The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Lu Jinan raised his eyes to look at Xie Zhiyan, a little bit incredulous: "Sir, you came here in the rain at night just to deliver a letter?"

Xie Zhiyan didn't say anything.

He stood there and glanced calmly in the direction of Jiang Wantang's bedroom.

Thinking that she must be worried after not hearing from Ji Wuyuan for such a long time, she rushed over as soon as she received the secret letter.

Lu Jinan understood it in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

What kind of letter could make a great Dali Temple Minister personally deliver it in the middle of the night in the rain?

It's nothing more than wanting to make her feel at ease, and it's nothing more than wanting to make myself feel at ease.

Although he seems indifferent to the girl, he is actually concerned about her.

Alas, a man who says one thing and means another!

Lu Jinan looked at his soaked robes, sighed silently in his heart, and said, "Sir, do you want to change into clean robes first?"

"No need..." Xie Zhiyan said expressionlessly, his voice light and clear: "I have something else to do, I'll leave now."

After saying that, Xie Zhiyan turned around and left.

"Sir, please stay..." Lu Jinan seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly stopped Xie Zhiyan.

Afterwards, under Xie Zhiyan's puzzled gaze, he handed the envelope that Jiang Wantang had given him to Xie Zhiyan.

The latter opened the envelope and looked down at the crudely drawn drawing inside. He was startled at first, then he curled his lips and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Xie Zhiyan recently visited various towns in the surrounding area, firstly to investigate the disaster situation and the damage to the dams, and secondly to survey the surrounding terrain and mountains in order to plan a better strategy to control the floods.

The idea of ​​opening mountains and diverting canals that Jiang Wantang drew on the blueprint coincided with his idea.

As he watched, the smile on Xie Zhiyan's lips deepened.

It was as if every inch of the two people's souls were in perfect harmony, thus creating a sense of resonance.

It was really hard for him not to love Jiang Wantang, who was so smart, even though he knew that she was as cunning as a hornet's nest.

Thus, her beauty and her badness became everything he loved deeply.

Seeing this, Lu Jinan moved over curiously, wanting to see what was drawn on the drawing.

Xie Zhiyan didn't hide anything and just unfolded the drawing and placed it in front of him.

At a glance, Lu Jinan's pupils widened instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise: "This...is this a good way to control the flood?!"

He was also an important participant in the flood control effort, so he naturally understood what the scribbled circles and lines in the painting represented.

For a long time, Lu Jinan was still in disbelief. Then he pointed in the direction of Jiang Wantang's bedroom. It took him a long time to regain his ability to speak: "Did she really draw this?!"

Xie Zhiyan smiled casually and didn't answer.

Yes, he saw with his own eyes Jiang Wantang putting the drawings into an envelope and then handing it to him.

There was a moment of silence before Lu Jinan spoke again, his tone unclear: "I underestimated her..."

"I am ashamed of myself."

He originally thought that Jiang Wantang was just a scheming and cunning concubine in the harem, but now his impression of her has completely changed.

Less prejudice and more respect and admiration.

Xie Zhiyan smiled, raised his hand and patted Lu Jinan's shoulder, saying indifferently: "Let's go..."

After saying that, he took a deep look in the direction of Jiang Wantang's bedroom. It was pitch black.

It's time to go to bed at this hour.

Then, he turned and left.

Lu Jinan watched Xie Zhiyan's tall figure disappear in the dark rain.

He shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Why do you rush here in the rain in the middle of the night and leave in the rain in a hurry?

The next day, when Jiang Wantang got up, the rain had stopped outside and the sun was out.

When Jiang Wantang went downstairs, Lu Jinan handed Ji Wuyuan's secret letter to her, saying only that it was sent by Lord Xie, but not that he personally delivered it.

This is also what Xie Zhiyan explained yesterday.

Jiang Wantang returned to her room and opened the letter. The first sentence that caught her eye was: "I love Wantang. Seeing your letter is like meeting you in person. I am happy to see you..."

There wasn't much in the letter, just a few sentences, basically assuring her that she was safe and asking her to take care of herself.

And also to tell her that he had arrived in Minnesota.

At the end of the letter, it said: "My dear, the journey is long, please take care of yourself. I hope you are well. When I return, we can enjoy the spring flowers and autumn moon together and stay together until we are old."

Jiang Wantang lowered her eyes and saw a plump and round red bean stuffed inside the envelope.

The exquisite dice and red beans, do you know how deeply I miss you?

Jiang Wantang picked up the red bean, placed it in the palm of her hand, and stared at it deeply.

After a long time, she blinked, and the corners of her eyes turned slightly red.

Yun Shang stood behind her and asked, "Sister, do you want to reply?"

Jiang Wantang shook her head, then put the letter and the red beans back into the envelope and put them away.

Not long after, the two of them packed up and went to the city to help. Yun Shang continued to provide porridge to the refugees, while Jiang Wantang assisted the doctors among the refugees and helped the woman from yesterday to find out the whereabouts of her granddaughter.

For several days, there was no news.

Fortunately, the flood problem was quickly resolved under the governance of Xie Zhiyan. He led the people to open mountains to divert canals, build dams, and build villages for the refugees...

Just as things were getting better, a plague suddenly broke out, and it happened to be in the village where Xie Zhiyan was.

Xie Zhiyan ordered his men to seal off the entire village, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, including himself.

He issued a death order, and no one dared to tell Jiang Wantang about this.

By the time Jiang Wantang discovered it, it was three days later.

Jiang Wantang ignored Lu Jinan's obstruction and rode alone to the village, but received a message from Xie Zhiyan on the way.

He said that those people from the Qi family had ordered people to transport a large amount of explosives to Mingzhou and trapped Ji Wuyuan in the mountains with the intention of blowing him up, and asked Jiang Wantang to find Ji Wuyuan first.

Not only that, Xie Zhiyan also had people prepare a fast horse and luggage for her.

It seems that the situation is serious and urgent.

Jiang Wantang looked at everything in front of him and his heart sank.

She didn't dare to delay and immediately jumped on her horse and headed towards Mingzhou.

After sending her away, Lu Jinan put on a mask, fumigated himself with mugwort several times, and went to Xie Zhiyan's location to report.

"Is she gone?"
