After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

Murong Xiao looked at Qin Wanyou, "Second Miss Qin, it's been a long time!"

Qin Wanyou quickly bowed to Murong Xiao, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

"There's no need for formalities between us." Murong Xiao looked at the seemingly gentle woman. "How have you been lately?"

Qin Wanyou looked at the ground. "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine. You came to see Master Yun, didn't you?"

Murong Xiao didn't hide anything, "There are some things I need to ask a master for clarification and guidance on."

"Then Wanyou will not disturb the young master any longer." After saying this, Qin Wanyou nodded to Murong Xiao and prepared to leave.

Murong Xiao watched as Qin Wanyou rushed away as soon as she saw him, as if he were some kind of monster. "When will the Second Miss be free? I have some questions for her."

Qin Wanyou tilted her head slightly, "What is it?"

A young monk came out to announce that Murong Xiao was to come in and see Master Yun.

Murong Xiao left behind the words, "The Ginkgo Pavilion in the afternoon."

They walked towards Master Yun's reception room.

Qin Wanyou didn't know if she had heard Murong Xiao's last words, but she walked out of the courtyard without stopping.

Upon meeting Master Yun, Murong Xiao relayed the information he had received to him:

"Uncle-Master, I recently received news that someone is secretly collecting grain. At the same time, they have also reminded the people in the Yanjiang area to dredge the irrigation canals and plant water-loving vegetables and grains. I wonder if you have noticed any abnormal weather conditions here?"

Master Liaoyun shook his head.

Murong Xiao added, "My men also discovered that the grain collectors had arrived in Xiling County and demanded that the county magistrate order the people to dig irrigation ditches through the streams and dredge the mountains, and to plant more aquatic grains, etc."

In addition, it was also found that Xiling County is currently the fiefdom of Princess Qin Wanyou.

However, Murong Xiao did not tell Master Yun this.

Murong Xiao was shocked when he received the news. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to come and confirm with his martial uncle.

The authorities also ordered the army and local residents who had harvested corn and rice to temporarily suspend planting dryland crops, while rice cultivation continued.

After listening to Murong Xiao's words, Master Liaoyun thought about the dream Qin Wanyou had mentioned earlier, closed his eyes, and kept thinking.

After thinking for a while, he got up and took out a tortoise shell to cast a divination.

Looking at the divination results, Master Liaoyun's expression remained unchanged, unable to discern whether it was auspicious or inauspicious.

Murong Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Uncle-Master, this...?"

Liao Yun looked out the window at the horizon and said, "I will keep an eye on the celestial phenomena these next few days, so please be patient."

Murong Xiao's expression was somewhat serious. "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Uncle."

Liao Yun shook her head. "This is my duty. Is there anything else?"

Murong Xiao stated, "Not at the moment."

Master Liaoyun immediately told them to leave, "Then get out."

Murong Xiao silently left the room, feeling the intense heat of the June sun, but from time to time, dark clouds would obscure the sun, just like his martial uncle's face.

The afternoon sun was still blazing.

However, Huguo Temple is planted with many tall trees, whose lush branches and leaves shield most of the heat.

Qin Wanyou, dressed in a light blue long dress with gold trim, walked along the tree-lined path. A gentle breeze occasionally blew by, and a few strands of her hair fluttered in the wind, making her look like an elf walking in the forest.

A moment later, red silk ribbons began to flutter before their eyes.

The largest century-old ginkgo tree in Huguo Temple is also known as the "Smoke Tree of Fate." Many unmarried young men and women come here to pray for marriage, while engaged young couples who are in love come here to hang red ribbons and pray for a long and happy life together.

Because of the hot weather, especially in the afternoon, there weren't many people under the marriage tree at this time.

Qin Wanyou walked past the marriage tree without looking to the side and saw that Murong Xiao was already waiting at the Ginkgo Pavilion.

Qin Wanyou quickly stepped forward.

As soon as she stepped into the pavilion, she asked, "May I ask what business the young master has with me?"

Murong Xiao turned his gaze from the distant mountain ranges to Qin Wanyou, momentarily stunned, but quickly returned to normal. "I received news that someone is secretly hoarding grain."

Qin Wanyou turned to stare at Murong Xiao, shocked that they had found out about the news so quickly.

Murong Xiao continued, "Since my people were able to discover it, I believe others will also discover it, as well as what you're doing in your fiefdom."

Seeing that Qin Wanyou was still expressionless, he said, "Although it seems very ordinary, given your situation in the Right Prime Minister's residence, it will be difficult for Prime Minister Qin and the others not to notice anything unusual later."

Qin Wanyou spoke up, "Please inform me more, Your Highness, Wanyou knows what she is doing."

Murong Xiao asked seriously, "Qin Wanyou, what did you discover? Or do you know something?"

Qin Wanyou repeated what she had told Master Yun to Murong Xiao, "I have been dreaming recently that the Great Yan is about to encounter a flood, and the situation is very serious. I just told the people to take precautions."

Murong Xiao stared intently at Qin Wanyou, "Was it really just a dream?"

Qin Wanyou remained expressionless. "Yes."

The past life is like a dream, yet it feels so real.

Murong Xiao didn't know whether to believe it or not. He turned to look at the scenery below the mountain outside the pavilion. "Miss Qin, I've temporarily kept the news of your fiefdom move a secret for you, but it won't last long unless... unless Master Yun observes abnormal celestial phenomena in the past few days and informs the Emperor so that he can give instructions in court."

Qin Wanyou watched the birds flying freely in the forest in silence.

It's truly unknown whether celestial phenomena will provide any warning in advance.

However, I have done what I could, and whether they believe me or not is their business.

After thinking it over, he sincerely thanked Murong Xiao, "Young Master Murong, thank you very much, and I hope you can trust my judgment."

Murong Xiao stared at Qin Wanyou, "Second Miss Qin, I need evidence. Without proof, we cannot make the people of Great Yan go to great lengths to dig canals, widen waterways, and open sluice gates to release water based solely on a dream."

Qin Wanyou insisted, "I have no other explanation, it really was a dream!"

For a long time, neither of them spoke.

Finally, Qin Wanyou couldn't hold back any longer, "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"

Murong Xiao sighed inwardly, "Nothing for now."

"If there is nothing else, Wanyou will take her leave."

After Qin Wanyou finished speaking, she turned around and went back the way she came.

Murong Xiao looked at Qin Wanyou's retreating figure and said, "Second Miss Qin, if you wish to leave the Right Prime Minister's residence, I can suggest to the Emperor that you get married as soon as possible."

Qin Wanyou paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Your Highness, but not for now."

Then he continued walking away.

Murong Xiao watched Qin Wanyou's figure disappear. What a stubborn woman!

Master Liaoyun, who was standing on the high astronomical observation platform of Huguo Temple, witnessed the scene between the two. He never expected that the Emperor was not just randomly arranging a marriage.

Not long after Murong Xiao returned to his residence, he saw Mo Bei, who should have been handling matters at the Prince's Mansion, rushing over in a sweat.

"Master, a secret report."

Murong Xiao took it and saw that it was sent back from Chu Yue by Mo Dong.

Judging from the timing, they must have sent the message back shortly after arriving in Chu Yue.

Murong Xiao quickly opened the secret report.

The more I read the above, the more alarmed I became.

After reading it, he immediately took the information to Master Yun.
