The emperor couldn"t help but rub the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. He felt extremely tired and his scalp felt like it was covered in a thick layer of kraft paper. He felt his hand go numb. "Xu Li, has there been any news from King Yue?"
Xu Li shook his head in worry. "Reporting to your majesty, other than the news that His Majesty King Fu had safely made it to Jiangnan at the beginning, there has been no news of your return until now."
The emperor frowned and said, "Send more people to rush to Jiangnan. Make sure that King Yue is safe and sound."
"Yes." Xu Li was just about to go outside the hall to pa.s.s the order when a guard ran in quickly and kneeled on the ground: "Your majesty, five hundred miles is more urgent. The riverbank is broken, and riverside city, Huai"an city, and Yi River city are flooded one after another.
"..."
The emperor stood up abruptly and his body swayed involuntarily. His vision went dark and he almost fell to the ground. "Say it again?"
"Five hundred li is more urgent. Riverside Crash, Riverside City downstream, Huai An City …" Your Highness King Yue has gone missing …. "
Xu Li stepped forward and carefully held onto the emperor"s arm. "Your majesty, please calm down and take care of the dragon"s body!"
The emperor took in a few deep breaths before slowly recovering. He then said, "Go, declare the princes and officials to enter the palace."
"Yes."
The officials did not dare to delay any longer after receiving the news of entering the palace. They quickly left through the slippery streets of the palace after the heavy rain.
In the Qin Fang Garden, when Mu Yunyao received the news, her embroidery fingers paused slightly. The embroidery needle pierced deep into her fingertip and a dark red bead of blood instantly seeped out. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were both anxious. They hurriedly went to look for the medicine box.
Mu Yunyao gripped the bag tightly, the blood on her fingertips seeping into the flower design embroidered on the bag. Her face was extremely pale, and even her teeth were trembling, "Jin Lan, where"s Grandmother?"
"The Grand Princess is currently living in Ronghua Residence."
"I"m going to see my grandmother. Help me pack."
Jin Lan nodded halfway and suddenly stopped. "Miss, you are saying … …. Pack up your stuff? "
"Yes, I"ll go to Riverside City after I report to Grandmother."
"Young mistress..." Jin Lan wanted to continue persuading her, but before she could say anything, Mu Yunyao quickly walked out of the room.
Within Ronghua Residence, Grand Princess Yi De had just ordered for people to send reinforcements to ensure King Fu"s safe return. Hearing Mu Yunyao"s request for an audience, she couldn"t help but sigh. "Let her in."
After Mu Yunyao entered, she knelt on the ground and said, "Grandmother, Yunyao is unfilial. She wants to leave the capital and head to Riverside City to look for Your Highness."
Hearing her straightforward but firm tone, Grand Princess Yi De lightly closed her eyes. "Do you know what you are saying?" Grandmother, what I feel most now is regret. He regretted that he did not have the courage to face his own heart before. Now that he had heard the news of Yue Yang"s death, he could only feel guilty and harsh. Grandmother, I. I have fallen in love with His Highness King Yue.
"Grandmother, please help me."
"He"s your uncle!"
"I know, he doesn"t care, and I won"t care anymore." Mu Yunyao crossed her arms and knelt on the ground. The pearl hairpin above her head collided with each other and emitted a crisp sound.
"Have you decided?"
"Yes, no matter what kind of rumors spread or how many people criticize and scold me in the future, I want to be together with t.i.tan." When she heard that there was a flood in Riverside, a series of clues suddenly flashed through her mind. Everyone had sent a message before, saying that King Yu and King Jin wanted to blow up the situation. She thought that since they had already decided on the riverbank, the situation would become even bigger. Now that she thought about it, annual floods, droughts, locusts, snow … There were countless number of natural disasters, and the number of people displaced by them increased …
However, the riverbank that had been decided was not too big. Coupled with the death of the Fourth Prince when the riverbank had been breached, it was enough to cause a storm and cover up the fact that the salt tax had been vacuumed.
If he did not have complete confidence, he would not dare to create such a huge disturbance. That is to say, Yue Yang could have been successfully schemed against by King Jin, which was why no news of King Yue existed for such a long period of time …
King Jin"s actions were not only allowing him to escape, but also eliminating his enemy, King Yue. If he could find a way to frame King Yu, it would be killing three birds with one stone.
If it was King Yue … If he died …
This thought had just flashed through her mind when Mu Yunyao felt a heart-wrenching pain, making her wish she could curl up.
Princess Yi De sighed. "Your personality is usually soft, but in reality, your mind is extremely firm. Since you"ve made up your mind, your grandmother won"t say anything, and only hopes that no matter how great the storm gets, you and King Qian will be able to get through it together."
Mu Yunyao raised her head, her eyes filled with tears. "Grandmother, I"ve decided to stay with King Yue and will definitely bring you and mother endless trouble. Yunyao is unfilial."
"Foolish child, your mother and I share the same thoughts, so we both hope that you will have a good time. As for the trouble, it would also require those people to have the ability to do so. " Grand Princess Yi De raised a hand to help Mu Yunyao up. "You didn"t come to me just to express your feelings for your highness, right?"
"Yes, I want to go to Riverside City."
"There"s a water hazard in Riverside City, right now you can"t help much. Also, searching for someone in the vast sea of people is no different from searching for a needle in a haystack. If you go, you might not even be able to find King Fu."
"Grandmother, I know medicine. Right now, the riverbank is being broken, the surrounding cities are being flooded, the people are being displaced, the weather is gradually becoming hot, and it is most likely for an outbreak to occur. If I go, even if I cannot find King Yue, I will definitely be able to help."
"Fine, but you have to promise me you won"t take any risks. Take care of yourself on the way out, and come back no matter what you do. Not even a strand of hair is missing."
Mu Yunyao hurriedly nodded. "Yes, Grandmother, please be at ease. I"ll do it the moment I do it." Alright, now I"ll ask Senior Servant Qu to count the number of people you have on you, and also bring you the bestowal gold medal. This gold medal was given to me by the emperor, and seeing it, I can see that you"re a princess right now, even if you"re outside, you shouldn"t feel wronged. You don"t need me to tell you anything else.
There will be a decision. " Grand Princess Yi De"s heart ached as she helped Mu Yunyao to straighten her clothes. "Don"t cause trouble outside, but don"t be afraid. You can"t afford it. Grandmother will help you carry the burden!"
Mu Yunyao"s heart was moved as tears flashed in her eyes, "Many thanks Grandmother."
"Mm, go ahead."
Mu Yunyao retreated two steps, knelt in front of Grand Princess Yi De, and once again respectfully kowtowed. "Grandmother, please take care of yourself. Yao`er will definitely return safely." "Alright."
