"Princess, go in, it's okay to have Liuyun with the prince."

Mu Li was reluctant to look at Chu Lingyi's back, his eyes were sour, and he turned around and went back to his room.

"By the way, you are going to check the costumes and headgear you will wear tomorrow, and there are no mistakes." Mu Li knew that she didn't have to worry about Qing Kite's errands, but tomorrow was her first appearance, and she was worried.

Mu Li sat at the table, looking at the chess game on the table, his heart was full of Chu Lingyi. This Hedong village has always been a wealthy village, and even the tax is 10% higher than other places, so how can there be a sudden drought.

Although there is little rain at this time, it will not be dry, not to mention that a river surrounds Hedong Village, which is enough for the villagers of Hedong Village to solve the problem of lack of rain. The more Mu Li thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she even thought that it would be because her crossing had destroyed a balance in the world that strange things would happen one after another, but this was just Mu Li's conjecture.

"Iris, you can go and get Xue Ping for me in a while." Mu Li was not worried that Chu Lingyi would only bring Liuyun alone, thinking that Xue Ping would bring some people over to support Chu Lingyi, and Mu Li would be more relieved if there were many people.

"Yes, I'll go."

Xue Ping came, "Princess, what are you looking for me?" ”

Xue Ping is generally only responsible for things in the cell, and other things are handled by Liuyun. Mu Li knew that she was a little abrupt like this, but when it came to Chu Lingyi's safety, she couldn't care about these rules.

"The prince and Liuyun went to Hedong Village, just half an hour or so, you will bring someone to take a look in a while."

"Back to the princess, the prince has already explained, let me stay in the palace." Before leaving, Chu Lingyi deliberately explained that Xue Ping was guarding the prince's mansion, and he was not worried that Mu Li was alone in the mansion.

"Just listen to me, and you'll be ready to go in a moment." Mu Li thought that he wouldn't leave the mansion anyway, and there would be nothing going on, and besides, Hedong Village was not far from the palace, and there was no big deal.

The green kite hurriedly gave Xue Ping a look, asking him to hurry up and prepare, don't let the princess worry. Only then did Xue Ping take people to Hedong Village to meet Chu Lingyi.

Mu Li was a little relieved.

"Princess, Xue Ping has already brought someone there, you can rest assured." Qing Kite looked at Mu Li's sad face, and her heart was also anxious.

Mu Li swung the chess game on the table, and no matter how he went, it was a dead game. Mu Li threw all the chess pieces on the ground in annoyance, "What's the matter, do you even want to play tricks on me in the chess game?" ”

The green kite didn't know why Mu Li was angry, so she bent down and picked up the chess pieces on the ground one by one. Seeing that Mu Li's face was not good, the green kite didn't dare to say more, and exited the room and stood at the door waiting.

"Lord Wang, I have asked, and the nearby villagers said that the river here disappeared overnight." Liuyun visited several households, and they all thought it was very strange how the river could dry up overnight. Some people even say that it may also be related to the princess of the prince's mansion, and it was the monster sent by the princess who sucked it dry.

The ignorance of the villagers really made Chu Lingyi very angry, but he knew that it was definitely not groundless, it must have been spread by someone, which would make Mu Li wronged for no reason.

"Let's go and see the situation at the scene first." Chu Lingyi guessed that it must be artificial, otherwise how could it have disappeared for no reason.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Chu Lingyi took a brief look and did not find any abnormalities. The river did not dry up very much, which means that the water has only been released for a few days, and it can still sink when you step on it. The aquatic plants along the river are already half-dead with the silt, and the crops in the fields have turned their leaves.

If the water is not brought to the ground in time, the villagers' harvest will be lost. Chu Lingyi would not let such a thing happen, the most important thing at the moment was to find the reason for the disappearance of the river, so that the water from other places could be diverted back into the river to supply the water that Hedong Village needed every day.

After a while, Xue Ping also arrived, "Lord Wang, have you found out?" ”

"Why are you here?"

"It's the princess."

After Xue Ping arrived, it was much easier for Chu Lingyi to get things done. Xue Ping was responsible for going to the end of the river to check the reason, while Chu Lingyi and Liuyun went to inquire about the people.

The people have expressed their opinions on the drying up of the river, and many people are still more reasonable, thinking that the embankment may not be strong enough and leaking.

In short, it is impossible for Chu Lingyi to finish the matter in one afternoon, but tomorrow is the day when Mu Li takes the stage, and Chu Lingyi has to rush back no matter what.

"Let's do this first, let Xue Ping stay here, and you follow me back." Chu Lingyi had to rush back before dark, so as not to worry Mu Li.

Chu Lingyi didn't go back, Mu Li didn't eat much for dinner, he put on a cloak and stood in front of the window looking at the door, really hoping to see Chu Lingyi in the next moment.

"Princess, it's cold, let's rest early, the prince may have something delayed, but I believe he will definitely be there tomorrow." Qing Kite looked at Mu Li like that, and felt that it would be dangerous to appear on stage tomorrow.

Mu Li leaned against the window, and didn't hear what the green kite said. She thought that if Chu Lingyi didn't come back, she wouldn't have the courage to go to Defu Restaurant tomorrow.

"No, I've got to go and see if something happens." Mu Li wrapped his cloak tightly and opened the door.

The green kite chased out, "Princess, princess......"

In order to return to the prince's mansion as soon as possible, Chu Lingyi did not stop for a moment, and finally came back. Hearing the voice of the green kite calling Mu Li, he thought that something was going on in the mansion, and staggered into the palace.

Mu Li crashed into Chu Lingyi's arms, and after looking up and finding that it was Chu Lingyi, he couldn't be happier when he smiled, but his face immediately changed. "Do you know how to come back?"

Mu Li has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart, not to mention how worried Chu Lingyi is, but he just doesn't say it, and he has to complain that Chu Lingyi came back late.

"Why is the princess driving this king away?" Chu Lingyi was also naughty, turned around and walked out of the gate.

Mu Li was also arrogant, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, don't come back if you leave." Mu Li hurriedly ran towards the room.

Chu Lingyi knew that Mu Li was worried about himself before he said this, but he was just thinking about making a joke with her, but he didn't know that she was serious.

"Okay, this king knows that you are worried, but the things in Hedong Village are a little strange, and I won't find anything today." Chu Lingyi comforted Mu Li while talking about the affairs of Hedong Village.

Mu Li is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, she knows that Chu Lingyi cares about the people, which is exactly what she values him. "How?" Mu Li also wanted to hear it, maybe she could also help come up with ideas to reduce the burden on Chu Lingyi.

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow, the princess should rest quickly." Tomorrow is the day when Mu Li will take the stage, Chu Lingyi doesn't let Mu Li worry too much, besides, these are all things that Chu Lingyi is doing, so he can't trouble Mu Li.
