Chapter 246: Deliberately

"Jiang Yan, where is your Royal Highness?" Only getting off the horse with Zhuo Jing's support, Xie Yaoguang asked after standing still.

"Your Highness...... He's there! Jiang Yan pointed to a place not far away, and said with a half-loud smile: "Miss Xie, my Royal Highness is stupid and can't say anything to please the girl." Don't be angry......"

When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang's face sank, and even Zhuo Jing's face was cold, and others could find that Zhuo Jing's face was already cloudy at the moment, and if Jiang Yan said anything more, he was afraid that he would die here.

Sensing that the gaze staring at him was wrong, Jiang Yan saw that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words: "Miss Xie, don't misunderstand what I mean. I was just...... Never mind...... I still have military affairs here, so I won't bother Miss Xie. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, before Xie Yaoguang could speak, Jiang Yan immediately led people out of Xie Yaoguang's line of sight quickly, but he vaguely heard Xie Yaoguang whisper: "He does have a very stupid mouth."

Jiang Yan, who heard this, couldn't help but be happy, it seems that His Royal Highness has a drama in this matter. However, which guard beside Xie Yaoguang is really annoying.

Xie Yaoguang and the others followed the direction pointed by Jiang Yan to find Ye Linchen, and the group only walked a few steps before they met Ye Linchen who had returned from patrolling with people.

At this moment, the rain has become much lighter.

Ye Linchen was slightly surprised when he saw Xie Yaoguang, and saw Xie Yaoguang leaning on Zhuo Jing wrapped in a cloak and a hat, his eyes sank in vain, and then said: "Yaoyao, you have never been in good health, so let's go in with me to avoid the rain first."

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang didn't move, but looked around and couldn't help sighing. The scene in front of her was even more tragic than what she had seen on the way here, with ruins everywhere and mourning and wailing endlessly, which was quite moving.

Looking at the flat terrain in the distance, there were many white tents, and the soldiers walking in the tents were carrying hot food in their hands and distributing them one by one, or squatting not far away to guard the medicine stove to fry medicine, but fortunately there were not many displaced people around.

These people would never have imagined that this rainstorm would be so cruel that it would even become their talisman. Seeing such a scene in the bustling capital is really unheard of, unseen. Xie Yaoguang smiled sarcastically, and at this time, when the cold wind blew on her, she subconsciously wrapped the fox fur on her body.

"Let's go ahead and shelter from the rain." Ye Linchen caught a glimpse of Xie Yaoguang's movements and said softly, "Mother concubine told me that your body can't stand the cold. ”

An eagle roared in the sky, and a goshawk circled down and landed on Qingluan's shoulder, with a bamboo tube tied to the eagle's feet. Qingluan took out the letterhead in the bamboo tube and looked at it for a while, then bowed down and said, "Miss, just now there is news from Beijing that the Xie family has already left, and they will be able to arrive here early tomorrow." It's just that Wei Lao heard that Miss You're also here, and you have already personally repaired the book to the third son. ”

"yes, I see"

Seeing that there were still outsiders present, Qingluan naturally didn't dare to go any further, and the group entered a camp tent set up not far away. As soon as Xie Yaoguang took off his hat, he was pulled by Ye Linchen to sit down on the side of the specially prepared fire. The warmth brought by the burning stove quickly drove away the chill around Xie Yaoguang, and although Zhuo Jing protected him all the way, Xie Yaoguang's face was still a little pale.

As for Suzaku and the others, as soon as they saw Xie Yaoguang and Ye Linchen entering the camp tent, they consciously dispersed to help everywhere, leaving Zhuo Jing to guard outside the camp tent.

"Well, I got the news this morning, and I'm here as fast as I can. But they didn't want the scene to be so tragic, and the people here would never have thought that the place where they had lived for generations would bring them destruction...... I don't know how many people have been displaced by this torrential rain. Seeing that Xie Yaoguang's exposed hands were slightly red, Ye Linchen silently pulled Xie Yaoguang's wrist and rubbed it between his palms, "When I froze my hands when I was a child, my mother used this method to invigorate my blood and dispel the cold. It is not a good thing for cold qi to accumulate in the meridians. ”

Since he knew that Xie Yaoguang was the apprentice of his mother's senior brother, Ye Linchen inexplicably had a lot of good feelings for Xie Yaoguang. Sometimes when I see her with Zhuo Jing, I can't help but feel a sense of strangeness in my heart. He didn't like to see the two of them behave so closely, it really disgusted him for no reason.

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang was slightly stunned, silently looked at the hand held in the palm of Ye Linchen's palm, was speechless for a while, and the whole person moved in the direction of the brazier, and laughed, "As far as I know, the embankment here was strengthened and built by Zhang Qin, so Your Highness thinks carefully about whether this matter is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?" ”

"You mean this breach was deliberately planned?" Ye Linchen made a movement in his hand, his eyes fixed on Xie Yaoguang's face that was red from the firelight, and asked in disbelief.

"His Royal Highness should know who Zhang Qin is. If the dam overseen by Zhang Qin bursts, who will bear the brunt of the blame? Moreover, at that time, Shen Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, also participated in the construction of the dam. Now don't look at His Majesty's repeated punishments to His Royal Highness the Prince, he is still extremely protective of the Crown Prince inside. As long as the crown prince does not make a big mistake, he will not be abolished for a day. Just taking advantage of Ye Linchen's stunned efforts, Xie Yaoguang withdrew his hand and hid it in the fox fur, his eyes lowered and his lips hooked into a sneer, "But if the embankment built by the prince's subordinates is responsible for killing so many innocent people, and the people are resentful for a while, the prince's position will inevitably be lost." Who will benefit from this? ”

Facing Xie Yaoguang's series of questions, Ye Linchen, who suddenly understood, stood up, his eyes became cold, and he punched Zhuo. The anger swept across his face, his thin lips tightened, revealing cold and hard lines, and he reprimanded angrily: "King Shou, how dare he do such a thing in such a vain regard, he is simply mad!" ”

Seeing Ye Linchen so annoyed, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but sigh. Although the reservoir can survive for a while without Shouwang, when a certain time comes, the dam may still burst. One is deliberately done by someone, and the other is providential...... In the final analysis, it is the former that makes people feel outrageous.

Compared with Ye Linchen's indignation, Xie Yaoguang's thoughts were still entangled in what method King Shou used to make the reservoir burst. It's all too coincidental.

"Your Highness is angry. This is not a good time to get angry, and I wonder what kind of method King Shou used to destroy the embankment and cause it to burst all at once. Xie Yaoguang glanced at Ye Linchen worriedly, wrinkled his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "This embankment should have been supervised by Zhang Qin five years ago, and at that time, he had just taken office as the head of the household department, and I am afraid that he would not dare to do too much." This embankment has not had any major problems for so long, why did King Shou burst as soon as he intervened? ”
