At the mention of Concubine An, Liwang was faintly unhappy, Gu Xiaonuan also saw Liwang's thoughts, and said with a smile, "The king won't suspect that Sister An hurt me, right?" ”

Li Wang glanced out of the hall slightly, Gu Xiaonuan also guessed his thoughts, and then said with a smile, "Sister An, she won't, this person is definitely not Sister An." ”

The king sighed and said, "But she handed the cup of tea to the queen, and no matter how she said it, she couldn't get rid of it." ”

At this moment, he was very conflicted in his heart, although he also suspected that it was Concubine An, but in his heart he couldn't bear to punish her because he loved her. But if she is not punished, the queen will inevitably be unable to speak, so she was very bored for a while.

And Gu Xiaonuan also saw this in her thoughts, Gu Xiaonuan smiled and said, "A cup of tea can't say anything at all, and the concubine can trust Sister An, Sister An has served by the concubine's side for so many years, what kind of person is she, the concubine knows best, she is kind-hearted, docile and well-behaved, and timid, like a kitten, where would there be that guts to poison me." ”

Li Wang was still a little worried, and said, "But she handed the cup of tea to the queen." ”

"But, the more this is the case, the more I can't punish Sister An, presumably the person who poisoned me is trying to frame Sister An and harm me. If the king punished Sister An, wouldn't it be the same as the person behind the scenes? Gu Xiaonuan said.

After hearing Gu Xiaonuan's words, King Li also felt that there was some truth, nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "What the queen said makes sense, it's just ...... That cup of tea was made by Jiao Yue herself, without the hands of others, it is really not easy to find out the real murderer, this time the queen escaped death, this king must not bypass that person, even if he rummaged through the entire palace, he had to turn that person out. ”

Gu Xiaonuan smiled slightly, she knew that when Li Wang said such things at this time, he just wanted to cover up that he really liked Hua Jiaoyue, and to appease himself. But she is not Gong Yuyao, she doesn't care what Liwang does or says, she is here, she simply wants to live.

If she wants to live well here, then acting on the spot is something she must learn, so looking at the indignant and unhappy Liwang, she smiled and quipped, "The king's intentions Ayao understands, but the king should hurry up and let Sister An get up, Sister An has been kneeling for several hours, and the concubines are distressed." ”

King Liwang had long wanted to let Hua Jiaoyue get up, and when Gu Xiaonuan said this, he pretended to be abrupt, and then ordered someone to call Concubine An up.

Looking at the melancholy look of the king, Gu Xiaonuan asked tentatively, "Is the king worried?" ”

Liwang sighed, shook his head, stood up and walked to the front of the case, "Recently, there have been floods in the southern border, flooding, flooding many fertile land houses, displacing people, and the people in the southern border can be said to be struggling to make a living. Although many officials were sent to control the floods, they did not achieve good results, and seeing that the winter was about to pass, the rainy season was about to arrive, and if the rainy season could not eliminate the floods, the consequences would be ....... Leaving Wang Ben was just a sigh for himself, and it wasn't for Gu Xiaonuan, but Gu Xiaonuan thought of a way after hearing it.

Looking at the melancholy departure from the king, Gu Xiaonuan said, "I don't know how the officials sent by the king to control the water are treated?" ”

Li Wang didn't think much about it, just thinking that it was Gu Xiaonuan chatting with him casually, and he replied casually, "Build a dike, but the flood is too fierce, and the dikes can't withstand the fierce flood after all, and they are all washed away." ”

As soon as Gu Xiaonuan heard this, he helped himself up, walked to the side of the king, sat down and said, "Ah Yao has a suggestion, maybe it will be useful for this water." ”

Liwang originally just chatted with Gu Xiaonuan casually, and he didn't expect her to give him any advice, but now that Gu Xiaonuan said this, he was a little surprised, and he asked with some surprise, "Oh, I don't know what advice the queen has?" ”

"Since it can't be blocked, why not change the blockage to sparse." Gu Xiaonuan said.

Li Wang was puzzled, frowned, and asked Gu Xiaonuan, "What is the change from blocking to sparseness?" ”

Gu Xiaonuan saw that King Lili was probably a little interested in his suggestion, so he continued, "Change the blockage to dredging, as the name suggests, since it can't be blocked, why not dredge, the king sent so many people to control the flood, and so many dikes were built that couldn't stop the flood, so why not block it and dredge it instead." It is to dig the river, widen the river, and let the flood flow down the downstream, so that after dredging, the flow of water will be unblocked, and there will be no flood, and there will be a flood in a place outside the country, and there will be a place for drought. ”

Liwang listened to Gu Xiaonuan's suggestion and felt that what she said was very good, this suggestion was very good, but there was one thing he was very worried about, that is, it was not a simple thing to do, and the difficulties that needed to be overcome were not ordinary.

Gu Xiaonuan naturally saw the king's thoughts, and she continued, "The concubine knows that the king is worried that this will require a lot of financial resources and manpower, and the difficulties to be encountered are also very imaginable. But if this goes on for a long time, just blindly building the dike, but it keeps being washed away, it will be useless, and the effort will be in vain, and in the end nothing will be changed, and nothing will be gained. Although it is difficult to dig a river, once the river is dredged, it can benefit the people, so that the people who have left the country can get rid of the suffering of the flood. ”

Liwang looked at Gu Xiaonuan and felt that she had really changed, although she was still Ayao, she didn't seem to be Ayao.

Although she is still the same as Ah Yao, her personality is so sunny and intelligent, but unlike Ah Yao, she seems to have a trace of tenderness in her, which makes people can't help but want to get closer.

It's just that he is a little curious, he always feels that Ah Yao's thoughts are different from before, even if Ah Yao was also a ghost spirit in the past, but today she always feels different, so he couldn't help asking, "This method is indeed good, but I don't know how the queen suddenly thought of such a method." ”

Gu Xiaonuan looked at Liwang and smiled lightly, and said, "This method is not what I thought of, it was left by a great man named Dayu in ancient times, and as for digging rivers to lead floods to drought-stricken places, it is to cite the case of the South-to-North Water Diversion." ”

Gu Xiaonuan had never heard of these things from the king, not only was he a little curious, but he had to admit that this was indeed a rare method.

Gu Xiaonuan knew that after hearing this, King Liwang would definitely ask what period it was in ancient times, etc., and she would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end, so she said directly, "The king knows Ah Yao, he has been naughty since he was a child, and these allusions are also what Ah Yao accidentally saw when he was in the attic of the library when he was in Beijing, but as for the book, Ah Yao forgot it." ”

Seeing that Gu Xiaonuan said this, Li Wang didn't ask again, and then Gu Xiaonuan retreated on the grounds that he was unwell and went down to rest first.

When she withdrew, Concubine An had been standing at the door and waiting for a long time, looking at Gu Xiaonuan who came out, she wanted to be sure that Gu Xiaonuan was talking bad about her inside, so she didn't pay attention to her.

Gu Xiaonuan glanced at her, and left without thinking much about her, because she didn't care about all this.
