Chapter 123: Chapter 121: The Emperor's Wrath (I)

After three more days of waiting, I finally got the news again! What Mu Qingya didn't expect was that the person who came this time turned out to be Duanmu Lingyu! At that time, she was looking at the chessboard in the center of the room, and when she heard the sound of opening the 'door', she thought it was Leqi and didn't pay much attention to it, but the person who didn't want to come didn't hear the movement for a long time, and when she raised her head, she found that it was the Seventh Prince standing in front of her.

At first glance, she almost didn't recognize it, compared with the previous demeanor, his current appearance is extremely embarrassed, his eyes are slightly black, his chin is full of blue 'color' stubble, his clothes are stained with muddy water, his body is much thinner than before, but his expression is much calmer than before, and his deep eyes are different from the solemnity and pain of the past, it seems that this time things have really changed him a lot!

Also, yesterday's prosperity has turned into a flood of sorrow in the blink of an eye, and hundreds of people have been displaced and homeless...... How can such a huge contrast not be painful!

Seeing that Le Qi hadn't come in at this time, Mu Qingya knew that it must have been Duanmu Lingyu who had spoken before he came in, so he got up and poured a cup of tea himself.

Duanmu Lingyu didn't speak, but after taking Mu Qingya's tea, he just took a sip and put it aside, and sat silently!

After being silent for a while, he finally spoke up, and his voice was indeed a little hoarse: "Qingya, I regret it!" ”

Mu Qingya raised her head, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't understand why he said this.

"I regret why I didn't notice it sooner, you know? The Huaishui embankment burst was done by the eldest brother! In order to attract the attention of his father and the emperor, he led to the inside story of the corruption of the officials collected by the second emperor's brother, so he listened to Hou Yu's opinion, and secretly sent people to move under the embankment of the Huai River, which was the last barrier to stop the Huai River, a total of 1,782 households in the lower reaches of the Huai River, were swallowed up by the Huai River in an instant, and those people who were instigated to sue the emperor, they came with hope, but they didn't even see the face of their father, and they were flooded...... The father sent people to the disaster relief, but he didn't want the second emperor brother to be jealous of the eldest emperor's brother Yang Feng' 'yin' and didn't act at all, I just stood by and watched them being washed away, there was no way to do it......" Duanmu Lingyu said, gritted his teeth, clenched his fist and punched the wall next to him fiercely, and suddenly a blood mark was imprinted on the wall!

Mu Qingya walked over, stared at his expression, his mood became heavier and heavier, and took his hand down, only to find that the back of his hand was covered with wounds, obviously it was not the first time he had beaten the wall like this, pulled him aside, cleaned his wound with water, wrapped the clean handkerchief, and then sat back in his original position, without saying a word!

Duanmu Lingyu frowned slightly, looked at Mu Qingya, but found that her eyes were quiet, as if she hadn't listened to his words, and her heart was a little weak, she originally thought that she would say some words of comfort after bandaging herself, but she didn't want her to react at all, and her eyes gradually lowered!

Mu Qingya gently pinched her fingertips and slightly hooked the corners of her 'lips': "What, the Seventh Prince thought I would comfort you?" ”

Duanmu Lingyu looked up: "Shouldn't you say something?" ”

"Say? I don't know what to say now, I just know that it's always easier to say than to do, and you're complaining here about whether you can prevent the flood from raging, or will you save one more people? Instead of working on your mouth, you should think about dealing with the next big disaster! Mu Qingya sneered, no matter how good she is, it's better to do something practical for the people, she just doesn't want to be honest when she bandages him, he still thinks he will comfort him?

Duanmu Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little abrupt, but he heard Mu Qingya continue:

"No matter who started this matter, it doesn't matter now, and at this time, no matter how much you regret it, it will be useless! Do you still expect your guilt to bring the Huai River back and stop the heavy rain? ”

Duanmu Lingyu sat back in his seat weakly, his eyes were much calmer, and he said weakly for a while: "What you say is reasonable!" ”

Seeing that his mood had stabilized, Mu Qingya spoke again: "It's been raining heavily for seven days, haven't you noticed anything?" ”

Duanmu Lingyu was taken aback: "What? ”

"The rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River are already 'intertwined', and the rain in the past few days has caused the water of the rivers to rise sharply, and I heard that many rivers have launched floods and drowned many people! And it is too difficult to rescue the disaster on such a rainy day, and the temperature is so high......" Speaking of this, Mu Qingya paused slightly, looking at Duanmu Lingyu's body that instantly stiffened, and knew that he had figured it out!

After the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic, it is summer now, the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is already high, those drowned people and animal carcasses have no time to deal with it, once the epidemic occurs, then the situation is definitely not under the control of the imperial court! Drought and lack of food in the northwest can cause riots, and if the entire south of the Yangtze River becomes popular, then the 'jade' is in danger!

"Qingya, what can you do?"

Mu Qingya shook her head, her eyes became cold: "The current situation is not certain, and I haven't come up with any specific and feasible methods, but one thing you have to know, the seriousness of this matter must be let the emperor know, this is no longer something you can deal with by yourself, originally thought that with the help of the Huaihe 'chaos' you can stabilize Jiangnan, but I don't want God to put down such a big test...... If this matter is not handled well, Jiangnan will be ruined! ”

Duanmu Qing's face was ugly: "I know...... I'll figure it out as soon as I can! ”

There was already a lot of water in the courtyard, and the rain in the sky fell only to 'stir up' the sound of water, the two sat in the room and did not speak, they were silent for a long time, Duanmu Lingyu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the gray sky: "Qingya, you said that if Jiangnan is really violent this time|' What will happen to Chaos', 'Jade' Han? ”

Hearing the slight uneasiness and melancholy in his tone, Mu Qingya's heart was slightly uncomfortable: "Do your best to know the destiny of heaven!" ”

Duanmu Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, then His Highness will also believe in God and do his best to know the destiny of heaven!" "The narrow phoenix eyes are no longer full of brilliance but a firm cold slaughter, and even the arc of the resolute 'lips' has a hint of astonishing coldness, and the thought in his heart is extremely firm: no matter what, Jiangnan can't be 'chaotic'!" Jade's cold can't be 'messy'!

Feeling the change in Duanmu Lingyu's breath, Mu Qingya's eyes 'waves' fluctuated, this incident wiped out the last bit of Duanmu Lingyu's indecision, and made him start to think about the problem from the perspective of an emperor, although the cost is a little bigger, but if he can achieve an emperor, it can only be regarded as worthwhile...... Thinking like this, I don't know why there is a faint sense of loss in her heart, she doesn't want to touch the palace, but Duanmu Lingyu wants to become an emperor, and they will only get farther and farther away after all!

"Qingya, are you okay here?" Firming up his thoughts, Duanmu Lingyu relaxed a lot.

"Well, that's good!"

"This time, my father asked me to come to see the situation of Guangdu Temple, the palace where he lives now is too close to the Huai River, I think he will move over tomorrow!"

"That's fine, Guangdu Temple is on the top of the mountain, the terrain is quite high, and there will not be any danger for a while, but you'd better tell the emperor if something happens. Chaos', this is also the easiest place to be trapped to death! Mu Qingya said.

Duanmu Lingyu nodded: "I will naturally tell my father about the situation, since this is the case, I will go first, you take good care of Lord Mu, take care of yourself, I have left two more people by your side, if there is anything, you let them inform me, don't let Le Qi leave your side, I always feel that the eldest brother they are not so easy to give up!" ”

"Got it!" Mu Qingya nodded slightly, with a little smile on her face, she didn't notice it herself, the smile from the heart seemed to be with starlight, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off!

Duanmu Lingyu's eyes were slightly warm, and he only felt that it was worth it to be able to see her smile on a trip up the mountain: "Then I'll go!" ”

Seeing his figure in a robe disappear into the rain, Mu Qingya fell silent.

Le Qi walked over: "Miss? ”

"You ask people to prepare, I'm afraid the emperor will come back tomorrow, and my father's Jiangnan disaster will definitely not be able to hide it, find a way to deal with it in advance!"

"Yes!" Le Qi's mood was slightly gloomy, "Miss, there's nothing going on with the Seventh Prince, right?" ”

Mu Qingya nodded: "There is nothing for the time being, and I won't know in a few days!" ”

Originally, I thought that Duanmuqing's royal car would at least wait until tomorrow, but I didn't want to be startled by the chaotic sound in the middle of the night!

"Leqi, what's going on?"

"Miss, it's the emperor's royal car here!" Leqi said.

Mu Qingya was stunned for a moment, then her brows furrowed, and then a little realization rose in her heart, although Guangdu Temple is easy to be besieged, but at present, it is indeed the most suitable place to avoid floods, not to mention that it is very famous here, and there is no place to go when you want to come to Duanmuqing!

"Leqi, help me comb my hair, let's pick it up!"

Looking at the dark green in Mu Qingya's eyes, Le Qi was very distressed, she had not slept well in the past two days, even if she fell asleep, her brows were locked, and she had been worried about the affairs of Jiangnan since she thought about it......

Mu Qingya smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine!" ”

The rain was too heavy, so the two of them held up umbrellas, and when they walked to the front hall, they still wet their dresses, but at this time, they couldn't scruple about so much.

"Miss Mu, are you really here? The emperor said that you will come over soon, so let the servants wait here, you can go in quickly! When Gude saw Mu Qingya, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him!

Hearing this, Mu Qingya hesitated in her heart, but she didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and walked into the front hall!

As soon as he entered the 'door' of the hall and saw the scene inside, his pupils suddenly shrank, and in the main hall, Duanmu Qing was sitting on the seat, his face was slightly bruised, his lips were pale, and the hands placed next to a few cases were trembling, and his violent anger was raging in his fierce eyes!
