Chapter 121 Emperor's Wrath
After waiting for another three days, I finally received the message again! What Mu Qingya didn't expect was that the person who came this time was Duanmu Lingyu! At that time, she was looking at the chessboard in the center of the room. When she heard the sound of opening the door, she thought it was Leqi, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but the person who didn't want to come didn't hear anything for a long time. She looked up and found that the seventh prince was standing in front of her.
At first glance, she almost didn't recognize it. Compared with his previous demeanor, his current appearance is particularly awkward. His eyes are slightly black, his chin is full of cyan stubble, and his clothes are covered with mud. His body is much thinner than before, but his expression is much calmer and deeper than before. His eyes are different from the solemnity and pain of the past. It seems that this incident has really changed him a lot!
Also, yesterday's prosperity turned into a mournful wilderness, and countless people were displaced and homeless... How can such a huge contrast not be painful!
Seeing that Leqi had not yet come in at this time, Mu Qingya knew that it must have been ordered before Duanmu Lingyu came in, so she got up and poured a cup of tea and brought it in person.
Duanmu Lingyu has never opened his mouth. Even after taking Mu Qingya's tea, he just took a sip and put it aside, and sat silently!
After a long silence, he finally made a sound, and his voice was indeed hoarse: "Qingya, I regret it!"
Mu Qingya looked up, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't understand why he said so.
"I regret why I didn't notice it earlier, you know? The Huaishui embankment was made by the great royal brother! In order to attract the attention of his father and attract the inside story of the corruption of the officials collected by the second brother, he listened to Hou Fang's advice and secretly sent people to touch and foot under the embankment of the Huaihe River, which was the last barrier to stop the Huai River. A total of 1,ba12 families in the lower reaches of the Huai River were engulfed by the Huai River in an instant, and those who were drummed. The people who came to sue came with hope, but they didn't even see their father's face, so they were flooded. Such an urgent flood, even those who knew the water could not escape... My father sent someone to rescue the disaster, but he didn't expect that the second brother hated the eldest brother and did not move at all. I stood aside and watched. They had no choice but to be washed away..." Duanmu Lingyu said, clenched his teeth, clenched his fist and punched the wall next to him fiercely. Suddenly, a blood imprint was imprinted on the wall!
Mu Qingya walked over and stared at his expression. His mood became heavier and heavier. She took down his hand and found that the back of his hand was covered with wounds. Obviously, it was not the first time he beat the wall like this. She pulled him aside and cleaned his wound with clean water. The clean handkerchief was wrapped and then sat back in his original position. No, don't say a word!
Duanmu Lingyu frowned slightly and looked at Mu Qingya, but found that her eyes were quiet, as if she did not hear his words into her ears. Her heart was a little weak. Originally, she thought that she would say something to comfort herself after dressing herself, but she didn't expect that she didn't respond at all, and her eyes gradually fell down!
Mu Qingya gently pinched her fingertips and slightly raised the corners of her lips: "Why, the seventh prince thought I would comfort you?"
Duanmu Lingyu looked up: "Shouldn't you say something?"
"What? I don't know what to say now. All I know is that it's always easier than to do. Are you complaining here that you can prevent flooding or save one more people? Instead of working hard, it's better to think about dealing with the next difficulties!" Mu Qingya mocked and said, no matter how good it was, it was better to do something practical for the people. She just didn't want to dress him up. He thought he would comfort him?
Danmu Lingyu was stunned, with a slight look on his face, but he heard Mu Qingya continue to say:
"No matter who did this matter, it doesn't matter now. At this time, no matter how much you regret it, it won't make any good! Do you still hope that your guilt can make the Huai River flow back and stop the heavy rain?
Duanmu Lingyu sat back weakly, his eyes were much calmer, and he said feebly for a long time, "What you said is reasonable!"
Seeing that his mood had stabilized, Mu Qingya said again, "It has been raining heavily for seven days. Didn't you notice anything?"
Duanmu Lingyu was shocked: "What?"
"The rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River are intertwined. The rain in the past few days has caused the water of the river to rise significantly. I heard that many rivers have launched floods and drowned many people! And it's too difficult to rescue the disaster on such a rainy day, and the temperature is so high..." Speaking of this, Mu Qingya paused slightly and looked at Duanmu Lingyu's stiff body in an instant, and knew that he had figured it out!
After the disaster, there will be a major epidemic. Now it is summer, and the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is already high, and the drowned people and animal carcasses are too late to deal with. Once the epidemic occurs, the situation is absolutely beyond the imperial court's control! The northwest can cause riots due to drought and lack of food. If the whole south of the Yangtze River becomes popular, then the cold will be dangerous!
"Qingya, what can you do?"
Mu Qingya shook her head and her eyes became cold: "The current situation is not certain, and I haven't come up with any specific and feasible methods, but there is one thing you should know that the seriousness of this matter must let the emperor know that this is no longer something you can handle by yourself. Originally, I wanted to make you secure with the Huaihe Rebellion. Jiangnan, but I didn't expect that God would put on such a big test... If this matter is not handled well, Jiangnan will be ruined!"
Duan Muqing's face looks ugly: "I know... I'll figure it out as soon as possible!"
There has accumulated a lot of water in the yard, and the rain in the sky only aroused the sound of water. The two sat in the room without saying anything. After a long silence, Duanmu Lingyu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the gray sky: "Qingya, what do you think will happen to Yuhan if Jiangnan is really violent this time?"
Hearing the slight uneasiness and melancholy in his tone, Mu Qingya was slightly uncomfortable: "Do your best to know the fate!"
Duanmu Lingyu was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Okay, then Your Highness will also believe in God and do your best to know the fate!" The narrow phoenix's eyes are no longer full of brilliance, but firm coldness. Even the curvature of the resolute lips is a trace of amazing coldness, and the mind is extremely firm: no matter how Jiangnan can be messed! Yuhan can't be messy!
Feeling the change of Duanmu Lingyu's breath, Mu Qingya's eyes fluctuated. This time, Duanmu Lingyu's last bit of indecision was worn out, making him start thinking about problems from the perspective of an emperor. Although the cost is a little higher, if he can become an emperor Wang can only be regarded as worth it... Thinking like this, I don't know why there is a faint loss in her heart. She doesn't want to touch the palace, but Duanmu Lingyu wants to become an emperor. After all, they will only get farther and farther away!
"Qingya, are you all right here?" Firmly determined his thoughts, Duanmu Lingyu relaxed a lot.
"Well, that's good!"
"This time my father asked me to see the situation of Guangdu Temple. The palace he lives in now is too close to the Huaihe River. I think he will probably move here tomorrow!"
"Well, Guangdu Temple is on the top of the mountain, and the terrain is quite high, and there will be no danger for a while, but you'd better tell the emperor that if there is any riot, it is also the easiest place to be trapped to death!" Mu Qingya said.
Duanmu Lingyu nodded: "I will naturally tell my father the situation. In this case, I will go first. You take good care of Lord Mu and take good care of yourself. I have two people by your side. If there is anything, ask them to let me know. Don't let Leqi leave you. I always feel that they are not so tolerant. It's easy to give up!"
"I know!" Mu Qingya nodded slightly with a smile on her face. She didn't find it herself. The smile from the bottom of her heart was like a starlight, and the beauty made people unable to move their eyes!
Danmu Lingyu's eyes were slightly warm, and he only felt that it was extremely worthwhile to see her smile when he went up the mountain: "Then I'll go!"
I saw his figure in a raincoat disappear into the rain, and Mu Qingya fell silent.
Le Qi came over and said, "Miss?"
"You ask someone to prepare for it. I'm afraid the emperor will come back tomorrow. I can't hide the disaster in Jiangnan at my father's place. Find a way to deal with it in advance!"
"Yes!" Leqi was slightly depressed, "Miss, is there nothing wrong with the seventh prince?"
Mu Qingya nodded: "There is nothing for the time being. I don't know in a few days!"
Originally, I thought that Duanmuqing's royal driver would at least wait for tomorrow, but I didn't expect to be shocked by the messy sound in the middle of the night!
"Leqi, what's going on?"
"Miss, it's the emperor's master!" Leqi said.
Mu Qingya was stunned, then frowned, and then felt a little enlightened. Although Guangdu Temple is easy to be besieged, it is indeed the most suitable place to avoid floods at present. What's more, it is very famous here, and there is no place to go to Duanmuqing!
"Leqi, comb my hair, and we'll pick you up!"
Looking at the black blue in Mu Qingya's eyes, Leqi is very distressed. She has not slept well for the past two days, and even if she falls asleep, her eyebrows are also locked. Thinking about it, she has been worried about the affairs of Jiangnan. It's finally been able to rest for a night, but she has to be tossed like this...
Mu Qingya smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
The rain was so heavy that the two of them held umbrellas and walked to the front hall and still wet their clothes. At this time, they couldn't afford to worry so much.
"Miss Mu, are you really here? The emperor said that you would come soon and let me wait here. Go in quickly!" When Gude saw Mu Qingya, his eyes suddenly lit up and quickly greeted him!
Hearing this, Mu Qingya hesitated, but she did not dare to neglect at all and walked into the front hall!
As soon as I entered the temple door to see the scene inside, my pupils suddenly shrank. In the hall, Duan Muqing sat upright on the seat, his face was slightly blue, but his lips were pale. The hands placed next to several cases kept shaking, and the violence rage in his fierce eyes!
