Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C1009 A natural disaster or a human disaster

“Yes.”

Yan Yuan patted the back of Liu Ruo Qing’s hand to comfort him, but the coldness in her eyes did not disappear.

At this time, at the entrance of the Yizhou, a horse carriage hurriedly drove in from outside the city gate, heading towards the direction of the King Carefree Residence.

King Carefree Palace —

The horse carriage stopped outside the King Carefree Mansion, and from inside, the first to exit was a man around fifty years old, with a tall and imposing figure. He had strong facial features and in between his brows, there was a heroic aura that looked down on the world.

A pair of eyes unique to the Yan family. They were clear and wise, yet seemed to be able to see through everything. They were incomparably sharp.

This man was the Second Imperial Uncle, King Carefree Yan Xie.

After he got off the carriage, a three or four-year-old rogue child jumped out from the carriage. He called out mischievously to Yan Xie, “Grandfather.”

“Slow down, Young Sparrow.”

A gentle female voice came from the carriage and then a beautiful woman came down. She carefully helped the woman down and was very careful with her words.

“Your highness, wangfei, little gongzi is back.”

The guard hurriedly ran into the house to report the news. Soon, a young couple came out with a face full of joy.

“Father, Mother.”

The young couple bowed to the woman next to her and then bent down to pick up their four-year-old son. “Yao is out on a trip with her grandparents. Are you naughty enough to make your grandparents angry?”

“Not at all, Yao’er is so obedient. If daddy doesn’t believe you, you can ask grandpa and grandma.”

The child’s tender voice carried a serious tone, causing everyone present to be unable to restrain their laughter.

After entering the residence, the King Carefree’s Concubine was a little tired from his journey, so he took a bath and rested.

Yan Xie went to the study room, and then the butler walked in. “Your Highness.”

“How’s the progress on disaster relief?”

“The emperor’s messenger from the imperial court arrived ten days ago. At that time, the prince was not in the city, so the calamity was quite severe. From the looks of it, Zhixian meant to let the victims perish on their own.”

Hearing that, Yan Xie let out a cold laugh, “It’s not like Zhu Yi Dou can not do this kind of thing.”

Then, he paused and asked, “When This King entered the city, there weren’t many victims outside. It seems like the situation outside the city has stabilized?”

Although he was asking the butler, his eyes were filled with certainty.

The butler nodded his head and said: “It’s that Messenger. He used some sort of method to make Zhixian Zhu take out all the food that he had coveted earlier and use it to help the victims. Only then did Yizhou’s situation stabilize.”

“Oh?”

When Yan Xie heard this, he raised his eyebrows in appreciation. “This waiter is quite capable. Do you know who he is?”

“This old servant didn’t ask in detail, he only knows that it’s a young master.”

“Young master?”

A light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something. A moment later, he heard him say, “Since that waiter has the ability to handle this matter, then we don’t need to care about it anymore.”

The steward knew that his master had always been one who did not care about politics. Other than taking his wife out for sightseeing, he did not care about anything else. Therefore, when the steward heard him, he was not surprised.

“Yes.”

After agreeing, the butler left.

After the butler left, Yan Xie walked over to the bookshelf and took out one of the books. He began to read it quietly with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

On the other hand, on the third day after leaving the Jindu, the shadow guard beside Yan Xiao could not help but walk to his side and say in a low voice, “My prince, then Miss Shen has already followed us for three days. Do you need this subordinate to chase her back?”

These shadow guards were specifically responsible for Yan Xiao’s safety, so even though they knew that Miss Shen had been secretly following them since they left the city, they pretended that they did not know as long as the Prince did not say anything.

Yan Xiao passed the horse to the shadow guard beside him, and said: “You guys go into the city and find an inn to stay.”

“Yes.”

After the few shadow guards left, Yan Xiao still stood at his original position. After a long while, he sighed, “Still not coming out?”

The body of the person hiding in the shadows stiffened. He knew that he might have been discovered long ago, so he could only step forward to Yan Xiao from the shadows and call out to him in a low voice, “Pavilion Master.”

She raised her eyes and quietly sized up Yan Xiao’s expression, she did not know if Yan Xiao was angry or not.

She was truly unable to discern Yan Xiao’s current expression.

Seeing Yan Xiao looking at her in silence for a long time, Shen Qin lowered his head in guilt, not daring to look at him again.

Just when she thought that Yan Xiao would scold her later, she heard Yan Xiao’s voice that carried a trace of helplessness, “Didn’t I tell you not to follow?”

Shen Qin lowered her head, pursed her lips, and did not say a word.

“You are not willing to go back to the capital even if I ask you to?”

Yan Xiao’s voice sounded again. Not long after he left the capital, he knew that she was right behind him. However, he did not stop her.

On one hand, he knew that even if he drove her back, she would still go to Yizhou alone. This entire journey was extremely dangerous, so how could he be at ease leaving her alone.

Now, the resolution in her eyes made him even more clear, that if he didn’t allow her to go to Yizhou with him, she wouldn’t let him go.

After Shen Qin nodded strongly and answered his question, he had no choice but to agree, “Let’s go.”

Seeing that Yan Xiao had agreed, Shen Qin was overjoyed: “Thank you, Pavilion Master.”

As for the Yizhou, after the disaster had gradually stabilized, Yan Yuan had begun to secretly investigate the clues regarding the bag of “Eternal Rest” that Ye Man had lost that year.

On this day, Yan Yuan was still living in the courthouse, flipping through the information that the dark guard had gathered about the flood.

Seeing him like that, Liu Ruo Qing walked over to his side, took a look at the map he laid out for him regarding the Yizhou, and after looking at it a few times, he also realized that something was amiss.

“That’s not right. According to the map, no matter how heavy the rain or how many dams were destroyed, the flood would not come here.”

“According to the blueprints, the west is high and the east is low, while the affected area is just to the west, while the river is in the east. According to the terrain, unless someone poured water in, it would be impossible.”

Yan Yuan’s face darkened, he nodded: “You can see that too.”

His fingertips tapped on the table thoughtfully, and then he sneered, “This Yizhou is getting more and more complicated.”
