The alluring Phoenix Dance of the World 46 Prince has lost the heart of an emperor
This once-in-a-century flood caused the five countries to fall into a predicament. The death toll was as high as tens of thousands, and the people were displaced. Hungry and sleepless, he could see disaster victims everywhere he went.
The rain did not stop for five days, and the emperors of the various countries were anxious. The ministers all cowered and looked at the disaster victims as if they were invisible.
Mo Shangqiu was trapped in the inn and was extremely anxious. It was impossible to go to the Heavenly Nuo Realm now. She was worried about Ye Jian's project. She didn't know how much damage the heavy rain had caused them.
Mo Shangqiu paced back and forth anxiously in the room, causing Mu Chuxue to be dazzled. He still refused to stop. Little Mo and Shang Qiu couldn't walk out of the inn without seeing the rain. She could only sit in her room and worry.
Xuanlin Country's old emperor dragged his sickly body and sat on the dragon throne. It was already the fifth day and he had not taken the initiative to step forward to resolve the flood.
" Cough, cough." The old emperor couldn't help but cough. With this disaster, the old emperor's dragon body was also feeling unwell. His illness was getting more and more serious. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before Xuan Lin Country changed its master.
"Emperor, take care of your body.”The ministers knelt down and persuaded the old emperor to take care of his dragon body.
The old Emperor's deep eyes revealed fatigue. He swept his gaze across the kneeling officials and did not have any intention of letting them get up. The father-in-law who served the old emperor looked at the old emperor with a worried expression, deeply afraid that the old emperor would be too agitated and fall ill.
"Today is the fifth day. Have you thought of a way to deal with the disaster victims outside the city?”Although the old Emperor was sick, his tone did not lose the majesty of an emperor.
The ministers were trembling in fear and did not dare to speak. His head was almost touching the ground. The old Emperor looked at these officials in disappointment. He swept his gaze over the Crown Prince kneeling in front of him, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Does the Crown Prince have a solution?" The old Emperor sat up straight, waiting for the Crown Prince to answer his question. That gaze contained too much expectation, but when he thought of how the Crown Prince only cared about playing and was undisciplined, that hint of expectation was replaced with disappointment.
The Crown Prince's figure stiffened, his palms sweating profusely. He was thinking about how to answer his father's words, but after thinking for a long time, the Crown Prince did not make a sound. The ministers also held their breaths, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"As the crown prince of a country, he only knows how to play all day long. When it comes to a major disaster, he can't help at all. It's simply a disgrace to the royal family." The old Emperor was so angry that he cursed and scolded the Crown Prince in front of all the civil and military officials. He did not leave a trace of face.
" Imperial Father, please calm down. Your son!" The Crown Prince was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the Emperor. A thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead. He knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do.
"Hmph, calm down. How do you want me to calm down? What's the use of me raising you? The people are suffering, but you are not willing to do anything.”The old Emperor stood up and stared sharply at the officials in the court.
The officials looked at each other, cold sweat dripping down their backs. He didn't dare to raise his head to try to figure out the Holy Decree.
"Cough cough ~" Due to his excitement, the old Emperor started coughing violently again. He reached out to cover his heart. It seemed that he was really sick.
Beside the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince sighed and took a step forward. "Imperial Father, take care of your body. Your son is willing to contribute to this flood. I'll share my father's worries!"
There was finally a change in the old Emperor's eyes, and the gaze he used to look at the Fifth Prince was a little more cordial than usual. "Since my son has the heart, I'll hand him over to you. You're in charge of everything. Come and pass on my decree. All the local officials in the southern part of the city opened their warehouses to release food. They had to cooperate with the Fifth Prince to settle the refugees this time. In addition, the civil and military officials in the court would each take out two-thirds of the food in their residences after returning to their residences to contribute to this disaster.”
Since the civil and military officials were unwilling to step forward, then don't blame him for not giving them a way out. With the Emperor's order, the officials in the court could no longer hold it in and broke out in cold sweat. Two-thirds of the grain. After this suppression, even the wealthy officials would not have much grain left.
The ministers were unwilling, but they could not disobey the imperial edict. When the court retreated, they were all like frosted eggplants.
Strangely enough, the heavy rain finally stopped near noon. There seemed to be a faint rainbow hanging in the sky, as if it was a foil to the Fifth Prince's actions and the blessing of the people.
Mo Shangqiu saw that the heavy rain had finally stopped. After lunch, she brought Mu Chuxue back to the capital of Lanqi Nation. Even though it took them seven or eight days to rush to the capital of Lanqi Nation, they settled Mu Chuxue in a drunken dream and told the brothel madame to take good care of Mu Chuxue.
Mo Shangqiu didn't even have time to rest as she headed straight for the crescent moon spring. After exiting the city gates, Mo Shangqiu's speed was twice as fast as usual. People only saw a white shadow flash past in front of them. They wanted to catch that figure, but they could no longer see a trace of an afterimage.
At the same time, the Fifth Prince led a group of men and horses to the south of the city with the imperial edict. The Fifth Prince had also deliberately left a group of people in the capital, waiting for the officials to take out their own food, and then his people would detain them to the south of the city.
The Fifth Prince left in a hurry. He had rushed ahead to receive the food from the local officials. In order to save the victims in time, he had secretly ordered people to go to the south of the city and set up a porridge distribution center outside the city. They were waiting for his order to start giving out the porridge.
Through this, the Fifth Prince could be considered to have truly risen to prominence and entered his Imperial Father's heart. From then on, the officials began to be dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. Even the Emperor was disappointed with the Crown Prince's actions. Even if he had the Empress backing him up, it could not cover up that he did not have the way to govern the country. He did not have the bearing and dignity of a royal family. He did not have the demeanor of an emperor, nor could he become a wise ruler in the hearts of the people. To make decisions for the people of the world
When Mo Shangqiu arrived at the Crescent Moon Spring, Ye Jian was instructing the servants to clean up the mess. The heavy rain had destroyed all the half-built pavilions, leaving only the simple houses and the row of small houses that had been built at the beginning.
Half of the buildings were made of wood, and all of them were submerged in water. They could no longer be used, so the craftsmen had no choice but to tear them down and start all over again.
"Senior Brother." Mo Shangqiu interrupted Ye Jian. Ye Jian turned around and looked at Mo Shangqiu with a bitter smile.
Junior Sister, why are you back?" Ye Jian looked at Mo Shangqiu, who had suddenly appeared, and his heart finally felt a trace of warmth. Mo Shangqiu had handed this place to him, but he had not expected that a heavy rain would destroy all his hard work.
Mo Shangqiu walked in front of Ye Jian and patted his shoulder. She took the lead and entered the room that she used to stay in. The room was still reserved for Mo Shangqiu. It was kept the same as when she lived there, and the servants cleaned it every day.
The two of them sat in the room, their eyes revealing helplessness. No matter how hard they tried, the heavens would beat them back to their original state with a heavy rain.
"Senior Brother, everything will pass." Mo Shangqiu consoled Ye Jian. Regarding this matter, they could only brace themselves and start over. Building a pavilion was not something that could be done in a day or two. It would only take a few more days.
