Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

"Stay another half day, and I'll pick you up again after half a day."

"..."

Xiao Jiang Yuchen didn't speak, but silently pulled the man's clothes, numbly and mechanically pulling him away.

The door slowly closed again, and I felt a little suffocated. There was only Xiao Jiang Yuchen in the closed space, and I could even hear his own subtle breathing.

"drop! Fragment reading completed! 』

When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar light, and I actually felt a touch of warmth.

Jiang Yuchen experienced this kind of thing when he was a child, so it's no wonder that he is now afraid of the dark.

It's just... was he also afraid like this during the days when he was blind?

Realizing this, I suddenly felt sorry for him. Looking at the cloak placed beside him, he sighed.

We are almost reaching Yuanqu City, and there are more and more refugees on the road. Our group of carriages is particularly eye-catching.

I lowered the car curtain and couldn't bear to look any further, sighing that I was still a little late.

When we arrived at the temporary residence, the person in charge of Yuanqu City had been waiting for us for a long time. After I got out of the car, I met Chi Wan's eyes, and there was a trace of anger on his face.

I asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Chi Wanshen lowered her voice and said, "Secret message, an assassin broke into the palace."

"Is your Majesty okay?"

Chi Wanshen nodded: "The Holy One is fine, the assassin doesn't seem to be rushing towards the Holy One."

After saying that, Chi Wanshen looked at me inexplicably.

Me: "?" Why are you still playing riddles?

Jiang Yuchen passed by, glanced at us, and walked aside expressionlessly.

Chi Wanshen: "Nothing, girl, please pack your things first."

Lord Yuanqucheng came over with a smile and bowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Princess, and the Imperial Master, the arrival has really made Yuanqucheng flourish. If the people of Yuanqucheng knew that all of you have worked tirelessly to If you come here, you will definitely be very moved."

Song Shiyi was impatient and didn't like to hear these words: "Sir, please don't say more, let's take care of things first."

"Yes, yes, many places in Yuanqu City can no longer be inhabited, so I can only force you nobles to live in the humble residence of Xiaguan."

Chi Wanshen stopped what he was saying: "I came here to deal with the flood disaster. I didn't listen to Master Zhou's words. If you don't lead the way, be careful that you can never speak with this mouth again."

Master Zhou was so frightened that he led us in directly.

The three of them have separate small courtyards. When I arrived, Mr. Zhou was a little embarrassed. He probably didn't recognize who I was.

"It would be nice if she stayed with me."

Jiang Yuchen took me away from the side, but Mr. Zhou still stopped where he was, stunned.

I looked at Jiang Yuchen's indifferent expression and said with a smile, "Master Imperial Master, do you want to live in the same room with me?"

Jiang Yuchen's expression did not change: "There are east and west wings in the small courtyard, so there is no need to wrong you and me."

I just realized that there are two rooms in a small courtyard: "..."

I really don't understand the style.

"but……"

Ok?

"It's okay if you want to live with me."

"!"

I confirmed again and again that the person in front of me was indeed Jiang Yuchen.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Yuchen changed the subject on his own: "Don't go out alone. If you want to explore the terrain, in addition to bringing your cloak and hat, you also need to take me with you."

Jiang Yuchen's hand holding my wrist tightened unconsciously, and my heart beat faster. I let out a muffled "hmm", knowing that I need to pay attention at this moment.

Whenever there is chaos, there are more thieves than usual, which is why Chi Wanshen and the others brought so many soldiers this time.

In the evening, my servant informed me that business was being discussed in the front hall, and the prince and others called me over.

When I arrived in the front hall, everyone seemed to be waiting for my arrival.

Chi Wanshen: "Master Zhou, this is Ms. Chen Anping Chen, who will follow up on the repair of the dam."

I understood Chi Wanshen's intention, and before Master Zhou could speak, I smiled and bowed to him: "Master Zhou, you are polite here."

Mr. Zhou still wanted to find fault in the egg: "Your Majesty, this girl may not be able to take on a big responsibility..."

Jiang Yuchen: "Miss Chen is from the Imperial Preceptor's Office. Are you questioning the ability of the Imperial Preceptor's Office?"

Hearing Jiang Yuchen's words of defense, I straightened my back. It felt good to have someone behind me.

Mr. Zhou's face was full of horror: "I dare not..."

Chi Wanshen sneered: "I just informed Mr. Zhou about this matter, and did not ask Mr. Zhou for his opinion."

Mr. Zhou said with cold sweat on his head: "Yes, Miss Chen, please come with me. I will tell you about the dam."

I looked at Chi Wanshen, he nodded, and Mr. Zhou and I left.

Chi Wanshen stopped Jiang Yuchen who wanted to follow him, but he was not included in the plan.

Looking at Mr. Zhou in front of me, I narrowed my eyes slightly, not knowing how big an appetite he had that he could swallow all the money sent to him.

When I was about to leave Beiyin Capital a few days ago, I received a note. This inexplicably familiar way of sending messages made me recognize it as Chi Wanshen at a glance. I just didn't expect that his way of conspiring with others remained unchanged.

I took the cloak and curtain hat from Yunze, got on the carriage, and went with Mr. Zhou to the Yuanqu River in Yuanqu City.

The riverside has long been eroded by the flood, and there seems to be a faint shadow of houses and farmland.

"Is this downstream?"

Master Zhou said yes.

"Then let's walk up."

Mr. Zhou said: "Girl, won't you come down and take a look?"

I looked at him condescendingly on the carriage and said, "I said, keep walking up."

He didn't expect my tough attitude, so he had no choice but to continue walking up with a group of people.

You can see the shadow of a dam being built, but unfortunately, only a few people are working on it.

I frowned, how long will it take for these people to cultivate?

Seeing the location, I got out of the car.

There were no people around, except for the few craftsmen who were building the dam.

I asked my servant to call me.

Mr. Zhou asked: "Young lady, you want to ask about the family background of these people? The lower officials have recorded it, and you can see it."

He brought a pile of paper, but I didn't take it: "No need, adults can just take it."

The craftsman who arrived saluted Mr. Zhou and then looked at me, his eyes dimming with hope.

I opened the curtain and found that they were already extremely thin.

I frowned and asked, "Master Zhou, don't you feed the craftsmen?"

Mr. Zhou said anxiously: "How dare you be a lower official? It's just that these people all have wives and children. They just want to bring food back to an old family, so they naturally have less to eat. These people are doing big things, and it's natural for them to be lower officials." Don’t dare to treat me badly.”

Those people didn't dare to speak.

I asked again: "At what stage is the dam construction progressing?"

Mr. Zhou: "It's almost finished..."

"I didn't ask Mr. Zhou." I stopped him from talking with my eyes, and then looked at the craftsmen, "You guys tell me."

They hesitated and did not dare to speak.

I had already expected this, but I was still holding my breath: "Come here, tell the remaining craftsmen not to work anymore, issue the monthly routines for this month, and just send them home. The dam will be put on hold for now, and the prince will take care of it." Let people start the work.”

Several craftsmen seemed to have heard some great good news, and they quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying "Good luck to you, noble man."

Mr. Zhou's face was green and white. I ignored him and prepared to get in the car.

The few soldiers I brought have already started handling things according to my instructions.

Mr. Zhou stopped me and said, "Girl, I still have to go and take a look at the front."

"The front?"

Mr. Zhou: "Yes, the front is the most turbulent part of the original Qujiang River. The rapids of water and rocks are very spectacular. If the dam is built in the future, the scenery here will never be seen again."

I raised my eyebrows, interested.

"Girl, the scenery along the way is more beautiful. Why don't we walk there? It's not far away."

I smiled and said, "Then Mr. Zhou will lead the way."
