Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

As soon as Gu Yanshu finished speaking, Qin Lu retorted without thinking:

"What makes sense? It's just nonsense!"

"Is it?"

Gu Yanshu raised his brows lightly, and looked at his little deer playfully:

"Then how do I remember that the prince didn't say that half a month ago?"

Qin Lu, who was still a little angry at first, couldn't care less about being angry now, and hastily dropped the letter in his hand, and smiled softly with his family:

"Didn't I already know I was wrong?"

But Gu Yanshu, who made up his mind to let Qin Lu "grow a memory", is not so easy to coax.

After Qin Lu had a lot of good words, Gu Yanshu's expression eased a little.

But he didn't forget to ask the previous sentence with a warning:

"Will the prince still say that in the future?"

"Stop! Never again!"

Qin Lu shook his head quickly when he heard the words.

Ruan Ruan, who has always hated turning over old accounts in his family, is merciless in this matter.

Such a mistake once is already the limit, how could there be a second time?

Gu Yanshu is not an unreasonable person. Seeing that his family Xiaolu has indeed realized the seriousness of the problem, and is indeed sincerely repentant, in the end he only lightly warned Qin Lu and put the matter down.

Although he said that he forgave Qin Lu's gaffe at the beginning, but thinking of the depression at the time, Gu Yanshu still didn't let Qin Lu do anything wrong.

Once he saw that Qin Lu was trying to make small moves, Gu Yanshu would inevitably use the word "child" as an excuse.

However, Gu Yanshu, who is well versed in the principle of looseness and relaxation, still did not forget to give him an accurate word when he rejected Qin Lu:

When he returns to Beijing, he will completely turn this matter over.

As for why he set the time after returning to Beijing, the reason was that he left Beijing in a hurry this time. Gu Yanshu's eyes were all about the safety of his own deer, and he didn't have time to bring some insignificant items.

For example, Yaoyu.

Although Imperial Physician Zhou, who prepared the medicine jade, was also in the accompanying team this time, Gu Yanshu felt a little embarrassed when he thought of Imperial Physician Zhou's temper.

After all, at the beginning of spring, the Zhou imperial physician would tell him overtly and secretly that he needed to exercise restraint because of his young age, but today, because of Qin Lu's recovery from a serious illness, he would tell him to stop messing around.

Of course, the most important thing is that this mansion in Yizhou is no better than Prince Li's mansion, and there are no secrets at all.

Gu Yanshu can guarantee that if he asks Zhou Taiyi doctor for medicine jade today, this matter will be spread to the ears of those who accompanied him this time tomorrow.

Although Gu Yanshu has always been magnanimous, he thought he couldn't afford to lose this person.

Poor His Royal Highness Li Wang, who didn't know that his own king had so many worries in his heart, he just thought it was his princess who was still angry at his original gaffe.

Under the dissatisfaction of desire, Qin Lu inevitably felt a little depressed.

Although this matter was caused by Gu Yanshu's refusal, the essence of human beings is double standards. Naturally, it is impossible for Qin Lu to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart on his own princess.

In the end, it was Mei Yanxi who came along with her that had a bad luck.

Originally, Qin Lu was not a person who would anger innocent people for no reason, but whoever made Mei Yanxi sway in front of Qin Lu made him think of the letter his princess wrote to him.

Especially the last sentence "He also said that he would introduce me to some outstanding and good-looking men", which can be described as every word and every word, stirring up Qin Lu's extremely sensitive nerves at the moment.

Frustrated, Qin Lu directly gave Mei Yanxi a lot of trouble on the grounds of "training" and "competition".

Poor Mei Yanxi, she was rejected by Li Guihua here, thinking of coming to the princess to ask if there is any way to persuade Li Guihua to follow her.

Who knew that before meeting the concubine, the prince would take care of her.

The point is, Mei Yanxi still doesn't know why Qin Lu got angry at her for no reason.

"The prince has taken the wrong medicine these days?"

Mei Yanxi, who was reclining on the soft bed, rubbing her wounds, complained in a low voice to Xing Ren who was sitting not far away.

Qin Lu's kung fu was honed on the battlefield, and it was extremely tricky to teach others a lesson.

Now Mei Yanxi's whole body is suffering everywhere, but no wound can be seen anywhere.

As for Mei Yanxi's relatively delicate skin, even a little bruise could not be seen.

This made Mei Yanxi not know how to do it even if she wanted to file a complaint. In the end, couldn't she just complain to her colleagues?

Different from Mei Yanxi's taboos, Zhi Ge and Xing Ren dare not talk about their princes behind their backs.

Therefore, for what Mei Yanxi said at this moment, they just listened to it, and did not follow it.

Mei Yanxi didn't care about it, she just continued to complain to herself:

"It's fine once or twice this time, isn't it a bit too much for three or four times?"

"My mother has been busy these days to help him investigate, but she didn't have time to say a bad word!"

"I don't know, I thought he was deliberately finding fault with his desire and dissatisfaction!"

The last sentence, Mei Yanxi just said it casually.

After all, she also personally saw the intimacy between Qin Lu and Gu Yanshu.

Let alone Yunying's unmarried girl, even an old man like Yu Liren who is over half a century old looks a little red in the face.

The relationship between two people is so good, how can it be possible to be dissatisfied with desire?

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Mei Yanxi noticed that Xingren's expression was unnatural for a moment.

After all, it is a colleague who used to get along day and night, Mei Yanxi knows Xing Ren no less than Zhi Ge.

Immediately, he realized something was wrong, looked at Xingren suspiciously, and exclaimed in disbelief:

"No way?"

"Cough...the imperial doctor said a few days ago that the prince has recovered, but in the past two days, the two highnesses have not had sex."

Now that it has been seen, Xingren didn't hide it, and directly gave Mei Yanxi the answer.

Although the words were euphemistic, the meaning was very obvious. After finishing speaking, Xingren seemed to have thought of something, and added another sentence:

"Two days ago, the prince took away the last letter from the princess in a hurry."

Once upon a time, the [-]-mile rush between Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu was a big topic after dinner in Kyoto.

Before Gu Yanshu was in Yizhou, the wind direction in the middle of the capital had even reached the point where Gu Yanshu stepped out of the post station, and the news could spread throughout the entire capital.

Although Mei Yanxi doesn't like gossip, she likes to go to the tavern for a few drinks, and the Ten Days Drunken House is a place she often goes to. These things will inevitably catch her ears when she is drinking.

Therefore, Mei Yanxi was very sure that Princess Li's last letter was urgently sent out on the second day after meeting her for the first time.

Since Mei Yanxi was able to climb to the same position as Zhi Ge Xingren in just two years, she is naturally not an idiot.

In this way, after contacting before and after, Mei Yanxi knew that the nonsense he said in front of Princess Li was probably written into the letter by Princess Li.

How terrifying this man who is dissatisfied with desires, Mei Yanxi has long experienced from her father.

Then I thought of the things I used to do in front of Princess Li, "If your highness is not blind someday, just come to Yan Xi, Yan Xi will introduce some handsome men to your highness! Guaranteed to satisfy your highness!" There are only four words left in Mei Yanxi's mind:

God will kill me!

Afterwards, Mei Yanxi hardly thought about it, and made a bold decision:

Take advantage of this opportunity and just run away!

Immediately, Mei Yanxi couldn't care about anything else, not even her own discomfort, she jumped up from the soft couch and started to pack her luggage.

While tidying up, he did not forget to explain to Xingren:

"Now that the prince has recovered, it is useless for me to stay in Yizhou. Why don't I just say goodbye and see you in the future!"

This... I'm afraid it's too late, right?

Xingren opened his mouth, wanting to remind Mei Yanxi that according to the prince's temperament, if he really wanted to find fault, he would definitely block her way out.

But seeing Mei Yanxi's fiery actions at this moment, Xingren finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.

What happened next was just as Xing Ren had expected.

Here Mei Yanxi didn't even have time to pack up the salute, someone came to spread the word over there, saying that the prince asked Mei Yanxi to go there.

"Just say I'm not free now! Or tell the prince that I'm not here!"

Mei Yanxi replied without raising her head, and the movement of tidying up and saluting has sped up a lot.

"This... the prince said that there are people guarding the front and back of the mansion, so that Miss Mei will not make unnecessary struggles."

The person who came down to report didn't even think about it, so he conveyed Qin Lu's call just now. Obviously, Qin Lu had already anticipated Mei Yanxi's desire to run away.

Mei Yanxi also understood Qin Lu's temperament, knowing that since he said so, there must be someone guarding the house.

Dang even stopped what he was doing, and looked at the person who came to complain sadly:

"Then I won't go, okay?"

"I'm afraid not, because the prince also said that if Miss Mei doesn't want to go, he will invite her in person."

The man shook his head at Mei Yanxi without thinking, and gave her a sympathetic look by the way.

I don't know how Miss Mei annoyed the prince and let him be so cruel.

Mei Yanxi finally followed that person to the school grounds.

After all, compared to asking Qin Lu to invite him in person, it would be easier to go by himself.

Originally on the way here, Mei Yanxi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a good talk with the prince. At the beginning, she was just talking nonsense, so that the prince should not take it to heart.

Who knew that Qin Lu didn't give her a chance to speak at all. As soon as her front foot arrived, Qin Lu moved her hands with her back foot.

This time, the result of Qin Lu's "guidance" to Mei Yanxi was no different from the previous few days.

Although in the process of teaching, Qin Lu did not forget to teach Mei Yanxi some rare skills, and Mei Yanxi also benefited a lot from it.

But during the period, Qin Lu also showed no mercy. When it was over, Mei Yanxi couldn't even stand up, so she could only let her brothers carry her back.

Unlike Mei Yanxi, Qin Lu was refreshed when he left the school grounds, and even the sullenness in his heart was relieved a lot.

After making troubles for Mei Yanxi, Qin Lu went straight to his princess's house, continuing his daily life these days:

Perform well in front of the princess, and strive for an early release after serving his sentence.

"came back?"

As soon as Qin Lu entered the door, Gu Yanshu raised his head when he heard the noise, and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of the person who entered the door. Gu Yanshu rarely persuaded him:

"My lord is almost fine. After all, it's a girl's house. What are you doing with such a ruthless hand?"

"Does the princess know?"

Qin Lu, who originally wanted to behave well with Gu Yanshu, never thought that his little actions these days would be noticed by his own princess.

Gu Yanshu glanced at Qin Lu angrily:

"My lord has made such a big commotion, it's hard for me not to know."

On the first day Qin Lu went to find Mei Yanxi's fault, Gu Yanshu had already received the news.

"Then why did the princess say it today?"

A hint of suspicion inevitably appeared on Qin Lu's face. If he remembered correctly, the relationship between his concubine and Mei Yanxi seemed to be pretty good?

Gu Yanshu only slightly sighed:

"Misfortune comes out of your mouth. Miss Mei doesn't care about the consequences when she speaks, so it's time to take care of it."

Not to mention anything else, just say that when he and Mei Yanxi met for the first time, the phone call that Mei Yanxi spoke to him was a bit inappropriate.

Whether the outsiders' rumors are rumors or not, Mei Yanxi has not personally verified the relationship between him and Qin Lu and his wife.

In case he and Qin Lu were only harmonious on the surface, Mei Yanxi's phone call back then was enough for people to catch Qin Lu.

Even if you don't talk about this, just talk about Mei Yanxi's mouth, it is indeed not something ordinary people can bear.

If you meet someone with a good temper and careful heart, it's okay, you can see through Mei Yanxi's sharp mouth and bean curd heart to some extent.

But if you meet someone with the same grumpy temper, after these few words, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts.

Gu Yanshu didn't know that Mei Yanxi held a pivotal position in Qin Lu's army at the beginning, so he heard some words.

Later, when I found out, I felt that Mei Yanxi's temperament was indeed a little out of date.

But Gu Yanshu has always respected Qin Lu's people on weekdays, especially after knowing that Mei Yanxi, like Zhi Ge Xingren, is also Qin Lu's right-hand man, it is even more difficult to teach him a lesson without authorization.

Originally, Gu Yanshu was still thinking about finding an opportunity to talk to his Xiaolu, but now that he has this opportunity, Gu Yanshu is naturally happy to see it come true.

But after all, he is a capable person under his command, and he didn't make any major mistakes of principle. Give him some lessons and let him know that he will just forgive others in the future.

I have been holding on to it tightly, but I am suspected of going too far.

Qin Lu didn't expect to hear these words from Gu Yanshu's mouth, so he smiled first:

"Wangfei and this king are thinking of going together."

That's right, not only Gu Yanshu, but Qin Lu and General Mei also felt that Mei Yanxi's mouth should be taken care of.

However, Qin Lu was worried about the previous kindness, and even though Mei Yanxi spoke harshly, she still had a sense of propriety, but she never found a chance.

This time, it is not so much to vent anger because of dissatisfaction with desire, it is better to say that it is going along with the current.

After finishing speaking, Qin Lu did not forget to add another sentence:

"Princess, don't worry, I know everything in my heart."

Even if Gu Yanshu didn't persuade him today, Qin Lu knew that the lessons he had taught in the past few days were almost the same.

Seeing that Qin Lu understood clearly, Gu Yanshu no longer entangled Qin Lu in the matter of Mei Yanxi, and turned around and talked to Qin Lu about another matter:

"The magistrate of Yizhou just sent someone to send a letter, saying that there should be a heavy rain tomorrow, and asked if the prince will go to the embankment to have a look?"

After the summer rainstorm, comes the high tide.

It has been raining heavily in Yizhou for several days, not to mention other places, even the lower part of the courtyard where Gu Yanshu lives now has accumulated water.

According to the speculation of the people in Yizhou, the torrential rain tomorrow may be more rapid than the previous few days.

This kind of time is often the time when the test of the dam is the most stringent. In the usual weather, the magistrate of Yizhou always has to go to the dyke to take a look around, so that he can rest assured.

This year's dam was built by Prince Li's Mansion. Qin Lu himself is still in Yizhou and hasn't left yet, so he should come to ask about his feelings and reason.

Hearing this, Qin Lu's expression turned serious, and he gave the answer without thinking:

"Go! Of course!"

"At that time, I will go with the prince, and I will ask Yu Liren to prepare some ginger candy and ginger tea in case of emergencies..."

Gu Yanshu was not surprised by Qin Lu's answer, so he continued without thinking.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw the disapproving gaze of his own deer:

"It's raining and it's cold, the princess is not in good health, why don't you go?"

Although he disagreed, Qin Lu did not deny Gu Yanshu's request outright, but used a discussing tone.

"We still have to go, my lord, don't forget that this embankment is not only the first major project that my lord has presided over after returning from the battlefield, the cement used in it is also a formula provided by me. Go see."

Gu Yanshu gave the answer without even thinking about it. Seeing what Qin Lu wanted to say, he quickly added two sentences:

"And my health is much better now than before. My lord forgot, I was taught by my lord himself. Does my lord have no confidence in myself?"

When they first got married, Gu Yanshu's health was indeed not very good.

Often the temperature difference between morning and evening is larger, so you need to pay special attention not to catch a cold.

But after more than half a year of training, although Gu Yanshu is not as good as Qin Lu, he is stronger than ordinary people.

Qin Lu also knew this, after all, no one knew the changes in Gu Yanshu better than him.

But just like parents can never let go of their children, in Qin Lu's eyes, his princess has always looked weak and needs to be taken care of.

Seeing Gu Yanshu's insistence now, Qin Lu could only nod in agreement in the end, but he did not forget to make a request:

"Before I go, let Yu Liren prescribe a medicine to prevent it. After I go, I am not allowed to leave my sight. After I come back, I have to take a bath and drink ginger soup as soon as possible."

Qin Lu's demands were not too much, Gu Yanshu agreed directly, but at the same time he did not forget to mutter in a low voice:

"Understood, old lady!"

"This king is an old lady, what are you?"

Qin Lu was almost laughed at by this heartless little white-eyed wolf, and raised his hand to pinch the tip of the little white-eyed wolf's nose:

"Back then, there was someone who could chatter better than me."

Qin Lu was talking about Gu Yanshu's performance when he packed his luggage when he left Beijing a few months ago.

Gu Yanshu obviously understood what Qin Lu meant:

Everyone is an old lady, let alone the eldest brother.

Dang even didn't know what to say, he just raised his eyes to look at Xiao Lu standing in front of him, and finally the two couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The magistrate of Yizhou has worked in Yizhou for nearly ten years. Every summer flood season is the most stressful time for the magistrate of Yizhou. He naturally summed up his set of weather forecasting methods.

Although it is not as good as the weather forecast of later generations, the accuracy rate is also not low.

It was just dawn on the second day when Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu were woken up by the sound of rainstorm outside the window.

As Yizhou Zhizhou said, today's torrential rain is more violent than the previous few days.

Gu Yanshu could even see the unhealthy young saplings outside the window, staggered by the heavy rain, as if they would be discounted in the next moment.

Now that he had woken up, Gu Yanshu didn't think about going back to sleep, he lingered on the bed for a while, and after returning to his senses, Gu Yanshu got up.

As soon as he opened the door after getting dressed, he saw Xingren raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.

"Lord Feng just sent someone to pass on the message that today's rain is a little bit heavier than they predicted. He is a little worried. He will take a step ahead and won't wait for the prince and princess."

Before Gu Yanshu could ask, Xingren spoke first:

"The prince has also got up, let the younger one come and inform the princess, saying that she will leave after the princess has eaten her breakfast."

As soon as Gu Yanshu heard these words, he knew that the situation might be more urgent than he imagined, so he walked towards the dining room without delay.

After finishing breakfast as quickly as possible, Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu went out together.

Along the way, Qin Lu and Gu Yanshu watched the torrential rain outside the carriage with serious expressions, and neither of them spoke.

Not to mention Qin Lu, even Gu Yanshu had never seen such a rainstorm before the end of the world.

Although it was frequent after the end of the world, the weather at that time could no longer be judged by common sense.

The weather at that time, in addition to the heavy rain, even the high temperature in summer and the blizzard in winter, were more violent than those in the last days.

Looking at the shops on the side of the street, the banners that had been beaten up and down by the heavy rain, and the accumulated water on the ground that could cover the insteps of adults in just a short time.

Even Gu Yanshu felt a little uncertain at the moment:

I don't know if the dam built by Xiaolu can withstand such a test?

From Qin Lu's serious expression and frowning, it can be seen that he also has the same thought at the moment.

After a while, Gu Yanshu and his party arrived at the nearest embankment to their residence.

It was Tongtan County where the accident happened for the first time.

Tongtan County, which hardly saw high tides in previous years, also ushered in a rare high tide this time.

The waves rushed towards the newly built embankment aggressively, as if trying to break free from the control of the embankment, and hit the farmland not far away.

But in the end, it could only die down in front of the strong embankment, and finally return to its original position.

Although he knew in his heart that Tongtan County was just one of the mildest areas, but seeing such a scene, Gu Yanshu's heart inevitably relaxed a little.

After seeing the situation in Tongtan County, the group did not dare to stay, and went straight to other areas.

Checking the past everywhere, the situation is much better than imagined.

The tide in Yizhou this year is indeed much higher than in previous years, but the newly built concrete dams are also more useful than expected.

So far, there has been no breach of the embankment.

In just two hours, there were only a few counties left where the situation was most serious in previous years.

On the way, Qin Lu and others also met Yizhou Zhizhou and others who came to investigate.

In the end, the two parties merged into one party and set off to Yanglin County together.

After checking all the way, the governor of Yizhou actually had a premonition in his heart:

With such a menacing appearance of the flood, Yanglin County and other places may not be able to resist it.

Seeing Qin Lu's serious expression again, he couldn't help persuading him in a low voice:

"This year's situation is much better than expected, and the cement dam is stronger than expected. Even if the situation in Yanglin County and other places is not optimistic, it has nothing to do with His Highness."

It's not that the dikes are not good enough, but that the rain this time is indeed too heavy.

Speaking of this, the magistrate of Yizhou felt that Qin Lu's luck was really bad.

After finally having a chance to make contributions, who knew that there would be so many accidents in the middle.

Not to mention the smallpox infection, but also the heavy rain that Yizhou has never seen in ten years.

In the event of a breach of the levee, the people in the court, regardless of whether it is the cause of the dam or the bad weather, will only shirk all the responsibility on the responsible person, that is, His Highness Li Wang.

In this regard, Qin Lu did not answer, but only replied lightly:

"Go to Yanglin County to have a look first."

"Yes."

With Qin Lu's reaction, the magistrate of Yizhou couldn't say anything more, so he just kept his mouth shut, followed silently, and marched hard towards Yanglin County.

The group had just arrived in Yanglin County, and before they reached the embankment, they saw a person rushing from a distance.

While running, the man seemed to be shouting something.

The rain was so heavy that the man's voice was almost drowned in the sound of the rain, and Yizhou Zhizhou could only hear words such as "wangye" and "dyke" sporadically.

Could it be that something went wrong with the dam in Yanglin County?

Before the magistrate of Yizhou could think about it, the man staggered towards them.

Before he even had time to catch his breath, he shouted directly:

"My lord, my lord, the embankment... there is nothing wrong with the embankment!"
