Cheng De eagerly looked forward to it, Ming Zhu sighed secretly, but only said: "The emperor's temperament may never return to the past!"

"I can't go back to the past..." Chengde was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Mingzhu meant, his eyes were vacantly looking at somewhere, and it took a while before they became sad.Then, he looked at Mingzhu, his voice trembling slightly, and asked, "Ama wants to persuade my son to go back now?"

Mingzhu was surprised, so she smiled and said: "Even if I persuade you, will you nod?" Seeing Chengde bit his lip and said nothing, he patted Chengde's shoulder and said with relief: "It's over, whether you regret it or worry about it, don't worry about it." It’s useless. Just do what you want, Ama will stand by your side!”

Chengde was moved. Seeing Mingzhu's slightly white temples, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He had never had the opportunity to experience this kind of father-son relationship in his previous life. All he could recall now was the quarrel between father and son, and only Mingzhu hated iron. A weak sigh.It was only after living this life that he realized how much his Ama valued and loved him.

The father and son chatted for a while, and then invited Zhang Lin to have dinner together at ten o'clock for dinner. That night, Zhang Lin and Cheng De lived separately in the government office.In the next few days, the two of them and a group of squires were on standby in the government office on the pretext of raising funds for disaster relief.

And Cao Yin hurriedly left Tianjin that day, and returned to the capital three days later to meet the emperor.

The Qianqing Palace, which used to be sunny in the past, is now shrouded in a lingering haze for some reason. Emperor Kangxi sits solemnly behind the dragon case. The piles of books on the dragon case show that the emperor has been restless these days Mood.

Cao Yin lowered his eyes and knelt down to salute, but he didn't hear the emperor's voice for a long time, so he couldn't help but raised his eyes and looked quietly. Now he was facing the emperor's sharp eagle eyes which were slightly narrowed. Kneel well, and don't dare to make another mistake.

The corners of Emperor Kangxi's lips curled up slightly, and he sneered sneeringly, but said quietly: "Is there any clue to what you are asked to do?"

Cao Yin struggled for a while, thinking about Chengde's advice, he said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, I did find Mr. Nalan in Tianjin, it's just..."

"Go on!" Emperor Kangxi's pen tip kept swishing down on the paper, and the pen was flying like flying, as if he didn't care about this matter.

However, Cao Yin knew that the emperor was definitely listening.So, he thought about his words, and then said: "Young master said, even if the emperor shoots someone to arrest him, he will not leave! I am incompetent and did not bring Mr. Nalan back! I hope the emperor will punish me!"

The emperor's pen stopped, and after a while he let out a muffled laugh, and then laughed out loud, as if what Cao Yin just said was just a joke.Cao Yin was so startled that he hurriedly looked up, walked forward on his knees, and said, "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? Why are you laughing? The slave didn't bring Mr. Nalan back! Your Majesty..."

"Get out!" Kangxi threw away the brush, and the brush smacked Cao Yin's face with ink, making Cao Yin, who was stunned, look very funny.

"Get out! Get out!" Emperor Kangxi pointed at the door and roared at Cao Yin with red eyes. He was trembling all over, as if trying to endure something, and Cao Yin knew that the emperor was suppressing the urge to kill.

Cao Yin didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he ran away like running for his life, scrambling and grabbing the door.Li Dequan came in with tea, saw Cao Yin rushing towards him, he hurriedly moved away, before he could recover, he was hit on the forehead by an inkstone flying towards him, Li Dequan groaned, and the emperor roared: "Who told you to come in? Get out of here!!"

Li Dequan was so frightened that his legs became weak, he quickly jumped over the threshold, closed the door neatly, and then he patted his chest and leaned against the wall to catch his breath.

The hall was so quiet that a needle drop could be heard.Emperor Kangxi covered his eyes with one hand and hung powerlessly by his side.He fell back into the dragon chair, his chest gradually calmed down from the violent ups and downs, and even for a moment it seemed to be still.His lips moved silently, silently chanting that person's name, which was 'Chengde'.

The earthquake in Tianjin combined with heavy rain and floods made the disaster serious. At first all the officials paid great attention to it, but for some reason, the emperor paid more and more attention to the disaster in Tianjin these days. As the progress progressed, all the cash in the national treasury was mobilized to fully support the disaster relief, and even the forbidden troops around the capital were mobilized to Tianjin for support.

Thanks to the emperor's support, it only took more than half a month for Mingzhu to dig a channel to divert the flood. As soon as the flood receded, the entire disaster situation was eased, and the turbulent situation of the victims also stabilized.

Zhang Lin accompanies Cheng De to go in and out together every day, showing careful care in the subtleties, people who don't know the inside story will really think that they are brothers, but all this falls in Mo Qinglan's eyes, like a It slowly pierced into his heart like a needle.

During those nights when Zhang Lin was not around, Mo Qinglan slept alone in the temporary tent, those wild thoughts flooded his chest like a scourge, causing him insomnia all night long, but he was at a loss what to do He didn't know what else a person of his status could do besides waiting.

And as soon as he thought that the person Zhang Lin admired was someone like Chengde, he would feel ashamed for no reason. He wanted to fight for it, but he also expected it to be a complete failure.

Cheng De was completely unaware of Zhang Lin's feelings for him. Ever since Mingzhu talked about Xuan Ye's recent situation last time, he has been unable to sleep for many days and nights. Disaster.

Mingzhu also sees that Chengde's spirit is not good. These days, he no longer assigns Chengde to do things, and only makes him rest in the house.Originally, Chengde only did some accounting work, but now that he has been resigned, Zhang Lin took the initiative to take this job, and he also took on it concurrently.

Zhang Lin became so busy that sometimes he didn't even have time to eat lunch.After Mo Qinglan found out about this, she cooked a few small dishes every day at noon and went to the government office to deliver meals to Zhang Lin.Zhang Lin didn't know Mo Qinglan's mood, seeing Mo Qinglan like this, he felt that he was well-behaved and sensible, so he naturally accepted it happily.

After the flood receded, everything went well.Coupled with the support of the imperial court and the attention of the emperor, by the beginning of November, the reconstruction of Tianjin City had been basically completed, and the disaster victims were able to return to their homes.

Therefore, on November [-], Emperor Kangxi ordered Mingzhu to return to Beijing to receive the reward.

Before parting, Mingzhu called Chengde to the study again and gave him a letter to read.The familiar handwriting on the envelope made Chengde inexplicably nervous, he couldn't wait to open the letter and read it.

It was a letter written by Xuan Ye to him. The letter was very short, only a few words, but each word hit Chengde's heart, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
