Chapter 259 Big Water
If he really has the Nine Heavens Record, he will definitely keep it by his side at all times and not be noticed.
But now, he first found a place to hide that no one would have thought of, such as the Imperial College.
Then he deliberately let out some rumors, but didn't explain anything clearly, such as the wall on the second floor of the library.
In this way, it is difficult for people to guess whether it is true or false.
After thinking about the causes and consequences of this matter, King Yong came to a conclusion in his mind. He even doubted whether the information recorded in the Nine Heavens in the Library Pavilion that he had found earlier was released by Emperor Yu himself.
Ye Ningyu said in the letter that she was injured, and now he is a little worried about whether she left any loopholes when she entered the library last night, and whether she would be traced to him if the incident happened.
He felt as if some things were beyond his control. Also, the black armor mentioned in Ye Ningyu's letter... his father actually had a secret guard of the emperor!
King Yong began to feel agitated.
Only a boom was heard, and a thunder exploded in the afternoon sky. King Yong was really startled.
He lit the fire folder in his hand, and the letter quickly turned into ashes.
Another explosion of thunder sounded, and a faint sound of rain entered the side hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake. It's time to go back to the imperial study." The father-in-law on duty came urging from outside.
King Yong opened the door impatiently, and in a flash he smiled gently. "Thank you, father-in-law."
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the water on the ground became deeper and deeper. Within a few steps, King Yong's shoes were filled with a lot of water.
King Yong frowned, endured the discomfort, and walked step by step to the imperial study.
This section of the road is destined to go through ups and downs.
Today's rain came suddenly and violently. In less than half an hour, the water on the ground was already half a hand high, and the sky turned from sunny in the afternoon to overcast.
Midsummer is here, and with it the rainy season.
Ye Ningyu stood under the eaves, watching the rain falling into the courtyard with a calm expression.
"Big girl!" Fang Yanqing walked in the rain, "Prince Jing's Mansion sent someone to the palace to announce the funeral."
"Worrying for funeral?" Ye Ningyu was very surprised when she suddenly heard the news. "Who is mourning for?"
"Princess Jing is gone!" Fang Yanqing said.
"Why not?"
"The people who were sent to keep an eye on her said that Princess Jing's health was not as good as before after her previous miscarriage. In addition, these days she was having a hard time calming down because of the premature baby, and her energy and blood were stagnant. They called in one doctor after another, but to no avail.
I just died in the afternoon."
A few days ago, Fang Yanqing arranged for people to keep an eye on several palaces day and night, and would come back to report any news. Prince Jing's Mansion had always been ordinary and quiet, but he didn't expect that it would be such a big event as soon as there was news.
Fang Yanqing added, "This morning, His Majesty summoned all the princes to come to the palace to accompany him on government affairs. King Jing, who never took the initiative to enter the palace, also came to the palace today. It is said that King Jing originally wanted to enter the palace to ask Your Majesty to give him another good imperial doctor.
,did not expect……"
Ye Ningyu stood there blankly, without saying a word for a long time.
Today, the three princes were in the royal study together. At this time, the news of Princess Jing's death must have reached their ears.
King Jing was an honest man who didn't like to fight with others, but he loved and cared for his own princess. This was evident from his behavior of visiting the palace several times to seek medical advice.
I don’t know how he would react when he suddenly heard the news. I don’t know how King Yong, who was standing next to King Jing, would react when he heard the news.
That night, the news of Princess Jing's death spread like wildfire throughout the capital.
Along with this news, there was another bigger news - the palace was flooded!
The rain that had been falling for half a day was like a flood, rushing into the splendid palaces. Whether it was the main hall in front of the palace or the side halls of the ladies in the harem, it was more or less affected.
The water was far from raging, and it did not hurt anyone. It just soaked into various palaces and halls, submerging a small section of tables and chairs. Whether they were maids, palace officials, or masters walking in the palace, they also
Regardless of the precautions of the emperor and his ministers, they all rolled up their trouser legs and marched hard. The rain was covering their calves.
According to private rumors among the palace residents, due to the double ravages of heavy rain and flooding, the only place that was not flooded was the highest-located Wuying Hall.
Here, the kind and honest King Jing hugged Emperor Yu’s thigh and cried the whole night.
Early the next morning, when the flood subsided, Emperor Yu asked people to escort King Jing out of the palace. No one saw how his eyes were crying, but they only knew that he was carried out.
When night falls, the children who are still playing in the streets and alleys sing a nursery rhyme over and over again: The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and once the emperor turned into a real dragon.
"Sister."
In Qiushui Courtyard, Ye Ningqiu hurriedly walked in with his personal maid.
"I'll talk to the eldest sister for a while, and you can go out and play with the girls outside. Don't be constrained." Ye Ningqiu looked at his girl and said.
The little girl stepped back. Ye Ningyu looked at Ye Ningqiu, poured her a cup of tea, gently pushed it to Ye Ningqiu's hand, and said with a smile, "You look more and more like a master."
Ye Ningqiu sighed softly, "Sister, how long has it been, and you still have the energy to make fun of me."
Ye Ningyu's expression remained as usual, "Oh? Then tell me, what time is it now?"
Ye Ningqiu came in and said, "Have you heard about the flood in the palace?"
"Um."
"Is this related to elder sister?"
Ye Ningyu chuckled. "Your eldest sister is a human being, not a god. Do you think I can control the wind and rain?"
Hearing this, Ye Ningqiu breathed a long sigh of relief. She said that this thing was too bold and too strange, although she didn't know how the palace, which had never been flooded before, was flooded this year.
, but she didn’t believe that this could be done by humans.
However, before Ye Ningqiu could relax for a long time, he heard Ye Ningyu say again, "However, I did add fuel to the flames."
"Wha...what?" Ye Ningqiu was stunned. She didn't understand what Ye Ningyu meant.
"The drainage ditches under the capital city have been disturbed before."
"Sister, what I mean is that the flooding of the palace this time is related to the underground drainage ditch!"
"Yeah." Ye Ningyu poured herself another cup of hot tea.
"Why did the eldest sister add fuel to the flames and let the water flood the palace? This matter has too much to do with it, you..."
Although Ye Ningqiu got the answer, he was still extremely surprised.
"If the water does not flood the palace, it will flood the entire Wenxing Street in Dadu City. After considering the two sides, where do you think it is more cost-effective to flood?"
"There are so many shops on Wenxing Street. If they are flooded, the ordinary merchants and people will suffer heavy losses. I wonder what big trouble will happen." Ye Ningqiu immediately thought of it.
Ye Ningyu nodded, her sister was indeed very smart.
"This rain will come sooner or later, and this water will come sooner or later."
"How did the eldest sister know about it?" Ye Ningqiu looked at Ye Ningyu as if he were a god. In her opinion, this was not a god, but almost a god. Who could have predicted this level and still let him die alive?
Sekisui changed direction?!
Ye Ningyu sighed, "You remember, I told you about the Xinglong Restaurant before. It involves those shops. It's a long story. I'll tell you after the matter is completely resolved.
."
This matter is related to the underground arsenal, involving Liang Guo and King Yong. The more we know, the more dangerous it will be. Ye Ningyu doesn't want his family to get involved.
Ye Ningqiu nodded and did not ask any more questions. However, she asked another question. "The drainage ditches in Dadu City were probably built by the Ministry of Industry before. If such a big thing happened this time, the palace will definitely investigate thoroughly."
