Xiang Xiao made jokes and solved Emperor Yao's temptation.
"Does Prince Xiang want to break up with Si?" In front of Emperor Yao, even joking has to be considered. "When the time comes, Si will not go to Prince Xiang's wedding banquet, lest he be kicked out and lose face."
"It's okay if you don't want to go, the gifts must be sent in advance!"
The two quarreled in front of Emperor Yao, who was also smiling.
"Okay, you two can quarrel in front of me, which shows that the friendship in private is more than close... If Xiang Qing has a girl he likes in the future, I will personally marry you!"
Emperor Yao took a step back, and Xiang Xiao stopped when he saw the opportunity.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Most summer rains are violent. Today was a gloomy day. It started to rain on the way home. The heavy rain hit the roof of the car, as if it was going to break through the roof.
The raindrops hit my face and hurt.
Wei Heyan poured a glass of warm water for Emperor Yao and opened the curtain. The smell of rain was mixed with the smell of grass. Si Yiluo was caught in the rain outside the carriage, and his clothes stuck to his body, outlining his good-looking figure.
The distance between the two of them has always been very close, but every time, she has to bear more than him. If possible, he is willing to enjoy the shelter in the carriage instead of her.
Meeting his gaze, Si Yiluo stepped forward and asked, "But what are the emperor's orders?"
Wei Heyan glanced at Emperor Yao. The sky was gloomy and the light in the carriage was dim. Emperor Yao put down the water glass and leaned against the carriage and fell asleep.
"Nothing, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Si."
The rain almost hit her eyes, so Si Yiluo wiped the raindrops from her face.
"It's not hard."
Wei Heyan was reluctant to put down the car curtain, but he was afraid that others would find out. Si Yiluo looked at the swaying car curtain and chuckled.
After escorting Emperor Yao back to the palace safely, Si Yiluo went back to his house and took a hot bath. The weather was very boring today. It was expected to rain heavily. The humid air and sweat made people very uncomfortable.
After coming out of the bathroom, Wei Heyan happened to walk under the eaves with an umbrella. His shoes and the hems of his clothes were all wet from the rain.
"It's raining so hard, I thought you wouldn't come back today."
Wei Heyan changed his shoes.
"I won't go to court tomorrow. Emperor Yao and I asked for leave to rest at home for a day."
Si Yiluo hummed.
"You go take a shower."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Yiluo knew that he had misunderstood when he saw the corners of his lips curl up.
"I mean, the weather is bad and you're sweating and your body is sticky. Go and clean it up."
He had a mysophobia and had to take a shower every day in the winter. Si Yiluo had long been used to it, and she had no other meaning at all when she said this. But someone just wanted to think about the color.
"Do you think this governor is dirty?"
This person... Si Yiluo simply nodded and said: "Yes, I think you are dirty, go and wash up quickly!"
Someone showed a wronged expression.
"Okay, I'll go right away..."
After sending him away, Si Yiluo stood under the eaves and watched the raindrops falling in a line from top to bottom, making blisters on the ground. The heavy rain had been falling for nearly an hour and had no intention of stopping.
It’s raining in Beijing, but what about other places?
"What are you thinking about?"
Wei Heyan wiped his hair with his nightgown half open, looking very fresh.
Si Yiluo was wondering if the Yellow River would burst its banks this year. Although the place where the banks burst would be far away from her, she had made a lot of efforts in her life and wondered if Li Wei could prevent this tragedy from happening.
"Don't think about anything. The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. Get some rest early. If you can't sleep, why don't we do something interesting..."
The thunder roared and many people couldn't sleep tonight.
After Livy took over as governor of the river, he had no time to spare. He first supervised the dredging project along the river, and then personally went up to the dam to observe this year's water level.
In the middle of the night I was woken up by a rapid knock on the door.
"Sir, the water level has suddenly risen, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier. I'm afraid the dam won't be able to hold on for long!"
It rained heavily for two hours, and Li Wei never fell asleep, so he put on his raincoat and opened the door.
"Go and have a look at the dam."
The subordinate worriedly said: "But sir, it's too dark now. You can't see anything on the dam at this time. If something happens..."
"I want to go check the situation first!"
There were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the rolling river water was rushing from upstream carrying mud. Driftwood and straw were floating on the water. I don’t know whose roof was swept away by the flood. Two white pigs were flopping in the water.
With.
"The embankment has burst in the upper reaches. Go and notify the neighboring counties to organize the people to retreat!"
He is the governor of the river, but he is not the local magistrate. He cannot issue orders directly and needs the cooperation of the county magistrates in various states and counties.
"Sir, what about you? I will escort you to a safe place first!"
Li Wei was inspecting the dams everywhere. Suddenly he heard a roar and lightning seemed to split the earth. People put on their raincoats and went out to check the situation.
"Folks, retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
Someone kept shouting in the chaos.
"The dam is about to burst, retreat quickly!"
"grown ups……"
"I want to write a memorial to the emperor!"
…
On such a thunderous night, Si Yiluo slept until midnight when Xiang Yun knocked on the window and inserted a note.
"Princess Han is gone." Si Yiluo handed the note to Wei Heyan, "This is the news from Si Hai."
King Han is a puppet and Princess Han is the puppet's wife, but they are both Wei Heyan's people.
Wei Heyan's expression remained unchanged as he placed the note on the candle and burned it to ashes.
"If you die, just die."
Anyway, she is just an insignificant person, just occupying the position of the princess so that they can do some things secretly. But she is more useful alive than dead.
At least no one will find out about King Han and his secret.
If the court brings a new princess, many things will be very inconvenient.
Si Yiluo felt a little uneasy.
"I always feel like something is going to happen!"
Such a thunderstorm night is an ominous omen in itself.
Emperor Yao was also frightened by the thunder and woke up in the middle of the night.
"Come here! Hold the lamp!"
Jiang Yun opened her eyes. The night before her father lost the food and grass, there was also a thunderstorm, and then she went from a carefree official lady to a prostitute in a brothel.
My heart tightened.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? I'm sorry for you..."
Emperor Yao turned sideways and saw her appearance, and said softly: "I'm fine, I just feel a little tight in my chest. Wanzhong, go and ask an imperial doctor to come over..."
Tonight, Dr. Lu was on duty, carefully diagnosing Emperor Yao's pulse.
"Your Majesty, you are just deficient in qi and blood. The weather is dull today, so you feel uncomfortable. I will prescribe you a decoction to soothe your nerves and replenish your qi. You should think less and rest more."
Emperor Yao waved him away.
"I want to get up and take a walk."
Wan Zhong immediately went to prepare clothes. Jiang Yun stood up and helped him up.
"I will accompany you."
The tents in the house were blown back and forth by the wind, and lightning split the darkness, illuminating the palace with red walls and yellow tiles.
"Every time it rains this much, it makes people panic."
It was windy outside, so Wan Zhong hurriedly got a cloak and hat.
"Your Majesty, you..." Jiang Yun asked hesitantly, "Do you feel lonely on such a rainy night?"
I heard from the people in the palace that Emperor Yao did not often go to the harem, nor did he often let his concubines sleep with him. Shu Meiren's presence in the palace has now become a past that cannot be mentioned, and Jiang Yun does not know.
Jiang Yun always felt that Emperor Yao was pitiful and could only say many thoughtful words to her. What about before she entered the palace?
