After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Jiang Yan's letter completely relieved Ning Ruyan's heart. Although there was no way to avoid this flood, at least it was not like the previous life where there were countless casualties. At least half of the people in Nanyang City were saved.

Next, all she can do is support him with the materials she has hoarded since her rebirth, and put aside love. Jiang Yan is a trustworthy and good official.

On this day, Ning Ruyan went to the winery.

Nowadays, those recreational liquors are not made for the time being. Instead, more and more "Dongfeng Li" is made and further purified, because the stronger the liquor, the better its disinfection and anesthesia functions.

Nowadays, both sides are at war. Whether it is treating wounds or keeping out the cold, Dongfeng Lie is even more effective than the burning knife in the north. Therefore, she is planning to produce more, which may be useful in the future.

"Miss, the prince is here." Zisu walked in.

"Huh?" Ning Ruyan was stunned and stopped holding the abacus, "Who?"

"Prince."

"What is he here for?"

"I want to see the eldest lady."

Ning Ruyan pondered for a moment: "Invite him to the private room on the second floor in the backyard."

Sang Ye nodded, turned around and went out.

Ning Ruyan pondered for a moment, then got up and went to the private room.

"Miss Ning." Crown Prince Xia Donglin took the lead in offering his hand before Ning Ruyan spoke, "It's very presumptuous for me to come and disturb you."

"I didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince is coming, but I am sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar. I hope you will forgive me." Ning Ruyan saluted and said the usual polite words.

"You don't have to be like this, Miss Ning. Let's sit down and talk." Xia Donglin gestured with a smile, and then took the lead to sit down.

After Ning Ruyan thanked him, she sat down next to him and said, "His Royal Highness, come here, what's the matter?" She didn't intend to play riddles, so she just got straight to the point.

"Haha." Xia Donglin smiled, "Miss Ning is really direct."

Ning Ruyan smiled and said nothing.

"I know your relationship with Ayan."

Ning Ruyan raised her eyes, and the smile on her face faded instantly: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that I have no ill intentions towards you."

Ning Ruyan was noncommittal.

"I know you have supplies in hand, and everything Ayan did in the south this time was supported by you. Even the previous snow disaster was only because of you that the losses were reduced so much."

"What exactly does Your Highness want to say? As a citizen of Daxia, shouldn't I support it?"

"Ayan values ​​you and...your son very much."

"What on earth do you mean?" Ning Ruyan frowned, "Your Highness, can you tell me directly? You go around like this. I am stupid and don't quite understand."

"What I mean is, of course, to cooperate with Miss Ning." Xia Donglin smiled, "You should know that if you want to secure the position of prince, you need money, and I am a poor prince."

Ning Ruyan's brows furrowed even higher. "I need Ayan's support in the court, and I also need the Ning family's support in terms of money."

"Your Highness, please forgive me, no one is competing with you for this position now, you can sit very firmly."

"Wrong." Xia Donglin shook his head and tapped his fingers on the table a few times. "I am just a chess piece when I sit here. But, who is willing to be a chess piece?"

"The Ning family is just a small fortune, I'm afraid..."

"Don't refuse in a hurry." Xia Donglin interrupted Ning Ruyan, "Gu promised that once Gu Zhen ascends the throne of God, the Ning family will become an imperial merchant, and they will be given a gold medal to avoid death and make your father and brother a marquis. Gu can guarantee that as long as Gu is in power, the Ning family will prosper."

Ning Ruyan had suppressed the turmoil in her heart at this time and smiled: "My daughter cannot agree to this matter. After all, my daughter is married and is just a guest in the Ning family. That requires father Make the decision with Big Brother.”

"There is no rush about this matter. You can discuss it with your family carefully." Xia Donglin stood up and said, "Goodbye."

"Farewell to the Crown Prince." Ning Ruyan stood up and saluted.

After the person left, he sighed and hurried back to the county government's mansion. He picked up a pen and wrote a letter to his family, and arranged for Ning Xing to send it back in person.

Although Ning Xing traveled day and night, it was difficult to travel due to flooding in the south. By the time he returned, it was already mid-July.

Not only did he bring back the letter from the Ning family, but he also brought back the situation of the Jiangnan rebels and floods.

Although the flood occurred one month earlier than in the previous life, the damage was not small at all. However, because of Jiang Yan's intervention, the losses were still much smaller than in the previous life.

Ning Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief. She was just a humble citizen who had done everything she could. As for the outcome, she had to leave it to fate.

During this period, the emperor once again issued an order calling on everyone to donate money and materials to ensure combat supplies for the north and south.

At this time, bad news came from the northern border. General Sui Yuan of Dingguo was captured by the Beiyuan Army. However, the Beiyuan Army did not kill him. Instead, news came and asked to follow the generals. For the Xia Kingdom's marriage, what they asked for was the eldest princess of the Great Xia Kingdom. As for who they married in the past, they did not make it clear.

When the news came back to the DPRK, it caused a great shock.

Some ministers impeached the Sui family, saying that the Sui family was not worthy of leading the army, so they took the opportunity to seize military power and let other capable people take over.

Some ministers also felt that General Sui's military exploits were outstanding, so there must be a reason for what happened this time, and they must be investigated to avoid unjustly accusing loyal ministers.

Some ministers also said that marrying a princess would be a shame for Daxia and absolutely impossible.

……

In short, there was a lot of noise in the court, but Emperor Xia Wen never expressed his position, and he seemed to be arguing with you.

After arguing like this for about two or three days, Ning Ruyan received news from Xin Yi.

Xin Yi briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter. Sui Yuan's mistake was just because of a traitor. Someone revealed his marching route to Bei Yuan in advance, and then he encountered an ambush.

Now, Sui Changying temporarily takes over the position of commander-in-chief.

Since Sui Changsheng broke his leg and was unable to go to the battlefield, his second son Sui Changan had taken over the position of his eldest brother. However, in this battle, Sui Yuan found that his youngest daughter had shown great combat abilities and predicted the enemy's actions several times. , and even saved the lives of several lieutenants during battles several times, so Sui Yuan simply made his daughter his lieutenant.

This time what happened, if Sui Changying hadn't reacted immediately, all the 20,000 people Sui Yuan brought with him would have been wiped out. It was because of this that after Sui Yuan was captured, she took over her father's position as a soldier. None of us objected.

Ning Ruyan knew that the truth would probably not reach Heaven, so all she could do was tell the emperor the true situation to prevent him from making a wrong decision. (End of chapter)
