Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 14 Calculated
Without further ado, Chu Yanrong turned around and ordered the palace servants: "Return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I want to see the Emperor!"

So, the chattering teenagers turned around and saw Chu Yanrong and Ye Wanqing walking towards them, followed by a large group of palace servants.

A group of people saluted quickly——

When I looked up again, the mother and daughter had already disappeared into the distance.

There was a sense of uneasiness in the scorching summer breeze.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Emperor Chu Huaigeng of Fengyang had just sent away a group of chattering teenagers. He was annoyed by the noise and was ready to take a rest.

The palace maid came to report: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess wants to see you."

"Didn't they leave the palace? Why are they back again?" Emperor Fengyang suppressed his tired expression and said, "Ask them in."

Ye Wanqing followed Chu Yanrong into the hall.

It was noon, but the Hall of Supreme Harmony was very cool.

There was an ice jar placed every ten steps in the hall. Hot air blew into the hall from the windows, accelerating the melting of the ice and spreading coolness to every corner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

When entering the door, Ye Wanqing trembled slightly.

Chu Yanrong wasn't much better.

Emperor Fengyang sat on the dragon throne and waited for the mother and daughter to finish their greetings before asking, "Is there something important that has happened to you, my sister?"

Chu Yanrong said bluntly: "Your Majesty, please withdraw the order to order the royal family members to patrol the mountains for training, and immediately send people from the Capital Water Conservancy Bureau to Yinxu County to patrol the mountains and eliminate dangers!
Also, send a message to the local officials to immediately send troops to evacuate the people of Yinxu County, the sooner the better! "

Emperor Fengyang's eyes were as bright as torches.

Due to years of busy work on state affairs, the emperor, who is about to enter his forties, looks much older than his well-maintained sister.

The emperor's tone was normal, but he was dignified without being angry: "Imperial sister, do you know what I am talking about?"

"There was a mudslide in Yinxu County recently." Chu Yanrong looked at him steadily.

Emperor Fengyang said: "Fabricating rumors and causing panic, even if the imperial sister is the eldest princess of the Western Wei, she cannot escape punishment."

Chu Yanrong replied: "If the emperor didn't believe it, why would he listen to the words of the Imperial Observatory and send the royal family members to leave the capital to patrol the lake under the pretext of training?"

Emperor Fengyang was silent.

Chu Yanrong continued, "Your Majesty, please send people to relocate all the people in Yinxu County, Huaibei immediately. If there are no mudslides and everything is fine, please punish me, even if it means deposing me."

"Imperial sister, please be careful with your words!" Emperor Fengyang was slightly angry.

Chu Yanrong said earnestly: "That's more than a thousand lives!"

Emperor Fengyang's forehead was bulging with veins. "Even the people at the Imperial Observatory couldn't figure out the exact location. Tell me, how did you know it so clearly?"

Chu Yanrong was stumped by the question.

Anyone else would have been frightened to the point of kneeling on the ground by these words.

Knowing more than the emperor is not a good thing.

If another powerful official had told this story, he might have been suspected of plotting a rebellion, which would have aroused the emperor's suspicion and led to a rift between the emperor and his officials.

At this time, Ye Wanqing, who had been silent all the time, stood up and said, "Reporting to the Emperor..."

Chu Yanrong was shocked and interrupted Ye Wanqing without thinking: "It was calculated by the wandering Taoist priest!"

At that moment, Chu Yanrong thought a lot.

Her daughter shouldn't be involved.

Dreams are inherently illusory things, and predicting future events in a dream is even more mysterious and may lead to disasters.

Even so, the emperor is her uncle.

Chu Yanrong stopped Ye Wanqing and said to the emperor: "Wanqing is my only daughter. I started worrying about her marriage before she even reached the age of marriage.

My mother is a Buddhist, so I can only ask a traveling sorcerer to predict Wanqing's marriage in private.

There will be a disaster in Yinxu County this year, and it was the sorcerer who told me about it.

I had not taken this matter to heart at first, but I have been feeling uneasy these days, and the Emperor has sent someone to Yinxu, so I had no choice but to speak out."

There was a long silence in the hall.

Ye Wanqing felt like there was a string in her heart. Ever since her mother interrupted her, the string had been vibrating non-stop and she was in a state of confusion.

Her mother was so eager to protect her that she took on all the affairs of Yinxu County herself.

But, the emperor may have known the truth. This is deceiving the emperor...

Emperor Fengyang's eyes moved back and forth between Chu Yanrong and Ye Wanqing's faces.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "So, sister, Wan Qing refused to marry Lu Jilian and chose the son of Prince Dun. Was it the result of divination?"

"Yes." Chu Yanrong replied.

Emperor Fengyang looked at her with cold eyes: "On the day when the Crown Prince was inspected at the Imperial College, what Wanqing wrote on the paper was also a hint from a dream?"

Imperial College?
What did Wanqing write?
Chu Yanrong did not dare to hesitate: "Yes..."

The emperor sneered.

Seeing this, Ye Wanqing quickly knelt on the ground.

Emperor Fengyang turned his gaze away from Chu Yanrong and looked at Ye Wanqing who was kneeling on the ground: "The question you wrote in the Imperial College was delivered to me that day."

really……

Ye Wanqing sighed in her heart.

It's really a case of one move affecting the entire body.

The heart of an emperor is truly unfathomable.

"My child is terrified." Ye Wanqing knelt straight, lowered her head slightly and apologized: "Your Majesty, please don't blame my mother. She cared about the people and wanted to protect me, so she had no choice but to do this.

The flood is a serious matter. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible.

Wanqing alone will bear the blame."

In her previous life, she had seen the cycle of spring and autumn, the rising and setting of the sun and the moon for more than forty years. Every day she lived in this life was earned.

Chu Anlan and thousands of people buried in Yinxu County were forever trapped in the natural disaster on a rainy night.

The elderly who have toiled all their lives but have yet to enjoy happiness, the parents who are looking forward to their children returning home for reunion, the young people whose lives have not yet begun, the babies who are born with the love and expectations of their parents...

It's good to exchange her for a thousand people.

At least, at the moment of making the choice, her heart and soul were free and light.

She got what she asked for.

……

Chu Yanrong looked at her daughter who was protecting her, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Emperor Fengyang showed a trace of fatigue between his brows, and raised his hand to press his temple: "Imperial sister, my head hurts."

He was giving the mother and daughter a way out.

Chu Yanrong felt sad and walked behind Emperor Fengyang: "I'll give you a massage."

She was worried about her daughter, but she also felt sorry for her brother.

The previous emperor passed away early, the princes were ambitious, the princes fought openly and secretly, and the situation in the harem of the early Qing Dynasty was treacherous and extremely exhausting.

Emperor Fengyang spent several years to bring peace and order to the court.

If you work too hard, your hair will turn gray early.

Looking at the white hair between Emperor Fengyang's temples, Chu Yanrong paused in her pressing movements and took a barely perceptible breath.

Emperor Fengyang slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Wanqing who was kneeling on the ground: "Everything in the world is cyclical, fate meets destiny, and everything is destined.

I wanted to help you cover up, but you still exposed yourself...

You will bear all the consequences yourself."

Ye Wanqing was stunned.

The Emperor...knows everything.

The emperor was afraid that her precognitive dream would be exposed to the public, so he instructed the Imperial Observatory to take over the whole matter.

Ye Wanqing folded her hands on the ground, rested her forehead on the back of her hands, and bowed solemnly to Emperor Fengyang: "Qing'er, thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Fengyang looked at her from above and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. You still have to go to Yinxu County to protect Chu Anlan, whom you care about so much."

Ye Wanqing raised her head suddenly.
