In the room, Grand Princess Yi De lifted up her handkerchief and wiped her tears, her heart full of reluctance.

"Grand Princess, if you really don't want to, why don't you think of a way to keep Miss here?

" You should also be clear about Yao'er's character. I can keep her as a person, but I can't keep her heart. Also, when a child grows up, I should go around and challenge her. There's still a long road ahead of us. We have to go through a lot of trials and hardships, so it's good for her. Don't worry about me.

Go and get people to prepare, pick out more good hands to follow her. Being out in the world is no match for being in the capital, and there are many people who can't reach their goal, so prepare as much as you can.

"

"Yes.

"

Mu Yunyao originally thought that her words would definitely attract some opposition from her mother after she told her family, but she didn't expect her agreement to be even better than that of Grand Princess Yi De.

"Mother, do you really agree to let me go out to look for your highness, the King?

"

Xu Yanhan couldn't help but smile,

"What, do you think that mother should cry bitterly and then do her best to stop you from going out?

"

"No, it's just that I didn't expect mother to agree so readily …

"

"If you can understand, mother would be happy for you if you were to directly face the relationship between you and King Yue. Furthermore, your mother believes that with your intelligence and wisdom, you can protect yourself wherever you go. Therefore, your mother is waiting for you and King Yue to return safely from Qin Fang Yuan.

"

Mu Yunyao stood up and threw herself into Xu Yanhan's arms.

"Mother, thank you.

"

"Bring some silver taels along the way, just in case there's any problems. Also, bring some of those pills and powders that you made. If you run into any of them, you would rather kill a few by mistake than let anyone hurt you.

"

"Alright, mother, don't worry. I will head back to the courtyard now to prepare.

"

"Yes.

" Two hours later, a horse carriage quickly left Qin Fang Yuan and headed for the city gate.

A light rain began to fall again. Princess Yi De raised her head, her eyes reflecting the gloomy sky and the heavy rain. It seemed as if it was so deep that one couldn't see the depth of it.

Xu Yanhan entered the house and bowed,

"Greetings, mother. I really don't feel well here. I was always worried about Yao'er, so I came over to talk to you.

" Sit down quickly, I want to find you too.

" Princess Yi De waited for Senior Servant Qu to serve the tea before ordering everyone to withdraw,

"Yan Han, in the past few days you have been doing quite well in settling the affairs of the Su Clan. Furthermore, with the death of Zhang Wan, the death knell of the Su Clan has already rung, so you don't need to waste your energy on them anymore.

"

Right now, what we need to do is to control the capital and buy some time for Yao'er and Jun Yue.

"

Xu Yanhan raised his head,

"Mother, your daughter doesn't quite understand.

" Although there was a spring flood near the river every year, when there was not enough rain, there would be a dam on both sides to prevent it from flooding the city. To dare cause such a ruckus and even scheme against the King of Assassins, he definitely had to be the work of those princes. Yun Yao and Jun Yue were both outside, if they still …

Letting them do whatever they wanted, it might cause a lot of trouble. In order for them to return as quickly as possible, all we can do is to let these princes of the capital settle down.

"

"Prince... Mother, the court is at stake... Can we cut in too?

"I don't know much, but I'm afraid I might fail.

" No one was born with such knowledge. Just by observing her, one could tell that the Su Clan's Su Jin was not locked up in Shuntian's prison. I will have someone think of a way to pry open her mouth, and if she asks, Prince Jin will not have the time to do anything. The Emperor is not worried about the balance of the court these days

Is it? Without the Su Clan's checks and balances, the Li Clan was the only power that met its match, so he would think of a way to suppress the Li Clan. In this way, wouldn't the imperial court regain its balance? The Li Family is in for a ride of misfortune, the King will definitely protect the foundation, and Jiang Nan will be able to remain calm for a while.

"

"Mother, it would naturally be the best if it was really as you said.

"

"Don't worry.

"

The emperor had summoned the princes and subjects into the palace for discussion. No one was in the mood to pay attention to anything else. Coupled with Grand Princess Yi's deliberate concealment, no one knew for the moment that Mu Yunyao had already left the capital.

Si Qin and the other three followed beside Mu Yunyao. Eunuch Cheng sent people to stop Mu Yunyao at the city gate and gave her the keepsake to call upon the Yue Clan's power.

After leaving the capital, Mu Yunyao brought people with her to abandon the carriage and board the boat. Fortunately, the Xing Shun boat had sent people to deal with the trade between Jiangnan and the capital, so they didn't waste any time.

In the palace, the officials' discussions were in chaos. The emperor listened to their bickering as he argued over the reason for the overthrow of the river. In fact, even the King and the Duke of Jin's men were bickering with each other over the matter, so angry that the teacups in their hands fell to the ground.

"What about the Minister of Revenue? This matter involves the Ministry of Revenue, so tell me, what should we do about it!

" The Minister of Revenue Qi Feng, eldest son of the Duke of Wei, was also the second prince, King Yu's eldest uncle. He dealt with matters impartially, listened to the Duke of Wei's teachings, and strictly guarded the Ministry of Revenue. The Duke of Yu and Prince Jin tried to rope him in, but failed at the end.

But the Emperor trusted him very much. Qi Feng, Minister of Revenue, stepped forward.

"Reporting to the emperor, it is no longer important to investigate why Lin Jiang broke the embankment, it is more important to count the affected people, towns, villages, and farmlands, and to transport food, clothing, and tents as soon as possible to relieve the disaster. The most important thing is to properly arrange for the victims. Currently, the details of the situation are still unclear, but according to the urgent report of the Imperial Guards from 500 miles away, the ones affected are Riverside City, Huai'an City and Yi River City. The population of these three cities are very dense, if the situation is serious and the Imperial Court is not able to make it in time, it will most likely cause the people's resentment to boil, and it might even cause a change of the people.

I beg the Emperor to give the order to open up the stores as soon as possible and to provide relief to the victims of the calamity.

"

Hearing this, the emperor's face turned slightly better.

"How much grain does the Ministry of Revenue have left?

" It was just that it was too time-consuming to transport them over from the capital. It would be better to mobilize them from the nearby cities, and then find a way to transfer two taels of silver to fill up the granary. This way, it could save a lot of time and time in the process of transportation.

"

"Un, where is King Yu?

"

The Second Prince, King Yu, quickly stood forward,

"Your son is here.

"

"If I send you to provide assistance, are you qualified?

"

The Second Prince's eyes lit up. After finding out about the incident with the King Fei, he was extremely anxious. Now that he was able to personally go to Jiangnan to relieve the disaster, he quickly agreed:

"This son will definitely not let father down.

"

"Imperial Father,

" the King stepped forward,

"Second Brother has no experience in disaster relief. Moreover, he has a reckless personality, causing the people to be nervous. If anything happens, the consequences will be unthinkable.

"

Prince Jin refused to be outdone,

"Father, this son will go first …

"

"Shut up!

"

"At this point, you guys don't have to worry about your brothers' lives, and you don't have to worry about the civilians who are suffering. You encourage the followers of your subordinates to fight and stir up the entire court. Do you really think that I can't control you guys now that I'm old?
