The free clinic continued for nearly ten days before the entire viewing city was controlled. The news of the plague also didn't spread to the surrounding cities.
Mu Yunyao and King Yue decided to leave for the capital, but didn't expect that the next day, a heavy rain would suddenly arrive, causing the road to be covered in mud.
King Yue sat by the window with Mu Yunyao. There was a Go board placed beside their hands, but neither of them had any intention of playing chess. They only absentmindedly watched the rain outside.
"Master Four, when do you think the rain will stop?"
"From the looks of it, I won't be able to stop today."
Mu Yunyao turned her head, the small white jade earrings swaying slightly in her ears."Can we only wait here?"
Yue Huang Wang stood up, extended his hand out the window and caught the droplets that were constantly falling."I'm afraid we won't be able to wait much longer."
As they were talking, King Yu walked over with his umbrella, "Fourth brother, Yunyao, King Yu and Prince Jin have come to Jiangnan. We've already arrived at Riverside City, I need to hurry over. You guys can head back to the capital after the rain stops."
King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao with an awkward expression."Yao`er ..."
Mu Yunyao smiled as she stood up."Your Highness, Fourth Master was talking about this just now. We will return to Riverside City with you." If he let Yue Yang leave now, he would not be able to calm down. He might as well go and take a look together, maybe he could help out a little.
"You guys go over as well?"
"This heavy rain came at the wrong time. We need someone to watch the riverbank of Lin River and the riverbank of Yi River. His Highness will definitely be busy by himself." Master Four and I can share the burden."
King Yu looked at Mu Yunyao with some surprise, thinking of her usual style of doing things, he couldn't help but praise, "My fourth brother is truly fortunate. Since that's the case, let's go. I'll have someone prepare a carriage for us alone. Yunyao, you don't need to ride. What do you think about this, fourth brother?"
"Alright." King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao with warm love and joy in his eyes.
Mu Yunyao and he looked at each other, and an intangible mutual understanding circulated between the two of them.
Very quickly, the carriage and luggage were packed. Mu Yunyao and the imperial physicians boarded the carriage and headed out of the city through the rain.
The commoners who heard the commotion opened the door to take a look and saw that it was Mu Yunyao and the rest who were about to leave. They immediately became anxious."The Duke and the County Lord have left!"
The sound of Huhe attracted more people outside the house to gather over.
Mu Yunyao opened the curtain of the carriage and looked through the rain to see the anxious expressions of those people.
King Yue did not give the order to stop. His speed did not slow down as he stepped through the city gate while splashing water all over the ground.
The scribe could not bear to do so."Miss, it seems like those commoners have come to send us off. Are we to say a few more words without stopping?" We did not help the people to repay them, and the gratitude in their hearts will not disappear just because we did not say goodbye. Now that the rain is so heavy, if we leave any words behind, we might just have to make a few more people sick, which is not even worth it." Mu Yunyao put down the curtain and leaned against the wall as she listened to the urgent situation outside ...
The sound of the rain became louder and the worry in his eyes became stronger.
Si Shu replied, "Your Highness and Young Miss are the most considerate ones."
King and Prince Jin were sitting in the office of River Lin City with cold expressions. The teacups around them had long since turned completely cold.
The King looked at the sky outside and couldn't help but say, "I remember a few years ago, I came to River City to inspect. At that time, it was the Xiangyang Festival, and the Dragon Boat flew by the riverside. The onlookers all crowded together, and the momentum and the scene were especially grand, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it now."
Prince Jin looked at the King, but did not say a word.
"Third brother, I thought that I was heartless enough. I didn't think that I would be inferior to you. Riverside City has been destroyed to such a state. Yishui City, which was the worst affected by the disaster, is probably in an even more miserable state now." If brother is really worried about all these, why don't you go and take a look yourself? Right now, they were not in the capital, so there was no need for them to maintain their relationship. He and the King had fought for so many years, and they had long since clashed against each other.
There was no need to put on an act. He could do whatever he wanted. King gave a cold laugh."Aren't you worried about the people around you, third brother? "Ah, I forgot. Your mufei is born into a palace, so her status is naturally not that great. So, third brother will only remember to fight over the things in front of him and won't put his eyes out for long."
It was royal father who knew that in order to cover up the fact that you stole Jiangnan's salt tax and dug up the riverbank to make the people suffer, what would he do? " King Jin turned his head and smiled sarcastically: "Big brother, do you dare to tell this matter to royal father? Don't forget, you're here too. My body is dirty, and you won't be able to go anywhere clean. If we fight, it will only benefit King Yu and King Yue! This is the kind of scene you want to see
Did you get there? "
"Second Brother has always focused on the battlefield and has no intention to fight for it. As for King Yue, he has been exiled to Western Guangdong for many years. What else is there for him to fight for?" Brother, why didn't I think you were this innocent before? " Prince Jin gave a cold snort, "The imperial concubine Qi of King Yu holds an extraordinary position in the palace. The Marquis of Wei, Qi, is deeply trusted by his father, the Emperor.
Department of Revenue, do you have any room for us to interfere? King Yu did not fight before this, but can you guarantee that he will not fight now? "
The center of the king's eyebrows furrowed and a dark light flashed through his eyes. King Jin continued: "And King Yue, you said everything is fine, why did he come back from the west of Cantonese? He killed Meng Handong, offended the Meng Family, but did Imperial Father punish him? He brought people into the Su Family and killed ten of my guards. First, he had made a name for himself with his porridge during the Lunar New Year, and now, he was coming to provide relief to Jiangnan. When he returned to the capital, his reputation would definitely rise once again, and at that time, who amongst us would be able to suppress him? He was the direct descendant of his father, even though the empress had died in disgrace.
But since royal father has not been established for so many years, he is the only legitimate son, so it is reasonable that he has the chance to make a comeback."
The King raised his head, his gaze exceptionally deep."Heh, why are you telling me this? You want me to be the spear and take care of King Yu and Yue Yang? "
Prince Jin smiled coldly and retreated. He then tidied up his clothes and spoke in a gentle tone, "Big brother, what are you thinking about? Aren't we two brothers chatting?" Furthermore, he had always been proud of his eldest son. The one thing he could not tolerate the most was being the direct descendant of the Titan King.
The center of the third brother's eyebrows twitched, he raised his teacup and shook it, then looked at Prince Jin coldly: "Even if this salted fish were to flip over, it would still not become a dragon. Third brother, don't sow discord anymore, if you have the time, you might as well think about how to overcome the current difficulties." Prince Jin pursed his lips and no longer spoke.
