C183 Jiangnan flood

The reason why Fu Huaiyu came to Jiangnan this time was mainly for the elite soldiers of Jiangnan.

He originally wanted Shen Qingwan to stand on his side, and even stood by his side in the future. However, he didn't expect that he would reject him again and again.

It really was a disobedient chess piece.

Fu Huaiyu played with the two black chess pieces in his hands, with a slip of his hand, the chess pieces fell to the ground, causing him to look a little unhappy.

Heh …

"Zhu Yan, do you know what happens to people who go against this king?" The words that came out of his mouth caused the woman sitting across from him to shudder.

"Of course they would kill without mercy." Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhu Yan remained calm on the surface as he indifferently answered his question.

Fu Huaiyu chuckled, "Killing without mercy, you truly make people unwilling to part with it …" There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but he didn't seem to want to give up. Instead, it seemed like he was determined to get it.

Seeing him reveal such an expression, Zhu Yan laughed bitterly in his heart. There were probably only a few people in this world that could make the Duke feel unwilling. He knew that she was being surrounded by a cold aura around her. Only then did she come back to her senses, only to see Fu Huaiyu's pair of peach blossom eyes looking at her with a smile, but his eyes were cold and deep, "You go down and receive your punishment."

Zhu Yan trembled as she lowered her head, "Yes." At the very least, the Prince would never be reluctant to part with her.

Inside the imperial study, Fu Yuheng was concentrating on reading the imperial reports and reviewing them one by one.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past. A man dressed in black quietly appeared beside Fu Yuheng. This person exuded a sharp aura that made one feel intimidated upon seeing him. However, he was currently waiting for Fu Yuheng respectfully.

Putting away the things he read carefully, he picked up a new one and continued looking at it. He did not even raise his head as he asked, "Do you have something to report?"

"Reporting to the emperor, there is a sudden flood in Jiangnan. The situation is critical, so I hope the emperor can make a decision soon!" After that, that person stood there motionlessly like a dead animal.

Fu Yuheng's hand trembled slightly as the brush in his hand slipped. Jiangnan had always been peaceful and calm, but this time, there was suddenly a flood. It was likely that many citizens were going to be displaced again. Sighing, he waved his hand and the man disappeared from sight.

When the imperial government was finally dealt with, Fu Yuheng ordered someone to pass on a message to Shen Qingwan. Firstly, he wanted to see her; secondly, she was extremely intelligent; he wanted to see what she could do.

"Your majesty, why are you frowning?" Since the beginning, Fu Yuheng's brows had always been locked together because of the incident with the water disaster. Shen Qingwan opened her mouth and asked.

"I have heard that there is a flood in Jiangnan and that the common people have to suffer. I am depressed."

"Then the emperor should have sent someone to direct the management right away. Otherwise, more people will be affected by the disaster if time passes." When Shen Qingwan heard this, she was also worried. She urged Fu Yuheng to send someone to manage it as soon as possible.

"If it's really as simple as you say, why would I have to worry about it?" Fu Yuheng shook his head. His brows were still knitted tightly and his face was filled with helplessness. The ministers and officials of the court were all useless people who had nothing to eat and were unwilling to accept such a mess.

"Does the Emperor not have a suitable candidate?" Seeing that he wanted to say something, Shen Qingwan quickly understood what the problem was.

Fu Yuheng nodded his head slightly, but his frown deepened. "The ministers of the court are all lazy eaters. There aren't many who can truly use it."

Shen Qingwan pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, her eyes had a hint of calculation, "Your majesty, from Chenqie's point of view, I am not a useless person."

"Oh?" Fu Yuheng looked at her in astonishment, not knowing what she wanted to say.

"Don't we still have the Ninth Prince to help the Emperor? I believe Ninth Prince is very willing. "

She was only saying this to other people, but Fu Yuheng understood her goal. She wanted to take this opportunity to not only deal with the water calamity in Jiangnan, but also take the chance to test Fu Huaiyu.

He also wanted to find an opportunity to test Fu Huaiyu. Now was not the time to alert the enemy.

However, if she were to probe him directly, it would arouse his suspicions. However, if she were to use him at this moment, he would be at a loss. No matter how smart he was, he would not be able to guess her intentions.

However, he was still a bit worried. After all, the matter of Jiangnan was not as big as it sounded, and not as small as it sounded. There was still a need to think carefully about it.

"This matter, I will consider carefully." Fu Yuheng massaged the pain between his eyebrows as he felt a slight irritation in his heart.

Shen Qingwan didn't stay much longer as she had to consider this herself. After all, the only thing she could do was make suggestions and she would decide on the final decision. Besides, with her understanding of him, he was bound to do so.

After Shen Qingwan left, Fu Yuheng pondered for a moment. At this time, a carrier pigeon came in through the door, its wings producing a fluttering sound.

He tore down the letter and unfolded it. The words written on it made him smile. It seemed that this was heaven's will.

"Someone, come!" Sun Ning, who was always outside, also came in at this time.

"Your majesty, is there anything you need a servant to do?" A fawning smile appeared on Sun Ning's face. He had seen the smile that flashed across Fu Yuheng's face just now with his sharp eyes, so he knew that he was in a good mood right now.

Fu Yuheng took an imperial edict and passed it onto Sun Ning's hand, "Send someone to deliver this imperial edict to the Jiangnan Ninth Prince. You must do it quickly and without delay!" The red phoenix eyes emitted a light that made people unconsciously feel affected. The imposing aura that was so strong that it made people unconsciously want to submit.

Sun Ning accepted the call, and his face became serious. He knew that this must be an important matter, so he stopped smiling.

After Sun Ning left, a figure walked out of the door and towards Shen Qingwan's courtyard. It was Xiao Man.

"How is it?" Shen Qingwan asked nonchalantly, as if she already knew the result.

"Empress, the emperor has agreed." Xiao Man had a smile on her face, and was even more respectful to her own mistress.

She knew that Fu Yuheng would definitely do as she said, because this was already the best course of action. Now that the enemy was in the dark, if he didn't lure the snake out of its cave first, he would be at an even greater disadvantage.

"Looks like father should go over and give some pointers." Shen Qingwan smiled, her fingertips fiddling with the zither strings, releasing a crisp sound, but at the same time, it was as if her heart was being hit, as though her entire person was being seen through.
