Chapter 508: Extreme Water Shortage

"Then if I find Prince Jiang in the capital and bring him to the Ninth Prince, will he favor me?" Lord Wang asked sincerely.

"..." Lord Li's mood at the moment was difficult to describe, and he looked at Lord Wang with a complicated expression.

Lord Wang was unaware of this and was still waiting for Lord Li's response.

This is a piece of rotten wood, Lord Li thought so in his heart, and then he no longer had the heart to continue talking to him. He nodded casually, responded with a casual word that he didn't mean to say, and then Lord Li said goodbye to him.

"Thank you for your reminder, Lord Li. I will come to thank you when the matter is accomplished." Lord Wang said after Lord Li took the first step.

Lord Li paused, turned around and smiled at him in response.

After taking a few steps, Lord Li cursed inwardly.

Even if Jiang Lin was not there, he could still hear a little about the changes in the court from the sidelines. Of course, such joke-like stories would not reach Jiang Lin's ears.

"The Ninth Prince stayed indoors after court today, and no one came in front of the door." The secret guards were always keeping an eye on the Ninth Prince, and would report everything about the Ninth Prince to Jiang Lin, no matter how big or small.

"Okay, you guys keep watching without interruption. If you don't have enough manpower, go ask An Feng for help." Jiang Lin nodded and said.

"yes!"

At this time, Anliu had just returned from outside and rode in front of Jiang Lin without stopping.

"Master, the eunuch's former residence has long since disappeared. There was a flood there more than a decade ago, and the entire village is desperate. Finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Anliu didn't find any useful information and was not in a very happy mood.

"This result is not surprising." Jiang Lin said as he handed Anliu a glass of water.

"Thank you, master." Anliu had been riding non-stop all the way. When he came back, his lips were already chapped. When he came into contact with the water, he naturally drank it without hesitation.

But before drinking water, the undercurrent could continue to be bearable. After coming into contact with a little water, it became difficult to control himself and he wanted to drink more.

"Master, I..." Anliu held the empty cup, wanting to say something but stopping himself. But in the end he gave up and did not continue.

Jiang Lin seemed to have guessed it, so he turned around and poured him another glass.

"Thank you, master!" Anliu felt that the water was particularly sweet, and he felt happy in his heart, so he drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

After repeating this several times, the undercurrent seemed to have no intention of stopping, and Jiang Lin did not even bother to pour it for him.

"It's okay." Qin Xiangnuan said suddenly.

Jiang Lin and Anliu turned to Qin Xiangnuan, confused.

"Don't drink too much water, you can replenish it later." Qin Xiangnuan said.

Anliu looked down at the cup of water that was almost at his mouth, then looked up at Qin Xiangnuan, not knowing whether to continue holding the cup.

Qin Xiangnuan smiled helplessly, "You can finish this cup."

Anliu stared at Qin Xiangnuan for a few seconds before tentatively moving closer to the cup and slowly drinking up the water.

"Miss Qin is actually jealous, and it's because of me. She really... loves the master too much." Anliu thought in his heart.

Jiang Lin's idea was similar to Anliu's. He put the kettle back in its place with a smile on his face.

Qin Xiangnuan didn't know what they were thinking, she was just explaining science to them.

"Anliu seems to be a little dehydrated now. It is not advisable for him to drink a lot of water at one time. You can replenish it slowly later." Qin Xiangnuan said.

After she finished saying this, Jiang Lin and Anliu were stunned. This was completely different from what they had expected.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but turn his head away, feeling a little ashamed of his thoughts.

Anliu exclaimed openly, "Miss Qin, why is that? I've never heard of such a statement before."

Qin Xiangnuan thought: I must have heard of it before, but I don’t encounter these things often, so they are easily forgotten.

Qin Xiangnuan explained simply, "Because your body is currently dehydrated, if you take in a large amount of water at once, it won't reach the places that need it. Instead, it will accumulate in other places like your head and heart that don't need too much water."

Anliu nodded as he listened, and was also curious about what would happen to such a person.

"In mild cases, people may experience dizziness, vomiting, and hallucinations, while in severe cases, they may fall into a coma or even die," said Qin Xiangnuan.

He was secretly frightened, but fortunately Qin Xiangnuan reminded him, otherwise he would have fallen asleep because of being immersed in Jiang Lin's care.

"Miss Qin, I'll remember that!" Undercurrent will always keep it in mind. Suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have felt dizzy before. At that time, he just thought it was because he was too tired. Now when he thinks about it, he feels a little scared.

Sure enough, people can't be too lucky. Luck may come once, but not too many times.

So Anliu asked Qin Xiangnuan how to remedy the situation specifically?

Qin Xiangnuan smiled and told him what he should pay attention to.

Jiang Lin remained silent, but seemed to have listened carefully to Qin Xiangnuan's words.

Jiang Lin not only listened, but even thought more deeply about it, and he got a hint of inspiration from it.

After Anliu finally stopped asking Qin Xiangnuan questions, Jiang Lin's thoughts were almost sorted out.

"Undercurrent." Jiang Lin called out.

"Here." Anliu immediately straightened up and listened quietly to Jiang Lin's instructions.

"You go and find a way to make that eunuch 'drained'." Jiang Lin said.

Anliu was puzzled at first and even asked Jiang Lin, "Master, do you want me to take all their water..."

As he was talking, Anliu suddenly realized that Jiang Lin didn't really want to cut off their water supply, it was just an analogy.

"Master!" Anliu exclaimed, interrupting Jiang Lin before he could start to explain. "I understand! I'll find a way to do it right away!"

Isn’t it just that we can’t find the eunuch’s birthplace and can’t find any information about him?

These are not the most fundamental things, and their original intention is not to find out where he came from. Since this is broken, they don't have to spend effort looking for him.

Now is to find out what they desire most. When they are extremely lacking, and when given a little hope, they will absorb it like a hungry wolf.

However, in the end, they will find that the very thing they are fighting for with all their might will eventually become the weapon that kills them.

"Nuannuan, my previous thoughts were all wrong." Jiang Lin chuckled and said to Qin Xiangnuan, "It happened more than ten years ago. Even if I figured it out, what's the point? Besides, I'm not involved in the situation, so I don't need to find out the reason."

Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows and laughed, "That's not wrong to think so. It's just that when we encounter something unclear, people always want to find out the truth."

Jiang Lin nodded. He thought so at first.

"But perhaps after all the truth comes out, you'll find that it would have been better if you had known nothing at all."
