Yan Shiyue was startled, "What happened?"

Ding Xiaoyan rushed closer and saw that everyone around him was his own people. Then he whispered, "Oh no! The prince is missing!"

What?

Yan Shiyue hurried into the palace.

Emperor Mingyan was dispatching people, and when he saw the two people coming in, he asked, "Yuer, do you think something will happen to the crown prince?"

"No!" Yan Shiyue said anxiously: "It definitely won't happen! Big brother will be fine!!"

Emperor Mingyan nodded silently. Just as he was about to speak, Huo Qijing had already knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead people to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Mingyan pondered for a moment.

In the military system of Dayan, the Dragon Guards were equivalent to the emperor's private guards, the Left and Right Yulin Army were responsible for the security of the imperial city, the Left and Right Longwu Army were responsible for the security of the capital, and the Left and Right Shenwu Army were equivalent to a mobile team that carried out emergency tasks. Most of them were cavalry with outstanding combat effectiveness.

Emperor Ming Yan glanced at Yan Shiyue and said, "Okay."

...

...

He then selected a team of Dragon Guards to assist him, and also brought along the Prince's Shadow Guard who had returned with the news. After Huo Qijing made some arrangements, he left the city an hour later and rode at full speed towards Bianzhou.

Yan Shiyue asked in detail.

When it comes to disaster relief, the prince always leads by example. He does not just listen to reports from officials, but often goes to the site to investigate and has direct contact with the victims.

There is a place called Sanxing Tower over there, where a large group of disaster victims gathered.

But the three towers over there are all pavilion towers, that is, they are in the style of a pavilion, with only pillars but no doors or windows, so they cannot shelter from wind and rain. They are also built on the mountain, so it is very cold, and they are in a separate place, so it is not easy to take care of them.

So the local officials thought about moving the people down and finding another place to resettle them, but these people thought that this place was high and would be safe during a flood, so they refused to come down.

Then the prince went in person to persuade them and got them to come down. However, when he was returning to the governor's mansion, the prince disappeared.

Because all the shadow guards were sent out, there were only two shadow guards left by the prince's side.

It only takes less than two hours to ride from the Sanxing Pagoda to the Governor's Mansion on horseback, but the prince would sometimes stop along the way to deal with some matters he saw, and sometimes even stay overnight, so the shadow guard did not notice anything wrong on the first day.

But the prince did not come back the next day. A group of shadow guards and palace soldiers searched for a long time but found nothing. It was as if the prince and his two companions had disappeared out of thin air.

At this time, the subordinates also brought up the map. Emperor Ming Yan looked at the map carefully and circled a place with a pen: "It is here."

Yan Shiyue didn't quite understand the map at that time. After careful analysis, he found the governor's mansion and saw the places marked on the map where the flood had passed. It seemed that the place where the prince went should be safe.

But how could such a good person disappear out of thin air? ?

Yan Shiyue was so anxious that she almost wanted to spin around. She was also worried about Emperor Ming Yan, so she tried her best to comfort him: "Aye, my brother will be fine. A Jing will definitely save him!"

Emperor Mingyan silently put his hand on her shoulder and listened to her mumbling for a few words. When she seemed to have recovered, he said, "I understand. Yue'er, go out."

Yan Shiyue nodded.

She walked to the door and looked back. Emperor Ming Yan was already reviewing memorials and his expression had calmed down.

She went directly to Yonghe Palace.

The mother and son have been together for so many years, and their love is not fake. The imperial concubine is also very anxious.

Yan Shiyue was worried about the two of them, so he stayed in the palace for several days in a row. He also had to visit the Eastern Palace from time to time to comfort the Crown Princess.

News from Bianzhou was rushed to the palace at a speed of 800 miles every day, but there was no news from the crown prince. No matter how much they suppressed it, rumors began to spread throughout the court and the country.

A day later, the third prince came to see her.

Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty finally agreed to choose a place to dig a tunnel to temporarily accommodate the victims. Yan Chengyuan asked people to walk around and chose a small hill with dense soil and prepared to let everyone dig there.

Although the victims have to dig the soil themselves, good planning is still required to make full use of the area and avoid any danger.

Emperor Ming Yan assigned this task to the third prince, and the third prince came to ask her to go with him.

Yan Shiyue refused outright: "Why should I go? I don't understand this!"

The Third Prince begged her with a drooling face: "Yuer, please help me. Why did you help the Fourth Prince with the disinfectant powder? Now it's my turn and you just ignore me. You can't do this. I am also your brother."

Yan Shiyue was speechless: "I made the disinfectant powder, so of course I have to go, but I really don't understand anything about digging holes."

"I don't understand either," said the Third Prince, "Don't worry, I've brought someone who understands. We can just go and watch. Aren't you Empress Fu? These disaster victims listen to you. I haven't done anything for a long time. I'm unsure. Please help me this time."

Yan Shiyue said anxiously: "But I am worried about Grandma and Grandmother."

"I'm worried too! But even if you stay with them every day, you can't help them. It's better to take care of the victims first."

She still didn't want to go, and tried to pull away, but the Third Prince blocked her way, bowing and kowtowing, "Yuer, please help me this time. Father is in a bad mood right now, and I just want to get things done well and not cause more trouble."

Yan Shiyue thought so too and had no choice but to follow him.

The Third Prince was not wrong. He did bring workers who were familiar with this area. They just needed to make a good plan, such as where to dig, how much to dig, how to transport the soil, and where to transport it. All of these needed to be drawn out in detail, and the traversable route also needed to be drawn.

Because this kind of hole is actually dug into the shape of a jar with an arched top, some are connected and some are not, and this is not clay soil, so if it is not planned well, it is easy to collapse.

Yan Shiyue herself is a charging type of person. Even if she really doesn't want to come, once she really comes, she will do her best to get things done in one go.

She ran on the mountain with the third prince and the craftsman. She ran as long as the craftsman ran. While the craftsman was drawing the ground, she asked for advice. At first she could only ask questions, but by the next day, she could give suggestions.

The Third Prince was skilled in archery and horse riding, and it was not that he could not run, but he imagined that it should not be like this... As a superior, he only needed to show up on the first day, and then occasionally inspect, meet the foreman, and grasp the general direction, right?

It would be better if she did it this way, following from the beginning to the end... It's possible, but it's not necessary. Really.

Will she go back and dig the soil with the victims?

He thought to himself that he finally understood why she was on good terms with the Fourth Prince. These two people were just like that.

Finally I understand why she knows so many strange things. She came to dig a hole, and she acted like a disciple, asking questions non-stop... asking questions to get to the bottom of things. Fortunately, this is not a skill, otherwise she could have directly become someone's apprentice.

But he didn't regret asking her to come. He had to do this mission well, and with her coming, at least there would be no accidents.
