Chapter 15 Investigating the Source of the Flood



Bai Jinjin arrived at the flood site and looked at the source of the water that was still gradually expanding from a distance. She thought about the thoughts that Ye Jiuge had told her.

They discovered that this might be the only solution. After confirming it, the two decided to return to the palace and tell Bai Juncheng that they had a solution.

Just as the two entered the city gate, the carriage was surrounded by a group of people. Ye Jiuge got off the carriage with his sword.

Seeing that they were all familiar faces, he curled his lips into a smile, turned back to the car and said, "Jinjin, come out."

After hearing this, Bai Jinjin walked out with peace of mind, but was shocked by the scene in front of her. The group of people in front of her were actually the officials that Bai Jinjin rescued from the prison that day.

Bai Jinjin looked at them with some confusion.

"I wonder what you gentlemen want to see me about?"

The officials pushed and shoved, and finally a minister was pushed out.

He clasped his fists and explained to Bai Jinjin, "We heard that Her Royal Highness is looking forward to the flood. To thank Her Royal Highness for helping us, we are willing to use our entire family fortune to support Her Royal Highness's plan."

Hearing this, Bai Jinjin looked at Ye Jiuge helplessly and saw him nod.

Then he turned around and said to the officials, "Thank you all for your support. Now that the plan has been finalized, I will return to report to my father. If I need you in any way, please bear with me."

When the officials heard this, they all agreed

"Don't worry, Princess. We will do whatever it takes."

Bai Jinjin nodded and said, "In that case, I will report to my father and take my leave now."

The officials watched Bai Jinjin leave. After Bai Jinjin had walked quite far away, one of them said, "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, there's a reason why Your Highness dotes on her."

"Yes, Her Highness the Ninth Princess has been kind enough to help us, so she can't be that bad-hearted."

"But you can't say that. What if Her Highness the Ninth Princess is doing this to prepare for the future?"

"Even so, the princess saved our lives, and we should repay her kindness."

Finally the officials sighed.

"The Ninth Princess will definitely be a dragon among men."

Bai Jinjin patted her chest in the carriage and calmed herself down.

Ye Jiuge was very confused.

"As a princess, it's normal for someone to kneel down to you. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Bai Jinjin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Although I am a princess, I have never punished anyone for scaring them. Except for Zi Ling, the maids in my Chaoyang Palace are all exempt from kneeling."

Ye Jiuge was very curious because Bai Jinjin was simply the least like a princess.

"Why did you turn a blind eye when Zi Ling knelt down?"

Bai Jinjin stared at Ye Jiuge with wide eyes.

"Brother Ye, don't you know? Zi Ling is the head maid in the palace. If the maids under her jurisdiction make mistakes, Zi Ling will be punished, and then she will take charge of the other maids."

When Ye Jiuge heard this, he understood that Bai Jinjin was implementing a management system.

At this moment, Bai Jinjin moved closer to the distance between them, ignoring Ye Jiuge's sudden stiffness, and asked ambiguously: "Brother Ye, you remember Zi Ling's name, but are you interested in Zi Ling?"

Ye Jiuge's body was originally stiff because of Bai Jinjin's approach, but he didn't expect Bai Jinjin to ask such a thing. He frowned and didn't want to answer this question.

But Bai Jinjin thought that he was interested in Zi Ling, and she felt a little sour in her heart. Bai Jinjin felt that this was like a good brother having someone he liked, and they couldn't go out and play together.

There was silence in the carriage. Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin, who looked a little depressed, and sighed.

"I know Zi Ling's name because you always mention it and it's hard to forget even if I want to. I don't even know what that Zi Ling looks like."

Bai Jinjin heard this answer and asked in a sullen tone, "Really?"

Ye Jiuge found that he had squatted for many times after he realized that he knew Bai Jinjin and sighed.

"Really? And I really don't have any interest in that girl called Zi Ling."

When Bai Jinjin heard this, she immediately felt much better.

She didn't understand why she cared about Ye Jiuge's answer. She was so thick-skinned that she thought he was her good brother and they could hang out together.

Ye Jiuge's eyes lit up when he called out to Bai Jinjin, and he patted her head with a smile.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, please be aware that I am a hostage of a neighboring country."

This sentence sounds like a joke and a warning.

Bai Jinjin patted his hand nonchalantly.

"Oh, so let's go tell my dad quickly."

Xuanzheng Hall

Bai Juncheng, who was checking memorials, frowned so hard that he could pinch a fly to death, and looked quite troubled.

When Bai Jinjin arrived at the entrance of Xuan Zheng Hall, she trotted towards Bai Juncheng.

“Daddy!”

Bai Juncheng hadn't seen Bai Jinjin for a day and was very surprised to hear Bai Jinjin's voice.

Seeing Bai Jinjin running towards him, he bent down with a smile and waited for Bai Jinjin to rush over.

As soon as he stood firm, Bai Juncheng held him in his arms.

Bai Juncheng touched Bai Jinjin's hair and asked, "Jinjin, did you miss your father today?"

Bai Jinjin quickly nodded to show that she thought about it.

Looking at Bai Jinjin's cute appearance, Bai Juncheng laughed out loud.

At this time, the little person in his arms patted Bai Juncheng's shoulder and signaled Bai Juncheng to put her down.

After Bai Juncheng directed her, Bai Jinjin called Ye Jiuge who was standing beside her, and then looked at Bai Juncheng.

"Dad! We've found a way to cure the flood!"

When Bai Juncheng heard this, he looked at Ye Jiuge. Seeing Ye Jiuge nodded, Bai Juncheng was even happier.
