It was said that there was a flood in northern Jiangsu, but the carriage could not move forward before it even reached the border of northern Jiangsu.
She then traveled by boat under the arrangement of the local prefect.
Standing on the deck at the bow, the princess looked into the distance.
Apart from the higher mountains that protruded from the horizon, nothing else could be seen. Only the muddy flood waters engulfed the world.
"Is this what the officials reported as 'the water level receding'?" The princess looked at the various pieces of driftwood floating on the turbid water. Some were obviously doors, while others looked like beams and walls of the wooden house.
There were also some corpses floating around.
The closer we got to northern Jiangsu, the more corpses we saw floating on the water.
After another night on the boat, they finally arrived in Huai'an City in northern Jiangsu.
Because the terrain here is higher and the embankment is well isolated from external floods, people in the city can still live normally.
At this time, in a house in the city.
Zhao Ju was welcoming the clerk who came to report the news.
"Master Zhao, the princess has already set out from Qiancheng and will arrive in Huai'an soon. The meaning from above is... if she really finds out something, we will do it once and for all..." The clerk made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhao Ju was shocked when he heard this: "That's the princess!"
"His Excellency's original words were: the new emperor is under his control. The Fourth Prince and the Emperor don't care about the affairs here, and she, a woman, is meddling in other people's affairs. She should be made aware that court affairs are men's business, and women should not interfere!"
Zhao Ju was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I understand."
At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside the house: "Sir, the lady is sick again."
"I understand. I'll go right away." After saying that, Zhao Ju stood up and sent the clerk who came to deliver the letter away.
Then he turned and walked towards Su Muyan's yard.
"I don't want to eat, I want to take medicine!"
Before I even entered the door, I heard Su Muyan's angry roar.
He walked forward quickly and saw that everything in the house had been smashed to pieces by Su Muyan again.
Seeing him enter the room, Su Muyan glared at him with her sunken eyes: "Zhao Ju! You made me take the medicine, why don't you let me take it now!"
Zhao Ju stepped forward and held her in his arms, comforting her softly, "Yan'er, as long as we can survive this year, just one year, we will be able to break free from the control of that drug."
"Look, are your drug addiction symptoms much milder now than before?"
Su Muyan trembled in his arms: "But it's really uncomfortable, cousin, this feeling is really worse than death..."
"Just be patient, it will pass..." Zhao Ju advised softly.
Zhao Ju wished he could beat his former self to death!
In order to get Yan'er, he actually tricked her into becoming addicted to drugs. What a beast he is! He deserves to die!
Up to now, he still didn't dare tell Su Muyan that she was pregnant.
But seeing her becoming more and more haggard and her health getting worse day by day, she still kept tossing and turning.
Zhao Ju asked tentatively, "Yan'er, shall we have a child?"
Su Muyan spoke weakly, "What status do I have when I give birth to your child? As a concubine who is not worthy of respect?"
"Of course not!" Zhao Ju explained gently, "I, Zhao Ju, will only have you in my life. When the situation in the capital stabilizes, I will marry you in style and you will become my, Zhao Ju's, legal wife! Our children will belong to the Zhao family in the future..."
"That's enough!" Su Muyan sneered, "Someone like me can't be a good mother, and I don't want children."
She raised her eyes to look at the stiff-faced man, and a sarcastic arc appeared on her lips: "If you want children, you can find another woman to bear them."
"I just want our child." Zhao Ju hugged the person tightly, feeling the body in his arms getting thinner and thinner, his heart ached and reluctant.
Continue to test: "What if we accidentally have a child?"
Su Muyan struggled to avoid being held by him, and shouted loudly: "There is no such possibility! I said I don't want a child!"
"Okay, okay, no! Don't get excited!" Zhao Ju hurriedly soothed her emotions in a soft voice, "Yan'er said no, then no."
