The prince refused the marriage for the goddess. When the news reached Chang'an, the emperor was furious. In the end, it would only cause the people and the prince to suffer.
The prince ignored the safety of the people for her, but she accepted it calmly.
With such behavior, is she a goddess or a demon? "
Li Junyan looked at her sternly, "As expected of a daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, raised by the Shangshu himself, she is indeed not an ordinary woman.
According to what you said, the only way for me to protect the people of the two states is to marry you obediently, right?
What you mean is that the Shangshu Mansion has all the power in the court and the country, and as long as I marry you, I can rest assured in the future, right?
Has the Great Zhou been searching for your Zhao family without my knowledge?
Zhao Wanxi, you are so arrogant.
Zhao Wanxi's body shook, and the blush on her cheeks due to excitement completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only endless paleness.
"No...no...that's not what I meant." Zhao Wanxi defended herself vehemently, "I just said that this is the Emperor's order for marriage, and you can't disobey the order."
Li Junyan sneered, "The Emperor is afraid of me, otherwise he wouldn't have banished me from Chang'an.
The Crown Prince and King Jing regard me as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, and want to get rid of me as soon as possible.
Even I don't know whether I will die at the hands of the Emperor or at the hands of the Crown Prince and King Jing, yet you say that by marrying you, I will be free from worries?
Reputation is important, but I think you will feel that your life and the safety of the entire Shangshu Mansion are more important.
If I were you, I would take advantage of the rejection of the marriage proposal and immediately return to Chang'an to cry bitterly, and ask the Minister to go to the Emperor and plead my case, so as to gain some guilt and compensation from the Emperor.
Instead of dragging the entire Shangshu Mansion onto this ship of mine that will sink sooner or later.
What do you think?
Zhao Wanxi was clearly sitting, but her body was still shaking at this moment, and she looked shaky.
"Impossible... Impossible, you must be lying to me.
You are the emperor's biological son, how could the emperor kill you? You just said that on purpose because you don't want to marry me..."
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Li Junyan gave Zhao Wanxi a final, indifferent glance, "But I have made up my mind. I will definitely not marry you."
Zhao Wanxi's face showed pain and her expression was extremely complicated.
Li Junyan glanced outside at this time and said, "It's been raining for several days now, but it's getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping."
Zhao Wanxi slowly raised her head and looked at Li Junyan with confused eyes, not understanding why Li Junyan suddenly mentioned this.
Li Junyan didn't look at Zhao Wanxi, but looked at Sang Jueqian. "Some low-lying areas have already accumulated water, and the river is almost full."
After hearing these two sentences, Sang Jueqian suddenly woke up from his dream, "Lezhi, do you mean... there will be a flood?"
Li Junyan's expression grew increasingly serious, "Although I can't be 100% sure, there are signs now.
If it continues like this for a few days, the house will be flooded.
Fortunately, Qianqian brought cement and built a second floor in the new house, otherwise, it would be unavoidable."
Sang Jueqian was not comforted by these words.
If it is really a flood, even if there is a second floor, it is unlikely that we can survive this disaster.
Although there are mountains near Tingzhou, and they stretch for a long distance, they are not high.
And these mountains are ordinary earth mountains.
If it rains continuously, the soil will become loose, and not only will it be impossible to go up the mountain to take shelter, but mudslides may even occur.
Thinking of the horror of the mudslide, Sang Jueqian's face turned pale.
"Lezhi, if the rain continues, there's a high possibility of a mudslide..."
Afraid that Li Junyan didn't know what a mudslide was, Sang Jueqian explained it in detail.
Li Junyan's expression was already solemn, and after hearing Sang Jueqian's explanation, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"The situation in Xizhou... is the same as here."
When Li Junyan said this, every word was filled with bitterness.
If it doesn't rain in Xizhou, the people can still move to Xizhou.
But the situation in Xizhou is the same as here. Not only can we not move there, we even have to think about what to do in Xizhou.
The combined population of the two states is as many as eighty to ninety thousand.
With so many people, where should we go?
The two were silent when Zhao Wanxi slammed the table and stood up, "Prince Chen, even if you don't want to marry me, there's no need to scare me like this!"
"To scare you?" Li Junyan sneered, "Who do you think you are? If I say I won't marry you, then I won't. Even if you stay here until you die, it will be useless. Would I say these things to scare you just to get you to leave?
Although you are the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, your father, this prince, does not take you seriously, let alone you? Don't take yourself too seriously. "
