Chapter 389 I'll Help You Think
Late at night, it started to drizzle.
In the fine rain, a figure was running quickly in the dark night.
He was extremely fast, like an arrow piercing the clouds, and in the blink of an eye he arrived outside the city gate.
"Urgent news from Jingzhou, open the city gates!"
The man brought out an urgent order made of red gold.
After the officers and soldiers guarding the city checked and confirmed that there was no problem, they immediately sent a team of troops to follow the other side and gallop into the city.
The sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
Inside Fengluan Palace.
Xiao Jin had already fallen asleep holding Su Ying in his arms.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is urgent news from Jingzhou."
The eunuch's voice sounded outside the door. When he called for the second time, Xiao Jin had already opened his eyes.
Xiao Jin carefully let go of Su Ying, stood up, took his outer robe, put it on, and walked out.
"Your Majesty, urgent news from Jingzhou."
Xiao Jin walked in the night rain to the imperial study. The messenger was already kneeling in the hall, "Your Highness."
"What's wrong?"
The man took out a letter tightly wrapped in brown paper and handed it to Xiao Jin.
When Xiao Jin opened it, his face turned cold.
"Your Majesty, the flood season in Jingzhou this year came earlier than in previous years. The new dam is almost completed, but when the gate was opened, the new dam had problems. Now the original plan of the dam has been lost and there is no way to repair it in a short time. Lord Zhu immediately asked me to send a message back to Your Majesty. Please give Your Majesty's instructions."
After Su Yulun was seriously injured, Xiao Jin immediately sent Zhu Lin to Jingzhou to supervise the construction of the dam. According to original expectations, the new dam was to be completed around the end of last month, so it could be put into use by the middle of next month.
However, some problems arose during the process and the workers building the dam went on strike. It took nearly half a month before they resumed work. Now the flood season has arrived early, catching them off guard.
"How is the rain in Jingzhou now?"
"The rain was heavy, but fortunately it was intermittent, which gave us some space to release the floodwater. We are still using the old dam for support, but it has also had some problems. Lord Zhu has already brought people to repair it."
"I understand, please leave."
"yes."
Xiao Jin put his hands behind his back and concentrated, "The original map of the new dam is in Su Yulun's hands."
Zhang Shuming said: "Yes, the Prime Minister was fully responsible for this matter from the beginning."
"Send someone to have Su Yulun bring the original map of the new dam to the palace immediately."
"yes."
Xiao Jin had been waiting in the imperial study, but he did not see Su Yulun deliver the original painting until before the morning court session.
When the eunuch who went to deliver the message came back, Su Yulun had fainted and never woke up.
Xiao Jin directly asked him to bring the imperial physician to the Prime Minister's Residence, as the situation in Jingzhou could not be delayed at all.
Su Ying knew that Xiao Jin left at night, but she didn't know the reason.
I just feel that it is difficult to be an emperor. Not only do I have to get up early, but I can't even have a good sleep.
Xiao Jin came back during breakfast.
Su Ying noticed that his brows were twisted tighter than a knot. She rarely saw such an expression on his face.
"Has something happened?"
Xiao Jin raised his head upon hearing that, trying to make himself look more relaxed, but his brows were still furrowed.
"There was a problem with the new dam in Jingzhou. The original construction plan has disappeared. Now there is only one original plan in Su Yulun's hands, but he has been in a coma since yesterday."
You can't find the drawings if the person isn't awake yet.
Su Ying frowned, "He is unconscious?"
"kindness."
"What's the reason?"
"The imperial physician said it was qi deficiency, but he couldn't be sure that this was the cause of the coma."
Su Ying counted the days. It had been many days since she treated Su Yulun's injuries. His face was covered with scabs. He was not weak at all.
"I'll go over there in a bit, just in time to check him over."
Xiao Jin nodded, "Yes."
After eating, Su Ying left the palace.
When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the Su family members except Su Yulun came out to greet them.
Su Ying ignored them and went straight to Su Yulun's house.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Where's Su Yulun?"
"My lady, the master is still unconscious."
Su Ying sneered, "Really? Why didn't you come to the palace and tell me when the person was unconscious?"
Su Ying pushed the servant aside and walked straight in.
Su Yulun was lying on the bed.
The wound on his face had already scabbed over and looked extremely hideous, as if a giant centipede was lying on his face.
Su Ying stretched out her hand towards Su Yulun, and just when everyone thought she was going to take Su Yulun's pulse, she suddenly pinched Su Yulun's elbow and squeezed it hard.
"ah!"
Su Yulun screamed in pain and jumped up from the bed. The pain made his face even more distorted.
"What is this, Queen? You knew that father was seriously injured, yet you still hurt him like this. It's really too much." Su Yuyan walked out with an indignant look on her face and protected Su Yulun.
"The emperor was worried about Prime Minister Su's injury, so he asked me to come and see him. I was just treating him. Wasn't he unconscious? Now, he is awake."
Su Yulun's arms were shaking slightly from the pain, and he glared at Su Ying fiercely, wanting to hammer her to death!
"You all go out." Su Yulun didn't want to embarrass himself in front of so many Su family members, so except for Su Yuyan, everyone else went out.
Without anyone around, Su Yulun revealed his true face.
"We are father and daughter after all. Are you going to treat me and your sister like enemies forever?" Su Yulun's expression softened, and there was a hint of hurt in his eyes when he looked at Su Ying, like a helpless old father.
Su Ying calmly sat down on the chair. When she heard Su Yulun's words, she laughed sarcastically, "Su Yulun, listen to what I said. Isn't it disgusting?"
Su Yulun's face darkened. "What do you mean by that? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't exist in this world!"
"Don't talk nonsense to me. Bring me the original picture of Cangjiang Dam." Su Ying didn't want to say a word to him.
Su Yulun seemed to be unable to give a soft answer, so she could only say in a firm voice: "In the past, your favorite person was your sister. Now that you have entered the palace, she misses you every day and wants to enter the palace to be your companion. When you go back, tell the emperor that she doesn't need to have a high position when she enters the palace. She can start as a noble lady first."
Su Yuyan blushed as she listened, "Father, Yan'er doesn't want to be the emperor's concubine, she really wants to accompany her sister."
She looked at Su Ying and said, "Sister, please help me."
"What you mean is, if I don't bring her into the palace, you won't take the original picture?" The corners of Su Ying's mouth slowly rose up. People who were familiar with her knew that whenever she showed such an expression, someone would be in trouble.
Su Yulun frowned, "After I was seriously injured, I couldn't remember where I put the original picture. Please ask the emperor to let me think about it."
"It's okay. If you can't remember, I can help you remember."
