Chapter 303 This Princess Doesn’t Like to Listen to Her
Jin Congcong wanted to cry while grinding the medicine powder. He also learned from his master since he was a child, and he was two years older than Bu Bu and Jin Er when he started learning. How come he became like this?
Just as Jin Congcong was working and thinking about things, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, scaring everyone.
The court doctor walked to the door of the tent, lifted the curtain and took a look...
"Oh my god, the sky was sunny just now, how come it suddenly turned dark? It's not even 3 p.m. yet, and it looks like it's going to rain heavily."
"I heard that before the heavy rain in Yicheng, the sky suddenly turned dark, and then the rain never stopped. Although it's a little lighter now, it hasn't stopped. I heard from the refugees who fled that the sky in Yicheng was like it was leaking. It was scary."
Bu Bu and Xiao Jin also stood at the door and looked out. The sky outside was becoming increasingly gloomy, and there was a faint sound of wind.
Xiao Jin's face was extremely serious: "Someone come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a secret guard in black appeared in front of them.
"Pass the word down. Have everyone reinforce all the tents. Organize people to dig drainage ditches. Besides reinforcing the food tents and herb tents, cover them with tarpaulins. Don't let them get wet."
"Also, send someone to the porridge stalls to inform them to open the government office so the disaster victims can take shelter there immediately. Tell the people on the street to go home and take shelter in the safest houses immediately. Then have the prefect take people to the lowest part of the town and move everyone to higher ground. Do it quickly."
The Beining envoys and Wei Jieying watched Xiao Jin calmly arrange things as if they saw the decisive and ruthless regent. Although he was only three years old, his aura was not to be underestimated.
Not to mention that they didn't react to the level of handling of this emergency, it is impossible for any official in Beining to make such detailed arrangements in such a short time.
"Princess, it looks like it's going to rain heavily soon. Let's go back first. After all, you are still injured and it's safer in the inn."
But Guo Shuangwen didn't know what was wrong with him, his eyes were full of stubbornness: "I won't leave, I want to see how far they can go. Let's follow these two children. The Regent Princess loves her two children so much, they must be the safest place where they are."
The envoy thought about it and saw that the sky seemed to be pressing down on him. He could only bite the bullet and walk over: "Young Master, Young Princess, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it back in time today. Can you let us go in and take shelter?"
"Don't worry, we definitely don't have any intention of stealing the herbs. We are really just taking shelter from the rain. Little princess, think about it, if our princess... you may not get the compensation."
Bu Bu originally didn't want to let Guo Shuangwen and the others in, but when she heard about the possibility of compensation, she thought about it and nodded.
"You can come in to take shelter from the rain, but if you dare to have any other evil ideas, I will have Aunt Bi'er kill you with a knife. Although I don't want anything from Beining for nothing, I'm not that short of money."
"Originally, I wanted to donate the compensation money. Even if I didn't have that money, I would have given it to those poor children. I'm sure my brother wouldn't blame me then."
"Also, tell your nosy princess to shut up if she has nothing to do. I don't like to hear her talk. Otherwise, even if it rains heavily, I will have her thrown out."
Wei Jieying was shocked. He remembered that the Emperor of Great Zhou had said he would give this little princess 100,000 taels of gold as compensation. 100,000 taels of gold, and this little princess actually wanted to donate it all...
In Beining, whether it is the royal family or the nobles, if they had so much silver, who knows how they would squander it.
After Xiao Jin prepared the medicinal herbs for Bu Bu, he stood in the tent with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky outside and the people busying around. There was no expression on his tense little face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Feeling that there were more and more hidden auras around him, Xiao Jin called the secret guard: "Where is my mother now?"
The secret guard glanced at Bu Bu and whispered, "The princess left as soon as it got dark, and she even asked her subordinates to send more people to protect the two young masters."
"Don't worry, young master. Your subordinates have personally supervised the reinforcement of this tent. The drainage ditch has been dug directly to the underground culvert. This place is on higher ground, so even heavy rain will definitely not flood here."
"Before leaving, the princess gave the same instructions as the young master, and also said that if anything went wrong here, we should follow his instructions."
Xiao Jin waved his hand to let the secret guard go away. The frown on his tense little face became even tighter. The secret guard's words also made Bu Bu and Jin Congcong nervous.
"Brother, where is mom? Is she in danger? Why don't we go find her? Daddy is not here, so we have to protect her."
For the first time, Xiao Jin didn't agree to Bu Bu's request: "Be good, sister, let's stay here and wait. Mother will be fine."
Seeing Bubu's listless look, Jin Congcong put down the herbs in his hand and walked over: "Today, do you know where Ruo'er went?"
Xiao Jin nodded: "Although I don't know where my mother went exactly, but I know what she is going to do. What she wants to do... Bu Bu and I can't do it at the moment, so we can only stay here and wait for the time being."
Bu Bu closed his eyes after hearing it, and after a long time...
"I can't see my mother every step of the way, but she is in the city now, and she is in the highest place in the city."
"If Bubu is right... Mother is stalling for time to give us ample time to prepare. I just don't know how long she can delay."
"The change from heavy rain in Yicheng to light rain must have been caused by Dad. This heavy rain... is really inexplicable and a bit strange."
Jin Congcong was shocked: "Bubu, are you saying that your mother went to the highest place in town, to... stop the rain? This... today, is what Bubu said true?"
Xiao Jin nodded: "Sister, you're right. Logically, the rain should have started an incense stick ago, but now..."
Jin Congcong raised his head and tried to look outside. The sky outside was still as dark as before. Although there were dark clouds overhead, there was not a single drop of rain, as if it was just to scare people.
"Humph, what's so strange about this? Even in Beining, it's cloudy but not rainy. It's not too fantastical to attribute all the credit to the princess. Do you really think your princess can do anything?"
"Maybe it's just cloudy and will clear up in a while. Don't scare yourself here."
Xiao Jin glanced at Guo Shuangwen calmly: "No, this rain will definitely fall, and it will last for a long time. If it weren't for mother... this place would be like Yicheng. This is why mother asked every town to stop raining."
