drowning.
Lin Zhiya's breathing stopped for a moment.
She had not really thought about letting Zhao Chen die. She was too young to have the idea of being a widow. Zhao Xiaoxiong was only four years old and could not live without a father to protect her.
No matter what, Lin Zhiya had to go to the imperial study.
But before he reached the imperial study, he ran into Zhao Chen's imperial carriage on the road. He was heading towards the palace gate, preparing to leave the palace to check on the situation of the canal.
Due to continuous rainfall, the water level of the moat outside the palace rose a lot. Zhao Chen was worried that it would rain again, so he arranged for people to clear the channel for drainage.
No one expected that Lin Yiyuan's astrology skills were so accurate. According to the reports sent from the disaster areas, there have been heavy rains in southern Anhui for several days.
When Lin Yiyuan returns from the disaster relief mission, he will have to ask him in detail about this astrology, Zhao Chen planned in his mind.
Suddenly he heard Lin Zhiya calling him from outside, "Your Majesty."
...
...
Zhao Chen was in a good mood. He stretched out his arm to pull Lin Zhiya up, and the two of them sat next to each other on the imperial sedan chair.
The eunuchs outside couldn't help but murmur in their hearts when they saw this, Concubine Lin... Oh no, she's Concubine Wan now, and she even sits on the imperial sedan chair. Even Concubine Nian didn't have such treatment back then.
On the imperial carriage, Lin Zhiya's anxious voices reached Zhao Chen's ears one after another.
[How should I persuade him not to leave the palace? What excuse should I make up?]
[We are too tired. For safety's sake, let's not leave the palace. This won't work. Zhao Chen looks very energetic. If I had known, I wouldn't have given him the energy potion yesterday.]
[Don't get close to the water, it's dangerous. ]
…
Lin Zhiya pursed her lips and her palms were sweaty. Zhao Chen, who was sitting next to her, remained silent and touched her hair with pity.
Zhao Chen: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Although he didn't know why Lin Zhiya suddenly worried about him, Zhao Chen enjoyed this hard-earned emotion.
Zhao Chen was both amused and confused. Lin Zhiya was fine yesterday, but she became like this after not seeing her for a night.
Lin Zhiya gave him a look of disdain. The dog emperor clearly knew nothing, but he was able to read people's faces.
Lin Zhiya took the opportunity to say, "It's very hot today. Why don't we go out later? I remember that the red panda has a pony. We can go and watch him learn to ride a horse."
Zhao Chen gently refused, "We should finish today's work today. Besides, Yuanling just fell off his horse yesterday. We can ask him to go with us to clear the canal. A ruler needs to know everything about the world."
Lin Zhiya's eyes were complicated, with a hint of resentment.
The father failed to persuade him and even dragged his son into it. After a while, Zhao Xiaoxiong freed himself from the pile of homework assigned by the tutor and came to Lin Zhiya excitedly.
Although Zhao Xiaoxiong's facial features are like Lin Zhiya, his expression is like Zhao Chen. He looks a little sharp, and because he is only four years old, his skin is soft and tender, which makes him look both cute and cool.
The eyes that would charm thousands of girls in the future were only looking at Lin Zhiya at this moment, with a twinkle in their eyes, and they asked lovingly: "Mom, can I sit on your lap?"
Zhao Chen frowned and was about to scold him when he saw Zhao Xiaoxiong's feet off the ground, being held obediently on Lin Zhiya's lap.
Lin Zhiya: "My dear son, I will hug you tightly. I miss you so much."
Although Zhao Xiaoxiong tried his best to restrain himself, he couldn't help shaking his legs happily. He responded shyly, "I miss mommy too. I have too much homework recently. I really want to come to see mommy."
Lin Zhiya: "Mother, I see that you have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep well?"
Zhao Xiaoxiong's nature made him automatically act pitiful in front of his mother, "There are mosquitoes in the house at night. Can I go to sleep with my mother today?"
Lin Zhiya agreed repeatedly: "Where did you get bitten? Let mother take a look."
Zhao Chen discovered that as soon as Zhao Xiaoxiong appeared, Lin Zhiya no longer had eyes for him. He turned his head coldly, feeling very depressed.
When they arrived at the place, Lin Zhiya saw a river not far away. Because the water level had risen, the surrounding soil was very moist, and passers-by were very cautious.
In an instant, Lin Zhiya put this river on the dangerous list.
She stared at Zhao Chen with burning eyes, fearing that Zhao Chen would slip.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen was not that stupid. He just looked around. At this time, the official in charge of clearing the canal came forward and proudly introduced how he set it up and how to divert the river water.
Lin Zhiya had just put her mind at ease when she heard him ask Zhao Chen to come closer for a look.
Don't come closer to take a look! Lin Zhiya gritted her teeth and stared at Zhao Chen, ready to grab him as soon as he came forward.
[Don't go to the river. Don't go to the river.]
Zhao Chen heard Lin Zhiya's anxious voice and was even more surprised. He took two steps forward at the invitation of the canal dredging official.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiya took a step ahead of him, stood by the river, squatted down and looked at the river.
Zhao Xiaoxiong suddenly lost his mother's hand and wanted to catch up, "Mom, what are you doing?"
However, the soil was a bit slippery, so Zhao Xiaoxiong stopped helplessly and kept calling Lin Zhiya: "Mom, mom, come back quickly, the river is so dangerous."
Lin Zhiya looked up, her eyes flashing with panic: "Don't come over, little panda, there are a lot of water snakes in the river."
Zhao Chen's eyes flashed, and seeing that Lin Zhiya didn't dare to move, he strode forward and hugged her, moving the limp Lin Zhiya away from the river bank.
Lin Zhiya seemed to be frightened and about to cry, "Your Majesty, the river is full of water snakes. Let's leave quickly, or we might get bitten."
Zhao Chen comforted her, his voice trembling slightly, "Zhiya, where does it hurt? Where were you bitten?"
Lin Zhiya hesitated: "On the legs."
Zhao Xiaoxiong's eyes were filled with tears, but he acted calmly: "Don't panic, mother. I'll ask someone to find the imperial physician."
Zhao Chen picked up Lin Zhiya and walked towards the nearby room. He had an intimidating aura and his eyes showed nervousness.
The official in charge of clearing the canal was confused. He had been there for so long, but he had never heard of any snakes in the river?
Zhao Chen put Lin Zhiya on the bed and began to look for the place where she was bitten by the snake.
Lin Zhiya's skin was delicate, and there was no red mark on her legs, let alone any bite marks. Zhao Chen searched back and forth several times, comforting her.
"There are usually no poisonous snakes in the river. Don't be afraid. I'm here. Everything will be fine."
Lin Zhiya wanted him to stop looking. Her neck turned red. There was no snake at all. She just came up with this bad idea because she was afraid that Zhao Chen would fall into the water.
It was nonsense to say that she was bitten by a snake. She just wanted to divert Zhao Chen away.
The two people were very close to each other, and Lin Zhiya was held in the arms of Zhao Chen, who was worried about her. She could hear Zhao Chen's strong heartbeat and smell the familiar scent on him.
Lin Zhiya's heart was pounding. How could she create a wound if there was no wound?
