After a moment, Emperor Wu of Liang said in a deep voice, "Raise your head."
Lin Taotao looked up at Emperor Wu of Liang tremblingly, and was so frightened by his cold eyes that she immediately drooped her eyelids.
Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Lin Taotao, who was dressed simply and had slightly trembling eyelids, and he had no interest in her at all.
If it were in the past, he might have been interested in teasing her, but he wasn't in the mood right now.
What he needs now is a capable person who can solve the problem, not a woman who is mysterious and cunning to win his favor.
"You think dreams can predict things that haven't happened yet? Do you think so?"
"It's absolutely true." Lin Taotao swallowed nervously.
"Then tell me, when will the natural disaster end?"
Lin Taotao's heart skipped a beat. She thought Emperor Wu of Liang would ask her about the theft in the national treasury. She had already made up an excuse, so why was he suddenly asking about the natural disaster?
She knew that there would be a drought across the country, but she really didn't know when it would end.
When she died, there was a drought throughout the country.
It’s all the Xiao family’s fault, otherwise why would she die so early.
Lin Taotao licked her lips, rolled her eyes slightly, and said nervously,
"I only dreamed of a drought, but I haven't dreamt of when it will end yet."
"Huh!?" Emperor Wu of Liang's face darkened.
Lin Taotao kowtowed hurriedly, her voice trembling as she said, "I was frightened by the miserable conditions of the people in my dream, so I woke up..."
Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Lin Taotao intently. After a while,
"The rain turns into a thousand!"
"The servant is here."
"Lin Taotao has been imprisoned in the Biyue Palace and has been ordered to be strictly guarded."
"Your Majesty!" Lin Taotao suddenly looked up and looked at Emperor Wu of Liang in shock.
She has such powerful abilities, shouldn't she be made a concubine to win her over?
How could she be imprisoned? Are you kidding me?
Emperor Wu of Liang waved his hand and said, "When she predicts when the natural disaster will end, she can report back."
Judging from the weather, there is no way to escape the natural disaster, so he must make plans early.
Now that the national treasury is empty, taxes from all over the country should be paid as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when a natural disaster strikes, it will be difficult to collect taxes...
"twitter!"
Yu Huaqian walked over to Lin Taotao and said, "Please come in, Miss Lin Er."
Lin Taotao bit her lower lip and stood up with an unwilling look on her face.
She followed Yu Huaqian out of the imperial study, looking back every few steps at Emperor Wu of Liang softly, hoping that he would change his decision.
Unfortunately, she didn't see Emperor Wu of Liang anymore, nor did she hear him trying to persuade her to stay...
........
"It's safe inside the cave. We can go in. We'll rest here tonight."
Xiao Yunzhan came out of the cave, and while helping Old Madam Xiao walk into the cave, he turned his head and spoke to the people behind him.
He found this cave halfway down the mountain and went in to take a look around.
It doesn't look like there are any animals living in the cave, and the space is quite large, so a family can live in it without being too crowded.
It is getting dark now, and it is not suitable to continue on the journey. It is not certain that we can find such a safe place to spend the night ahead.
Although it is July, the hottest month of the year, Lin Yiran still felt a little chilly when she walked into the cave.
The temperature in the cave is six or seven degrees lower than outside. It will be difficult to endure the night.
After climbing the mountain for half a day, the sisters-in-law were so tired that they couldn't speak. As soon as they entered the cave, they all collapsed on the ground.
The two children, however, had slept in Lin Yiran's arms all the way and now looked very energetic.
Xiao Lingyan very sensibly took the quilt from her aunt's hand and found a flat place to spread it out.
Lin Yiran looked at the thin quilt on the bed, which was no longer recognizable as it was before, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.
It’s hard for my sister-in-law. She was so tired that she almost fainted, but she still dragged the quilt tightly.
"I'm going out to find something to eat. Don't come out of the cave. It's not far down to the deep mountains. It's very dangerous."
After Xiao Yunzhan helped Old Madam Xiao sit on the quilt, he turned around and gave instructions to everyone.
Starting from tomorrow, they will be walking in the deep mountains, one mountain after another, and the further they go, the more dangerous it will be.
It hasn't rained for such a long time that the animals in the mountains are very irritable and the situation will be several times more dangerous than usual.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran and his second sister-in-law,
"Thank you for guarding the cave entrance with your swords. I'll use hay to block the outside. If any wild animals come, call me..."
If his family wasn't extremely hungry, he wouldn't dare leave.
Now that the family is together, if he asks the gods for food, and food suddenly appears in the cave, it might scare his family.
After all, his family had previously thought that the food was sent by his men.
There is plenty to eat in the mountains, so he can support himself and cannot rely too much on the help of gods.
The second sister-in-law handed the sword in her hand to Lin Yiran.
"Don't worry, fourth brother. I can still handle a mere beast."
"You have to be careful and don't go into the mountains. There are a lot of wolves at night." The second sister-in-law looked at Xiao Yunzhan with concern.
He is the backbone of the family now, and nothing can happen to him again.
Lin Yiran took the sword and curled the corners of her lips, "Don't worry, if the beast comes, don't even think about leaving. Give us a snack tonight..."
She can kill a beast with one punch.
To be honest, even though she was rich and beautiful before, she had never eaten rare wild animals. After all, eating those things is illegal and it is easy to get caught.
From now on they will be walking on mountain roads, so she can satisfy her craving for food.
