Yu Zheng’s first thought after hearing this was: There must be something wrong with the mountain, and even more so with the water.
Only by exploring it can we know why.
"Your Majesty, Father, how about we go up the mountain and take a look? I suspect the answer we are looking for is very likely on that mountain."
Yu Zheng sought the opinions of the two elders.
"Do you have any ideas?" The old prince just listened to what Grandma Ye said and looked at the mountains in the distance for a long time.
"I have some ideas, but I still have to see it to be sure." Yu Zheng had a rough guess in his mind.
But if she talked about chemistry, they would definitely understand.
She would have to go and see it for herself to find out.
"In your opinion, is there any danger on the mountain?" Emperor Qiming asked, retracting his gaze.
"On this island, apart from birds and a few animals raised by the villagers, there are no other ferocious beasts. There will definitely be no danger." Yu Zheng was very sure.
"Then let's go up and check it out." Emperor Qiming also became interested.
Although he was an emperor, he actually did not travel to many places and spent most of his time in the palace.
It was a rare opportunity to encounter such a magical thing, and his strong curiosity was aroused. How could he miss the opportunity to find out more?
He now feels very well both physically and mentally and dares to go anywhere.
Since passing the throne to the crown prince three years ago, he has lived a much happier life than when he was emperor.
You can go wherever you want without worrying about the size of the country or dealing with court officials.
After Emperor Qiming finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in front.
But Granny Ye and Granny Cui looked embarrassed.
"My dear grandmothers, are your legs and feet still okay? If you can't climb the mountain, you can go back first and we will go by ourselves."
Seeing that the two elderly people were hesitant, Yu Yuzheng took the initiative to consider for them.
Although they are only in their teens, anyone looking at them would think they are over 70 years old.
They are both relatively long-lived people on the island.
As you can imagine, most of the villagers died in their forties.
However, they felt embarrassed when they saw the retired emperor walking so briskly.
At the same time, he was also afraid of being blamed by the emperor.
They really didn't have the physical strength to climb the mountain, and they had an innate fear of the mountain.
According to the old sayings passed down by our ancestors, that mountain is very mysterious.
"It's okay. We know how to get back. You guys go back." Seeing that the two were embarrassed, Yu Yuzheng made the decision for them.
"Thank you, Princess. You must remember that the water in that lake is absolutely not drinkable." Granny Ye emphasized again.
"Okay." Yu Yuzheng turned around and quickly followed the emperor's footsteps.
The two old men watched the emperor and his entourage walk further and further away.
"Sister Ye, do you think they can really find out the problem with Haiyue Island?" Granny Cui looked at the group of people walking away.
They have lived here all their lives and have deep feelings for this place.
They certainly don't want the villagers to become extinct after many years.
"I hope I can find one. Don't you think they are all smart people?
We have been born and died on this island and have no knowledge or experience.
Ever since the Emperor came, I feel that they are very different from us.
You see, all the men here are sensible and know when to advance and when to retreat, and they are respectful and obedient to the retired emperor and the old prince.
And have our fellow villagers ever treated us two like this?
This is what our ancestors called imperial power.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the princess is easy to talk to. Look at her two maids, they always put their master first and obey her orders.
Our villagers don’t understand these things at all. To put it bluntly, they have no rules and no manners.” Grandma Ye was full of emotion.
She is also a rare smart person, otherwise she would not be the master of this island.
Unfortunately, environment shapes people, so she is only slightly better than the average villager.
"Sister Ye is right, but there is nothing we can do." Granny Cui agreed.
The two of them were also the leaders elected by the villagers.
Even though there are less than a thousand people on the island, someone needs to take the lead so that there won't be too many conflicts and disputes.
"Let's go back. They will probably be back before dark. We have to ask each family to give us some more rice so we can prepare food for them in the evening."
Grandma Ye turned around, and the two of them walked back, supporting each other.
The emperor and his entourage went down the mountain, walked through a flat valley, and then climbed up the mountain where there was nothing on the top.
The higher you go, the fewer plants there are.
They also grow shorter, clearly lacking nutrition.
Like a tree growing on a cliff.
When they climbed halfway up the mountain, they saw a small stream flowing downstream.
However, the route the water flows through is not the same as the route they took to go up the mountain.
In fact, there was no road at all; they just chose the easiest place to climb up.
The water in the stream was crystal clear, and there was nothing at the bottom. Normally, there would be some moss on the edge of the stream, but here there were only small stones or rocks that had been washed clean.
The three children were very lively and didn't complain of being tired at all. On the contrary, Yu Zheng was panting from climbing so hard.
"Mother, do you want me to support you?" Shangguan Changyu deliberately stopped and waited for Yu Zheng.
"You go your way, I'll support your mother." Shangguan Ziqi didn't let him interfere.
He immediately supported Yu Zheng and climbed up.
"The child feels sorry for me." Yu Zheng smiled and took the initiative to extend her right hand to her eldest son.
Among their group, Yu Zheng had the weakest physical strength.
No weapons at hand.
It took more than an hour to reach the top of the mountain.
"Wow, what a big lake." Shangguan Yajing was the first to climb to the top of the mountain and saw the clear blue lake.
Emperor Qiming and the old prince were also in good physical condition, and they reached the top of the mountain with the help of their guards.
"It's a nice place. Just look at this lake, the scenery is really beautiful. Hongyi, what do you think is the reason that such clean water cannot be drunk?" It was the first time that Emperor Qiming saw such a scenery. Standing on the top of the mountain, he felt relaxed and happy.
Yu Zheng and the other two were the last to climb up the mountain.
"It's really as the two grandmothers said. This lake is at least several hundred acres. If we can raise fish, it will be enough to feed at least hundreds of thousands of people a year." It was also the first time that Yu Zheng saw the Tianchi Lake.
The water of Tianchi Lake comes entirely from rainwater and rainwater from the surrounding mountains.
The formation of such a large lake must be due to geographical changes.
We rested for a while and enjoyed the scenery.
"Your Majesty, let's take a walk along the lake," Yu Yuzheng suggested.
"Um."
Once you reach the top, you no longer have to climb further. Yu Zheng felt a little more relaxed and walked in front.
When they reached a place relatively close to the water, they could touch the water surface with their hands. Yu Zheng squatted down and wanted to use her hands to feel what was different about the bottom of the water.
"Madam, no." Shangguan Ziqi stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zheng raised her head.
"Let me do it." Shangguan Ziqi pulled the man up.
Then he squatted down, stretched out his index finger, and lightly dipped it in the water.
I don't feel anything.
He put his whole hand into the water again.
Ice cold.
There is no obvious feeling.
"How is it?" asked Emperor Qiming.
"Your Majesty, I don't seem to feel anything special, just a little cold." Shangguan Ziqi answered truthfully.
"Let me feel it." Since there was no danger, Yu Zheng wanted to try it herself.
