The people couldn't help but feel frightened.
Such rain has not been seen for many years! If they had stayed at home, or even if the prince had not come to Pingzhou, they would probably have been swept away by the surging river!
Not to mention the property, even your life will be gone!
The prince was methodical in his work. When it was raining heavily, he tried his best to arrange boats to search and rescue people. Fortunately, strict orders had been issued before, and people downstream had been evacuated. Only some stubborn people who refused to listen to advice and secretly stayed at home suffered. However, despite the rescue, the number of casualties was not large.
There were also soldiers patrolling the refugees' temporary residence. They were all frightened by the sudden flood, and almost no one caused trouble.
The rain lasted for more than half a month, and even the sound of dripping rain later made people nervous.
The haze did not completely dissipate until the sky cleared up completely.
There is mud everywhere.
The prince arranged for people to clean up, and the doctor Xiao Pingji was even more busy. This humid environment was most likely to breed dirt. He was busy every day, taking people to spread medicine powder and deliver medicine bags everywhere. The beard on his face was getting longer and longer, and he had no time to clean it. A young man in his early twenties looked like a forty-year-old man from a distance.
At this time, the capital had already received the news.
At the imperial court, when the urgent letter about the flood in Pingzhou arrived, all the civil and military officials were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
Xiao Cunyu was half lying in the cell, holding a book in his hands, and was reading with great interest.
"Sir, sir, your brother is here, and there are many people guarding outside. They must, must let you out!" Before the jailer opened the door, the ghost next to Xiao Cunyu was already calling out.
Only then did Xiao Cunyu slowly close the book.
He looked at the prison uniform on himself and felt a little disgusted.
This place is dark and dusty. Even new clothes will soon have a rotten smell. It is considered good now. The fishy smell in the past was unbearable.
She sat up straight and smoothed her hair, making it look much smoother.
Her every move affected almost everyone in the cell, who were afraid that she would do something weird again.
Especially now, seeing how carefully she was handling herself, the prisoners were a little frightened and hurriedly checked themselves, wondering if one of them had offended the girl by urinating or defecating casually again.
"Miss Xiao! Your family is here to pick you up! There was a flood in Pingzhou, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made preparations in advance. There were very few casualties. You have made great contributions, and the adults are going to let you go!" The jailer smiled flatteringly at Xiao Cunyu.
When these words came out, the prisoners' eyes widened.
Is this girl so amazing?!
Thinking about it this way, it seemed like Miss Xiao had anticipated that she would be able to leave soon. She was really a prophet!
Xiao Cunyu stood up, and sure enough, the next moment, his uncle and elder brother appeared in front of him.
Uncle Xiao was practically going crazy. Of course he was happy that his niece had predicted the disaster, but thinking of the people of Pingzhou, he had to worry and feel relieved. He had to separate his joy from others so that others would not misunderstand him. At the same time, he was very satisfied with Xiao Cunyu's calm attitude and even a little surprised. However, after a moment of joy, he began to feel sad and regretful. When he thought that the child was a girl and the fifth branch had no male heirs, he felt anxious again...
"You have suffered." After some hesitation, Uncle Xiao's words sounded a bit perfunctory.
Xiao Cunyu even suspected that her uncle was mocking her on purpose...
"Is the prince okay?" Xiao Cunyu asked subconsciously.
Uncle Xiao was stunned for a moment. Xiao Jingyun, who was standing beside him, nodded immediately. "Your fourth brother wrote to say that His Highness is doing well. He was assassinated three times while traveling, but His Highness was safe and sound. There was even one time when a dagger was almost stabbed at his face. Your fourth brother was so scared that he almost lost his soul. But he didn't expect His Highness to be such a master and escaped unharmed... There are also some problems with the officials in Pingzhou. His Highness is rectifying them, and he won't be back for a while..."
