"Has my sister discovered something?" His sister's expression was too serious; he hadn't mentioned it in front of their grandmother earlier.
"Big brother, was I that obvious?" Chen Siyuan admitted.
"Hmm." Chen Luyang was busy outside all day, and he noticed the difference in Nancheng.
"Perhaps the feng shui of Nancheng is too good, and many important people come to visit. I am worried that if I do something too ostentatious at this time, it may harm me."
"You mean..."
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment, and seeing that there was no one nearby, she said, "The old emperor's health is deteriorating day by day, and at this time the princes... sob sob..."

"No." Chen Siyuan shook her head.

Before long, the southern part of the city was flooded, and the people of the southern city faced problems with food and clothing.
At that time, there were too many merchants who, in order to make huge profits, directly raised the price of grain to an alarming level. Many people could not afford it, and many people died. Later, a plague broke out.
In her past life, she thought that because of this, she went to the capital with Song Ji and Tao Yifan.
