"Your Highness... Your Highness, it's time to get up."
Qin Zhaoyue woke up groggily and saw that familiar face again when she opened her eyes.
My mind went blank, and a question automatically came to mind: How old are you?
Why is it always you!
"Tsk."
Broken Ink: ...
Okay, the familiar sixth princess is back.
Sui Mo carefully discerned the emotions in her eyes, originally expecting her to fall into sorrow or even become despondent.
But now there is no sign of anything amiss, as if the effects of the treatment have been completely eliminated after a nap.
Is that really the case, or is the princess just too good at hiding it?
Considering the reputation of this person in the capital, Suimo was undecided for a moment.
Qin Zhaoyue looked out the window; there was only a sliver of light. Her heart skipped a beat.
"What time is it? If you dare say it's before Chen Shi (7-9 AM), I'll make you carry manure."
She considers herself to be reasonable; the Chen Shi hour is from seven to nine o'clock, which is basically comparable to the biological clock of cattle and horses in her previous life.
If it were earlier than this, hmm!
Broken Ink: ...
"Maochu."
His unfocused gaze suddenly sharpened like a knife, piercing her with a sharp, piercing gaze.
"Your Highness, I can explain!"
Instead of picking up manure, Suimo recounted what had happened yesterday when she was spied on.
"You mean there's a martial artist of at least the fifth rank secretly watching me, wanting to kill me?"
"The purpose is unclear, but at the time there were no other important targets in the treatment area besides His Highness."
Qin Zhaoyue's expression shifted between light and shadow.
She only watched the first dozen or so free episodes of the short drama, and hadn't even gotten to the crucial parts yet.
There is absolutely no clue as to who is the mastermind behind the attack on the Sixth Princess.
The pharmacy owner had disappeared, and the Duke of Zheng's mansion was not something a powerless princess like her could investigate.
Now that the trap in the capital has been broken, the other party will probably stop for a while or even change their target. Why would they still be fixated on her?
Looking up at the other side, his eyes were full of suspicion. "You're not trying to avoid picking up manure and are just making up a story, are you?"
Sui Mo's chest tightened. "Commander Meng was there yesterday. He tracked after discovering the situation, but lost track of the person."
Um... Qin Zhaoyue didn't dare to tease her anymore.
Meng Jian is probably the most powerful cultivator in the relief team on the surface; if even he can't defeat him...
She instantly snapped out of it, realizing that she could distinguish between sleeping in and saving her life.
"So, why did you wake me up so early?"
"To ensure Your Highness's safety, there must be at least two experts by your side, since I might inevitably doze off sometimes when I'm alone."
Commander Meng had to rush to the landslide-dammed lake this morning to participate in dredging, so he planned to go with him.
With me, Mo Zu, Commander Meng, the Princess's personal guards, and a large number of imperial troops, security will be greatly improved.
Alright, that makes some sense, so Qin Zhaoyue agreed.
We can always find another place to sleep; it's the same whether we sleep in a carriage or elsewhere.
The reason I arrived half an hour early is because I didn't wash up last night, and I definitely couldn't face anyone like that.
Not to mention losing her princess dignity, Qin Zhaoyue herself was also very uncomfortable.
Well, it was soaked in the smell of medicine and sweat...
The Ink Group had already prepared a bucket of hot water. Qin Zhaoyue was too lazy to move, so she stretched out her arms, closed her eyes, and let them do as they pleased.
Tao Yao helped her undress, but she couldn't carry the princess by herself. In the end, Sui Mo picked her up and gently placed her in the bathtub.
"Sister Suimo, why is your face so red?"
Upon hearing this, Sui Mo, who was standing guard at the door, let out a long sigh of relief. "Your face is burning from the heat. Have you prepared breakfast and dry rations?"
Having served His Majesty for a long time, especially since Suimo was on duty in the Imperial Study, he had gradually gained some understanding of various political affairs.
Even though the officials of the Tiangong Bureau had been calculating for several days, dredging and flood discharge was not a simple matter.
Now, of the three major problems in Mingyan County, drinking water and medical care have been solved, leaving only this most important one.
If things don't go well, we might have to camp by the lake.
Therefore, last night, Suimo gave instructions to prepare enough dry food and water to avoid having to return to the county office and increase the risk.
After a relaxing shower, changing into comfortable clothes, and enjoying a hearty breakfast, the group set off for the landslide-dammed lake.
It was almost dawn, and looking up at the sky, the gloomy weather didn't look optimistic.
Qin Zhaoyue, sitting in the carriage, was leaning to one side as always, a stark contrast to her decisive and ruthless demeanor of the previous two days. She seemed spineless, though she was actually quite worried inside.
She has a broad knowledge base and understands a lot of things that are not available in this era, but when it comes to water management...
From ancient times to the present day, only three groups of people have truly and effectively controlled the floods: Yu the Great, Li Bing, the governor of Shu County, and the People's Liberation Army.
The rest is nothing more than the imperial court pouring money into it, and no matter how much, it seems to be overflowing anyway.
Qin Zhaoyue was somewhat worried because she didn't know how this world managed water disasters or whether the relief teams could successfully resolve the floods.
This time, almost all the personnel stationed at the county government office were dispatched.
Meng Jian and Pei Xueqiao were both present, and Qin Zhaoyue also brought Qingfeng Xiyu, Ping An, and Tao Yao.
Two quarters of an hour later, the team arrived at the shore of the landslide-dammed lake.
Qin Zhaoyue stood on the throne in the carriage and gazed into the distance, unable to see the end of the lake.
The landslide-dammed lake was larger than she had imagined, which explained why it had taken so long.
For safety reasons, the camp was set up 300 feet away from the lake. Upon hearing that she had arrived, the princess rushed over.
"Eldest sister."
She had just called out when she was met with an embrace. "Zhaoyue!"
