Chapter 229: Have you caught the earthworm?
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"Set out immediately."
******
The news of the severe drought in Qi County quickly spread to a small area in Tiandu.
Especially in the palace, the news soon reached everyone's ears.
When Jiang Xianhao learned that Chen Hechuan had already arrived there, he couldn't help but look worried.
Seeing this, Jing Tan immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Royal Highness is blessed by heaven and will be fine."
"You've only just gotten better. Don't overthink it now. You should get more rest."
Jiang Xianhao nodded and suddenly asked a question out of the blue.
"What is your majesty doing?"
Upon hearing this, Jingtan looked at Yunshu.
"Qi County is suffering from a severe drought. Your Majesty must be busy with official business right now, so he has no time to come."
Yun Shu also nodded.
"Yes, I heard from the imperial physician that he reports to His Majesty every day about your condition."
"So, your Majesty, don't worry. When His Majesty is done with his busy schedule, he will definitely come to see you."
Jiang Xianhao nodded.
She didn't want Emperor Rongcheng to come.
Rather, Emperor Rongcheng had not come over for a while, which made her vaguely feel that something was abnormal.
She remembered that the last time Emperor Rongcheng behaved so abnormally was shortly after their wedding.
At that time, they were at their most affectionate.
When they were together, the outside world said that Emperor Rongcheng forced Jiang Xianhao to take away the fiancée of the former crown prince Li Wenci, and they were quite dissatisfied with Emperor Rongcheng.
However, he insisted on his own way and forcibly made Jiang Xianhao the queen despite the opposition of his ministers.
But in fact, although Jiang Xianhao was emotionally broken at that time, he was not opposed to being with Emperor Rong Cheng.
Even deep down, there is a hint of happiness.
She just couldn't accept Li Wenci's suicide, nor could she accept Fu Shiyu's disappearance.
She was very angry at that time and did not say a word to Emperor Rongcheng, nor did she want him to get close to her.
But he locked her up regardless of her struggles. No matter how she screamed and made a fuss, Emperor Rongcheng did not let her out.
Later, she got tired of making trouble and learned her lesson. She opened the window little by little when no one was paying attention.
At night, she finally escaped through the window, but saw Emperor Rongcheng sitting on the ground at the door, with his eyes closed and sleeping soundly.
He seemed very tired, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of fatigue.
At that moment, Jiang Xianhao's heart softened immediately.
In fact, she knows everything.
She understood that Li Wenci was not murdered by him.
Although his death was ultimately related to him, it was also forced by the situation.
Emperor Rongcheng at that time made the decision that was most beneficial to the people at that time.
However, I have been branded with a bad reputation because of this, and will inevitably be criticized and scolded by future generations, or even be infamous for eternity.
However, Emperor Rongcheng is the lover in Jiang Xianhao's heart.
So, seeing how Emperor Rongcheng wanted to accompany her even though he was exhausted, but was afraid that she didn't want to see him, so he curled up and guarded the door, she couldn't help but be moved.
So, she kicked Emperor Rongcheng.
"Hello!"
She said.
"Did you catch your earthworms?"
Emperor Rongcheng opened his eyes in confusion, and after seeing Jiang Xianhao, he blinked in confusion, as if he still thought he was in a dream.
He immediately stepped forward and buried himself in her arms.
"Ah Hao, you finally took the time to talk to me. I really didn't mean it."
"When I captured Tiandu that day, I immediately went to rescue Li Wenci."
"But no matter how hard I try, I can't save someone who wants to die."
He closed his eyes and murmured.
"Oh well, he's just a coward. Please don't like him anymore, okay?"
“Don’t marry him.
I've heard for a long time that he has other women, and the love he can give you is only a little bit."
"But I'm different."
"Look, I am an emperor now, but you are the only one in my heart.
"Also, I won't have another woman in the future. I will love you with all my heart."
"So, will you marry me?"
Jiang Xianhao looked at Emperor Rong Cheng, who had his eyes closed and was muttering to himself, and cried and laughed out loud.
"You fool, I've already told you, if you can catch a hundred earthworms and use them to catch a hundred koi, I'll marry you."
"You still think I've always liked someone else."
"For someone as foolish as you, you deserve to be embarrassed by me."
Although she said that, she still held Emperor Rong Cheng's face with heartache and gently kissed his eyes.
The gentle touch made Emperor Rongcheng slowly open his eyes.
When he saw Jiang Xianhao holding his face and looking at him with tenderness and love.
He couldn't help but gasp and muttered.
"This dream is a little too real."
Jiang Xianhao lowered his head, kissed him on the eyes again, and asked another question.
“Shen Wanshan, did you catch the earthworms I asked you to catch?”
Now, Emperor Rongcheng finally realized that Jiang Xianhao in front of him was real and not a dream.
He stood up suddenly, held Jiang Xianhao's shoulders with both hands, and looked at her again and again.
"Oh, have you forgiven me?"
"Have you promised to marry me?"
Jiang Xianhao rolled his eyes at that time.
I thought, have you asked me?
Just say whether you agree or not?
Emperor Rongcheng didn't wait for her answer, but smiled happily like a child.
Then, he held her in his arms.
It was not enough to hold her in his arms, he lifted her up and spun her around in circles, which scared Jiang Xianhao so much that she turned pale and kept hitting him.
"What are you doing? Put me down."
"Hahaha, put me down quickly, it's so high!"
Jiang Xianhao kept talking, but Emperor Rongcheng seemed not to hear him and kept repeating himself.
"That's great! Ah Hao agreed to marry me."
Jiang Xianhao was dizzy from being spun around by Emperor Rongcheng, and finally gave up and started laughing along with him.
The voices of the two quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding palace maids.
They came out yawning, and when they found out it was Emperor Rongcheng, they immediately retreated quietly.
After Emperor Rongcheng put Jiang Xianhao down, Jiang Xianhao steadied himself and snorted coldly.
"Don't be too happy too soon. I haven't promised you yet."
"I've already told you that I'll marry you when you catch a hundred earthworms and use them to get a hundred koi."
Jiang Xianhao repeated it again, but Emperor Rongcheng was still laughing wildly.
"Okay, I'll go catch it now."
As he spoke, he suddenly leaned over and kissed Jiang Xianhao on the cheek, then ran away quickly.
"you……"
Jiang Xianhao covered his face and turned to glare at him.
Emperor Rongcheng turned around and looked at her with a wanton arc on the corner of his lips.
His bright and delighted eyes, now filled with ripples more gentle than the sunset, rubbed into her suddenly beating heart.
