Chapter 131 The Dam in Jiandu Was Destroyed! It Was Not Simple!

"As a girl, you aren't allowed to do anything dangerous personally next time. If you are in danger, how can I accept it?" Empress Dowager then told Yang Zijin.

After hearing this, Yang Zijin went to Empress Dowager, clasped her hand around Empress Dowager's neck and said, "I see, grandma, next time I won't act so rashly!"

"That's better!" Hearing Yang Zijin's words, Empress Dowager gave Yang Zijin a reproachful look!

At this time, Empress Dowager looked out of the door and found that there was no Shuo Ling. She asked, "Where is Shuo Ling? Didn't he come with you?"

"Yes, but we met Eunuch Li halfway. He left with Eunuch Li." Yang Zijin stood up and said.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Emperor must have called Shuo Ling for the victims of Jiandu."

"I think so." Yang Zijin then shrugged and said.

Hearing Yang Zijin's words, Empress Dowager looked at Yang Zijin and said, "Don't you know why I called you here?

"I don't know." Yang Zijin shook her head and said with a smile.

Empress Dowager said helplessly, "The wedding banquet can't be continued anymore because what you did. I want to discuss it with you again. Let's choose a good day and hold the wedding banquet again!"

"But now the Emperor must have called Shuo Ling for the victims of Jiandu. Maybe he will send him to solve it this time! I'm afraid your marriage will be delayed!" Empress Dowager sighed again!

After hearing this, Yang Zijin said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm not in a hurry."

"You are foolish. Do you know how important marriage is for a girl? You did such a thing. If you don't get married as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be some gossips!" Empress Dowager explained to Yang Zijin.

Empress Dowager took Yang Zijin's hand while saying, "No, I'll look for the Emperor first, and let him send someone else! I will not let you suffer any gossip!"

"Grandma, I know that Grandma is doing this for me. But now the flood in Jiandu needs to be solved by someone. How can it be delayed because of me? Even if there are rumors in the future, I will not care about this!" Yang Zijin looked into Empress Dowager's eyes sincerely.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager put Yang Zijin's hand on her hand and held it tightly, "Qingcheng, do you really think so?"

"Do you think that I am the one who cares about this?" Yang Zijin said.

Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sure enough, you are like your mother. You look like her in temperament."

"Of course, I am her child." After listening, Yang Zijin said with a smile.

Seeing that Yang Zijin began to be naughty again, Empress Dowager gently pushed Yang Zijin's forehead with her finger, "You girl..."

"Eunuch Liu, wait outside the Imperial Study. When Shuo Ling comes out, let him come to me. I want to ask him something!" Then Empress Dowager said to Eunuch Liu who was aside.

Yang Zijin looked at Empress Dowager quizzically, "Why did you ask him to come here?"

"It's to ask him for his opinion, and let him give me a reply, so that I can rest assured." Empress Dowager explained to Yang Zijin.

In Imperial Study.

"Your majesty, did you call me for Jiandu?" Shuo Ling came to the Imperial Study and saluted Chushi Youtian.

Hearing Shuo Ling's words, Chushi Youtian opened his eyes and said, "Shuo Ling, I want to send you to relieve the people in stricken areas and investigate clearly about the dam. I don't think it is so simple!"

"Your majesty thought there was something else in it?" Pretending to be in surprise, Shuo Ling asked.

Chushi Youtian said to Shuo Ling, "Yes! Last year, the dam had been repaired, and this year, funds had been allocated to repair it! Even if the money was embezzled by officials, the dam should not be destroyed in the early stage of precipitation! I suspect it was someone from Xiling who did this to cut off the food for soldiers on the frontier. Maybe they will take advantage of this opportunity to invade us!"

"Okay, I will investigate this clearly." Shuo Ling said firmly after listening.

Then Chushi Youtian said, "Besides, find the local officials and take them to Jing City. I'll ask who gave them the courage to hold this thing back!"

"I see!" Shuo Ling nodded.

Chushi Youtian supported his forehead with his left hand and said, "You go back to prepare first, and then I will order people to prepare enough money for disaster relief. You'd better set off tomorrow morning."

Shuo Ling was about to leave when Chushi Youtian said, "I almost forgot your marriage with Qingcheng. I'll choose a good day when you come back from Jiandu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll leave to prepare now." After hearing this, Shuo Ling couldn't help sneering and said calmly.

Chushi Youtian still did not forget to sound out his intentions at this time.

It seemed that his appearance in Yang Zijin's room last night had been suspected by Chushi Youtian!

Chushi Youtian said, "Just leave!"

Looking at Shuo Ling's back, he couldn't help sighing. Just now, he deliberately tried to sound out Shuo Ling, but he didn't find anything in his face!

Was it just a coincidence that he appeared in Qingcheng's room yesterday?

This time, he sent Shuo Ling to Jiandu. On the one hand, he could see his loyalty. On the other hand, when Shuo Ling was no longer in Jing City, he could make a thorough investigation!

But there was another thing. Chushi Youtian frowned again. Now he knew that the card was held by Yang Zijin, but she would definitely be on guard after the last incident!

It seemed that he should find a reason to let Qingcheng go to Jiandu with Shuo Ling, so that it can be convenient for him to start his work!

What was more, he could find out how much Shuo Ling knew about the card!

However, this thing couldn't be known by Empress Dowager. If she knew, she would not let Qingcheng go to Jiandu with Shuo Ling.

Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian said coldly, "Prepare the Imperial Edict for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." On the side, Eunuch Li heard it and said quickly.

As soon as Shuo Ling walked out of the Imperial Study, he saw Eunuch Liu coming towards him.

Eunuch Liu said with a smile, "Your Lord, Empress Dowager said that she wanted to talk with you about something!"

"I see." After hearing this, Shuo Ling replied coldly. Then he walked to the Palace of Comparison and Tranquility!

In the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

Yang Zijin was talking to Empress Dowager when Shuo Ling came in, "Your Royal Highness."

He saluted Empress Dowager while saying!

"When will you leave?" Empress Dowager turned around and said, looking at Shuo Ling.

Shuo Ling said, "Tomorrow morning!"

"I see. When do you plan to marry Qingcheng?" Empress Dowager said, looking at Yang Zijin.

At this time, Shuo Ling smiled slightly, and then he said, "When I come back from Jiandu, I will choose a good time, and then marry Qingcheng!"

"Well, nice!" Empress Dowager said with a smile.

Then he said, "Since you are leaving tomorrow, you can come home to prepare first. Qingcheng, you can leave with Shuo Ling."

"Okay, Grandma. I will leave first." Yang Zijin said and walked out!

Shuo Ling also saluted at this time and prepared to leave.

Before they left the room, they heard Empress Dowager say, "Shuo Ling, you must be careful when you go out this time. Because of this flood in Jiandu, it is inevitable that some vicious people will take the opportunity to loot."

"Thanks for your concern. I will come back safely!" Shuo Ling stopped and said.

Then Empress Dowager waved and said, "Just leave."

Yang Zijin and Shuo Ling left the Palace of Comparison and Tranquility!

At this time, Eunuch Liu, beside Empress Dowager, said with a smile, "Your Royal Highness, Infanta Qingcheng and Marquis Shuo are well suited to each other!"

Hearing this, Empress Dowager smiled again!

Not far from the Palace of Comparison and Tranquility, they saw Chushi Weiyang coming from the opposite side.

When Chushi Weiyang saw them, he came to them with a smile, "Oh, hello, Your Highness... No, it's not right. I should call you Mrs. Marquis. No, no, according to my friendship with Marquis Shuo, I should call you sister-in-law!"

Hearing his words, Yang Zijin couldn't help but give him a cold look!

Seeing Yang Zijin ignore him, Chushi Weiyang went on to say, "Sister-in-law, when you appeared at the party just now, you were so cool. Besides, you were the first person who dared to ignore Marquis Shuo, even on the wedding day!"

After hearing this, Yang Zijin secretly glanced at Shuo Ling. At this time, Shuo Ling's eyes were cold enough to freeze people.

Then Yang Zijin cursed this Chushi Weiyang in her heart, "Even if you didn't speak, no one would think you were dumb!"

"I think you are too idle. It seems that I need to find something for you to do!" At this time, Shuo Ling said coldly.

Chushi Weiyang quickly laughed and said, "No, no, I'll leave!"

Hearing what Shuo Ling said, Chushi Weiyang ran away. He didn't want to face the wall or be grounded again.

After Chushi Weiyang left, Yang Zijin looked at Shuo Ling who was still unhappy. She asked in a low voice, "Shuo Ling, do you still mind my escaping?"

"What do you think?" Hearing her words, Shuo Ling coldly responded. Then he went on walking forward!

Hearing his words, Yang Zijin couldn't help but yell in her heart, "He must be angry. She had heard that anyone who provoked him would not be able to save his life."

Shuo Ling was such a face-saving person. She made him make a fool of himself in front of many ministers. Even if she could be alive when she married him later, she couldn't stand his coldness like this every day!

"Don't be in a daze! Follow me!" Shuo Ling walked a few steps away. He saw she did not follow him, and then he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. Seeing Yang Zijin's changing face, Shuo Ling couldn't help smiling! Then he called her.

Hearing his words, Yang Zijin regained her composure, "Ah... oh!"

Then she quickly walked a few steps and followed Shuo Ling!

Anyway, today she was sorry for Shuo Ling, so it was better to be obedient for the time being!

But Shuo Ling had never been angry from the beginning to the end. He knew about Yang Zijin's temperament. If it was not that something had happened, she would not have done such a rash thing!

When he saw that she was dressed in red and came back on horseback, and she was wearing the Sounding with Steps that the late Empress Dowager had given to his family womenfolk, he found she was so imposing!
