Princess Medical Doctor

Unlike Imperial Concubine Zhou's impractical idea, the Empress was so angry that she almost lost her breath when she received the news.

"Xiao Tianyao, you, you bully people too much!" The Empress sat up abruptly, her face contorted, her hands tightly grasping the quilt, barely restraining her murderous anger.

"Empress, what should we do now?" The always steady Old Mama panicked at this moment.

This was an era where the imperial power was supreme. If the imperial edict was issued, even if the Empress have earth-shaking abilities, they can't do anything inside this small Luanfeng Hall.

"Xiao Wangye has already made a move, how can I be worthy of him if I don't accept it!" The Empress said through gritted teeth.

"Empress?" The Old Mama had a bad feeling.

"The east has been in peace for so long, it's time for some natural disasters and man-made disasters." The Empress's face was sullen, showing a murderous look and the Old Mama shook her head, and said after she stabilized her mind: "Empress, do you want to…"

The Empress thought for a while and said: "Let the people in the south…"

However, before she finished speaking, a little eunuch hurried over: "Your Majesty, something big happened, something big happened!"

"Why panic? Tell me what's going on." The Empress's heart trembled, but her face was calm.

She was about to close the palace to reflect on herself. If she doesn't act calm at this time, the people below her will be chaotic.

"Empress, the Xinan River suddenly broke its embankment and dispersed the Imperial Envoy of the Central Empire. According to the news from the Tiancang Pavilion, the young prince who mixed with the mission has disappeared!" In the end, the little eunuch cried out.

They were all the Empress's confidantes, and they know very well what the arrival of the Imperial Envoy represents.

"What? The Xinan River broke the embankment? How could it break the embankment?" The Empress sat on the bed as if struck by lightning, and then laughed loudly: "How could Xiao Tianyao not know when the Imperial Envoy will arrive in the East? I underestimated him."

She always thought that Xiao Tianyao's power was only in the capital, but she didn't expect that Xiao Tianyao's power outside was not small. Not only did he know the news of the Imperial Envoy's arrival so quickly, but he also disturbed their way without anyone noticing.

"He even dared to move the Tiancang Pavilion, how could Xiao Wangye have only one hole card? I miscalculated!" The young prince of the Central Empire disappeared, and the Imperial Envoy could not enter the capital for a while, so Prince Xiao could continue to be arrogant.

"Empress, things may not be as bad as you and I thought. The young prince of the Central Empire is missing, and there is no need to hide the whereabouts of the Imperial Envoy. The people of the Imperial Envoy can directly express their intentions, which can also suppress Xiao Wangye's arrogance." The Old Mama calmed down at this time.

"Do you know why the members of the Imperial Envoy concealed their whereabouts?" The Empress looked at the Old Mama, her eyes full of sadness: "It's not what they wanted, but the result of a game between the princes of the Central Empire. Tiancang Pavilion said that the Central Empire wanted to clean up Xiao Tianyao, but some people want to protect him. The Imperial Envoy is here to take Xiao Tianyao to the Central Empire for questioning, not to punish him."

If the Imperial Envoy came to punish Xiao Tianyao for his crimes, then the members of the Imperial Envoy don’t need to hide it at all, just make a high-profile announcement.

However, the Imperial Envoy doesn't have that much power. They came here politely to ask Prince Xiao to go to the Central Empire for questioning. As for the result, it was hard to say yet.

Under such circumstances, not only did it not have much effect, but it gave Xiao Tianyao a chance to make preparations beforehand.

Their original intention was that the Imperial Envoy will suddenly arrive in the capital and took Xiao Tianyao away without his knowing so that Xiao Tianyao had no preparations and no time to appease his subordinates.

In this way, the Empress’s faction can seize the opportunity to snatch the resources from Prince Xiao, but she didn't expect… …

Seeing that Imperial Envoy was about to arrive in the capital, something like this happened.

"This is by no means an accident!" Thinking of what she had just thought, the Empress became more and more sure that the breach of Xinan River's embankment was man-made.

"Is Xiao Wangye warning us?" The Old Mama was terrified.

Prince Xiao's consecutive shots were telling the Empress that he knew what they did with Tiancang Pavilion.

"It doesn't matter whether he is warning or making a move. Since Xiao Wangye has made a move, we don't have to be polite. Didn't the Xinan River burst its embankment? Then let the diversion of the Yangtze River burst." The Empress said without blinking.

The Old Mama was startled suddenly: "Empress if the diversion of the Yangtze River broke its embankment, the people living nearby will suffer."

This was no different from Xinan River breaking its embankment, but there were very few houses near Xinan River, only fertile land, and the damage will only be on the harvest of this year.

"So what?" The Empress knew about it, but the Old Mama couldn't help persuading: "Empress, the Yangtze River diverges too widely, and the impact is too great. Once the embankment bursts, hundreds of thousands of people will have no place to live. At that time… the east might be unstable."

At that time, people will not be able to eat enough to eat, and they will not be able to rely on their bodies, which will inevitably cause chaos.

"It's just hundreds of thousands of people will make trouble. Are my people in the country can't even ride out the refugees?" The Empress didn't think there was any difficulty.

Ordinary people were nothing more than those who dare to make trouble. It was enough to kill them.

"Empress, in this way… when His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince takes over the throne in the future, it will be a mess." The Old Mama was not the Empress. She was just an ordinary peasant girl before entering the palace. She has suffered and knows the suffering of the people outside.

When the Yangtze River diverges and breaks its embankment, how many people have to sell their sons and daughters?

"If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, how can I show my son's relenting power? I have made up my mind on this matter, don't persuade me anymore." The Empress's attitude was firm, and she never gave anyone a chance to say no.

When the Old Mama saw this, although she had a thousand words, she could only say one sentence: "This old slave is going to do it." Even if she was devoid of conscience, she still wants to do it well.

"Go!" The Empress closed her eyes, her complexion improved a little.

Not long after the Old Mama left, the guards brought the imperial edict and sealed the Luanfeng Hall. The Empress didn't struggle or even asked more questions.

On the contrary, the Seventh Prince rushed over after receiving the news. Seeing that the Luanfeng Palace was sealed off, and he was being brought to Imperial Concubine De's palace, he cried and made noises, completely losing his usual composure.

Inside the palace, the Empress heard the sound but didn't say a word, and let the seventh prince cry.

Her son has grown up, and it was time to leave him alone!

Xiao Tianyao knew everything that happened outside the Luanfeng Hall, and he also knew that the Old Mama who was next to the Empress had quietly left before the Luanfeng Hall was sealed.

However, Xiao Tianyao didn't intend to chase her back, but just let people continue to stare, and finally followed her to find the Empress's stronghold.

The power in the hands of the Empress was too great, and the relationship behind it was complicated. Even he can't figure out how many people the Empress has, so he will let the Empress play around these days.

This time, if the Empress hadn't been too aggressive, he wouldn't have taken out the imperial edict to lock the Empress up.

After all, it was not good to force the queen to jump over the wall and do something irrational… …
