The moonlight shone straight into the house through the golden doors and windows, making Shen Yixiang unable to open his eyes. He tried to stare around for a while and found himself sitting on a throne with python pattern and brocade. He thought it was the palace servant who changed the wrong clothes for him, but he called him a few times but no one responded.

Just as he was hesitating whether to take off the python pattern robe himself, a beauty wearing a gauze and exposed her jade skin came out behind the screen.

"Who?" Shen Yixiang questioned softly. Facing the moonlight, he could only see a beautiful figure, and could not tell who this person was.

"Your Majesty, I am in love~" The beauty's charming voice echoed in the empty hall, and people suddenly felt empty.

"Love? My feelings are better? My feelings are finally better!" Shen Yixiang rushed forward with a smile to gently caress Concubine Jing's face, but he turned his head and avoided it.

"I have always been very good, but what's wrong with the emperor? It seems like I don't know me~" Concubine Jing lowered her head and said charmingly, and the fair skin on her neck was so lustful that Shen Yixiang was burning.

"Thank you for your hard work in my beloved concubine. The crime of more than a month has not been in vain." Shen Yixiang happily leaned forward and hugged Concubine Jing, hugging the beauty he had been thinking about day and night, and could tell his lovesickness.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing immediately dodged and did not dodge Shen Yixiang and almost fell to the ground.

"Don't make trouble for me, beloved concubine~" Shen Yixiang frowned slightly. On weekdays, Concubine Jing behaved properly. Even when she was in a crazy state, she was very well-behaved and sensible when facing Shen Yixiang. She had never teased the emperor like this inappropriate.

"When did I make a fuss?" Concubine Jing still lowered her head and smiled charmingly.

"Let me hug me quickly." Shen Yixiang said as he raised his hand and pinched Jing Fei's chin. He saw red tears flashing across the corners of his eyes. Then the corners of his curled mouth began to lie on the corners of his mouth, falling on the exposed ice skin. Every drop was instantly sucked in and turned into red flowers, blooming hideously.

"Are your beloved concubine injured? Tell me who is so bold and dares to touch my beloved concubine? I simply don't want to live anymore~" Shen Yixiang's desire was replaced by anger. He always wanted to find out who murdered Concubine Jing, but he had never succeeded.

Zhao Jing was just a guard, even if he admired the emperor's beloved concubine, he would not have made such a big name. Shen Yixiang thought for a long time and learned that he was just a scapegoat.

"I am now thanking the emperor for this!" Concubine Jing became more and more excited as she spoke, and flames began to rise all over her body, her hair, embroidered clothes and embroidered shoes were burning.

Shen Yixiang couldn't feel the existence of the flames. While helping him wipe the blood-colored tears, he gently persuaded him, "Don't be angry, everything will be fine."

"Can you?" The flames went out in an instant. Concubine Jing suddenly had her eyes stiffened and she stared at Shen Yixiang tightly. She felt distressed. As soon as she opened her eyes, Concubine Jing in front of her changed her appearance.

"Ling'er?" Shen Yixiang trembled with his hands to grab the person in front of him, "Is it really you? Ling'er, don't leave."

Shen Yixiang was awakened by his calls. It turned out that he had another nightmare. Looking at Concubine Jing who was sleeping beside him, he felt a little at ease. The fine cold sweat on his forehead showed how sad, fear and despair that the dream just now made him.

Recently, Shen Yixiang was extremely tired, and his worries were pressed on his heart one by one and it was impossible to resolve them. Concubine Jing's Jieyuhua had completely failed and he had no one to talk to.

In order to appease Jingfei, Shen Yixiang even went to the morning court to stop working and often absent for no reason, which made the ministers complain, but they dared not speak out.

When the third prince often reported government affairs in Xuande Hall, Concubine Jing was like a cat lying on Shen Yixiang's legs and sticking. When Shen Yixiang left her half a step, she was like a crazy wild dog biting whoever he saw. Only by leaning against the emperor could Concubine Jing be quiet.

Shen Yixiang also took more time to accompany Concubine Jing. He didn't want her to be crazy or to make her sick. He could only accompany her with fatigue and carefreeness, just like she was once gentle and lovely.

Without Shen Yixiang, Concubine Jing would go on a hunger strike and make a fuss. Even Shen Yi was not good at feeding food and water, which made her anxious and even scratched and bit her own baby daughter.

"Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare?" Eunuch Su hurried over when he heard the emperor's dreams. He was afraid that he would be entangled by the nightmare and could not wake up.

"Oh~" Shen Yixiang sighed heavily, and sat up with Eunuch Su's hand.

"Emperor, will it be nice to arrange a sacrifice next month's Zhongyuan Festival?" Eunuch Su suggested that although the prince's wedding was very lively, everyone knew that the imperial capital was uneasy recently, especially the disappearance of Concubine Jing in Tianfu City caused panic.

"It's still one month left, let's talk about it." Shen Yixiang rubbed his forehead on his own, especially his temples, making him feel upset.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the third duke that the drought in the northwest this year is particularly severe, and the Great Heat is coming soon. It is better for the emperor to pray for blessings and rainfall, to ensure the country and the people's peace, and to have a good harvest year?" Eunuch Su just wanted to find something to comfort the emperor, distract himself and calm his nervous mood.

"Which day is the Great Heat?" Shen Yixiang has been in a daze recently and has long forgotten the season.

"There will be seven or eight days in the next summer, and the heat will become hotter and hotter. The light heat will be connected to the big heat, and it seems to be hot for a long time." Eunuch Su helped the emperor sort out the memorial and knew the severity of the drought in the northwest.

"In previous years, plum rain came out of the southeast and the northwest was lying on the slums for several days. This year, there was no rain since the beginning of summer. The land dried up and it did not quench its thirst even a few light rains." Shen Yixiang's recent memorials were all about the drought in the northwest. The local Kaifu and the prefect were so anxious that they were dying.

"Yes, some cities have been in short supply for two consecutive years. If the grains are not harvested this year, the people will not live with peace of mind. It is rumored that the local dragon veins are passive, which angered the Dragon King to punish the northwest and caused a severe drought." Eunuch Su carefully told the rumors to the emperor.

"Fortunately, the southeast has had a bumper harvest for several years. If disaster relief is really needed, it will be convenient to dispatch." Shen Yixiang's words seemed to comfort him.

"But yourselves, you transported grain and grass to help the northwest at the end of last year, but there were still refugees who were still provoking trouble. If you provide relief this year, it would be difficult for the local government to control it." Eunuch Su said it was very implicit, and he dared not say that there would be refugees rising up wantonly.

"Well, I know, don't worry about this matter, go and prepare for sacrifices and pray for rain." What Shen Yixiang is most worried about is not the bad harvest of crops in severe drought, nor is the refugees starving and rebelling because of the lack of harvest of grains.

Generally, severe floods and droughts will be accompanied by epidemics. This is the most worrying thing for the emperor, especially for a strong emperor like Shen Yixiang. If there was a great plague during his reign, his prosperous era of governing the country would be shortened by at least ten years.
