Asking for something

Qi Ranran walked along the road to the courtyard. Before entering the door, she heard the sound of broken lamps.

Then amid the fits of coughing, I heard an angry rebuke,

"Often, over 10,000 people were killed or injured in Jiangsu and Jiangsu Provinces.

If someone other than me investigates the situation, are you prepared to keep hiding it?"

Qi Ranran was frightened, and Caiyue who followed was also startled.

I know that he is strict in handling political affairs, but I have never seen him lose such a temper.

The emperor and his ministers were discussing government affairs. Eunuch Li was outside. With his eyes lowered, he caught a glimpse of a piece of clothes.

When I looked up again, my little eyes were filled with surprises.

It was like seeing a living ancestor, and he immediately bowed.

"Your Majesty! My Majesty, be safe, you are finally awake!"

Qi Ranran raised her hand to avoid Eunuch Li's gift. While Eunuch Li was waiting nearby, she looked inward and called the person over for questioning.

"What's going on here?

What happened!

Why does the emperor act so grandly?"

Eunuch Li sighed immediately. He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he was so anxious that he looked like he had aged five years.

"Mother, you were unconscious a few days ago.

The emperor sent people out to investigate the situation, and found out that an epidemic broke out in Changzhou and Jiangsu.

The people suffered serious casualties and fled one after another.

However, the prefects in these two places were afraid of trouble and did not report it to the court.

Things have been dragging on for longer and longer, and now they are getting out of hand.

People are fleeing now, and there are still many people who are sick outside.

Seeing that hundreds of people suffered in one day, how could the emperor not be angry?

In particular, the Emperor has not slept well these past few days, and his temper must have become even worse."

As a slave, he saw that the emperor was anxious and could not persuade him even if he wanted to.

Now that the empress is here, things finally have hope.

The relationship between the emperor and the empress is good, and the emperor can always listen to a few words of the empress.

Eunuch Li was very nervous,

"Your Majesty, if you see the Emperor later, you will have to persuade the Emperor more.

Your body is your own, and you should take care of it, right?"

What's more, the emperor's dragon body is related to thousands of people in Beiyu.

Outside, Mr. Li was reporting the situation to Qi Ranran, but inside, the atmosphere had reached an extreme stalemate.

Facing the emperor's questioning, the prefects of Changzhou and Suzhou knelt on the ground.

Seeing that the Changzhou magistrate was silent, the Suzhou magistrate hesitated for a long time, and then timidly interjected,

"Report to your Majesty,

At first... I just thought it was the cold, and I never thought it was an epidemic.

Later, for some reason, I couldn’t control it anymore.”

The prefect of Changzhou closed his eyes resignedly.

The hands on the ground were tightened into fists.

The emperor is furious, what's the use of saying such words now!

It is nothing more than confirming the charge of dereliction of duty, and even arousing the emperor's anger!

Sure enough, after the Suzhou magistrate's words, Yu Wenchen's anger grew stronger, his cold aura became stronger, he sneered coldly, and thundered down,

"So, according to what you mean, you are doing nothing wrong!

It is also appropriate to hide and not report, massacre the people, and allow the epidemic to spread!

I blamed you wrongly!"

The prefect of Suzhou was choked,

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, this is not what I mean."

As for the people who were burned to death...

There is nothing we can do about that!

The Suzhou magistrate continued to argue, but after opening his mouth for a long time, no words came out.

The prefect of Changzhou kowtowed his head to the ground.

"This matter is due to my dereliction of duty, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

When the Suzhou prefect heard this, he rushed to pull the Changzhou prefect's sleeve.

You can't admit it! Once you confess, it's all over.

The governor of Changzhou did not raise his head and continued to plead,

"I know that my sins are serious, so I beg Tianyan."
