Chapter 40 East Antarctica

Yan Qi ate the meal with great trepidation.

"Huan'er, eat more of this venison, your royal brother hunted it himself."

The queen personally took a piece of venison and put it into Yan Qi's bowl. Yan Qi was quite frightened when she heard that Yue Jue was mentioned.

She remembered that she did hunt two deer with Qingshan Yuejue. Could it be the dish on the table?

"You should eat more, I've lost weight." Emperor Ming also gave Yan Qi a piece of venison.

With a smile on her face, Yue Jue also gave Yan Qi a piece of venison: "Brother, give it to Huan'er too."

Yan Qi looked at the bowl full of venison, and glared at Yue Jue with resentment. The sixth child had blinded her from getting up early to give gifts!

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have given it away.

When Emperor Ming and the Empress knew that the jade pendant was a gift from her, they all looked at her with the same eyes as when Yuejue received the jade pendant just now.

Seeing Yue Jue who was crying and wanted to be beaten, Yan Qi was ready to make a move to divert trouble to the east.

"Father, Queen and Queen, don't worry. Huan'er will definitely buy you gifts next time he leaves the palace. It's all the emperor's fault that Huan'er didn't have time to prepare this time."

"Oh?" Emperor Ming glanced at Yue Jue faintly.

So, he and Lingxuan should have had one in the first place?

In the conscience of heaven and earth, he was wronged.

Yue Jue looked at Yue Huan dumbly, it was hard to expose her lies, but she couldn't really make people angry.

"Yes, it's all the emperor's fault." Yue Jue was very good at sizing up the situation and apologized straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Emperor Ming nodded with deep eyes: "In that case, then take out a few interesting things from your private treasury and give them to Huan'er as an apology."

Emperor Ming's heart had no limits.

Yan Qi looked at Yue Jue with bright eyes, "There is no such thing as too much, she likes it."

"That's natural. I've already prepared it for Huan'er."

Yue Jue looked at Yue Huan's shining eyes, and what she said touched Yan Qi's heart again.

With a brother like this, what can a sister ask for?

Yan Qi also gave Yue Jue a piece of venison with chopsticks: "Brother, the emperor will eat it too."

"Huan'er will be partial to your imperial brother, and the mother and queen will be jealous." Murong Lingshu saw the two brothers and sisters looking happy and pretended to be amused.

"Mother~"

Yan Qi acted coquettishly, isn't this the power of money?

Taking advantage of the situation, she also served dishes to both Emperor Ming and the Empress, and said in a playful voice: "Huan'er is not partial, she's on the right track."

Just when the family of four was enjoying themselves happily, Yi Qing walked in quickly from outside the hall.

He looked solemn.

"Your Majesty, there is a serious flood in East Antarctica. Mr. Shulin, the Minister of Household Affairs, is asking to see Your Majesty at the Qinzheng Hall."

What!

As soon as the news came out, several people's expressions were not very good.

During the Spring Festival, a major disaster is no joke.

If you are not careful, you may cause public outrage.

Emperor Ming stood up suddenly and stared at Yi Qing: "When did it happen?"

East Antarctica is more than a thousand kilometers away from the imperial capital, so it must have taken a long time for the news to reach here.

I don’t know what happened to the local residents.

"On the eve of New Year's Eve, the courier traveled 800 miles to deliver the urgent news."

Emperor Ming frowned and strode out. When he reached the door quickly, Emperor Ming suddenly turned around and looked at Yan Qi.

"Huan'er have a good meal with your mother, and your father will come to accompany you after he is done with his work."

It's hard for him to still think about her in the face of important events.

Yan Qi's heart felt sour and soft for a moment.

"Brother and father will go deal with the government affairs first. Huan'er should accompany the mother and queen." Yue Jue also stood up and rubbed Yan Qi's hair, speaking softly.

"Huan'er understands, father and brother don't be too tired."

She had some impressions of the floods in East Antarctica.

I just remember that the flooding this time was particularly serious, and what’s even more serious is that it’s winter now.

Floodwaters are cold and even mixed with ice, which greatly reduces the survival rate of victims.

Even if you can swim, you will inevitably be stabbed by an ice pick, which can lead to wound infection and disease.

After a catastrophe, there must be a serious illness.

As for how the disaster ended, she... skipped the chapter.

I did not see……

For the first time, Yan Qi hated his habit of skipping chapters to read a book. It felt like he was holding the script in his hand and torn it up with her own hands.

She really wanted to yell at God!

"It'll be fine. Huan'er should eat first."

After watching Emperor Ming and Yue Jue leave, Murong Lingxuan scooped another bowl of ginseng soup for Yue Huan.

"My father and my brother didn't use it much." Yan Qi was in a low mood, all because of her jade pendant.

During the banter, few of them had a good meal.

Seeing that Yue Huan was not in a high mood, the Queen comforted her: "The Queen will send someone to deliver some to them later."

After leaving a country behind, she had seen many such things, so she was not as worried as Yue Huan.

Disaster relief matters should be handled by the imperial court.

"How many victims are currently affected by the disaster?"

Emperor Ming sat on the dragon chair, looked at the book handed over by Lin Gui, the minister of household affairs, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the Emperor, it is still...unable to count!"

"The disaster was severe, and once the floods were severe, there was little chance of survival."

Lin Wei lowered his head and spoke with a heavy voice.

"Unable to count? Who is the local official of East Antarctica!"

Emperor Ming was not satisfied with this answer. Three days had passed since the disaster and he had only received the news now.

"The local official said that he was washed away by the flood and his whereabouts are unknown."

After Lin Gui finished speaking, Emperor Ming was silent for a long time.

Yue Jue's eyes dimmed slightly, the local official was missing, the group was leaderless, and the situation in East Antarctica was not optimistic.

"Zhang Yan!" Emperor Ming muttered in a deep voice.

"I'm here!" Zhang Yan, who was standing in the queue, walked to the center.

"I appoint you as the imperial minister to go to the disaster relief, open the warehouse to store grain for a month, assist in post-disaster reconstruction, and be sure to settle the people affected by the disaster!"

Emperor Ming closed the book and quickly made a disaster relief plan.

"I obey the order!" Zhang Yan bowed and accepted the order.

Lin Gui glanced at him, his eyes flashing slightly.

"Father, I would like to go to East Antarctica with the imperial envoys to provide disaster relief."

Yue Jue stood at the front of the queue and kowtowed.

East Antarctica is a vast territory with a large population and strong folk customs. The local officials are missing and the current situation is unclear. It may be difficult for a single imperial envoy to stabilize the situation.

As the prince, he went to represent Emperor Ming in person.

It can better reflect the majesty of the emperor’s grace.

Emperor Ming glanced at Yue Jue and refused.

"Master Zhang alone is enough for this disaster relief. The prince does not need to worry."

It's just a minor flood, so Yue Jue doesn't need to go there in person.

Yue Jue wanted to say more, but Emperor Ming had already gone far.

"Prince, don't worry, I will do my best." Zhang Yan walked up to Yue Jue and bowed.

"That's it, Sir, I'm tired."

Yue Jue knew Zhang Yan's abilities and had handled disasters in the past very well.

His father had such considerations when he sent him there.

On the way back to Anle Palace from the Queen, Yan Qi kept thinking about the events in East Antarctica.

Why does she think the flood disaster in East Antarctica has been brought forward?

Could it be that her arrival triggered the butterfly effect?

Just like the last incident with Qingshan, she just took Jiang Qi to hunt on a temporary basis, but she was assassinated for no reason.

and.

What she was sure of was that Yue Huan had never met Shi Wuxian.

"Princess!"

Suddenly, Green Branch exclaimed!

Yan Qi, who was in a trance, had no time to react, and his forehead hit his hard chest hard. Due to the inertia, his whole body fell backwards with an unstable center of gravity.

The slender waist was trapped by strong arms and pulled into the cold embrace.

Yan Qi rubbed his painful forehead and looked up blankly.

Eyes as ink are as deep as the Milky Way.

She frowned slightly: "Why are you standing in the middle of the road?"
