Chapter 242 What is supposed to come will eventually come
"I'm really worried about you. How can I stay in the palace peacefully if I leave you here alone to deal with this drought?"
Zhao Haoxuan walked forward and held Wang Xinyao's little hand tightly.
His eyes were deep and passionate, filled with endless affection and concern.
She was so beautiful, he would never let his father break them up.
Wang Xinyao couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, but at the same time she was shrouded in deep worry.
"The current situation is indeed extremely difficult, and the crops in the people's fields have almost all turned yellow and withered.
Although the spiritual spring water might be able to save some crops, the capital is vast and has many fields.
All I could do was quietly release the spiritual spring water at night when no one was around.
It's difficult for me to solve the problem of dry land in a short period of time by myself!" Wang Xinyao said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan made a solemn promise to Wang Xinyao without hesitation:
"Xinyao, don't worry! No matter how big the difficulties and obstacles are,
I will definitely stay by your side and work with you to properly deal with the issue of the drying up of the land."
The two worked until late at night and finally filled the fields of a village with water.
Zhao Haoxuan seized the opportunity and quietly returned to the palace in the dark night.
Wang Xinyao rushed back to her own manor without stopping.
When Wang Xinyao stepped into her own estate, what caught her eyes were the endless rice fields, lush sweet potato fields and flourishing potato fields.
All these crops are growing very well, and each one is full of vitality and vigor.
Looking at this delightful scene, Wang Xinyao thought to herself:
If the current good growth trend continues, when all the grain in Nanhu County reaches a good harvest,
The amount of grain produced will surely be considerable, and should be enough to support Xia Country's food consumption for the next three months or so.
As long as you grit your teeth and hold on for a while, God will definitely send down a blessing.
Wang Xinyao had just laid down and was immersed in a dream when she was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
After listening carefully, I found out that it was Lord Yang Chende who came to visit.
Wang Xinyao quickly got up, tidied her clothes, and hurried out to greet him.
When she saw Lord Yang Chende, Wang Xinyao first bowed respectfully.
Then he asked, "Master Yang, why did you come here in such a hurry this morning?"
Yang Chende glanced at Wang Xinyao solemnly and said slowly, "Miss Wang, the emperor has personally issued an oral order, ordering you to go to the palace to meet him immediately.
As for the specifics of what this is, I'm not quite sure yet. But...
According to some relatively reliable information I received, the Crown Prince was placed under house arrest by the Emperor's order last night.
Therefore, the emperor's summons this time may be closely related to you.
You'd better prepare yourself mentally in advance to avoid being caught off guard." Then, Yang Chende earnestly expressed his concern and worry for her.
Wang Xinyao was shocked when she heard the news that Zhao Haoxuan was under house arrest.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, thinking to herself, "The prince is actually under house arrest? But... he was clearly with me last night. Could it be that he sneaked out?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown, and an ominous premonition came to her heart.
I was put under house arrest as soon as I returned to the palace. Could this matter really be related to me?
The more Wang Xinyao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. However, she knew that what was coming would eventually come, and there was no point in escaping it.
The only way now is to find ways to please the emperor, perhaps to resolve this crisis.
But how can we please the emperor who is so high and mighty and holds the power of life and death?
This really gave her a headache.
In desperation, Wang Xinyao had to bite the bullet and, accompanied by Xiao Xizi, walked into the palace with trepidation.
Along the way, her steps seemed a little heavy, and every step was as weak as if she was stepping on cotton.
When they reached the door of the imperial study, they saw Eunuch Xu from afar with an anxious look on his face.
Eunuch Xu came forward in two steps, impatiently saying, "Miss Wang, you're finally here! His Majesty has been waiting for a long time and is almost anxious!"
Wang Xinyao raised her eyes upon hearing this, and her gaze fell on Eunuch Xu's face.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed the bruise on Eunuch Xu's forehead that had not yet disappeared, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart.
She quickly asked with concern: "Father-in-law, how did you do this?"
"It's all because of you!" Eunuch Xu said unhappily with an angry look on his face.
His shrill voice echoed in the air, as if carrying a hint of resentment. "I'm telling you, you have to compensate me well. I risked my own life to save yours!"
Hearing this, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but widen her eyes, with a look of doubt on her face.
As she walked, she whispered, "Save my life? What's going on?"
Eunuch Xu waved his hand impatiently with a stern face, urging, "Stop rambling and hurry up! You'll understand the reason once you get in!"
As a result, Wang Xinyao became even more uneasy, and her already nervous mood became even more intense.
At this moment, a clever figure suddenly flashed in front. It turned out to be Xiao Xizi.
He stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully to Eunuch Xu.
He said, "Greetings, Godfather! Please calm down, Godfather, and don't scare the lady!"
The appearance of Xiao Xizi seemed to ease Eunuch Xu's expression a little.
He glanced at Xiao Xizi, and his tone was no longer as harsh as before: "Humph! His Majesty has already known about the affair between your wife and the Crown Prince, and he is furious!"
Eunuch Xu turned his gaze towards Wang Xinyao again and continued, "But... you can go in without worry. At least for now, your life is safe. It's worth it for me to have to work so hard for you."
After hearing this, Wang Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, eunuch. If it weren't for your help, I would have been in big trouble this time." Wang Xinyao hurriedly thanked Eunuch Xu.
It seems that having connections is very important at critical moments.
So she calmly reached into her arms and began to feel around.
In a moment, she took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from her arms.
This porcelain vase looks small and exquisite, but it exudes a mysterious and alluring aura.
Wang Xinyao respectfully handed it to Eunuch Xu and said sincerely, "Thank you, Eunuch. This is for you!"
