That night, the entire Li Mansion was shrouded in panic.

There were whispers everywhere, secret prayers everywhere, and the smell of incense and burning paper was everywhere in the dark.

"Have you heard? Aunt Cui was struck to death by lightning."

"That's right. How many wrong things must one have done to be struck by lightning?"

"God's punishment, this is God's punishment."

"What do you think? Was it Aunt Cui or that person that was struck by the heaven?"

"You are crazy. You dare to say anything. You don't want to die."

"That shouldn't be the case, right? If it really happened to someone, God would just strike him down. Why would God strike down Aunt Cui? I've never heard of anyone being able to take over in this kind of situation."

"Why not? He is a royal after all, with royal blood. God should give him some face and give him a warning first."

"Yes, yes, yes, elder sister is right, you are still knowledgeable."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I heard that the woman surnamed Cui was struck by lightning because she killed Shiliu Niang. Shiliu Niang was the reincarnation of a fairy child from heaven. Killing her would naturally bring punishment from heaven."

"real or fake?"

"This is absolutely true. The masters have invited the senior monks from Guangji Temple to perform a ritual. This is what the abbot of the temple said."

Various rumors were heard everywhere, some were spread and some were debunked.

Princess Jinshan had been carried back. Even after such a long time, she still felt weak all over.

Such a living person was struck by lightning and turned into charcoal right in front of her. Not screaming or losing control of her body was her greatest composure.

Nanny Qi poured a hot cup for the eldest princess and handed it to her.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already arranged for someone to ask for the wisdom of Guangji Temple. There will definitely not be any slanderous words about Your Highness spread out."

Princess Jinshan let out a long breath and slowly turned the tea bowl in her hand to calm her frantic heartbeat.

"Where's Sakura-san?"

"Princess, when I came back I found she was gone."

"It runs pretty fast."

"After daybreak, arrange for people to move out all the people from the riverside farms under my name. I'm afraid my good brother will attack the riverbank."

"Yes! Your Highness must remind the Crown Prince."

Princess Jinshan was silent for a while and shook her head.

"Don't say anything to that guy."

"So, the princess wants to cooperate with His Royal Highness Prince Kang?"

The princess raised her eyes to ask Aunt Qi, and the pause was even longer than before. Finally, she shook her head in the same way.

"This... Nuo!" Nanny Qi wanted to say a few words of comfort or give the princess some advice, but seeing the princess's current appearance, she swallowed the words back.

However, under the current situation, if we don’t help either side, we might end up offending both sides!

As the tea bowl in the eldest princess's hand gradually grew colder, her soft whispers were heard in the room.

"Tell me, was the thunder because of Shiliu Niang or because of the prince?"

When Aunt Qi heard this, she was so scared that she knelt on the ground with her head touching the ground.

"That shouldn't be the case! He...he's just the prince."

It is said that the emperor is appointed by heaven and is the son of heaven. If you go against the emperor's will, it is possible that you will be punished by God.

But that’s the Son of Heaven!

"Really? It's okay, you can go down first!" The eldest princess spoke softly, as soft as the smoke coming out of the incense burner.

(??ヮ?)?———— (I am the dashed line for changing the scene)

In Prince Kang's mansion, when Prince Kang heard that someone in Li's mansion was struck to death by lightning, he was also shocked.

But then he started laughing.

"Someone in the Li Mansion was struck by lightning, and the prince lives in the Li Mansion. Hahaha! Someone, someone, come."

Several subordinates appeared in front of King Kang together.

Prince Kang arranged: "Tomorrow morning, I want everyone in Jiangnan to know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was struck by lightning while living in Li's mansion."

"Your Highness, it wasn't the crown prince who was struck down." asked a more straightforward subordinate.

"So what? Three people are talking about a tiger. Let my good nephew explain himself slowly!"

If it weren't too far from the capital, he would rather say that Emperor Jingtian was struck by lightning.

"Boom!" There were a few muffled thunders mixed with the heavy rain outside, which scared King Kang in the house.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I just heard that someone was killed by lightning. Anyone who hears thunder again will be frightened.

"The rain looks pretty heavy! Take good care of the woman in the backyard! Tell her that if the rain lasts for three days as she said, she will be my guest of honor and I will cooperate with her."

"promise."

He sent away the person who was going to deliver the message to King Kang.

Bai Lu summoned the system in her heart.

"System, system, do we really have to cooperate with King Kang to blow up the dam? Blowing up the dam and causing floods will kill people."

As an ordinary modern person, she can talk nonsense on a daily basis, but when it comes to human lives, she doesn't have the courage to do so.

"It's okay. We are cooperating with King Kang because people may die. As long as we move those people away first, there will be no danger."

"Really? What if those people don't leave?"

"No, don't forget, this is a feudal society, and King Kang is the prince. What he says is the will, and no one dares to disobey."

"Really? I hope so!" Bai Lu knew that if the dam was blown up, there would be no way that no one would be injured. But now she could only listen to the system and deceive herself.

"System, I miss my husband and the children. Can't we just go to him directly?" Bai Lu sat there with tears in her eyes.

The system squeaked twice and said in a calm voice: "You are now a wanted criminal and you can't get close to Yan Hongyang at all. Moreover, in Yan Hongyang's heart, you are still the one who poisoned him."

"I didn't know it was a D product! It's you, it's all you, how could you use that kind of stuff!"

"We have discussed this before, and this system will explain it one last time. This system has calculated the usage, and its effect is the same as the YS shell of your previous era. The result of using it will only allow you to quickly gather popularity and wealth. The current result is due to an unpredictable bug. Do not question this system about these issues in the future, otherwise the punishment mode will be activated."

The threat from the system made Bai Lu lose her energy. She slumped her shoulders, sat there with her back half hunched, and looked completely devoid of energy.

"Do you still want to be with Yan Hongyang?" The system's voice sounded in Bai Lu's mind.

"It's impossible. You also said that I am a wanted criminal now, and he is a prince. There is no chance for us to be together in this life. Otherwise, just kill me now!"

[Ding, the host is detected to be in a pessimistic mood, it is recommended to repair it in time. 】

"Host, of course you can still be together. As long as you can get close to Yan Sinian and let this system help you get his imperial aura, when you become the empress, you can be with Yan Hongyang forever."

"Is it really that simple? As long as I get close to Yan Sinian, I can become the empress. Last time we were sitting at the same table, and I didn't see you do anything!"

"Last time it happened suddenly, this time we are well prepared. Don't forget that I am a high-dimensional system, we will definitely succeed this time."
