The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

Bai Lu was mixed in the crowd, not daring to look directly at him, and could only secretly glance at Yan Sinian's carriage. The system also adjusted its frequency to the lowest.

Bai Lu clenched her hands which had begun to tremble slightly, and in her ears she could hear the words that the system had been "brainwashing" her for the past few days.

This system was originally created to steal the imperial aura of this world. Now that stealing is impossible, the only option is to - rob.

The system calculated that Bai Lu had deep feelings for Yan Hongyang and the two children, and began to seduce her.

Yan Hongyang is the son of destiny in this world, the darling of heaven. Bai Lu, as his wife who has worshipped heaven and earth and formed a Yuan League with him, will also enjoy a share of destiny. As long as she seizes Yan Sinian's imperial aura, she will be the unique master of the world.

Bai Lu had also asked the system, there are so many emperors in the world, does it have to be Yan Sinian? She still wants to be with Yan Hongyang forever. If she kills his brother, there will be a rift between husband and wife.

The system told Bai Lu: "It can only be Yan Sinian, because he is the only prosperous emperor in the original world who unified the world. Using the setting of the novels in your world, you can understand that the Heavenly Dao here has two sons. One has super abilities and is appreciated by it. It gives him the strongest authority in the world. The other is favored by it, and it gives him the greatest freedom and luck in the world."

As long as Bai Lu can get this luck and power at the same time, then even if she does nothing and lies at home, the emperor's crown will come to her. As long as she can succeed, not only will Yan Hongyang be devoted to her, but even if she wants to open a harem, it will be easy.

Bai Lu hid in the crowd. For the sake of Yan Hongyang and their two children, she quietly grasped the knife given to her by the system in her sleeve.

The knife was very small, only as thick as a brush, and the blade was only as long as an index finger, and it was completely black. Even though Bai Lu's palms were sweating from nervousness, the knife did not have a trace of human warmth.

Since Yan Sinian's carriage appeared, the system has not made any sound. But the plan was set long ago.

As long as the right opportunity arises, the system can pause time. Even if it is only for a short ten seconds, it is enough for Bai Lu to insert the knife into Yan Sinian's heart.

With the cry of "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived", the originally noisy embankment suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of wind, rain, and the rushing flood.

Yan Sinian stood in front of the carriage, with Wei Rong holding an umbrella for him behind him.

When Yan Sinian raised his legs and walked toward the embankment, all the people around him knelt down and bowed their heads to the ground.

Yan Sinian came to Bai Miao and asked, "How many people have not left?"

"Your Highness, there are only two villages downstream. Together, there are less than a hundred households and nearly three hundred people." Bai Miao hunched his chest and reported what he had learned to Yan Sinian.

"The people who were causing trouble on the dike just now were all young and strong men from the two farms. I have already asked people to check and the old people, women and children are still in the farms."

"It's unfair! We are not the troublemakers!" As Bai Miao finished speaking, a middle-aged man who was kneeling not far from them crawled forward a few steps and shouted.

Wei Rong hurriedly took a step forward and stood in a position that would allow him to protect Yan Sinian to the greatest extent possible.

The middle-aged man, who looked like a steward, did not dare to move forward after seeing Wei Rong's actions. He could only continue to shout: "Your Highness, we are all slaves living in the manor. If we leave without the master's order, we will be runaway slaves, which is against the law!"

"Nonsense, leaving on the order of the Crown Prince is not considered as leaving without permission. Even your master has to follow the order of the Crown Prince."

Unfortunately, reason is not something that can be understood by unreasonable people.

"No matter what, we can't be runaway slaves!"

"My wife and children are still at home!"

“We need to protect the levee.”

"Yes, we have to protect the embankment. We can't let the water rush into my house! My mother is still lying at home!"

……

The person kneeling behind the steward also started shouting.

Bai Miao was so angry that his face turned blue, and his head, which was not very big to begin with, became visibly bigger due to anger.

According to the route planned by him and the River Management Bureau, once the river water was too high, they would open a gap downstream to release the water. There were only a few farms of wealthy families there, with few people and many fields, making it the most suitable place.

If only the River Administration took the lead, they would never dare to make such a plan, but now Bai Miao is in charge, and with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind him, he is naturally not afraid of anyone.

However, they never imagined that someone would dare to pretend to obey and actually hinder the orders given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yan Sinian looked at the people shouting around him, but did not respond to any of them, nor did he answer any of the cries of injustice that seemed like complaints but were actually questions.

He looked at Bai Miao and the others and said, "Since they want to protect the embankment, let's fulfill their wish."

"However, their sincerity cannot be shown here on the embankment. Let's send them to the river god and ask for their petition in person!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Bai Miao and Wei Rong both responded loudly.

Seeing that the people brought by Wei Rong rushed up to grab people and threw them into the river, those who were kneeling on the ground were in a panic.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the court has issued an order that it is forbidden to use living people to sacrifice to the river god... You can't do this. We all have families to support. If we die, the rest of the family will not survive..." The steward shouted loudly while struggling to avoid the guards who came up to catch him.

Offering sacrifice to the river god is an ancient local sacrifice. In the beginning, it was just ordinary offerings of three animals into the river and burning a few pieces of yellow paper, and that was it.

But later, wars broke out everywhere, and the battles along the river were too many to fight, and no one cared about the flood season. Some superstitious people began to organize local people to worship the river god themselves, and they used this to make money.

But after years of war, even the three animals could not be gathered together, so someone suggested using young boys to sacrifice to the river god.

It is not known whether the river god really existed, or whether God felt that the people were suffering too much and really stopped the flood twice. This made the human sacrifice quietly flourish.

Later, after strict prohibition and legislation by the imperial court, the inhumane "activity" was stopped.
