Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

The doctor pointed to the collapsed dam far away and said, "Lord Li is missing there. He just wanted to open the gate, but who would have thought that the dam would collapse."

"That's right. It's really a disaster. If the dam hadn't collapsed, so many people wouldn't have died." Another one sighed with a pout.

"The court built the dam to benefit the common people, but who would have thought that it would end up killing so many people." Another person came over and said.

"I'm afraid the resentment of the civilians has become even deeper..."

Wei Bingyan didn't listen to what they were saying. She was looking at the dam that collapsed suddenly over there. The river water was rushing in a hurry, like a ferocious lion rushing straight towards her.

He disappeared without a trace from there... Is there any hope of rescue?

Wei Bingyan's hands trembled slightly, her head was buzzing violently, and a fishy and sweet taste seemed to be coming out of her swollen throat.

"Young Master Li is blessed with great fortune, everything will be fine." Uncle Hai looked at her worriedly and said comfortingly.

She had heard these words countless times, but now they sounded so pale in her ears.

Wei Bingyan handed the first aid kit to Uncle Hai and said in a hoarse voice, "If he really is missing from here, he must have been washed down by the current. I'm going to look for him carefully."

"Miss!" Uncle Hai stopped her in a soft and stern voice, "The water is rushing fast now, how are you going to find Master Li?"

"Search along the river bank!" Wei Bingyan shouted.

"It's too dangerous!" Uncle Hai stopped Wei Bingyan disapprovingly and told her not to take any risks.

Wei Bingyan looked at Uncle Hai with a penetrating and persistent look in her eyes. "Uncle Hai, you don't have to say anything. I must go."

Uncle Hai looked at Wei Bingyan helplessly, "I will go with you, young lady!"

"Let's go!" Wei Bingyan nodded and walked towards the river bank.

Just like when they came here, Wei Bingyan and Uncle Hai left secretly. However, when they were about to reach the river bank, they saw two men arguing under the lush green slope.

It was said to be a quarrel, but in fact it was just one person with a cold face scolding the other person fiercely.

They are the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince.

Wei Bingyan paused her brisk steps and stood upright in the corner, listening to their conversation.

"Sixth brother, since I have delivered the rice directly, there are some things that should be said and you should not mention things that should not be said in front of His Majesty. Is that clear?" The prince said to the Sixth Prince in a double entendre and a little frivolous.

At the same time, he was delighted deep in his heart. Fortunately, the person His Majesty sent over this time was the sixth brother. If it was the fourth brother, he would definitely have severely criticized him this time.

The Sixth Prince had a gloomy face, and his eyes were cold and sharp as he looked at the Crown Prince's bright smile. "Prince, are you talking about the fact that you chose to give up several carts of rice for your own life, or the fact that you cheated and robbed the civilians of their rice?"

The prince's expression changed slightly. "It collapsed. If I had not chosen to give up these grains and food to escape, I would have been the one to die. As for that matter... it was about borrowing food, not robbing!"

"In this case, why should the Crown Prince be afraid of His Majesty finding out?" The Sixth Prince sneered coldly. If he had not seen the miserable plight of these robbed civilians, if he had not appeared here and witnessed this pitiful tragedy, he would not have been so deeply angry at the Crown Prince.

The famous Eastern Palace actually regarded the lives of civilians as ants. How could such a person be a holy monarch? The Sixth Prince was very disappointed.

There are some things he has not said explicitly. The problems with the Luosha River dam were caused by Li Qiangong secretly embezzling the silver for the construction of the dam, and the shoddy construction and careless supervision led to the problem.

It can be said that all these disasters sent down by heaven were caused by Li Qiangong, but the sin was so great that he refrained from speaking of it, because after returning to the capital, someone would bring it up anyway.

"Sixth Brother, you are a smart person. Don't do things that will yield half the result with twice the effort. Anyway, I am living peacefully here, and the poor victims of the disaster have food to eat. Isn't this very good?" said the prince.

Ten carts of grains and cereals were all destroyed, and in the end they had to be looted. How could they support the victims here with only three carts? If that were true, why were there so many beggars along the way?

The Sixth Prince looked at the Crown Prince helplessly, said nothing, and left.

The prince called him several times and immediately followed him forward.

Wei Bingyan looked at the figures that left one after the other, a dark smile on her lips, "This prince is really a waste!"

No wonder His Majesty is not satisfied with him. If it weren't for the Li family's indulgence, the prince wouldn't be so stupid.

There were still some soldiers trying to repair the collapsed dam, taking a rigorous attitude to prevent another flood. Wei Bingyan and the others avoided their attention and walked down along the river bank.

"If you still want to continue looking, you have to slowly climb over that mountain." Uncle Hai pointed to the lush foot of the mountain in front. There used to be a long sandy beach, but it has been buried by water. Therefore, if you want to continue looking for someone, you have to go over the mountain.

"Just climb to the top of the mountain!" Wei Bingyan said softly.

Uncle Hai said nothing. He walked in front of her to clear the way and walked all the way to the mountainside.

"Junior Sister!" It turned out that Guan Mengxin and Aunt Yin also ran over from another road and met Wei Bingyan and the others.

"Xiao Xin, why are you here?" Wei Bingyan looked at them strangely and asked in confusion.

Guan Mengxin said: "Abao is very likely to be with my cousin. The farmers said that there was a good-looking man who came to look for my cousin at that time. I think that guy must be Abao."

"Let's slowly climb over this mountain first." Wei Bingyan felt relieved when she heard that her second senior brother was with Li Yuyan.

"Little junior sister?"

"Xiao Xin?"

They continued walking into the mountain for a while, and suddenly they heard two very familiar voices coming from the top of the mountain.

These two voices were extremely familiar. Wei Bingyan and Guan Mengxin looked up in surprise at the same time.

At the top of the mountain, there were two slender figures running towards them. Although it was a little blurry, they could still tell who they were.

Li Yuyan supported Wang Tianbao, and although both of them looked a little embarrassed, they were not injured. Wei Bingyan looked at him, her straight nose was sour, as if tears were about to come out of her eyes.

He looked at her with eyes that were very bright and very passionate. He could only see her, and it seemed that no one else around him could enter his field of vision.

It wasn't an illusion... She was really beside him. Li Yuyan's calm mood suddenly became excited. If he hadn't been holding Wang Tianbao, he would have used his flying skills to get to her side and hugged her tightly in his arms to make sure it was not an illusion.

Guan Mengxin was not as calm as Wei Bingyan. She appeared beside Li Yuyan as fast as a meteor without touching the ground, and took Wang Tianbao's arm steadily, "How is Abao?"

"My old illness relapsed and I lost the medicine I was carrying." Li Yuyan defended himself.

Guan Mengxin hurriedly took out a whole bottle of pills from her fluttering silk belt, poured out one and forced it into Wang Tianbao's mouth.

Wang Tianbao's face was as pale as a dead person. He swallowed the pill with great effort and gave Guan Mengxin a weak smile, "I don't have any serious problems."

Li Yuyan handed Wang Tianbao to Guan Mengxin, and then strode towards Wei Bingyan with his head held high.

Aunt Yin and Uncle Hai knew the situation and went up to help Wang Tianbao.

Wei Bingyan bit her soft red lips tightly, looking at him with clear and calm eyes. Looking at him from a short distance, she realized how depressed he was at this moment. His eyes were filled with layers of red veins, there was a shadow in front of his eyes, his mouth and jaw had stubble, and his clothes were wrinkled. There was no trace of his previous free and easy, open-minded, elegant and simple attitude.

But seeing him like this, she felt excited and happy.

"Come here, let me hug you." He opened his arms, his delicate lips raised in a gentle smile, his voice hoarse and slow, as he spoke softly to Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes. She walked over to him and said in his arms, "You scared me to death!"

Li Yuyan hugged her tightly and sighed with satisfaction above her head, "Isn't this me who is alive and well in front of you?"

"You scared me to death, scared me to death!" Wei Bingyan hit his abdomen and cried out with tears, feeling that this was the only way to vent the panic and worries she had been having these days.

"Sorry!" He kissed her forehead and smiled.

Wei Bingyan raised her head and placed her hands on his face. "Are you hurt?"

Li Yuyan wiped the tears from her face and said softly: "I'm fine. When I fell, Abao grabbed me. We have good swimming skills and someone to protect us. Others..."

A total of eighteen people followed him onto the dam, but in the end he was the only one who survived! Li Yuyan's eyes suddenly turned clear and cold.

"The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince are both at the foot of the lush mountain. Everyone thinks you can't come back." Wei Bingyan squeezed his hand and spoke softly.

"Crown Prince?" Li Yuyan snorted coldly, "How dare he show up here?"

Guan Mengxin supported Wang Tianbao, who had gradually recovered some of his true energy, and walked towards them. Wang Tianbao said, "That bastard actually dared to come back. He decided to give up ten carts of grain and let so many people risk their lives to protect his life. He still dares to come here?"

“Some of you don’t know that after the prince escaped for his own survival, he actually robbed grains from several villages and pretended that they were sent by the court to the victims. He was just thinking about not being convicted after returning to the capital, but he never thought about what would happen to the civilians without food.” Wei Bingyan said softly.

Wang Tianbao was so angry that he said, "What a beast!" After he finished speaking, he suddenly started coughing.
