Chapter 1236: Chapter 1235 Conspiracy

The moat has collapsed!

Not far from the previous collapse, another large section caved in.

At this hinge of spring and summer, the waters were raging. In an instant, the flood roared like beasts, devouring three nearby villages.

"It’s divine punishment, divine punishment indeed!"

It must be a divine punishment!

The heavens must be furious because the Emperor took an Enchantress as his concubine, and this Enchantress, having gained the Emperor’s immense favor, even dared to seduce the State Preceptor.

The State Preceptor’s reputation was destroyed, his years of sanctity were sullied.

For the sake of a woman, the Emperor ordered a manhunt for the State Preceptor.

Divine punishment!

The Imperial Family is unclean, the State Preceptor is unclean, and now even the heavens are enraged!

No sooner had the news of the moat’s collapse reached the capital than a popular ballad began to be sung in the streets and alleys:

"The sky is vast, the water endless, the rice plants on the ground bear no spikes, the swallows in the wind do not return to their nests.

The vast land is flooded, the joyful courtyard is carefree.

The calamitous Enchantress dances with flowing sleeves; the world’s people are in utter chaos..."

...Fu Ning went out for a while and came back with a face green with anger!

"How can they say such things? They are outright slandering the young lady! These people are utterly vile, even exploiting children."

In every street and alley, it’s the children who are singing this ballad, this song about the calamitous Enchantress!

What Enchantress could their young lady possibly be? These people have no idea what has actually happened!

Their young lady is a truly good person!

She does good deeds without leaving a name! She doesn’t do bad things, yet her name is being spread everywhere!

It’s infuriating!

"What exactly are they slandering?" Chu Qianli was changing the dressing for Lan Qing’s wound.

Lan Qing was already awake and listening to Fu Ning’s angry voice from the other room, somehow still managing to stay calm.

Yet her eyes were still burning painfully, stinging quite a bit.

Fu Ning glanced at the two through the screen and originally thought she shouldn’t mention it, but she just couldn’t hold back her anger.

"Essentially, they’re using the moat’s collapse to satirize the Emperor and you, the young lady!"

In short, it’s really infuriating!

What does the collapse of the moat have to do with their young lady?

Can a natural disaster be blamed on the young lady now?

Chu Qianli’s brows lightly furrowed.

Lan Qing’s fingertips tensed for a moment.

Seeing this, Chu Qianli whispered, "The medicine is very powerful. Don’t get distracted. You can’t deal with the moat issue right now, so try not to worry about it for the moment."

Lan Qing wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

Enduring the severe pain, she continued to withstand the effect of the medicine on her eyes.

However, Chu Qianli still looked somewhat puzzled: "What did they say?"

"The children are singing a folk song."

Fu Ning bit her lip, then said, "They... they are singing curses about you and the Imperial Family."

"What do they sing? Sing it so I can hear it."

"I definitely can’t sing it!" Who would want to learn that song.

"I... I’ll recite it to you, young lady."

So Fu Ning recited the lyrics from start to finish.

The more Chu Qianli listened, the more tightly she furrowed her brows.

But she said nothing.

Lan Qing was already suffering enough.

After finishing the dressing change for Lan Qing, she said softly, "The effects of the medication are very good. Although I can’t guarantee it will restore your vision, at least the toxins in your eyes can be gradually removed, and your eyes won’t hurt in the future."

Lan Qing pursed her lips and ultimately just said softly, "Thank you."

After Chu Qianli packed up the medicine and instructed Fu Ning to take good care of Lan Qing, she left the room.

Fu Long was waiting in a corner of the courtyard.

Chu Qianli walked over quickly.

Fu Long glanced at the door of the room before lowering his voice, "The ballad going around outside..."

"Fu Long, the collapse of the moat is probably not that simple," said Chu Qianli with a grave expression.

"This is a conspiracy."
