Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home-Chapter 1185 - : A Plan

Chapter 1185: A Plan

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Fourth Prince was very aggressive, and Empress Qi, the Third Prince, the niece of the late Empress Dowager, Princess Concubine Virtue, and her Second Prince were all up to something. But the two of them did not make any big moves, but kept making a cheap shot, a cheap trick. They were all hoping that the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince would kill each other first.

The Emperor was still in good health, and the Crown Prince might have to live in fear for many more years.

He was not sure if he could make it.

Shao Yunduan had not thought much about this – he could just leave with his daughter-in-law, but that was not going to happen now.

He had let down his daughter-in-law.

He was going to make it up to her.

On the surface, Shao Yunduan was helping the Crown Prince inspect the granaries in Hebei, but, in fact, he was heading towards the Crown Prince’s mansion in Miyun County to deal with the reservoir.

The land in Miyun County had been very large these years, and the irrigation could not keep up. The Crown Prince had a field there that covered 500 hectares. A while ago, the manager of the field reported to the East Palace, saying that he wanted to repair the canal before the New Year, in case it affected next year’s plowing.

That was a very natural thing, and the East Palace would not turn that down.

Coincidentally, when Shao Yunduan was out in the capital, the Crown Prince asked him to check on the progress of the canal repair.

500 hectares of fields were not a small amount, and the Crown Prince was not going to overlook that.

But Shao Yunduan noticed something wrong.

The Imperial Plantation was fine, and the canals could be repaired as well.

The problem was a dam upstream.

Shao Yunduan had been here with Qiao Xuan before, and Qiao Xuan wanted to climb mountains and find wild fruits and mushrooms, so he agreed.

Shao Yunduan clearly remembered that two months ago, when he and his wife came to climb mountains and see if there were any wild things, the dam did not exist.

How long had it been? The dam had already blocked the water so high and wide.

At this moment, when the Crown Prince’s mansion was repairing the canal, Shao Yunduan subconsciously connected the dam.

For some reason, he felt that something was wrong.

He asked his men to get a map of the local area and read it with the housekeeper at the abbey. They were both startled.

It would be fine if the dam was fine, but if it collapsed, not only would the canal they were repairing be affected, but the village in the low-lying area would be affected as well!

If they did not escape in time, half of the village would be fed to the fish, and many people would die.

The housekeeper frowned. “I didn’t notice that. When did someone block such a dam in the mountains? That doesn’t seem right. What are they trying to do?”

Shao Yunduan said, “The Crown Prince is at the center of attention right now, and we need to be careful. We can’t keep the dam.”

What if? What if the whole thing was made clear?

The canal was built at the Crown Prince’s Imperial Plantation, and if the dam collapsed at this moment and caused the flood to hit the village, causing death and injury, the two incidents would be easily connected.

It might have been caused by the Crown Prince’s canal repair.

They were all water, and they could talk together.

Most importantly, the dam was so strange that the housekeeper had no idea what was going on. Normally, they should have informed the Imperial Plantation when the dam was only a few meters away from the Crown Prince’s Imperial Plantation.

But that was not the case!
