The fourth prince's face suddenly darkened. Originally, he was afraid that if Xia Lingxuan continued to dig, he would unearth the ancient artifact.
What you really want is never the piece of land, but the treasure hidden underneath.
Although it is unknown where Xia Lingxuan got the news, now he has dug out a clear spring, which has hindered Xia Lingxuan's actions, and the haze on his face has gradually dissipated.
"Your Highness, it's better not to be willful. Now that you have dug a spring, as long as the water is properly diverted, it will not cause trouble. If you continue to dig, you don't know how many lives will be lost!"
The fourth prince wanted to slander Xia Lingxuan in front of all the people, but Xia Lingxuan didn't even look at him.
In order to avoid a dispute between the two here, the city gate caught fire and affected the fish in the pond. Ye Ziliang could only grit his teeth and step forward with a meek and humble attitude.
Ye Ziliang stepped forward in time, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.
"With this clear spring, we can supply the people of the whole city. In the future, we will not have to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to drink water. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has done a good thing."
Several people's eyes immediately showed surprise when they heard this. It was not difficult for them to drink water. It was just that they dug such a large spring here and saw that the water kept pouring in. It would not take long for the whole city to be flooded.
"With such a large clear spring still gushing out, the water will flood the city soon. Who dares to live here?"
"The water is so big that it will flood the city soon. What do you want to do, Your Highness? Does it mean that we, the people, are living a good life, so we have to find some trouble?"
"Isn't this a disregard for human life? Our family has been living here for generations. This is simply not taking human life seriously!"
The people complained, thinking that Xia Lingxuan had done something bad. At this time, what happened here quickly spread to the palace.
The prince's ridiculous behavior immediately reached the ears of the emperor and empress.
The two people who were fascinated by playing chess learned about this, and a look of surprise suddenly flashed in their eyes, full of shock and confusion.
Looking at Xia Lingxuan's changes in the past few days, I thought that His Highness the Crown Prince had changed his nature. But now that he has done such a ridiculous scene, could it be that he has turned into a playboy again?
"I told you before that you don't want to be kind to women. The prince is not an ordinary person. He has been spoiled by you for a long time. Now he has returned to his old profession. How can he be worthy of such a big responsibility? "
Thinking of the queen's favor for the prince, the emperor's face showed a look of dissatisfaction.
He glared at the queen with a look of resentment, then complained again.
"You overpromised this matter before, but now you are going too far. The prince is usually extravagant. It's not like you don't know that. By trusting him too much, you just shot yourself in the foot!"
The Queen sneered, her eyes full of anger, she didn't expect that I, the Grand Master, could say such a thing.
"It's the fault of a son who doesn't teach his father. Usually you are only busy with matters in the court, but do you have any thoughts on Xuan'er? Now that something like this happened, you put all the blame on me. On my body, hum!"
The Queen shook her sleeves in annoyance, the anger in her eyes was very obvious.
"Normally, you dote on him whenever he wants. Now that he has done this, you actually resent me for ignoring me. Don't you, as a queen, have no regrets at all? Isn't this your usual habit? The result?"
Thinking that Xia Lingxuan was not doing his job normally, even laughing and joking with a group of people outside, and doing things that were detrimental to the royal family, he felt very angry in his heart.
"You gave him enough money to go shopping in flower houses, and you even touched and touched women from innocent families. You spoiled him so much that it was unbelievable. But now you don't show any regret at all. You really deserve to be a mother!"
The quarrel between the two became more and more intense. The queen did not expect that the emperor would turn over old scores and belittle Xia Lingxuan.
"Xuan'er is your biological son no matter what, and he is still a dignified prince. He would rather believe the rumors of outsiders than believe his own son. What is Xuan'er's personality like on weekdays? I know best. Since you think so, then There’s no need to say more!”
How much support can I give to my son who doesn’t even believe in him?
Thinking of this, the queen walked away with resentment on her face.
The emperor sitting in front of the chessboard also became angry and immediately turned over his table.
"Convey my will and stop the prince from continuing his despicable excavations!"
The eunuch immediately knelt down and agreed, then trotted out of the imperial study room.
At the same time, the matter soon spread in the city. Many people heard that the prince had dug a spring in that wasteland, and some people spread the news more and more falsely.
"Have you heard? The prince dug out the dragon's veins there, which will cause disaster. Soon the water will flood the capital, and by then the whole capital will be burned to the ground!"
Rumors spread like wildfire, and everyone was frightened and frightened, causing many people to flee overnight.
The rich people in the city packed their bags and drove their carriages to the southwest overnight, fearing that the place would become a vast ocean after one night.
Some people even sold their houses at low prices, fearing that they would be implicated in the matter. Once the water reaches the Jinshan Mountains, the entire capital will be flooded. Who else can sit still?
There were still some people who spontaneously formed groups and came to Xia Lingxuan in groups with the hope of death.
A group of people in Wuyangyang knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging. Although they were just afraid before, they now hated the prince's selfishness.
"This world does not only belong to His Highness the Crown Prince, but also to the common people like us. His Highness the Crown Prince can act recklessly on weekdays. How can we continue to dig now? If the water floods the capital, everyone will be displaced and even their lives will be lost."
Many people agreed, fearing that Xia Lingxuan's actions would cause disaster.
Originally he was savoring the fragrant beggar's chicken on his hands, but Xia Lingxuan suddenly felt that the chicken drumsticks had no taste at all.
He threw the chicken legs on the plate nonchalantly and then slowly sat up straight.
"Please also ask His Highness the Crown Prince to consider us, the common people of Li, and hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will give us a way to survive."
Several people kowtowed, while Xia Lingxuan sighed.
Now he was riding a tiger, thinking about the electric shock he received when he resisted before. The numb feeling all over his body almost made him suffocate. He didn't want to experience it again.
Xia Lingxuan sighed and shook his head, unwilling to go against the system's wishes. What's more, the system's mission this time was like this. I'm afraid there must be an ulterior treasure buried underneath.
Ever since the fourth prince was too nervous to let him dig, Xia Lingxuan had a hunch that he was getting closer to the truth.
