Chapter 734 - 734 340 Slapping the face (Fifth update)
?Chapter 734: 340 Slapping the face (Fifth update) Chapter 734: 340 Slapping the face (Fifth update) In mid-June, a torrential rainstorm struck the Capital City, which lasted for five days. Numerous farmland and houses were drowned, and the Ministry of Works was busy dredging the drains in the city. Even the construction of Empress Dowager Zhuang’s residence was temporarily halted. Lord Gu was recalled to help deal with the crisis.
The Ministry of Revenue was occupied with helping civilians regain their agriculture.

Xiao Liulang replied, “Wang Xiuzhuan, Li Xiuzhuan, and Yang, the imperial reader.”

Eunuch Qin stepped in, “Your Highness, what are your orders?”
