The next day, after serving the young Emperor his breakfast, Lin Yi was considering skipping court and taking the Nanshan Army to repair the river dam and redirect the water course.
But before he could speak to the young Emperor, a eunuch came running in, all flustered.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
The young Emperor had just put down his chopsticks and was quite displeased by the disturbance.
"What kind of decorum is this flustered behavior, hasn't anyone been supervising you lately?"
The eunuch, having angered His Majesty, knelt down tremblingly.
"Your Majesty! There's a pest crisis in the Imperial City, thousands of water bugs have flooded the city, invading the homes of ordinary people and harming them!"
"What? A water bug disaster?"
The young Emperor was shocked, a water bug disaster following right after the flood had receded?
