On the summer night of the eighteenth year of Hongwu, there was a heavy rain in Yingtian Mansion.
Lin Jing, a new non-staff craftsman from the Ministry of Industry, squatted on the roof, staring at the rain in a daze. He was measuring the drainage flow, but in the eyes of others, he was just a sneaky man, lying on the wall, staring at the yard next door.
In the yard next door, lives Princess Zhu Ruolan of Yongping.
"There are assassins——! Escort——!"
Before Lin Jing could react, he was pulled down from the roof by a group of royal guards and pushed into the muddy water. He looked up and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl holding a sword and looking down at him. Rain was running down her face. Her eyes looked like she wanted to chop him up and feed him to a dog.
"Tell me, what are you doing lying on the wall of this palace?"
"I said I was studying drainage systems, do you believe me?"
