Chapter 73: The Emperor's Dilemma (2)
"It's not because the emperor is bored, but he made an excuse to test the wisdom of his children and gave each of them a difficult question." Seventh Brother said.
"Oh, I see. That's why... Let me think about it carefully..." Ye Lang nodded and said.
"Take your time, but just a bit faster, there are only three days left!" Seventh Brother urged with embarrassment.
"Got it, I'll think of a way as soon as possible." Ye Lang said with a wave of his hand.
"Must remember, don't forget..."
"If you keep nagging me, I'll forget it right away!!"
"......" Seventh Brother immediately shut his mouth.
……
Goal: To make the streets of downtown areas pedestrian-free!
Conditions: Do not damage the ground, do not place anything on the ground, and do not artificially seal off areas...
A simple goal, yet due to the circumstances it has become almost impossible. No matter how hard Ye Lang's Seventh Brother and future Seventh Sister-in-law rack their brains, they can't think of a solution, so they have no choice but to seek help from Ye Lang.
And they sought help from Ye Lang, not simply because Ye Lang was an "alchemy genius", but also because of Ye Lang's good fortune, wanting to borrow his luck, perhaps they could make it through.
Ye Lang's seventh brother even believed that as long as Ye Lang came up with any method, the ground would not change at all, and as long as he participated in this matter, people would miraculously turn around.
Goddess of fortune, you must keep an eye on your treasure this time, don't leave it for a moment!
Seventh brother thinks that since there is no specific time limit, choosing a less crowded time will definitely work, as long as no one passes by within the specified time.
Only Brother Seven and Future Sister-in-law Seven understood a bit, if they chose to do so at that time, the emperor might send someone to pass by, or someone else's person, there was no rule that people who were not allowed to watch were not allowed to pass by.
And their idea was also during this period of time, they didn't even think about it when there were many people.
At dusk, Ye Lang told Qi Ge that he had already thought of a way...
"What? You want them to come over when there are the most people tomorrow?" Seventh Brother asked in surprise, just as mentioned above, he hadn't thought of doing it during this time period.
"Yes, it's better for us to have more people, fewer people would be troublesome. Also, we should choose a daytime with sufficient light." Ye Lang nodded and replied.
"What are you trying to do? I must remind you that we can't do anything about it. How can we possibly get people to avoid this empty lot?"
"Who says nothing can be done? If nothing can be done, then why would the Emperor even ask this question?" Ye Lang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Anyway, even if I fail, you still have two days left, isn't it said that there's no limit to attempts within the time limit?"
"This is also..." Seventh Brother nodded and said. The Emperor treats all difficult problems in the same way, with a time limit to complete, and multiple attempts are allowed!
The next day, the emperor and his entourage arrived at the busiest street in the imperial city, where they stopped at a place with the most foot traffic, ready to test the future seventh sister-in-law's answer.
"Are you sure you want to do this at this time and in this place?" The Emperor asked with a frown.
It seems that the emperor had also thought about this issue, but never thought it would be at such a time and in such an environment.
"Uh..." Nana nodded and looked at her brother Qī Gē, who forced a smile. He could only believe that Ye Lang's method would work now.
"Then you may begin!" The Emperor said with some anticipation, he actually wanted to see what his daughter was capable of.
"Ye Ming..."
"I see......" Seventh Brother walked to a place and lifted up the covering thing on top, and underneath it actually appeared...
A deep black hole!
"Alright, I've told you not to damage the ground, what are you doing, thirteen? Are you messing with us?! Get out of here now!!" Seventh Brother shouted immediately.
"What's wrong with you? Don't be in such a hurry. This way, people will know that I'm the one who did this." Yewang, who had been hiding on the side drinking tea, replied somewhat helplessly.
"...The emperor and his entourage only now discovered Ye Lang's existence, and finally understood that this matter was actually done by Ye Lang."
At this time, a figure flashed by in the crowd and came to Ye Lang's side, looking at him with some displeasure...
"Anyway, your method won't work, you've already broken the rules!" Seventh Brother said with great dissatisfaction. This isn't playing with us, and yet he says that as long as we lift this thing up, everything will be fine? Is that really going to be okay?
"Don't worry, I didn't break any rules, just watch like this! Hey, Seventh Princess, why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Lang said, then turned to the person who was staring at him, and that person happened to be the Seventh Princess.
The Seventh Princess came today with all her heart and soul, but she didn't expect to run into Ye Lang, let alone that he was helping his future seventh sister-in-law solve a difficult problem!
"What did you say?" The Seventh Princess was still somewhat displeased, and she pulled at Ye Lang's hand, pinching it hard.
"What are you talking about?" Ye Lang looked at Seventh Princess with confusion, completely not understanding her meaning.
Meanwhile, the problem over there is ongoing. Up until now, after seeing the black hole, no one has passed by again, and everyone has taken a detour.
Even if someone can't see the pothole on the ground, they will still notice it because most people are taking a detour around it, which means that no one has any chance of ignoring the pothole. This is probably why Ye Lang chose to do this when there were many people around.
"Idiot, who are you helping now?" Seventh Princess slapped Ye Lang's hand.
"What's wrong, Seventh Sister of the future?" Ye Lang replied very naturally.
"Do you know what this is about?" Seventh Princess continued to ask.
"I know. It seems that His Majesty wants to give each of his children a difficult problem, and then she comes to me for help." Ye Lang continued to answer.
"Now that you know, why didn't you come ask me?" The Seventh Princess pouted and said, her action causing the emperor and his entourage to pause in surprise.
They had almost never seen Seventh Princess make such an expression, although she wasn't the most important person to everyone, but after all, she was still their own daughter and sister, so they should have some understanding of her.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Lang asked dully.
Alas, I really don't know what to say to you. Why are you sometimes so clever and sometimes so dull? Seventh Brother and the Emperor shook their heads in unison.
The Seventh Princess is a princess, that is, the emperor's daughter. Since the emperor's sons and daughters all have difficulties, she naturally won't be an exception either.
"You idiot!!!" The Seventh Princess had guessed that Ye Lang hadn't thought of it, "I'm a princess, don't you forget, Father also gave me a difficult problem, didn't you think of it?"
