"The water has receded!"
Someone shouted, and the exhausted crowd suddenly snapped to attention.
Despite his age, the old imperial doctor ran swiftly. Hearing the call, he quickly went to take a look and returned, nodding excitedly, "It's true! Now, the floodwater outside only reaches my knees."
At this moment, a group of officials entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the sound of orders being disputed followed.
"Reconfirm whether the canal connections outside East Splendor Gate, West Gate, and Xuanwu Gate have been fully cleared."
"They have been cleared!"
"General Zhao, please take a squad of guards to inspect the parapet on the other side of Xuanwu Gate; that section of the wall is very old, and its condition is uncertain."
"Understood."
"Eunuch Zhang, kindly send the Inner Supervision to Yong Street and the Imperial Court again. These areas are low and remote, and people might still be trapped there."
"I am aware."
