"Ahem, I'm sorry, I was reckless. Lord Zuo suddenly realized his faux pas, and he put Chen Mu down gently, his face scornful. "By the way, what did you just say?", he seemed to hear something very important.

"I've found a cure for the plague. Chen Mu glared at Zuo Xiquan, his eyes were almost spewing sparks, half an hour later, Lord Zuo took a prescription, and was driven out of the yard by a young girl, and the guards who were hiding outside the gate to peep held back a bad smile.

"Two coins of betel nut, one penny each of magnolia, zhimu, peony, skullcap, five cents of grass fruit and licorice, Lord Zuo, who prescribed this prescription? The chief physician looked at the prescription with a look of disbelief.

"You don't have to worry about this, you just say, can this medicine cure the plague?" Zuo Xiquan's face was calm.

"I can give it a try. The Imperial Physician replied.

The man picked up the prescription and walked out of the door quickly, the plague in Yucheng was menacing, and thousands of people suffering from the plague were isolated outside Yucheng waiting to die.

Seven days later, the plague in Yucheng was gradually controlled, and the weather here suddenly cleared, and everything developed for the better, but all the credit was pushed to Zuo Xiquan, legend has it that after the abolition of Baili Yan in this disaster relief, even the last guard who participated in the disaster relief was also promoted, and when the court talked about meritorious deeds, even the name of Baili Yan was not mentioned.

As the sun set, under the warm orange sunset, the carriages headed in the direction of Yanjing, and the prefect of Yucheng, Xu Chunlai, and the people waved for them, and the flood and plague finally came to an end.

In the carriage, a man and a woman looked at each other.

"Baili Yan, why do you give me all your merits?" the man wondered.

"This merit is a poison to me, but it is the icing on the cake to you. The woman chuckled, as bright as a peach blossom in March.

"It's a good time to make a name for yourself, but it's incomprehensible to be so unbearable by you. The man sneered, his face carefree, although he always cared about revitalizing the prestige of the family, he was unwilling to use the merits of others to add glory to himself.

"Oh! The daughter of a little businessman, overnight, actually has a secret weapon to blow up mountains and destroy forests, do you say, will she become the target of the world's people's scrambling? Or will she also become a thorn in the eyes of the world's people. The woman sighed softly.

"So, you let me bear the fame for you, and by the way, be the nail, but you will sit back and relax from now on? The man leaned his head heavily on the carriage cushion in a helpless tone.

"No! It's not me, it's the emperor, otherwise, he wouldn't have sealed everyone involved in this disaster relief in advance, I just pushed the boat along the river. "The emperor, the old fox, is really scheming, and the woman sneered.

"Well, this is my fate, and I can't blame others. "As a minister, you must put the holy will first, as a son of man, you must take the glory of the family as your own responsibility, from then on, the merit of Yucheng to control the water is recognized by him, and the suspicion and entrapment of the people of the world are also carried by him for Baili Yan.

Overnight, the news of Yucheng's bombing of the mountain spread as quickly as a spark on fire, and the monarchs of the Southern Shu Kingdom, the Western Xia Kingdom and other monarchs had already gathered hundreds of civil and military officials overnight to discuss how to obtain such a secret weapon for bombing the mountain, while the other small countries were also restless.

The trend of the world has faintly begun to change, the Dayan Dynasty has quietly gained the upper hand, and Zuo Xiquan of the Ningguo Mansion has also become a hero in the eyes of the people of the world.

In the palace of Master Qin, a white-clothed beauty is caressing the qin in the lake, the lake is green, and the willows are still there.

"Miss, this is a pink-billed parrot sent by the second son of Ning Guofu, with bright feathers and a well-behaved temperament, and it is difficult to find a second one in the entire Yanjing City. The maidservant girl Tsing Yi approached with a birdcage.

"Oh! Zuo Nanhao? Why hasn't he given up? I've rejected him ninety-eight times, this person is really thick-skinned. The beauty has a cold gaze, her eyes reveal disdain and ridicule, the man is really very cheap in his bones, the more he can't get it, the more reluctant he is, what his mother said is really right.

"I think this person is stupid, but it's a little cute, unlike other men, who turned to other women after being rejected by the young lady a few times. Tsing Yi smiled slightly, looking well-behaved.

"If you think he is good, it is better to let Miss Ben lead the line for you, my Qin Qinglian's maidservant, be the daughter-in-law of his Ningguo family, although her identity is not worthy, her appearance and personality are more than enough, and you can't make a mistake in being a concubine. The beauty sneered, like a cold winter ice sword, poking people's hearts and lungs.

"Miss is angry, Tsing Yi's status is humble, and she has always only served Miss as a subordinate, how dare she worry about the power of Ning Guofu?" The maid broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"You have not made a mistake, why do you need to kneel, besides, it is human nature to covet power, get up. The beauty smiled lightly.

"Miss, the second son of the left, the fifth prince, and the son of the Duanmu family have all invited you to play, tomorrow, which son's appointment do you want to go to?" Tsing Yi got up and asked.

"The second son on the left. The beauty replied after thinking for a moment.

"But you have never rejected the fifth prince before?" rejecting the son of the Duanmu family, that is a matter of course, but the fifth prince is obviously so good with Miss, how can Miss Tsing Yi be very puzzled.

"You're thinking too much, I just want to ...... It's just a matter of getting to know Zuo Xiquan through him. "That Zuo eldest son, who suddenly became famous and possessed a peerless secret weapon, is worthy of her Qin Qinglian's more study, as for Zuo Nanhao, who can't be on the stage, he is destined to be just a stepping stone for her.

And the Baili Mansion in Yanjing City is also very lively.

In the past few days, Baili Chengzheng has tried every means to please his wife Wu Miaoyu, bought the best rouge gouache for his wife today, beat his legs and rubbed his waist for his wife tomorrow, and invited a singing opera for his wife the day after tomorrow, made a few delicious side dishes for his wife during the day, and served his wife very gently late at night, using thousands of tricks, and finally let Wu Miaoyu lose most of his anger.

"This fried beef brisket is made by the master himself, come, and dedicate it to Mrs. Baili Cheng knelt on the ground, smiling very flatteringly.

"Get up, count on your conscience. Wu Miaoyu smiled shyly, with a smug look on her face.

"Madame has a lot, why do you need to be angry with me? I approached the eldest lady, for the sake of our small family, our family Feng'er is my eldest brother's bloodline, then Chen Mengyu is just an outsider, not worthy of being the mistress of the Baili family at all. Bai Licheng rubbed his shoulders for Wu Miaoyu and said something at the same time.

"That is, Feng'er is the eldest brother's nephew, and now that the eldest brother is sick, it is time for our family Feng'er to be the master, then Chen Mengyu is simply a wolf ambition. Wu Miaoyu was also extremely angry.

"When I deceive that Chen Mengyu, and then coax the power in her hands, all the property of the Baili family will be all yours and Feng'er. Baili Cheng continued to fan the flames.

"In the end, you still have to accept that slut, she is your sister-in-law, and you are not afraid of being poked in the back by others. Wu Miaoyu poked the man's temple with her finger, eager to poke him to death, this fishy wild cat, still thinking about the piece of fox meat.

"For you and Feng'er, even if the sky thunders, I'm not afraid. The woman in front of her was not even a third of her sister-in-law, and Baili Cheng secretly swallowed her saliva.

"Something without conscience, don't beat your sister-in-law yet, your niece is about to return to Yanjing from Yucheng, if she returns to Baili's house, our good days will come to an end." Wu Miaoyu's tone was cold.

"Hmph, don't worry, the Baili family is not what she wants to come, the girl who marries, the water that is spilled, and the property of the Baili family, she doesn't want to take away a penny. Bai Li Cheng sneered twice, his eyes as cold as sudden poison.

Late at night, dark clouds blocked the white moon, a black shadow slipped over Baili Mansion, the shadow carried simple luggage, clumsily climbed over the courtyard wall, "Bang!" sound, the shadow fell on the side of the wall, and finally escaped from Baili Mansion.

But suddenly countless torches were lit, illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day, and also illuminating the appearance of the shadows, a chubby middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a kind appearance, was Wang Cheng, the chief butler of Baili Mansion, but since Chen Mengyu became the head of the family, Wang Cheng had already been removed from his position as a housekeeper.

In the fiery red light, a delicate and beautiful woman walked in, wearing a black cloak and her eyes were vicious.

"Wang Cheng, why did you leave Baili Mansion on this big night?" the beautiful woman sneered.

"The old man is seriously ill, and the slave is useless in the house, so he wants to return to his hometown to cultivate the fields, and asks for his understanding. Wang Cheng's palms were full of cold sweat, he has always done things secretly, who leaked the news to his wife?

"I'll just ask you, the old man was sober once a few days ago, and what did he say to you in private. The beautiful woman continued to ask.

"Sir...... The old man was delirious, and repeated the name of the young lady, without telling the servant anything. Wang Cheng's forehead also oozed from the bean-sized Han droplet.

"Nonsense, he must have asked you to report to Baili Yan, this old immortal, dying, still thinking about his precious daughter. The beautiful woman slapped Wang Cheng to the ground, and her eyes almost burst into flames.

"I beg my wife to spare my little life. Wang Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Come, pull him down, cut off his legs, pull out his tongue, disfigure his face, and throw him into the mountains to feed the dogs. The beautiful woman chuckled.

"Chen Mengyu, you femme fatale, you poison the master, you seek to seize the position of the head of the Baili family, you can't die well, you can't die well!" The middle-aged man who was walked by several big men cried and cursed.
