CHAPTER XXXII
On the third day after King Xing was sent to the fiefdom, the plague completely broke out in the capital.
The sky in the capital is shrouded in gloom all day long.
"Be careful on the road, and come back early when you get off the court." Xia Fenglan straightened Chu Yunxi's collar and said, "Also, don't go near those places where the epidemic is strict." ”
"You have to say this every day." Chu Yunxi stretched out his index finger and tapped Xia Fenglan's forehead, his tone was quite helpless, "My ears are going to be calloused." ”
"Xi thinks I'm in charge of it?" Xia Fenglan looked at Chu Yunxi and asked.
"Naturally not." Holding Xia Fenglan's head and lightly imprinting a kiss on her forehead, Chu Yunxi said, "I'm very happy that you can care about me like this." ”
"It's getting late, let's go." Xia Fenglan blushed and said.
Chu Yunxi nodded, and under the gaze of Xia Fenglan's escort, he got into the sedan chair.
"I asked my uncle to look for someone a few days ago, but I found it?" On the way to the court, Chu Yunxi walked up to Qin Bowen and asked.
"Your Highness is sure that there is such a person?" Qin Bowen's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "The minister searched all over the medical hall, but there was no one named Mo Baihua. ”
"It shouldn't be." Chu Yunxi also frowned. When the plague broke out in the previous life, the imperial doctors were helpless, and in the end, a folk doctor named Mo Baihua presented a house to treat the plague.
"Your Highness, why are you so obsessed with finding this person named Mo Baihua?" Qin Bowen asked.
"This man has excellent medical skills, and this king thinks that he may be able to solve the problem of the plague." Chu Yunxi said.
"If he really has this ability, His Royal Highness will introduce this person to the emperor, but it will be a great achievement." A hint of calculation flashed in Qin Bowen's eyes, and he mentally calculated that he could use this point to help Chu Yunxi and him seek some benefits.
"Hmm." Chu Yunxi nodded, and Qin Bowen thought of going with her.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing." Qin Bowen said in Chu Yunxi's ear.
"Something." Chu Yunxi asked.
"Prime Minister of Qin, Pei Mo is here." Qin Bowen said.
Chu Yunxi frowned: "What is she doing here?" "At this time in my previous life, I had never heard of Pei Molai.
"I heard that I came to buy a large number of weapons." Qin Bowen said.
"I see." Chu Yunxi groaned for a while and said. The relationship between Qin and the border has always been tense, and it seems that Qin has made up its mind to pacify the border this time. However, according to his father's temperament, Pei Mo may not be able to get weapons so easily.
Qin Bowen said: "It's time to go to court, Your Highness should go quickly." ”
Chu Yunxi nodded and walked into the main hall.
As soon as King Xing and King Jin left, the trend of the court changed slightly. Those who sensed Chu Yunxi's ability began to show favor to Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi hooked her lips, very satisfied with her current state. Two months is enough for her to form a force of her own.
As soon as she returned home, Chu Yunxi went to Lin Wanrou's villa first.
"How's my mother?" Xia Fenglan's eyes were slightly red, and Chu Yunxi took her shoulders and asked.
Xia Fenglan shook her head and said, "Over and over again, it hasn't been good." ”
"It's going to be fine." Chu Yunxi patted Xia Fenglan's shoulder and said softly.
"Your Highness, I just sent a letter from the horse." Jin Ci walked in with an envelope.
"Kim Chol?" Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows and took the envelope, "It's strange today." As soon as Xiuxiu left, Kim Chul immediately returned from Gangnam. Since the outbreak of the plague in the capital, Jin Zhe did not dare to step out of his mansion for fear of contracting the plague.
Chu Yunxi took out the letter and glanced at it.
"Three days later, in Ganyun Temple, the plague can be solved." Chu Yunxi's hand grabbed the letter and tightened unconsciously.
"Where's Kim Chol?" Chu Yunxi's eyes were dark, and he asked Jinci.
"Just went back." Jin Ci said.
"Stop him immediately." Chu Yunxi said, "In the half-pillar incense, this king wants to see people." ”
"Yes." Jin Ci nodded and retreated.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Chu Yunxi's frowning brows, Xia Fenglan asked.
"Look at this." Chu Yunxi gave the letter in his hand to Xia Fenglan.
"This person, could it be the person His Highness has been looking for?" Xia Fenglan asked. Chu Yunxi sent someone to find Mo Baihua, but he didn't hide it from Xia Fenglan.
Chu Yunxi shook his head: "It's not clear, it's just that it must have something to do with that person." Let's go meet Kim Chul first. ”
Xia Fenglan nodded and followed Chu Yunxi's footsteps.
Jin Zhe hadn't gone far before he was arrested by the people of King Jing's Mansion, and he was already panicked in his heart, but now when he saw Chu Yunxi's gloomy eyes, he was even more frightened.
"Who asked you to send the letter?" Chu Yunxi looked directly at this Jin Zhe, and his sharp eyes made people panic.
"Yes...... It's ......" Kim Chul was hesitant and didn't dare to say it.
"Do you know that this letter is full of sentences insulting this king!" Chu Yunxi threw the envelope on Jin Zhe's head, "Since this king can't catch the person behind him, he can only count it all on your head." Insulting the royal family is a capital offense! ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness spares your life, I say, I say!" Kim Chul knelt on the ground and said, "Yes...... It is the prime minister of Qin, Pei Mo. ”
"Pei Mo?" Chu Yunxi was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that it was actually this person.
"Please forgive your highness!" Jin Zhe secretly hated in his heart, he knew that it was this kind of content, and if he killed him, he wouldn't send it. It is also a capital offense to communicate with officials of other countries in private, "I was threatened, so I had to send a letter." I really don't know what's in that letter! ”
"Shut up." Jin Zhe's voice was really annoying, Chu Yunxi glanced at Jin Zhe coldly and said.
Kim Chol was immediately silenced and did not dare to say anything more.
"You can go." Chu Yunxi said to Jin Zhe.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." Kim Chul fled and left.
"When you go back, you know what to say and what not to say." Facing Jin Zhe's back, Chu Yunxi said lightly.
"Yes, yes." Kim Chol replied.
"Your Highness, but Pei Xiang saw your letter?" After Jin Zhe left, Xia Fenglan looked at Chu Yunxi and asked.
"From Liuli Country to Qin Kingdom, it is a three-day journey. I'm afraid that when Xiuxiu went out, Pei Mo was already on the way here. Chu Yunxi said, "The two of them should have missed it." ”
"In three days, Your Highness is going?" Xia Fenglan shook Chu Yunxi's hand, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes, "Fenglan is worried, there will be traps inside." ”
"Don't worry." Chu Yunxi patted the back of Xia Fenglan's hand, "Your father-in-law is not a vegetarian, so it is so easy to be calculated." Besides, I think that Pei Mo's mind is the same as mine. ”
"What does Xi mean, Pei Mo wants to cooperate with you?" Xia Fenglan said, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"I'm afraid so." Chu Yunxi said, a touch of contemplation appeared in his eyes.
"It's a good thing that you two want to go together." Xia Fenglan said, "Why, Xi doesn't look like she's very happy. ”
"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Chu Yunxi waved the letter in his hand and said, "Since Pei Mo has taken out the formula for the plague, what she is seeking must not be simple. ”
"I don't know much about government affairs. But I know that Xi is so smart, there must be a way to satisfy both sides. Xia Fenglan hooked her lips slightly and said.
"You said so, if I suffer a loss, wouldn't it be very shameless?" Chu Yunxi smiled and said to Xia Fenglan.
"Then, Xi Ke has to work hard." Xia Fenglan and Chu Yunxi glanced at each other, their eyes full of smiles.
"Feng Lan is thinking, what am I working on?" Chu Yunxi said, vaguely glancing at Xia Fenglan's delicate figure.
Thinking of the intimacy of Xiyun Palace, Xia Fenglan let out a "boom", her cheeks flushed, her head lowered, and she didn't dare to look at Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi chuckled, took the letter, and walked to the candle flame on the side.
Little by little, the tongue of fire scurried upward, engulfing the letter completely.
"Brocade." Chu Yunxi called Jin Ci, "Send a message to the national teacher for this king, and ask him to mention the matter of praying for blessings in Ganyun Temple with his father tomorrow." ”
"Yes." Jin Ci replied and withdrew.
On the morning of the second day, the emperor really mentioned going to Ganyun Temple to pray for blessings.
"What do you think?" The emperor looked at the courtiers below.
"Erchen thinks it's inappropriate." Chu Yunxi took a step forward and said, "The plague is rampant outside, and my father's body is ten thousand gold, how can he risk his life." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Qin Bowen said, "The affairs of the court and politics are still waiting for the emperor to deal with them, and the emperor must not leave the palace at this moment." ”
"The minister thinks that now is the time when people's hearts are panicking, and at this moment, if people with status pray for the blessings of the people, they will be able to calm people's hearts." Right Xiang took a step forward and said, "Since it is inconvenient for the emperor to travel, then find someone with sufficient status." ”
"So, Aiqing thinks, who is the most suitable?" The Emperor asked.
The right minister glanced at Chu Yunxi and said, "Looking at the court, the minister thinks that King Jing is the most suitable candidate. ”
Now that Chu Yunxi is the only one left in the court, the right minister must try his best to keep Chu Yunxi away from the court.
The words of the right minister made Chu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. The right minister has been targeting her for so long, but it is rare to say a word that suits her heart.
"The minister is against ......" Qin Bowen just wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Chu Yunxi.
"Praying for the blessings of the people is what a son should do." Chu Yunxi looked at the emperor and said, "Since the son is the eldest princess, he has the obligation to take on this responsibility for his father. ”
The emperor looked at Chu Yunxi with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and nodded with satisfaction, the royal woman, it should be like this.
The right minister darkened his eyes, King Jing, I will let you go without returning.
"Your Highness, you are so calm on weekdays, why are you impulsive today?" When he went to the next court, Qin Bowen said to Chu Yunxi, "Do you know how many people will be the target of how many people you will become once you go to pray for blessings?" ”
"I'm tired of my uncle's concern." Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's just that now above the court, King Jin and King Xing are not there, and this matter will fall on this king sooner or later." Instead of being forced to go under the argument, it is better for this king to invite himself to go, and he can also leave a sensible impression in the eyes of his father. ”
Qin Bowen sighed, and also knew that Chu Yunxi was telling the truth: "So, Your Highness, be careful." ”
"Don't worry, this king will be fine." Seeing Qin Bowen's concern, a hint of softness flashed in Chu Yunxi's eyes, "This king said that he wants the position of uncle and prime minister." ”
"Your Highness knows it yourself, so it's fine." Qin Bowen said, "The ministers will send some people to secretly protect His Highness. ”
"In this way, thank you uncle." Chu Yunxi hugged his fists and said.
