Chapter 107: Retribution
When Su Wanqing arrived in the study, the medicine that Chen Jianzhi gave to Su Yuanyi happened to be delivered, Hengwen stepped forward to salute Su Wanqing, and immediately went inside to report.
After a while, Hengwen retreated from the study and said, "Side concubine, please." ”
Su Wanqing nodded, took the initiative to take the medicine from the maidservant's hand, motioned to Hongfu and Li Shun to wait outside, and walked into the study alone.
At this time, Su Yuanyi was burying his head in processing the official documents, heard the footsteps, raised his eyes to look at the comer, and put his left hand on the case to his lips, and let out two slightly hoarse coughs.
Su Wanqing glanced at him, and in his eyes, his face still had a cold and indifferent expression, only his dark eyes showed a little tiredness.
"Lord Wang." She blessed her body slightly, brought the medicine to him, and said with concern: "When was the prince sick?" The concubine didn't even know at all, but did it matter? ”
"No problem." Su Yuanyi didn't have the heart to deal with these words, so he touched the back of the bowl with the back of his hand, and when he saw that it was still hot, he withdrew his hand and said lightly: "Why are you here?" ”
At this hour, she must not have been here to read.
"The concubine has something important to report to the prince." Su Wanqing glanced at him, her expression became serious, and she asked tentatively, "Has the prince heard anything about Yanling recently?" ”
There was no beginning or end to what he said, and Su Yuanyi looked at Su Wanqing with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "What?" ”
Su Wanqing looked at him for a while, paused for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind, and said solemnly: "The concubine is suspicious, there is a plague in Yanling County!" ”
"What did you say?!" Su Yuanyi's deep gaze suddenly froze, and his face sank. It was only for a moment that he reined in his emotions again, only with a slight frown between his brows. He asked coldly: "I don't know where the concubine heard the news, the matter of the 'epidemic' must not be believed!" ”
Don't say that in the world, for thousands of years, the word plague is just listening, it is enough to make people feel terrible. And the rumors of this epidemic should be exploited by people with ulterior motives. If it is spread falsely, even if it does not shake the foundation of the country, it will greatly damage the vitality of a country!
Su Yuanyi had to question the source of this news.
This should have been. Even Su Wanqing herself was a little uncertain about this, because she couldn't believe that the epidemic in Yanling really started so early!
Previous life. Yanling was indeed hit by a plague. At that time, it was the spring of the New Year, and there were suddenly a lot of down-and-out people in the capital, and the people in the city were still strange, who knew that a large number of displaced people would pour into Gyeonggi soon after, and Emperor Zhongzheng ordered a detailed investigation, only to learn that it was the plague that broke out in Yandong!
Before Su Wanqing's death in the previous life, Su Yuanyi left Beijing for several months with the emperor's order, also for the Yanling epidemic.
But Su Wanqing didn't understand. If there are signs of the epidemic now, then why was there no news until March in the previous life? She muttered. Looking at Su Yuanyi's face.
He is always happy and angry, and the change in his expression can be so obvious, he must be extremely shocked and stunned in his heart, and this is shocking...... It doesn't look like a fake.
Su Wanqing secretly thought, thought about it, and told Li Shun about it as it was, her voice was firm and clear, "Although this is the concubine's selfish speculation, but the stakes are very high, after thinking about it, the concubine still feels that the prince must not take it lightly, and according to Li Shun, he is not the only one who died in Yandong Town because of this sick family." ”
Su Yuanyi didn't say a word when he heard this, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were even more unfathomable, and when Su Wanqing finished speaking, he muttered: "Where is Li Shun now?" ”
Su Wanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw him speak, and estimated that this matter could be completed, "Back to the prince, he is outside the door at this moment." ”
Su Yuanyi raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Su Wanqing's gaze like a deep lake, and said unclearly: "The side concubine is really thoughtful. With that, he coughed twice more and called out, "Someone! ”
Hengwen outside the door walked in.
Su Yuanyi waved his hand and said, "Go and bring Li Shun in." ”
"Yes."
Speaking of which, Li Shun has seen a prince-level figure during the day, but these two times are not the same for him.
Su Yuanyang always looks like a hanger in front of people, Li Shun is frightened because he sees a noble man for the first time and is afraid of his status as a prince, but at this moment, Li Shun is kneeling in the study in a cold sweat, but he is forced by Su Yuanyi's cold and oppressive feeling from the inside out.
Li Shun never knew in the past, some people only had expressionless faces, and they could make people shudder when they saw it.
As a result, Li Shun was trembling even more violently than before in front of Su Yuanyang, and even Su Wanqing, who was originally worried about Yanling, couldn't help but be distracted, faintly suspecting that he would accidentally bite his tongue during Su Yuanyi's interrogation.
Su Yuanyi asked some questions, and after roughly a stick of incense, Li Shun wiped his sweat and retreated from the study.
Su Yuanyi's eyes were dark, full of indistinguishable complexity, what Li Shun said was not different from what Su Wanqing said, and if he thought about it, it was also a chill.
After pondering for a while, Su Yuanyi's eyes tightened, and the knuckles of his fingers knocked twice on the case intentionally or unintentionally, and said slowly: "This matter is indeed suspicious, but relying on this person's words alone, it is inconvenient to report it to his father rashly." ”
Su Wanqing knew that he had a plan in mind, and waited quietly for the following.
Su Yuanyi looked at her deeply: "I will leave tomorrow and go to Yanling in person." ”
"Lord Wang!" Su Wanqing was taken aback, and hurriedly spoke out to stop it, if at the beginning, she did have the intention of letting Su Yuanyi take over the important task of fighting the epidemic like in her previous life, just from the moment she heard the news, then now this idea has also been shaken.
After all, Su Yuanyi is sick, his body is not healthier than usual, and the epidemic is fierce, if he accidentally catches the ...... The consequences are unimaginable.
It's not that she can't let go of Su Yuanyi, it's just that if she wants to reverse the fate of her previous life, she still needs him to suppress Shen Qingyi for the time being, if Su Yuanyi has any accidents, wouldn't she want to let the Shen family handle it?
Su Wanqing didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Su Wanqing took a step forward and lowered her eyes and persuaded: "Now I am just going to Yanling to investigate the authenticity of the epidemic, why do you need to work for the prince, besides, as soon as you leave at this time, no one will review these official documents, and no one will say anything, how to explain it to the saint, the prince will not not understand, now we are not clear about anything, it has alarmed others, and the rumors are together, and it will not end well." ”
Su Yuanyi's gloomy eyes flashed, and he said indifferently: "What countermeasures does the side concubine have?" ”
Su Wanqing thought for a while and said: "The concubine thinks that the prince can send Mr. Chen to Yanling to investigate first, if the plague is real, Mr. has excellent medical skills, and he can try to save the people earlier, if the plague is fake, then he can go back to the house quietly." (To be continued......)
