The hot pot is sweaty to eat, and it is called a comfortable. However, His Majesty didn't come back in the end, and it seemed that he was resting at Concubine De's, so Xiao Rui also returned to the East Palace, and at the same time asked Xiaoxiao to go back to rest early.

Xiao Rui returned to the East Palace, and immediately asked Lu Pheasant to prepare a hot bath, washed comfortably, and went to sleep with Ruoxue in his arms.

The next morning, Emperor Xia severely reprimanded the officials of the Shangshang Jin, the Shenzhou Assassin and the Shenzhou City Governor did not report it, causing the plague to intensify, how did such an official pass the annual assessment of the Ministry of Officials?

The ministers were silent, listening honestly, not daring to breathe.

Subsequently, Emperor Xia ordered all state capitals across the country to be more vigilant, Shenzhou can have acne for no reason, other state capitals may also occur, and even other situations such as plague, only early detection and early treatment can minimize the loss.

After leaving the court, the cabinet arranged for the six ministries to take action, sent post stations and fast horses to convey the will issued by His Majesty, and ordered the state capitals to be vigilant and self-examined. This time, His Majesty was very angry, and the punishment was very strong, if any local official neglected his duties, it would not be as simple as throwing away the black gauze hat.

At the same time, the situation in Shenzhou also sent the latest developments every day, so that Emperor Xia, who was far away in Kyoto, knew about it.

Guo Ziyi and Hua Tuo also rushed to Shenzhou as quickly as possible, and then immediately started quarantine, and Hua Tuo began to try to inoculate according to the method of pox seeding provided by Xiao Rui. On the one hand, Guo Ziyi maintained the law and order of Shenzhou City and the mood of the people to avoid the formation of a civil uprising, and on the other hand, Shenzhou City was the center to investigate the nearby prefectures and counties. And this investigation found that there were acne cases in three prefectures and sixteen counties in Shenzhou!

This incident immediately aroused Guo Ziyi's great attention, and immediately blocked these places, forbade people from going out, and violators were severely punished, and then continued to expand the scope of investigation.

Guo Ziyi acted calmly, suppressed the situation, and did not let Shenzhou have a civil uprising.

And when Xiao Rui and Xia Huang learned of the situation, they both sighed.

The fear really happened, if Shenzhou City could be closed in time when there were acne, maybe the spread would not be so large.

And the investigation in the next few days made everyone's hearts slowly relieved, and there was no sign of the plague in the investigation outside! Other prefectures and counties are normal!

In ancient times, transportation was not convenient, which was not only a disadvantage, but also slowed down the human-to-human transmission of acne and malignant diseases, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Of course, there is good news!

After Hua Tuo arrived in Shenzhou, he immediately started to try according to the method of pox planting provided by Xiao Rui, he was a miracle doctor, although he tried it for the first time, it was very stable. With the vaccination of the pox personnel, the success of the pox trial is proven! The people also know that as long as you have acne, you are not afraid of getting it again, so the success of pox is of great significance!

This news immediately spread throughout Shenzhou, making those people who were sincerely frightened breathe a long sigh of relief.

Subsequently, the pox began to spread on a large scale.

After Emperor Xia learned of the situation, he clenched his fists excitedly to express his joy, and then patted Xiao Rui's shoulder fiercely, and sighed: "Emperor, how do you know the method of planting pox?" Do you know how many people in the world will be saved by your idea? With this act alone, you will be remembered in history and by future generations! ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "When Erchen was also inspecting the state capital, he heard a wandering Taoist mention it, but I didn't expect it to be true!" The world is so big, there are really talented people hidden! ”

The clever Xiao Rui immediately gave the pot to the mysterious Taoist, and this stalk was simply unpleasant.

Emperor Xia did not doubt, and continued: "The people who have not been infected can be vaccinated, and the infected people are divided into grades and isolated according to their conditions, and how many people can survive depends on their creation." ”

Once infected with acne, there is no specific medicine, and whether or not you can survive really depends on the condition of the infected person.

It's just that...

The two were not happy for a few days, and suddenly a post official in Hangzhou Mansion sent an official document urgently, and there were suspected acne patients in Hangzhou Mansion, and what worried Xiao Rui even more was that Tang Wang Xiao Yan also had chills and high fever!

This news was no less than a thunderbolt from the blue, which made Xiao Rui stunned.

The anxious Xiao Rui immediately asked His Majesty, "Father, the son is going to Hangzhou Mansion!" ”

Emperor Xia immediately glared at him and shouted, "Don't go!" ”

Xiao Rui said anxiously: "Tang Wang, his current situation is unknown, if he really has acne, what should he do?" ”

Emperor Xia asked rhetorically: "If King Tang has acne, will you have a way to solve it?" It only adds to the chaos! ”

Xiao Rui shook his head, but he still insisted on pleading: "Father, among the eight brothers, I have the closest relationship with King Tang, he is now sick, I have to go to see him, I should see him for the last time, and ask my father to fulfill it!" ”

If Xiao Yan is here, he will definitely blow up, he is not dead yet, and he will see the last side of a fart!

Emperor Xia sighed and said, "From the perspective of family affection, you should go, but from the perspective of righteousness, you can't go!" ”

"Father..."

Xiao Rui shouted anxiously, but Emperor Xia immediately interrupted his words and said strongly: "I will send King Jin to Hangzhou Mansion to check, you must stay in Kyoto!" ”

After speaking, Emperor Xia left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Xiao Rui sighed, he was very worried about Xiao Yan in his heart, this is his brother in this life, a sibling brother.

Yan Xiaoxiao comforted: "Your Highness, the official document of Hangzhou Mansion said that it is only suspected that there is smallpox plague, not necessarily yes, after all, Shenzhou is so far away from Hangzhou Mansion, it is impossible for the Shenzhou plague to pass through." ”

This reminded Xiao Rui that since the plague broke out in Shenzhou, there must be a reason, but now Hangzhou Mansion is also suspicious, these two places are thousands of miles apart, the geographical location, environment, and living habits are different, why is Hangzhou Mansion also suspicious, not other places?

In addition, Xiao Yan is a thorn and lives a wealthy life, if he was really infected by the plague, then how was he infected?

It's weird!

Just when Xiao Rui was puzzled, the system that had been silent for a short period of time reacted again.

"Ding-dong... Mission on! ”

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, this juncture gave the task, if it had nothing to do with this plague, Xiao Rui would dare to eat the table live!

So Xiao Rui immediately opened the system and checked the newly arrived tasks.

"New Mission 1: Save King Jing Xiao Yan! Quest completed, advent +100, quest failed, Xiao Yan burped. The current Advent value is 0/100, and the Wish value is 2/3. ”

"New Mission 2: Save King Xiao Lie of Jin! Quest completed, advent +50, quest failed, Xiao Lie burped. The current Advent value is 0/100, and the Wish value is 2/3. ”

Xiao Rui was quite happy, it turned out to be two tasks, and the rewards were so rich, saving Xiao Yan was directly rewarded once, which was a rare generosity in recent months. But why is saving Xiao Lie only half of the advent value of saving Xiao Yan?

Is the system also discriminating against Xiao Lie?

However, these two tasks made Xiao Rui have other ideas.

Xiao Yan is in Hangzhou Mansion, and it is possible to be infected with smallpox, but if he is really infected, he will save a fart? Whether he is dead or alive depends on the severity of his condition, and the mortality rate is not something that Xiao Rui can control. Unless he's not a pox, the system will let itself save it, which makes sense.

Xiao Lie is in Kyoto, he doesn't have acne, what to save him?

Could it be that the son who saved him pestered him all day long to see the prince's uncle?

Then there is only one possibility, Xiao Lie will also encounter danger when he goes to Hangzhou Mansion!

This aroused Xiao Rui's vigilance, it seems that there is no acne in Hangzhou Mansion, but someone has set up a trap!

However, His Majesty has made up his mind and does not allow Xiao Rui to go to Hangzhou Mansion, and it is useless for Xiao Rui to argue now. With no choice, Xiao Rui immediately went out of the palace to Zhan Shifu, explained the situation to Zhang Liang, and asked him to take Dian Wei and Yang Youji and more than a dozen iron dragoons to Hangzhou Mansion to improvise.

On the same day, before Xiao Lie, the king of Jin, set off, Zhang Liang and his people left Kyoto in a hurry.

Xiao Rui continued to return to the Heart Cultivation Hall to study, and when Emperor Xia saw that Xiao Rui no longer mentioned going to Hangzhou Mansion, he asked, "You are so quiet, are you going to sneak away?" ”

Xiao Rui said speechlessly: "Father, the son is the prince, this ethics is still there, there is no level of sneaking, how can the son do that kind of thing!" ”

Emperor Xia snorted coldly and said, "Don't you know who I am?" I have already asked Hai Dafu to inform the palace gates, if the King of Jin does not come back from Hangzhou Mansion, you are not ready to leave the palace! ”

"Erchen protests!" Xiao Rui resisted.

Emperor Xia glared: "The protest is invalid!" ”

Xiao Rui was deflated, there was no way, who called the other party not only a father, but also a gentleman! But if this breath of restricted freedom is not released, how can we be calm?

"Father, Father-in-law Hai actually snickered! He's making fun of his sons and his father! Xiao Rui exposed Hai Dafu's sinister intentions on the spot.

In the face of Xiao Rui's attack, Hai Dafu had already mastered the mental quality of not panicking, knelt down directly, and said calmly: "The slave confesses!" ”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Deduct a fortune as a punishment!" Get up! ”

Hai Dafu pursed his lips, it is true that he is not shocked, but there is still a faint sadness, it is all his own coffin, can you leave some before you die?

Xiao Rui was relieved.

The sun was setting, and when Xiao Rui was about to ask for a retreat, an internal official entered the hall and whispered a few words to Hai Dafu.

After Hai Dafu heard this, he said to Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, Princess Yuqing asks to see!" ”

"Why did this girl come here? Let her in. Xia Huang nodded.

Xiao Rui stayed and took a look at what was going on for the time being.

His father has nine sons and five princesses, but these five princesses are all married and live in their respective princesses' mansions, Xiao Rui does not have much communication with them, and when they meet, they just say hello, no different from strangers.

This Yuqing princess is the daughter of the imperial concubine Lin Yu'er, named Xiao Xue.

Since Queen Zhou Xiangyun lost power and became seriously ill, all matters in the harem have been taken care of by Lin Yuer, in the harem full of deceit, whoever holds the most power is the boss, so now the concubines are all looking forward to Lin Yuer.

Compared with Zhou Xiangyun's viciousness, Lin Yuer's attitude towards Xiao Rui is average, but as Xiao Rui becomes the prince, he has naturally become a thorn in the flesh.

Soon, a woman in her twenties outside the hall, whose appearance was not very beautiful, but also beautiful, cried into the hall, and after bowing, she cried: "Father, please also ask your father to be the master of his daughter!" ”

Emperor Xia asked, "Who provoked you, crying like this!" Sit down and talk! ”

Xiao Xue said: "Who else can there be, donkey!" He actually hid from his daughter to raise a concubine, and after I caught him, he was still hard-mouthed! Father, I want to reconcile with him, and please ask my father for permission! ”

Xiao Rui was happy when he heard it, what did he say, he would rather shepherd sheep than be a horse, this is a difficult profession, Xiao Rui traveled through ancient times to admire the person who is a horse master.

There are very few tough horses, and most of them love the same style.

I think that this princess of Yuqing is also a hard-working person.

As soon as Emperor Xia heard that it was a trivial matter in the family, he had a headache. When he was thinking about how to solve it, he saw Xiao Rui's smile!

All right! Are you gloating?

"How can this be true? If the colt has done such a thing, I must punish him severely! Emperor Xia suddenly shouted loudly, angry, but his tone changed, and then said: "But everything must be reasonable, I am the king of a country, and I can't listen to your words alone, so let the prince replace me, handle this matter well, and make you satisfied!" ”

Xiao Rui was a little confused, Your Majesty's means of transferring the burden are so slippery! I knew this was the case, and I just slipped away! This bustle is not seen, but becomes labor.

Xiao Xue knew that she couldn't change His Majesty's attitude, so she said, "Thank you, Father, then trouble His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Rui, his eyes contained deep meaning, and he seemed to say: You don't take the trick and try it.

Xiao Rui could only say honestly: "Erchen obeys the order!" ”

Then Princess Yuqing retreated, and Xiao Rui also said goodbye and went back, still at ease in his East Palace!

Back in the East Palace, Xiao Rui, who was in a very unhappy mood, immediately asked Lu Pheasant to prepare hot water and wait for him to bathe. Feeling the smooth fingers pressed on his shoulder, Xiao Rui's mood became happy.
