On the county lord's mansion, Su Zhenzhen was awakened, and she had a dream that the county lord had been framed in the south and could never come back.

Since returning from the palace, Su Zhenzhen has not slept well, and before going to bed, she will think of the disbelieving smile shown by the minister next to her when she entered the palace to argue for the county lord.

At that moment, she even felt that the southern plague had nothing to do with these ministers.

Su Zhenzhen frowned, rubbed her temples, and her eyes and nose were about to clench.

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door outside.

Su Zhenzhen put down her hand rubbing her temples, closed the quilt tightly, and "Come in."

It was the servant who came in.

"Girl, a lady has come to visit you." The servant said softly.

"Okay, let her in."

When the servant went to invite the lady, Suzhen lifted the quilt, straightened her clothes, and sat down at the table.

It was Mrs. Duwei, who had a beautiful face and looked very young.

"Is the girl feeling better?" Mrs. Duwei's voice was comfortable and gentle, and when she heard it, she thought of a clear spring in the mountains.

"It's already a little better, and it's estimated that I'll be cured after a while of rest." Su Zhenzhen smiled.

Mrs. Duwei, who was sitting opposite Su Zhenzhen, looked at Su Zhenzhen and sighed softly.

"What's wrong with Madame, why do you sigh as soon as you come in." Su Zhenzhen asked as she poured tea.

"I heard from the mouth of the lieutenant of my family that you argued for the county lord, and I deeply feel that the county lord is so worthy of having a friend like you." Madame looked down at the teacup on the table.

Su Zhenzhen smiled gently, but her words were firm, "What is worthy and unworthy, but I have always believed in the county lord." ”

"I admire the courage of the girl to argue with so many courtiers, but I just want the girl to stop doing useless work." Madame set her eyes on Su Zhenzhen.

Hearing this, Su Zhenzhen knew the position of Mrs. Du Wei in her heart, and before she could speak, Mrs. said again, "Some of the ministers of the DPRK and China are stubborn, and there is no room for new power in their eyes; Some are just for profit, and they are still attached to the majority of the court. They said that the county lord was ruthless, but they also knew that the county lord had controlled the epidemic, but they still had to say it. ”

"Those people's thoughts in their hearts, you can't change them, girl."

Su Zhenzhen spoke, "What I am doing now is to protect my friend's reputation, she has no other ideas at all, so why should she be framed and wronged for no reason." ”

"I know the county lord's heart, so I will still insist on arguing those who say that the county lord is ruthless."

A county lord who has people in his eyes and heart is now said to be ruthless, Su Zhenzhen's mind came to the scene when the county lord told her that day that she was going south, and thought of the county lord's brave smile.

Seeing that Su Zhenzhen's tone was firm, and it was difficult to say anything more, Mrs. Du Wei wanted to go home.

Su Zhenzhen's persistence and affirmation of the county lord almost brought her a blood disaster.

One day, Su Zhenzhen felt bored in the house and wanted to go to the market. When she came to a hairpin shop, she heard two people whispering something next to her, and Su Zhenzhen kept listening, her face becoming darker and darker.

"Do you repeat what you just said?" Su Zhenzhen's expression was serious, and her tone was not good when she spoke.

"You don't care what I just said, you're Su Zhenzhen, right?" The man also looked like he couldn't be messed with, "Are you fighting for the county lord again?" ”

The man, with the maid and the guards, surrounded Su Zhenzhen, only to hear a cold snort, and the maid's fists and feet began to face Su Zhenzhen's face.

Su Zhenzhen subconsciously closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she found that there was no movement, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the guards of the county lord's mansion were blocking the maid, and on the periphery, there was another layer of guards surrounding the person.

"Yes, the rescuers are coming quite quickly," the man saw that there were many people on Su Zhenzhen's side, and his heart was a little weak, but his surface strength was calm.

"I'll let you go today, and you'll wait next time." The man gave Su Zhenzhen and her guards a vicious look, and then led the people to withdraw in a huff.

After Su Zhenzhen was brought back to the house, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Her body was not good in the first place, and she was frightened again in the market today, Su Zhenzhen only felt a little stuffy now, and after returning to her room to sleep, she woke up with a large wet patch on the side of her pillow.

It's Khan. Su Zhenzhen subconsciously touched her forehead, and it was hot. She got up and walked to the corridor, and when she got out of bed, she felt weak in her steps, sweat dripping from her forehead to her face, and she didn't want to care, and when she saw the servant, she asked her to go to the doctor.

When the servant saw that Su Zhenzhen was so weak, he immediately called the doctor and asked Su Zhenzhen to help her to the room.

On the side of the palace, the ninth princess wanted to come to visit Su Zhenzhen.

After Concubine Xian found out, she had some words with her, and she was relieved to let the ninth princess come.

When she came to the county lord's mansion, the ninth princess saw Su Zhenzhen lying asleep on the bed, and her hand gently touched her forehead, which was still a little hot.

The ninth princess wondered in her heart, hadn't the high fever already subsided?

When she went out, she called a servant casually and asked the reason for the matter, the ninth princess was angry in her heart, and at the same time felt sorry for Su Zhenzhen.

After a while, Su Zhenzhen woke up and saw the Ninth Princess sitting in her room, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Why are you here?"

Hearing the words of the person on the bed, the ninth princess immediately raised her head, "Of course I came to visit you, fortunately I came, otherwise I wouldn't know about you." ”

"What's the matter with me?" Su Zhenzhen knew that the ninth princess was talking about the bazaar, but she only acted as if she didn't understand.

"Do you know who that person is, if you know, I'll take someone to beat her up immediately." The ninth princess narrowed her eyes and patted the table.

Knowing that the Ninth Princess was angry, Su Zhenzhen wanted to get up from the bed, so the Ninth Princess quickly walked to her bedside and let Su Zhenzhen lean on the bed.

"I just have a fever, and it's not a serious illness."

"Has the doctor seen it? Do you need me to bring the Imperial Doctor? The Ninth Princess asked with concern.

"No, no, the doctor said that it was just a fever, and he prescribed me medicine, and I will be fine after taking it for a few days." Su Zhenzhen looked at the worry on the Ninth Princess's face, wanted to comfort her, and changed the topic by the way, "Why are you free today?" ”

"Oh, by the way, the concubine knows that I came to visit you and wants me to bring you a few words." The Ninth Princess took out her handkerchief and said while gently wiping Su Zhenzhen's forehead.

After relaying Concubine Xian's words, the ninth princess saw that it was getting late, so she prepared to leave.

Su Zhenzhen sent someone to send the ninth princess out of the gate, and the ninth princess also told her to worry less and take more care of her body before leaving.

Outside the house, the sunset was setting, and Su Zhenzhen was lying on the bed, thinking about what Concubine Xian said.

"The county lord has grown into a witty and decisive adult, and she has her own thoughts before doing anything. It's the same with the disaster management, I believe she also knows what the consequences of her governance method will bring, besides, the prince's people are also in the court, so naturally they will also report to the county lord about the court's discussions. So you don't have to worry too much, it's all your own mood that disturbs you. ”

From Concubine Xian's mouth, Su Zhenzhen knew that the county lord was aware of the dissatisfaction of the court and the central government with her methods of dealing with the disaster.

Since the last time the Ninth Princess relayed Concubine Xian's words, Su Zhenzhen advised herself to cultivate her body with peace of mind first, although her mind still thought of the county lord from time to time.

Speaking of the county lord, since she managed the disaster in the south, the epidemic has been well controlled, and she is planning to return to Beijing and report the situation to the emperor.

After several days of traveling, the county lord went straight to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the county lord is back." A father-in-law came in from outside the door and said happily.

At that time, the emperor was summoning a group of ministers to discuss things in the palace, and when he heard that the county lord had returned, he directly asked the county lord to come to the palace.

The ministers next to him also had ideas in their hearts, and they had long been dissatisfied with the county lord's means and methods of dealing with the disaster.

"See the Emperor." The county lord stepped forward and saluted.

During this period of going south, the county lord got up early and late every day to comfort the people, understand the source of the plague, and when it came to controlling the epidemic, she tried her best to defy public opinion, and decisively took corresponding and timely methods, and even went to the victim's house alone, and for so many days, she never complained, and she never feared.

After this period, the emperor saw a county lord who was a little different from before, and when the county lord looked up at him after saluting, he felt that the child in front of him had really grown up, and he saw responsibility and responsibility on her shoulders.

"Hurry up." The emperor stood up, walked up to the county lord, and patted her on the shoulder, "It's hard to return to Beijing in the dust." ”

Seeing this scene, the officials present couldn't help it.

"The county lord is indeed effective in controlling the epidemic, but the means are too ruthless."

An official opened his mouth.

"That is, the county lord, you govern like this, you can know what the people are talking about......"

"The people's hearts are not stable, the county lord, you have to think twice after doing things."

"Regardless of the feelings of the victims, how can they cooperate with you in the future."

……

After the first official opened his mouth, the other officials pointed the finger at the county lord.

"My lords, I have my own way of doing things, and you have seen it, and the disaster has been well controlled." The county lord spoke slowly, and wanted to say something more, but the emperor moved his lips.

"You people complain to me every day that the county lord is too ruthless, but you don't have a good way to deal with the disaster, so you know that you are talking about it here."

Hearing the emperor say this, the officials present were silent.

Obviously, the emperor is protecting the county lord.

"When you come up with a good way to do it yourself, then come and talk to me about the county lord." There was a hint of disgust in the emperor's eyes, "Let's go down first." ”

In order to express their dissatisfaction, some officials waved their sleeves vigorously and looked at other colleagues, the Son of Heaven has spoken, why are they still standing here? Let's go.

After the ministers left, the emperor sighed, and then spoke, "I have wronged you during this time, in fact, the ministers have no malice." ”

"I understand their feelings, but I never feel aggrieved if I can manage the disaster well." She knew what to face from the moment she decided to go south, and from the moment she did things, she decided not to care about other people's opinions.

"If the emperor has nothing to do, the minister will retire first." The county lord smiled at the emperor.

"Okay, you've worked hard all the way, go back and rest." The emperor looked at the county lord, his eyes were full of concern, "By the way, if you want anything, just talk to me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but let's wait until the plague is gone." The county lord saluted and slowly withdrew from the palace.

After coming out of the palace, the county lord rode his horse to the county lord's mansion.

Thinking that he would be able to meet Su Zhenzhen later, the county lord was still a little excited, and he was smiling all the way.

Su Zhenzhen was drinking medicine in the house at this time, and sometimes she couldn't stand the smell of medicine in the room.

"I'm back!" Before she could step into Su Zhenzhen's room, the voice of the county lord came, and Su Zhenzhen heard the familiar voice, and immediately raised her head to see the county lord standing in front of the door with a smile.

When old friends meet, the most difficult thing to control is their own eyes.

"Don't cry, I haven't seen how to become a good cryer for so long."

The county lord sat down next to Su Zhenzhen and took her hand, and the bell on her wrist made a crisp and pleasant sound from time to time.

Su Zhenzhen wiped the tears that were about to overflow and squeezed out a smile, "Why did you come back?" ”

"I came back to report something to the emperor, and I just came out of the palace." The county lord touched the corner of Su Zhenzhen's eyes, and tears melted into her fingertips.
