Chapter 34: After the Apocalypse
Puyang Ying died.
Xiao Pingzhang and Dongqing received the news before they returned to the Changlin Palace, and this news was not surprising.
Ye Lingzi is not afraid of death, and Puyang Ying is even more extreme, and he does not hesitate to die. was hit by Xiao Jingning like this, and the respect that he once cared about has disappeared, whether it is the palm or the royal family, there is only resentment left. In the end, all that was left was to apologize to his brother, and for such a ridiculous reason, he killed his brother who was defenseless against him with his own hands.
Brother, brother is wrong.
Brother, you wait for your brother, and your brother will avenge you.
It was my brother who killed you, and now my brother is avenging you by killing myself with his own hands.
Pu Yangying's hand was like a sharp blade, stuck in his chest.
Xiao Jingning received the news later, she didn't know it until the second day, and she was listening to Xiao Yuanshi talk about the problem that she couldn't understand in the third division of the prince. Xiao Jingning is not omnipotent, and his horizons may be broader than ordinary people, but he is still reluctant in court affairs, so he can give some advice, but more so that he can ask Xiao Pingzhang and Xun Baishui for advice.
Regarding the news of Puyang Ying's suicide, Xiao Jingning didn't even give a reaction after hearing it, so he continued to teach Xiao Yuanshi.
That is, the death of an inconsequential person, there is no need to give too much attention.
This Pu Yangying, who disturbed the beams in a mess, his death failed to set off even a little wave, and the sighs of those who knew it were too loud to hear.
By chance, Xiao Pingzhang and Xiao Jingning would suddenly remember that sentence has not yet been lost, what arrangements did Pu Yangying make?
What Puyang Ying wants to deal with is nothing more than the Changlin Mansion and the Daliang royal family, now that the Emperor of Daliang is in Weishan, he will not set off to return to Luan until the epidemic has completely subsided, and there are many masters around him, so there is no need to worry too much. And the heirs ...... As far as Puyang Ying's temperament is concerned, it is possible to sow discord between brothers, but Xiao Yuanjia and Xiao Yuanyou are too young, and the people around these two princes have to pay attention to it, and together with the mothers of the two princes, they also have to be beaten. The people around Xiao Yuanshi were even more investigated, and any ambiguities in their life history were cleaned up. In this regard, Xiao Jingning has never been a soft-hearted person, after all, Xiao Yuanshi's safety is the most important thing.
And on the side of Changlin Palace, Xiao Pingzhang is also thinking, there are only two brothers in their palace, Xiao Pingjing's intelligence is not inferior to Xiao Pingzhang, but he is used to it, he doesn't like the twists and turns of officialdom, and he doesn't like to be bound by those miscellaneous etiquette. This time, he was calculated and almost let things go according to Pu Yangying's calculations, and he was also scared.
Regarding what happened in the prison of the Criminal Department, Xiao Pingzhang did not hide it from Xiao Pingjing, from stepping into the prison to leaving, he told the situation in every detail. made Xiao Pingjing, who was a little stunned by the queen on weekdays, speechless.
"The queen is really scary!" Xiao Pingjing couldn't help but jump twice, "This Puyang Ying is terrifying enough, the queen mother is more terrifying than him!" ”
Xiao Pingzhang smiled and didn't speak, and after Xiao Pingjing sighed a few words, he also focused on the sentence "haven't lost yet". Xiao Pingjing thought for a while: "Big brother, what do you say this Puyang Ying left behind?" ”
Xiao Pingzhang shook his head: "No matter what backhand you keep, let's be more careful in the future." Especially you, you don't like the court to bend, you always like to jump up and down alone, which is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. ”
"Hey!" Xiao Pingjing leaned against the pillar, "These people are like flies, annoyed to death!" ”
I couldn't think of a reason, so I had to be careful.
When Jinling was closed for a month, with the prescription that Lin Xi tried, the epidemic stopped, and it was rare to see epidemic patients for two months, but in order to prevent the epidemic from rebounding, Jinling still did not immediately lift the ban and sealed it for more than a month.
Finally, the dark clouds hanging over Jinling dispersed, and the gate of Jinling Sifang, which had been sealed for March, was opened. The people in the city for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe rushed to tell each other and rejoice, and even many people took all kinds of things at home and sent them to various official offices and all the doctors' doors. And the soldiers like Changlin Jun, who were responsible for sealing the door, were also warmly grateful by everyone.
The healer is quite accustomed to it, because in the past, most patients who have been cured are grateful to the healer and will always want to do something. And whether it is these high-ranking officials on weekdays, or low-level errand runners, no one has experienced such sincere and straightforward gratitude from the people. Even Xun Baishui was stuffed with a bright red rooster in the arms of the enthusiastic people. Xun Baishui, who was very elegant, had never seen such a formation, and looked at the big rooster for a long time, and the people looked at each other for a long time, and laughed one after another.
After experiencing this catastrophe, the officials, who usually only knew how to fight, suddenly felt that their duties were truly meaningful in the face of such enthusiastic and grateful people. The righteous words they usually talk about defending the family and the country, hoeing rape and beheading, and asking for the people's lives or something, are more empty words, which are like this time, devoting themselves wholeheartedly, and then obviously just doing what they should do, but facing the sincerity of the people, it is impossible to say that they don't feel it in their hearts.
Listening to Su Ying's report, Xiao Jingning stroked the top of Xiao Yuanshi's hair: "Look, it's not all bad things for the capital to suffer this unwarranted disaster. After this difficulty, the government and the people are united, and there is a lot of cohesion in the court. ”
Xiao Yuanshi smiled and nodded, "Hmm! ”
The mother and son pulled the family routine, and Xiao Yuanshi was full of happiness written on his face: "Queen Mother, my father will come back in two days." ”
Xiao Jingning said with a smile: "I know that Yuan Shi misses his father." His Majesty has canceled the welcome of hundreds of officials this time, and without those cumbersome etiquette, I think it can be faster. ”
"Erchen is a little panick......ed," Xiao Yuanshi was a little apprehensive, "My father entrusted the capital to Erchen, but not long after he left, there was such a big thing in the capital. Then Erchen was the first to fall ill and couldn't do anything. ”
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are not up to anyone, and Yuan Shi does not have to blame himself." Xiao Jingning sighed softly, "If it weren't for the queen mother's credulity, how could such a disaster come about." Yuan Shi has grown up, and it is good to deal with it properly and know how to reflect. In the future, as long as it is right after careful consideration, it should be so decisive. ”
"Erchen understood."
Xiao Jingning said: "Not only that, but Yuan Shi should also drink medicine obediently and take care of his body as soon as possible, so that His Majesty and the Queen Mother will be happy." ”
As soon as he heard about drinking the medicine, Xiao Yuanshi's smiling face suddenly wrinkled, his ears were red, and he pulled Xiao Jingning's sleeve and shook it: "Queen Mother~~, Erchen will drink medicine well...... But really...... It's so bitter! ”
"Good medicine is good for disease." Xiao Jingning nodded the little nose, "If you know the hardship, get better quickly." ”
Xiao Yuanshi nodded heavily: "Hmm!" ”。
When the mother and son were filial and smiling, Xiao Jingning secretly wondered, should I ask the Imperial Medical Department if there are any health exercises that can strengthen the body? I remember that Hua Tuo seems to have five poultry plays handed down, but I don't know if there is one in the Imperial Medical Department. You have to send someone to find it, if you can, let Yuan Shi learn it, it is a medicine that is poisonous, and it can't be done just by taking medicine.
