The situation in the capital was very important, Qiao An did not dare to delay, and went to the study to discuss matters with her shoes on.

When she came back, Joan was a little stunned, and her face was really not good-looking.

"What's wrong?" After Joan left, the star fruit couldn't sleep, so she simply sat at the table and waited for him to come back. Seeing that his face was not good, he hurriedly poured him a cup of tea: "Don't be in a hurry about anything, there is always a way to solve it." ”

"The emperor died, and the crown prince ascended the throne ten days ago. The Three Princes are defeated! Jo Ann muttered, her heart like ashes.

As soon as the hand of the star fruit holding the tea cup shook, the water spilled out and fell on Qiao An's body. She hurriedly pulled the handkerchief to help him wipe it, but Qiao An had already grabbed her hand tightly, and said with a worried face: "When the first emperor enters the imperial tomb, the new emperor should start to clean us up." Carambola, will you succeed in following Yang Pan home? ”

"Where is my home?" Carambola held Qiao An's hand back, looked into his eyes and said, "You just divorced me, can you let me go?" Don't forget, I caused Prince Dun's Rejuvenation Hall to close the door, forced his chief butler to death, and ruined the reputation of Prince Dun's mansion. Aside from these, the grievances between us and the An family have not been completely settled. ”

Carambola sighed, pressed Qiao An to sit on the chair, looked at his eyes seriously and said: "We are husband and wife, blessings are naturally shared, and difficulties must be shared together." In today's situation, it is not safe anywhere. Why are you pushing me? ”

"But ......"

Joan tried to persuade him, but opened his mouth wide, but he didn't know what to say. Tracing back to the origin, Liang Zi of the prince's line was formed as early as when he had no fame, and now it is too late to hide.

"People live in the world, and in the end, they can't escape a dead word. What matters is what you did when you were alive and how you lived, do you say that's the case? Carambola held Qiao An's hand tightly and said with a smile: "We are not very good people, but we have never done evil in our lives." Even in hell, good days await us. ”

"Without Xihuo, there is always a glimmer of life. We have a family property, and you may be able to save your life after you have scattered all your wealth. ”

"What's the point of being alive?" Carambola poured a new glass of water and handed it to Qiao An, and she also drank it to moisten her throat, and then said: "If I really leave you, if something really happens to you." Will I be able to sleep soundly for the rest of my life? I don't even want conscience and virtue, and I still deserve to live in this world? ”

Qiao An drank tea, turned her head to look at the eyes of star fruit, and smiled with satisfaction: "I, Qiao An, really didn't marry the wrong daughter-in-law." ”

Star fruit also smiled, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked. She pulled Qiao An to the bed and said thoughtfully: "Let's rest first, and only after you have your spirit can you have the strength to deal with the problems in the future." ”

"Good!" Joan took the star fruit in her arms, tried to get rid of her upset, and slept peacefully.

For a long time after that, Joan was very busy. Although they live in the same county office, it is very difficult for star fruit to see Qiao An.

Knowing that something big had happened, star fruit didn't dare to pester her. She took her mother-in-law to the county seat, villages and other places by herself. She wanted to find a way to make the people rich.

No matter who becomes the emperor, no matter whether he and Qiao An can escape this catastrophe or not, the people of Xihuo must always live in peace. She and Qiao An should try their best to let the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and let the land of Xihuo prosper.

This trip has gained a lot.

A lot of medicinal herbs were found in the village, and the precious codonopsis was found in the mountains. Carambola was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Langzhong, wanting Uncle Zhou to come over to help and see if he could grow medicinal herbs in Xihuo.

When I waited for the reply to the letter, I had nothing to do, and I couldn't interfere in political affairs. She set up a free clinic stall in the county seat. Although it is not possible to release medicine for free, it can also help people save a sum of money for diagnosis and treatment.

In the long run, the pharmacy is naturally a little resentful. But the people applauded.

In connection with Qiao An's style of acting in Xihuo, everyone has renewed confidence in the imperial court. Because of this, there are far fewer thugs even making trouble on the streets.

Xihuo's side is living in an orderly manner, and both the order and the economy are slowly recovering. But news spread: "The coffin of the former emperor has just entered the imperial mausoleum, and the first emperor ordered the king of Jin to return to the fiefdom." ”

When Qiao An and star fruit talked, star fruit was also greatly relieved: "It's better to escape from the capital yourself, it's better to live in your own fiefdom than to be under the nose of others." ”

"That being said, how can Your Majesty allow the King of Jin to return to the fiefdom and claim the throne? When the emperor was alive, he had increased the number of soldiers of the prince to 20,000, and Jinju was located in a fortress and had a prosperous economy. ”

"That's a question that the prince should consider, and now that the king of Jin is allowed to return to the fiefdom, then we just have to go back. For now, that's a good thing. ”

"On the surface, it seems to be a good thing, you can get from the capital to Jinju, but the road is far away, who knows what will happen on the way."

"No matter how bad it is, there are still 20,000 government soldiers, so don't worry too much."

Qiao An also knew that it was useless to worry, so she also changed the topic and said, "You have been walking in the city for the past few days, have you gained anything?" ”

"Yes!" Speaking of this, the star fruit's face was full of excitement, and his eyes lit up: "You look at this place and are close to the side, and the loess and yellow sand feel barren." But if you look closely, there are really a lot of kinds of medicinal materials here, and I just wrote to Master a few days ago, asking Uncle Zhou to come over and help grow medicine. ”

"I know this, do you find anything else?"

"Something else?" Star fruit looked at Qiao An suspiciously for a long time, shook his head and said: "The pickles eaten here are different from those in Shuzhou, I let them taste the pickles brought from home, they are too spicy to eat." I don't know anything other than herbs and pickles. ”

Qiao An doted on her head, and said with a mysterious smile: "Yang Pan and Chunxiao have discovered iron ore!" ”

"What?" Carambola looked surprised, but Qiao An had a smile between her eyebrows: "With this vein, Your Majesty should treat Xihuo differently." Nowadays, most of the city defense of Xihuo is responsible for the mountain bandits who have been recruited, and if the prince wants to move, we must also consider one or two. ”

Star fruit doesn't understand the importance of iron ore, but since Qiao An is happy, it must be a happy thing.

The report of the discovery of the iron ore has not yet been sent, but new news came from the King of Jin: "The King of Jin encountered mountain bandits on the road, and more than half of the 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded. ”

"Where has the prince gone?"

"After the attack on Xiaowutai, the prince was scattered, and now no one knows where he has gone." Guarding Zhang's eyebrows were full of worry, and he frowned and asked Qiao An: "Now, what should we do?" ”

The arrangement behind is not good, and said in front of the star fruit, Qiao An took Zhang Guard to the study to discuss.

Since then, the atmosphere of Xihuo has been a little tense, and the entry and exit gates have been more strictly checked, and Qiao An has not allowed star fruit to go out of the city again, even if he is in the city for medical treatment, he is also ordered to bring guards.

Knowing that Joan was kind, Carambola did not resist. But the common people began to get nervous, and there were even rumors on the street that the imperial court was dissatisfied with Xihuo and wanted to send troops to arrest Qiao An for questioning.

Time passed day by day, and the holy decree of asking for sins did not wait, but waited for the news that the king of Jin was seriously injured and poisoned, and he was unconscious.

"I've been in a coma for five days, and the doctor who accompanied me was helpless, saying that he wouldn't wake up for another three days, but he was afraid that he wouldn't do it."

Qiao An waved his hand to let Zhang Guard go down, and after considering the pros and cons, he came over to discuss with Carambola: "King Jin is poisoned, it stands to reason that you should be allowed to go over and take a look." But the current situation is not good for us, and if the King of Jin is cured, the emperor will hate us even more. But if it was not cured and there was an accident, then the butcher knife was directly handed to the emperor. ”

As a doctor, star fruit of course advocates healing, even if it can't be cured in the end, at least with a clear conscience. But the star fruit in the court didn't understand, so she said: "It's good for you to decide, no matter what, we have to be worthy of our conscience." ”

"If something happens, you really have no way out." Qiao An looked at the eyes of the star fruit seriously, and plucked up a lot of courage and said: "This time you are standing in front, if something really happens, the new emperor will be the first to attack you, the only thing I can do is to die with you." ”

"That's enough!" Carambola smiled at Qiao Anran, and hurriedly went back to pack up her things: "I'll pack up my things and go over, don't worry, I will pay attention to my own safety and do my best to save King Jin." ”

"I'll let Yang Pan follow you."

"Good!" Speaking of Yang Pan, it is inevitable that I don't think of Luo Niang: "Luo Niang is a person with great ability, I'll ask her if she is willing to follow." ”

"She doesn't want to!" Qiao An sighed, full of helplessness: "She is willing to help Yang Pan calculate the big boss, that's because she wants to find a serious way out for the brothers in the cottage." Now that most of the brothers in the cottage have taken refuge in the co-optation, she is naturally reluctant to wade into troubled waters again. ”

"It's this truth, it's easy to live a peaceful life with the court, why should she toss again. The King of Jin almost lost his life with 20,000 soldiers, and the reason for this can be understood if you think about it a little. Carambola sighed, shook her head and said, "He is the emperor now, who wants to offend him easily?" It's me who thinks things too simply. ”

"It's not that you see things simply, it's that they haven't wanted to follow my Joan's heart yet."

"The big boss still refuses to surrender?"

"He competed with me, and if he lost to me, he surrendered to me, but unfortunately I lost!" Qiao An's face was frustrated, but her dark eyes were full of appreciation for the big boss: "If it wasn't for Yang Pan and Luo Niang who used poison on them, it would still be a vicious battle." If it weren't for the maintenance of you by the soldiers of the back mountain, even if you won, that battle would have been a miserable victory. From this point of view, he is really a great talent in leading troops to fight. ”

It can be seen that Joan admires the big boss very much. But if the great talents who can't be used for themselves become enemies, it will be a disaster.

Qiao An originally promised Yang Pan to keep the life of the big boss, but if the big boss has been stubborn, I am afraid that this life will not be kept.

Star fruit is guessing the final outcome of the big boss, and the holy decree has arrived. Wen Xuanxuan's words are large, but when translated into the vernacular, it is: The king of Jin with an army of 20,000 almost injured his life, and those mountain bandits are really rampant. In order to deter the world and make an example of the monkeys, Xihuo County was specially ordered to kill all the mountain bandits captured some time ago on the spot. No matter whether they return or surrender, they will not be forgiven. ”

After the decree was read, the supervisor stood up: "Lord Qiao chooses a date?" ”
