Chapter 8 (2nd Update)
Hua Yan's letter was very short, so short that Yun Chi could see it at a glance, after he read the letter, his face immediately changed, and the complexion that had not changed in front of Taishan suddenly turned white, and the hand holding the letterhead even trembled slightly.
Yun Ying will wait for Yun Chi to reply every time, unless His Royal Highness says that he is not in a hurry to reply, he will retreat, for such a long time, there are only two times, one is that the letter between the crown princess and His Royal Highness about the north land mentions the name of many second sons, and the first is that the crown princess mentioned the plum blossom seal of Houliang in the letter.
The first time, His Royal Highness thought about the crown princess, thinking distressed, he didn't understand, he didn't understand why His Royal Highness was in a hurry to reply to the crown princess every time, but suddenly didn't reply, pressed the letter, until Xiao Zhongzi told him the reason in private, he understood, His Royal Highness was vinegar, in a bad mood, afraid that the princess was smart and could see from the letter, so he replied to the letter when he calmed down the next day.
The second time, the princess said in the letter that the plum blossom seal was in the world, she first let Hua Zhuo check for two months, but there is no news so far, she feels that she must tell him, even the Hua family can't find out the news, it's not a trivial matter, it can be seen that the plum blossom seal is hidden. His Royal Highness pressed the letter and thought for a long time before replying and knowing.
Now, Yun Ying didn't understand what had happened to make His Highness lose his temper like this.
He shouted tentatively, "Your Highness? ”
Yun Chi tightened his palm, the letterhead in his hand was rubbed together by him, and it became a ball, his face was pale, his lips were slightly white, and his voice was a suppressed reluctance to calm down, "There is a plague in Bei'an City, it is a white blister, and there are endless prescriptions in the sky, but in the early years, he leaked the prescriptions, and now there is less Panlong ginseng to cure the plague." ”
When Yun Ying heard this, his face suddenly turned white, the plague was not a trivial matter in ancient times, especially the severe white blister plague recorded in ancient books. He shook the corners of his mouth and said urgently, "Your Highness, immediately mobilize everyone in the East Palace to search for Panlong Ginseng and transport it to the Northland." ”
Yun Chi clenched his hands, "The major pharmacies in Beijing are afraid that there is no Panlong ginseng." When the words fell, he immediately ordered, "You first take my edict to the imperial pharmacy to see if there is any dragon ginseng in the imperial pharmacy, and you must not alarm anyone." ”
"Yes." Yun Ying knows that the matter is serious and imminent, the crown princess is the lifeblood of His Royal Highness, and now there is a plague in Bei'an City, and the crown princess is in the north, so dangerous, it must be fast. He thought about it, and in the blink of an eye, he left the East Palace.
Yun Chi shouted in a deep voice, "Yun Yi." ”
"Your Highness." Yunyi appeared.
Yun Chi took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Yi, "You go to Chunhongqi for a trip, find Feng Niang, and ask her to immediately send someone to check if there is Panlong ginseng under all the industries of Su Zi?" ”
"Yes." His Royal Highness Yun Zhi's expression was pale, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately responded and took the token.
Yun Chi called another person and ordered, "Invite all the staff and guest secretaries, and say that the palace is looking for them to discuss the appointment and dismissal of the examinees who have passed the palace examination." ”
Someone should have been, and immediately went.
Yun Chi gave three orders in a row, sat on the chair, and slowly closed his eyes.
It was winter, and the earth dragon in the study was burning warm, but it couldn't warm Yun Chi, and he felt very cold all around. Under the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu, what kind of people are so punishable, they do not hesitate to destroy the northern land, take the lives of the people, and drag down the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu, as Hua Yan said in the letter, pigs and dogs are not as good.
He tried his best to calm himself down, but he couldn't calm down anyway, and after a few moments, he shouted, "Little Tadashi." ”
"Your Highness!" Xiao Zhongzi knew that something was wrong, and appeared in front of Yun Chi with a white face.
Yun Chi instructed him, "Prepare the horse!" ”
Xiao Zhongzi glanced out at the sky and immediately asked, "Your Highness, it's late this night, where are you going?" ”
Yun Chi pursed his lips and said, "Northland." ”
Xiao Zhongzi shook his body in fright and shook his head, "Your Highness, you can't go to the Northland at this time." But not to mention that the Northland is now in the midst of a plague, what will happen to the capital after you leave? ”
Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "You only have to prepare the horse, this palace will naturally arrange it before leaving, what nonsense!" ”
Xiao Zhongzi was about to cry, "Your Highness, you really can't go to the Northland, you ......"
Yun Chi stared at Xiao Zhongzi coldly and stopped talking.
Xiao Zhongzi couldn't say anything in the face of Yun Chi's eyes, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "This palace used to indulge you too much, and now whatever this palace says, you have to stop it, where did you get the guts?" ”
Xiao Zhongzi's face turned pale, and he trembled and said, "Your Highness forgives your sins, slave here...... Let's go and prepare the horses. After speaking, he trembled and got up, not daring to look at Yun Chi, and slipped away, for fear that if he was one step too late, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would eat him alive.
Outside, the night was dark, the cold wind was howling, and the wind was beating on the window lattice, making the sound of bells.
Yun Chi repeatedly told himself to be calm, calmly analyzed the current situation between the DPRK and China, calmly thought about the events that had happened this year, and calmly planned what he should arrange before leaving Beijing.
At such a time, he was calm and terrifying, and he could even think that the people behind him might be buried in the capital, the flood in the river valley five years ago, the chaos in the southwest half a year ago, the embankment burst of the Heilong River two months ago, and the white blister plague now, these major events are probably inseparable from the people behind them.
Five years ago, he took the people of the East Palace to the River Valley, and experienced two large number of assassinations, each time it was nine deaths, and the person who assassinated him died, and he has not found out the results so far, but later, the assassination has not moved.
This year, he can think of the reason for the big event, because he is about to get married, after the wedding, his father will pass on the throne to him, he is no longer in charge of the country and politics, but really pro-government, his pro-government is naturally different from being a prince.
He could think of the purpose of the person behind him, which was to make Nan Chu chaotic before his big wedding and take the opportunity to kill him.
Now in the Northland, Su Ziqi and Hua Yan have stabbed the black net that covers them, and the people behind them must hate them to death, and want them to die in the Northland and never come back. At the same time, if you can lure him to the Northlands, it is best to kill him as well.
However, despite knowing this conspiracy, he still wants to go to the Northland, he can't let his crown princess fight against the plague and death in the Northland for his country, at least, even if he fights, even if he saves the people, he should be with him.
Life and death together, life and death together.
Half an hour later, Yun Ying came back from the Imperial Pharmacy, returned empty-handed, and said to Yun Chi with a white face, "Your Highness, there is no Panlong ginseng in the Imperial Pharmacy. ”
Yun Chi's face was pale and cold, as if unexpectedly, he stood up, stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, and his voice was a little cooler than the cold wind outside the window, "I knew that there would be no Panlong ginseng in the imperial pharmacy." ”
Yun Ying immediately said, "Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to check the whereabouts of the coiled dragon ginseng in the imperial pharmacy?" The medicinal herbs that can move the imperial pharmacy of the palace must have an extraordinary identity. ”
Yun Chi shook his head, "You don't have to check it for the time being, even if you check it, you won't be able to find it for a while." After the words fell, he ordered, "You take all the secret guards of the East Palace to check the major pharmacies in Beijing, and the palace will give you an hour." ”
The cloud shadow should be, without a moment's delay, and retreated like the wind.
At this time, Xiao Zhongzi came in and said, "Your Highness, the staff and guests are here, and they are all waiting in the outer corridor, do you want to see them now?" ”
Yun Chi bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "Let them all come in." ”
Xiao Zhongzi should have invited people from outside into the study, and more than 20 people crowded Yun Chi's study at once, and they all gave Yun Chi a salute.
Yun Chi turned around and looked at these people, his eyes swept over each of them, and he didn't speak for a while.
Everyone was beating drums in their hearts, feeling that something was wrong, and His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes today were very threatening, making them feel that they had come all the way to drink the cold wind, and they didn't seem to feel warm when they entered the imperial study with the earth dragon. I can't help but secretly guess, could it be that something big happened to any of the examinees selected by His Royal Highness?
It's been an eventful year.
Yun Chi's eyes swept around, these are the people of the East Palace that he began to cultivate when he was young, everyone, he chose everything, if someone betrayed him, he shouldn't be able to wait now, he betrayed five years ago.
So, he took a coercive look and handed over the crumpled letterhead in his hand, "I called you here today, not for the palace test, but for a big event, you can take a look." ”
The first person hurriedly took the group of letterheads, and it took a long time to open it, and when he saw it, he was shocked, and the people next to him immediately surrounded him, and after seeing the contents of the letterhead, they all changed their faces.
Since ancient times, plagues have been like the natural enemies of human beings, and people are powerless in the face of plagues most of the time.
A hundred years ago, nearly 100,000 people in two cities were destroyed by the plague.
Now, it is gratifying that the white blister plague has been continuously researched and remedied, but at the same time, with despair, this prescription has long been leaked, and one of the medicines has begun to be secretly purchased two months ago.
One person shook his hand and said, "Your Highness, the Panlong ginseng in the north has been purchased, but what about the major pharmacies in the capital?" Maybe ......"
Yun Chi said in a cold voice, "This palace has asked people to check, but there is a chance that there will be no Panlong ginseng." Although the capital is far away from Beidi, the people behind it want to destroy Bei'an City, and two months is enough to buy all the Panlong ginseng from the four places of Southern Chu. ”
