127 excuses
It's getting late.
Fortunately, there is no wind and no snow, although the month is cold, tonight is not particularly cold.
And in the middle of winter, the grass and trees have been dilapidated and withered, Zhao Ping'an just carried a dead wind lamp, slowly walked into the deserted garden, and suddenly had a feeling of acting in a ghost movie.
Just walked through the wind and rain corridor, and saw Mu Yuan standing on the edge of the wall with his hands in his hands, lined by the tall courtyard wall, his posture was tall and heroic, as if he could stand up even if the sky fell.
She had an idea at that time: if she is a female ghost, a fox spirit and the like, and confuses any scholar, she must pounce on the general.
Looking at him like that, his yang energy is more vigorous than ordinary people.
"Mu Yuan." She called his name again, and it always felt like those two words made her feel very relieved.
Mu Yuan turned around and stared at Zhao Ping'an carefully, seeing that she was in good spirits. It's just that because of the cold weather, she is covered with a big wool coat, which makes her tall and tall extremely delicate and pitiful, and there is an indescribable tenderness in her heart.
"The whole city of Tokyo has been sealed." He took a deep breath and tried to get to the point.
Zhao Ping'an raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"You're moving so fast." She was very impressed by his ability, and complained that his father was stubbornly controlling his son and not letting go.
"Did you come to tell me this?" She asked again.
"I want to see you...... The eldest princess, are you okay? Mu Yuan shook his head slightly.
"Thank you, I'm fine, and the doctors that Imperial Doctor Tang and Commander Liu are looking for are already in place. Let me tell you, I found a strange book, well, it was also given by the immortal chief I met, which recorded the method of dealing with smallpox. Although I dare not say that there is a radical cure, the mortality rate of those who are newly infected will be greatly reduced. Even those who are not infected can be prevented in advance, and I think this will benefit Dae Jiangguo. "Even, the surrounding Daxia, Cochin, Goryeo......
Mu Yuan nodded quietly and didn't interject, he liked to see Zhao Ping'an talking like this.
She looked a little tired, and she looked much haggard after only one day, but her eyes were shining, firm and confident. So he believed that the situation might not be so bad.
It's like sailing a boat, as long as he holds the helm steadily, chops the waves, and lets her do her own thing in peace, the ship will be able to reach the shore smoothly, and the people on board will not die.
"You're amazing." His heartfelt praise.
Even if Zhao Ping'an is thick-skinned, he is a little embarrassed at the moment. After all, she is open, she has a golden finger, but it is Mu Yuan, everything is done in person.
"Healing, it's just a trail. But you, how did you seal the city? She asked.
The situation in Tokyo City is chaotic, and people's hearts are different, the Ye family will understand when they get the news of her closure that the matter of contracting a vicious disease to frame her is done, and they must be preparing to make trouble, how can they easily agree to the closure of the city?
"Minister, I did something that I can't do for the eldest princess." Mu Yuan said suddenly.
Zhao Ping'an was taken aback, and suddenly had a feeling that her husband was looking for a junior outside, and came back to confess his mistake to his wife.
She pursed her lips and didn't even dare to ask, but fortunately, Mu Yuan continued, "The minister has thought that the closure must be as soon as possible, so as not to spread too much." However, if all parties nod their heads and agree, it will be grinding, and it will be difficult to achieve it in days and months. Therefore, there must be a big thing that no one can ignore. So, without the permission of the eldest princess, the minister made an excuse with the edict. ”
Zhao Ping'an's eyes widened, he was stunned, and then his eyes lit up.
As long as there are ambitions in the government, even this person in the country will care about the paper edict, including the Ye family. She said that the princess's mansion lost something important and sealed the mansion, so Mu Yuan went one step further and said that thing was an edict.
That's the lifeblood of the river, and whoever dares to stop the lockdown will be suspected of having something to do with the thieves. Whether the edict can be obtained or not, whether you want it or not, or it doesn't matter, but the important thing is the posture, and the important thing is not to be implicated with it.
Otherwise, it will automatically become the target of public criticism.
"It's a great idea, I didn't even think of it." Zhao Ping'an instantly understood and smiled, "I don't blame you, don't worry." If it were me, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to think of this solution in a hurry. ”
Mu Yuan's lips moved, but he didn't speak.
He was originally apologizing, but he didn't expect peace to be so open-minded. He was calm on the surface, but his heart was agitated, so the ghost sent a god to ask, "Is there really that edict?" ”
However, as soon as he said it, he regretted it, after all, his father was hostile to Ping'an. 、
And Ping An is now like standing alone on the edge of a cliff, someone must be behind her to protect her, and it is time to save others. So when he asked, it was a bit of a threat, although he didn't.
was about to say something to remedy it, but Zhao Ping'an shook his head, "I don't know if there is, if there is, I haven't found it yet." But if it's good for me, let it be assumed. She said so frankly, honestly, and with a look of complete trust and unquestioning, "Besides, I know my royal brother's wishes and ambitions. If I didn't have that paper, it would be in my heart. ”
Mu Yuan was moved, "The minister heard what the eldest princess said, and he just heard it." That means it will never be told to the second person.
At this time, in the face of life and death, the life of the family has been handed over to others, and how stupid it is to hide it.
Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, don't even kill decisively, give in to the evil forces as soon as possible.
Moreover, the edict was originally for her self-preservation, or fishing, even if it was exposed, she would have a way to turn around. What's more, she knows that Mu Yuan is heavy and ruthless on the outside, but in fact he is a true gentleman.
"The Ye family didn't make a fuss?" She quickly shifted the focus to the issue.
Hearing this, Mu Yuan's lips curved slightly.
The Ye family was naturally not so easy to get along with, but they couldn't imagine that he would dare to directly lead troops to besiege the mansion. After all, he is a civil servant, and the court is overturned, and if he really encounters an unreasonable person, he can only hold his breath first.
He even forced directly into the palace and made it clear to Ye Guifei and the Ye family that he knew that Ye Guifei had found a smallpox patient and brought it into the capital without permission to frame the eldest princess. If this matter is publicized, the Ye family, Ye Guifei, and even Xiao Tianzi will be overwhelmed by public resentment.
After all, such a fierce epidemic is like a demon in hell, and when it is released, it is not a matter of one person, a hundred, or a thousand people who will be injured, but it may be an entire city and the entire Great River Country!
No one can afford this pot, and no one's head can afford it.
Naturally, he had no evidence, but with the clues provided by Ping'an, he said that he had a nose and an eye, as if the facts were all there. The Ye family is a thief, especially when Ye Liangchen's old man saw his son's dodgy expression, although he said a few hard words at the moment, his attitude softened and coaxed.
