Shen Ninghua was dressed in a splendid satin shirt, with large red rhododendrons embroidered on her skirt and sleeves, and bright red petals and light-colored stamens competing with each other, setting off her bright and noble and unparalleled in the world.

Zhao looked up at Shen Ninghua who came against the light, and seemed to be crazy for a while: "Sister......"

Shen Ninghua's pupils shrank suddenly, and it must be her mother Xia Jingyan who could make Zhao Yunxiang open her mouth to call her sister, and her eyes moved and she immediately asked, "Why are you sitting on the ground?" ”

Zhao Shi trembled, and his expression was still a little unclear: "I...... I...... Sister, why are you back? Didn't you go with peace of mind? Do you blame me for not doing what I promised you, then don't blame me, don't blame me......"

Wen Qiu shook Zhao's arm vigorously: "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao suddenly came back to his senses, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, his face suddenly turned pale: "Shen Ninghua!" ”

Shen Ninghua glanced at Wen Qiu, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down: "I've seen my mother, you still have a little brother in your belly, but you must be careful, Wen Qiu, go out and bring some bird's nest to suppress your mother's shock." It seems that the Zhao family must know the cause of her biological mother's death, since this is the case, then she is not in a hurry, she has many ways to dig out the truth from the Zhao family's mouth.

"You don't need to serve any bird's nest, I can't eat it even if I have dragon liver and phoenix marrow now, Shen Ninghua, are you happy now?" Zhao looked at her hatefully, eager to poke a hole in her with his eyes.

Shen Ninghua walked to the chair next to her and sat down, Qingque and Bizhu stood on both sides behind her: "What is my mother talking about, why don't I understand?" When I heard that my father and Xuanye's younger brother were called into the palace, I was also worried in my heart, so don't misunderstand me. ”

"Am I mistaking you?" Zhao stared at her deadly, "Shen Ninghua, you designed all this, you just want to kill us, don't you?" ”

Shen Ninghua glanced at her coldly, got up and tidied up her dress: "Mother, since you don't have anything important, I will enter the palace, and the emperor will summon me." ”

"You are presumptuous!" Zhao Shi was full of anger and picked up a porcelain bottle on the table and smashed it towards Shen Ninghua's back. Qingque turned around and kicked the porcelain bottle in front of Zhao and smashed it hard at her feet.

Zhao inhaled sharply, gritted his teeth and roared: "Shen Ninghua, you wild seed, I should have let the master strangle you in the first place!" ”

Shen Ninghua stopped and turned back, his voice was cold without the slightest emotion: "It's a pity that I didn't die at the beginning, so it's you who are dying now." ”

"You...... You slut! ”

Shen Ninghua sneered: "Mother, take good care of your body and think about how to protect the Shen family." ”

Zhao sat on the ground paralyzed, looking at the back of Shen Ninghua leaving, there was no trace of blood on his face. Shen Linghan ran into the door, and when he saw Zhao's appearance, he panicked: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Did Shen Ninghua do something to you? This slut, I'll go to her to settle accounts! ”

"Stop!"

"Mother?"

"You stay at home honestly, I'll go to Zhao's house, if your father and brother come back, you can let someone tell me." Zhao stood up and walked towards the door with a pale face.

Shen Linghan stepped forward to support her: "Mother, I will go with you to ask my grandmother, she will definitely help us." ”

Zhao looked at her, and for the first time felt that he had raised her too ignorant of the world: "Grandmother? Linghan, I'm just a concubine in the Zhao family. "Once it comes to the crisis, they are the first to be abandoned, do you really think that the Zhao family cares about their mother and daughter? If he really cared, the Zhang family would not be so blatant to provoke!

Shen Linghan was stunned in place, she couldn't react stupidly, in her heart, she has always been a proud daughter of the sky, and even she has always regarded Queen Zhao Huiying as a role model to learn, thinking that she was the first person under Queen Zhao, and never thought that one day she would have nothing.

"Mother, go and ask His Royal Highness the Prince, he will help us."

Zhao stopped suddenly: "You said the prince?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Linghan gritted his teeth, "That time in the palace, the jade pendant was given to me by the prince himself, he said that he could marry me as a side concubine, with the prince and the queen's mother, we will definitely be able to survive this crisis." ”

Zhao pondered for a long time, turned around and walked out.

Outside the south gate of Kyoto, the neighing of horses sounded:

The 800-mile fast horse galloped all the way into Kyoto, and some vendors on the street who couldn't dodge were knocked down, and they didn't even dare to cry out in pain, so they quickly climbed to the side and hid.

At the gate of the palace, the guards stood solemnly, and the spears of the forest were shining with cold light. From a distance, he saw a horse galloping over, and hurriedly clenched his weapon to stop the man.

"Eight hundred miles urgently, open the palace gate!"

The cavalry on the horses held gold medals and rushed towards them without slowing down.

The guards saw the gold medal clearly and hurriedly gave way, and the heavy palace door slowly opened. The cavalry quickly whipped their horses and galloped in, rushing in the direction of the Chengqian Palace.

A moment later, a heavy drum sounded: "Boom! Boom! Boom! "One is heavier than the other, and one is faster than the other. The whole of Kyoto is silent, and only the sound of heavy drums can be heard throughout Kyoto.

Officials of all sizes rushed out one after another, and even Prince Gong and Prince Zhi, who had long since ceased to go to court, put on court clothes and rushed to the palace regardless of their old bodies.

All officials above the fifth rank who can enter the palace enter the palace to wait in the Chengqian Palace, and all those who are not qualified to enter the palace kneel at the noon gate of the palace and wait. The people knelt behind the officials one after another, and surrounded the palace in a dense circle of three layers inside and three layers outside.

Tongtian drum will be beaten when encountering major things related to the safety of the country, as long as the drum sounds, as long as the big and small officials still have a breath to enter the palace to face the saint, who dares to hesitate to kill, this drum only sounded once when the war with the Great Yue State, the war lasted for two years, killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the Great An Country recuperated for ten years before recovering eight points of vitality. And this time, it was the second time that the drum was sounded.

When the drum sounded, Shen Ninghua was in Princess Anning's palace. Hearing the sound of drums, Princess An Ning got up abruptly and knelt down in the direction of the Chengqian Palace. After kowtowing, he immediately changed into a full set of princess clothes, and walked out with Shen Ninghua: "Ninghua, the drum is sounding, if it is not solved well, the world will really be chaotic." ”

Shen Ninghua looked at the direction of the Chengqian Palace, and her expression was faint and she couldn't see any emotion: "Don't worry, princess, there are emperors here, there are several princes here, and there is no chaos in this world." ”

Princess An Ning nodded, and reluctantly pulled out a smile: "I hope." ”

In the Chengqian Palace, the emperor Baili Qingcang sat on the golden throne, and his aura around him was cold and faintly tyrannical. The Chinese martial arts officials of the main hall knelt on both sides, and Shen Dong, Zhao Kun, and Shen Xuanye knelt in the center of the main hall.

Baili Qingcang's sight is like a mountain, dead on everyone's heads, making people even take extra care of breathing:

"The plague in the south of the Yangtze River, hundreds of thousands of people are in danger, I have raised you for many years, and now is the time to use you, who can tell me, what should I do?"

There was silence in the hall, and the officials were silent.

"Why, don't you speak? Usually you are not clever and eloquent, but now what's wrong, people are poisonous? ”

"Weichen deserves death."

Baili Qingcang smiled coldly: "Since you say that you deserve death for your sins, then I will let people drag you out and behead you, and save a group of wine bags and rice bags!" ”

Hundreds of civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted: "The emperor is angry, and the emperor spares his life!" ”

"Since you don't know how to solve it, then think, think well, when to figure it out and when to get up." Baili Qingcang's brows furrowed deeply, and he ordered in a cold voice.

The crown prince Baili Jinyi stood up: "Father, the son has something to say." ”

"Speak!"

"Back to my father, the Shen family and the Zhao family jointly researched a prescription for the treatment of the plague, and the prescription was also effective in the early stage, but it was only after two days that uncomfortable symptoms began to appear, resulting in serious consequences, so at least it shows that the prescription is still slightly effective, so why not let the two families take out the research manuscript and let the Tai Hospital study it as a whole, maybe they can find an improvement method, so as to save the people from fire and water."

Officials agreed:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right."

"yes, the best thing to do now is to find an antidote."

"Yes, that's exactly what happened."

Baili Qingcang frowned slightly, and the officials below instantly quieted down.

"The prince's suggestion is good, Shen Dong and Zhao Kun, you should agree with the prince's statement, right?"

Shen Dong knelt on the ground, cold sweat broke out, his intestines were repentant, if he hadn't been greedy to study those prescriptions, there would not have been today's incident, but now he has been forced to the cliff, and taking a step back is an abyss, so he had to grit his teeth: "Back to the emperor, the research manuscripts of the prescriptions are all in Weichen's mansion." ”

"Well, since that's the case......" Baili Qingcang didn't finish his sentence, and the sound of the waiter came from the door.

"Report! Jingwei Mansion Yin asked to see. ”

Baili Qingcang frowned: "Xuan." ”

Jingwei Mansion Yin ran in quickly, "Back to the emperor, the servants passed by Prime Minister Shen's mansion on the way to the palace, and heard that the study in the prime minister's mansion was on fire, and all the manuscripts for studying prescriptions were burned. ”

Shen Dong was originally kneeling on the ground, but when he heard this, he almost fell to the ground with weak hands: The manuscript was destroyed, how could it be so coincidental?

Baili Qingcang's forehead was full of blue tendons, and he was full of anger: "Okay, it's really good!" ”

"Your Majesty, the prescription is that the dog Shen Xuanye is smoking and drinking, he can repeat the research process, Xuanye, isn't it?"

Being looked at by Shen Dong's earnest gaze, Shen Xuanye hurriedly nodded: "Back to the emperor, the slave can indeed repeat it." ”

Chen Yun shook his head: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the prescription for treating the plague is the first time I have studied it, so it can be said that I have no clue at all. Whether Shen Xuanye's idea was right or wrong, the ministers had no way of knowing. ”

Shen Xuanye's eyes moved, and he suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, Shen Ninghua, the sister of the slave at the beginning, provided the medicine for the treatment of the plague, and the slave analyzed it to get the ingredients of the prescription, maybe there is still medicine in the sister's house!" ”

The eyes of the second prince Baili Jinchuan narrowed suddenly, and the cold killing intent flashed in his heart, this Shen Xuanye wanted to drag Ning Hua into the water, he really deserved to die!

Baili Qingcang frowned, thinking of the child he saw last time, a trace of unknown emotion flashed in his eyes: "Xuan Shen Ninghua." ”

A loud announcement resounded throughout the court: "Xuan Shen Ninghua!" ”

Shen Ninghua got up from next to Princess An Ning, looked up at the direction of Chengqian Palace, and his eyes flashed with smoke and clouds: Shen family, let's break it today......
