Su Shi knew that she was in a hurry and had no choice, so she finally chose to follow Shen Ninghua's advice, restrain the subordinates of the Manchu Mansion, close the door of the mansion and wait quietly for the storm to come.

There are many merchants in Jiangnan, and there are especially many merchants from Jiangnan in Kyoto. They knew that the Zhao family and the Shen family had jointly found a cure for the plague, and everyone was grateful. Every day, they gather at the gate of the two houses, some kneel and kowtow to thanks, and some offer their possessions, eager to worship the two families as if they were their parents.

Many people were affected by them and came to thank them, the Shen family and the Zhao family closed their doors to thank the guests, and they also sent people to explain at the door and let the people leave, but the people not only did not leave, but gathered more and more.

In Yingyue's house, the injuries of the four maids have improved a lot, especially Qingque and Hongling, the two of them were already in good health, plus Shen Ninghua gave them the best medicine, and now they are back to normal.

Hongling Tan heard the scene at the door and hurriedly ran to Shen Ninghua to report: "Miss, you don't know, the door is full of people, almost the entire front door is blocked, and now there are people gathered even in the back." The old man was escorted out by the guards. It's crazy. ”

Shen Ninghua smiled: "What's so surprising about this, my father offered a prescription to treat the plague, and if such a great merit is placed outside, it will be enshrined by the immortal archway for generations." ”

Hongling turned her head: "But how do I feel that these people are not simply here to thank the master?" ”

The smile in Shen Ninghua's eyes deepened: "You are not stupid today, you can actually guess it." ”

"Miss, did you really let the slave and maid talk?"

"I've asked you to report the situation outside carefully these days, and you can't tell why? Bai Wei is all obedient to orders, right? ”

Bai Wei, who was named by name, stood up and gently helped Shen Ninghua pinch his shoulder: "Slave and maid, if it is not right, please give the young lady advice." In the past two days, listening to Hongling's report, the slave maid found that every time the crowd at the door showed signs of dispersing, some people would jump out to publicize the tragic situation in Jiangnan, or come to cry about the destruction and displacement of their hometown, and after everyone stayed, some people would keep saying how great the credit of the Shen family and the Zhao family was, how it should be, how and so on, so that the people not only did not leave, but gathered more and more. ”

Shen Ninghua nodded: "What Bai Wei said is right, then can you guess who is manipulating the people behind the scenes?" ”

Bai Wei thought for a while and said, "If there is no accident, there should be people from the second prince and the third prince." The Zhao family and the Shen family can now be said to be the supporters of the queen and the crown prince, and they pose the greatest threat to the two princes. Miss, is what the slave said right? ”

"You're right, but why didn't you guess the Five Princes?" Shen Ninghua looked at her.

Bai Wei paused: "The fifth prince? The five princes have always been obsessed with poetry and books, and they are gentle to others, and his mother died early, and her status is too low, she was raised by Concubine Duan's mother, Concubine Duan is the queen's lineage, the five princes and the prince have long been tied together, miss, do you think there is a role of the five princes behind this matter? ”

Shen Ninghua shook her head amusedly, but didn't explain anything: "You just look at it." Baili Jinze has been weakening his sense of existence, and he has indeed done it, thinking that in this way he can be the yellow finch behind him? Hmph, if you want to make a yellow finch behind your back, you have to see if the bow and arrow in the hunter's hand agrees.

Hongling's curiosity was hoisted high, but no matter how she asked, Shen Ninghua didn't speak, and could only try her best to pay close attention to all kinds of news every day, for fear of missing any troubles.

In the evening, a blue-feathered bird quietly landed in Shen Ninghua's yard. The blue finch whistled softly, and the light feather finch landed on her hand. Qingque took out a small note from its feet and hurriedly sent it to Shen Ninghua.

After Shen Ninghua finished reading the content on the note, it took a while for a while to have a smile on his face: "Qingque, bring the things I prepared, and let's go into the palace to visit Princess Anning." ”

"Yes, miss."

The last time she came out of the palace, Princess An Ning gave her a token in order to facilitate Shen Ninghua to enter the palace to treat her. Therefore, this time the entry into the palace went extremely smoothly.

Hearing that Shen Ninghua entered the palace, Princess An Ning packed up and waited in the main hall early.

"I've seen the princess go first."

"Ning Hua, you're here, sit down and talk. Come on, serve tea. ”

The palace maid quickly brought the tea, and then withdrew lightly.

Princess An Ning was a little restless: "Ning Hua, have you configured the medicinal materials?" ”

Seeing her anxious and hopeful appearance, Shen Ninghua smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have already configured the antidote in the early stage." ”

The smile on Baili Anning's face suddenly bloomed, and her beautiful face was extraordinarily bright: "Great, great." ”

Shen Ninghua didn't continue to sell Guan Zi, and took out a jade bottle from his sleeve: "Here are fifteen antidotes, the princess can take one every day, there may be some uncomfortable symptoms after using it, please insist on it." ”

"As long as I can get rid of this smell, I can tolerate anything." Princess An Ning got up and took the antidote, and she didn't call anyone to test the medicine, so she directly poured out one and swallowed it.

Shen Ninghua was slightly surprised by her movements, but thinking of her desire to detoxify, she understood. True or not, it's a good feeling to be trusted.

"Princess, this time in addition to sending the antidote, I have one more thing to ask for."

Baili Anning swallowed the pill, feeling that the pill melted in his mouth, his whole body became warm, and he said in a very good mood: "If Ning Hua has anything to say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." ”

The smile on Shen Ninghua's face shriveled: "The princess should have also heard that the plague in Pingcheng has spread to most of the south of the Yangtze River, and the people are now in the midst of fire and water, but all the people of Da'an hope that this disaster will pass quickly." ”

"You're right, a few days ago, my father and second brother didn't know how much hair they had lost, but fortunately, the prescription was researched, thanks to your family."

Shen Ninghua's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "The old doctor who treated me at the beginning was a hermit master, and when he passed away, he left me some things, of which the pills made accounted for most of them, when my second sister broke her leg, in order to save her, I took out the pills and gave her to take." After my father found out, he took away a lot of the medicine bottles, and my younger brother Shen Xuanye followed Master Chen to learn medical skills, and he also studied a lot of prescriptions. ”

Princess Anning's eyes widened: "I thought they had found the lost medical book, or that a doctor with excellent medical skills had come up with a solution, but unexpectedly, it was analyzed by studying the medicine you gave." Why are you so stupid, it's not for nothing that those people are cheap? ”

Shen Ninghua's expression was slightly solemn: "Princess, I never thought of competing for credit, if there is nothing to do, I will never tell you about this matter, but I am worried...... I'm worried about the prescription! ”

"What?" Baili Anning was shocked, "I heard from the second brother that my father was very happy after getting the prescription, and he had already asked people to raise medicinal materials to make medicines and send them to Jiangnan overnight. "It's been six or seven days, and now it's too late for my father to order the recovery of medicines, it's not one or two, but tens of thousands of people in Jiangnan!

Shen Ninghua was very annoyed: "I'm just a woman, my father took the medicine but didn't trust me, I haven't had the opportunity to see the prescription researched by my father and second brother, only a few days ago, when the Zhao family sent someone to discuss with my father, I had the chance to see the prescription, if it was earlier, I would have been able to stop the emperor from sending out the medicine." ”

"After the father got the prescription, he asked the hospital to study it, and the hospital only said that the prescription was exquisite, but he didn't know if it was really effective against the plague, only that it was harmless to the human body. Ning Hua, what's wrong with the prescription? ”

"The prescription seems to be harmless to the body, and the effect is also very rapid, but the people in the south of the Yangtze River are close to the water source, and the diet is partial to fish, meat and seafood, etc., after using the prescription, it will be effective in the early stage, and I am afraid that there will be severe diarrhea symptoms in two days, and the body is already weak, and the whole person is not hollowed out?"

Princess An Ning got up and walked around the hall anxiously: "Ning Hua, what should I do about this matter, there are so many people in Jiangnan, I can't watch them have an accident." ”

Shen Ninghua nodded solemnly: "Go to His Royal Highness the Second Prince first, and then he will lead the way to find the Emperor." ”

Baili Anning was stunned for a moment, the anxiety in his heart calmed down suddenly, looking at Shen Ninghua's expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish, what a great credit it was to save the people of Jiangnan, Shen Ninghua's search for her second brother was almost equivalent to giving this credit to the royal family, why did she do this?

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly: "The princess wonders why I didn't go to the emperor in person and earn this credit?" ”

"Yes, I also heard that although you are the concubine of the Shen family, your situation is not good, with this credit, you don't have to be despised anymore."

Shen Ninghua smiled and didn't mind at all: "If you don't get taken seriously, you won't be used, but it's easy." ”

Baili Anning raised her head suddenly, looking at Shen Ninghuayun's light smile, and suddenly felt a little empathy: she was also not favored, although she sometimes had resentment, but when she saw other sisters who were used to marry with affinity, she was not unhappy that she was not favored. It's just that as a princess of the royal family, she should take her own responsibilities, and let's take a step at a time in the future.

"Ning Hua, I'll ask someone to find the second emperor brother, you wait a while."

There was a steady footstep at the door, and Baili Jinchuan walked in with a serious face: "No need to look for it, I'm here." ”

Shen Ninghua's eyes flashed, and he was not surprised at all that he appeared at this time: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

Baili Jinchuan walked up to her and looked at Shen Ninghua seriously with his eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in the bottom of his heart.

Shen Ninghua maintained a half-squatting posture, Baili Jinchuan didn't scream, she kept moving, her whole body didn't move at all, only the step above her head made a crisp sound.

Baili Jin Chuanzai looked at the girl in front of him carefully: she obviously bowed and couldn't find the slightest mistake with a respectful attitude, but he felt empty in his heart. She is clearly close in front of her, but it makes people feel far away. Even if this etiquette is in place, it does not represent any deference, which is impossible to touch, grasp, or hold.

"Shen Ninghua, come with me to meet the emperor."
