Since the Great Wei moved the capital to Luoyang, it has almost completely restored the prosperous scene of the Jin Dynasty, but it is more prosperous than the vanity and pomp of the Qianmen lord clan, and many farmers will take their own mulberry hemp to the market and exchange it for some corn fruits and vegetables from other families. There are also many caravans that have traveled to the Western Regions, bringing back some new and interesting things. There were even merchants who transported the specialties of the Southern Dynasty to Luoyang for sale.

Most of the things produced in Luoyang are cheap, while foreign things are generally more expensive. It's not that foreign things are necessarily good, but the caravan has a huge expense on the road, and it is necessary to guard against mountain bandits.

However, in the last month, there have been many whitebait vendors in Luoyang City. This whitebait is produced in the southern lakes, and after being caught from the water, the fishermen first salted it and exposed it to the sun to make it into dried fish that is easy to preserve, and then take it out and sell it. The price of whitebait in Luoyang City was fair at first, but then there were more and more sellers, and the price fell all the way, until the most exaggerated time, a small handful of corn can be exchanged for a large bag of whitebait, enough for a family of three to eat for 20 days.

Feng Miao secretly noticed it a few times, and felt that it was strange, so he sent a few little eunuchs out, pretending to be ordinary people who wanted to buy whitebait, and talking to the whitebait sellers.

The little eunuch went a few times, and then brought back a message: "Back to Zhaoyi Niangniang, most of those who sell whitebait come with the caravan that transports the goods. Some are ordinary fishermen, while others are businessmen who are accustomed to buying low and selling high, and they are all in a hurry to sell their whitebait. ”

Feng Miao felt more and more strange when she heard this, whitebait is very common, as long as you cast a fishing net to catch it, you can catch it at any time of the year, so common that no one wants to hoard it at all. But this kind of thing is rarely overflowing, because it has to be dried little by little, and ordinary farmers can't make much at home for a while. She couldn't help asking, "The long journey is hard, and the price is extremely low, how can there be such a business in the world?" ”

The little eunuch bowed his head and replied, "I heard from these people that not many people originally bought silverfish, but there were too many in the rivers and lakes, and when the fishing nets were cast, they often brought a lot of them, and it was a pity to put them back, so they simply dried them and sold them." About half a year ago, for some reason, the price of whitebait skyrocketed, and the market was in short supply. Later, the government of the Southern Dynasty actually issued a notice, requiring every household to hand over a certain amount of silverfish on a regular basis, and if they couldn't hand it over, they would be beaten and thrown into prison. Those who grow rice and hemp can only continue to buy from fishermen at high prices. ”

Feng Miao frowned and listened carefully to the little eunuch's words.

"Fishermen go fishing day and night, and in the past, if they caught a whole net of silverfish, they would only feel bad luck, but at that time it was the complete opposite, even if they caught the big fish that were originally valuable, they would throw it back, leaving only the whitebait. The people who used to make a living by repairing boats and mending nets by the lake also went to catch whitebait, as if the nets were jumping around one by one. The little eunuch said vividly, "Suddenly, one day, all the whitebait caught by the government was not wanted, so the price of whitebait on the market also fell again and again." These fishermen had no choice but to beg these caravans to bring the whitebait to Luoyang for sale. ”

Feng Miao grabbed a small silver ingot from the clay pot at hand, rewarded the little eunuchs, and told them to go down, but she thought about it again and again in her heart. She believes that the bigger the secret, the more it will be hidden in these seemingly insignificant details, and there must be some secret behind the fact that the price of whitebait first rises so crazy and then suddenly falls so bizarrely.

After dinner, Yuan Hong left the palace with only his personal Xuanyi Wei and went to Li Chong's mansion. Mrs. Li sent him a message saying that she had thought of a new treatment and that it was worth trying. Mrs. Li never boasted about her medical skills, and she said that the method worth trying must be very sure.

Feng Miao was alone in Chengyang Palace, and continued to take out the unfinished recital and read it slowly. But she thought about the situation on Yuan Hong's side, and she couldn't make up her mind, usually she could read the recital in just half an hour, but she actually watched it for more than two hours this day.

She closed the last recital and asked the internal officials to come in and take it out, thinking that she hoped that the person invited by Master Li Chong could cure Yuan Hong's illness, even if it couldn't be cured, it would be good to help him reduce some pain.

Sickness......?! Feng Miao's heart suddenly tightened, the days in the Southern Dynasty passed as fast as flowing water, at that time she was not in good spirits, and she couldn't remember many things later, but she suddenly remembered that Xiao Luan had been taking medicine when she was sick, and the medicine she used was silverfish. The clues before and after were connected, and she vaguely figured out the real reason for the matter.

Outside the door of the palace, there was a hurried but slight footstep of the inner supervisor, the vermilion lacquer door slowly opened, Yuan Hong wrapped in silver silk brocade, walked in from outside the door, with some night fog on his body, but the person seemed to be in a good mood.

Feng Miao ran over quickly, threw herself into his arms, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you......

Yuan Hong opened his arms, wrapped her tightly in his arms, and said almost at the same time as her, "Miao'er, I have something to tell you......" There was some joy in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, under his habit of controlling and deliberately controlling his emotions for a long time, the joy was faint, but it penetrated into the deepest part of his eyes.

"Then the emperor will say it first." Feng Miao stood on tiptoe, untied the big coat on his body for him, and took the tea that had been prepared for the time and handed it to him.

The inner eunuch who was waiting in Chengyang Palace was already familiar with the habits of the emperor, and quietly withdrew and closed the palace door. Yuan Hong took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "The lady invited by Li Chong told me today that she can reformulate a new prescription to suppress the spread of toxicity for me, and with acupuncture, she can slowly reduce the number of episodes, and the onset of the disease will not be so painful." Aside from not being able to ride a horse and shoot as happily as before, she has a seven-point certainty that she can make my body no different from a normal person! ”

Feng Miao was so surprised that she couldn't speak, she knew that the medicine she used in the past was trying to help Yuan Hong clear the remaining poison, but this toxicity had penetrated into his blood and viscera, every time the detoxification had a slight effect, the five viscera and six organs would weaken, but if the drugs that strengthened the blood veins were increased, the toxicity would spread even faster. It seems that this mysterious healer knew that it was impossible for this poison to be completely removed, so he simply changed his thinking to a diametrically opposite way, using prescriptions and acupuncture to make Yuan Hong's qi, blood and viscera enter a state similar to sleep, and even let the poison no longer spread.

"I've tried it once today, and it worked very well, and when I came back, I rode a horse, and although I couldn't run too fast, it was much better than before." Yuan Hong held her face, "Miao'er, as long as you sincerely pray and never give up, there will always be a way to solve all problems, and I can still have a lot of time with you to watch Huai'er grow up." ”

Feng Miao looked at his radiant eyebrows steadily, and repeated softly, "Yes, there is still a lot of time to ......" She only felt that this moment was like a dream, and even the words that sounded so unreal. Yuan Hong just can't do anything too drastic, it's much better than parting with life and death.

She raised a hand to her lips and bit down heavily on the back of her hand, screaming in pain, before she smiled and said, "It's not a dream...... It's not a dream, but it's better than any dream I've ever had......"

Seeing her stupid appearance, Yuan Hong grabbed her angrily and funny, rubbed the tooth marks on the back of her hand and asked, "What did you just tell me?" ”

Feng Miao then remembered that the thing he was going to talk about was also very important, and hurriedly told him about the people in Luoyang City selling whitebait these days. Yuan Hong listened carefully, but he didn't understand what she was going to say for a while, he knew that Feng Miao must have figured out the trick behind it when he said it so solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I went to Xiao Luan's mansion when I was in the Southern Dynasty, and I also entered his residence in the palace," Feng Miao explained to him little by little, "Xiao Luan also has lung fever, cough and asthma, but he doesn't want to believe in the imperial doctor in the palace, but he would rather believe in the art of misanthropy, and he has to take a large amount of silverfish as medicine every day." These details were not important in the first place, so they were never mentioned to the emperor before. ”

Yuan Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he already understood what Feng Miao was referring to: "Those people said that the price of whitebait suddenly skyrocketed, and the government required every household to hand over whitebait, presumably Xiao Luan was more seriously ill, and the amount needed was greater than before." Later, the price of whitebait suddenly fell because Xiao Luan no longer needed medicine. There are two possibilities, either Xiao Luan's illness has suddenly improved, or Xiao Luan has died or even ...... He died of illness. ”

Both of them knew in their hearts that the former possibility was very small, and it was difficult to cure cough and asthma, otherwise Feng Miao's illness would not have improved for so many years.

Yuan Hong thought more far-reaching than Feng Miao, he paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and said in a deep voice, "If Xiao Luan is seriously ill, it is the best time to march south." But the rising stars of the Xiao family are all ruthless careerists, maybe they have blocked the inner palace of the Southern Dynasty, and they plan to keep it secret, and then see the opportunity to add dragon robes. If the Southern Dynasty had enough time to change to a new emperor, the Southern Expedition would have become extremely difficult. So...... Now is the best time to march south, and it must be fast! ”

Feng Miao nodded slightly, Yuan Hong was frank and straightforward, he had fulfilled his promise, and did not send someone to assassinate Xiao Luan, or use other methods to kill him. The current situation is the best opportunity sent by God, and she also hopes in her heart that Yuan Hong can realize his lifelong ideal, cross the Yangtze River, and unify the north and south.

It's just that both of them thought of a question, with Yuan Hong's current physical condition, naturally there is no way to drive the expedition in person, who should be in command of the army going south?
