Chapter 573: A Two-Pronged Approach (4K+)
"Your Highness, you really want to eat ......" Susie looked at the piece of tofu covered with white hair in the small bottle in Luna's hand, and her whole face turned green.
She swore to the gods that if she knew that His Highness had made this thing for food, she wouldn't help it!
"Whoever said I was going to eat it, you go get a glass of water, pick some into the water and melt it, and I'll use it to rinse my mouth. Luna handed the vial to Susie, and couldn't help but show a hint of bitterness, and greeted the eighth generation of the Eagle King in her heart.
It's not that she wants to take Joe, it's not that she deliberately finds fault, it's that she doesn't want to waste time on indifferent people and things, and she doesn't want to be led by the nose.
What about the Eagle King mate?
Today's Eagle King doesn't know how long he can live, and the one who prepared the palace banquet said that it sounded like the Eagle King's current partner, but it was just a senior escort who didn't know which crown prince invited to his father.
Wasting time on such a person and a group of people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Luna might as well make up for her own sleep.
Susie pinched her nose and rinsed her mouth with a small glass of stinky tofu water for Luna, and then ushered in the doctor of the official post, of course, the steward of the official post was indispensable to her.
The doctor is a deer orc, not young, and he looks very kind, and he speaks fluent wolf language, but his medical skills are average.
When he heard that Luna had a stomachache, he told Luna to lie down, found a few spots on Luna's stomach and pressed it, and then asked Luna to open her mouth and sniff it closely, and then the old doctor straightened up with a blank face, and said something to Luna.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Luna deliberately pressed her stomach, and there was no joy on her face.
"Has Your Highness vomited lately?" is it a pain after a meal or a pain before a meal?" the old doctor asked after a moment's thought.
"My stomach hurts when I'm hungry, and it hurts when I'm full, except for soup, what I eat and vomit, if I vomit, it's okay once, and if I have more, I'll see blood. Do you have any medicine to give me a break?" said Luna, lowering her eyes, as if she wasn't talking about herself.
When the old doctor heard this, his face became more and more solemn, and he turned his head to look at the steward of the official post, sighed, and then said to Luna:
"Your Highness, wait a minute, I don't have some medicines available there, and I will have to deliver them later. ”
"Good. Luna bowed slightly, and spoke well.
"Your Highness, ......?" Susie and Shirley Xuefei waited for the old doctor and steward to go out before they all looked at Luna with a curious expression.
"He's afraid he's going to die...... Luna rubbed her face and looked down and laughed silently.
"Huh?" Shirley looked at Luna in surprise.
"Shhhh Luna gestured silently to the three of them.
The old doctor outside the door looked at the middle-aged steward with a complicated face, he has been in the official post for a long time, the steward is good, although the family is a Yu clan, he is just a four-legged orc who relies on a little medical skills to eat, but the steward takes care of him on weekdays.
Now this ......
Glancing at the closed door on his side, the expression on the old doctor's face slowly changed from complex to solemn.
"You...... Is there anything wrong with that highness?" the steward looked at the old doctor's changing complexion, but his face became more and more ugly, and he only felt that his heart was about to be cold.
"Your Excellency, it is better to report the situation of that Highness to the palace at once, she, if she dies with us......" The old doctor's lips turned white.
"You, you, you, you say she ......" The steward's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled, and he trembled for a long time before he asked in a trembling voice, "Then do you have any way?"
"It's rotten in my stomach, with my medical skills, I can protect her for a ......month at most" The old doctor sighed, remembering the rancid smell in Luna's mouth, his hand hanging down at his side was also trembling, and at the same time he admired the little female inside, who looked like this, but he didn't show it at all.
Although he is just a doctor, because he is in the official post, he knows a little about the origin of the princess of the snow wolf country......
"Okay, you go to dispense medicine first, use the best, what is missing, even if people go to the palace to ask for it, I, I will rush to the palace!" The steward stabilized his mind and did not dare to stay longer, and after instructing the old doctor, he directly pulled the official uniform on his body, turned into a magpie, and flew away in the direction of the palace with his wings spread.
So, when it was all dark, Luna ushered in a team of court physicians, a full eight old, middle-aged and young, who circled around her for half an hour, and then all withdrew with a solemn face.
The next day, there was news in the official post that the snow wolf country, which had just arrived in the capital of the feather country, was bedridden and would die soon, and then there were some rumors in the market, mostly the cause of Luna's illness that came out of the official post.
For the people of Yuguo, whether a princess from another country is dead or alive is actually not so important to them, but it is just an anecdote to pass the time after dinner, but it can't help someone who has a heart to help Luna.
However, on the third day, the princess of the Snow Wolf Country fell ill, and if she died in the Feather Country, she would have heard of almost all the inferior coolies.
For the people, although they will panic because of this, but war and political affairs, for them are far away, although people are panicked, they still take eating, drinking and Lazar as their own responsibility, but as for the magnates of Yuguo, it is another matter.
When the matter fermented on the fifth day, the Eagle King, who had not been present in person for a long time, finally sat on the throne that had been vacant for an unknown number of days, and looked condescendingly at the ministers who were arguing below.
His six sons and daughters, except for the one who caused all this, finally became the target of the public, the sixth crown prince did not show up, and the other five were all lined up on both sides of the hall and hung their heads silently.
The Eagle King's slightly cloudy gaze skipped past the five people one by one before he slammed the ground with the scepter in his hand, causing the noisy hall to fall into silence in an instant.
"Enough noise?" Obviously, his voice was not loud, but he asked all the ministers in the palace to return to you immediately.
"The eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest
"Back to my father, I look very normal at that princess, and she doesn't look like a person who has been sick for a long time, and she feels that she is just putting pressure on my country, and wants to force you to let the sixth sister release that Samuel King Qin as soon as possible. The crown prince analyzed, but he didn't talk about whether he would let go or not.
"What the eldest brother said is not all right, that day I remember that the fourth sister wanted to get close to her, but was immediately stopped by the maid beside her, and she refused to stay at the gate of the post house for a moment, I can't say, there is indeed something wrong with the body?
Father, Erchen thinks that the princess may be true when she is sick, and she wants to use this to put pressure on our country, but I am afraid that it is also true, but I don't know how sick she is, if it is really not good, Erchen thinks that he can no longer indulge the sixth sister, and it is better to send people away earlier, so as not to really anger the wolf king.
Although the soldiers of my country are not afraid of war, if they start a war because of the selfish desires of the sixth sister, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers and the people, father. ”
The three crown princes briefly added to the situation of the day, and put on a posture of worrying about the country and the people.
"Father, I think the third brother's concerns are right. However, regarding the condition of the princess of the Snow Wolf Country, I agree with the eldest brother's statement.
I heard that the princess has been studying under the university scholar Shoop Gotte since she was a child, so Shaop Gotte is not only a scholar, but also one of the few famous doctors on the mainland, will it ......?"
The four crown princes didn't finish their words, but they made the ministers present who had just made a noise look different.
Although the name of Shopu Gotte makes people think about it, but the three generations of court physicians, the old, middle and young, went to eight leaders, but they came to a similar conclusion to the official post doctor, so even if Shopu Gotte is powerful, he is only a person and not a god, can he make that princess pretend to be sick so vividly?
Just when everyone was in deep thought because of the words of the fourth crown prince, outside the palace, a man suddenly rushed in, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he did not care about saluting, and shouted:
"Your Majesty is no good, all the trading houses in the city under the name of Prince Samuel have stopped selling salt and sugar. ”
"What?" the Eagle King stood up from his throne with a loud voice, and the five crown princes present looked at the person who rushed into the palace in disbelief.
"All, all stopped, now, other merchants selling salt and sugar in the city, who got the news, have also put up signs to suspend sales, Your Majesty, Prince Samuel's business houses are all over the country, and the ministers are afraid of ......"
The man knelt on one knee in the hall, although the words that followed were not finished, but none of the people present were stupid, and almost with his words, all the people present, whether they were big or small, suddenly changed color.
Sugar is still secondary, before Samuel brought the sugar of the Snow Wolf Country into the Yu Country, sugar itself is a luxury in the Yu Country, but salt is indispensable, from the royal family to the slaves of the people, who can not eat salt?
Although the country itself is not free of salt, but the coastal part of the country is the cliff of Mianyang, which cannot produce salt at all, and there are two salt lakes inland, but there is a salt lake that cannot be eaten at all, so most of the salt in the country of Yuguo still depends on imports.
Although Samuel is not the only merchant who sells salt, Samuel is definitely the largest salt merchant with his back, almost half of the annual salt supply of Yu'er Country, and his influence among merchants from other countries should not be underestimated.
Just when everyone's brains were buzzing because the supply of salt had been cut off, a person rushed in from outside the door again, this time it was a thousand households in battle robes, covered in blood, and almost staggered into the hall, leaving only a sentence and dying.
He said: "Morphed steel was robbed ......"
These short words were like a gossamer, but seven or eight syllables, but they made the figure of the Eagle King standing in front of the throne shake slightly.
"Click—" The sound of the scepter landing echoed throughout the temple.
"Father—"
"Your Majesty—"
The shouts of His Majesty and the Crown Prince resounded through the hall in an instant, but in the ears of the Eagle King, it was so far away, he reached out and tried to grasp something, but everything was swallowed up by the darkness that surrounded him.
Within the official post.
Luna had the chaise longue moved to the window, and sat cross-legged on it, holding a small bowl of corn kernels in her hand, putting them in her mouth one by one, chewing them carefully, and looking at the angular snow line in the distance.
It was the land of the Eagle Clan, just as the Far North was to the Wolves.
It is said that this place is covered with snow all year round, and it is the highest point in the whole continent, and on the top of the mountain, you can see the sea in the west, the ice fields in the north, and the whole continent in the southeast, and only the eagle can soar above it.
Snort,!
Another corn was thrown into her mouth, Luna thought.
"Your Highness, news has come from the palace that the Eagle King has fainted in the palace. Jon entered the door and nodded to the three maids before he walked over to Luna's side and whispered.
"Just fainting?" Luna frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Now that a group of court physicians have been gathered, we have to wait for the specific news. The corners of Jon's mouth twitched slightly, but he still answered with a blank look.
"You go and let people give a wake-up call to the good salt merchant who cooperates with your uncle, and tell them that everyone has money to make, and a long stream of water is the last word, if anyone dares to make small moves behind their backs, heh, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”
A cold glint flashed in Luna's eyes.
It's not enough, the Feather Country is more extensive and sparsely populated than the Snow Wolf Country, and if you only rely on monopolizing the goods, it will take too long to ferment.
And the businessman pursues profits, and after a long time, he sees a lot of benefits, even if she is the royal family of the Snow Wolf Country, there will be people who have different thoughts.
She needs to do both of them to completely mess up the hearts of the people in this city.
Same day?
Thinking of the Eagle King who fainted at the morning meeting, Jon shivered and responded quickly.
"Shepherd, what did I ask you to tidy up?" Luna thought for a moment, put down the small bowl in her hand, and looked at Sheffei standing beside her.
"Here!" Xue Fei replied, and found a stack of seven pamphlets from her luggage.
Jon took the booklet with both hands and glanced at Xue Fei with a little puzzlement, but Xue Fei didn't pay attention to it, but took one last look at the seven booklets, pursed his lips, and retreated.
Jon was puzzled, so he directly took the booklet marked with the word "Heavy Minister" on the top cover.
The booklet is full of small stories similar to rumors, written by birds, not complicated, Jon turned three pages in succession, then closed the booklet with shaking hands, and looked at Luna with a tangled look of wanting to say and stopping.
"Don't know how?" Luna looked at Jon with some understanding.
Gossip has always been a sharp weapon, and it is a fact that spitting stars and drowning people exists, but there are not many people who can make good use of this sharp weapon.
The main reason is that the people are almost illiterate and cannot take the initiative to receive these gossips, so they can only rely on word of mouth, which is a bit troublesome.
But it's good to be able to pass it on.
Thinking of the wind and rain that had been harvested by letting Shirley Sherphy and Susie go out to pull the slaves of the embassy to pour bitter water, Luna looked out the window at the branches dyed with dazzling green, and began to popularize the basics of various words and attacks to Jon.
