Chapter 263: Better than the Crown Prince
He Yujin listened to what they said not far away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart This Ji Qirui really can't hear good and bad words, and he can go down any steps. Seeing that Song Qian and Ji Changye couldn't knock on the side of him, he couldn't help but step forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cares about the people, and he can carry it clearly. I didn't ask about such a trivial matter as disaster relief and canal repair, but now that there is a plague, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come, which really warms the hearts of the people."
In the past, he didn't do the tiring work, but now he came pretending to come, wanting to hand over what they did to his own credit, which is really whimsical, and Yujin will definitely not let him get his wish.
He had already said it very clearly, that is, he suspected that the plague had nothing to do with him Ji Qirui.
After really understanding the meaning of He Yujin's words, Ji Qirui's face changed suddenly, very ugly but not easy to indulge in temper, so he could only secretly grit his teeth and swallow his anger back, and pretended to reply: "This prince is also unhappy because of this matter, but it is really difficult to get out of the emperor's capital, and if this prince is here, this kind of thing will not happen." With that, he sighed reproachfully, as if reflecting.
In fact, during this period of time, he was planning how to let Ji Changye die here unknowingly, and he was indeed not idle for a moment.
Looking at his fake appearance, He Yujin knew that his words were not painful for him, and he made himself angry when he said it, so he secretly sympathized with Song Qian and Ji Changye, who were still confronting him, and then bowed back.
At this time, in the distance, Ji Qimu and Yuan Ruici drove back.
When he saw Ji Qirui's figure, Ji Qimu's face did not change, but he did not show his hostility towards him because of his decency, and he was forced to kneel down to worship.
It was precisely because of Ji Qimu's slander that he was relegated to such a realm, and now it is not easy to face him calmly, which also makes Song Qian admire his belief and strong psychology very much.
Ji Qimu didn't expect to have an intersection with Ji Qimu here, after all, he didn't think that the two of them would meet again when he slandered him for rebellion, or at this juncture.
The weakness of his heart that he couldn't help but cough lightly twice to ease the embarrassment and said, "Get up, I don't know why the Nine Emperor Princes are here? If there is a plague here, it is better not to be contaminated with the upper position, otherwise how can I explain it to Your Majesty?" Now that he is making a posture of concern, he doesn't believe that Ji Qimu and they can pick out any thorns.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already known about this, and I came here to discuss this matter with the regent and the princess, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be here." It really surprised him.
"And what are you looking for the Regent? Although." Ji Qirui hurriedly diverted the topic, so as not to let others think that Ji Qimu was wronged by himself, and mentioned the incident a few months ago again.
Ji Qimu didn't want to delay his own affairs because of him, so he said to Song Qian and Ji Changye: "There is only one county in the vicinity that has the phenomenon of plague, and there are no people from other counties in the nearby counties who have gone for no reason recently." As soon as these words came out, the coincidence of cause and effect of this matter was already determined, and it was obvious that someone was behind the instructions and manipulation.
Song Qian lowered his eyes and pondered, because Ji Qirui couldn't say what he really thought here, so he prevaricated: "In this case, the top priority is to lock down this place and not let the plague spread."
Ji Qirui didn't expect that he didn't exist here, no one could take care of him at all, and he wanted to come to pretend to care about him, so he was not interested, so he made an excuse for himself and said that he was going to run errands, and then got into the carriage and left in a gloomy manner, so as not to be embarrassed here again.
He Yujin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally left, I thought he was going to stand here all day. Song Niangzi, do you think this matter is really related to the prince?" He suddenly leaned over mysteriously and asked Song Qian in a low voice.
"I don't know. There is no evidence at the moment, and there is no way to speculate, what if you have wronged someone?" Song Qian shook his head, still not so sure.
"Whoever does such a thing deserves to be damned." He Yujin looked at the people who were infected with the plague in deep pain, and said very distressed and angry.
Look
With his excited expression, Song Qian comforted, "Fortunately, the plague has not spread now, but a few people can arrange it soon. But you should be careful not to get infected, or you will be offended." According to He Yujin's appearance, it is difficult not to worry about whether he will be infected.
He Yujin swore and replied confidently: "Don't worry, Song Niangzi, according to my body bones, these are not a threat to me at all, let alone infected." After that, he patted his chest and showed it to Song Qian.
Song Qian, who was amused by his actions, didn't know what to say.
At the same time, Ji Changye, who was standing not far away, saw Ji Qimu's strange expression, so he guessed why he was bothered about things, so he opened his mouth and said..."It's better not to say these things at this juncture, otherwise Your Majesty will not believe our words, otherwise you will not be deceived by the prince so easily."
"Don't worry, second brother, in fact, I don't care about this matter for a long time, after all, it's been so long. Coming here, although the days are relatively hard. But it's easy not to worry about those intrigues in the imperial capital, and I don't pose a threat to the prince here, so he won't target me anymore." Ji Qimu in turn comforted Ji Changye and said, after all, he really didn't believe that he could still be targeted here.
Ji Changye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said what he had been foreshadowing for a long time: "Even if this plague has nothing to do with him, it is the people who suffer in the end, so what we are doing now is for the people, and we should not give up these people because of him."
"Second brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I understand the reason, and I don't hide it, but I also suspect that he is the mastermind behind this matter, and people should do it themselves and pay the price for what they have done. And nine times out of ten, he did this kind of thing to target us, and what to do in front of His Majesty. If he wants to do that, he'll have to see what else he's capable of." The implication is that he wants to watch the fire from the other side, and he stays away from this matter, after all, it really has nothing to do with him.
Ji Changye knew that he had been wronged, and it was right to resent Ji Qirui. But he still did not give up on persuasion: "What the prince has done is indeed criticized, and he should pay a price, but the price should not be for these innocent people. Now I lie to the outside world that I am riddled with a bad disease, and people's hearts are panicking, and it is difficult to mobilize material resources to solve this problem. But you have enough supplies and no signs of the plague, so I want to ask you for help. I hope you'll agree." Now he is still facing the crime of bullying the king and Ji Qirui's targeting, he is really strong and lacking in energy, and there is really no way.
Ji Qimu looked at his appearance, and the chaos around him, obviously a little tempted, but he still hesitated, after all, principles should not be shaken.
At this time, Song Qian came over, and after hearing the conversation between the two people, he also opened his mouth and said to Ji Qimu, "Nine Emperor Princes, with all due respect. Give to each other, if not for others, but for yourself. If the people knew that you provided the manpower and material resources for epidemic prevention, they would definitely be grateful to you. And if Your Majesty knows about this, he will definitely make a difference to you, and when the time comes, you will make up for it, and maybe you can go back to the imperial capital."
Hearing this, Ji Qimu finally relented: "It's true that these people won't be able to do it, and I'll send what I need later." Second brother, second sister-in-law, you should also be more careful, this plague will be difficult to get rid of when it is disturbing and contaminating. So, I'll go back and arrange this first."
Seeing that he agreed, Ji Changye and Song Qian were very happy, and watched him ride away.
At the same time, Ji Qirui returned to Tu Ren's mansion.
After not seeing him for a long time, Ji Qirui walked into the backyard and saw that he was directing the family to pack up his things in a hurry.
"What are you doing here?" Ji Qirui asked strangely,
Tu Ren looked worried after hearing his voice, and replied anxiously, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is a plague in this county, and you can't stay any longer. I'm old and young, what if something happens? So the little one was packing up his things and preparing to move to the house in the next county town, and would come back when the plague was gone. So if you're looking for a smaller one in the future, you'll have to go to the county next door." As he spoke, he stuffed the vase into a package that couldn't be fuller anymore.
Ji Qirui revealed nothing
Nai's expression turned to the ground with the package in his hand, and he heard the sound of the vase crackling and shattering, and said to him, "What are you running? The plague will not eat you. In the past, you were not afraid of all the bad things, but now you are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Tu Ren knelt on the ground and felt sorry for his baby, but he still didn't dare to disobey Ji Qirui, so he could only murmur aggrievedly: "Isn't it a fool not to run when danger comes?" My darling!"
Besides, there is something Ji Qirui runs faster than anyone else, and only he is very relaxed. But what about him? Dragging up and down a dozen mouthfuls, eating and drinking on bumpy roads is a problem, let alone rushing.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to get you two more from the Imperial Palace's Prince's Mansion later, isn't it a good thing? Get up, and Prince Ben wants to ask you something." Rong brought a chair and asked him to sit down.
Tu Ren got up with the shards in his arms and listened to him.
"When this plague broke out, did the regent and Song Qian make any moves? Like investigating something or something?"
Listening to his question, Tu Ren shook his head after thinking about it carefully.
"No?" Ji Qirui breathed a sigh of relief.
But Tu Ren said, "The little ones don't know either."
Ji Qirui was stunned, thinking that he would know not to ask him.
He wanted to ask something, but he didn't know anything else about it, so he could only get up and leave, not forgetting to leave a message: "Run, don't wait for the plague to come."
Sure enough, as I thought, the plague was so serious. Tu Ren was surprised, after all, this was what Ji Qirui said personally, and at this time, he couldn't take care of his broken treasures, and hurriedly beckoned the family to continue to pack up his things.
Soon the supplies and manpower sent by Ji Qimu arrived.
And Ji Qimu also personally distributed it at the street corner to appease the people not to panic, which attracted the praise of hundreds of people.
Ji Qirui also came to pretend, but as soon as he got out of the carriage, he heard the people passing by say, "This Nine Emperor Princes are really kind-hearted, much better than the prince who came a few days ago, that prince just said it, look at the Nine Emperor Princes? This gap."
