Chapter 20 Unexpected Circumstances

After Long Lan's news was delivered, she immediately returned to the princess's side and whispered to the princess: "This Li Yi is so frightened that he probably won't dare to say anything later."

The princess whispered back: "I can't see it, I'm afraid this Li Yi has already made up his mind to die."

"I don't believe anyone who is not afraid of death"

"Xiaolan, let's make a bet, if he is not afraid of dying for the people of Fancheng later, then you will be my maid until you leave Fancheng, if he is too scared to say anything later, then I will take you to Tianxiang Pavilion to eat delicious food when you go back to Yunjing." Do you dare?"

"Sister Ling, this is what you said, don't regret it"

"A word is a certainty"

"Uh-huh"

The two were making a bet, and Long Yu on the side couldn't stand it, how could he bet with the minister, so he kindly reminded him, and the two of them reined in a little.

Soon arrived at the pavilion, Li Yi walked over slowly with his head down, then knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please save the people of Fancheng"

"Why did Master Li say this? Didn't the imperial doctors go to save it?"

"Your Highness, the prescriptions of the imperial doctors can only save those who have money and status, but there are so many people in Fancheng, the lower officials can't watch them die of illness."

"Li Yi, what do you mean, can I just watch them die?" the princess couldn't help but raise her voice a little.

Li Yi trembled, and then said: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials think that Doctor Poria's prescription will definitely save tens of thousands of people in Fancheng, please allow your Royal Highness to open the pot and disperse the medicine."

"Hmph, Li Yi, are you saying that the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors don't work, and these imperial doctors are a bunch of wretched?

"The lower officials don't dare, it's just that the lower officials can't watch the people of Fancheng die on the medicine they can't afford to eat, and the lower officials implore His Royal Highness for permission," Li Yi said and kept kowtowing on the ground.

Long Lan looked at it a little unbearable, and the princess continued: "Hmph, Li Yi, don't come with me for this, don't you just watch the Taiyi Sect cure the disease and rob you of the credit."

Li Yi stopped kowtowing, prostrated on the ground, and said: "Xia Guan has been an official for fifteen years, he has read the books of sages and sages, and he only wants to serve the country and the people, and he has never had the heart of fame and fortune. The lower official does not invite merit, and the lower official can not even do this official, and beg His Royal Highness to give some medicinal materials and let the lower official save the people of Fancheng."

The princess said politely, "What if I don't give it?"

Li Yi's prostrate body began to tremble, and then slowly straightened up, with blood still hanging on his forehead, looked at the princess and said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, it is not a pity for the lower officials to die for the sake of the people of Fancheng, if Her Royal Highness the princess does not give the lower officials medicinal materials, the lower officials have to rob them."

"Do you dare?" the princess slapped the table and stood up, glared at Li Yi angrily and said, "Aren't you afraid of destroying the Nine Clans?"

Li Yi simply stood up, looked at the princess and said like crazy: "Hahaha, destroy the nine clans, I, Li Yi, have put life and death aside when I was an official, this time I can escape from death, presumably God can't get used to the actions of you princes, as a royal child, but he doesn't think about the people, he just wants to form a gang and form a party for personal gain."

"Li Yi, you are bold" Long Yu grabbed and pointed at Li Yi, but Li Yi didn't care, looked at the princess and continued: "Why, when it comes to the sore spots, you are annoyed and angry?"

"Did you say enough?" the princess sat down at this time, looked at Li Yi leisurely and asked.

"No, Your Majesty's generation of Holy King Ming, how could you give birth to these princes, and the people don't care about life or death, it is really the misfortune of the Yun Kingdom, the misfortune of the people, and they are not worthy of being royal children at all."

"Li Yi, you are enough, just what you said just now is enough to die a few times" Long Yu scolded loudly.

"Hey, let him say," said the princess, looking at Li Yi with interest.

Li Yi didn't have anything to say at this time, seeing that the princess didn't say a word, he was ready to die, he knew what he said just now, even for the sake of the people of Fancheng, he couldn't say those big rebellious words, it was too late.

"Finished?" Princess Sword Li Yi asked without speaking for a long time, and then continued: "When you are done, go and get down to business" said and put a sign on the table.

"Take the sign and get the medicine, you can do it yourself as you want to distribute it, but if this medicine doesn't work, I can remember what you said today" After the princess finished speaking, she got up and left, leaving Li Yi who was standing dumbfounded.

Long Lan ran over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing in a daze, go to the pot to fry the medicine, if you delay, there will be more deaths."

After saying that, he followed the princess away, Li Yi reacted, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, kept kowtowing, and said in the innermost: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, thank you, Your Highness......"

The three of them left the pavilion, and the princess seemed to have forgotten Li Yi's rebellious words just now, and looked at Long Lan as she walked and said, "Little girl, this time you see that you are not serving me well."

"Yes, yes, the maid is the maid, but Sister Ling, you are not angry at all?"

"What are you angry about, he is a Taishou who is worthy of the court and the people, he just said something that he usually doesn't dare to think of, besides, she didn't scold me, didn't he say that I was the same as the king of Yingchuan?"

"Sister Ling, you misheard him saying that you are not as good as the King of Yingchuan," Long Lan explained.

"Xiaolan, don't talk nonsense" Long Yu immediately stopped when he heard it.

The princess stopped, looked into Long Yu's eyes and asked, "Am I comparable to him?"

The dragon stood there dumbfounded, silent for a long time, and the princess said angrily: "You don't have the courage of that Li Yi. Well...... I really can't beat him."

After the princess finished speaking, she pulled Long Lan away, leaving a confused Long Yu, and then Long Yu shook his head and whispered: "I know that it can't be compared, you still ask"

"Long Yu, I can hear it, punish you for keeping vigil at night" The princess's voice came, and Long Yu could only shake his head helplessly.

A group of imperial doctors began to decoct the medicine and sent it to Fancheng's big family and those with rich and status. And Li Yi also got the medicinal herbs with the princess's token, and began to boil the pot on the street to decoct the medicine and disperse the medicine.

The two groups of people from the imperial doctor and Li Yi began to distribute medicine in the city, and there was inevitably some conflict between the two groups, and as soon as there was a discord, they came to the princess to complain to each other, and the princess had a big head, so they simply did not see the two groups of people, and let them do their own things.

After two days, the two groups clashed, but the spread of the plague was finally stopped.

"Long Yu, how is the situation?" The princess sat in the lobby drinking tea, and Long Lan on the side was rubbing her shoulder, watching Long Yu come in and ask.

"Your Highness, the spread of the plague has stopped. The symptoms of the people of Fancheng have improved somewhat, and the number of deaths has decreased one after another in the past few days. Long Yu reported.

"This Poria is indeed a great doctor. What about the Imperial Doctors?"

"The children of the big families in the city took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors, and their condition improved significantly, and the imperial doctors said that they could be cured in less than three days."

"It's a pity that there aren't so many hundred-year-old ginseng," the princess said leisurely, thinking in her heart: "These imperial doctors are really much smarter than Poria cocos, but this time I'm afraid the medicine costs a lot of silver."

"Your Highness, the medicine we brought is not enough, the amount needed by Li Yi is too large, almost half of it has been used up in the past two days, I am afraid it will be used up the day after tomorrow" Long Yu returned worriedly.

"Collect medicinal herbs from the surrounding counties, and if you don't have them, you can add them to other places," the princess thought about and immediately ordered.

"Your Highness, the medicine in the surrounding counties is enough for their own use, after all, the plague has spread to them, and I have already passed on the prescriptions of the imperial doctors and the prescriptions of Dr. Poria to the surrounding counties, and it is difficult to collect a large amount of medicines for a while."

"What a troublesome question, what do you say?" asked the princess, frowning.

"I've asked my subordinates to collect medicinal herbs according to Dr. Poria's instructions, and they're rushing here," Long Yu said.

"Long Yu, Long Yu, you've done it all, why are you still asking me what I'm doing?" the princess looked at Long Yu and said angrily.

"This, it's not that I don't have any money, I won't be able to pay for it if I don't tell you, those are in exchange for military spending" Long Yu stepped forward and whispered.

"Okay, Long Yu, you dare to move the military budget. How much have you embezzled?" asked the princess, with some anger on her face.

"Well, this, 200,000 taels" Long Yu replied embarrassedly.

"If you let the people of Yunjing know, depending on how you explain, I'm afraid you, the general, don't want to do it."

"He's all back, what else am I going to be a general, and besides, I didn't want to be either," Long Yu whispered.

"You, you, are so angry. Xiaolan taught him a lesson for me."

When Long Lan heard this, she showed a smug look on her face, walked up to Long Yu, pointed at him, and then looked at the princess and said: "Sister Ling, it's important to save people, my brother is not wrong, when this plague is eliminated, we can just make up the military expenses."

The princess saw that Long Lan was also on Long Yu's side, and said angrily: "You two brothers and sisters are really not afraid of causing trouble, those military expenses will be moved when they move, it's not a big deal." But if you let the people of Yunjing know about this matter, you Long Yu will be unlucky, they have been looking for your handle."

"Now the herbs are already on the way, Your Highness, what do you say" Long Yu simply didn't bother to think about it, and threw the question to the big man in front of him.

"What should I do? What else can I do? I can still return it if I ship it over. It is also considered your merit to eradicate this plague, and when the time comes, for the sake of your impatience, you can only appear to plead with you."

"I knew that Sister Ling wouldn't leave it alone," Long Lan said with a smile as she walked behind the princess, rubbing her shoulders.

"Less of this. By the way, Long Yu, when will the medicine arrive?"

"After five days, I told them to have to deliver the medicine here within five days," Long Yu said solemnly.

"It's too late, I'm afraid that something will happen in the past few days of myrrh and my symptoms will worsen. By the way, did they wake up, it's been two days, and they're still sleeping."

"Sister Ling, I've been to see it, but I can't wake up, and I guess I'll have to sleep for a while," Long Lan replied.

"Let them sleep, let's think of a way, we can't let the medicine go out, otherwise these two days will be in vain," said the princess worriedly.

Two days passed quickly, and the medicine brought by the princess was still used up, and although the illness of the people of Fancheng no longer worsened, it did not improve significantly. And the children of the big family, under the careful care of the imperial doctors, have already gone to the ground to move, and people continue to come to the Taishou Mansion to give gifts and thanks, and the princesses are all blocked from the door.

The lobby of the Taishou Mansion can be full of people, on one side is the doctor of the Tai Hospital, and on the other side is the folk doctor headed by Li Yi, there is a lot of commotion in the lobby, and the princess sits on it and watches quietly.

"Quiet, you've been talking for half an hour, what's the best way?" Long Yu roared loudly.

The lobby became quiet, and for a moment no one said a word, as if suddenly dumb.

"The medicine is still three days away, what can you do to control the situation?" asked the princess leisurely, but no one spoke.

"Imperial Doctor Huang, you say"

When Imperial Physician Huang heard his name called, he also stood up, bent down and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, there is no medicine to keep up, I'm afraid this condition is a little difficult to control, and there is nothing we can do in the Imperial Hospital."

"What about you?" asked the princess, looking at the doctors led by Li Yi on the other side.

The doctors shook their heads one by one, obviously without medicine, it would be difficult to control the epidemic, and the follow-up medicine could not be stopped, otherwise they would not know what would happen.

"Report, Her Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, people who are critically ill in the city are beginning to appear one after another"

"Report, the children of a big family in the city have a recurrence of illness"

"Report, the last pot of medicine in Fancheng has been distributed"

A company of three messengers reported the situation loudly at the door of the hall, and when they heard the news, the hall was as quiet as death, and the princess's face looked very bad.

"Imperial Doctor Huang" roared, so frightened that Huang Guangyuan quickly knelt on the ground.

"Didn't you say that the medicine you prescribed would be cured after taking it for another day? Why is there a recurrence now, do you have to keep drinking this medicine?" the princess asked as she looked at Huang Guangyuan, who was kneeling on the ground.

"The minister should die, the minister should die, the minister immediately found out the situation" Imperial Physician Huang's head was like pounding garlic, and he said with panic in his mouth.

"Hmph, don't hurry up yet"

The princess roared, and Huang Guangyuan and the imperial doctors crawled out of the hall.

Then the princess looked at Li Yi and asked, "Do you have a recurrence?"

Li Yi got up and bent down and said, "Not for the time being, but there is no medicine, and the lower officials can't guarantee that this disease will recur."

"Medicine, medicine, I want to get some medicine too, otherwise these days will be in vain," the princess sat down in her chair, worried.

"What kind of medicine?" Yang Yan stretched and walked into the lobby to ask.

When the people present saw Yang Yan coming in, they also looked at him. Seeing these people staring at him, Yang Yan was a little uncomfortable, and then said: "I have no medicine, don't look at me like this"

"You're awake," said the princess slowly.

"Ouch, I slept comfortably this night, why did I wake up alone?" Yang Yan asked when he didn't see Ai Yiming and Poria Cocos.

"Yes, you guys are sleeping comfortably," Long Lan walked up to Yang Yan and said complainingly.

Before he could speak, a maid rushed in, knelt on the ground, panting, and said anxiously: "Qiyu, Your Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, Lord Ai has symptoms of fever and vomiting."

"Report, Princess Qiyu, some doctors have symptoms of fever and vomiting"

"Report, Princess Qiyu, someone among the imperial doctors has contracted the plague"

This series of news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, "Could it be that this plague has changed again?" The faces of the people present were not good-looking, and the atmosphere became strange for a while.
