Chapter 330 Opening a Clinic

"Why not?" Huo Zheng said seriously, "Old General Xu has protected the country for many years and has made great contributions to the country. I cannot take action against the Xu family. Breaking Xu Pengju's leg will prevent him from causing trouble outside. This is not a bad thing for the Xu family."

Chunzhi had seen Xu Pengju and Wang Wu fighting in the street over an actor and being thrown into jail. Not long after that incident, this man caused such trouble at the wedding banquet of Shao Feiyang and Princess Xiling. It was obvious that this man was used to causing trouble.

What Huo Zheng said was true, but Chunzhi felt that doing so would cause trouble for Shao Feiyang.

She said, "Xu Pengju just had a conflict with General Shao at the wedding banquet. If you send someone to break his legs now, it will be troublesome if the Xu family blames the Shao family for the vengeance."

Huo Zheng laughed and said, "Xu Pengju was always making enemies, so even when he got beaten up, they couldn't find out who did it. Besides, Feiyang isn't one to hold grudges. He kicked Xu Pengju away in public at the wedding banquet, and so many guests saw it. The Shao family can't be blamed for this."

Seeing that he looked like he had everything under control, Chunzhi asked, "What if someone finds out that you sent your men to do it?"

Huo Zheng smiled and said, "Jiang He does things steadily and won't leave any traces."

Seeing that he didn't take such a small matter seriously at all, Chunzhi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious: "Do you do this kind of thing often?"

Anyway, he is so skilled, it is definitely not the first time.

Huo Zheng smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, Princess, don't worry about it."

Chunzhi understood that this guy was a habitual offender.

She suddenly remembered the time in Linshui Town when she and Wu Xin were suing over the tofu workshop. On the day of the trial, Wu Xin's leg was broken and he was covered in wounds. He almost didn't make it to court...

Chunzhi thought at the time that it was because she burned incense and prayed to Buddha in the City God Temple, asking for the gods' protection, that Wu Xin suffered such bad luck.

Now that I think about it, it must have been done by Huo Zheng.

No wonder he said at that time, "It is better to ask God than to ask me."

Chunzhi thought about this and looked at Huo Zheng intently, "So you were the one who sent people to beat Wu Xin?"

Huo Zheng met her gaze and smiled without saying anything.

Chunzhi couldn't help but smile, "Huo Zheng, Huo Zheng, you and Huo Yan are truly brothers."

Huo Zheng is also a vengeful person.

"I'm different from him." Huo Zheng disagreed, "I never retaliate against innocent people."

"That's true."

Chunzhi nodded, read the letter sent by Song Wan'er twice, put it back into the envelope carefully, and went to the study to write a reply to her.

Huo Zheng got up and left the house, taking a few officials with him to inspect the situation in various places in Xizhou City.

The couple are both busy with their own things.

Chunzhi wrote to Song Wan'er about the recent events in Xizhou, and asked someone to bring Xiaoxinghui back. She had recently been learning to paint and had sent two portraits of Xiaoxinghui to Queen Wang.

At first, his drawings were completely unlike the real thing, but after Huo Zheng’s hands-on instruction, his painting skills improved slightly.

Chunzhi painted a picture of a small star chasing a rabbit. After it was left on the desk to dry, she mounted it with a flower scroll and had it sent back to the capital to Queen Wang.

Her painting skills are incomparable to Queen Wang's, but her intentions are the same.

After doing all this, Chunzhi handed Xiaoxing back to the care of the wet nurse and Qingye and others. She and Madam Wang and others took the rice to distribute to the poorest people in Xizhou.

As the queen of the King of Xizhou, Chunzhi has been very busy recently. Xizhou is poor, the land is difficult to cultivate, and the harvest is far less than that of the land in Dongzhou and Nanzhou.

Moreover, because many young and middle-aged people died in previous banditry and wars, there were many elderly, weak, women and children in Xizhou who were unable to do heavy work and had difficulty making a living. When Huo Zheng was in Xizhou, he had explicitly stipulated that rice and grain must be distributed to these people on time.

The regulations are just on the surface, and we still have to check whether the officials below are following them.

As the princess of Xizhou, Chunzhi was more convenient to deal with the elderly, the weak, women and children. In addition, Huo Zheng was really busy, so she took the initiative to take on this matter.

Accompanied by Mrs. Wang and others, he was busy for several days.

Chunzhi and Huo Zheng could not see each other during the day and only slept together at night. Sometimes they were talking and no one responded, and when they turned around, they found that the other person had fallen asleep.

Days like this are busy and fulfilling.

At the beginning of July, Honeysuckle came to the palace to find Chunzhi. She was still wearing men's clothes and dressed up as a teenager.

Cui'er and Qingye both knew that she was a girl, and quickly brought her to the princess.

Chunzhi saw that Jindong's eyes were bright and she was smiling, so she asked her, "Why are you so happy? Is there any good news?"

"I've rented a shop in the east of the city to open a clinic." Honeysuckle said with a smile, "It opens tomorrow. I'd like to ask the princess to do me a favor and help boost its popularity."

"Your clinic is about to open? So soon."

Chunzhi was quite surprised.

The last time Rendong said she wanted to open a clinic, Chunzhi told her that if she needed any help, she could just let her know.

As a result, Rendong found a shop by himself and came to tell her just when he was about to open it.

This girl is a bold and daring person.

Honeysuckle said a little embarrassedly, "It's just a small clinic, and the rent didn't cost much."

After the banditry and war, the population of Xizhou was much smaller than before. Even though Huo Zheng and Xizhou officials tried their best to rebuild Xizhou, many people still left for other places.

There are many vacant shops and houses in Xizhou City.

It really wouldn't cost much money for Rendong to rent a shop and open a clinic at this time.

"It's great that you can open a clinic. It doesn't matter how big the clinic is, as long as you have the heart to do so."

Chunzhi has been in business before, even if it was just selling tofu, she knows how difficult it is for women to do business.

She liked Jindong's courage to get things done, and said with a smile, "Just go ahead and do your work. I'll definitely come and support you tomorrow morning."

Chunzhi not only wanted to go by herself, but also planned to bring Lady Wang and others with her.

Although no one likes to go to the clinic, everyone has some illness or pain. Honeysuckle has extraordinary medical skills. As long as she makes her name known, she will never have to worry about having no patients in the future.

After hearing what the princess said, Honeysuckle thanked her repeatedly and gave her the detailed address.

The area east of the city is nice, it's the place with the most pedestrians in Xizhou City.

Chunzhi had set up a tent there before to distribute porridge, so as soon as Rendong mentioned the place, she knew it.

This was the first time that Rendong opened a clinic, and she had a lot of things to do, so she said goodbye after saying this.

Chunzhi was afraid that she would be overwhelmed by the workload, so she sent Cui'er to help.

Cui'er is from Xizhou and has a cheerful and outgoing personality, which complements Rendong perfectly.

At first, Ren Dong was embarrassed to bother Cui Er, but Cui Er came forward and took her hand, "Just wait and see how loud my voice is. The clinic will open tomorrow, and with me here, we don't have to worry about ringing the gong."

Only then did Honeysuckle thank Cui'er again and again and take her with him.

Chunzhi sat down and thought about it, then sent someone to inform Mrs. Wang and the others that they should go to the east of the city early the next morning to visit the newly opened clinic.

At this time, outside the palace, there was a spy who followed the Prince of Chang'an and his wife to Xizhou on the orders of the Ninth Prince. After watching day and night for so long, he finally found some clues among the people coming and going. He sent the news that a young man who looked very similar to Honeysuckle was in contact with the Princess of Chang'an back to the capital and reported it to the Ninth Prince.
