"Yes, Uncle Jin Wang, Ruanruan will get it for you."
Ruanruan opened her drawer, took out a small bottle of pills and threw it into the vase.
"Uncle Jin Wang, this medicine can be used as an emergency medicine when someone is ill. After taking it, the body will recover quickly and can save people. It can even prolong life when necessary. But it can't be taken frequently. It should only be taken in emergencies."
Prince Jin looked at the medicine taken out of the vase with burning eyes.
"Yes, uncle remembers it."
This is simply a life-saving pill!
Miracle medicine!
He tightly grasped the medicine bottle in his hand, shocked that Ruanruan had casually handed him such an important medicine.
Prince Jin spoke word by word, "Ruanruan, thank you!"
"Well...you're welcome. Uncle Jin Wang gave Ruanruan so many gifts. Ruanruan is very happy."
Ruanruan touched the nine-linked ring inside. The jade texture was very comfortable, and it looked difficult to open.
She remembered that her father had bought her one made of silver before.
Prince Jin said, "Ruanruan, if you like it, come over next time and Uncle Prince Jin will give you more."
"Uncle Jin Wang, this is more than enough."
Ruanruan spoke in a weak voice, sounded very tired, and had heavy breathing.
"Ruanruan, go to bed early. We'll talk later."
King Jin could tell that Ruanruan sounded very sleepy and spoke softly.
"Hmm~~"
Ruanruan picked up a small box from the ground, ran to her uncle's room, and placed the box and the letter on the bedside table.
She returned to her room and picked out a piece of green jade, a string of crimson beads, and a jade-carved sailboat and placed them on her uncle's bedside table.
Ruanruan feels that these things are most suitable for my uncle!
"Huff, huff, huff..." Uncle Ruan kicked the quilt off his body.
Ruanruan picked up the quilt and climbed onto the bed to tuck it in for her uncle. However, her uncle felt too hot and kicked it away.
"Stinky uncle, don't kick the quilt, or you'll catch a cold tomorrow."
Ruanruan had no choice but to pick it up and cover him with it.
"Water..." Uncle Ruan was feeling hot and uncomfortable, and he shouted in a daze.
Ruanruan put her hands on her hips, let out a breath, ran downstairs to pour a glass of water for Uncle Ruan to drink.
Uncle Ruan fell asleep after drinking.
Ruanruan then returned to her room. She was so sleepy that she lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, the personal guards of Prince Jin hurried into the study of the prefect's mansion.
"My Lord, something bad has happened!"
"Someone is causing trouble at the porridge stall right now, saying our people put drugs in the porridge and are trying to poison them."
The guard half-knelt on the ground, his tone filled with anger.
"What's going on?" King Jin frowned and stood up from the sandalwood carved chair. The servant next to him handed him a fox fur cloak.
Prince Jin took the cloak, picked up his sword, and strode out.
The guards hurriedly followed, "Your Highness, after distributing the porridge yesterday, dozens of people showed symptoms of vomiting and abdominal distension."
"Last night at midnight, someone's abdomen swelled up like a drum and suffocated to death. Someone vomited until he vomited blood and died from excessive bleeding. Someone else starved to death because he couldn't eat..." The guards reported the situation of the people one by one.
"This morning, my subordinates led people to distribute porridge at the porridge stall. Several people suffered from severe abdominal pain after drinking it, and some even fainted."
Prince Jin ordered the people around him to call Doctor Song and Doctor Luo over.
Doctor Song took dozens of pulses yesterday and was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he returned home. He was woken up in the middle of his sound sleep and felt very upset. As soon as he arrived at the porridge stall, he saw a group of people making trouble.
"Your Majesty, please give us justice!"
"Your Highness, you gave us porridge out of kindness, but you can't give us poisoned porridge!"
"Are the lives of us civilians no longer important? Or do you intend to poison us all and leave the grain of Youzhou to Qingzhou?"
"I thought you came here to speak for the people of Youzhou, but I never thought you had selfish motives. How are you any different from that corrupt official!"
Doctor Song squeezed in and shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Don't be too ridiculous. If the prince really wanted to harm you, why would he think of giving you porridge?"
"If it was really for Qingzhou, Your Majesty should have secretly taken the grain from Youzhou back to Qingzhou when he knew the governor was corrupt. There was no way he would have left it for Qingzhou."
"Are you still human? The prince is wholeheartedly concerned for the people of Youzhou, yet you accuse him of harboring selfish motives!"
"That's right, if it weren't for the prince, you would have starved to death long ago!" The servants were indignant.
"Don't blame our prince for your own health problems caused by being hungry for too long."
The man who had first started to stir up trouble among the crowd said, "Who knows? You are all from Prince Jin's Mansion, so of course you will speak for Prince Jin."
"Control everyone in Yingyi!" King Jin glanced at everyone and gave the order.
"Everyone, shut up. If you want to die, keep talking."
Yingyi drew the sword from his waist and drove the people aside. Those who wanted to speak shut their mouths when they saw the sword in Yingyi's hand.
"I know you have doubts, but everything I do is worthy of heaven and the people of Youzhou!"
"Since you all don't believe it, why not let Dr. Luo take a look at the reason first."
Prince Jin had a dark and unclear expression on his face. He glanced at the men lying and rolling on the ground, and called Dr. Luo over.
"Show them."
After taking the pulse, Doctor Luo Shen bowed to Prince Jin and said, "Your Highness, many of them have eaten tree bark that is difficult to digest. The Guanyin soil has caused them to have constipation. Even with rice porridge, their stomachs cannot digest the food, causing abdominal pain and bloating. In severe cases, they may suffocate to death."
