Jiang Zhiyu and Ji Xiurong had just left when the palace maid who came to take Wang Chen into the palace knocked on the door.
"Master Wangchen, are you ready? It's time to set off."
Ji Zhanzhong twirled his Buddhist beads and opened the door with determination.
When you meet someone, bow first.
"Amitabha, benefactors, please forgive me. I suddenly feel powerless and I am afraid I can't enter the palace to chant sutras for Concubine De."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ji Zhanzhong nodded and bowed again.
"Dear donors, the abbot's meditation room is not far away. Let the abbot replace a monk for you. Amitabha..."
"this……"
Ji Zhanzhong no longer paid attention to the palace maid's confusion and simply closed the door.
The palace servants returned empty-handed, and the news soon reached the ears of the Sixth Prince.
Xiao Yili frowned when she heard this.
"Rejected by the monk?"
What kind of monk dares to refuse an invitation from a prince?
"check."
He was really curious about the identity of the monk who could be visited by Jiang Zhiyu in person.
And that woman...
It seems that there is some intricate connection between her and the second brother.
Is that Jiang Zhiyu up to some tricks again?
"Investigate every detail!"
"yes."
The Sixth Prince was like a frightened bird, but Jiang Zhiyu knew nothing about it.
On the way back in the carriage, Ji Xiurong and I ate and chatted.
"Your brother is very good-looking!"
[As expected, Yu Fei was completely bewitched by him! ]
Ji Xiurong ate the pastries in small bites and smiled embarrassedly.
"My brother has been outstanding in appearance since he was young."
"Hmm, that's really good..."
[I hope that this time, he can avoid the clutches of Concubine Yu and not be harmed by the Sixth Prince again.]
Ji Xiurong also nodded slightly.
She must protect her brother!
I also want to repay the Third Miss.
The carriage traveled for half an hour before the two of them returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Unable to resist Tan Shujing's enthusiastic invitation, we ended up having dinner in the main courtyard.
Had a good night's rest.
Go to work as usual the next day.
But unexpectedly, he heard a piece of big news that shocked Jiang Zhiyu.
At about noon, the emperor was rewarding Jiang Zhiyu as usual.
He Yanting reports——
"Your Majesty, many patients with the same symptoms have appeared in the capital recently. They all have persistent high fevers and coughs. The Imperial Hospital suspects..."
[Epidemic!! How could an epidemic happen at this critical moment?! In the original plot, the outbreak of the epidemic was caused by the severe drought in Jinzhou!]
[It seems that the plot has changed too much, and there has been a deviation...]
【But luckily I was prepared! 】
The emperor and He Yanting looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, having the young fish around makes me feel at ease.
God bless me, Apocalypse!
Send the young fish to me...
The emperor wiped away the tears in his eyes and asked Jiang Zhiyu humbly.
"Zhiyu, you are best at medicine. What do you think about this?"
Jiang Zhiyu put down the cake in her hand and answered seriously.
"Judging from the symptoms, it does look like the plague."
The emperor had already made his assumption and was not overly surprised. He just nodded slightly.
Pretending to be nervous, he asked:
"Does the young fish have a solution?"
Jiang Zhiyu knew what was going on, but he was still modest.
"You can give it a try..."
[Such a hard job, shouldn't you give me some hard work pay? ]
When the emperor heard this, his eyes rolled.
He quickly said in a flattering manner:
"If Secretary Jiang can create an antidote to the plague and control its spread, she will be promoted to the First Female Medical Officer of the Apocalypse, with a rank of Second Rank, commanding the Imperial Hospital, her monthly salary will be doubled, and she will be awarded 3,000 taels of gold."
[Wow, from the second rank! Doesn't that mean I'm better than a lot of people? I'm almost catching up with my scumbag dad!]
[And gold, three thousand taels! I'm rich, I'm rich~]
[The Dog Emperor is really winning my heart even more! ]
Jiang Zhiyu was delighted, but she showed no sign of it on her face. She stood up and saluted, saying:
"I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
【For gold, fight! 】
This made He Yanting's eyebrows frown even more, and he almost forgot about the important matter.
"Ah, Your Majesty, spies from Mobei report that there were already sick people in Mobei long before Prince Bol arrived in Beijing!"
[Boer? There's definitely something fishy about this Boer! I suspected he was a fake last time, but I never had the chance to meet him in person to confirm it.]
[Maybe I should ask my eldest brother to help me sneak into his place and take a look.]
[But Xiao Yili has been squatting for so long and still can't get in. It must be heavily guarded. What should I do...]
Jiang Zhiyu was very conflicted, but the emperor had already come up with a solution.
He thought for a moment, looked at Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting and said:
"Boer arrived from the northern desert, bringing the plague with him. The winter solstice is approaching, and Prince Boer is thousands of miles away from home. I intend to host a banquet in his honor... Yan Ting, you will arrange this."
"yes."
[Oh, the Hongmen Feast! That's a good idea!]
[But...aren't Xiao Yili's people keeping an eye on him? It would be hard for him to do anything about the epidemic under Xiao Yili's nose!]
[He's the male lead after all. If he can't even handle such a small matter and can't even keep an eye on someone, how can he be qualified to be the male lead!]
[It's still very strange! However, once I meet that Bol, I'll definitely find some clues.]
He Yanting and the emperor listened quietly to Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts and both agreed with her.
Although the Sixth Prince's methods are indeed a bit immature, his abilities are acceptable!
He wouldn't be so useless as to allow Bol to make such a loud noise under his supervision...
"There's no time to lose, Yan Ting, you should escort Zhiyu to treat those who are sick!"
