Chi Mu looked at him and it took a long time before he explained to him.
"Everything I have done over the years is for Your Majesty, for this country, and for those innocent people. If there really is a way to cure it, I will naturally be the first to give it to Your Majesty. However, this medicine is not a cure."
He looked at the Emperor, then knelt again.
"Rongrong has been staying up day and night these days just to develop the final antidote. But even if she read all the suicide notes carefully, she still didn't find what she wanted in the end. She couldn't bear it."
The emperor looked at him, and through those eyes, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Finally he spoke again, "Get up."
Chi Mu stood up and thanked him for his kindness.
"You and Chen Yuerong have been in the suburbs these days, and you have been traveling for the people of Jiangnan. You are indeed exhausted. I saw you in the court today, and you look so haggard. If the Queen Mother sees you, she will misunderstand me again. You should go back home early and have a good rest."
He looked at the emperor and instantly understood what the emperor meant.
This is ultimately a case of crossing the bridge and demolishing the river.
But he did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead agreed to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I dare not disobey your will. I just hope that the people in the south of the Yangtze River can be treated kindly by others instead of being abused."
"These are all people of the world. How can I favor one over another?"
He did not express his dissatisfaction, but went to the emperor again.
"Since Your Majesty has said so, then I have nothing to worry about."
He came out of the palace and sent someone to pick up Shen Yuerong, and the two returned to the palace in the capital.
The moment she saw Fang Mu again, Shen Yuerong knew that he couldn't help it after all and told the current emperor about this matter.
And now everything was just as they had guessed, and the emperor finally let them return to the capital first.
"I'm sorry, if I can help it, you can still be with those..."
“They don’t matter now.”
Female Shen Yuerong leaned on the cushion and looked at Chi Mu.
"You got up early today. Not only did you go to the court to be summoned by His Majesty, but you were also called to the imperial study by him. I'm afraid you are exhausted now. So take a good rest. As for other things, we have a long way to go."
Chi Mu looked at her and finally nodded.
While he was resting, she was not idle, but called Fang Mu Taohua and others over.
“I wonder what Miss Shen wants?”
Fang Mu looked at her, and Shen Yuerong knocked on the table. "Now he and I will be trapped in the capital. Maybe tomorrow morning, this place will be surrounded by people from the court. So I hope you can arrange some people at this time to protect the people in Jiangnan who are still alive."
"I heard this afternoon that His Majesty sent the Royal Guards to take over there, and the Crown Prince also..."
It seems that their hands are indeed a little fast.
But he really wanted to cover up his sins in a hurry.
"Then is there a possibility that we can protect the people of Jiangnan in their... and let them receive the treatment they deserve, instead of..."
Shen Yuerong was not only afraid of the patients whose symptoms had been relieved, but in the end they were thrown into the fire and burned to death like poisonous scorpions.
"If this is your request, your subordinates will actually do their best."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Shen Yuerong could only tell Fang Mu about this matter, and then instructed Taohua Qinghua, "You two go to the street and buy some medicinal herbs, preferably those that replenish qi and blood."
"good."
After a night's rest.
When he woke up the next day, Chi Mudu was full of energy. He wanted to dress up and attend the court meeting, but was stopped by Shen Yuerong.
"how?"
He looked at her with some doubt. This was his first court meeting after officially returning to Beijing, and the topic of discussion was most likely the treatment of the people in Jiangnan.
He cannot be absent easily, otherwise who knows where the people of Jiangnan will be met?
"You can't go to court today because you are sick today."
"Am I sick today?"
Chi Mu looked at Shen Yuerong in disbelief.
"Today, the court will definitely discuss where the people of Jiangnan will be placed in the end. If I don't go, I have no idea how they will treat the people of Jiangnan next. Wouldn't all the efforts you and I have made during this period be in vain?"
Shen Yuerong looked at him and said, "We can no longer care about this matter."
Even though Chi Mu has the Empress Dowager's help behind him, it seems that the person who really doesn't want these Jiangnan people to live is not the Crown Prince but the Emperor.
"What?"
"Yesterday, you and I just returned to the capital not long ago, and the emperor sent the Imperial Guards to take over those Jiangnan people. Let me ask you, do you believe that His Majesty sent people to take over in order to protect the names of those Jiangnan people?"
He stopped in his tracks, and when he heard these words, he was still somewhat doubtful, and spoke hesitantly.
"Do you think the emperor still wants to get rid of these Jiangnan people?"
Shen Yuerong nodded.
She handed the note she had just received this morning to Chi Mu.
"I was keeping an eye on it, always wanting to know who would take over the people of Jiangnan in the end, so that Fang Mu could try to shoot them with a few brothers. Guess where they are now?"
He reached out and opened the note, but he never expected that the content on the note made him deeply regret everything he had ever done.
"How could these people..."
"I originally thought that this matter was just the Crown Prince doing something wrong, and the Crown Prince and the Queen wanted to cover up the truth, so they attacked Jiangnan. But now I think that all this is a false impression made by the Emperor himself. What he wants to promote is the hatred between you and the Crown Prince."
He just returned to Beijing.
But he always just did his job, and apart from some quarrels with General Fu, he was very good friends with all the officials in the capital.
Although the prince also built up his own power, he never had any conflict with him, and the two of them kept to themselves.
But ever since what happened in Jiangnan.
No matter whether it was the prince or him, they were both forced onto a path, which was to scheme against each other.
They didn't know how long they had walked on this road, and they no longer knew who was carrying the responsibility and what they wanted to do.
"What a cruel heart."
He never thought that the emperor would use him, let alone thought that everything that happened was caused by him behind the scenes.
"Although the Crown Prince has ambitions, he would never achieve what he has today. Now, these innocent people have been locked up in the cellar by the Royal Guards."
