He Zheng presented the pre-prepared plan to Emperor Jinde, "The Crown Prince and I have already discussed the countermeasures. Please review them, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jinde opened it and nodded, "Not bad."
A cold look flashed across King Kang's eyes, "Ahem."
The prince is really lucky to have the Marquis of Anguo assisting him.
Prince Kang pursed his lips, took a step forward, and said with a firm expression, "Father, I beg you to go to Fuzhou and do your best to help."
"I will do everything in my power to prevent the spread of the plague and save the people from suffering."
Prince An, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was shocked.
King Kang is really trying too hard. If he accidentally gets infected by going to the plague area of Fuzhou, it would be fatal.
However, Prince Kang is already a sickly person and he is not expected to live long. It might not be a bad idea to give it a try. At least it will make his father look at him with new eyes.
Prince An himself would certainly not make such a risky request because he is afraid of death.
Prince Qin frowned and said, "My dear brother, your body may not be able to handle this. Please don't try to be so stubborn."
He looked at Emperor Jinde and said, "Father, please give me a chance to make amends."
"Your Majesty, I will never let you down!"
He Zheng said calmly, "Where does your highness want to set fire to this time?"
"You!" Prince Qin's mouth twitched and he gritted his teeth, but he saw that Emperor Jinde no longer wanted to pay attention to him.
At this time, Eunuch Cao hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory's Director Zhengming Chonglun requests an audience."
Emperor Jinde summoned people in.
Ming Chonglun: "Your humble servant pays respects to Your Majesty."
Emperor Jinde rubbed his brows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ming Chonglun: "Your Majesty, in the face of this epidemic, I have recently observed the celestial phenomena again and conducted divination and deduction overnight, and finally saw a glimmer of hope."
"Turning point?" Emperor Jinde suddenly became alert.
Ming Chonglun raised his head slightly and said, "May God bless Daxia, and may the Purple Star descend to save all living beings."
Although the divinations of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had never been wrong, the prince did not really believe in such ghost and god theories.
King Qin scoffed, "Who is this sacred Purple Star that the Supervisor is talking about?"
Ming Chonglun's lips curled slightly: "It is the wife of the Marquis of Anguo."
The words fell.
The hall was as silent as a mouse, and the air around it became a little colder.
He Zheng raised his eyelids and looked at Ming Chonglun. His chiseled face was covered with frost, revealing a captivating murderous intent.
His expression was indifferent, and his tone was dangerous, "I didn't know that my wife is a Purple Star, and she can turn the tide of the current situation by herself."
Ming Chonglun broke out in a thin layer of sweat and said, "This is God's will."
Yes, it’s God’s will.
Your Majesty naturally knows how to make a decision between the people of Fuzhou and Xie Qingyao.
No one answered for a moment.
Ming Chonglun could only be thankful that Marquis Anguo did not carry a sword, otherwise, he would probably have cut his neck with the sword.
It was Emperor Jinde who broke the deadlock, asking everyone else to leave and leaving Ming Chonglun alone.
In the middle of the night, Xie Qingyao turned over and felt that there was no one beside her, so she woke up a little.
Xie Qingyao sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
After waiting for a while, the door was pushed open quietly, moonlight poured in, and then a tall figure gradually approached.
He Zheng saw that Xie Qingyao had woken up, walked a few steps to the bedside, his eyes as dark as ink.
Xie Qingyao took his hand and asked, "What's wrong? Any news from the palace?"
When she touched He Zheng's hand, she was stunned and felt a little cold.
He Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and pulled his hand back, "I just came back from outside, I feel cold."
After saying that, he went to change his clothes and came back.
Xie Qingyao pulled He Zheng to sit down and looked at him sideways.
He Zheng was surrounded by a coldness and his expression was indistinct. He spoke about the things in the palace in an indifferent tone.
"Purple Star?"
Xie Qingyao exclaimed in surprise.
How could she be a Purple Star?
"Is Ming Chonglun really that powerful? Can he deduce this just by divination?"
Being aimed at her with such precision inevitably made people suspect that there was something fishy going on.
Xie Qingyao originally did not believe in ghosts and gods, or divination, until something happened to her, and she had to admit that things in the world really could not be viewed with common sense.
He Zheng's eyes were as dark as the abyss, "Ming Chonglun and Concubine Li have a close relationship."
ah?
This made Xie Qingyao stunned.
He Zheng: "On the surface, they have nothing to do with each other. Apart from the palace banquet, they have no intersection. I have been spies in the palace for many years before I discovered the connection between them."
Xie Qingyao guessed, "Is Ming Chonglun in love with Concubine Li?"
He Zheng said in a cold tone: "Yeah."
Xie Qingyao suddenly understood, "So this so-called Purple Star is nothing but Ming Chonglun's nonsense, and it was Concubine Li who instigated it, and her purpose was to deal with me."
She licked her lips and uttered two words - "overpraising".
Concubine Li and Ming Chonglun conspired to set up a trap to praise her to death.
There are many ways to kill people without bloodshed, and praising to death is one of them.
When the people were in panic, the Purple Star, who was supposed to save the world, was introduced and held high, but all this was just a lie.
She is not a Purple Star at all, nor does she have the ability to turn the tide, reverse the situation, and save the world.
So, when they find that she is useless, the people will blame all their resentment and suffering on her incompetence.
It was she, the Purple Star, who failed the people's expectations. It was all her fault.
This caused public outrage, and the rumors and anger of the people were enough to destroy her.
Even if He Zheng tried his best to protect her at that time, she would have become a sinner who would be infamous for eternity.
The reputation of the Anguo Marquisate will also be severely damaged.
After a moment of silence, Xie Qingyao gritted her teeth and said, "Very good."
She wrinkled her nose like a fox with its fur standing on end.
"Since they've put so much thought into setting this up, it would be embarrassing if I didn't appreciate it."
