Chapter 55 Concubines Donate Silver



Everything outside the palace was extremely tense. Whether it was resources or refugees infected with the disease, they caused considerable trouble to all the soldiers.

Although the medicine prescribed by Doctor Yang could temporarily relieve everyone's symptoms, it did not reduce the intensity of the infection.

The entire military camp was filled with the sound of violent coughing, which sounded somewhat terrifying, and everyone had a look of panic on their face.

The refugees originally thought it was just common typhoid fever, but who knew it was actually a plague.

The leading refugee had very complicated emotions in his heart. He was also worried that the imperial court did not want to take care of the matter and only wanted to lock them up and let them fend for themselves.

So, someone secretly began to spread rumors in the military camp, saying things that were unfavorable to Xuan State and Emperor Shang Wen, hoping to use this incident to make everyone give up the idea.

Some people wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but they were stopped by a young general in black who suddenly appeared. Eleven raised his hand and knocked the troublemaker unconscious, and then sent him to Lord Duan.

"Godfather, I'm late!"

Lord Duan was a little surprised when he saw Eleven. He looked at Eleven again and again, and when he found that the little princess was not around, he was sure that Eleven came alone.

"Eleven, shouldn't you be with the princess? Why are you here with me now?"

Eleven bowed to Lord Duan, then walked to Doctor Yang and started talking about the business.

"Doctor Yang, this is something the little princess asked me to give you. Please keep it. Maybe it will be useful this time."

Doctor Yang was a little surprised. The little princess seemed to be very worried. He didn't know what Eleven had sent. He seemed to be thinking about something. When he saw that Eleven had sent something, he was a little surprised.

This thing is particularly important. It turns out to be the spiritual spring in the back mountain of Medicine King Valley. Although he doesn't remember the past, he still knows something about Medicine King Valley.

From the prophetic dream, we know that the spiritual spring is extremely precious. Could it be that the item sent by the little princess is related to the plague?

"Thank you very much."

Doctor Yang said nothing more, took the spiritual spring water, faced Lord Duan's gaze, and opened the envelope.

It turned out to be a prescription for plague, which contained two more potent herbs than ordinary medicines.

This way, the current trouble can be solved better. The little princess is really a timely help.

Eleven left after delivering the things. Doctor Yang developed the medicine that night and added three drops of spiritual spring water while no one was paying attention.

That night, all the people under Duan Hou were busy and hurried. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the people who had been coughing and having a fever felt much better.

However, the imperial court's rice had not yet been used, and the people were starving.

However, the military pay from the court has not been delivered yet. Even if we go to buy it now, we can only buy it at a high price, and it will be too late to go back and forth.

The little princess was very energetic. When Eleven was not around, she fiddled with the toys in the cradle and climbed out of the cradle.

It happened that Empress Duan returned at this time. She could not interfere in the affairs of the court, so she donated some of the silver and money she had, which could be regarded as relieving Emperor Shangwen's worries.

The imperial treasury was originally full, but someone deceived his superiors and embezzled the money. Now there is insufficient evidence. When there is enough evidence, Lu Zongyuan will be put in jail directly.

"Yu'er, have you eaten?"

Xiao Ruyu nodded obediently and stroked Queen Duan's brow with her fair and tender hands.

[Mother, Yu'er is drinking milk. Are you worried about the refugees? ]

Queen Duan nodded, and no longer hid what was in her heart. Only when facing her two children did she reveal her true feelings.

"Yes, most of the people in Shu are fleeing famine, but there are also many people in the capital. Now the epidemic is rampant, and I don't know how to solve the problem of lack of money."

She was the queen and had to do her job, but no matter how much she worried about the people, she could not do anything.

Xiao Ruyu secretly transferred spiritual power to Queen Duan. Seeing that Queen Duan looked tired, she must have not had a good rest. She knew that her mother was the best queen in the world.

She closed her eyes and chanted the spell silently.

“Good times will come after bad times, and the world will be reversed!”

The epidemic is rampant in the capital. If it is a normal epidemic, the transmission speed will not be so fast. Xiao Ruyu calculates with his fingers and figures out what is going on.

It seems that it is the person behind Concubine Li. Such a sinister and vicious person is really not worthy of being in public. Don't let her see that person, otherwise his cultivation will be destroyed.

[Mother, why don’t you go to the Buddha tonight and pray for blessings, so that you can feel at ease.]

Queen Duan nodded in approval. This was indeed a good idea. She nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Little Princess has really thought it through. Mother knows."

While the mother and daughter were talking, Nanny Cui walked in from outside the hall, glanced at the queen, and saluted respectfully.

"Greetings, Her Majesty." Nanny Cui replied.

"Madame Cui, is there something wrong with the Yangxin Palace?"

Madam Cui shook her head. "Not really. It was several ladies in the palace who wanted to see her."

Queen Duan was surprised. What were the concubines doing here at this time?

"Let them in."

Madam Cui bowed and saluted, "Yes, I understand."

When Nanny Cui left, Queen Duan glanced at the little Princess Ruyi beside her and gave instructions.

"Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some snacks and dishes."

Ruyi received the order and knelt down respectfully, "I understand."

After a while, Nanny Cui came back, followed by Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Wen. The palace maids beside them were all carrying bulging bags, and no one knew what was in them.

"Meet the Queen."

The concubines bowed, their faces full of respect.

"No need to be so polite, just stand up."

Several concubines stood up, walked to the side of the queen, and looked at the little princess with gentle eyes.

In just four months, the little princess has grown up a bit. Her eyes are watery and she looks very cute. Her round and fair cheeks are even more eye-catching.

"My queen, this is a token of our love. Please accept it and consider it as helping the refugees."

After saying that, everyone placed the gold, silver and jewelry they brought on the soft couch in Fengyi Palace. It was a golden scene. Some were rewards from Emperor Shangwen, but they were all extremely valuable jewelry and money.

Normally, few concubines were seen wearing it, so they must have kept it in the palace for enjoyment. I didn’t expect that they would be willing to take it out and donate it to the court.

Queen Duan sighed, feeling a little emotional. They were so thoughtful.

"You also need to take care of the palace and send all the money and jewelry here. What should you do?"

Queen Duan frowned and asked in some confusion. She didn't expect that several concubines would donate silver. She was very surprised.

"We are not short of food and clothing in the palace. Thank you for your concern. Although we are your majesty's concubines, we also want to do our best to show our kindness. Please accept it."
