After the palace banquet, Jiang Li went to Yongning Palace to pay his respects.
As soon as she arrived outside the palace gate, she saw Princess Jingyi walk up to her and kneel down to pay her respects.
"Aunt Huang, it's Jingyi's fault."
"Jingyi knows she was wrong. She really knows she was wrong."
Jiang Li saw the woman in front of him crying and looked around. No... what was going on?
In the end, it was Aunt Gui who rushed over from the Buddhist temple and told Jiang Li what had happened before.
Tsk tsk.
Jiang Li sighed secretly. The Queen Mother's interpretation was truly amazing. She had unintentionally become Jingyi's benefactor.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Just talking about today’s incident, Jiang Li simply wanted to make some money for free from the Third Prince of Wei State, because he was so despicable.
"Okay, get up," Jiang Li accepted the apology without any guilt. "After you marry into Wei Country, you'll be all alone. If you get into trouble again, no one will help you."
Jingyi curled her lips and tears of sadness flowed out.
She already knew she was wrong, so why did the imperial aunt still poke her in the heart like this... wuwuwuwu...
Seeing that the person was crying more and more sadly, Jiang Li said again: "The Queen Mother is right. You represent Daning. As long as you don't seek death in Wei Kingdom, I think no one will dare to bully you."
"If you're really being bullied, be smart. If you can do it, do it. If you can't... find a way to do it. Remember, don't be a coward. People only bully those who are easy to bully."
What Jiang Li didn't know was that because of these few words of hers, Jingyi quickly gained a foothold in the royal family of Wei State. Even the usually difficult Queen of Wei State didn't dare to attack her easily, and the King of Wei became even more afraid of Daning from then on.
…
A few days after Princess Jingyi got married, Jiang Li received a letter from Qinzhou.
It was sent by Mei Qiuyi.
In addition, there were also five hundred taels of silver notes.
"I didn't expect that Miss Lao Yi is so trustworthy."
Ever since Bai Lianhua Mei Qiuyi got the nickname "Lao Yi", Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt less disgusted with her.
"Xiaoxiao, is it possible that 'old aunt' and 'girl' can't be said together? Old aunt and girl always feel a little scary."
Jiang Li read the contents of the letter at a glance.
I thought that Mei Qiuyi would have to suffer some hardships when she went back this time. After all, she had been away from home for some time, and her stepmother and half-sister were not good people either. If they took over the power of the family while she was away from home, Mei Qiuyi would not have a good life.
Unexpectedly, Mei Qiuyi said that when she returned, her stepmother and half-sister were both ill, and everyone in the mansion was waiting for her to go back and take control of the situation.
At the end of the letter, Mei Qiuyi also reminded Jiang Li to take more care of her health. She heard that many people in Qinzhou have been sick recently, and most of them are wives and daughters of wealthy families. She didn't know if it was because the previous snowstorm was too severe that they were frozen like this.
"That's not right." Jiang Li's heart suddenly flashed with panic. After taking a closer look, he said, "Mo Qi, quickly ask Mo Yun Pavilion to contact the brothers in Qinzhou to find out what's going on."
A month had already passed since the snowstorm ended. How could people get frostbite at this time? And on such a large scale?
This doesn't seem like an ordinary illness, it's more like...
When the word "epidemic" appeared in Jiang Li's mind, Jiang Li's hand trembled and the letter paper in his hand fell to the ground.
A few days ago, when she was reading a medical book, she learned that there had been an epidemic in the previous dynasty, which directly caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people. If the emperor of the previous dynasty had not finally chosen to seal off the city, the country would have faced a disaster of destruction.
However, the result of sealing off the city was that the entire population of the city was burned to death.
"Princess, please don't worry." Bai Zhi quickly handed over a cup of hot tea. "The prince and Mo Jiu returned from Qinzhou without any problems. Even Lao Yi is safe and sound. Maybe those people are really like Lao Yi said, because they are in poor health..."
Yes, Your Majesty.
Jiang Li stood up immediately.
Gu Qingchen had previously led a disaster relief team, and within a month, all the victims in Qinzhou were resettled. This was also the fastest disaster relief in Daning's history. At the first morning court after the beginning of the year, the emperor praised Gu Qingchen highly.
If you say...
If an epidemic breaks out at this time, wouldn’t that be... a slap in the emperor’s face?
If someone with ulterior motives seizes on this matter, they can even accuse Gu Qingchen of dereliction of duty.
After all, there will always be a major epidemic after a major disaster. If we investigate further, we will only say that Gu Qingchen was too eager for quick success and did not do a good job of finishing the matter.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li hurriedly asked Bai Zhi to change her into palace clothes. She wanted to inform the emperor about this matter in advance before the matter became a big deal.
Imperial study.
After hearing what Jiang Li said, the emperor and Gu Qingchen looked at each other with a look of surprise.
"These are just my speculations. We can only confirm the details after Mo Qi comes back after completing his investigation." Jiang Li added.
The Emperor tapped the table lightly, frowning and saying, "If this is indeed an epidemic, does Princess think it's related to the snowstorm?"
Jiang Li shook her head. "I just carefully read Miss Mei's letter. According to what she wrote, most of the seriously ill people are ladies from wealthy families. I think this seems to be man-made."
"Every early spring, wealthy families would hold gatherings, especially in Qinzhou. The snowstorm had just passed, and these people would definitely get together to shake off the gloom of the previous year."
"If we fight at the gathering, then..."
When you think about it this way, it seems that this does make sense.
The emperor looked at Gu Qingchen deeply and said, "If that's really the case, Qingchen, I think you need to go to Qinzhou again."
After all, this concerns the safety of the people. If someone really did it on purpose, arresting that person is the top priority.
