Gu Qingchen had no time to refuse.
Jiang Li had made her decision, and she also used her capacity as the Supervisor of the Imperial Hospital to convince the Emperor that her trip was necessary.
"Princess, I want to go with you too!"
After returning home, Jiang Li asked Bai Zhi to pack up and prepare to leave overnight.
The impact of this incident is too great, so we can only go there quietly to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
"You stay in the mansion to help me look after the house. This time, let Xiaoxiao come with me."
Bai Zhi's injuries had just healed and she was weak. Not to mention whether she could withstand the journey day and night, if it was really an epidemic when she arrived in Qinzhou, she would be in even greater danger.
"thump--"
Bai Zhi knelt on the ground and said, "Princess, I am yours in life and yours in death. Please take me with you."
Jiang Li pressed her eyebrows helplessly, and suddenly understood why Gu Qingchen was sulking.
"Princess... If you don't take me with you, I will be worried about you at home. I won't be able to eat or sleep well. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on until Princess returns."
Well, it turns out to be her maid. Her stubbornness is just like hers.
"Okay, get up quickly and I'll take you there."
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, Bai Zhi immediately stood up and packed her things. As for the tears on her face, they had long disappeared.
That night, a carriage disappeared from the back door of the palace. Everyone only knew that Princess Jingling was not feeling well and was not seeing guests.
"Luckily, we ran away in the middle of the night this time. Otherwise, I'd be really worried that my brothers would follow us again."
With the previous experience of Jiang Zhong as a lesson, Jiang Li had already left a letter for her grandfather this time, asking him to wait a few days before telling her parents.
By then, Jiang Li would have already arrived in Qinzhou.
Gu Qingchen looked indifferent and said nothing.
"Okay, why are you still sulking?"
Jiang Li moved and moved next to Gu Qingchen.
"Someone has to go," Jiang Li held Gu Qingchen's hand and leaned her head against him. "If we let another doctor go, what if he doesn't find anything? That would be a big mistake, wouldn't it?"
Gu Qingchen sighed and held Jiang Li's hand, "You are right, but..."
"Your Highness, have you ever heard the saying, 'We sleep together in life and die together.'" Jiang Li looked at Gu Qingchen, "If something unexpected really happens, it would be worth it to be with you."
Gu Qingchen: ...
"Okay, I'm just scaring you." Jiang Li poked Gu Qingchen's face. "Even if it's an epidemic, you don't have to be afraid as long as I'm here. You have to believe me. You've found a treasure by meeting me."
Outside the carriage, Mo Xiaoxiao listened to the conversation inside and looked at Bai Zhi and Mo Qi beside her.
My scalp was slightly numb. "Prince and Princess, are they always so...sweet?"
Baizhi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Mo Qi rolled his eyes at her and said, "This is just the beginning. Just get used to it."
This time Mo Jiu was accompanying them. Mo Qi and Mo Jiu took turns driving the carriage all the way. In a few days, they arrived in Qinzhou City.
"Your Highness, Qinzhou is just ahead. Should we go directly to the government office, or..."
When they were almost at the city gate, Mo Qi asked.
Soon, a voice was heard from inside, "Go to the inn."
If something really happened in Qinzhou, but the government office did not report it, either there was a problem in the government office, or they simply did not realize the importance of the matter.
If we go there in such a brazen manner, we will either alert the enemy or cause panic.
Therefore, it is better to hide your identity and check.
When the carriage arrived at the inn, Jiang Li and Gu Qingchen had already taken the disguise pills, and even Mo Jiu had changed his appearance in advance.
After all, Gu Qingchen had come here before to provide disaster relief, and he was worried about being recognized by the people and causing unnecessary trouble.
"Waiter, bring three upper rooms."
After entering the inn, Mo Qi and Bai Zhi went to arrange accommodation. Jiang Li took this opportunity to look at the people who were having dinner on the first floor of the inn.
Most of the people here are ordinary people, and no one has fallen ill yet.
Jiang Li thought secretly that the person who did it must be more cautious. If it broke out overnight, some clues would inevitably be found. On the contrary, only by infiltrating slowly like this could it be done without anyone noticing.
"Your Highness, take this." Jiang Li handed the detoxification pills that he had prepared in advance to Gu Qingchen. He was going to find the owner of Qinzhou Tongtai Bank, who was also a member of Moyun Pavilion.
"Baizhi and Xiaoxiao, accompany me to the Mei Mansion."
She wanted to go see Mei Qiuyi and ask her about the situation in person.
“Bang, bang—”
After knocking on the door for a long time, a man who looked like a housekeeper finally came out.
"I wonder what important matter has brought this... Madam to the Mei Mansion?" The butler looked at the woman in front of him. She looked rather ordinary and had her hair in a bun. If it weren't for the two maids behind her who looked like they came from a wealthy family, the butler really wouldn't have taken the woman in front of him seriously.
"Is your eldest daughter at home?"
The butler looked at the person in front of him a few more times. He seemed not to remember that there was such a lady in Qinzhou City who knew the young lady.
"The young lady is at home, may I know who you are, Madam?"
"Just tell her I'm here to see Lao Yi, and she'll know."
Ignoring the butler's confusion, Mo Xiaoxiao glared at the butler, scaring him so much that he took two steps back. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the backyard to report.
"Miss, she said she was here to look for her aunt, but where is her aunt in our house?"
The housekeeper spread his hands helplessly.
"Bang—"
Mei Qiuyi dropped the teacup in her hand and quickly stood up. "What did you say? Who are you looking for? Lao Yi?!"
When she heard the name, Mei Qiuyi immediately guessed that someone had come from the capital.
Didn’t she return all the money? Why did she come to his house again?
Without waiting for the butler to say anything more, Mei Qiuyi stood up and rushed out.
The moment she saw Mo Xiaoxiao, Mei Qiuyi was shocked. Wasn't she... someone close to Princess Jingling?
How did you get here?
He looked at the woman beside her again. This wasn't the princess either, so this was...
The next moment, Jiang Li's voice rang out, "Why, you can't recognize me?"
Mei Qiuyi: ...This voice?!
He glanced around and quickly invited the person into the house.
"Princess, why are you here? And...dressed like this?"
After the door of the mansion was closed, Mei Qiuyi prepared to kneel down and salute.
Although it is a bit against the rules, Princess Jingling deliberately dressed like this, definitely to avoid everyone.
Jiang Li raised her hand to support the man, "No need to be polite, let's go in and talk first, I have something to ask you."
Seeing the princess' serious tone, Mei Qiuyi also realized that something important must have happened.
"Quick, serve tea to the distinguished guest."
After giving the order, Mei Qiuyi sat down and looked at Jiang Li and said, "Princess, you came to Qinzhou in person, but what's the important matter?"
Jiang Li glanced at her, and after the servants brought the tea and fruits, he signaled Mei Qiuyi to send everyone away.
Then he said, "You said in your letter that all the ladies and daughters of the wealthy families in Qinzhou have fallen seriously ill. What's going on?"
Mei Qiuyi's heart tightened when she heard this. "I... I don't know either. I just wanted the princess to take care of herself, so I wrote this down. Is... is there something wrong?"
