Chapter 371 I Know She Is Sowing Dissension
Prince Jing is really incapable of accomplishing anything, and always causes trouble!
"Let's go and see what's going on."
In this side room, Qin Xuanlang's face turned red as he lay on the couch, sighing.
At first, Qin Xuanlang was hesitant.
He really hoped that this incident would cause something bad to happen to the prince.
Moreover, the Chu State had strong military forces and would not be completely defeated because of this incident. The most it could do was cede cities and pay some silver as compensation.
So he asked the two doctors who came with him to study the epidemic and control the condition temporarily.
As long as we hold on until the Xiliang people over there take action against the prince, that will be enough.
As a result, the speed at which the epidemic spread far exceeded his imagination.
The sound of people crying kept Qin Xuanlang awake at night.
He regretted it.
I should have passed the message back earlier.
The prince...something might happen to the prince in the future, but if the incident in Jiangnan gets out of hand this time.
He had messed up his job.
His father would also punish him.
Even what happens to the prince will be blamed on him!
Therefore, Qin Xuanlang immediately ordered people to send a letter back to the capital as quickly as possible to explain the epidemic.
At the same time, he was still feeling emotional:
Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess was right!
His royal brother is so lucky. How come he married a princess who is so lucky?
Qin Xuanlang anxiously waited for a reply from the capital, but the epidemic had already spread from the original three cities to five counties.
Seeing this, he wondered whether he should run away immediately.
As a result, at this time, he heard his subordinates coming to report that Lord Ouyang had already brought medicine and doctors.
Qin Xuanlang knew that he had made a big mistake, so he hardened his heart and infected himself with the plague!
Yes, he could only resort to a self-torture tactic.
Otherwise, since the important information was delayed this time, he would not be able to report to his father!
Moreover, Qin Xuanlang also believed that the medicine developed by the Crown Princess could definitely cure this epidemic!
However, when Ouyang Rui distributed the medicine, he gave priority to those under the age of twelve and those over the age of fifty with serious illnesses.
Qin Xuanlang is not among them.
So his men had to go and snatch it, and then alarmed Ouyang Rui.
Ouyang Rui arrived at Qin Xuanlang's temporary residence in the evening.
This time when he came to the south, he not only brought pills to treat the epidemic, but also took pills in advance to avoid infection.
This was also a match made by the Crown Princess and Doctor Wei.
Ouyang Rui looked at Qin Xuanlang lying on the bed and said, "Someone, come and check on His Highness to see if he is seriously ill."
Qin Xuanlang said weakly: "Lord Ouyang, did you receive my letter? You must have been sleeping in the open air and traveling quickly..."
Ouyang Rui: "I didn't receive any letter from His Highness. It was His Majesty who asked us to leave immediately."
"As for why your Highness's letter was not sent back, I have no idea."
The corners of Qin Xuanlang's mouth twitched.
This Ouyang Rui is indeed difficult to deal with.
An imperial physician came over to check Qin Xuanlang's pulse, and heard Ouyang Rui beside him say decisively:
"Come here, hold down those people who serve Prince Jing!"
Qin Xuanlang almost jumped up from the bed, "Ouyang Rui, what are you going to do?"
Ouyang Rui: "Your Highness, I have received news that there are spies from Xiliang around you."
"We must catch this guy as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless trouble!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered his men to arrest the man without further ado.
Qin Xuanlang was already ill, so his thinking was a little slow.
Now I suddenly realized it and my back was covered in cold sweat.
Yes, when he was hesitating, someone kept egging him on.
Said this was the best time to get rid of the prince...
So, was I being plotted against?
Ouyang Rui looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking.
Your Majesty will deal with Prince Jing's crimes when we return to the capital.
Now it is more important to catch the spies first.
Thanks to Ouyang Rui's timely arrival and the pills and doctors he brought, the epidemic situation was quickly brought under control.
By the time the second and third batches of medicine arrived, the epidemic in Jiangnan was completely under control.
Casualties were also reduced to a minimum.
At the same time, secret reports on the battle situation in southern Xinjiang were successfully delivered to Emperor Minghe's desk through the special method of Qianji Pavilion.
Emperor Longyan of the Ming Dynasty was delighted.
"Jing Yu is a great guy, worthy of being my son!"
God knows that Emperor Minghe has always wanted a perfect successor for so many years.
Otherwise, the third prince would not have been tested before.
Now I have finally got what I wanted.
"As expected, you are the child of my and Nanqing's blood."
When the others heard this, they all looked at Queen Jiang with sympathy.
After all, he was Queen Jiang’s biological son.
But Queen Jiang herself didn't care at all. She smiled and said:
"Not only is Jing Yu excellent, his Crown Princess is also excellent!"
Emperor Minghe nodded with a warm smile.
"When this matter is over, I will definitely reward them greatly."
Queen Jiang was very happy after hearing this.
How can I not be happy when my son and daughter-in-law have both made great contributions?
Seeing the emperor and empress who were both very happy, people didn't know what to say. Anyway, as long as they were happy, that was fine.
However, in private, the Queen Mother deliberately provoked their relationship and maliciously asked Queen Jiang:
"Your Majesty said that the prince looks like Empress Yuan, aren't you angry?"
The Queen Mother has been feeling very depressed lately.
Because Sun Fuhai and his men never came back, she didn't dare to trust the people sent by them.
Very frustrating.
I just wanted to cause trouble for the Emperor and Queen Jiang.
After hearing this, Queen Jiang blinked and looked at her.
The Queen Mother's lips curled slightly.
You must be angry, right?
Sharing the same man, anyone with a bit of common sense would not be completely indifferent.
Not to mention, Queen Jiang is now the queen, and her status is no lower than that of Queen Yuan.
The next moment, she heard Queen Jiang say:
"Jingyu looks like a sister, isn't that a good thing?"
"My sister is smarter than me and better than me in every aspect. I am even happier that Jingyu looks like her."
Queen Mother: “…”
Is this Queen Jiang a fool?
She couldn't help but say, "But His Majesty said in public that Jing Yu has his and Queen Yuan's blood..."
Queen Jiang: "That's fine. My sister and I are sisters from the same father. My sister is Jing Yu's aunt. We are related by blood."
The Queen Mother was so angry that her mouth twitched.
This Queen Jiang is such an idiot!
After paying her routine greetings to the Queen Mother, Queen Jiang returned to Kunning Palace.
Qi Yi, the trusted maidservant, said:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was just trying to sow discord on purpose, hoping that you and His Majesty would be angry."
Queen Jiang smiled and said, "I know, but I'm really not angry."
"The Queen Mother has no idea how good my sister is."
Her voice slowly became lower.
Does my sister’s death have anything to do with the Queen Mother?
The Ministry of Punishment used all kinds of torture but failed to pry open Sun Fuhai's mouth.
This incident also made Emperor Minghe and Queen Jiang feel a little resentful during this period.
The more Sun Fuhai did this, the more it proved it.
Perhaps the Queen Mother really did something back then!
Queen Jiang shook her head.
"Okay, forget about all these things. Take the children's clothes I sewed for them and go to the East Palace."
It is September now and the weather is nice and cool.
The hottest time has passed, and even though Lin Qingning's belly is now big, it is not too uncomfortable.
In another three months, that is, at the end of the year, the baby will be born.
I don’t know whether the prince will come back.
The prince won a great victory in Southern Xinjiang, and all the royal family members in Southern Xinjiang were arrested and escorted back to Da Chu.
It will also take some time to take over the major cities in southern Xinjiang.
Emperor Minghe also sent some civil officials over.
But the prince cannot come back until southern Xinjiang is completely settled.
He has to sit there.
Although Lin Qingning missed Qin Jingyu very much, she only reported good news and not bad news in the letters she sent home.
They talked about daily things and how much Xiao Xiyao had grown.
Although he didn't mention missing her at all, Qin Jingyu's reply was also full of missing her.
When Queen Jiang came, Lin Qingning was writing a letter to Qin Jingyu.
Upon hearing the palace maid's report, she immediately put down her brush and came out nervously.
"Mother, why are you here? If there is anything, just let the palace servants inform her."
Queen Jiang: "I missed Yaoyao, so I came to see her. And your father gave me an errand, so I have to ask you."
Lin Qingning immediately asked someone to bring Yaoyao over.
She asked curiously, "What is it?"
Queen Jiang: "Ouyang Rui and his men have completely quelled the flood and epidemic in Jiangnan, and will be returning to the capital soon."
"Your Majesty means that this time, you should be rewarded first, and Doctor Wei should also be rewarded."
Seeing that Wei Shuhe was rewarded, Lin Qingning was really happy for her.
Queen Jiang tried to probe: "I heard that the father of Doctor Wei's child is a criminal. We can take this opportunity to ask for a pardon for him."
What happened to the Su family back then did make Emperor Minghe very angry.
After all, the Su family had great appeal among scholars, and when they had caused trouble together, it gave Emperor Minghe a headache.
It is said that not long after being exiled, Old Tutor Su passed away, and the rest of the Su family suffered terribly.
Lin Qingning: "I don't know what Shu He thinks about this matter. I will ask her opinion as soon as possible."
Queen Jiang nodded.
Seeing the gloom between her brows, Lin Qingning took the initiative to ask: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Queen Jiang never hid anything from Lin Qingning. She sighed.
"I originally suspected that my sister's death was related to the Queen Mother, so I sent Sun Fuhai and others to the Ministry of Punishment on the pretext of something."
"But no matter what kind of punishment was used, Sun Fuhai confessed a few trivial things, but he refused to admit anything about his sister."
"Your Majesty has also sent people to track down the Qingyun Master, but the whole person seems to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and there is no clue at all."
I have to say that Sun Fuhai is truly loyal to the Queen Mother.
When Lin Qingning listened to Queen Jiang's words, she suddenly remembered the pills that Wei Shuhe had brought from the Medicine Valley.
Previously, Doctor Bai made a mistake in prescribing the medicine, and there were only three pills in total, but they had all been used up.
Otherwise, write to Dr. Bai and ask him if he has misprescribed this medicine?
