Hearing this, Li Yi and Lan Yin also hurried over, their mouths full of joy: "That's great, everything will be fine after Mr. Nangong comes."
Everyone laughed, except Xu Miaomiao, who lowered her eyes. Not to mention who Nangong Jin supported, even if Song Wushao left here without permission, it would not be an easy thing. If Nangong Jin knew about it, it would inevitably be detrimental to Song Wushao. Xu Miaomiao pinched her fingertips in confusion, with a hint of sadness on her brow.
"Madam, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
Xiao Si saluted, holding a token in his hand and spoke to Xu Miaomiao. Staring at the color and familiar texture of the token, Xu Miaomiao was silent for a moment.
Li Yi next to him looked at him and said, "It's Mr. Nangong. He sensed it so quickly. I guess he has been nearby all the time."
Dabao also stepped forward and looked at the stunned Xu Miaomiao and spoke first: "What's wrong, mother?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "Mr. Nangong has taught you two very carefully and put a lot of effort into it. Of course I have to go and take a look."
He stood up, took the token handed to him by Xiao Si, and then Xu Miaomiao followed Xiao Si out.
Arriving at the hall, a man in a blue robe was sitting upright, holding the cup on the table but not putting it down yet. When he saw Xu Miaomiao, he immediately stood up and said, "Madam Xu, long time no see."
Xu Miaomiao also bowed and sat down not far from the man, with the worry between her brows undiminished, and she said, "Mr. Nangong, you must have known the situation in Bai County when you came here this time."
Nangong Jinjin nodded: "It is indeed true. Feng Feng came here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to transport supplies and treat the people. As for why he did this, I don't understand."
"I'm not curious about the grudge between you two." Xu Miaomiao interrupted Nangong Jin and just stared at him and said, "It's just that the plague this time is too strange. Has Mr. Nangong ever investigated it?"
Nangong Jin pursed his lips and did not continue speaking. After a long while, he slowly uttered a few words: "This place is under the jurisdiction of the prince."
Xu Miaomiao also understood Nangong Jin's meaning. It was inconvenient for him to get involved too much in this matter. This time he came here, he would definitely raise a grudge against the Crown Prince. However, these were not issues that Xu Miaomiao should care about. Xu Miaomiao only said, "Mr. Nangong, I have found a cure for this illness."
"really?"
Nangong Jin was a little surprised and sat up directly. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and immediately spoke with a little joy in his tone: "There is an antidote, which is a good thing. Madam Xu, just tell me and I will get it for you."
"Fish grass." Xu Miaomiao slowly uttered these two words, stood up and circled back and forth in the room: "This fish grass is a kind of herb that grows on the back of fish. Let's not talk about how to get it. Bai County is so far away from the water town. Even if there is an antidote, it will be too late when it arrives. If you are stupid, you won't be able to survive until then."
"Madam Xu, I can only wait for a few days at most."
Nangong Jin stared at her and spoke immediately.
Xu Miaomiao stretched out her fingertips and gestured a number three: "Three days at most."
She had previously studied the ingredients of those antidotes. Although they could not cure the person's illness, they could at least delay it and keep the person's life temporarily safe. Unfortunately, the illness was too severe, so she had to get the antidote as soon as possible.
"Madam Xu, just prescribe the medicine, and I'll take care of the stuff in here."
Nangong Jin bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Let’s not talk about why the prince wanted to join forces with Yu Huaijin, and why he gave his own body this kind of medicine, and even did not hesitate to let the Bai County massacre. Even Nangong Jin’s return this time is a bit strange.
Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but worry about Song Wushao. She didn't know how he was doing now after being away for so long.
The night was particularly desolate. Although it was New Year's Day, Bai County seemed like a dead city without any trace of life.
All the lamps were lit, and only then could there be a few cool lights.
Xu Miaomiao sighed and leaned against the window. It was not right to sleep, nor was it right to stay asleep. In short, she felt very uneasy.
The air was filled with the faint scent of soapberry and a hint of wood. Xu Miaomiao thought she had smelled it wrong, but when she turned around, she saw a familiar face. Song Wushao stepped over the threshold and smiled at Xu Miaomiao: "I'm back."
Xu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, her empty eyes were in a daze, and when she came to her senses, she had already fallen into a warm embrace: "Why aren't you talking."
Suppressing the friendship in her heart, Xu Miaomiao pushed Song Wushao away, stared at him and said solemnly: "Nangong Jin is here."
"Um."
"I found the antidote."
"Um."
"Nangong Jin said he would solve it."
Three sentences, two of which mentioned other men. Song Wushao's brows relaxed a little, and he hugged Xu Miaomiao tightly: "The Nangong family has been loyal for generations and has been loyal to the wise monarch. This time, the prince and Liang country joined hands in order to clear out the people in Bai County, so that he can do what he wants in Bai County better."
"What's going on? Isn't Bai County already under the jurisdiction of the prince? Why do you have to use such methods?" Xu Miaomiao popped her head out from Song Wushao's arms and stared at him.
Song Wu Shao smiled and said, "Now the Fifth Prince is his biggest threat, and the current emperor's health is also not good. He wants to leave a way out for himself. Bai County is mountainous and convenient for hiding. He wants to build his own private army."
"This is treason." Xu Miaomiao opened her eyes wide in shock, unable to believe it.
"Of course, otherwise why do you think he created this plague and sent Feng Feng to deal with it personally? It was to get rid of all the people here."
"But won't he be blamed?" Xu Miaomiao was still a little confused.
Song Wu Shao took her hand and sat down beside her, staring at her seriously and said, "It's nothing more than not taking good care of this place, so I scolded him. Besides, this is a natural disaster, and the people here are all his people, so no one will investigate or punish them. Compared to having his own army, the latter is naturally more important."
"So they have already made this move, and Prince Wu deliberately placed you in Bai County just for this day?"
Xu Miaomiao spoke immediately. This time she finally understood something that she had not quite understood before.
Song Wushao nodded slightly: "Why else do you think Nangong Jin came so quickly?"
"But isn't the Nangong family a member of the prince's party?"
Song Wushao smiled and took Xu Miaomiao's hand: "It is clear who is the wise ruler of the Nangong family. The dynasty can be overthrown, but the family will not disappear."
