Nangong Jin realized belatedly that he actually missed that woman who talked nonsense all the time.
This damn woman.
Unlike the endless yellow sand at the border, the blue sky in the palace was the only scenery Li Tangyi could see.
She could feel the breath of freedom surging around her at every moment, but she could not grasp or touch it.
The reason was simple: the queen's illness kept recurring, leaving her with no excuse to escape.
Fortunately, there is An Yi who can convey information.
In a secluded corridor, An Yi was bowing and reporting.
“Master, those glass bottles are of great use, and the drug refining process has been accelerated.
The notices posted by Huichuntang also taught the people how to isolate themselves, and the plague has been effectively controlled.
Especially Huichuntang, which can now be compared with Tianchen Medical Clinic."
Li Tangyi nodded after thinking about it. Although the plague was under control, the hidden dangers were not eliminated.
"Is there any trouble at Tianchen Clinic?"
An Yi shook his head, “According to your instructions, some antibiotics are ‘deliberately’ lost every day.
It was indeed the old doctor who handed over the case to the people from Tianchen Clinic who were disguised as patients. They believed the rumors and took the initiative to solve the problem of the refugee shed outside the city."
Li Tangyi breathed a sigh of relief. The plague was now truly under control.
"But Master..."
Li Tangyi was about to let An Yi
I stepped back, but heard his worried words.
"The eldest prince is trying his best to win over the court officials and the people. He may want to make a big fuss about the treatment of this plague."
Li Tangyi pursed her lips and thought, then finally nodded slightly.
"I understand. You can go down."
What Nangong Yue wanted was just to claim credit for something, but how could one do a job without the necessary skills?
Sooner or later, the truth will be revealed.
You will never achieve great things.
The plague outside the palace has been brought under control. It’s time to bring this good news into the palace.
After An Yi left, Li Tang took the Queen's pulse as usual. Just as he was about to speak, a eunuch outside the door announced that the Emperor had arrived.
However, the plague was contagious, so every time the emperor visited, he would just sit in the main hall for a while and ask about Queen Li Tangyi's condition, and this time was no exception.
Li Tangyi explained the Queen's condition in detail, and sure enough, Nangong Yan's brows furrowed even more.
"It hasn't gotten better after all this time?"
Li Tangyi lowered her head and looked submissive, reducing her presence.
"The Queen Mother is in poor health. She should be rested for some time."
Nangong Yan looked worried and didn't say anything for a long time until Nangong Yue's sudden arrival broke the deadlock.
"Yue'er is here. The results of this plague control are good. I was just about to summon you. But now you have come by yourself."
Nangong Yue showed a happy expression, "I came to visit my mother, but I didn't expect my father to be here too."
After that, he knelt down solemnly and reported as a subject.
Plague control situation.
"Father! The plague in the city has been completely brought under control, and half of the infected people have recovered. Right now, the people in the city are cheering, praising you for your hard work and efforts!"
His joyful voice successfully made Nangong Yan happy.
"I have seen many memorials praising you these days, which shows that you have put a lot of effort into it."
Nangong Yue was overjoyed, but he pursed his lips modestly and said nothing. Occasionally, he glanced at Li Tangyi, his eyes full of provocation.
But Li Tangyi didn't even raise her head the whole time, as if she was unaware that her credit had been taken away and her medicine had been stolen.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has been unable to sleep these days, and has lost his appetite. He has been worried about the plague every moment. Fortunately, it has been quite effective in the end. The people are grateful for Your Highness's hard work and have written a special letter to the people."
The attendant behind Nangong Yue took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch beside the emperor.
Nangong Yue frowned slightly and rebuked in a low voice, "These are all trivial matters, there is no need to bring them up."
Li Tangyi's eyes almost rolled up to the sky. Could this play be any more fake?
You're just short of throwing the Book of All Peoples in the emperor's face!
Nangong Yan laughed out loud, unable to conceal his joy.
Anyone who can handle this difficult plague in this way should be heavily rewarded!
"Well done! Deal with the final issues of the plague as soon as possible, and we will reward you then!"
The two were in high spirits, not paying any attention to Li Tangyi in the corner.
They went to the South Study one after another to discuss matters.
Li Tangyi stood up and patted the wrinkles on her clothes, then continued to check the Queen's pulse as if nothing had happened.
"My mother's condition is a little strange. I said before that it didn't look like the plague, but now it is confirmed. My mother must disinfect on time these days and take medicine. There must be a fixed number of people serving her to avoid infection."
The queen heard the conversation between the emperor and his ministers clearly in the inner room. She thought that Li Tangyi was just upset and didn't take it to heart at all. She said a few words to her and then sent her away.
Before leaving, Li Tangyi deliberately passed by the incense burner and smeared an imperceptible amount of white powder on the mouth of the burner.
Outside the palace, in Huichun Hall, Lingdang Baicai and others gathered around a table with delicious dishes on it, waiting for An Yi to come back from the palace to meet the princess, and preparing to celebrate.
Today is the quietest time in Huichun Hall in recent days, which also shows that the number of people infected with the plague has dropped sharply and is under control.
The princess has made an indelible contribution, and they are all proud of it.
But instead of the good news, he received some cold sarcasm from the owner of Tianchen Clinic.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid your preparations are in vain. The emperor's reward will only end up in the hands of our Tianchen Clinic!"
Yunlin didn't want to talk to him any more and just closed the door.
"What's the use of trying so hard? In the end, aren't you just a stepping stone for others?"
The words of the shopkeeper of Tianchen Clinic were not clear through the door.
They looked at each other, all having a bad feeling.
After waiting for a long time, An Yi finally came back, and his expression became even more solemn.
After telling them the news that the credit had been misappropriated, Bai Cai was the first one to lose his temper.
"How could they do this? The princess worked hard day and night, but in the end they were able to take advantage of her! What does the princess say?"
An Yi shook his head. Although he didn't understand Li Tangyi's actions, he still told her her instructions truthfully.
"The princess said that we should let the children from the dilapidated temple in the west of the city help spread the word and prove that the eldest prince is curing illnesses and saving lives. And that old doctor can also be eliminated at the same time."
Everyone was puzzled.
However, they all chose to believe Li Tangyi, temporarily suppressing their anger and doing as she said.
With the beggar's transfer, Nangong Yue's reputation soared, and he frequently went in and out of the Nan Study.
Thousands of miles away at the border, Nangong Jin, who should have known nothing about this matter, frowned, rubbed the ring on his hand, and looked thoughtful.
"My eldest brother is so eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he is falsely claiming credit for the plague. I'm afraid he will end up shooting himself in the foot."
He usually underestimated the princess. She actually had such thoughts in mind.
Mu Feng, who was serving on the side:?
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the eldest prince stole the credit for the princess's work?"
Mu Feng put down the military map and responded to Nangong Jin's sudden words.
But he tilted his head in confusion, "But how did you know that, Your Majesty?"
