Let him write down the prescription?
Zou Yangyao looked at the city wall and decided to give it a try.
In the palace, someone informed Miao Qinghua about what happened outside the city.
Miao Qinghua was slightly surprised. "Did the Regent's men do this? Wasn't the Regent's Palace completely surrounded? How could it still be in contact with the outside world? What's the meaning of scattering white paper?"
"Queen Dowager, it was the Prime Minister who did this. When the Regent left the capital, the Prime Minister had been assisting in the administration of the country. Although the Regent has returned, he has not reclaimed the Prime Minister's powers. Now the Prime Minister has done this without informing anyone. Queen Dowager, do you think it's time to revoke his power..."
Miao Qinghua's expression grew serious. "If he really collected the prescriptions, remember to check them one by one. Who knows, this might be some trick of theirs!"
Although Jing Yuchen voluntarily isolated himself, she didn't believe that Jing Yuchen would really care about the people and would definitely do something.
But she wanted to take credit for Jing Yuchen's achievements.
Zou Yangyao, who had been away for a day and a night, only brought back a piece of white paper. Xiao Chuer looked at him in surprise.
Zou Yangyao shrugged helplessly: "Refugees are preventing me from entering the city. I can't get through the city gate. The white paper seems to be a hint of something!"
"It's just a blank piece of paper. If I write down the prescription and submit it along with the others, how can I let the Regent recognize it without being noticed by others?"
Xiao Chuer shook her head and fell into deep thought.
"What do you think of the name Yi Wenxuan?"
Xiao Chuer looked at Zou Yangyao in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Zou Yangyao's smile deepened: "If you want to stand out among so many prescriptions, you have to have something special."
Before Xiao Chu'er understood, Zou Yangyao asked again, "How many fonts do you know?"
Xiao Chu'er was still confused, but she still responded honestly: "Not many, two or three."
"The correct prescription tells me that I need to go out on an errand. You should stay at the inn by yourself. Be careful and safe."
Xiao Chuer looked at Zou Yangyao and seemed to understand what he meant.
By evening, prescriptions had been fished out again and again from the baskets thrown down from the city wall. A pile of white papers was covered with black words, some of which were indeed prescriptions, while others were insults and even mixed with filth.
All of these were screened by humans before being sent to Miao Qinghua.
Miao Qinghua frowned. "With so many, how can I look at them? Don't you know how to read? Don't you know how to sort them out?"
While she was still furious, a palace maid came over and said, "Empress Dowager, the Prime Minister requests an audience."
Miao Qinghua was unhappy, but finally let someone in.
Ni Gaofei stepped forward and said, "Meet the Queen Mother."
"Prime Minister, what brings you here at this time? The Regent has personally ordered that ministers are not allowed to wander freely. If you come to see me, if I contract any illness as a result, will I be punished?"
Ni Gaofei was not afraid and spoke directly: "This humble official has come up with a plan to collect prescriptions. I think there should be some results. I came here to review them one by one with the imperial doctors and find a good prescription."
"When did the Prime Minister learn about medicine?" Miao Qinghua looked at Ni Gaofei with burning eyes.
Ni Gaofei, wearing court robes and a gray beard, stood below, his expression filled with worry. "Although I don't understand pharmacology, I always feel that I am failing the people if I don't do something."
"Your Majesty, I can sort out the papers that are not prescriptions and then hand them over to the imperial physicians for review. I beg Your Majesty's permission. This plague cannot be delayed!"
Miao Qinghua snorted, "I'll let others handle it. It's a waste of talent for a Prime Minister to do this. If you really want to contribute, why not leave the city?"
"Outside the city, there are too many people who need you to appease them."
Ni Gaofei looked at Miao Qinghua in surprise. Going out of the city now would be like seeking death.
Ni Gaofei didn't agree immediately, so Miao Qinghua stood up and asked, "Why, Prime Minister, are you feeling embarrassed?"
"I was thinking, when we go outside the city, the gates are wide open, won't refugees pour in?"
Miao Qinghua burst into laughter. "How could it be, Prime Minister? Did you hear that someone tried to break into the city at night using a rope?"
"Prime Minister, you can follow suit and throw a rope down to the city. You can go down along the rope. I believe that my people will love you, obey your command, and cooperate with the quarantine. By then, your contribution will be unparalleled!"
Miao Qinghua kept her eyes on him, obviously waiting for his consent, otherwise, she would definitely convict Ni Gaofei today.
"Queen Dowager, since you trust me, I am willing to give it a try. However, if the soldiers outside the city do not obey my orders, I alone will be unable to move forward and will be unable to do anything."
"Since you are willing to leave the city for the people, how could I not give you soldiers? Prime Minister, do you agree?"
"It is an honor for an old minister to be able to contribute to Xian Chang, and I am naturally willing to do so."
"Okay, Aijia, I'll arrange for you to leave the city right away!"
