The guards outside the palace were withdrawn, and the people in the palace regained their freedom. Jing Yuchen stood outside the gate, looking at the still sparsely populated street, and sighed.
Although it took many twists and turns, the prescription could finally be given to the people inside and outside the city, but many people were still killed or injured.
While he was lost in thought, Ni Yueshan walked slowly towards him.
"Now that you're free, why don't you get busy?"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan beside him and put his arm on her shoulders: "If I go out to do something, you have to take your medicine obediently, understand?"
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm being unreasonable. Why don't you just take your medicine? What are you thinking?"
Ni Yueshan's expression gradually grew serious: "Jing Yuchen, there's something...we must sort it out carefully."
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan with an expression that seemed to want to know more. Ni Yueshan asked, "Why did the Queen Mother press us to the ground and rub us this time?"
After being stunned, Jing Yuchen thought about it carefully.
"You deserve it?"
Ni Yueshan nodded vigorously: "Yes! If you hadn't chosen to refuse the throne for me, perhaps you would be the new emperor. If you were the new emperor, how could Miao Qinghua have anything to do with you?"
"Naturally, the mess that followed wouldn't happen, so we just got what we deserved."
"Then does this king need to reflect on himself and change this situation?"
Ni Yueshan nodded: "That's possible! You can try to take back your power. Everything has its gains and losses. The throne allows you to protect those around you, but it also makes you and me lose our world of two."
Ni Yueshan's expression gradually became sad and upset.
Jing Yuchen flicked his finger hard on Ni Yueshan's forehead: "You're getting more and more ridiculous. I'm going to get busy. You take good care of Gou Qiong and Lecheng."
Ni Yueshan nodded, and Jing Yuchen walked away.
Ni Yueshan wore a veil and went to the city gate in person, then climbed up the city wall.
After Lin Yushan learned about it, he quickly rushed over. Seeing Ni Yueshan, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess Regent."
"No need to be so polite. I came here to see what's going on outside the city."
Ni Yueshan looked down and saw that there were very few dead bodies lying on the ground outside the city gate, and he also didn't see any bodies of people who died of illness on the road.
"The Prime Minister is under the protection of General Zou, and troops outside the city are being mobilized to maintain order. Now that we have an effective prescription, the condition is gradually under control. I believe that this matter will be settled and put behind us soon."
"Commander Lin, I remember when I first visited your Lin Mansion, you didn't seem to have a wife?"
Lin Yushan didn't know why Ni Yueshan asked this question. Bewildered, he responded, "Not now, how..."
"Commander Lin is such a big man, why doesn't he think of finding one?"
Lin Yushan smiled awkwardly: "Princess, this kind of thing can't be rushed. It depends on fate."
He quickly changed the subject as if escaping: "I suddenly remembered that I have urgent matters to deal with, so I'll take my leave first!"
Having said that, he turned around hurriedly and left quickly.
Ni Yueshan crossed her arms over her chest. Is it necessary? Is she so scared? Does she regard women as monsters?
After Ni Yueshan got down from the city wall, he went to the prime minister's residence.
Ni Yueshan was wearing a veil as she walked along. She saw that the Prime Minister's Mansion was well guarded. All the servants were wearing veils and would stand aside when they saw people, trying to avoid contact as much as possible.
When they arrived at a room, a servant hurried in and reported: "Madam, the princess is here."
Guo stood up and went out to greet her: "Princess."
Ni Yueshan reached out to support Guo and said helplessly, "We are all family, there is no need to be polite. Mother, you are about to give birth, right?"
Guo stroked her bulging belly and nodded, "It will probably be just a few days. I was worried before that with the current situation in the capital, the child would suffer if he was born, but now, I am not so worried anymore."
As she spoke, she pulled Ni Yueshan over to take a closer look: "Although you are wearing a veil, I see that you seem to have lost a lot of weight."
Ni Yueshan said helplessly, "I was weak and caught a cold. I'm fine now, it's over. Mother, you must take good care of yourself during this period. I'll come to see you more often while Dad is not in the city."
"No, no, there are maids and servants in the mansion who will protect me very well, nothing will happen."
At the same time in the palace.
Someone reported to Miao Qinghua, "Empress Dowager, the Prince Regent has left the palace and begun to address the plague in and around the capital. Although he missed the best time to make a contribution, if he does a good job now, it will still be a merit."
Miao Qinghua was a little absent-minded sitting in her seat. She frowned slightly and asked, "Who do you think the Regent will entrust the child to?"
The guard who reported the incident looked stunned, obviously not knowing what Miao Qinghua was talking about.
Miao Qinghua thought for a while, then said, "Call Jin He."
Soon, Jing Jinhexing, wearing a veil, arrived. She bowed politely to Miao Qinghua and said, "Greetings, Queen Mother."
"Jin He, I asked you to capture the Regent and his wife who were out of town for a stroll. You were truly obedient and brought them back to the capital."
Jing Jinhe has not been summoned since she returned from her meritorious service. Why do the words he said to her at this moment sound a bit like a reproach?
But she was clearly doing everything she was told?
Jing Jinhe's beautiful face was filled with changing expressions. She quickly begged for mercy, "Queen Dowager, what crime did Jinhe commit? Was it because Jinhe took the people back to the capital that gave them the opportunity to solve the plague and gain merit?"
