"Your meaning is, the antibiotics and antiseptic medicine that the Noble son Luo sent over all came from the hands of Princess Chen?" Jin Kuan’s face was covered with disbelief.
Yuwen Yanhe smiled and said, "Those medicines have only appeared in the past few years, and it is said that Princess Chen has a deep relationship with the Duke of Anguo’s family."
The implication was that if the Luo family really had such good medicine, it would have been in the world long ago.
"Your point makes sense." Jin Kuan nodded, "Old Wang and the others were also lucky today, just happened to meet Princess Chen, otherwise, it would have definitely been a lot of trouble to get them out. Also, Madam Shao is a heroine among women."
Yuwen Yanhe didn’t speak. Although stationed in different border defenses, he had heard of the great name of Shao Mingyi. Unfortunately, he had never had the opportunity to meet her, and in order not to arouse the Emperor’s suspicion, it was not appropriate for him and Shao Mingyi to be in contact.
Back in the carriage of the mansion.
Watching Chu Dieyi come up with ways to tease Xiao Guai, Yang Mengchen asked, "How come you are here?"
"I just came back from outside the Capital." After trying to play with the three ferocious beasts for a long time without any response from them, Chu Dieyi felt somewhat discouraged, so she gave up and took the handkerchief Yang Mengchen passed to her, wiping her hands, "I didn’t expect to encounter such treatment to the veterans, and I stood up because I was angry. Ah Meng, I didn’t cause you any trouble, did I?"
"It’s nothing." Yang Mengchen smiled and shook her head, knowing that Ah Lan had gone to check on the progress of the construction of the training field on the outskirts of the city.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Dieyi said, "Ah Meng, the conditions at the border are very tough. Every year, Grand Prince personally funds to support the soldiers and their families. If possible, please find a way to help those soldiers and their families."
Ah Meng was capable in business and favored by Prince Chen, so she believed she must be able to improve the living conditions for the soldiers at the border.
"I will find a way to resolve it," Yang Mengchen said, her brows slightly furrowed. Filling the national treasury wasn’t something that could be done overnight; for now, the problem with the veterans needed to be dealt with first.
Yang Chengning, who had already returned to the Prince Mansion, quickly greeted his sister and the others as they returned. He had heard about the incident in the street and looked at his sister with both worry and pride; worry that his sister would be impeached for meddling in the government, pride for his sister’s lofty sentiments.
Yang Mengchen smiled and shook her head at Yang Chengning, signaling that she was fine, and then she and Chu Dieyi went to the Inner Study Room.
At noon, Grand Prince, Long Xuan Mo, Yang Chengyou, and others came back one after another.
"Jiujiu, you are truly remarkable!" Yang Chenghong said excitedly.
The whole Capital now knew about the incident that morning. The words that his sister had said, ’Do not let the soldiers returning from the front shed tears after all the blood has been shed,’ spread all over the streets and alleys almost instantly. It touched the hearts of the people and moved and grateful to those discharged soldiers.
Listening to the people in the marketplace praise his sister, he felt proud along with Rong Youyan.
"Sixth Brother, hold your tongue!" Yang Chengning and Yang Chengyou rebuked Yang Chenghong in unison. With the Grand Prince and Prince Chen present, if they misunderstood his sister’s political involvement, it might bring trouble to her. Yang Chengyou said gravely, "Jiujiu only helped to stop the people from the Tidu Yamen Government Office because she sympathized with the wounded soldiers."
Yang Chenghong realized his mistake and immediately asserted that his sister was always kind-hearted and often could not stand injustice when she saw it.
Holding his wife’s hand, Long Xuan Mo’s face was stern, "Whatever Ah Jiu wants to do, she can do. If anyone dares to speak nonsense, this Prince will never be lenient!"
"When the Emperor heard of this matter, he also praised Jiujiu for doing well!" Understanding what the Yang brothers were worried about, Grand Prince smiled and consoled them.
Jiujiu had not only dispelled the negative influence but also maintained the Emperor’s dignity so well that the Emperor was too pleased to blame Jiujiu.
Except for Liu Xiuyun and Shen Qiulan, who were not aware of the inner intricacies, all the other members of the Yang family and Chu Dieyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, Jiujiu," Grand Prince continued, "the Emperor asked me and Momo what we should do to make sure that the soldiers returning from the front no longer shed tears." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Yang Mengchen thought for a moment, "I have a rough idea. I will draft a proposal and give it to Imperial Uncle and Wende to review. If Imperial Uncle and Wende think it’s feasible, we will then present it to Father Emperor. Does that sound good?"
"Good." Grand Prince nodded happily, confident in Jiujiu’s intelligence and believing that she would surely come up with an excellent solution.
After lunch, Long Xuan Mo and Yang Chengyou went to the yamen office, while Yang Mengchen and Grand Prince, along with Yang Chaowu’s family, brought gifts to the Ye Mansion.
The Ye family was both surprised and delighted. Seeing the Yang family value Ye Yunqian so much made them even happier and comforted.
Afterwards, Yang Mengchen and the others visited the Weiguo General Mansion that had been bestowed to Yang Chengning by the Emperor. Although it wasn’t in a central location and not as exquisite, it looked grand. Stepping inside, one was filled with a sense of solemnity and reverence.
