As the rice prepared by the Crown Prince began to be transported to remote prefectures and counties, the wise king was extremely anxious.
At this point, someone finally came to our door.
One tael of medicinal herbs is worth one hundred taels.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Xian wanted to kill someone. He ordered his men to bring the intruder into the mansion, intending to force him. However, after hearing the intruder's words, he no longer had any reservations.
"The Crown Prince's rice has been sent away a long time ago."
The other party said.
In other words, since the other party is aware of the rivalry between him and the Crown Prince, they also know that it would be a joke if the Crown Prince's rice arrived before his own medicine.
Moreover, by then, he would have lost the hearts of the people.
"A gentleman can tolerate what he cannot tolerate," but this also depends on the circumstances.
Yuwen Xian practically emptied his warehouse to buy ten cartloads of medicine, which he then transported to the border town.
However, seven days later, before the medicine arrived, news came that a kind-hearted person had already donated a large quantity of medicine, and the plague had stabilized.
Yuwen Yao was immediately depressed.
In other words, even though he nearly emptied the entire Prince Xian's mansion, he didn't gain anything in return.
...
General's Mansion, Qingshui Pavilion.
When Xie Lingqin heard the report about Yuwen Xian's anxious and agitated expression, a smile spread across her face.
That's right. Even if Xie Lingqin wanted to deal with some people, she would never use unarmed civilians as stepping stones.
As soon as she heard about the plague, she had Bai Yu make preparations, while she was dealing with the Prince Xian and secretly transporting several large carts of medicinal herbs.
He was still using the identity of Yan She.
In no time, Yan She's name spread far and wide, and some even threatened to erect a statue in his honor.
Yuwen Xian had just bought the medicinal herbs when Yan She showed up. He was quite embarrassed and told the Prince Xian in front of everyone that he had bought all the herbs, originally intending to use them to practice medicine. Because they were so precious, the starting price was higher.
Yuwen Xian was so angry he vomited blood. Spending all his money on medicine was already shameful enough, but this latest incident...
Not only the emperor, but all the ministers knew, and soon, the whole capital, and finally, the whole world, knew.
Even if Yan She spoke up now, he couldn't very well ask him to spit out the money, could he? That would only invite more criticism and make people want to dig up dirt on him.
Just then, as the plague had stabilized, news came from a remote prefecture and county.
The Northern Emperor's misrule led to natural disasters and man-made calamities.
Since ancient times, there have been reasons for the continuous torrential rains and the outbreak of plagues. It is said that a local sorceress even cast a divination, and her expression immediately changed drastically.
And so, these things spread like wildfire.
People were filled with anxiety.
When the news reached the capital, the emperor immediately issued an edict to thoroughly investigate the matter. However, the marriage to Xie Lingqin was about to be arranged, and envoys from various countries were arriving one after another. It was not appropriate to send anyone.
Thus, a secret decree was sent to Elder Dong's residence.
The Emperor actually wanted Yan She to secretly make this trip on imperial orders.
Yan She was flattered and flattered to receive the imperial edict. She praised the emperor as the most brilliant man in the world and praised him as the most outstanding. Soon after, she set off with a squad of imperial guards and a squad of elite Thunder Guards that the emperor had assigned to her.
As a result, news came a few days later that they had been ambushed on the road and their entire army had been wiped out, not to mention Yan She had also disappeared without a trace.
Upon receiving this news, the emperor was furious, and the entire court was filled with apprehension.
After all, those were the Imperial Guards, the Thunder Guards. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to kill them, yet they were killed, almost without leaving a trace.
Moreover, according to reports, they were all killed with a single blow.
As a result, rumors and gossip cast a shadow over the capital, pointing directly to the emperor's misrule.
The Emperor issued an edict that Yan She must be found, regardless of whether he was dead or alive. Finally, a few days later, Yan She was indeed found.
He was seriously injured and looked haggard.
Yu Qingyi was the first to greet him outside the city, weeping bitterly, saying that he wanted to take Yan She back to the palace and take good care of him.
"Yan She, my good brother, if I had known I would go with you, nothing would have happened."
Yu Qingyi's intervention made things much easier; now the entire capital knew that the Emperor had summoned the unranked Young Master Yan to do the work.
The court is full of capable officials, so why send someone with no official title like Yan She to carry out this task? This…
That's strange.
As a result, public opinion was in turmoil, with everyone having their own thoughts.
To prevent any unrest, the Emperor immediately ordered the Fifth Princess, Yuwen Qingyue, to go to the city gate to receive Yan She.
When Yuwen Qingyue arrived, Yu Qingyi was about to take Yan She away.
"Wait a minute."
Yuwen Qingyue lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped from her horse, landing in front of Yu Qingyi and Yan She.

Our Qin'er is getting her revenge!
