Chapter 411 Thinking about it every day
"Your Highness..." the subordinate hesitated.
"With a formidable enemy at hand... should we set aside our fight with Ji Ruyan for now?"
The boy looked at him with a cool gaze.
The man who arrived lowered his head in alarm, saying, "I was too talkative."
So the two informed the remaining troops, and they headed towards Shangjun City.
Upon arriving in the next city, they heard the people there discussing the royal family and such.
Ji Canglin cursed inwardly, "Look what Ji Ruyan has done! Now look what's happened, where is the dignity of the royal family!"
This is no isolated village; news spreads quickly, especially royal secrets like this.
"Your Highness, they seem to be talking about you." The subordinate's face showed anger.
"??????"
Ji Canglin's expression changed.
"My goodness, my goodness, the affairs of the royal family are truly fascinating! That Ninth Prince even has such a fetish!"
"That's right, wearing women's clothes in the middle of the night... hahaha, he's definitely gay, believe it or not?"
"pretty close."
"So he's a lecherous scoundrel. No wonder he tormented our Crown Prince so badly. He's rotten to the core!"
"Yes, it's all thanks to His Highness's auspicious appearance that he met Physician Lu."
The humiliations that Ji Ruyan exposed did not affect his reputation; instead, they made the people feel sorry for him!
But he was portrayed as an utterly wicked, despicable, and filthy person!
Ji Canglin was furious.
There was a piece of paper pasted on the wall, so he went up to take a look.
Besides the Ninth Prince, there are also the Minister of Rites, the General of the Palace Guard, the Shangguan family, the Grand Tutor...
A favored concubine destroys the wife, a cuckold's horn glows, incestuous relations between siblings, and sleeping with eighteen women in one night...
The various shocking secrets are astounding.
Compared to that, what's so strange about wearing women's clothing in the middle of the night?
This piece of paper has no official seal; it was posted there by some unknown person, and no government officials came to remove it.
Ji Canglin reached out and lifted it off.
"Hey? What are you doing? You haven't finished watching yet!" a bunch of people shouted.
Ji Canglin ignored him and quickly walked away.
But then they discovered that they couldn't possibly tear all that paper!
"Your Highness, Ji Ruyan's tactics are far too low-class!" a subordinate complained.
"How could he have done this! What good would it do him to smear the royal family and the court like this!" Ji Canglin sneered.
Ji Ruyan is not a fool like the Empress.
So who did this?
This problem also troubled Prince Qing'an, who was far away in the capital.
"This could not possibly have been done by Yan Zhi; it must have been done by someone who supports the Crown Prince."
"He's just a bit stupid, he's completely disgraced the Ji royal family!"
"Fortunately, it did work; now no one is keeping an eye on the Crown Prince's affairs."
However, the people cannot be allowed to discuss the imperial court.
Minister of Rites, you must be a General of the Palace Guard, right? Let's get things sorted out first!
Prince Qing'an was dressed neatly in his purple princely robes, exuding nobility and majesty.
As I strode out the door, I saw a small figure standing on the other side of the moon gate in the courtyard.
He frowned slightly and left without saying a word.
"Granny, when will the Crown Prince return?"
The eight-year-old child lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong.
The old woman sighed.
"How would this old servant know about His Highness the Crown Prince? Young master, please go back quickly. I just saw the Prince seem to be..."
He knew his father was unhappy to see him.
He knew why.
Everyone in the manor knows.
His mother was a laundry maid who, out of greed, climbed into her drunken father's bed.
When the king woke up, he searched everywhere and wanted to beat the lowly maid who had climbed into his bed to death.
Her mother didn't dare to show herself until she was heavily pregnant, at which point she went to confess her guilt.
As expected, her father did not beat her to death again, but her scheme still failed.
She died in childbirth because of complications.
Prince Qing'an did not marry; he had only one son.
But it's just something that people keep to support.
He was not allowed to go to the front yard and would not inherit the title.
Apart from the nanny who took care of him, no one paid any attention to him.
Only his gentle, handsome, and otherworldly elder brother, the Crown Prince, would pat his head, smile at him, and... bring him delicious pastries.
"Crown Prince...why haven't you come back yet?"
Guichen, I miss you so much.
The little child glanced one last time toward the gate, then turned away dejectedly.
...
Fancheng.
After Lu Yun arrived, he immediately set up a pharmaceutical workshop.
Many locals are already familiar with medicinal herbs, so it's easy to recruit workers.
He was quite skilled at selecting and testing people.
Si Xi then joined Lu Qingqing in providing free medical consultations and planning for the college.
Everyone worked together for a month.
As September approaches, people begin to arrive in Fancheng.
The news of the medical school's recruitment has already been spread.
However, for now, it's only being promoted in a few nearby cities.
But the people who come come from all over the country.
Only after asking did I learn that Ji Ruyan had actually issued such a notice, which also introduced the medical school's recruitment of students and teaching doctors.
The Crown Prince's proclamation was taken seriously by everyone; sure enough, those who wanted to learn medicine and other ambitious doctors all flocked here.
Lu Qingqing no longer cared about Ji Ruyan announcing that she had been humiliated.
She was busy recruiting students and taking exams to become a lecturer.
By the end of the day, my mouth was dry and my throat felt like it was on fire.
"My lord, this is the investigation report of the doctors you selected."
Mo Lang handed over a few pages of paper.
Lu Qingqing lazily lay on the table, taking the papers and looking at them one by one.
"Ha, he has no skills and yet he wants to be a doctor at Datong Medical College. With a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, isn't he afraid of burning his hands with it!"
"This one is alright, keep it for future investigation."
"This almost resulted in a death, with someone smashing up the clinic? Impressive, they've come here to avoid trouble!"
After watching for a while, Lu Qingqing's brows furrowed deeply.
Then a report came from outside the door.
"Miss, His Highness has sent word that two imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy have resigned to apply for teaching positions at Datong Medical College. They will arrive in Fancheng in a few days."
"The imperial physician? That's wonderful!"
Lu Qingqing was happy.
"He truly is my powerful backer! If he were here, I would kiss him to death!"
Prince is awesome!
I miss him, I miss him, I miss him.
Mo Lang: "..."
He felt that his master had probably forgotten he was still standing there.
Let's leave quietly.
I had only taken a few steps back when I was called back again.
"Mo Lang, stop right there, I have something to ask you."
So I knew he was here.
"Please ask, Master."
"You've been a bit too cold to Qingyao lately, haven't you? Why did you run away when she called you yesterday?"
"So much time has passed, and Qingyao is fine now, but you always have a long face, don't talk to anyone, and your eyes are often bloodshot. Have you developed a mental illness?"
Mo Lang was startled.
He seems to be sick.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate..."
He found it difficult to talk about it!
“Tell me what’s wrong. If you have a problem, you need to open up about it. Otherwise, you’ll get more and more confused and it will become a dead knot.”
"Your subordinate, your subordinate just wants to know, is Qingyao my biological sister?"
A rare hint of pain surfaced in Mo Lang's usually quiet eyes.
"I think about it every day, I think about it every single day, I'm going crazy!"
"Snap!"
Something fell to the ground outside the door.
The guard at the gate reported in a panic: "Miss, it's Miss Qingyao outside."
