Chapter 173: Favoritism, She Has Always Been the Princess of Ning
Despite this, the people outside the palace still refused to believe Lin Miaoyin.
Song Qingyun had previously caused too many deaths and injuries during smallpox vaccination in Shiqiao Town, which had a very bad impact and aroused public outrage. She was just a concubine, and after being sent back to Prince Ning's mansion, everyone forgot about her in a few days. But Lin Miaoyin was different, she was Prince Ning's principal wife, and even if a few people knew that the deaths from smallpox vaccination had nothing to do with her, most of them were unaware of the matter. They only knew that the smallpox paste for vaccination came from her hands, and they didn't know that it was Song Qingyun's work.
So, Song Qingyun could get away with it cleanly, but she couldn't run away.
Previously, she saved Emperor Ming and the Prince of Qi and was praised for her superb medical skills. But in just two months, she went from being a miracle doctor who brought people back to health to a cancer that harmed the people.
It is normal that these people refuse to believe her.
Lin Miaoyin did not make any excuses. No matter how much she said, it would not be more convincing than curing smallpox patients.
She had the imperial edict from Emperor Ming in her hand, so she could definitely save the people.
It's just that these people are against her, which creates some obstacles in the process of saving lives and preventing smallpox.
But she is not afraid.
"Princess Ning, please leave first. I will leave this to you."
Zhang Miaochun also realized that these people were stubborn and would not buy into his assurances at all.
If the situation continued like this, who knows what these angry people would do. The only solution now was to let Lin Miaoyin leave first, and then he would slowly appease the people.
All will be well once she cures the smallpox patients.
"Master Zhang, thank you for your help today." Lin Miaoyin understood what Zhang Miaochun meant.
He enjoys a high reputation among the people and they will not make things difficult for him.
This way she can leave with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, the people in front of her threw a rotten cabbage at her, "Don't leave!"
These people wanted to tear her apart.
How could we let her go and allow her to continue to harm the people?
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, but the dark figure was faster than her.
Beigong You rushed to Lin Miaoyin quickly, subconsciously hugged her in his arms, and used his back to block the rotten cabbage.
Yuzhu looked at the stains on the man's body and was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Wang, Wangyou?"
Beigong You looked at the woman in his arms, checked her up and down, and was relieved to see that she was not injured. He turned around and looked at the excited people, and said loudly: "If you have any grievances, just come to me, don't embarrass the princess."
Everyone was stunned.
Beigong You is a man who has been on many battlefields, especially when he is angry, he exudes a murderous aura. Even though he is sick and weak now, he still has some murderous intent.
The person who threw the rotten cabbage just now turned pale with fright.
Beigong You didn't even look at him, he just said, "I was careless in the previous vaccination, so I used the wrong smallpox paste and killed innocent people. This matter has nothing to do with the princess."
"King Ning, there is no need to cover up for her. We all know that she is the real murderer."
"Prince Ning, you have recovered Beidi and protected Beiliang. You are a great hero of Beiliang. We respect you. So, please do not interfere in this matter."
"That's right, let's put it this way. Princess Ning's medical skills are not good, and she killed innocent people. It's none of your business."
Beigong You was a famous war king in Beiliang, and his reputation among the people was even higher than Zhang Miaochun's. So even though they hated Lin Miaoyin, they did not vent their anger on him because of their relationship.
"The princess's affairs are my affairs." Beigong You spoke every word seriously.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't protect her."
"We respect you and hope you won't embarrass us."
"Lin Miaoyin has evil intentions and is not worthy of being Prince Ning's wife. Now that you have divorced, I hope Prince Ning will not stop you."
"In my heart, she has always been Princess Ning."
Hearing the man's firm voice, Lin Miaoyin's black eyes trembled.
She subconsciously looked towards the pine and bamboo-like figure in front of her. The cold sound of jade hitting each other continued. "I hope everyone will give her a chance to save her."
"If we let her save people, what if she kills them again?"
"Prince Ning, it's not that we don't want to believe you, but we don't dare to joke with our lives."
"We just don't want to die, King Ning, please don't force us."
Beigong You narrowed his dark eyes fiercely, "In the previous incident in Shiqiao Town, I killed countless innocent people. My father sentenced me to be executed in the autumn. My life no longer belongs to me. However, I still want to use my life to guarantee the princess. This time, for the prevention and treatment of smallpox, whether it is medical treatment or vaccination, if one person dies or one person is infected, I will cut my own knife. If a hundred people are killed or a hundred people are infected, I will cut my own knife a hundred times. If a thousand people are killed or a thousand people are infected, I will be sentenced to death by slow slicing, and my body will be torn to pieces!"
Silence, deathly silence.
After these words were spoken, everyone who originally wanted to argue was now unable to say a word.
The only sound in the crowd was gasps of shock.
They never imagined that Prince Ning would actually risk his life to protect Princess Ning.
Wasn't it said that Prince Ning and Princess Ning had a bad relationship? When did they have such a deep friendship? In order to prevent smallpox, he was willing to suffer the consequences?
"Commander Shen, thank you for your hard work in escorting me to Jingzhao Prefecture." Beigong You said as he stretched out his hands in front of Shen Kuo, motioning him to tie him up.
Just when Shen Kuo was in trouble, Kang Dayong, the head of the Jingzhao Prefecture's yamen runners, came jogging over.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Kang Dayong looked at Beigong You who had a determined face, and then at Shen Kuo who didn't dare to move and waved his hands repeatedly, "My master said that the prison in Jingzhao Prefecture had been in disrepair for a long time. Yesterday, several rooms suddenly...suddenly collapsed. Although the yamen runners are stepping up repairs, I'm afraid they won't be able to be used for a while."
Their Jingzhao prefect did not go home after the court session today and has been keeping an eye on the situation here.
As soon as they heard that Prince Ning was going to Jingzhao Prefecture, they quickly pushed him out.
No matter what the reason is, it should be rejected.
They can’t afford to install this giant Buddha statue in Jingzhao Prefecture.
He was a poor talker and had no idea why he should reject Prince Ning, so he could only talk nonsense.
So when the prefect of Jingzhao heard these words, he was petrified.
Seeing the Dali Temple Minister looking in his direction, he nodded vigorously, "It's strange to say, such a solid wall can also collapse, it's really... too unfortunate."
After saying that, he quickly winked at the people around him.
The prison in Jingzhao Prefecture would have collapsed even if it hadn’t.
Prince Ning had made great military achievements, so how could he dare to touch him? He didn't want to become a sinner of Beiliang and be stabbed in the back by the people.
"It's the same if you go to the Dali Temple." Beigong You said to Shen Kuo.
The Dali Temple Minister had just looked away when he heard himself being mentioned, and he immediately panicked.
"Our Dali Temple has collapsed too!" Before he could even utter a word, his good friend and subordinate, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, rushed to speak.
After saying this, he gave the Dali Temple Minister a look that sought praise.
Dali Temple: "..."
Should he praise him for his quick reaction?
"Did it really collapse?"
"Yes, it collapsed. More collapsed than in Jingzhao Prefecture."
Dali Temple: "..."
Jingzhao Prefecture Governor: “…”
Beigong You knew very well that the Dali Temple and Jingzhao Prefecture did not want to get involved in this matter.
He didn't want to embarrass them, so he directly ordered Shen Kuo: "Tie me to the Optimus Pillar of the Temple of Heaven, and I will be tortured there!"
