Chapter 192: Confess yourself. You can’t take personal revenge!
Xu Zhe's voice was heavily nasal, and he glared at the person in front of him angrily, "What a beast! You have the heart to lay hands on a little girl of thirteen or fourteen, not even of marriageable age, still a budding flower. Bah! How could my Dali Temple produce a scoundrel like you? You are really... Ah Qiu!"
Before he could finish his words, he sneezed loudly.
"What are you still standing there for? Give it to me!" He said as he pulled the handkerchief directly from Guo Da's sleeve.
Looking at the orchid embroidered on the corner of his handkerchief, he raised his lips in a playful manner, blew his nose vigorously with evil interest, and then stuffed it back, "Thank you."
Guo Da looked disgusted and threw the handkerchief he had used on the bed. "Master Xu, are you catching a cold, or..."
As he was speaking, the voice of a bailiff was heard outside the door.
He hurried out to check.
After a while, he turned back.
At this time, Xu Zhe was holding a small bronze mirror and looking at the slightly pale face.
"It's over! I have a pimple in the corner of my eye. I must have smallpox!" Xu Zhe put down the bronze mirror in panic and ordered Guo Da, "What are you still standing there for? Go and call Princess Ning. Go and call Princess Ning to save me!"
"If I had a face full of pockmarks, would I still want to live?" He couldn't help but wail.
"Are you sure you want to invite Prince Ning's wife? Don't forget that Prince Ning almost died in the Dali Temple last time." Guo Da crossed his arms and asked, "What will His Royal Highness Prince Jing think if you do this?"
"My life is about to end, why should I care what he thinks?"
Xu Zhe said as he wrapped the blanket tightly around him again, "Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Jing's performance during this smallpox outbreak is too disappointing."
"From what you said, you want to switch to Prince Ning?"
Guo Da couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Your Excellency's ability to adapt to the situation has reached a new level. I really didn't follow the wrong person."
"What do you mean by changing one's stance according to the situation? I am following the doctrine of the mean, the doctrine of the mean."
As Xu Zhe spoke, he sneezed violently a few more times.
"By the way, what happened just now?"
"It's nothing serious. King Ning's people just sent a robber to steal food."
"Robber? He should be sent to Jingzhao Prefecture. Why send him to my Dali Temple? It will just add another mouth to feed." Xu Zhe just felt unlucky.
"At first, they were taken to Jingzhao Prefecture, but the prison there was full, so they had to be sent to the Dali Temple. These people are smart. Shengjing City has been suffering from a severe food shortage recently. In order to avoid starvation, they took the initiative to commit crimes and put themselves in prison."
Xu Zhe: “…”
This is when their government office became a shelter.
"Master Xu, I advise you to go to Yipin Guo. Princess Ning is so busy that she doesn't have the time to come to your house to see you." Guo Da said as he helped the man up from the Luohan bed. "Let's go. I'll take you there."
"I'm very likely to have smallpox. You're risking your life by staying so close to me!"
"Don't worry about me, sir. I got vaccinated yesterday, so I don't think I will be infected."
Xu Zhe was stunned. "There is a vaccine? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
He pointed at Guo Da angrily, "You beast, you didn't even tell me such good news! I tell you, if my face is ruined, I will never forgive you!"
He cried again, "Nineteen of my eighteen concubines are after my beauty. If I lose this face, you can imagine what will happen to me!"
"Why is there another room?"
"A few days ago, I took in a new concubine, a girl who sold herself to bury her father. I thought she was pretty...ah, bah, I thought her life was pitiful, so I took her in..."
“… beast.”
Xu Zhe put on an outer robe and left the Dali Temple with the help of Guo Da.
Before leaving, he warned Guo Da earnestly, "Little Guo, you can't learn from that old bastard Zhang Zaiyi. We can't send so many people to the Dali Temple. I can't afford to support them."
Zhang Zaiyi was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Guo Da: “…”
Just as Xu Zhe arrived at Yippin Pot, news came from the Temple of Heaven that Beigong You was missing.
Looking at Lin Miaoyin who was giving him an acupuncture needle, Xu Zhe hurriedly raised his hands, "Princess Ning, I swear, I didn't do it. This matter has nothing to do with me."
Yuzhu's mouth twitched, "My lady didn't say it was you who did it."
Why doesn't this person confess himself?
"The needle has no eye. Sir Xu, please don't move, so as not to stab the wrong person." Lin Miaoyin said as she pierced Xu Zhe's blood vessel and pushed the needle in.
"ah--"
The moment the needle was inserted, Xu Zhe suddenly howled, and scared Lin Miaoyin so much that she almost pulled the needle out again.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much…”
Xu Zhe shouted exaggeratedly, "Princess Ning, I didn't lie to you. I really didn't know that Prince Ning was missing. You can't take revenge on someone else!"
Lin Miaoyin: "..."
Yuzhu: “…”
Even everyone in the ward fell silent.
The acupuncture treatment is clearly like being bitten by an ant. Is it really that painful?
After the injection, Lin Miaoyin came to the yard. Mai Dong came forward with a bow, "Princess, the prince's injury has not healed yet, and now he is missing inexplicably. I am worried..."
"Take someone to look for it."
Lin Miaoyin directly ordered: "Just leave two people for me, and you can take the rest of the Divine Heroes away."
Beigong You was missing, and she didn't think Emperor Ming would send anyone to look for him.
The only ones we can truly rely on are the Divine Heroic Army.
"Yes. Princess, take care of yourself." Maidong bowed and said goodbye to Lin Miaoyin.
As soon as he left, a letter came from the Lin family. Lin Ruhui told Lin Miaoyin that he had sent people to look for Beigong You and asked her not to worry.
But the fact is, Lin Miaoyin didn't take it seriously.
In the next few days, all her thoughts were on exchanging vaccines and extinguishing smallpox serum.
Time flies and it is August.
In previous years, it would have been autumn at this time and the weather would have started to get cooler, but this year, for some reason, it has been extremely hot and there is no sign of autumn at all. Even the wind in the air is carrying the scorching heat.
Not only the crops in the fields, but even the people were so exhausted that they were almost smoking.
It was only then that people realized that not a drop of rain had fallen throughout the entire summer.
Many people with ulterior motives even began to speak ill of Beiliang.
It was said that Beiliang had offended the gods, so the gods sent down plague and drought to punish Beiliang.
No one took it seriously at first, but later even the pedestrians on the street began to sigh, thinking that it was God’s will to destroy Beiliang!
The people in the Imperial Observatory observed the celestial phenomena and stars day and night, and Emperor Ming personally led people to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain.
Not only did not a drop of rain come, but the weather became hotter and hotter.
This climate is really weird.
Many people in the court also said that Prince Ning saw blood under the Optimus Prime, which was unlucky and angered the gods, which led to the fact that God refused to send rain.
But Beigong You has been missing for half a month and his life or death is unknown.
Even if someone wants to find fault with Beigong You, it will be in vain in the end.
Just when everyone was praying for rain, Lin Miaoyin asked people to prepare rain gear, awnings and other rain shelter items, which was very puzzling.
"Miss, what do you want these for?"
Lin Miaoyin glanced out the window and said, "I always feel like a storm is coming."
Whether it is the weather or the situation in Beiliang.
