Chapter 174: Deep Affection, She Doesn't Need to Be Moved
"Your Majesty?"
Maidong, who was following Beigong You, was shocked.
The Temple of Heaven was the place of sacrifice for the Northern Liang Dynasty throughout the years, and the Optimus Prime in the center of the Temple of Heaven was the guillotine used to execute the most heinous criminals.
Optimus Prime is located at the center of the Eye of the Heaven, Earth, Sun, Moon and Bagua Array, and contains a Soul Devouring Seal.
It is said that those who die there will have their souls erased.
There will be no rebirth forever.
Since the founding of Northern Liang, Emperor Gaozu had executed two people here.
Both of them were unforgivable people who disregarded the lives of the people and committed treason and treason to the country.
After their death, Emperor Gaozu ordered his bodies to be crushed to ashes.
After that, the area around the Optimus Prime of the Temple of Heaven became gloomy. It was fine on sunny days, but every time it was cloudy and rainy, in the evening, the Optimus Prime was always surrounded by fog and gloomy air.
Later, the abbot of the Jokhang Temple added 108 Buddhist seals to Optimus Prime, which suppressed the evil spirit.
But ordinary people did not dare to approach.
Even members of the royal family would not come here on normal days except for annual sacrifices.
Over time, this Temple of Heaven, which was built for sacrifices and should have been magnificent, now looks somewhat desolate due to lack of vitality.
Not only Maidong, but even Shen Kuo was stunned when he heard this.
"Prince Ning, you can't do that!" He hurriedly advised. Everyone knew what Optimus Prime meant.
Once Prince Ning was tied to it, he would lose all his reputation.
"Prince Ning, think twice!" The Minister of Dali Temple and the Prefect of Jingzhao also rushed over to dissuade him.
Although Emperor Ming sentenced Prince Ning to be executed in the autumn, they all knew that Prince Ning was not entirely responsible for the smallpox vaccination in Shiqiao Town. Even if it was all his fault, he also contributed a lot to the smallpox epidemic. His merits and demerits offset each other, and he did not deserve to be put to death.
Once smallpox is successfully prevented and treated, and with the intercession of his ministers, he can completely escape punishment.
Over the years, he went from being an abandoned child in the cold palace to the War King of Beiliang. He fought for a bright future with every sword and spear, and even became a popular candidate to succeed the throne.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely win the throne.
Now that he was doing this, he had left no way out. Once he boarded Optimus Prime, even if he could come back alive, he would have a stain on his body.
Is it worth risking your future for a woman?
"Thank you all for your kindness, but I have made up my mind." Beigong You had thought it through on the way here.
Lin Miaoyin saved him several times, and he only used his life to guarantee her.
If you can't even do this, what kind of man are you?
"Prince Ning is truly deeply in love with Princess Ning." The Grand Justice almost shed tears of emotion.
The Jingzhao prefect beside him also nodded repeatedly, "Everyone in Shengjing said that Prince Ning hated Princess Ning, and even looked at Princess Ning for a second longer. Who would have thought that Prince Ning would even give up his life for Princess Ning? It turns out that the rumors were all lies."
"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Look at the look in his eyes. Prince Ning's feelings for Princess Ning cannot be fake."
"The last time Prince Ning got into trouble in the Dali Temple, it was all thanks to Princess Ning who rescued him in time. She deserves it!"
People around them kept praising Beigong You and Lin Miaoyin for their deep love.
Lin Miaoyin frowned slightly when she heard this.
"Beigong You!" Seeing the man walking towards the Temple of Heaven, she subconsciously stepped forward and stopped him.
Beigong You paused and looked back at her, "The people of Shengjing City are now in your care."
"You..." There's no need to do this!
She volunteered to fight against smallpox out of selfish motives.
Besides, the person who made her infamous was Song Qingyun, and it had nothing to do with him, so why did he have to get involved in this mess?
For the deep affection spoken of by everyone?
As far as she knew, Beigong You was not a person who cared much about reputation.
"I believe you." Beigong You said seriously.
There was no need for her to get involved in this mess.
Even if she had to intervene in this matter, she should be treated as a miracle doctor and embraced as a guest of honor because she saved her father, instead of being regarded as a witch by the people of the city as she is now, being scolded and beaten by them, and demanding that they treat her.
He caused all this.
His momentary change of mind led to Song Qingyun's departure, which led to the current situation.
It was he who got her into trouble, and he should clean up the mess for her.
It was not until Beigong You’s back disappeared in the crowd that Lin Miaoyin came back to her senses.
He believed her.
Did he believe that she could prevent and treat smallpox, or did he believe in the incident in Shiqiao Town?
If it was the former, she could only say that he was overconfident.
Although she is very confident that smallpox can be controlled, there are still many unknowns in the prevention and control process, and we cannot be blindly optimistic now.
As for the smallpox vaccination in Shiqiao Town.
Even though such a big thing happened, not only did he not blame her, he didn't even mention it.
It can be seen that he knew that Song Qingyun had tampered with the smallpox serum.
But what’s the use of knowing?
Song Qingyun still managed to escape safely under his protection.
Whenever it comes to Song Qingyun, he can't even be fair.
Although he showed up in time today to rescue her, and even risked his life and reputation for her, all he did was to clean up Song Qingyun's mess.
She didn't need to be impressed.
All I can say is that he did not back down at the critical moment, but dared to stand up and take responsibility. He is responsible and not a coward.
That was the impression she had of him.
Seeing her in a daze, Zhang Miaochun couldn't help but step forward and urge her, "Princess Ning, let's go."
At this time, the people in front of the palace gate were no longer as resistant as before.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, and the imperial city, which had been blocked from traffic, soon became empty.
There were almost no people on the wide streets.
It is clearly midsummer, with lush vegetation, but at a glance everything seems desolate.
Lin Miaoyin retracted her gaze and said to Zhang Miaochun, "Director Zhang, I plan to go back to Yipin Guo. Do you want to stay in the city or go to the north of the city?"
"I thought you were going back to Shiqiao Town, so I invited you to go with me. It seems we are not going the same way."
Zhang Miaochun picked up the medicine box and called the servant over, saying, "The Imperial Hospital has a mission, and I have to go out of town. I won't take you there, so I'll take my leave now."
"Master Zhang, take care."
After Zhang Miaochun left, Lin Miaoyin and Yuzhu returned to Yipin Guo.
As soon as she got back, Ding Xiang excitedly shouted behind her, "Dad and Mom, come quickly, the princess is back!"
"The princess is back?"
Dingxiang had a very loud voice, and when she shouted, almost the whole street could hear her.
Mrs. Sun hurriedly pulled Manager Liu out from the backyard, and the couple looked at Lin Miaoyin with surprise and joy.
"Is the princess alright?"
"The Emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"Why are there stains on the hem of your skirt? Are those unruly people doing something wrong again? I'll go find them!" said Mrs. Sun as she grabbed the bolt from the corner and was about to go out.
Manager Liu hurriedly pulled the man back and said, "He left long ago, who are you looking for?"
As soon as Lin Miaoyin left the palace, the couple felt worried and followed her out.
The two originally planned to wait outside the palace, but later Dingxiang sent a message saying that Yipin Guo was short of staff, so they returned to the palace and rushed over with everyone in the mansion.
"Princess!" Soon, maids and servants as well as smallpox patients who were still receiving intravenous drips rushed into the lobby.
