After the cannon fodder prostitute was reborn, she was favored by the entire royal family

Emperor Zhaoyang looked at him, with no emotion on his face. The pressure of someone who had been in power for a long time slowly filled the imperial study room, "Zhu Aiqing, do you think this is really the work of Loulan's orphan?"

Zhu Ya's legs shook, and he knelt down directly, trembling, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I am also... I am also worried about the princess..."

Emperor Zhaoyang said calmly: "Really?"

Zhu Ya's whole body was covered with cold hair, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He couldn't say a single word no matter what, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Xia Aiqing is responsible for the princess' poisoning. Zhu Aiqing should think about it carefully when she returns home."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Xia Aiqing, Mr. Xia, Cang Ming, and Qi Yuan will stay, while the others will retreat."

Zhu Ya kowtowed tremblingly and was about to get up and leave. If Eunuch Cheng hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have been able to stand up.

"Thank you very much, Eunuch Cheng." He stepped out of the imperial study with weak legs. Zhu Ya touched the cold sweat on his forehead, thanked Eunuch Cheng, and stuffed an ingot of gold into Eunuch Cheng's hand.

Eunuch Cheng refused directly, waved his whisk, bent slightly, and said with a distant tone, "Master Zhu, it's better to go back early."

Zhu Ya looked at Eunuch Cheng who couldn't get enough food and salt, gritted his teeth bitterly, turned around and left.

Eunuch Cheng squinted at Zhu Ya's retreating figure and murmured as if to himself, "The sky is going to change..."

There were only four people left in the imperial study room.

Emperor Zhaoyang pointed to the table and chairs on one side: "Sit."

Xia Yuze helped Xia Jiangyi sit down, looked at Emperor Zhaoyang, and said directly, "Your Majesty wants to borrow the Xia family's medicinal materials?"

Emperor Zhaoyang touched his nose: "Xia Aiqing, I just want to borrow a little bit."

Xia Jiangyi directly exposed him: "Your Majesty, over the years, you have borrowed the Xia family's silver, and the interest can be used to rebuild the palace."

To put it nicely, when the national treasury is full, the principal and interest will be returned to the Xia family.

As a result, after so many years, not to mention the interest, the shadow of the principal was gone.

Emperor Zhaoyang coughed slightly and looked embarrassed, "Mr. Xia, isn't it because the national treasury has always been insufficient?"

Xia Jiangyi snorted softly: "The national treasury is not rich, but the money for raising a beloved concubine is abundant."

Being scolded by his former tutor, Emperor Zhaoyang could not refute, and wisely chose to change the subject, "Mr. Xia, when Xiaoxiao gets married, I will personally prepare a dowry for her."

Xia Jiangyi snorted coldly: "Your Majesty said it nicely. I'm afraid the money used for the dowry will also belong to the Xia family.

Since Your Majesty has money, let’s pay off the previous debt first.”

On the side, Cang Ming and Qi Yuan looked at Emperor Zhaoyang's deflated appearance and chose to turn a blind eye. They lowered their heads and looked at the tea cup in front of them, as if they were planning to study which mountain the tea came from.

Emperor Zhaoyang choked.

He really planned to borrow money from the Xia family to prepare a dowry for Su Xiaoxiao.

Xia Yuze stared at Emperor Zhaoyang with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, it's okay to ask the Xia family to lend you medicinal materials and silver. I have a request. As long as you agree, the medicinal materials and silver will be provided immediately."

"My dear, please speak."

"On behalf of Xiaoxiao, I would like to ask your Majesty for a gold medal to avoid death."

After Xia Yuze finished speaking, the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became solemn.

The gold medal for immunity from death can only be obtained by those who have extremely high merit and have made great contributions to the people's country.

In the more than 100 years since the founding of the Dongchen Dynasty, the gold medal for immunity from death has only appeared twice.

Every recipient is a person with outstanding merits.

Emperor Zhaoyang was silent for a moment and then slowly spoke, "If Su Xiaoxiao cures the patient and prevents the disease from spreading, I can give her a gold medal to avoid death."

After Emperor Zhaoyang finished speaking, Xia Yuze finally felt relieved.

Xiaoxiao, this is all my uncle can get for you.

From now on, if Xuanyuan Qingmu bullies you, he will be killed directly!

With a death-free medal in hand, as long as he is not the emperor, killing a prince is enough to keep you safe.

It would be better if you were demoted to a civilian at most, and your uncle would be able to completely protect you under his wings.

On the outskirts of the city, Xuanyuan Qingmu and Su Xiaoxiao did not leave.

"Where is Yun Chen?" After a while, Su Xiaoxiao said with a solemn expression.

Xuanyuan Qingmu's eyebrows darkened: "After Yunyou discovered the patient, he always communicated with me through letters. Today is my first time here. Yun Chen should be fine."

Su Xiaoxin put it down slightly, thought for a while and continued: "Send Yun Chen to the Duke's Mansion."

Xuanyuan Qingmu pondered slightly and nodded.

He was not in the palace. Although he had left someone to protect Yun Chen, Jiang Xin and Lin Wanru's methods made it difficult for people to guard against it. Yun Chen was indeed safer in the Duke's Mansion.

"Sir, please go back first, we are here." Yun Ya urged anxiously.

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and directly dragged Xuanyuan Qingmu towards the temporary tent set up beside the mansion, "The news has been sent to the palace. Emperor Zhaoyang knows that we are here, do you think we can still leave?"

Yun Ya's eyes widened: "That's not the princess. You have to push open the door of the mansion, inhaling the air in the mansion, and hurting me."

Su Xiaoxiao simply ignored him and dragged Xuanyuan Qingmu into the tent, walked to the table, picked up a pen, wrote down a prescription, and threw it to Yun Ya who followed him, "Stock up according to the medicinal materials on the prescription. If you can,

Stock up as much as you can.”

As soon as Yun Ya entered the tent, a piece of paper was stuck on his face.

He reached out and pulled it down, staring at Su Xiaoxiao worriedly.

The look in his eyes made him fear that Xuanyuan Qingmu would be taken advantage of by Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly became very angry: "What's that look in your eyes? I should be worried if I'm worried!"

Yun Ya blurted out: "My innocence was almost destroyed in your hands."

After listening to his straightforward words, Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Xuanyuan Qingmu whose face turned dark and felt that it was really a miracle that this stupid guy could survive to this day.

Yun Ya suddenly felt a chill welling up from his eyes, and couldn't help but shudder. He glanced outside the tent and murmured: "It's strange, how can you feel cold in the bright sun?"

Xuanyuan Qingmu squinted his eyes and said in a calm tone, "Let people collect the medicinal materials. If you can't receive the medicinal materials, I will refine the medicine for you."

Yun Ming got the news and hurried over. Hearing Xuanyuan Qingmu's words, he walked into the tent and said, "Master, if you use him to make medicine, the sick will only die faster."

Yun Ya's eyes widened: "Can living people make medicine? Can they also eat dead people? Is the medicine made by humans poisonous?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Brother, if you don’t agree with the wall, I will obey you.

The corner of Yun Ming's mouth twitched: "Hurry up and stock up on medicine."

To avoid being really concocted by me.

Xuanyuan Qingmu looked at Yun Ming and frowned, "Why are you here?"

Yun Ming put away the amusement on his face and said seriously: "Sir, I have searched through medical books in the past two days, but I can't find any records about this illness."

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Su Xiaoxiao, "Miss Su, did you just ask Yun Ya to stock up on the medicine?"

Su Xiaoxiao pinched her eyebrows: "It's just an auxiliary medicine that can alleviate the condition a little."

Xuanyuan Qingmu frowned: "In other words, there is no effective medicine to treat it?"

"Well, this disease is called smallpox, and it is highly contagious. I saw just now that all the doctors and servants in the mansion were wearing face coverings, but the possibility of infection is still very high."

"Miss Su, is there a cure?"
