"Your Majesty, I have just received an urgent report from the governor of Nanyang County. A large-scale plague has broken out in Nanyang County. Please make your decision!"

After Han Jingwen finished speaking, the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court changed drastically.

Leng Yi immediately stepped forward and took the memorial from Han Jingwen and presented it to Emperor Huiwen. Emperor Huiwen opened it and took a look. The shock gradually covered his face with a layer of frost. Then he glanced at Leng Yi, who handed the memorial to him again. Qingyun.

The memorial clearly states that people in three villages in Nanyang County have died of plague, and even nearby villages have been affected by the epidemic. The governor of Nanyang County has quarantined people in several villages to prevent the epidemic from spreading further, but There is an extreme shortage of medicinal materials in Nanyang County, and many people die every day due to the epidemic, causing people to panic and the situation to be unstable.

Qingyun frowned: "This is the season of autumn and winter, and there have been no floods caused by continuous autumn rain. How could the plague break out?"

"Back to Princess Ninth, according to the messenger, the Nanyang County Sheriff has found out that it was caused by someone accidentally eating spoiled food that had been chewed by rats and not seeking medical treatment in time."

Accidentally eat spoiled food that has been chewed by mice?

Qingyun frowned more and more, and subconsciously looked at where the Prime Minister was. The Prime Minister was still taking leave to recuperate. For the Prime Minister who had never missed a morning court, his behavior this time was really abnormal, and she didn't believe it at all. , the Prime Minister, who has always valued power, will become ill for a useless abandoned son. Isn't the Prime Minister worried that the power in his hands will be weakened?

Also, is this plague really that simple, or was it done deliberately? Could it have anything to do with the Prime Minister?

"The epidemic is urgent, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Han Jingwen, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, knelt down and begged: If the epidemic is not controlled, the consequences will be disastrous.

Looking at Qingyun, Emperor Huiwen said with a majestic expression: "Pass the decree and order Imperial Physician Xu to lead ten imperial physicians to Nanyang County immediately to prevent and treat the epidemic. Xiaowei Camp will dispatch 500 soldiers to escort the medicinal materials!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty," Zhang Zishan suddenly said, "Mr. Mo has superb medical skills. I believe that with Mr. Mo's intervention, we will be able to resolve this epidemic."

Many people also echoed the sentiment.

She glanced at Zhang Zishan meaningfully, and a devilish sneer flashed across Qingyun's lips: "Master Zhang is right, let's do this, Imperial Physician Xu doesn't have to go, I and Mr. Mo will lead ten imperial physicians to Nanyang County. .”

Originally, she planned to tell her father after the morning court that she would leave the palace and go to Cining Temple to pray for blessings, but she actually went to Xueyun Peak. This would save her the trouble of convincing her father, who knew her intentions, and she could wait until the epidemic was dealt with before turning around. Going to Xueyun Peak is the best of both worlds.

But Dr. Xu had to stay, not only because of his superb medical skills, but also because of his integrity. He was kept by his father's side just in case.

"No!" Several voices of objection sounded at the same time.

Sima Yue rushed over and said urgently: "Ninth Princess, the journey is long and the epidemic is serious. What should we do if the Ninth Princess feels unwell?"

"King Yue is right!" Sima Qi nodded and said, "It is understandable that the Ninth Princess cares about the people's illnesses in Nanyang County. She only needs to have people report the epidemic situation at any time. The Ninth Princess does not need to go there in person."

Seeing that his father, Uncle Leng, and more than half of the court officials disagreed, Qingyun said quietly: "I have been visiting borders and people with my father since I was a child. This difficulty is nothing, besides Mr. Mo. Here, I will naturally be fine.

And I personally went to Nanyang County to let the people know that the imperial court not only did not leave them alone, but also actively treated them, which fully demonstrated the emperor's great kindness and was more beneficial to the country and the people, wasn't it?"

"Having said that, the Ninth Princess still can't go. If I want to go, it's up to me or King Qi to go!"

"It's not like Prince Mo doesn't know Mr. Mo's temperament."

Sima Yue was immediately speechless.

You know, except for Jiu'er, Mo Xuan never takes anyone seriously, not even his father, let alone obeys anyone's instructions.

Qingyun looked sideways at Emperor Huiwen, who looked solemn, and Emperor Huiwen also looked at her. The two exchanged glances. This matter may not be as simple as it seems. Otherwise, why would Zhang Zishan only specify Mo Xuan to go?

Seeing Emperor Huiwen nodding, Qingyun responded with a reassuring smile, and then faced everyone and said meaningfully: "This epidemic is fierce and has far-reaching impact. I hope that King Yue, Taifu and Jing Zhaoyin will coordinate with the Xiaowei camp and the Imperial Guard to protect the capital. and the palace are safe to prevent the epidemic from spreading to Kyoto.

At the same time, in order to ensure Nanyang County's subsequent supply of medicinal materials, and since winter is about to begin, Nanyang County will inevitably be short of supplies. This matter was left to the King of Qi and the Marquis Hu Guo to supervise all departments to prepare as soon as possible and send people to escort them to Nanyang County. .

I hope that the people of Jin State will work together to overcome this difficulty. If anyone dares to..."

"If anyone dares to wait for an opportunity to cause trouble, he will be severely punished once found out!" Emperor Huiwen's deep eyes swept across each courtier coldly, and everyone felt a chill down their spines, as if they were in a thousand-year cold pool, and their whole bodies shivered.

"I (Veteran) obey the order!" Knowing that they could not stop Qingyun's decision, Sima Yue and others had no choice but to act according to the order.

After the morning court, Emperor Huiwen arrived at Yuhua Palace, where Concubine Yu and the two newlyweds were already waiting.

According to the rules handed down from the ancestors, both princes and courtiers have three days of wedding leave when they get married, and they do not have to go to court to discuss politics. However, the princes and princesses have to enter the palace to pay respects to their parents for tea. Sima Rui's mother and concubine died young, so they came with Sima Xian. Yuhua Palace.

Not seeing Jiu'er, Sima Rui and Sima Xian were both surprised: "Father, why don't you see Jiu'er?"

"Jiu'er has something to do and I'll be delayed for a while."

Although their father looked normal, the two of them always felt that something big had happened, and it was related to Jiu'er, so they seemed a little absent-minded throughout the tea ceremony, looking at the door from time to time, until after the tea was served, they met with their father again. Concubine Yu talked for a while, but the two people who never saw Jiu'er could not sit still anymore and found an excuse to go straight to Luoxia Palace.

Seeing the two people arriving, Grandma Shen and the eunuchs and maids hurried forward to salute.

Sima Rui searched all over the Luoxia Palace, but Jiuer was nowhere to be seen. Even Mo Xuan and Zike Lupo were not there. Even the number of secret guards protecting the Luoxia Palace had been reduced a lot. He looked at Sima Xian and the two of them were surprised. A bad premonition suddenly arose in my heart.

"Mother Shen, do you know where Jiu'er is going?"

"In reply to the two princes, princess, the princess has left the palace and gone to the market..."

"Really?" Sima Xian's gentle words were full of coldness: "Did Jiu'er say when he would return to the palace?" Knowing that they would come to pay their respects to their parents today, how could Jiu'er leave? Mother Shen Mom is obviously lying!

Aunt Shen lowered her head and pretended to be calm: "The princess said she would come back after dark."

Sima Rui had no patience to listen to Nanny Shen's nonsense, so he grabbed her arm and pulled her up, but considering that she was Jiuer's, he stared at her, his voice as cold and hard as if it was popping out from between his teeth: " If you don’t tell the truth, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

"Third brother, don't embarrass Grandma Shen!" Sima Yue and Sima Qi, who came after hearing the news, stopped them at the right time.

Sima Rui and Sima Xian both stared at the two of them and asked in unison: "Where did Jiu'er go?"

Waving his hand to signal Aunt Shen and others to leave, Sima Qi looked at the third brother, whose eyes were flashing with a cold light, and said truthfully: "A large-scale plague broke out in Nanyang County, and Jiu'er and Mo Xuan went to prevent it. "

"Plague?" Both Sima Rui and Sima Xian's expressions changed suddenly: "How long has Jiu'er been gone?"

"One hour!" Seeing that the third brother was about to run away, Sima Qi hurriedly stepped in front of him, and Sima Yue hugged his waist tightly: "Jiu'er specially warned that the third brother and the sixth brother had just got married. You have to stay and keep company with the two royal sisters-in-law!"

Sima Rui tried his best to break free from his eighth brother's restraints, but when he thought about the dangers of Jiu'er's journey, Sima Rui sprinted away quickly. Unexpectedly, Sima Qi's tepid voice came from behind him.

"Jiu'er had expected that Third Brother would be like this, so he left without saying goodbye! Jiu'er hoped that Third Brother and Sixth Brother could concentrate on handling political affairs, ensure the supply of Nanyang County, protect the peace of Kyoto, and guard against anyone waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. If Third Brother and Sixth Brother If I can’t do it, Jiu’er will be very sad!”

Sima Rui couldn't help but stop, turned around, and looked at Sima Qi who shrugged. Sima Yue couldn't help but nodded in proof, lowered his eyes slightly, and felt endless bitterness in his heart: Jiu'er, I will do what you want! Then he pursed his lips tightly Lip, without uttering a word, went to the meeting room.

Three people followed closely behind.

In Yuhua Palace, Emperor Huiwen had returned to Qinzheng Palace. Concubine Yu looked at her daughter-in-law and Xu Kexin, who had been obviously silent since her son and Prince Rui left, and sighed silently.

Holding in her hand the precious purple jade hairpin that was handed over to Emperor Huiwen and given to herself by the Ninth Princess, which was said to be the only one in the world, Xu Kexin felt mixed emotions in her heart, accompanied by a hint of sadness.

In the Yanqing Palace, after hearing that the little bitch had left the capital and rushed to Nanyang County, the beautiful concubine’s face was covered with a ferocious smile, and a cold and vicious light flashed in her eyes: "Tell her, you must capture the little bitch alive, I want the little bitch." Life is worse than death!"

The eunuch opened his mouth but said nothing and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At this time, on the official road, five horses of a thousand miles were galloping rapidly. The people driving the horses were Qingyun, Mo Xuan and Lu Ba after the disguise, as well as Longying and Wuying who were no longer hidden in the shadows. Everyone walked very fast along the way and did not stay in a town until after dark, when they stopped in a woods.

The full moon hung obliquely in the pitch-black sky, and the bright moonlight seemed to have covered the earth with a layer of silver gauze. A few sparse stars twinkled, and the cool night wind blew by, adding a sense of desolation.

Long Ying and Wu Ying, who had used dry food, watched the surrounding movements with high alertness.

Taking the dry food from Lu Ba, Qing Yun said gently: "Lv Ba, you have been tired for a long day, so go to bed early." Lu Ba had just learned to ride a horse for a few days, so he was a little overwhelmed by the speed.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm not tired."

"Xi Yan, why don't you let Lan Jue or Zhu Yue accompany you?"
