The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 162: Solving the Epidemic

After just an hour of sleep, it was already dawn.

After solving the problem of Dahuang Village, Shang Ruoyi naturally had to return to Liangzhou City. As for He Jingheng, he had to go to the Western Regions.

"There are some things in the Western Region that require me to go there in person. Don't worry about Shiya Village. I have already arranged everything. However, I will take most of the secret guards with me this time. I hope you will take care of the He family."

Shang Ruoyi had never asked much about what He Jingheng was going to do, and it was the same now. But for some reason, she was a little nervous this time, so before leaving, she took out some pills from the medicine box: "These are for detoxification, this one is for stopping bleeding, this one is for healing internal injuries, and this one is for removing dead tissue and promoting flesh regeneration."

He Jingheng had a smile on his face as he watched Shang Ruoyi carefully place the porcelain bottles in front of him and carefully introduce the function of each pill. If someone else had nagged like this in the past, he would have become impatient long ago, but now that Shang Ruoyi said this, he actually felt very happy.

"Do you remember everything I said?" Shang Ruoyi asked in a low voice.

"remember."

"Then repeat what I just said."

He Jingheng: “······” He was just busy looking at her and didn’t hear a word she said. He never thought that Shang Ruoyi would use this trick on him.

Seeing his embarrassment at not being able to fight back, Yunqi and the others couldn't help laughing. They never thought that the prince would have such a day, just like a disciple who was punished by his teacher for not being able to recite the book.

He Jingheng glanced at Yunqi and said in a cold voice: "I remember you asked me for Yunqi before. Since you want him, he will follow you!"

what?

Yunqi, who was secretly delighted just now, was stunned for a moment.

Master, do you mean that I should stay with the Crown Prince's Consort?

This is really great!

Now, even the Crown Prince has to bow his head before the Crown Princess. Being able to serve the Crown Princess is rarer than being a god.

"Really?" Shang Ruoyi had a hint of excitement on her face.

He Jingheng nodded: "When have I ever lied to you?" He turned his gaze to Yunqi: "From today on, she is your master."

"Yes!"

Yunqi came to Liangzhou City with Shang Ruoyi. Yunqi was not like Yuntian. He often appeared in public with He Jingheng. Except for the people in Dingguo Palace, outsiders had almost never seen his true face. Therefore, no one recognized him when he was with Shang Ruoyi. However, when they came to Liangzhou City this time, she still changed his appearance. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry. Besides, everyone knew that she was Young Master Lingjun and not Shang Ruoyi. If Yunqi used his real appearance at this time and followed her in the future, people would soon know that he was Young Master Lingjun.

When Shang Ruoyi returned to Liangzhou City, Doctor Jiang was treating the patients.

Seeing her come in, his face couldn't help but look a little unnatural.

Shang Ruoyi smiled, thinking that Doctor Jiang must have no idea about his two medicines, otherwise he would have shown off in front of him. Shang Ruoyi came to the water source, and the spiritual spring water had already flowed here, removing all the toxins in the pool water.

Shang Ruoyi finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart.

She turned to the Fourth Prince and said, "The poison in the water has been removed. From now on, the water here can continue to be used for drinking and irrigation."

The Fourth Prince was overjoyed when he heard this.

As for how she did it, the Fourth Prince did not ask, but Shangnian was very curious.

"You are indeed a miracle doctor. I admire you."

Shang Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's really rare to receive praise from the Prime Minister."

Her unfriendly tone made Shangnian frown again.

As the prime minister, he was verbally bullied time and again by a brat who was still wet behind the ears. How could he swallow this humiliation after having been in a high position for many years?

Yunqi saw all this and couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Shangnian would never have imagined that the person who was so rude to him and whom he dared not offend was actually his concubine's daughter, whom he looked down upon.

At this time, the fourth prince brought a box and said, "Master Lingjun, this is part of the money, a total of 30,000 taels. I will send someone to make up the rest when I return to the capital."

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I still believe in the character of the Fourth Prince."

With Shang Ruoyi's pills, their bodies recovered quickly and the epidemic was brought under control and no longer spread.

But the problem of food shortage has not been solved.

If there is not enough food this winter, who knows how many people will freeze to death or starve to death, and by next spring, large-scale epidemics will still break out.

However, Emperor Tianshun was very pleased that the epidemic was under control.

Not only did he make up the remaining silver, but he also opened a private treasury and rewarded many treasures.

After returning to the capital, the Fourth Prince bathed and changed his clothes and then came to the palace.

At the celebration banquet, Emperor Tianshun's face was full of smiles, and the more he looked at He Lingqi, the more he liked her. He Lingsheng saw all this and felt a little depressed.

No one thought that such a serious epidemic could be cured.

"Fourth brother, you have done a great deed this time. Is there anything you want? Tell me." Emperor Tianshun had a smile on his face. He Lingqi hadn't seen his father smile at him like this for a long time. He actually felt as if he was in another world.

After a moment, he stood up and said with a folded hand, "It is my honor to share the worries of my father. I dare not take credit for it."

"Good! Hahaha." After laughing, Emperor Tianshun looked at He Lingqi and suddenly made a decision in his heart: "Announce my decree. The fourth prince He Lingqi is both talented and brilliant, handsome and studious, with extraordinary intelligence. He is suitable for the important task and shall be named Prince Bao."

what?

He Lingsheng's hand paused.

Prince Bao?

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked. This was the first prince appointed by the emperor after he ascended the throne!

Everyone stood up hurriedly to congratulate.

He Lingsheng stood up and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations, fourth brother. You got the title of Prince Bao just by solving the plague." The implication of He Lingsheng's words was that the Fourth Prince had gotten a great bargain.

He Lingqi was not a fool, so she naturally understood what he meant.

He stood up, clasped his hands and said, "Father, your majesty has been so kind to me. I dare not accept your kindness. Please take back your order."

Emperor Tianshun thought he was making excuses, and after several rejections, he could not help but frown slightly: "What is the reason?"

"There is a severe drought in Tianshun. Many places have no harvest and there are victims everywhere. I am deeply distressed. How can I be rewarded at this time?"

He Lingqi's words surprised Emperor Tianshun. He never expected that his son, whom he had always neglected, would be so outstanding and care about the world.

He thought for a moment and said, "The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be taken back. However, since you have such a broad mind, I will give you another task, disaster relief." He smiled and said, "There is a severe drought in the north. If you can solve this problem and bring you back to the capital, I will personally crown you."

"Thank you, Father."

During the time that Shang Ruoyi came to Liangzhou City, the town's shopkeeper Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Seeing that the food in the grain store was running out, Shang Ruoyi had not been contacted for a long time, and no one sent any more food.

Shopkeeper Zhao listened to his servant's report, stroked his mustache, and sneered: "I knew he wouldn't last long. We are the largest grain store in Qingshi Town now."

"The shopkeeper is really smart." The servant gave a thumbs up and complimented, "You really have foresight! After those shopkeepers were arrested, you collected their grains. Now you can sell them for a good price."

"Haha." Just as he was feeling smug, the heavy sound of wheel ruts echoed on the road.

Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but be shocked. He walked quickly to the window and saw dozens of horse-drawn carriages loaded with grain heading towards Li's granary.

How can it be?
