showing no remorse on his face.That day, Tian Xiaomǐ's father went to ask the villagers. He learned that Sun Cheng and Aman had both appeared in the village. They weren't rescued, but rather passed th..."I'm fine, you go ahead and get busy. I'll be there after I take care of this."
Xiao Li looked at the fatigue on the Queen's face and whispered to Ye Mu, "You advise the Queen."
Nightfall glanced at Feng Lingxi, then retracted her gaze, saying nothing.
"Your Majesty, Elder Gao is here."
An officer entered and reported, "Lord Liu and General Zhen Guo request your presence."
"Let them wait, I'll be there after I finish what I'm doing."
The officer withdrew, Xiaoli followed behind, Feng Lingxi finished handling her matters, and wrote a letter to Yemù.
"Please give this to the prince for me."
As night fell, Feng Lingxi went out with her.
Inside the county office, Master Gao was nervously waiting with gifts laid out. He wore a smile and kept an eye on Feng Aotian and Lord Liu, his gaze full of anxiety.
"Lord Liu, General Zhen Guo, please take my unfilial son to the slums to be treated. He's really at his last breath."
"Master Gao, we can't decide this."
Liu Da Ren glanced at Feng Ao Tian, seeing him open his mouth, he immediately agreed.
"Master Gao, that day we did make our positions clear. It was you who refused to release the grain. Now young Master Gao is ill, he doesn't have the right to free medical treatment."
When Gao Laoye heard Feng Aotian's words, he was instantly displeased.
"General Zhen Guo, you can't say it like that. Isn't my son also a commoner from Tu Mu Town Why can't he receive free medical treatment"
"Why doesn't Old Master Gao know how many"
Feng Lingxi walked in, and Feng Aotiān and Elder Liu hurried forward, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
When Master Gao heard Feng Lingxi's words, his face changed slightly, but he dared not offend her. After all, she was sent by the imperial court, which was not much different from an envoy. Besides, she was a doctor, and now his son relied on her completely. If he offended her, it would be his son who suffered.
"The commoner Gao Yi has met the Princess Consort of Chen."
"Grandmaster Gao, please don't be so formal. I had General Zhen Guo and Mr. Liu go to your house earlier to ask you to open your granaries and release the grain. They explained things clearly then, didn't they"
Feng Ling Xi's words caused Gao Lao Ye's face to change instantly. At that time, how could he have known his son would contract this plague.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, I didn't think this much back then. Right now, saving lives is important. Please, Your Highness, show mercy and save my son."
"Lord Gao, right now all the people in Tumu Town are waiting for your food. I also beg you to show mercy and save them."
"This…"
Gao Yi still can't bear to sell his grain. If he were to sell it at ten times the price, his Gao family would be making ten years' worth of money in just one year. So much grain means a tenfold increase in profit. How could Master Gao possibly agree to this
Feng Lingxi, seeing the expression on Old Master Gao's face, couldn't help but sneer.
"Master Gao, it seems you've chosen silver. Then please return. We have other matters to attend to and can't keep you company."
Feng Lingxi spoke, and Feng Aotian and Elder Liu hurriedly stood up.
"Get ready, let's go check on the patient."
Feng Aotien and Liu Da Ren hurried to prepare. Feng Ling Xi was about to leave when Gao Yi stopped her. However, before she could get close, she was intimidated by Ye Mu's sword in his hand, keeping a safe distance.
"Your Highness, how much money will it take for you to heal my son"
How much
Feng Lingxi glanced at Gao Yi, "Then how much will you sell your grain for, and how much will Young Master Gao's consultation fee be"
High Master was instantly furious, just about to unleash his anger when he saw the long sword in Ye Mu's hand. He knelt down with a thud, "Princess Consort Chen, can't you give me a break"
Feng Lingxi's face remained impassive, "I gave you a chance. Your son is still food, choose one or the other. You decide. At nightfall, we leave."
"Princess Consort of the Chen..."
Seeing Feng Lingxi go out, Old Master Gao hurriedly got up to chase after her, but he was stopped by the sword in Ye Mu's hand. His cold eyes frightened Old Master Gao into stopping and not daring to pursue.
Linxi County
Dugu Cheng received the letter sent by the dark guards, looking at the letter Feng Lingxi wrote to him, his mood was unusually excited, but the densely packed letter didn't have a single word about him.
His originally excited heart was like a basin of cold water poured over it, and the handsome face lost its smile.
"Your Highness, the Queen has sent you a letter. Why aren't you happy"
Dugu Cheng gave a letter to Ye Xi. After reading it, Ye Xi didn't find anything inappropriate.
"My lord, the princess seems to have run into trouble. The situation in Tumu Town isn't as good as we imagined. These unscrupulous merchants are so ruthless, even at this time they dare to sell at exorbitant prices. It's truly abhorrent."
"With someone in the court, even this small town could be turned upside down."
Dugu Cheng's mood was very bad. This Xi'er didn't care about his anger, and all of it shifted to these people. Ye Xi was taken aback by the sudden fury of the prince.
"My lord, perhaps we could bring troops to help What do you think"
"If I could have gone earlier, I would have. To go now, even if we suppressed these merchants in Tumuwu Town, what then Would we still be able to come and go freely"
獨孤城翻了個白眼，“如今缺的是藥材和糧食， manpower也不夠，你去軍營裡讓孫成把他的人帶來，讓他們去土木鎮支援，他們是兮兒的，使喚起來更容易一些，另外，你加派人手護送陸念運往土木鎮的藥材，繼續給我盯著，誰敢漲價，就把人給抓起來。”
Ye Xi responded, couldn't help but frown. According to market conditions, isn't it normal for prices to rise Was the King so angry about this
It seems that the Princess is not here, and the Prince's anger has flared considerably.
"My lord, there is one more thing I haven't told you."
As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, Dugu Cheng impatiently asked, "Is there anything else you want to say"
"This morning, when I went to Yipinxiang, I ran into Luoli and Li Wuyan. They didn't go to Tumuzhen."
"It's fine if you didn't go. What's the big deal..."
Du Gu Cheng's words had just finished when he suddenly looked at Ye Xi, "What do you mean Neither Luo Li nor Li Wu Yan went to Tu Mu Town"
"Yes, I just checked and found that Mo Bing met with them."
"In that case, Mo Bing actually came back from the Huangxia Dynasty. Have you sent someone to inquire about the situation in the Huangxia Dynasty Before this, it was said that the plague was spreading. How could Mo Bing enter the city so casually"
Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly. This wasn't a city under lockdown, so how could people not enter
It seems the Princess is not here, has the King really gone mad from this
Dugu Cheng wrote a letter to Ye Xi, "Deliver this to Tu Mu Town and give it to Xi'er. Tell her the situation here and send more people to keep a close eye on Mo Bing. See what she's really up to."
If there were a plague in this sweltering summer, if Mo Bing came here, this contagious plague mustn't spread here. Dugu City hurriedly instructed Ye Xi to relay this matter to the city guard, to closely monitor the situation and prevent the plague from spreading in Linxi County. He didn't want Xi'er to have to run back and forth.
"Should we tell the Queen about this"
Dugu Cheng's expression was solemn. "Don't tell her for now, so as not to worry her. Besides, we still need to keep an eye on the medicinal materials and prevent anyone from buying them up."are already of this age. She promised her mother not to acknowledge Lu Hao, but Granny, it wouldn't hurt to call him once."Grandmother, hello."When Wan'er called out to her like that, the old madam's...
