Chapter 81: Each has his own mind

Chapter 81: Each has his own mind

In the capital, the sun shines on the earth after the rain. It was already spring. This should be a season of colorful flowers, but it was overshadowed by the long and astonishing heavy rain. The rain didn't seem to wash everything away. Instead, it brought untold consequences.

The gates of the city were tightly closed, and there were mourning everywhere outside the city, shrouded in a gloomy mist. The corpses that were carried out from the refugee camps under the city every day made the soldiers guarding the city feel numb, and even later even they felt a little bit numb. Desperate.

If there is no longer an effective cure for this plague, death will come upon them at any time.

The palace is also solemn. Without singing and dancing, there is only a palpitating silence.

A crisp sound of "Bang" broke the calm of the South Study Room, and many palace servants shrank their necks in fear, fearing that whoever made a sound accidentally would become a scapegoat and be pulled to resist His Majesty's wrath.

"What's the use of raising you rice buckets!" Emperor Jing took out the paperweight on the table with a flick of his sleeves and threw it out forcefully. He has been completely lost in the air of anger.

Every one of the papers from the various ministries asked him for money and food, and every one of the petitioners from all over the world turned to him for help.

He is the Son of Heaven, but he is not God! Where can I find so much money now? Where to find a prescription!

"Sun Yizheng, you said! Isn't your Taiyuan hospital developing a good recipe day and night? Has it been developed yet?" Emperor Jing asked angrily, pointing at the head of one of the many ministers kneeling in front of him.

Sun Yizheng, who was called by his name, was so frightened that he almost jumped to the ground. He replied in a trembling voice, "Playing Your Majesty, the ministers are already working on it, please give Your Majesty a little more time."

"Do you still need grace?" Emperor Jing stood up with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in front of the dragon chair, "How do you want me to forgive you! Nearly twenty days have passed since the plague was discovered, and there have been countless deaths! You are It's not that I want all my subjects to die before you can research it. Even if you research it then, what's the use!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go here." Sun Yizheng's face turned pale for a while after being yelled at. He gave a trembling kowtow, and then he fell to the ground, not daring to raise his head again.

"Don't hurry up!" Emperor Jing roared.

"Yes, yes, I'll go now." Sun Yizheng was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and was about to retire. Before he could get up, he saw a little **** hurried in, "Your Majesty, there is His Royal Highness Prince An from Jiangxia City Fourth. Baili expedited delivery."

"Jiangxia City?" Emperor Jing frowned. "Xiao Qi's? What's the content?"

The little **** handed over the letter in his hand and handed it over to the **** in charge. After receiving it, the **** in charge did not directly hand it over to Emperor Jing. Instead, he took a general look at Emperor Jing's instructions, then smiled and said to Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty is rejoicing! His Royal Highness Prince An has sent a prescription to cure the disease. Even His Royal Highness Prince An’s own illness was cured by this recipe.”

"Fangzi!" Jingdi frowned at the beginning, but when he heard the last, his eyes lit up, "Hurry up, call Sun Yizheng back! Let him take a look at this recipe."

Sun Yizheng was only halfway there when he was carried back. When he heard that it was a recipe from Jiangxia City, he hurriedly ran towards the study, almost tripped himself over the threshold, and stumbled to the **** in charge. In front of him, he took the prescription attached to the letter.

"Hurry up and take a look." Emperor Jing sat down on the dragon chair again. After so many days, there was a buzzing of bad news in his ears, and Xiao Qi finally gave him a breath today. He also looked at Sun Yizheng eagerly, only to look at him to confirm the effect of this recipe.

Sun Yizheng took the prescription and looked at it carefully. In fact, most of the medicinal materials were inseparable from those studied by their Taiyuan Hospital, but the smell of dead grass in it was something the Taiyuan Hospital did not expect.

As if he had just woken up from a dream, he slapped his thigh as if he had been overwhelmed, "Wonderful! Why didn't we think that this flavor was missing before!" He bowed deeply towards Emperor Jing who was aloof, "Your Majesty, this recipe should be feasible!" His old face was beaming, "Your Majesty, I will try it now."

"Hurry up." Emperor Jing waved his hand again. In fact, this prescription has already been tested by King An himself, and Emperor Jing's heart has been relieved. As long as it is verified by the Taiyuan Hospital, everything will be fine.

A smile appeared on Emperor Jing's tensed face, "Xiao Qi did a good job this time, and it's hard for him to contract an epidemic. After tossing around in that place for so long, when Xiao Qi comes back, I will reward him!"

As soon as he said these words, Yun Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but feel a little mixed in his heart. He was happy that Xiao Qi didn't die. Not only did he survive, but he also found a cure for the disease. When he was sick, he didn't even have a single greeting, I was afraid it would chill his heart, but he thought about it, it didn't really matter, and it was enough to make up for it now.

"By the way, did King An say how this recipe was discovered?" Emperor Jing asked curiously, how could Xiao Qi get something that was not researched in the entire Tai Hospital's day and night research? ? It's not easy for this child. He was trapped in an epidemic area and contracted an epidemic. He could turn a bad luck into a lucky one. It seemed like a sign of wealth.

"Returning to His Highness, it was discovered by a woman." The **** in charge looked a little weird. Zhuang Ma table tennis.

"Women?" Emperor Jing smiled, "There are such strange women in the world, tell me, what are they called?"

"Your Majesty, it was discovered by a girl named Gu Yuqi when she was looking up ancient books." The **** in charge bowed and said.

As soon as Gu Yuqi's name came out, all the ministers at the scene felt familiar, while others looked at Gu Huaizhong who was kneeling among the generals. Even Gu Huaizhong's heart trembled, he raised his face in a daze, he heard it right, she was actually this bad girl!

"Gu Yuqi?" Emperor Jing frowned. This name is familiar, where have you heard it before? "I want to reward her well."

Gu Huaizhong was shocked, but he didn't dare to speak, so he could only lower his head lower.

Oops, this rebellious girl ran away from her so well, why is there a bar here, this girl didn't go to Jiangnan, but went north to Jiangxia? The people sent by Gu Huaizhong went in the wrong direction. No wonder he couldn't find the whereabouts of their mother and daughter for so many days.

There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, but it is not so coincidental.

"By the way, who is this Gu Yuqi? Did King An mention it?" Emperor Jing asked again.

"Go back to Your Majesty, Gu Yuqi actually knows this," the **** in charge continued. A few days ago, Gu Yuqi's name spread almost all over the capital, up and down, up and down, up to the palace, down to the wine shop, no one knew it.

Emperor Jing was at a loss, and then a flash of light flashed in his mind, "Could it be that Gu Yuqi!" He asked in astonishment.

"Go back to your Majesty, that's right." The steward **** nodded, "His Royal Highness An's letter made it clear that this young lady of the Gu family took her mother to the north and was blocked in Jiangxia City. After the outbreak of the plague, she was the one who took care of His Royal Highness An. , not afraid of the epidemic, and she also checked ancient books and various medical techniques all night, and finally she found a recipe. Not only did it save the life of His Royal Highness Prince An, but also the lives of thousands of people in Daqi."

The corner of Emperor Jing's mouth twitched when the **** in charge said something, why is that Gu Yuqi again...

He had murdered her before. This... just now he also said that he would give a heavy reward to the person who found the prescription. He is the emperor, with a golden mouth, and he can't break his promise. But wait, what happened to her taking her mother north? Isn't her mother the missing lady of Dingyuanhou? Didn't it mean that Gu Yuqi had already been burned to death in the Hou residence? Where did her second mother come from? Emperor Jing was not old and confused, and remembered how Dingyuan Hou Gu Huaizhong cried in front of him with snot and tears, how unfilial his daughter was, and the fire not only lost the Hou residence, but also burned her mother to death.

"Her mother...?" Emperor Jing looked suspiciously at Gu Huaizhong, Marquis Dingyuan, "Gu Aiqing, didn't you say that your wife died in the fire?" His voice sank and his face became calm. what is going on?

Gu Huai's heart trembled, his trivial matter was the thing he was most afraid to mention, and now he was even brought to the South Study Room to speak in front of civil and military officials.

His face was red and black, but fortunately he was kneeling and his head was lowered very low, so not many people saw the unpredictable color on his face.

"Go back to Your Majesty, the wife of the minister was indeed missing that day, and the minister was angry for a while, thinking that she died in the fire." Gu Huaizhong tried hard to calm his words.

"Nonsense!" Emperor Jing was also a little dissatisfied, "People die without seeing corpses. You didn't even see your wife's corpse, so you made a random assertion. It's really messed up! Go back and take care of the mess in your house. Come see me after you are clear. Is your wife divorced or dead! After thinking about it, answer me, and your daughter, did she set fire to her biological mother! You also want to make it clear to me. !"

Gu Huaizhong's cold sweat already broke out, and he hastily hurriedly thanked Huang En and left the South Study.

The wind blowing outside made Gu Huaizhi feel the coldness all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He walked out of the palace in despair, but he hated in his heart. He only hated that Gu Yuqi was too cunning, and actually took Liang Huaiyu all the way north, what did he do in the north? Could it be that they are not going back to Jiangnan as a mother and daughter?

In his impression, Liang Huaiyu, the daughter of the Liang family, would definitely take Gu Yuqi back to his hometown in Jiangnan, otherwise, where would the two female classmates go to settle down?

So he dispatched manpower to search all the way to the south, and it turned out to be the result of one thing after so many years.

Yes, he was heartbroken. If Liang Huaiyu didn't die, how could he relieve the shame of his day! And the Heli book, he has already tried to take advantage of the chaos to burn down Jing Zhaoyin's warehouse. Once the content of the Heli book is exposed, what will happen to his face as Hou Dingyuan? Let alone face, if His Majesty orders an investigation, I am afraid that his title of Marquis Dingyuan will not be guaranteed. Therefore, the Heli book must be burned, Jing Zhaoyin must die, and Liang Huaiyu still has a copy, which must be found and burned, and Liang Huaiyu will be silenced by the way.

Anyway, he had already released the news that Liang Huaiyu had already been burned to death in the fire. Since this kind of news has been released, let her fake death turn into real death.

If it was said that he still had a little bit of kindness towards Liang Huaiyu at the beginning, now it has all turned into resentment.

He didn't catch Liang Huaiyu at that time, and the more he thought about it after returning to the capital, the more wrong it became. If Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu really ran away, what would he do in the future? Almost no one knew about his concubine and his husband-in-law and his wife. After he was enthroned as a marquis and entered the capital, he brought Liu Yue from the border. Others only regarded Liu Yue as a concubine who was recognized by the Liang family and General Liang. It was indeed a felony to take a concubine before the battle, but it was nothing to be recognized by the coach.

But Gu Huaizhong and Liang Huaiyu's reconciliation book stated that he concealed General Liang Da and Liang Huaiyu at that time. If this kind of reconciliation book was spread, it would be a big deal. If it is obtained by someone with a heart, he is afraid that this book will be in front of His Majesty, and he will be a little bit overwhelmed.

Jing Zhaoyin has been infected with the plague because of the resettlement of refugees in the past few days and contact with many ordinary people. Even Gu Huaizhong felt that God was pity him. He didn't need him to think of a way to get rid of Jing Zhaoyin, so he gave him a big gift directly.

After all, Jing Zhaoyin is still an official, and it is not so easy to go out.

As soon as Jing Zhaoyin died, he was sending someone to find Liang Huaiyu's share of the He Lishu, and if the person was killed, he could sit back and relax.

However, he killed a Gu Yuqi halfway, and found a cure for the plague, but he showed his face in front of His Majesty and made a great contribution. This time, Gu Huaizhong's breath was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't swallow it.

Returning home in a daze, he was greeted by a smiling Liu Yue, "Master Hou is back?" She greeted him diligently and said with a smile.

Gu Huaizhong took a deep look at her and stared at Liu Yue coldly, her smile froze on her face.

"What's the matter? Lord Hou, but is there something in the court that bothers you?" Liu Yue hurriedly asked softly.

"It's fine if the matter in the court upsets Ben Hou." Gu Huaizhong sneered, "I'm afraid it's the matter in this family that upsets Ben Hou!"

Liu Yue was startled, nothing at home has been going on recently, except for the lack of food and the plague outside. Besides, every household is now running out of food, and the plague outside is not just the Dingyuan Hou family. What's wrong? Or is there something wrong with her... Liu Yue's heart sank, wouldn't he have noticed something about that incident...
