Jincheng has finally returned to its former prosperity. The streets are crowded with people and lively. There are hawkers, walking merchants, and various shops have opened their doors for business.
An Xiyue has been taking care of the sick at the inn for a few days, and today she can finally come out for a breath of fresh air. These days, she has become Nangong Yuanyi's dedicated doctor, but all the work she does is done by a maid, serving tea and water, and even An Xiyue sneered at tidying up his clothes and eating with him, thinking that although his injury was not caused by her, he was her savior after all, so she didn't care about him.
An Xiyue had sworn a long time ago that she would repay kindness and revenge, and she would live with a clear heart and clear eyesight in this life. Suddenly, she felt that her idea slapped her hard in the mouth. She must not eat randomly or speak randomly. But it was not good to be in debt all the time. After thinking about it, An Xiyue compromised and asked him to get rid of the ant poison, and then they would be settled.
An Xiyue has been wandering around for several months, and her mood has changed and she has become much more open-minded.
Nangong Yuanyi's followers seemed to disappear selectively from time to time, and no one was seen after being out for a whole day. An Xiyue thought about when his followers would become busy people.
What An Xiyue saw most at Nangong Yuanyi's place were the officials who were coming in and out. Li Zheng was the most diligent. The heavy task of reorganizing Jincheng also fell on the new prefect Li Zheng. An Xiyue saw with his own eyes that Li Zheng was so busy that he couldn't even put on his clothes. My feet were dusty but not touching the ground, and I started to feel the wind when I walked.
Every decision made by Nangong Yuanyi did not avoid An Xiyue. She thought that Nangong Yuanyi must trust her extremely, and she felt something different in her heart.
The worst thing was that Xu Wei's house was ransacked again, and many silver notes and gold ingots were confiscated out of thin air. The amount was not small. This should have been contributed by Ma Dachuan and Nangong Yuanyi after Xu Wei was brought back to Jincheng. In the end, it was decided to report everything but not hand it over. Jincheng had just won an epidemic war and needed a lot of money to restore Jincheng's economy.
Li Zheng also knew that Nangong Yuanyi's decision was illegal, and secretly worried the prince. If anyone in the court resisted, the origin and destination of the money would be unclear, and he would be criticized.
Unexpectedly, just after the emperor's return to the capital procession had just left the gate of Jincheng, the new prefect posted a high-profile announcement: "According to the emperor's decree, Jincheng will reduce taxes for three years. Those who are registered as households with financial difficulties can go to the government office to receive disaster relief." One tael of silver. Anyone who has died in the family due to this illness will receive 2 taels. The family members of any soldiers who died in battle can go to the government office to order a pension of five taels. Any male in the family who is over 16 years old can sign up to join the army. Check Those who pass the test can each receive a bonus of five taels..."
Li Zheng posted this imperial list, and people all over Jincheng immediately spread the news. In just an hour, it became a household name, and the whole city of Jincheng was excited.
People came out one after another to find out whether it was true or not, and some people even talked about it. They saw noble people coming out of the palace built by the government, acting very low-key, and showing nobility.
Some scholars secretly captured the words of the new prefect, "I have received an order from the emperor. The emperor is far away in the horizon. Where did the order come from?" Suddenly, everyone was shocked. Could it be that the person who came out of the official palace was the current emperor? The emperor came to Jincheng and realized the situation. It was Jincheng. Everyone was so grateful for this blessing that they all knelt down towards the city gate and shouted three times, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
When the team that had just left heard the movement in Jincheng, they also stopped their carriage. The emperor actually handed Jincheng over to Nangong Yuanyi to take care of the aftermath. Naturally, he believed in him extremely.
Nangong Hao had no choice but to escort the emperor back to the capital. He rode all the way and frowned tightly when he heard the noise. He secretly wondered what Nangong Yuanyi was up to. However, he couldn't be too focused as he followed the emperor back to the capital. When it comes to matters in Jincheng, filial piety and the emperor's safety are the most important.
Accompanying him back to the capital were Prime Minister Lin and Lin Jingxian. Prime Minister Lin had suffered a stroke and had to return to the capital for recuperation as soon as possible. He had suffered a stroke due to anger, and Lin Jingxian was waiting beside him. She heard that Crown Prince Nangong was seriously injured, and she had not had a chance to see him yet. After one glance, he hurried back to Beijing, feeling very depressed. He didn't say a few words along the way and was absent-minded.
Lin Ji has also disappeared, and Prime Minister Lin is not in a hurry to find him. He probably has no hope for this direct grandson. There are many descendants in the Lin family, and if one of them is not worthy of success, he will train the next one. Prime Minister Lin has never thought that he will He sent Lin Ji to the military camp for training, but he didn't expect that he would develop like this. Could it be that he was just coaxing him to play with him when he was usually sensible and well-behaved? Lin Xiangfei was so angry that he almost exploded.
…
On this day, the sun was abundant and there were mottled tree shadows on the ground. An Xiyue walked on the gravel road towards Nangong Yuanyi's study. Because there were many things, Li Zheng set up an independent study in the official office. It is convenient for Nangong Yuanyi to recover from his injuries. Secondly, it is convenient for him to communicate with the prince. In fact, it is more convenient for working.
An Xiyue had been hurriedly meeting with him in the past few days to check the recovery of the wound, and then he went back to work.
An Xiyue went to Ma Dachuan's mansion and heard that after Ma Dachuan's death, Ma's aunts and servants evacuated Ma's mansion. Mrs. Ma was inherently fierce, but she could not stop her aunts from escaping. Madam's road to wealth has been cut off, and most of Ma's money, related to Xu Wei, has been confiscated. Madam Ma suddenly fell from heaven to hell. She couldn't accept it for a while, and suddenly went crazy. She didn't want to leave Ma at all costs. Mansion. People who had been good friends with Ma Fu in the past all avoided her, thinking that without the head of Ma Fu, everyone could step on her, which drove Mrs. Ma crazy.
After seeing her, An Xiyue checked her pulse. She had a mental problem. When she would get better, it depended on whether she could think about it.
An Xiyue asked about Li Yun'er's whereabouts again, and Mrs. Ma seemed very frightened.
Seeing that she was crazy, An Xiyue didn't ask further. This was the old residence of Li Mansion after all. An Xiyue thought that Li Yun'er was so obsessed that she might come back, so she left a letter in Li Yun'er's yard and pressed it on her dresser. On stage. She made a special mark. Li Yun'er had left it for her to arrange a special pattern with flowers. If Li Yun'er saw it, he would take the initiative to come to her.
Nangong Yuanyi's injury gradually improved. After a few days of treatment, he seemed to be more energetic. However, due to the torment of ant poison, he looked even thinner. An Xiyue felt a little distressed when he saw it. From the time she got along with him, Over the past few days, An Xiyue has discovered that Nangong Yuanyi is decisive, resolute, and serious in his work. He is completely unlike the playboy he was in Kyoto, which is awe-inspiring.
Most of the officials who came and went had met An Xiyue and knew that he was a doctor. However, although An Xiyue had returned to his original appearance, he was still dressed in men's clothing.
When everyone saw An Xiyue standing in the courtyard, they all greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Doctor An. I'm here to check the prince's injury again."
