next day
Under Xi Duanhong's orderly arrangements, these refugees have been properly resettled, and everyone is fully prepared.
"Miss." Ji Yu came over and said respectfully to Xi Duanhong: "The child has been quiet since he woke up, but he is very vigilant and refuses to eat more."
Xi Duanhong rubbed his eyebrows: I’m tired...
"Come on, take me over there and take a look."
The two came to the resettlement site and saw the child sitting on the roadside blankly, observing the surroundings with the same vigilance as last night.
"Miss, I'm worried..."
"I know," Xi Duanhong interrupted him and said seriously: "He is not from Daqi, or he may have a conspiracy that is detrimental to us. I have thought about all these, but Ji Yu, have you ever thought about it. "
"No child is born bad. If you guide him carefully, how can he go astray?"
"Yes, I understand."
Xi Duanhong ignored him and walked towards the child, smiling and saying: "What are you doing, Sanlang? Is today's meal satisfactory?"
As soon as he saw Xi Duanhong's little face, he immediately turned red with embarrassment and said, "Yes."
Xi Duanhong looked at Ji Yu behind him, "Has anyone seen it?"
"Well, the kid is fine."
"Sanlang, yesterday you said you didn't have a name, how about I give you one?" Xi Duanhong looked at Ji Yu with a smile and rolled his eyes, "Just call me Zishu. How about you take my last name?"
"good."
Xi Duanhong took Xi Zishu's hand and said, "Let this brother take you to take a bath and change clothes, and then you can follow me."
"It's Miss."
After Xi Zishu was coaxed, Xi Duanhong slowly looked around. There were simply not enough manpower here, and he didn't know when someone from Kyoto would be sent.
——
Xu Zhi hurriedly returned to Kyoto. The first thing he did was to find his master and tell the truth about the matter.
Ouyang Zhu was sitting in the sacred cave enjoying the flowers and relieving his sorrows. When he saw Xu Zhi coming back, his eyes turned cold.
"My lord, my lady encountered a large number of refugees when passing through Yizhou. They were fleeing from Li'an and were suffering from epidemic diseases."
"Is she still in Yizhou now?"
"yes."
"What happened?" Qing Wu Jiutian came out of the house slowly in a light pink lace skirt and handed Ouyang Zhu a cup of scented tea, "You are covered in sweat, something happened to Miss Xi?"
Ouyang Zhu took the scented tea and said, "Well, she met the refugees from Li'an. These people are infected with the epidemic. It seems that something big is going to happen in Li'an."
"Isn't this the scene that the one in the harem wants to see?" After saying that, he said to Xu Zhi, "Xiao Zhi'er, please go down first."
"My subordinates resign."
Ouyang Zhu put the scented tea aside and said, "I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit in a moment. This matter is strange. You can go with me after His Majesty agrees."
"You can go, but what will happen here if you leave? There can't be someone to take charge of the overall situation. Wouldn't it be natural if you leave Tan Yanxian?"
"I have my own arrangements."
Ouyang Zhu stood up and left. Qingwu Jiutian reluctantly put the scented tea in her hand with his and turned around to leave.
——Yangxin Hall
After Emperor Jingyuan learned of the incident, he immediately summoned the third prince Cheng Songnian.
Cheng Songnian is one of the most prestigious imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital. When he learned that it was an epidemic, he knew that this matter was of great importance and related to the fate of the country.
Cheng Songnian looked old but could not tell. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have asked you to go and bring several other imperial doctors to support you."
"I agree," he said, looking at Mu Feng again, "Third brother, you will escort the materials and other supplies without making any mistakes!"
"My son, take your orders."
Emperor Jingyuan saw Ouyang Zhu sitting aside and remained silent, "National Master?"
"Your Majesty, Liren Pass is Daqi's most important line of defense. Now that something like this has happened, please send your majesty to send his trusted followers to investigate."
Emperor Jingyuan rubbed his tired brows worriedly, "How come I don't know, but with the current internal and external troubles, who else can make me believe..."
"..."
Everyone fell silent for a while
"Your Majesty, if there is really no one available, send someone to offer sacrifices to the concubine. There may be someone who can help Your Majesty somewhere."
Everyone looked at each other, who didn't know that the master of the Sacrifice Pavilion, Xin Ruohan Bing, was a murderous monster. If he didn't get what he wanted, he would move in and out.
But he couldn't care about that much at the moment. Emperor Jingyuan immediately ordered the third prince to go
After leaving the Yangxin Hall, the sad look on Ouyang Zhu's face really made him feel helpless: no one in this court could be trusted, only a few loyal ministers could not take on big things, and the rest were just people who could not be promoted. wall grass
——Sacrifice Pavilion Ghost Cave
"We will help the third prince when he asks for it, but the third prince should also know that you need to pay for the work you ask the concubine to do."
The person in front of you is dressed in white, holding a folding fan and turning his face away. It makes people think that he must be a modest gentleman who has read poetry and books. However, with such a terrifying mask covering his face, no matter how modest a gentleman he is, he looks different.
Mu Feng stood with his hands behind his hands. Although he came to ask for help, as a prince, the pride in his bones refused to be easily lowered: "Fifty thousand silver notes are used as a deposit. If the matter is fulfilled, there will be a large sum of money to thank you. Sir, please tell me." Lord, please take care of this."
"..."
"Why are you hesitating? Your Highness is so sincere, why should you refuse?"
As soon as he finished speaking, standing outside the door was the master of the Sacrificial Concubine Pavilion, with a bone-eroding chill emanating from all over his body.
When Mu Feng saw this person for the first time, he felt incredulous, but he still saluted him politely, "This must be the master of the Pavilion of Sacrifice Concubines. I am being disrespectful."
"Please help me with what I just said."
"I see you, your lord."
"I will help you with this matter. Your Highness, please come back."
"Thank you very much."
Watching Mu Feng leave, the man in white took off his mask. It was Chen Shuli, the elder of the ghost cave.
"Sir, why did you agree to this?"
Ouyang Zhu took off his mask and let go of his anger, and sat lazily on the couch, "Don't ask too much about this matter. Fei Ge sent a letter to Qing Yi and asked him to go to Li Ren Guan. This matter is very important. May you succeed."
"Something happened at Li Renguan?" Chen Shuli almost exclaimed, and then returned to his original expression with some worry, "Zhu, it's already very dangerous for you to be the national master, and now you are letting people from the royal family in. In this concubine, the three princes are the smartest, and sooner or later he will doubt what happened today."
"You have good intentions, but they don't think so. How can you escape when the incident comes to light?"
"Tsk." Ouyang Zhu picked his ears impatiently and said coldly: "Xiao Li'er, why are you still so like an old woman? You have to worry about everything, whether you are tired or not."
"I?"
Chen Shuli shut his mouth in extreme helplessness. He was the first of the four princes and was recognized as the most gentle, elegant and easy-going. If others saw him like this, their jaws would definitely drop.
Ouyang Zhu stood up and came to Chen Shuli's side and paused, "Today you arrange for people to follow Xu Zhi to Yizhou first. Things there are urgent."
"good."
