Early the next morning, Su Qingyu came out of her room. The victims in the entire epidemic area were talking loudly about the black-clothed killer discovered by the Imperial Army in the bamboo forest.
"In my opinion, the heroine in white must have come out to save everyone again!"
"I think so. I saw with my own eyes that a bamboo pole stained with blood was taken away by the Imperial Army."
"Fortunately, the heroine in white is here, otherwise when those men in black sneak into our epidemic area, everyone will be in danger right now."
"Let me tell you, Princess Ling and the heroine in white can be called the most powerful women in the capital! One heals diseases and saves people, and the other protects everyone secretly!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't forget that Prince Ling's palace was assassinated some time ago, and Jingzhao's palace concluded that it was the heroine in white who was responsible."
"You also believe this..."
...
"Good morning, Princess Ling!"
"Princess, you worked hard until midnight last night, why don't you get some more rest today!"
"Yeah, you should get more rest."
Su Qingyu put on her hood and came to the crowd.
"Good morning everyone, has everyone taken today's medicine?"
"Drink, drink, the medicine has been delivered to everyone before dawn this morning!"
"Princess, I heard from Dr. Shen that you came up with this prescription? You are so amazing. After I took this bowl of medicine, I felt much better."
"Yes, yesterday I was still lying down with pain all over my body, but today I can already come out to bask in the sun."
"Thank you, Princess, for saving my life!"
I don't know who started it. The victims who were sunbathing outside were about to kneel down one by one. Su Qingyu was so frightened that she quickly stopped them.
"Everyone, the snowy ground is wet and cold. We are finally feeling better after a lot of effort. But don't let the small things cost you the big things!"
"Besides, this prescription was developed by all the doctors together, not just me!"
"If you want to thank us, you should recover quickly and get back on your feet, so that you can have the strength to rebuild your home!"
After saying these words, all the victims felt very happy, and their eyes looking at Su Qingyu were full of emotion and gratitude.
After checking the pulses of several of them, Su Qingyu turned to look for Shen Huaide.
When Shen Huaide finished listening to Su Qingyu's analysis, he was shocked.
"Princess Ling, do you mean that the victims were not infected with the plague, but were poisoned?"
Su Qingyu nodded: "Don't you find it strange, Mr. Shen? These infected patients were all victims who were waiting to receive porridge at the porridge shed from that day, and almost all of them had symptoms only from that time."
"Many of them will die quickly because they have been injured or have underlying diseases. But more people are poisoned by the poison that invades their internal organs little by little, and then they lose their vitality little by little."
Shen Huaide slowly sat back and murmured: "That's true."
"Since that day, no one else has been infected again. At that time, I thought it was the effect of the mask. But now it seems as you said, this is not a plague at all, but someone deliberately poisoning!"
"Who is it that has such a vicious heart that he won't even spare the people who have suffered the disaster?"
Su Qingyu looked outside the door. The wind and snow had stopped long ago.
Under the bright sun, many victims were chatting and basking in the sun outside, looking peaceful.
"Master Shen, I think we should go into the palace."
Su Qingyu left immediately. After the guards arranged the carriage, she and Shen Huaide arrived at the palace gate.
However, when he arrived at the palace gate, he was blocked from entering.
The guards guarding the palace gate were all wearing masks. At this moment, they were covering their noses with their sleeves and took two steps back.
"Master Shen, it's not that we won't let you in, but Concubine Hui has an order that people who have entered the epidemic area are not allowed to enter the palace again!"
Shen Huaide was a little angry: "We have something important to report to His Majesty. If it delays the official business, can you afford it?"
The guard remained motionless: "Master Shen, you should go back first. Without Concubine Hui's order, my subordinates would not dare to let you in!"
Su Qingyu has finally seen how selfish Concubine Hui is, so it's no wonder that Prince An is such a mercenary villain.
"Princess Ling, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter this palace gate today."
Su Qingyu sneered: "I don't know since when did Concubine Hui even have the right to enter and exit the palace gate?"
The guard's expression changed and he hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Princess Ling. Your Majesty personally ordered Concubine Hui to take over this matter."
"What if I let her in?"
A soft female voice sounded behind Su Qingyu, causing her to subconsciously look behind her.
Jiang Lanyin was seen walking over gently and gently in a long white dress embroidered with gold. She didn't seem to be afraid at all of Su Qingyu and Shen Huaide who came out of the epidemic area.
"Let Princess Ling and Master Shen go in. I will explain to Concubine Hui."
The guards looked at each other and finally had to get out of the way because of Jiang Lan's relationship with Concubine Hui.
Su Qingyu smiled gratefully at Jiang Lanyin: "Thank you very much, Miss Jiang. I will remember this favor today."
Jiang Lanyin also smiled back: "Princess Ling has been working day and night in the epidemic area to treat victims. I'm just doing it for you. If you thank me, aren't you making fun of me?"
"Okay, since you have business, go in first."
Su Qingyu was slightly stunned, always feeling that Jiang Lanyin was a very strange woman.
After entering the palace gate as she was told, she discovered that Jiang Lanyin had also entered the palace with her.
But she was heading towards the harem, presumably to explain to Concubine Hui why she let them in?
When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Su Qingyu and Shen Huaide were quickly called in by Emperor Ming.
Su Qingyu understood that Emperor Ming did not let them in because he trusted her medical skills, but because he believed in Shen Huaide's medical skills and character, so he was so relieved.
"What happened to deserve the two of you to enter the palace together? Could it be that the plague has changed again?"
Shen Huaide looked at Su Qingyu and realized that the princess had no intention of explaining.
She was not afraid, but wanted the credit to fall on him.
Shen Huaide was so grateful that he could only tell Emperor Ming what Su Qingyu had said to him on the way.
After Emperor Ming heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.
Until the eunuch's announcement sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, Princess Tuoba and the envoy of Western Chu are requesting an interview."
Emperor Ming then relaxed: "Let them wait."
He turned to stare at Su Qingyu, who had been silent all this time: "Princess Ling, was it you who discovered that the plague was not a plague, but was poisoned by someone?"
Su Qingyu did not deny: "Yes."
"That bamboo forest is a certain distance from the epidemic area. Why did Princess Ling suddenly want to go to the bamboo forest, and how did she escape?"
