As He Yunjie expected, the Queen Mother and He Pingchuan finally agreed to Chu Zhao's third condition.

Although they were reluctant to let He Yunjie enter the cell, they wanted to end the confrontation quickly and let King Jingnan and his wife do what they should do.

Chu Zhao knew in her heart that the current result was the best she could do, so she stopped entangled and asked the emperor to hand over the next matter to Feng Guanlan, He Pingchuan's dismissed position, and important positions in various departments. , replaced them on the spot with officials they had selected long ago to ensure that the court would no longer be ruled by the He family in the future.

Those impeached officials have all suspended their duties and are preparing to be investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Fang Weixian knew the behavior of these officials very well. With him around, it would be impossible for any of these people to escape unscathed.

Chu Xuan followed Chu Zhao's suggestion and handed over his dragon talisman to Feng Guanlan on the spot, and Feng Guanlan exercised all rights on his behalf. Anyone who dared not follow could be killed first and later punished.

Chu Zhao arranged all this and watched Jin Yuwei take He Yunjie to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Then he entrusted all the remaining matters to Feng Guanlan and rushed to the east of the city with everyone from Tai Hospital to check the epidemic situation.

In fact, she wanted to imprison He Yunjie in Feng Guanlan's Beizhen Fusi, but He Yunjie had a special status and was a relative of the emperor, so Beizhen Fusi was not qualified to imprison him.

Fortunately, Fang Weixian is now a member of their camp, and nothing will go wrong if he is detained in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and watched by Fang Weixian.

When He Yunjie was taken away, he stared at Chu Zhao several times with a complicated expression.

Maybe he never dreamed that a proud man like himself would end up in jail one day, right?

Chu Zhao had no time to make eye contact with him. It is not surprising that such a person who ignores the life and death of the people for his own selfish ends will end up.

Now she is just in jail. When she is done with her work, she will send her grandson to see the King of Hell.

Murong Xiao still had some concerns about sending troops. He was not a fool, and he naturally knew that He Pingchuan had no good intentions when he asked him to send troops.

He was worried that He Pingchuan would trick him, and he was also worried that Chu Zhao was weak in the capital and would be plotted by He Pingchuan.

Although the old fox seemed to be defeated miserably at the moment, the centipede was dead but not stiff, not to mention that the Queen Mother was still here, so the He family could not fall like this.

Chu Zhao took him outside the palace and comforted him nicely, telling him not to worry. He said that he would let Zhang Xingzhou go with him. Zhang Xingzhou was brave and experienced in fighting. With him around, he had a great chance of winning.

As for the He family's dirty tricks, they are nothing more than internal infiltration and external collusion. As long as they are careful and cautious, they don't have much chance of succeeding.

"Just in case, I'll ask Senior Brother Chengfeng to select some martial arts masters and strangers to accompany the prince on the expedition. They can also be of great use at critical moments," Chu Zhao said.

Brother Chengfeng?

Murong Xiao couldn't help but feel sad when he heard her calling her so kindly, and warned her: "I'm not here, you'd better be honest and don't flirt with other men."

Chu Zhao was speechless: "What is the prince thinking? Senior Brother Chengfeng is a monk."

"Not even a monk can do it." Murong Xiao said, "No one can do it, not even Aao."

"..."

Chu Zhaoxin said, you are too lenient, and you are not clairvoyant. Even if I agree to you now, when you leave, what else will I do?

Thinking this way, I solemnly agreed to him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will wait for you in the capital. When you come back victorious, I will send you another big gift to celebrate."

"What kind of gift?" Murong Xiao asked.

Chu Zhao was mysterious and refused to say: "I won't tell you now. If you want to know, just come back to me with your beard and tail intact. If you accidentally die on the battlefield, you will never know."

"..."

Although what he said was not pleasant, Murong Xiao was so moved that his eyes were red.

He knew that Ah Zhao had him in her heart. She must have said this to leave him a thought so that he could come back safely.

"Ah Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely come back. As long as you are still here, I will crawl back to see you." He held Chu Zhao's hand forgetfully and pulled her into his arms tightly. Hug him, "Azhao, you should take care of yourself and wait well for me to come back."

Chu Zhao: "..."

She just said casually, why is this guy still stirring up emotion?

Well, consider it a parting gift!

With this thought, she hugged Murong Xiao back and patted his strong back twice: "My lord, take care, I'll wait for your return."

Murong Xiao's heart suddenly boiled because of her hug, and he whispered in her ear: "Ah Zhao, it will take a few days to prepare food and supplies. Before I leave, let's consummate the marriage, right?"

Chu Zhao: "..."

How long has it been and this guy still wants to consummate the marriage?

What a round ass!

"My lord, are you stupid? I am going to the east of the city to treat the plague. In order to prevent my lord from accidentally getting sick, we are not allowed to see each other again for the next few days."

"Ah?" Murong Xiao was very depressed, but then thought that she might also be infected, and couldn't help but worry, "Then what should you do?"

"It's okay. I'll take precautions. I'm just taking precautions if I don't see the prince." Chu Zhao said, "So I won't see you off when the prince sets off. When you come back, I will prepare good wine to welcome you."

Murong Xiao held her shoulders and looked at her affectionately. A tragic feeling emerged spontaneously: "Okay, I understand. You can go and live. I will come back to see you after I have conquered Beidi."

The two said goodbye reluctantly, and Chu Zhao and everyone from Taiyuan Hospital went straight to Dongcheng.

She was worried that Zhang Xingzhou would not listen to Murong Xiao's instructions, so she sent Aao back to the palace to tell Zhang Xingzhou and also brought General Xiao to help.

Murong Xiao still wanted to stay and discuss the dispatch of troops with other officials, and could not return home for the time being.

Fortunately, the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs have been replaced by people whom Feng Guanlan trusts most. There will be no obstacles in the distribution of armaments and money and food. As long as these two are in place, everything else is a minor problem.

Chu Zhao took a carriage to the east city. Along the way, he saw that most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. The remaining shops selling rice, noodles, food and daily necessities were crowded with people rushing to buy things.

It seems that everyone has heard about the plague in the east of the city.

Fortunately, the capital city has strict inspections, and people without road signs and household registration certificates cannot easily enter the city. Otherwise, there will definitely be refugees infected with the plague sneaking into the city.

Once the epidemic spreads in the city, it will be extremely difficult to control it.

But even so, she couldn't take any chances. Chu Zhao held up the carriage curtain and told Yang Ji'an, the [-] Jinyu guards assigned to her by Feng Guanlan:

"Go and tell the people from the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities to sprinkle white ash everywhere in the city, and go from house to house to inform the people not to go out easily unless there is nothing to do. Fume their houses with mugwort and atractylodes every day. If they find any abnormal conditions in their family members, report them immediately. "

"Yes." Yang Jian took the order, turned his horse's head and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Chu Zhao stopped him again, "Also, put up notices in all shops and all intersections. If anyone takes advantage of this to drive up prices and create panic, no matter how serious the crime is, they will be beheaded."

Yang Ji'an was stunned for a moment, thinking that Princess Jingnan was very tough, even more ruthless than Eunuch Feng.

But he also understands the principle of using heavy codes in troubled times. The more urgent and chaotic the situation, the more thunderous means must be used to shock people's hearts. Blind tolerance has no effect on some unruly people.

He agreed, but did not leave immediately this time, and asked Chu Zhao: "What other instructions does the princess have?"
