Ever since Cuixuzi started raining, it has not stopped raining for three days and three nights.

The previous rain only fell in the mountainous areas of Tangzhou and was not enough to alleviate the dryness. This time Cuixuzi's rain was different. It rained over a large area. The entire arid land from Tangzhou to Xuzhou and Henan were moistened by the rain. .

The news of the rain spread by the gods spread like wildfire, and the people said that it was King Xi's concern for the country and love for the people that moved God, and he was favored by the gods.

The cracked fields are healed and moist, and the dry rivers are filled with water. The people of Henan are rejoicing. When the rain stops, they can start plowing in spring, and the drought is finally over.

At the same time, Tangzhou’s fight against the epidemic has been very successful.

Under the leadership of the victims who returned home to Tangzhou, rats and fleas were eliminated in large numbers, and those infected were assigned to isolation and standardized treatment.

Chen Yuhui also developed a cotton mask with built-in borax for sterilization, which can be boiled for half an hour to sterilize.

The number of new cases is obviously decreasing. As long as everyone unites and works together, the plague will also be defeated.

The eyes of the people of Tangzhou were full of hope. They regarded King Xi, Shen Qin, Weng Ling and others as their saviors.

However, everyone around King Xi and Shen Qin could tell that the two were at odds.

Shen Qin was usually a gentle person, but now she was shunned by King Xi and as cold as frost.

King Xi later had a high fever for two days. Shen Qin prescribed medicine to King Xi, but did not visit him because he was busy fighting the epidemic.

Even if King Xi asked someone to invite him, Shen Qin would just go through the motions and leave with a few perfunctory words.

On the third day, the imperial city official came in person to deliver the emperor's decree.

The activity officer first went to the military camp and after asking around, he found out that Bai Yu had contracted the plague and had gone to a mountain village for "quarantine". He then managed to find Bai Yu and gave him the following secret order:

"Immediately return to the capital from Tangzhou, secretly arrest Su Mu, and escort him back to the capital."

After receiving the secret order, Bai Yu returned to the military camp. He originally planned to devise a plan to capture Su Mu, but when he arrived, he was surprised to find that General Tang had already locked Su Mu in a prison car and was waiting to be escorted back to Beijing.

Then, the Imperial City Affairs Officer sent another oral instruction to King Xi, which ordered him to return to Beijing immediately. However, instead of being escorted back to Beijing, he was asked to return to Beijing with the Imperial City Affairs Officer.

When they were leaving, the people of the whole city lined up in a long queue, standing on both sides of the road, watching King Xi to express their gratitude. Only Shen Qin did not come, and only sent the golden soft armor and returned it to King Xi.

However, Li Yunxi still opened the curtains in the carriage and looked again and again, but after all, Shen Qin was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Fuzi, who was sitting opposite Li Yunxi, said.

"Doctor Shen is still angry. Your Highness, you have to find a way to coax him!"

"It would be better if he was angry."

Li Yunxi sighed deeply, his eyes were lonely, and he sighed.

"He feels that my love for him will harm the common people, so he would rather not have it."

Li Yunxi stretched out his hand out of the window and caught the cold rainwater with his palms, tears already filling his eyes.

"Saints are ruthless, this king is..."

He clenched his hand and watched the crystal water droplets falling from his fingers. He sighed after a long time.

"Can't catch him."

……

……

A few days later, when Chen Yugui and Shen Qin were discussing and planning Henan's water conservancy, another imperial decree came down.

Chen Yugui and Shen Qin were ordered to return to Beijing quickly because there were sporadic cases of pimple plague in the capital.

After Shen Qin returned to Beijing and returned to the court, she discovered that many major events had happened in the past few days.

The first major event was that Su Mu was poisoned on his way back to Beijing.

The second major event was that the prince was deposed and placed under house arrest in the palace.

Returning to the Taiyuan Hospital, Shen Qin learned from Xiao Qingkou the reason why the prince was deposed.

Si Tianjian raised some officials, citing ominous celestial phenomena and drought in many places, to propose to Emperor Kangxi that he move to Jinglian Temple to pray for all people.

Emperor Kang didn't believe in Buddhism, and because of the Taikang Mountain case, he was so frightened that he didn't want to leave the palace at all, but he had to show off, so he followed Si Tianjian's suggestion and asked Concubine Shu to go on his behalf.

After Concubine Shu went to Jinglian Temple, she disappeared. The Ministry of Punishment started an investigation and concluded that a monk saw Concubine Shu leaving the temple with her maid from the backyard.

Therefore, Emperor Kang suspected that Concubine Shu had been taken away by King Xi who was deliberately treasonous.

However, just one day after Concubine Shu disappeared, the Imperial City Secretariat secretly returned to Beijing. He went to the palace to meet the emperor and explained to Emperor Kangxi the truth about King Xi's rebellion-it was because Su Mu led his troops to kill King Xi, and King Xi had no choice but to do so. Gathering troops to defend the city.

Emperor Kang was shocked, and at the same time he was a little doubtful. After all, many people said that King Xi had rebelled. At this time, Eunuch Zhang proposed to thoroughly investigate the case of Concubine Shu's disappearance.

Mu Ci took the initiative to ask for orders to investigate the case.

Soon, Mu Ci arrested the fake monks of Jinglian Temple, dug up the female body buried in the temple, and everything came to light.

It turned out that all the monks in the temple had asked the prince to be replaced by one of their own in advance.

The fake monk found an opportunity to kill Concubine Shu and her maid when she came to the temple to worship.

The guards who heard the commotion at the door were also coerced and lured by the prince's group, and no one dared to tell the truth.

After Emperor Kang learned the truth, Long Wei was furious and finally issued an edict to depose the prince.

Many people were involved in this matter, including the Si Tianjian who proposed to let Concubine Shu leave the palace. All the courtiers who had evil intentions, teamed up with the prince to frame King Xi, and deceived the emperor were severely punished.

Even the imperial master who agreed with Si Tianjian's promotion of officials at that time was fined thirty times by Emperor Kangxi.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment who failed to investigate the truth were all punished by the emperor, and Li Si, who was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, was also reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi.

Surprisingly, just when Emperor Kang was preparing to hold a funeral for Concubine Shu, Mu Ci actually took Concubine Shu into the palace.

It turned out that when King Xi left the capital, he was worried that something might happen to his mother and concubine, so he prepared a substitute for her, and specifically told his mother and concubine that if she went out of the palace to do business, she must not go there in person, but must use a substitute. If she found that something was wrong, he would Just take refuge in a pre-arranged residence.

So the real concubine Shu disguised herself as an ordinary peasant woman and hid secretly outside the temple. When she saw that no one inside came out for a long time, she knew something was wrong.

King Xi arranged a guard for her to take her to her residence. However, during the process of finding the way, the guard became seriously ill and suffered from stomachache. Afterwards, medical treatment failed and he died.

Before dying, the guard told Concubine Shu her address, but Concubine Shu had suffered a serious illness and her brain was not working well, so she forgot the address.

She asked around but couldn't find the place. Fortunately, she found Dali Temple later. After many twists and turns, she returned to the palace.

If Concubine Shu had gone to her residence earlier and been brought into the palace by Mu Ci earlier, perhaps King Xi would not have been successfully framed for treason by those people.

All I can say is that, after all calculations, something will eventually be missed.

After Xiaoqing finished saying these words, her mouth was dry and she took a sip of tea before speaking.

"The Tang general exposed all the crimes committed by Su Mu and the princelings. His Highness King Xi said some kind words for him, saved his life, and was sentenced to exile. Bai Yu was fined by the emperor for neglecting his duties. Penalty."

"In any case, after this incident, His Highness King Xi's opponents in the court have been basically eliminated, and he has gained military prestige and popular support."

Shen Qin sighed softly.

"It's a pity that we still couldn't bring down King Song. He was the mastermind behind it. There should have been insiders of King Song in the army. After Su Mu failed, he killed and silenced him."

"King Song is so scary, Rong'er...Rong'er was beaten to death by the prince in the East Palace..."

Speaking of this, Xiaoqing choked up. She and Ronger worked for King Xi together and had a good relationship.

Shen Qin clenched his fists, with hatred flashing in his eyes.

"Shen will let him get his comeuppance."

Xiaoqing said again.

"By the way, the old couple who went to Beijing to petition were finally released after being imprisoned by Li Yi for more than ten years. Liu He was sentenced to death and Li Yi was imprisoned in a sky jail because of this case. However, recently, I heard that the illness was serious, and the imperial doctor went to see him, but he couldn’t explain the cause.”

After hearing this, Shen Qin smiled lightly.

"Really? Then Shen, let's go take a look."
