On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

"Report! An urgent call from Antai Town, a plague has broken out in the town!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the court immediately exploded.

plague!

The emperor held his hand tightly on the armrest of the dragon chair: "Send it up!"

The chief eunuch hurriedly went down and presented the report. The emperor read it quickly, his fingers trembling slightly.

Plague, this is what no emperor wants to see - such natural disasters are likely to be spread by the people as the emperor's wickedness and punishment from heaven.

He knew in his heart that he was not a holy king, but at least he was determined to be a wise king and spend these decades in peace and stability.

The emperor calmed his mind and glanced at the ministers below: "What do you think?"

The old chief assistant was the first to go out: "Your Majesty, I would like to request an order to go to Antai Town."

The emperor was satisfied, but he still shook his head: "The chief assistant is already old, and he has to work hard along the way. The plague is dangerous, so you should not go."

"Your Majesty, Antai Town is my hometown, and I have no other choice."

The emperor glanced at the prince: "Prince, what do you say?"

"Back to my father," the prince said, "I believe that the plague should not be taken lightly. We should prepare as early as possible. Doctors, medicinal materials, etc. must be prepared quickly. I am willing to make arrangements."

The emperor was pleased: "Okay, then let the prince make unified arrangements."

"My son obeys the order."

The prince glanced at King Yi from the corner of his eye. King Yi was silent and seemed not to have heard anything.

The prince secretly muttered in his heart that this was not like King Yi's behavior. Then he thought again, hehe, he probably felt that the plague was dangerous and did not want to risk his life.

The emperor added: "The chief minister is old and there are many things in the court, so he should stay in the capital."

The old chief minister thought for a moment and took a look at his eldest son, An Cizhou, the minister of household affairs.

An Cizhou immediately understood and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to request an order to go to Antai Town. As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I should cooperate."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, in that case, you will assist the prince, take charge of this matter, prepare all the things, and set off as soon as possible."

"Yes! "

After leaving the court, King Yi returned to the palace. As soon as he stepped down the steps, the prince called him.

"Wing King!"

King Yi turned around with a fake smile on his face: "His Royal Highness."

"You haven't come to court in the past few days. I sent someone to see you and said that you were thinking about not seeing guests. I see you look good today, and I feel relieved."

"Thank you for your concern, Prince. I was thinking about copying scriptures, but I really don't see guests. However, those servants have no rules and have never reported them. If they are said to be your people, they will be seen anyway."

"You and I, brothers, why are you so polite?" The prince smiled slightly, "What do you think of this plague?"

King Yi thought seriously: "This kind of thing should not be neglected. The whole court is watching. If His Highness the Crown Prince has anything of use to my brother, just let me know."

"Okay," the prince tilted his head and saw the sixth prince who came out last.

"Sixth brother."

The Sixth Prince stopped and coughed a few times. The hand holding the umbrella was pale and the veins were slightly raised: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness King Yi."

A contemptuous smile flashed in the prince's eyes: "You are not in good health at all. I will send you a few ginseng plants later."

"I dare not bother Your Highness. I can't help Your Highness. I just hope I won't cause any trouble to Your Highness." The Sixth Prince said respectfully.

King Yi sighed: "Sixth brother was not in good health to begin with, and now he has a heart problem. Your Highness, I'm afraid your ginseng won't be able to cure it."

"Sixth brother attaches great importance to love and affection," the prince said in a cold voice, "I don't think there is anything wrong with this."

King Yi stopped and said, "My brother, please leave."

As soon as he left, the prince's attitude towards the sixth prince became much gentler, and he whispered: "Why are you still not feeling well? Even after taking so many medicines, it doesn't work? What are those imperial doctors used for?"

"It's not their fault, it's my brother's fault."

The prince let out a long sigh and walked slowly with him: "Is there still no news from King Zhennan?"

"Not yet," the sixth prince lowered his eyes, "My younger brother is also worried about Changhe. The Huo family has been exiled for so many days, and I don't know what the situation is."

The prince patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry too much. I will send people to search again. When I find him, I will ask him about the situation and I will clear his grievances."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Don't thank me. If you need anything, just send someone to inform me. You're welcome."

"Yes."

The Sixth Prince walked away slowly and walked into the rain alone.

The gentleness in the prince's eyebrows faded away, and he became cold and ruthless - I thought that Huo Changhe had a close relationship with the sixth prince, and to win over him was to win over Huo Changhe, but something went wrong. Huo Changhe was convicted and his whereabouts are unknown. The sixth prince was accused of telling the Huo family Qing was also reprimanded.

He had no status in the first place, but now he is even more invisible.

The prince turned around and ordered: "If the Sixth Prince sends someone, just say that I am not here."

"Yes."

What's the use of a piece of trash?

As soon as King Yi returned to the palace, he sent several of his confidants to the streets to find out information.

It didn't take long for his men to come back in a hurry.

"Back to your lord, the East Palace has sent several groups of people to purchase medicines to treat the plague, but they have all failed."

King Yi sneered - of course, he had spent tens of thousands of taels to buy up the medicinal materials in the capital little by little.

"Keep an eye on the East Palace. If you have any news, come and report to me immediately."

"Yes."

Three days later, not only King Yi, but also the entire court received news that the prince was ill.

The emperor was angry and King Yi was overjoyed.

Soon, homing pigeons flew out of the capital.

It rained continuously in Antai Town for seven days.

Yan Ruyu was teaching Yin Ingot how to make soup when Huo Changhe came over with a small letterbox.

"Any news?"

"He's from the capital. The prince is ill and unable to manage the plague. Prince Yi asked for help. Not only is he in charge of the matter, but he also wants to come personally."

Yan Ruyu sneered: "The prince is so good, why did he get sick? Why would he choose to give up such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds at such a time?"

"He doesn't want to, but there is nothing he can do about it. The pharmacies in the capital have sold out the medicines to treat the epidemic. The medicines from Taiyuan Hospital alone are simply not enough, not to mention that Taiyuan Hospital is still based on the imperial palace."

"The prince couldn't buy the medicinal materials and couldn't do the first thing, so he had to fall ill."

Yan Ruyu was a little confused: "Is this such a difficult thing?"

Huo Changhe lowered his voice: "The prince has great ambitions but little talent. Since the assassination of the East Palace think tank last year, he has been more eager to pursue short-term gains... If not for the imperial concubine, I am afraid he will make mistakes again and again."

Yan Ruyu was noncommittal. She was not interested in other people. The most suspicious person now was King Yi. Since King Yi is here, let's just settle the matter in Antai Town.

"Then let's wait for him here." Yan Ruyu gently stirred the soup pot, "Prepare a big gift for His Highness King Yi."

That night, the rain gradually stopped.

The eldest lady and Huo Changheng had already fallen asleep. Yan Ruyu was busy in the space for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, she picked a few red fruits and exited.

She quietly changed into neat clothes and tied up her hair. As soon as she finished tidying up, someone knocked lightly on the window.

Yan Ruyu opened the door and went out. Huo Changhe smiled slightly and said, "Are you ready?"

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them had just jumped onto the roof when Yan Ruyu turned around and saw a shadow quietly coming out.

With a slender shadow, he walked lightly, looking around for no one, and carefully entered the place where the officials stored dry food.

It's Kui Niang.

She couldn't go out these days, and she didn't have much food on her body. What she ate every day had to be counted as "mouth".

In the past two days, there was no food left at all. I tried hard to find the eldest lady twice, but the eldest lady only gave it to Rui Geer, and had to watch Rui Geer finish eating, and didn't give it to her at all.

With no choice, she had no choice but to take the risk and steal.

Everyone else had plenty to eat, but she could only steal the coarse-grain steamed buns originally distributed by the officials.

But she had no idea that Yan Ruyu had long seen her acting like a rat.
