Chapter 196 The hot discussion brought about by the hot air balloon

When the news came that 'the princess has flown away', the entire Shen family fell into a state of panic.

Jiang could do nothing but cry, as if Shen Dongsu was dead.

Zhongyang didn't allow her to leave the room, and originally asked Xiaoman to take care of her, bring her tea, water, and a handkerchief.

As a result, Mrs. Jiang always pinched Xiao Man when no one was around. Xiao Man remained silent because he thought Xiao Man was dull. Xiao Man talked too much because he thought Xiao Man talked too much.

Xiao Man laughed and scolded Xiao Man Dongsu for causing an accident, but you still laughed!

Xiaoman didn't smile and scolded Xiaoman for looking depressed. Dongsu's good luck was ruined by her depression!

Father Shen couldn't stand hearing it and asked Xiaoman to go back to his room. Warned Mr. Jiang in a very stern tone:

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being inhumane! Now our Shen family has an ancestral hall!"

Mrs. Jiang was shocked: "You heartless person! Do you still want to imprison me in the ancestral hall?"

Zhongyang said in a deep voice: "Mother, my sister is the princess, and it concerns the royal family. If what you say is reported to the court, our whole family will not survive!"

"Don't think I'm scaring you. We've all learned it in the academy. It's a crime of disrespect, but it means confiscating your home and exterminating your clan!"

Of course Zhongyang was trying to scare Mrs. Jiang. Fortunately, he really scared her and she no longer dared to scream nonsense.

Grandpa Shen and Xiaohu had been sitting on the front porch of the gate, looking at the avenue in front of the door, waiting for Lin Zhong to come back.

It was windy and cold, so Xiaohu persuaded Grandpa Shen to go back: "Master, I'll wait here. You go in first. It's time to cough again in the evening after the wind blows."

Grandpa Shen touched his head and said in a low voice: "Sister Dongsu asked someone to deliver antitussive medicine before winter came. I don't have a cough now."

Thinking of Dongsu, Grandpa Shen's heart tightened. My dear Dongsu, please don't let anything happen!

Shen Linzhong came back two days later. He first went to the Wangfu Courtyard to find Butler Liu, but Butler Liu did not have accurate information.

The two of them ran to the county seat together. The county magistrate knew that the wrong letter had been sent and quickly apologized, but he didn't know the specific situation.

Then, the three of them went to Yizhou City together...

Fortunately, he got the exact news this time. When Shen Linzhong came home, he felt that his grandfather had aged a lot in two days.

My father didn't even have prosthetics, so he just sat on the porch and looked at the door. My mother was still crying, but she was in good spirits.

Fortunately, Da Yu and his second aunt were here, and Da Mai and Da Lian also came to cook and encourage everyone to eat.

For the Shen family, these two days are longer than two years.

It wasn't until Shen Linzhong appeared in front of the door on horseback that the family became alive and they all ran out to ask for news.

After a while, many villagers also gathered at the door of Shen's house, waiting to hear the news.

Then I heard Shen Linzhong tell the great news. The princess went to Yangzhou to treat the plague. There was a special medicine, and the plague was gone soon.

As for the news about ‘flying in the sky’, it is a misinformation!

It wasn’t the princess who flew into the sky, it was the princess who made a giant Kongming Lantern that could hold people and fly in the sky!

Suddenly, the whole village was boiling. No, it should be said that the whole Guangzhou City was boiling.

Flying to heaven! This is a method that only gods can use.

The princess can actually create a flying artifact! We in Gwangju are worthy of having outstanding people, and we have such a powerful person as the princess.

When it came to the Shen family, they didn't pay much attention to the flying artifact. They were relieved when they heard that Dong Su was safe.

The one who was most excited about the flying thing was Lu Yunzhou. He once again encouraged Da Yu to leave home, but this time he didn't follow him to the master's door.

Instead, he was asked to go to Jiangnan to find Princess Ling. Lu Yunzhou couldn't wait for a moment, he couldn't wait to see the flying artifact immediately!

But if he went by himself, let alone see the princess, he would probably be captured by the imperial army before he even got close.

But it would be the same if Da Yu went with him. Who would suspect that he, a fellow countryman from the princess's hometown, was a spy sent by the queen?

It is true that he is not a dedicated spy at all. He has not found any useful information since he arrived in Shenjia Village.

In addition, since the queen went into the cold palace, his online line has been cut off, and he feels that he has an opportunity to escape from the queen's control.

No matter how Lu Yunzhou tried to persuade him, Big Fish remained unmoved. He bluntly said that his parents are old and it is inconvenient to leave home.

Lu Yunzhou quickly thought of another way, which was to persuade Da Mai and Da Lian. First, he said that Da Yu was very skilled, but there were no good masters in Guangzhou.

There are many powerful craftsmen around the princess, especially those who make flying artifacts. If Da Yu can go there, he might even be able to become a minor official in the Ministry of Industry.

There is a much better future than in Gwangju! Regarding their brother's future, the two girls had the same idea and didn't care at all.

It doesn't make any difference whether you are an official or not.

Lu Yunzhou rolled his eyes and then turned to persuade, saying that the princess was alone in Yangzhou to provide disaster relief and must be short of manpower.

It would be much easier for her if relatives and friends from her hometown could help.

Unexpectedly, Damai actually listened to these words. After Grandpa Shen found out, he also felt that he should send someone to Yangzhou to help Dongsu.

Yangzhou is different from Chang'an. When they go to Chang'an, they are afraid of causing trouble for Dong Su, but when they go to Yangzhou to work, they will only help Dong Su.

Lin Zhong can't go. He is an official now and can't leave Guangzhou without orders.

What's more, Jia Shiba is not here anymore, and both Shenjia Village and Wangfu Courtyard need him.

Shen Dazhi was the first to respond, saying that it was his turn to go. He almost burst into tears and said how sorry he was for Dafang, and that he wanted to help Dong Su to atone for his past ignorance.

It's a pity that everyone knows who he is, so the tears are useless. Grandpa Shen just whips him:

"Don't even think about leaving Shenjia Village. You are the second uncle of the princess and can show off your power!"

"What's the point of going to Zhong? It will only cause trouble for Dong Su!"

In this way, Lu Yunzhou really got his wish. In the end, Da Yu accepted this important trust and went to Yangzhou to find the princess.

Lu Yunzhou, on the other hand, recommended himself as a companion, saying that he was familiar with Yangzhou and could help lead the way.

Dashan originally wanted to go, but the news that the Luo family was gone did not come through, so the second aunt did not dare to let him go.

He said he was afraid that if he met the Luo family and recognized him, he would cause trouble.

In this way, Dayu and Lu Yunzhou set out to raise the boat.

At the same time, the news that Princess Ling had created a flying artifact aroused heated discussions in Chang'an City.

The nobles in Chang'an City were all surprised. What kind of physique did this Princess Ling have?

When she was in Chang'an, she was the one being discussed every day in Chang'an City. Now that she has left, she is still the one being discussed in Chang'an City!

Well, these days there is no such thing as 'hotly searched for physique'. Everyone would just say that Princess Ling is so good at being in the limelight.

It turned out that Princess Ling had killed many nobles in Yangzhou, and she was being attacked by officials from the nobles and princelings who said she had killed them.

In the name of the imperial envoy personally sent by the emperor, Yangzhou City was stirred up into a bloody storm.

Naturally, I also brought Prince Ling with me. How could Princess Ling, a peasant girl, have such courage? It must be King Ling who is behind the scenes!

Admittedly, they had just been involved in King Ling's loss of contact, and they all knew that King Ling's loss of contact was due to the blizzard blocking the road, but they just wanted to cause trouble for King Ling.

The emperor wanted to ask them, if Prince Ling has lost contact, why is he still instigating Princess Ling behind the scenes?

At this moment, news of a flying artifact came, which suddenly overshadowed the news of Princess Ling's murder in Yangzhou.

Everyone in the city is discussing, what kind of thing is that? Can you really fly with people? How to fly?

Because when Jia Si flew to Yangzhou, the leaflets he scattered floated too far. This also led to rumors becoming more and more exaggerated, saying that the artifact had other functions.

Flying into the sky, you can send items thousands of miles away! What a magic weapon!

Some people did not believe it, saying that Princess Ling deliberately created such a thing to confuse the public in order to cover up the fact that she committed murder.

He began to take part in the emperor's crime of bullying Princess Ling again!

The emperor is very troubled. It is these people who cannot control the plague by themselves. Finally, I have a smart daughter-in-law.

Even though the plague was cured and the rebellious nobles were killed, these people couldn't stand it and always wanted to cause trouble for Xiao Dongsu.

In order to silence them, the emperor issued a decree to praise Princess Ling for her actions in Yangzhou.

Officially endorse Shen Dongsu's killing of nobles in Yangzhou. If there are officials involved, then let him, the emperor, participate in the killing!

But soon, Shen Dongsu slapped these people in the face with facts and spoke directly with data.

When I came to Yangzhou, I killed 828 rebel criminals.

However, 12,000 infected people have been rescued, and this number is still growing.

You only see me killing people, don’t you see me saving people?

What's funny is that Princess Ling's excerpt of "self-identification" was sent to Chang'an, and the emperor had someone read it out during the morning court.

One princeling official actually sneered:

"Princess Ling is sophistry! What she saves are untouchables! And she is here to control the plague. It is her duty to save people!"

"And she killed noble officials! How can she be compared with untouchables! The ancestors of these nobles have made great contributions to our Daxia."

He thought his words would be responded to, but after he finished speaking, the hall was completely silent.

He looked at the prince helplessly, but saw that the prince was also at a loss like him. That's not right! Why didn't those noble officials agree?

Looking at the emperor carefully again, his face was so dark that it seemed as if ink was dripping from his face.

Only then did the official realize that he had said the wrong thing. It was one mistake to call the people untouchables, and it was another mistake to mention the ancestors of the gentry for their contribution to the country.

The most important thing is that since the Lu family's accident, the Chen family's vitality has been severely damaged, and the ability of the nobles in the court has been greatly reduced!

In the past few years, all the officials from poor families promoted by the emperor have been promoted...

The result for this official was that he was dismissed from office and exiled.

When this incident spread to the people, it became clear that Princess Ling was interested in ordinary people and did not hesitate to offend the powerful.

For a time, Princess Ling, a princess from a commoner background, became more and more respected by the people. Similarly, in the hearts of the people, King Ling's status was much higher than that of the prince.

Soon, Princess Ling's gift to the emperor arrived in Chang'an City. It was the flying artifact, which now has a familiar name, the hot air balloon.

When the hot air balloon was delivered to Chang'an, it was the Shangsi Festival. The emperor was leading officials to offer sacrifices, and a huge colorful ball floated from the sky.

When the ball flew over Chang'an, colorful ribbons were scattered, and the people in the city were very excited.

Although it has been widely spread, this is not a magic weapon of gods, but a flying artifact made by Princess Ling according to the Kongming Lantern.

But there are still many old people kneeling on the roadside to worship.

The hot air balloon landed slowly, and two imperial soldiers came down from it, carrying Princess Ling's book to see the emperor.

Just like that, the officials who had previously said that Princess Ling was bullying the emperor all shut their mouths.

All officials are happy that Daxia has such a flying artifact. Anyone with eyes can see how fast and convenient it will be to use this object to send messages and materials.

Only the prince was so angry that his face was livid. Now that Prince Ling was no longer his number one enemy, his enemy became Shen Dongsu!

Ever since this woman appeared, his luck has gotten worse!

At the same time, the prince had a different idea, that is, Shen Dongsu came from the countryside. Could there be a woman like this in a certain farmhouse?

Well, first find out Shen Dongsu's birth date and horoscope, and send people to find women with the same horoscope among the people for my use!

If Shen Dongsu knew the prince's weird brain circuitry, he would be dumbfounded and say to him:

"Just give up! A woman like me is unique in the world!"

When the news of the hot air balloon reached Youzhou, Mr. Pang was very excited about it and thought it was most suitable for use at the border.

But Ling Moxiao breathed a long sigh of relief. Dong Su was safe. Being able to contact her was more important than any other artifact!

When the hot air balloon was delivered to Youzhou, it was already the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5th. This time it was not a matter of sending one to prove the existence of the hot air balloon.

Some people in Chang'an were suspicious, but Ling Mo Xiao had no doubts at all.

But after Shen Dongsu contacted Ling Moxiao, she heard from Mr. Pang that this item was very useful at the border, so she contacted the Wei family.

Shen Dongsu asked him to send a large number of hot air balloons to Yangzhou. Just then, the big fish came. Shen Dongsu was overjoyed and formally taught the big fish how to make hot air balloons.

Let Da Yu take full responsibility for this matter, and with Mo Xiujin's assistance, a batch of hot air balloons were successfully made.

One was sent to Chang'an for the emperor, and the others were all sent to Youzhou for Ling Moxiao.

At this time, a rare late-spring cold had quietly ended, and spring was blooming in Yangzhou, although the warm weather made the plague spread faster.

However, as the production of special medicines became more and more mature, there was no shortage of special medicines, and Princess Ling's reputation among the people became extremely high.

As long as the imperial army and government officials came forward, the people were willing to listen, so the plague was controlled quickly.

In early March, there were no severe patients, and in May, half of the counties and towns in Yangzhou had been cleared of cases.

After entering midsummer, Shen Dongsu was still worried about a second wave of plague outbreak, so he spread the recipe of herbal tea throughout the state in advance.

Let the people drink a bowl in the morning and evening. I don’t know whether it was the effect of the medicinal tea or the epidemic prevention and hygiene, but there was no second wave of plague in midsummer.

Shen Dongsu was overjoyed. According to the situation, the plague would be cured by September at the latest, and he could still go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.

At this moment, officials from Minzhou sent for help and asked Princess Ling for a special medicine.

Shen Dongsu naturally did not refuse. She was only planning to give medicine at first, but Xu Yuanqing requested that she go to Minzhou to control the plague in person.

Xu Yuanqing's move was the same as when she asked to enter the restricted area in Chang'an.

They all find it incredible! If the conditions in Yangzhou are worse than those in Chang'an, then Minzhou is simply a place of smog!

Even Shen Dongsu was surprised. With Xu Yuanqing's current achievements, he could return to Chang'an and become the deputy director of Tai Hospital.
