Or there may be a well where they live, but drinking river water is less common.

But this is definitely not a long-term solution.

It is simply impossible to temporarily cut off water for several villages that usually rely on river water for food and drink.

Moreover, if those villagers who need drinking water secretly go to the river to fetch water recently, how can they keep an eye on them if they don’t have enough manpower?

Qin Yan stood up and said, "Master Fu Xiang, I have decided to go back to the palace. I must let my father know about this matter."

Whether it is the countless people being poisoned or the water problems in these villages in recent times, Emperor Xia needs to be informed.

Sometimes, they have no way, but if it is the power of a country, there must be a way.

Fu Rong also stood up: "I'll go with you."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Ge and said, "Chen Ge, you continue to pay attention here. If there is anything, have someone send the news to me in time."

Anyway, it’s not a plague now, so there’s no need to worry about being infected.

When it is time to pass on the message, it should be passed on quickly.

Chen Ge responded, "Yes, sir."

Qin Yan and Fu Rong didn't waste any time either.

As for Mi Qingxue, Chen Ge is there. If she has any questions, Chen Ge will definitely tell her.

The two of them sat in a carriage and headed towards the capital.

……

Emperor Xia was reviewing memorials in the Qingqian Palace. When he heard Li Fu's report, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Let Fu Xiang and Yan Er come in."

"Yes."

Li Fu walked quickly outside the hall, and when he saw the two men, he hurriedly saluted.

"Greetings to Lord Prime Minister Fu and Princess Zhaohe. His Majesty summons you two to enter the palace."

Qin Yan nodded: "Thank you for your help, Eunuch Li."

Fu Rong also nodded to Li Fu.

Even though he was already the prime minister of a country, he still had great respect for the eunuch Li who served Emperor Xia.

As the saying goes, to be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. To be able to stay by the emperor's side for so many years and still live well, this eunuch Li must be very smart.

In fact, no one knows more about all the big and small things in the palace than he does.

Sometimes, you might offend some ladies in the palace and nothing would happen to you, but if you offend the chief eunuch beside the emperor, you would be really finished.

People are nostalgic and sentimental. You know, none of the women in the harem spent as long with Emperor Xia as Eunuch Li.

"Your Highness, Lord Prime Minister, you're welcome." Li Fu smiled.

The two of them respected him, so he naturally wouldn't put on airs.

What's more, he himself likes Qin Yan very much.

I have watched this child grow up.

He has always felt sorry for her experience, she is a poor child.

Fortunately, Princess Showa's life is getting better and better now...

The two followed Li Fu into the palace. Emperor Xia looked at them and frowned slightly: "You two came here at the same time, is it because of something going on at the kiln factory?"

Fu Rong and Qin Yan looked at each other, and Fu Rong stepped forward and said first: "Your Majesty, yes, it is indeed the matter of the kiln factory."

"But the plague over there has spread?" Emperor Xia's face did not look very good.

"No, it's not a plague, but someone poisoned us." Fu Rong's words stunned Emperor Xia.

"What? Poison?"

"Yes, it was poisoned." Qin Yan said, "Qingxue went with us, as well as the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital and those ordinary civilian doctors. We all confirmed that it was indeed poisoned."

"Wait a minute, you said Qingxue went there too? What did she go there for?" Emperor Xia was confused.

How is this matter related to Prince Ruyang's Palace?

"Oh, this! Qingxue knows medicine, and she is very talented in this area. So, when she heard that it was a plague, she took the initiative to ask to go and take a look. Then she found out that it was not a plague but poisoning. It was also Qingxue who discovered it." Qin Yan said.

Emperor Xia was very shocked by Qin Yan's words.

He never thought that Mi Qingxue was actually good at medicine.

I've never heard of this before!

That's what he thought, so he asked.

"Maybe there was no need to use her medical skills before, so Qingxue didn't need to tell others about this." Qin Yan explained.

Emperor Xia nodded: "That's true, but since Qingxue discovered that it was not a plague but poisoning this time, she must be rewarded for this."

"Father, there is no rush for the reward. Detoxification is the key." Qin Yan reminded.

"Oh, yes, yes, we need to detoxify first. When can the antidote be produced?" asked Emperor Xia.

"It will probably take some time." Qin Yan said, "The problem now is that we have discovered that the source of the poison is the river near the capital. Many villagers in the surrounding villages have been poisoned. Now we must put an end to this and provide the people with water. Otherwise, if this situation continues for a long time, I don't know how many more people will be poisoned."

"Poisoning may cause death faster than plague, so this matter is now a top priority."

Emperor Xia only thought about it for a moment and realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Indeed, this matter is quite urgent now. Someone actually dared to poison the river. Once he is caught, I will definitely not let him go easily."

"That means we need people to look after the river and deliver water to the people."

"Correct."

Qin Yan responded.

When the two men walked out of the Qingqian Palace, Emperor Xia had already met all of their requests.

The two of them have to be busy with their own things, as there are still a lot of things to do next.

……

In the capital, the two men temporarily stayed in an inn, but they felt that it was not a good idea, so they decided to look for a doorman, and then they found the Ling family.

Well, mainly I heard that the Ling family has a good relationship with the second princess.

Ling Yuancheng looked at the two of them, somewhat surprised: "Are you sure that a plague might occur soon?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man responded, "When we were on our way to the capital, we saw that many villagers seemed to be a little abnormal. I am not very talented, but I know some medical skills, so I roughly checked them out. It should be the plague."

"There is such a thing. Why don't you report it but come to me instead?" Ling Yuancheng still couldn't believe them at the first time.

After all, he was badly cheated by Liu Chi last time.

His official rank was demoted by one level.

Even though the Ling family was there, those people outside didn't dare to laugh at him.

However, he has been in a bad mood recently and doesn't want to go out.
