Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort

This time, the torrential rain fell from the [-]th to the [-]th day of April. The continuous torrential rain for nearly ten days finally stopped on the fourth day after the river dam burst.As for the bursting of the moat caused by the torrential rain, it not only caused heavy losses to the nearby villagers and people, but also the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to rescue and fight the flood.

Wei Mucheng, Wei Muqing, and Shen Dongxue personally came to the scene early every morning to supervise the repair and reinforcement of the dams on both banks; they also asked people to dig a new river channel to help dredge the flood discharge.After a few days, the water that submerged the village was diverted back into the river and eventually into the sea.

"The disaster is almost under control now, it's time to go back and report to the emperor. The emperor's sister should also go back and have a good rest. The food and lodging for the past few days is really hard." Wei Mucheng saw Wei Muqing's face that had become thinner in the past few days , a little distressed.

Wei Muqing smiled, "These hardships are nothing, no matter how I say it, I still spend time with the son-in-law every day. However, the emperor's wife is in the palace, she not only has to take care of the two children, but also worries about whether the emperor's brother is safe here. Well, it's really not easy. This time when I go back, Brother Huang will spend time with Sister-in-law Huang."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult! Such a big incident, not to mention the impact on the harvest, just the next step of accountability is also a thorny issue, let alone the resettlement and compensation of the victims." Wei Mucheng Sighing, it's okay to be busy, and when I have free time, I can't help but start to miss Xue Yun'er and the two little guys who are far away in the palace.

"Could it be that the only prince of the Hui Dynasty is the emperor himself?" Wei Muqing said that all.

Shen Dongxue also said: "Brother Huang has already done the most dangerous thing, it's time for others to contribute as well."

Wei Mucheng nodded and said: "The imperial sister and brother-in-law are right, I understand. I will go back early tomorrow morning, so let's rest early tonight."

"The princess was really too worried before. Look, the flood is over. I'm fine. Nothing happened." Shen Dongxue was worried about Wei Muqing's worries, and when she thought about returning to the city soon, she joked road.

Wei Muqing was not in the mood to joke with her, and said sternly: "Be careful. Nothing is the best thing, but if you are not careful, in case..."

Seeing this, Shen Dongxue quickly nodded and agreed: "Princess is right, it's always good to be careful, I'm too big-hearted."

Wei Muqing rubbed the back of her head lovingly and said, "It's good that you understand, go to sleep."

"What about the floods now?"

Back in Beijing, Wei Mucheng and Shen Dongxue didn't even bother to drink their saliva, so they were called to the imperial study by the emperor.

"Reporting to my father, the disaster situation is now under control. This is the dossier of the disaster relief written by my son, please have a look at my father."

The emperor looked at the thick file and the two people who were obviously thin, and comforted him: "You two have worked hard, Yun'er must be worried in the palace, the prince should go back to rest first, and discuss the rest tomorrow morning." .”

"Yes, royal father, my son and minister will retire."

"Shen Aiqing stay here for a while."

Shen Dongxue didn't understand that she was only Wei Mucheng's deputy this time, why the emperor would leave him alone, so she asked cautiously: "Is there something wrong with the father leaving the son?"

"I heard that Qing He also went with this disaster relief?"

Shen Dongxue's heart skipped a beat, she didn't know what the emperor meant by mentioning this, so she could only probe and say: "Princess, she was really worried about Erchen, so she ran to find Erchen."

"It's okay, Shen Aiqing doesn't need to be nervous. I don't mean to blame you for hiding it. I just want to say that Qing'er has been spoiled since she was a child, but you can't always spoil her like this. She is already married and set up a family. Sex is really outrageous."

Hearing the emperor's tone of derogation and secret favor, Shen Dongxue felt relieved and said with a shy smile: "The princess is very good, and she is not spoiled. My son also hopes that the princess can live a more casual life no matter whether she is a mansion or not."

"Now that you've said that, what I say will seem a bit 'stimulating discord'. That's fine, you two can go through your little days by yourself. Seeing that you are in harmony, I feel relieved."

After returning to the mansion, Wei Mu asked someone to clean up the hot spring pavilion early in the morning, and the two of them took a good bath to dispel the fatigue of these days.

Lying on the bed, Shen Dongxue told Wei Muqing what the emperor left her to say today.

After hearing this, Wei Muqing just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Father is actually quite eccentric."

"Although there is an old saying that 'the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat', do you see that the palms and the backs of the hands are the same?" Wei Muqing stretched out his hand, one positive and the other reversed, "People rely on feelings, and things like feelings are originally It’s hard to be fair.”

Shen Dongxue nodded, her mind was complicated and she couldn't talk about it.

Wei Muqing hugged him tightly, "Go to sleep, I have to go to court tomorrow."

The weather suddenly became hot after the heavy rain, and Shen Dongxue was sweating profusely standing in the main hall in court attire.Quietly looking around at her colleagues, she found that except for a few elderly people who were afraid of the cold, everyone else was sweating profusely, even the crown prince and King Sui were not spared.

The emperor over there was already annoyed by the heat, but when he heard Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Industry shirk their responsibilities and accuse each other, he became even more angry. The scolding was so loud that Shen Dongxue was worried about his throat.

Finally reaching the next court, Shen Dongxue walked outside, but the sun outside was frighteningly poisonous, and there was not even a trace of wind.

Seeing Shen Dongxue, Miao Qing chased after him and said, "Hey, this day really changes as soon as it is said."

"Yeah, it rained two days ago, and it was still very cold. Why is it so hot today that it seems like you've fallen into a trance."

"It's strange that Qin Tianjian has no faith at all. Today, the court still blamed the Ministry of Industry, thinking that he was so innocent. Let me tell you, Qin Tianjian is also responsible for the breach of the dike this time."

"The emperor will not listen to anyone."

"No matter what, asking about the responsibility should play the role of 'killing chickens and monkeys'."

"Brother Miao is right."

In today's early court, Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Industry were fighting with each other, but they still couldn't figure out why.Angrily, the emperor asked both parties to reflect on it, and they will hear a definite answer tomorrow morning.

However, there were new problems in the early morning of the second day.

"Reporting to the emperor, today I received news that the place where the disaster victims were resettled seems to be... a plague broke out."

When the emperor heard this, he almost didn't jump up from the dragon chair, "What?!"

The Hubu Shangshu repeated again, "The place where the disaster victims are resettled is suspected to have a plague."

For a moment, whispers filled the entire hall.

"My son thinks that whether it is a plague or not can only be determined after being diagnosed by an imperial physician. The most urgent task now is to suppress the news so as not to cause panic in the capital."

"I think what His Royal Highness said is very true."

"My minister agrees."

Upon hearing this, the emperor waved his hands and said, "The prince will be fully responsible for this matter."

"I heard that there is a plague in the suburbs of Beijing?" Wei Muqing obviously heard the news.

Shen Dongxue nodded and said: "I'm afraid it's true, even though Brother Huang said today that the imperial doctor will make a diagnosis and make a final decision."

"I should have thought that something would happen to this abnormal weather. I thought it would be solved if the disaster was under control..." Wei Muqing sighed, his tone a little anxious.

"Father has handed over to Brother Huang to be in charge of this matter again. Thinking that Brother Huang must be too busy, let's help out. Even if it is a plague, as long as it is dealt with in a timely manner, the victims are not too many, so we are not afraid. Take it easy, princess."

"I'm afraid... hey, I'll go to the imperial physician tomorrow to ask about the situation."

The next day, without waiting for Wei Muqing to ask, Wei Mucheng brought the imperial doctor to find him.

"How is the situation now?"

"Let's ask the imperial doctor to explain it, and he will explain it clearly."

"Princess Qi, there is no doubt that this is a plague. It was discovered in time, and the population is small, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that this epidemic is rather strange, it has never happened before, so the imperial physicians don't have any information to refer to when it comes to medication, so they dare not administer medicine now."

Without even thinking about it, Wei Muqing blurted out: "Saving people is the most important thing, so you go and treat them boldly. If something goes wrong, I will take care of it for you."

"The emperor's sister said that, you just go to save people, the emperor can't afford to have me." Wei Mucheng patted the imperial doctor's shoulder and said.

"If there is anything you need, you can just ask, I and Brother Huang will definitely satisfy you."

"Thank you, princess, thank you, prince!" The imperial doctor bowed and said, "The old minister has a request now."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The old minister hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can discuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs and allow the imperial physicians to burn the corpses of those infected with the plague."

"This..." Wei Mucheng was a little confused when he heard this.

"No matter what the cause of this plague is, if these corpses cannot be dealt with as soon as possible, it will be a major hidden danger."

"This palace will discuss with the household department, you save the living first."

"Yes. The old minister will leave first."

As soon as the imperial doctor left, Wei Muqing said: "Brother Huang doesn't need to discuss this matter with the household department, just inform them to pay the money. For those who agree to burn the corpses of their relatives, how much will they be given; those who don't want to be burned, We will give less, but the corpses will also be dug into deep pits to bury them.”

Wei Mucheng nodded and said, "I thought so too."

"When necessary, notify the Ministry of Rites to open the altar for sacrifice... I always have a bad feeling, I hope I am overthinking." Wei Muqing's words were full of worry.

On the seventh day after the plague was discovered, the last thing Wei Muqing expected happened.

The number of people infected with the plague suddenly increased sharply, like water boiling.The members of the imperial physician's family gradually began to waver, and the news of the outbreak of the plague could no longer be concealed. For a while, people in Yaojing were panicked.

Wei Mucheng notified the Ministry of Rites as planned, and after some discussions, the Ministry of Rites decided to ask the emperor to go to sacrifice and pray for blessings in person.

After the emperor learned about it, he not only decided to go to pray for blessings, but also decided to go to relieve the disaster in person to appease people's hearts.

After Wei Musui learned about it, he even took the initiative to ask to go with him, but at this time, Wei Mucheng and Wei Muqing couldn't care less about guessing, because the scope and speed of the plague's infection had exceeded everyone's expectations.
