But Shen Youhuang had set an example with the empress dowager's past deeds and explained it to the officials. If Shen Yushi didn't want to go to the epidemic area and appeared cold and heartless, disregarding the lives of the people, then he'd really be responding to the rumors.
The discussion gradually died down, and everyone looked at Shen Yu Su who was seated on the golden seat.
Shen Yu Su gritted her teeth and slowly stood up: "I empathize with the suffering of the people. The empress dowager can go to the epidemic area, so can This King. I, Shen Yu Su swear, I will cure all the citizens of Fallen Maple Town and eradicate the plague! "
A smile flashed through Shen Youhuang's eyes when she heard these words. She spoke out, "Sixth brother is a man of deep righteousness and is worthy of admiration."
Shen Yu Su looked at him coldly, flicked her sleeves and walked down the Gold-rank: "Withdraw!"
However, just as he walked out of the hall, he heard messy footsteps behind him.
It turned out that the officials were all enthusiastically gathered around Shen Youhuang, flattering her with smiles on their faces.
"Prince Cheng is valiant and wise, his military exploits are illustrious and his skills are formidable. He is truly a dragon among men!"
Another person added, "Given Prince Cheng's current prestige and prestige, he should be the supervisor of this entire kingdom. His Highness Duke Xuan is still young, so he should be the one to gain more experience and experience. Prince Cheng has put in a lot of effort.
Shen Youhuang waved her hand and said humbly, "As an elder brother, this duke should naturally spare no effort in nurturing my sixth brother. After all, the crippled crown prince had already left and Brother Yuhuang had been murdered by the assassins of the Southern Wilderness.
"Your Highness is truly loyal, filial, and righteous! This subject and others admire you! " The few of them spoke up again.
Shen Yu Su was clearly close, yet they were discussing loudly. Not only did they not put Yu Su in their eyes, they even purposely let him hear them.
Shen Youhuang was even casting sidelong glances at Shen Yushi, her gaze filled with contempt.
This overconfident King Xuan, he doesn't even know who is in this world, how dare he collect the evidence of Prince Cheng's crimes! He was simply courting death!
It all depended on whether he could come back alive after going to the epidemic area!
Yu Su held the evidence in her hands tight, turned around and walked down the jade stairs.
He believed that evil could not be surpassed, and he also believed that the lofty temple would not be overshadowed by this kind of evil person!
Even if he failed to expose her today, he wouldn't give up!
The situation was urgent. Yu Su ran to catch up with the hospital's judge, Yan Lei Ren and the rest, and rushed towards Falling Maple Town together.
However, in his haste, he did not forget to have his trusted aides spread the news to the Duke Yu's Mansion.
In the Thousand Blessings Pavilion, Feng Ning Yan had already woken up. Because she had been working hard yesterday, she felt her limbs were heavy and weak when she woke up this morning.
Shen Ling Jue looked at Feng Ning Yan's pale face, a trace of heartache flashing through his eyes.
The medicine and poison extraction ointment made by Daoist Zhong could only suppress the poison for ten days. However, when Chu Zhao and Nangong Xing had gone to Ji Mo Town, they had yet to bring back any good news. This made Shen Ling Jue even more anxious.
Lan Zhu saw the expression on Feng Ningyan's face and also said with concern, "Princess, the soup stewed in the kitchen this morning is sour and sweet, so why don't you have a bowl first? That way you'll be able to eat more food."
Feng Ning Yan nodded and sat down at the table. She took the bowl and slowly tasted the sweet, sweet and sweet fragrance.
Suddenly, a flapping sound of wings came from the window and a white pigeon landed on the windowsill.
Feng Ning Yan looked at the pigeon, then put down her spoon. "That's Yu Su's carrier pigeon."
Lan Zhu hurriedly turned around and walked to the bed. She carried the pigeon into the room, removed the paper slip from the pigeon's leg and passed it to Shen Ling Jue.
Shen Ling Jue opened it and looked, his eyebrows wrinkled.
Feng Ning Yan saw his serious expression and asked, "What happened?"
Shen Lingjue passed the paper slip to her and said, "This morning, Shen Youhuang and the ministers conspired with one another to incite King Xuan to go to the plague region outside the capital, Fallen Maple Town, to save the victims."
"Plague area?" Feng Ningyan was shocked, "How could there suddenly be a plague? Could this be Shen Youhuang's scheme? Hurry up and tell Yu Su not to go.
"It's too late." Shen Ling Jue shook his head, "Based on the time, Yu Su is already outside the city. If the horse was fast, I'm afraid they would have already entered the quarantine."
Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but panic. "Yu Su is still young and doesn't have any experience dealing with plague. What if he gets infected in the epidemic area!?"
"I'm afraid that Shen Youhuang had the idea of transferring Yu Su out of the capital, just in time for Shen Youhuang to usurp the position of supervisor and gain actual power." Shen Ling Jue's face turned cold.
"We can't let Shen Youhuang succeed!" Feng Ning slammed her hand on the table and stood up to leave.
Shen Ling Jue held her hand: "What, you want to persuade Shen Yu Su to return to the city? If he were to return to the city, what would the ministers and commoners think? As the prince in charge of the nation, Yu Su going back on his words will only make things more realistic for the people. "
Feng Ningyan asked anxiously, "Then what do we do?"
"There was a plague in the capital before, but unfortunately, the time interval was too long, and it was difficult to find the person who knew about it. If we can find a way to prevent and cure the plague, we can relieve the pain of the people and allow Yu Su to return to the city as soon as possible. "
When Feng Ning Yan heard this, she immediately remembered that the Thousand Blessings Pavilion had collected countless files and all kinds of intelligence reports. It was impossible not to have recorded such a huge incident as the plague.
"That's great! "Let's go investigate the old case of the Speaker's Hall …"
The two of them, together with Luo Yunxuan and Ah Yao, went into the underground tunnel and searched for clues within the file left behind by the Pavilion of Interpretation.
There were quite a few scrolls in the secret chamber. Thankfully, they were all divided into different categories. However, it had already taken more than half an hour to roughly flip through the scrolls for the 'Prodigy and Miscellaneous Diseases' category.
Finally, a book with a medicinal aroma entered Feng Ningyan's eyes.
"Got it!" She quickly handed the book to Shen Ling Jue.
Shen Ling Jue flipped open the page, his eyes quickly skimming through the records in the book, and couldn't help being surprised.
"What's going on …?" Ten-odd years ago, this kind of plague had also occurred in the capital. At that time, the epidemic situation spread like wildfire, wailing and wailing everywhere, and refugees were everywhere … But why do I have no recollection of it? "
Ten years ago, although he was only six or seven years old, his memory was very good. If such a disaster were to happen in the capital, it would be impossible for him to not remember it at all.
The more he tried to remember, the more dizzy he became.
Feng Ning Yan pointed at the two lines of small words: "Look, the symptoms of the patients in this book seems to be similar to the symptoms of the patients in the epidemic area mentioned by Yu Su!"
At this point, she turned to another page and suddenly saw three eye-catching words.
"Aiya! It turns out that the person in charge of overseeing the research of the Great Hospital for dealing with the plague medicine back then was Imperial Concubine Min! "
Imperial Concubine Min is Shen Ling Jue's biological mother, which is even more unexplainable. Why is Shen Ling absolutely clueless about this?
Shen Ling Jue suspiciously stared at that page, reading the description on top, his eyebrows knitted even tighter.
Had he really forgotten something during that time?
