One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Seeing that Shen Ninghua had finally appeared, the commoners gathered at the entrance of the yamen were cheering happily in a low voice. Not long later, the commoners who had been lining up in front of the imperial physicians' tables all gathered around Shen Ninghua's table.

The imperial physicians were so angry that they fell flat on the ground, blowing their whiskers and staring angrily at the crowd that had gone from being like a cicada to being a cicada in a blink of an eye. However, they were convinced in their hearts. In these few days, Shen Ninghua's medical skills were not inferior to theirs, and he surpassed her in many ways. In addition, even though this woman had a cold and unyielding personality, her conduct and actions were comprehensive, and her actions were admirable.

Shen Ninghua was not surprised at all. She had paved the way step by step just for the sake of making her name known. This way, the following disaster would be much easier to deal with. However, with so many people around her, she was unable to understand what was going on. She asked the guards in the surroundings to go forward and persuade the people to scatter a little.

Many commoners were very unhappy. Some waited until the imperial physician finished his diagnosis before lining up to let Shen Ninghua see once more to make sure the imperial physician didn't make a mistake before taking the medicine and leaving in embarrassment.

By the end of the consultation, the sky had already darkened. Shen Ninghua's health had not fully recovered yet. He let Bai Yan help her carry the food back to the yard, before hastily eating it and going to bed.

The consultation continued for three days, and the ingredients had long since been exhausted. The guards didn't even have the time to go up the mountain to collect them, and the Second Prince still hadn't contacted Xiao Jingran.

Chu Junyi arrived at Shen Ninghua's residence early in the morning and sat on a chair to watch her eat.

Being stared at by such an uncomfortable pair of eyes, Shen Ninghua finally spoke, "Young Master Mo, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Hearing the emphasis on "Young Master Mo", Chu Junyi laughed. "I'll supervise your meal."

Shen Ninghua shot him a glance and lowered her head to continue eating. He didn't want to say it out loud, but she was too lazy to ask.

Hong Ling ran in from the outside and was unconcerned about Chu Junyi's presence. "Miss, a person came to look for the Second Prince overnight. He said that General Xiao was trapped in Riverside City and was surrounded by refugees.

Shen Ninghua put down his chopsticks and asked, "What does Young Master Mo plan to do next?"

"It's easier to fish in troubled waters than to fish in troubled waters. Could it be that Ning Hua's intelligence can't guess it?" Jiang Nan was simply too rich, and the officials here were inextricably linked to the middle prince and the ministers. If they wanted to pull them out of the ground, they would have to use their sharp blades and heavy hammers.

"Then you have to be careful, the fish in the water can eat humans if they are raised too big." As the emperor, Baili Qingfeng naturally wanted to take care of Jiangnan. Unfortunately, the waters here were too deep, and the officials that were dispatched drowned wave after wave. In the end, they were unable to do anything to Jiangnan.

"Don't worry, I'm most adept at cooking fish."

Shen Ninghua chuckled. She knew he had already prepared himself, so she didn't say anything else.

After Chu Junyi had left, Hong Ling spoke up in a low voice, "Miss, that troublemaker didn't do anything. He bit his tongue and committed suicide this morning."

Shen Ninghua wasn't too surprised by the turn of events. "Yes, the poison on his sleeve is definitely not some ordinary poison. Once he inhales the poison from his lungs, it will spread throughout his body and cause him to bleed to death within moments."

Hong Ling still had some lingering fear in her heart. "Fortunately, Miss was quick on the uptake, and didn't let that person get close."

"No, the capital is very quiet."

Shen Ninghua frowned. At a time like this, only silence could make people panic.

Baili JinChuan paced back and forth in the hall, his eyes filled with hostility. When he saw Shen Ninghua, he slightly restrained himself and said, "Ninghua, it's not that your body isn't feeling well, but why don't you rest more?"

Shen Ninghua shook his head. "Has the Second Prince and Old General Xiao contacted yet?"

"I've already sent people to Riverside City, but there are too many refugees surrounding the city. My people won't be able to enter." Baili JinChuan let out a heavy sigh, "I have already played my part to Imperial Father. If I can't do it, I will have to send troops to suppress him."

However, Shen Ninghua disagreed. "Right now, the people of Jiangnan are in a panic. They are surrounding Riverside City to find a way out. Didn't the imperial government send out troops to force them to rebel? "Besides, the Jiang Nan Plague runs rampant. If the army comes here together to catch the Plague, then..."

Baili Jinchuan smiled bitterly, "How would I not know, but what else can I do? If you want to transport the herbs to Jiangnan, you must go through Linjiang. If they don't disperse, the herbs will not be transported in, and the Jiangnan formula is even more dangerous. Right now, it's just a flat city, and there's not enough herbs, let alone anywhere else in Jiangnan. "

Right now, the city was temporarily stable, but once the medicinal herbs were exhausted, the stable situation would instantly collapse.

Shen Ninghua was silent for a moment before he suddenly spoke, "Does Your Highness dare to kill people?"

Baili JinChuan suddenly raised his head, his hands subconsciously clenching into fists, looking at her with an unprecedented fervor in his eyes, "Ninghua, you have an idea?"

"The people are in trouble because they are dissatisfied. If there is a way to survive, these honest people would not have chosen to take the risk. They would be grateful if we can remove the factor that made their lives impossible."

"The factor that makes people unable to survive?"

"Yes, the first is the plague. We already have a prescription to treat it. We just need to wait for Riverface City to open and then use the water medicinal ingredients to quickly transport them over." The second is the disorderly who abandons the people. The only way to deal with this kind of people is to kill them and resolve the problem that arises later. "

"That's right," Shen Ninghua looked at him with her clear eyes. "Your Highness should know that you don't have the authority to decapitate the later. After breaking the rules and killing an official in Jiangnan, you will be impeached when you return to the capital.

However, it was extremely risky. However, if he didn't give the victims peace of mind right now, the consequences would be even worse. Right now, it was as if he was standing on top of a mountain, with cliffs on both sides. No one knew which side he would choose.

"Xiao Hua, if you are my choice, then how do I choose you?"

"Your Highness is joking, how can there be so many? If Your Highness is the son of the Emperor, even though the Emperor isn't willing to see Your Highness threaten the imperial power, he wouldn't ignore the thought of family and blood. Your Highness' life is at stake no matter how you choose."

"What you said makes sense. Since your life is free, then you can naturally fight for it. Alright, you have achieved success and fame. If it goes wrong, you can still be an idle prince."

The smile on Shen Ninghua's face deepened as her bright eyes lit up with a hint of mirth. "Since Your Highness knows what to do, there's no time to delay this matter. The sooner we can set the victims at ease, the better. I'll head back first."

On the second day, news had spread throughout Jiangnan. The second prince had personally sent people to capture the governor of Pingcheng, who had abandoned the citizens, and to behead them in front of the citizens. He had also made a bold statement that the citizens could kidnap those officials, who had abandoned the citizens for their own gain.

Many people were suspicious when they heard this news. Did the Second Prince really have the guts to do this?

On the third day, Zhizhou of Yi City, which was next to Ping City, was sent to Ping City by the people. On the third day, Zhizhou of Yi City, which was next to Ping City, was sent to Ping City by the people.

Fourth day, fifth day … News continued to spread. The disaster situation in Ping City and Yi City was stable and good news continued to spread. The besieged citizens were no longer able to hold it in. They broke through the city gates that same night and tied up the twelve officials who had been bullying the people and sent them to Ping City.

These victims were already prepared to be killed, but they did not expect that not only did the second prince not kill them, he even directly chopped down the officials they had tied up.

I know that if it weren't for the lack of a way to survive, none of you would have besieged Riverside City. Today, I will behead these corrupt officials first and then kill them.

The eyes of the victims immediately turned red. No matter how much they said, they couldn't say the words "full". They were really too hungry …

Shen Ninghua followed Baili JinChuan to Riverside City. The victims of the disaster, who had already received the news, all opened up a path for them, allowing them to enter the city unhindered.

Xiao Jingran had already brought some people to greet him at the city gates. When he saw the Second Prince, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him: "This servant greets the Lord of the De."

The Second Prince took two steps forward and helped him up. "Old General Xiao, what crime do you have? Quickly, get up."

"Damn the sinner. Not only did he not quell the disaster in Jiangnan, he was even besieged within the city. He really has no face to return to the capital to see His Majesty."

Shen Ninghua stood not far away. This was the first time she saw Xiao Jingran since her rebirth. In her previous life, she had only seen this legendary general once. At that time, she had just helped Baili Jin Ze get rid of the Third and Fourth Princes. When Xiao Jing Ran entered the palace with his long whip, not even a hundred guards could stop him.

This old general had obviously killed countless people on the battlefield, but his appearance was calm and tranquil, with not the slightest bit of killing intent visible. It was truly difficult to see the depth of his killing intent.

After Xiao JingRan was helped to his feet, his gaze landed on Shen Ninghua. His face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes shone with a majestic and clear light. It was as if he could see through Shen Ninghua's heart.

Shen Ninghua stood firmly, a gentle breeze ruffling the hair by her ears. She stretched out her hand to press down her hair, and gracefully said, "Greetings, Old General Xiao."

"Princess, you're being too courteous." Xiao Jingran turned her head away, no longer paying any attention to her.

Baili Jinchuan did not delay and arranged for them to enter the city before ordering them to prepare some food. Seeing that he had truly fulfilled his promise, the victims all knelt down and cheered.

Shen Ninghua stood on top of the pavilion, looking down at the long line of victims receiving their rice porridge, her eyes unreadable.

Chu Junyi fanned herself as she spoke, her voice tinged with emotion. "After all this, the Second Prince's reputation has spread far and wide."

Shen Ninghua turned to look at him and said, "Didn't you expect me to give him this kind of idea? What, are you regretting it now?"

"Why would I regret it? In an instant, more than half of Jiangnan's officials had fallen. I'm a tiger staring covetously at its prey, waiting for the Second Prince to earn my reputation. I'll just have to eat some benefits while hiding in the shadows. "

Shen Ninghua smiled at Chu Junyi, his heart filled with praise for her. Being able to win her good name was certainly a good thing, but being famous was bound to be burdensome. So, it was worth it to stay silent and make a fortune.
