When leaving the palace, the first assistant and Yu Wenhao walked out together.
Yu Wenhao was so angry that he even forgot to report the incident at Hucheng Bridge. He said angrily: "Father is too timid. What are you afraid of? That's hundreds of lives. Isn't it right to just give a strict order not to go up for treatment?"
Are you telling them to wait for death? The prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor cannot cure the disease at all, and it is useless to continue to send medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor."
The first assistant said: "Take your time, don't be too impatient. Leprosy has always been regarded as a serious disease in our dynasty. It also broke out inexplicably once. The cause has not been found so far. The emperor's worry is not unreasonable. Nowadays, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty
Even people all over the country are talking about leprosy and it is unreasonable to make it public unless there is absolute certainty that it can be cured."
Yu Wenhao said: "Isn't Grandma Xi's illness cured? Chief Assistant, why don't you let me tell you?"
The chief minister rolled his eyes at him, "Your Highness, do you only care about yourself? If the Emperor knew that Aunt Xi had suffered from leprosy, even if he did not send her away, he would not allow her to take the Emperor's grandson with her. If Your Highness really did this, he would
Happy grandma’s life.”
Yu Wenhao didn't expect to go up to this level, so he couldn't help but said: "The first assistant is still considerate."
The first assistant said calmly: "If you always keep that person's joys and sorrows in mind, you will naturally be considerate. Just as Your Highness did not promise to the emperor that he would be cured, it was also to leave room for the crown princess. Otherwise, it would really be made public. Prince
The concubine has not been cured of leprosy, so she will be the target of public criticism."
Yu Wenhao was discouraged, "Go back and tell Lao Yuan, she will be mad to death."
"Did the Crown Princess go up the mountain today?" Chu Shoufu asked.
"Up!"
The chief assistant frowned, "Then we have to send someone to inform her not to come back via the old road, but to find a way to go down the mountain through the woods, otherwise she will be caught."
Yu Wenhao nodded, "Don't worry, I will send someone to inform you that the Hucheng Bridge has collapsed. I forgot to report this matter. Please go back and tell my father. I have to rush back to deal with it now."
"Is this happening?" The chief assistant was slightly shocked, "Didn't the Hucheng Bridge just be built two years ago? How could it collapse? Are there any casualties?"
Yu Wenhao said solemnly: "It collapsed at the fifth watch today. A fishing boat happened to pass by and sank the fishing boat. There were more than a dozen people on the fishing boat. It seems that the situation is more serious than bad."
The first assistant hurriedly said: "Then your highness, go and deal with it quickly. I will go back and report to the emperor."
Yu Wenhao left in a hurry. He first went back to the palace to find Tang Yang, asking him to go to Leprosy Mountain and tell Lao Yuan that someone was watching at the mountain pass. Then he rushed to Hucheng Bridge.
Tang Yang was worried. There were people watching at the mountain pass, so he had to go down the mountain through the dense forest. If he went down from the dense forest, he would have to pass through the miasma. People who knew martial arts would be fine. They could cover their noses and fly over quickly with Qinggong.
But the princess doesn't know martial arts.
And whether it is Ah Si or Miss Yuan, with their light skills, they cannot carry the princess across the dense forest. Xu Yi can, but men and women are not intimate, how can he hold the princess in his arms?
So what should we do?
You can't leave the princess alone on the mountain.
He thought of a person, Xiao Hongchen. With her Qinggong, she should be able to lead the princess through the dense forest.
He immediately sent someone to invite Xiao Hongchen, but little did he know that Xiao Hongchen had gone out of Beijing to do some business and wouldn't be back today.
Tang Yang was so anxious that he had no choice but to go up the mountain first and then think of a solution. Just as he was asking someone to prepare the horse, the extremely bored Fourth Master Leng walked to the door. Seeing him walking out in a hurry, he asked: "Tang
Where are you going in a hurry, sir?"
Tang Yang knew that he and Rong Yue had gone to Leprosy Mountain together, so he didn't hide it, saying: "I have to go to Leprosy Mountain. Someone has taken a copy of the book of the Crown Princess, and I want to inform them to come down the mountain from the dense forest tonight."
Fourth Master Leng frowned and said, "But isn't there miasma over there in the dense forest? How to get down the mountain?"
"It should be okay to go down the mountain with Qinggong."
Fourth Master Leng looked at Tang Yang and said, "But the Crown Princess doesn't seem to know martial arts."
Tang Yang said worriedly: "Indeed, but there is nothing we can do now. Let's go up first."
Fourth Master Leng said calmly: "I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll go with you."
Tang Yang knew that he was a businessman, and even if he knew martial arts, it was nothing more than Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu. It was not that he looked down on the fourth master, he also respected the fourth master, but taking him there now would only delay things, so he said: "It is dangerous now on the mountain.
I won’t go."
The fourth master turned a deaf ear and went in by himself, exchanged a few words with Rong Yue, then led his horse and followed Tang Yang.
Tang Yang was very depressed, and it was difficult to say harsh words to the fourth master. Seeing him sitting on the horse in white clothes, as weak as if he would fall off the horse at any time, he sighed in his heart and could only do it for a while.
He carried Fourth Master and flew through the dense forest.
Otherwise, what should we do? We can't leave the Fourth Master on the mountain.
There were indeed people squatting at the foot of the mountain, and from a distance they saw several men wandering around the intersection on the way up the mountain.
These men were all dressed similarly, and it was obvious that they were attendants of a certain household.
After Tang Yang saw the situation, he turned to Fourth Master and said, "Let's go up the mountain from the dense forest."
Fourth Master said calmly: "Why? Can't we just go up from here?"
Tang Yang shook his head, "That won't work. If they find out, wouldn't it mean that they have given up the truth?"
The corners of Fourth Master's lips slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic smile, "They all know that the Crown Princess is on the mountain, what can we do if we go up again? As long as we don't let them see us coming down the mountain, and they don't dare to
Go up the mountain, there are lepers up there."
Tang Yang said: "When we go up from the dense forest, we can also explore the situation of the dense forest."
The Fourth Master galloped his horse forward, "No need, I'll come down from here in a while."
This frightened Tang Yang. The businessman did not understand the danger, so he hurriedly chased after him.
As expected, the people guarding below did not stop them and allowed them to go up the mountain. They just stared at them for a long time with a strange smile on their faces. Then they raised their hands and asked someone to take the horses back to inform them of the situation.
In Prince An's Mansion, Ah Ru met with Bachelor Tong Mao in the study.
Bachelor Tongmao's attitude was extremely humble and flattering, and he said: "Miss Aru, the people at the bottom of the mountain reported that Tang Yang from the Chu Palace has brought someone up the mountain, probably to meet the Crown Princess."
There was a slight sneer on Ah Ru's delicate and beautiful face, "Okay, it will be better if more people go up. You can send a few more people to guard. If you find them coming down the mountain, stop them immediately. General Di Weiming is nearby.
When the time comes, you give the signal, and the general will bring his people over."
Bachelor Tongmao said in embarrassment: "Miss Aru, do you think we should send someone from Prince An's Palace?"
Aru raised her eyes and stared at him, and sneered: "What? Are you afraid of offending the prince and getting into trouble? If you read the book of the prince, you have already offended him. There is no way back. Sir, you can only listen to me.
Do it, otherwise, both sides will not be pleased."
Bachelor Tongmao's expression froze for a moment, "It's just that Miss Aru said before that if this matter is to be done, Prince An's Mansion will strongly support it. Now all the people who are going are people from the lower government. If this matter is finally pushed back by the Crown Prince,
In the past, subordinates were no longer human beings inside and out."
