On a hot summer day, Ye Ruochen sat in the octagonal pavilion to enjoy the cool air.
Behind him were two beautiful maids holding fans. In his arms, the exquisite lotus beauty held iced lotus seed soup in her hands and fed it into his mouth one by one.
Ye Ruochen closed his eyes and enjoyed everything very comfortably.
Thinking of Bai Qiqian's rejection of him yesterday, I felt annoyed again. When will he get her? Ye Ruochen opened his eyes, his eyes were cold. If he had supreme power, maybe many things would change.
It's different.
As for the current emperor, he is not worthy of being an emperor at all.
Ye Ruochen thought of the thin brocade silk she held in her hand, which had caused competition among several forces. Haha, except for her, no one knew that the thing was in her hand.
No, Ye Liyuan now also knows that what he wants is in his hands. After all, the story he told in Prince Yuan's Mansion was so obvious. How could someone as smart as him not think of it?
Ye Jinjue was so comfortable being the emperor in Anning City that he might have forgotten how he got the throne.
The corners of Ye Ruochen's mouth slightly curved into a nice curve, revealing an evil charm, like a devil.
The Lotus Beauty looked at his face infatuatedly, so helpless that she even forgot to feed him the lotus seed soup.
Ye Ruochen kicked Lian Mei away with a kick, and his voice was as cold as frost and snow: "Come here, please invite Mr. Baili over. I have important matters to discuss with him."
The maid behind Ye Ruochen bowed slightly, saluted, and then left quickly.
Beauty Lian collapsed on the ground as soft as a bone, looking at Ye Ruochen with a charming look, with tears in her eyes.
Ye Ruochen gave her a disgusted look: "Get out of here quickly."
It was rumored outside that Ye Ruochen was a romantic and affectionate man, but when he entered the palace, he realized that Ye Ruochen was the devil, a devil with a kind face and an evil heart, moody and ruthless.
Lian Meiren glanced at Ye Ruochen sadly and left with some reluctance.
After a while, a man wearing a green robe walked in and raised his hand to Ye Ruochen: "The common people have seen the prince. I wonder what the important thing is for the prince to invite the ordinary people to come here this time?"
Ye Ruochen stood up and said, "Mr. Baili, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down."
Baili Ruxuan sat down as he was told, with a face as calm as water, quietly waiting for Ye Ruochen to speak.
Ye Ruochen dismissed the maid behind him, and then said to Baili Ruxuan: "Mr. Baili, I have always admired your medical skills. Why didn't a person with such superb medical skills like you enter the Imperial Hospital?"
A flash of resentment flashed in Baili Ruxuan's eyes, and then he said: "There are people in the palace who are more skilled in medicine than me."
Ye Ruochen held the white jade tea cup, knocked on the table unconsciously with one hand, and said casually: "It turns out that sir thinks so, but I don't think so. Today, only sir's medical skills are the best.
."
Baili Ruxuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, are you asking the grassroots to come here this time to appreciate the grassroots?"
Ye Ruochen smiled evilly: "Sir, you are indeed a sensible person. I came to you this time because I want you to help me with something. Of course, only you can do this."
Baili Ruxuan looked at Ye Ruochen intently, as if she wanted to see him through.
Ye Ruochen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This Anning City has been peaceful for a long time."
Baili Ruxuan's heart moved: "What does the prince mean...?"
Ye Ruochen smiled like a demon from hell: "Of course I don't want Anning City to be so peaceful. Mr. Baili should understand what I want to do." Ye Ruochen drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, "Mr.'s medical skills are superb.
, but as far as I know, what you are most proud of, sir, should be your poison skills."
Baili Ruxuan frowned: "The prince wants the common people to poison the well water? Even if the common people are willing to poison, the imperial doctor may not be able to cure the poison poisoned by the common people."
Ye Ruochen shook his head: "Sir, you are overthinking. Naturally, I will not let you poison the well water. I want a plague to break out in An Ning City. I wonder if you can do it?"
Baili Ruxuan looked serious: "It is not difficult to make a plague break out in the city, but this plague is not easy to control at all, and developing an antidote is also quite complicated. Therefore, Your Majesty, ordinary people cannot do this."
"Mr. Baili, don't you want that person to come out to see you?" A calculating smile appeared on Ye Ruochen's face, "If an epidemic breaks out in the city, that person will definitely not stand idly by."
Baili Ruxuan was a little hesitant: "This..." He knew that person very well. His medical skills were all taught by him personally. In a few years, he became better than his master. If there was a plague in An Ning City, he would definitely do it.
I won't stand by and watch.
Seeing Baili Ruxuan deep in thought, Ye Ruochen continued: "Mr. Baili, don't worry, this king is not trying to break out a big plague, I just want to cause a small commotion in An Ning City.
"
Baili Ruxuan was having a fierce struggle in his mind: "Your Majesty, if the time comes..."
Ye Ruochen interrupted Baili Ruxuan: "I will designate a place, and you can conduct the experiment there. At that time, I will send people to keep a close watch on them, and they will never let them spread the infection everywhere."
Baili Ruxuan nodded: "A small number of people are infected with the epidemic, and the prince can ensure that they will not spread it everywhere. There is no problem. However, Wang Ye, the grass-roots people have agreed in advance. The grass-roots people do have ways to cause the plague, but the grass-roots people
There is no antidote."
"The king knows, sir, there is no need to say anything."
Anyway, he will control those people well. Even if they die from the plague, they are just some beggars in An Ning City. Ye Ruochen doesn't care about the life and death of these people at all.
Baili Ruxuan nodded: "Okay, the grassroots will do it now, and please ask the prince to send some people to the grassroots."
Ye Ruochen smiled brightly: "Mr. Baili, there is no need for you to call yourself a 'grassroots' in front of me. I can't bear it."
Baili Ruxuan saluted Ye Ruochen: "Thanks to the prince's love, Baili Ruxuan will serve the prince from now on."
Ye Ruochen waved his hand and Baili Ruxuan retreated.
So, another two days passed.
In the afternoon, a beautifully dressed woman was welcomed into Mrs. Chujing's yard.
The woman was an old acquaintance of Madam Chujing. She was sitting in the hall with her maid, smiling, waiting for Madam Chujing.
A moment later, Mrs. Chujing hurried over from nowhere. Before she entered the door, the beautiful woman came forward and said: "Sister Chujing, forgive me for coming uninvited today. Hehe, there is something good for you."
I haven’t seen you for a long time and I miss you a bit.”
"Mei Xue, you can come here to see me, I am too late to be happy, so how can I blame you?" Mrs. Chujing asked with a smile, "How are you doing in Prince Chen's Mansion?"
Mei Xue nodded: "Thanks to Sister Chujing's help that day, I was able to enter Prince Chen's Mansion."
Chu Jing's smile was still bright, and she turned to look at the maid aside: "Go to the kitchen and take a look at the cakes I steamed on the basket. Are they steamed properly? If they are steamed well, bring the cakes over."
The maid replied: "When Madam just came back, the maid had already gone to the kitchen and the pastries had been steamed."
Mrs. Chu Jing ordered: "Bring the pastries here."
The maid responded and then withdrew.
Mei Xue whispered: "Sister Chujing, I came here today, but there is something I want to tell you. I know that you have always been thoughtful, and you can probably guess some things."
Mrs. Chujing was stunned when she saw that Mei Xue was speaking seriously: "Mei Xue, what happened?"
Mei Xue raised her eyes and said: "Sister Chujing, you know my life experience. Back then, my family and I encountered a famine and went through hardships to come to Anning City." Mei Xue sighed, "I was the only one left. One time I
I almost starved to death, but an old beggar gave me the food he asked for."
Chu Jing's eyes were red: "These things have been in the past for a long time, why does my sister bring up these sad things again?"
Mei Xue took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes: "Later, my sister and I entered the Jueshi Tower together, and thanks to my sister's guidance, I was lucky enough to enter Prince Chen's Mansion and became the prince's concubine. Life was actually better than before.
too much."
"This is my sister's blessing." Chu Jing added more tea for Mei Xue, "My sister has a beautiful face and a kind heart. She will definitely be liked by the prince. When the time comes, she will conceive a child for the prince, and she will not have to worry about it for the rest of her life.
."
Chu Jing nodded: "Well, Sister Chu Jing. After I entered the palace, I also deeply felt the grace of the prince. But thinking about it carefully, I had to thank the old beggar at that time. If he hadn't saved my life, I would have
There would be no creation like today.”
Mei Xue sighed, and then said: "Later, I often went out of the house and did my best to help the beggars in the city. But yesterday, I was stopped by someone and I was not allowed to approach the beggars in the city."
Chu Jing was stunned for a moment: "This is a bit strange. Why is my sister being stopped from doing good deeds?"
Mei Xue looked around and lowered her voice: "I did recognize that the person who stopped me was the guard of Prince Chen's Mansion."
"Is it because the prince doesn't want you to have contact with them? After all, my sister's current status cannot be compared with that of the past."
Mei Xue shook her head: "I thought so at first, but later I felt something was wrong. Not only me, but others who come into contact with those beggars are always stopped intentionally or unintentionally."
Chu Jing frowned: "There's something wrong with this."
Mei Xue nodded: "Sister Chujing, I sent my maid to inquire about it. She came back and said that she saw a beggar running into the security hall on the road and asked the doctor from the security hall to check on them. Those beggars were all sick.
, and still very ill.”
Mrs. Chu Jing's body was shaken, and she looked very shocked: "Could it be..."
Mei Xue: "At that time, the doctor asked the beggar why he was sick. The beggar said that the day before yesterday, a kind man gave them a lot of meat to eat. Almost all the beggars had eaten meat. But after a day, they felt sick.
Not very comfortable.”
Chu Jing's expression calmed down: "Maybe those beggars have eaten too much and have a bad stomach."
Mei Xue smiled: "The doctor said the same thing, but I always feel that something is a little abnormal, so I stopped by my sister's place and told her not to go out these days."
Chu Jing held Mei Xue's hand: "My sister is interested."
The two of them talked and laughed, and after waiting for a while, Mei Xue left.
