Shen Yanqing was tormented by her for half the night, which made her whole body angry, but the culprit was sleeping soundly with the quilt rolled up, and she didn't care about him at all.
Shen Yanqing chuckled helplessly. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed and silently recited the Heart-Cleaning Mantra. It took a long time for the fire in his body to subside.
With Shen Yanqing by her side, Jiang Miao slept soundly, but when she woke up the next day and saw the man's eyes were black and blue, she scratched her head guiltily.
"Whatever do you want to eat, I will cook it for you today."
She had too much fun last night and completely ignored that he was still a patient.
"You are good at whatever you do." His voice was a little hoarse, and Jiang Miao felt even more guilty. To compensate, she couldn't make it through the morning.
"I know, you can rest for a while."
Jiang Miao didn't dare to look at him anymore, so she put on her clothes and pushed open the door to go out. From her back, she looked like she had fled, completely lacking the domineering and coquettish look she had last night.
"Madam, the supplies sent by the Emperor have arrived."
After she came out, she stood at the door and took a breath. Before the heat on her face had dissipated, Zhao Lin came over to report.
"The Emperor's supplies? Come over and take a look."
A flash of doubt flashed in Jiang Miao's eyes. When the plague first broke out in Yangzhou, they did not report it to the court for help. After all, Yangzhou was hundreds of miles away from the capital, and it took more than half a month to go back and forth. It was also said that all the officers and soldiers in the city were infected with the disease. If the virus is taken out of the city, the consequences will be disastrous.
Fortunately, Feng Yuxian donated medicine and food later, and we were able to survive the difficulty, and Qiao Songyun was able to develop the medicine.
The supplies were delivered by Jixiang himself, and he quickly got off the carriage as soon as he saw Jiang Miao.
"Oh, Princess, you have suffered..."
"Eunuch." Jiang Miaofu bowed to him, "How are my mother and the emperor's cousin?"
They know they have experienced floods and plagues, so they will definitely be worried.
"Master and Your Highness are fine. I'm just worried about the little princess. Why don't we ask the Za family to come over and have a look..."
As Eunuch Jixiang spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. On the road these days, he was worried that something would happen to Jiang Miao. The two masters in the capital were worried to death. After all, the eldest princess had just found her daughter. Shen Yanqing went south again. It was approved by the emperor. If something happened, neither of them would be able to bear it.
"I'm fine. Yangzhou City happens to be short of food. Now that my father-in-law has brought these, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need."
"Zhao Lin, hurry up and call Magistrate Ma and ask him to distribute supplies to the victims."
"yes!"
Zhao Lin took the order and went out, and Jiang Miao also took Eunuch Jixiang to the inn to rest.
Ji Xiang was frightened all the way. He thought that the people in Yangzhou City were in dire straits and dead bodies were everywhere. But when he arrived, he found that it was not as serious as he thought. Although the victims looked not good, they did not look like they were about to die, let alone contracted the plague. looks like.
Eunuch Jixiang was full of questions. He sat at the table and drank two cups of tea. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Miao, he saw her suddenly stand up.
"I'm sorry, father-in-law, I haven't made breakfast yet. If you need anything, just ask Qing Lian or Shi Lei."
She promised to make food for Shen Yanqing, but she forgot about it now. The sun was getting higher and higher, and if she didn't make breakfast, it would be lunch.
"Hey, you are busy."
There were fresh shrimps and pork ribs in the back kitchen of the inn. Jiang Miao directly made shrimp dumplings and steamed pork ribs with rice flour. Shen Yanqing had an injury on his leg now, so it was suitable for him to eat something light. The steamed ribs were soft and melted in the mouth, and the shrimp was so fresh. The flavor is tightly locked in the dough, and as soon as you bite into the thin dough, the soup inside bursts into your mouth.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, delicious."
There was nothing Jiang Miao cooked that was not delicious, and Shen Yanqing nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Miao tasted one herself and felt good about it. It is rare to eat shrimp in the capital. If there were not so many things happening in Yangzhou, she would be able to taste Yangzhou's delicacies.
"The emperor asked Eunuch Jixiang to bring supplies, which can help the people in the city tide over the difficulties. However, once the flood is over, the harvest in Jiangnan will be greatly reduced this year. I wonder what other places will do?"
It would take a month or two for Shen Yanqing's leg to heal, and it was not easy for them to continue patrolling while sick. Besides, the autumn harvest was about to begin in a month. If Yangzhou City stabilized before going there, they might not be able to catch up.
"It will get better. With sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn here, Dayan Dynasty's harvest this year will not necessarily be worse than in previous years."
When the national treasury is abundant, it will naturally be able to provide relief to Jiangnan.
"Well, I hope so."
Jiang Miao now feels some sympathy for Zhao Jing. After so many years since he took the throne, the situation has never stopped, whether it is drought or flood, as if God is deliberately against him.
Not only Jiang Miao thought this way, Zhao Jing also had doubts about the fate of the country at this time.
Could it be that his ancestors sent disasters to punish him because he was not orthodox?
"master?"
When Black Eagle saw the strong resentment surrounding Zhao Jing, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly called him.
"Nothing, how's it going in Yangzhou?"
He rubbed his sore eyebrows and asked.
"Eunuch Jixiang has arrived. The news from over there is that the plague has been brought under control. The doctors under the princess have developed a prescription for the disease. After drinking the medicine, the people are out of danger."
"Did my cousin do it?"
A flash of curiosity flashed in Zhao Jing's eyes. Looking up, Black Eagle nodded, "Exactly."
"My cousin has always been very smart and has many talented people under her command. Thanks to her this time."
"Yes, Master Shen was forced by the mob to jump into the river in the city, and was later kidnapped by Liu Ruyan and others. It was the princess who personally rescued him."
Speaking of this, Black Eagle felt a little uncomfortable on his face. When he saw the news from the secret guard, he was speechless. Who would have thought that the legitimate daughter of the Liu family would be so dissolute.
Zhao Jing's eyes turned cold, "Liu Yuan is getting more and more arrogant now. Does he really think that I can't control him?"
Jiang Zhe's military power has been taken back by him, and Zhao Jing, who was originally at a disadvantage, is now on par with Prime Minister Liu. If he is really angered, he will unseat Liu Yuan in the hope of hurting both sides.
"Master, please calm down. With the behavior of the Liu family, the Prime Minister's faction will be finished sooner or later."
Heiying looked down on Liu Yuan, and because of what Liu Ruyan did, he had an even worse impression of the Liu family.
In the cave outside Yangzhou City, Sun Hao struggled for a day and night before getting off the woman. Liu Ruyan's snow-white body was already covered with red and purple marks. Her expression was dull, and her eyes were like those of a dead person.
"Sun Hao, I will kill you!"
She held the slate in her palm, and there was blood in her fingernails, and she couldn't tell whether it was hers or a man's.
She turned her head, her eyes finally showed emotion, and she looked at Sun Hao with strong hatred in her eyes.
She hated the man in front of her. Without him, she would still be the noble daughter of the Liu family.
"Ha! Yan'er, are you willing to give up? Without me, you would have died yesterday, and it was when you pestered me last night that you killed me..."
The man caressed her face, and the words in his mouth made Liu Ruyan completely collapse.
