Rong Yue nodded, looked at Fourth Master and asked: "Then we still kill the Crown Princess?
She seems like a really nice person.”
Rong Yue's eyes were a little dazed. When she killed people before, she never got to know what kind of person the target was.
But after spending many days with the Crown Princess, she found that she actually admired the Crown Princess. If she came here to treat the disease without any purpose and only to save the people, could she still kill her?
The fourth master was silent for a while, "Let's take a look first. Has Su Dahe sent anyone over there?"
"Sent, we'll have some heads back in the next few days."
"Well, let's check again why he was exiled."
Rong Yue said: "There is no need to investigate. My subordinates know that it is about this Leprosy Mountain. He embezzled a lot of money, withheld food and medicinal materials, and enriched his own pockets. The prince found out, and the emperor asked him to pay the embezzled money and fines.
Sentenced to exile."
The fourth master was shocked, "What is there to be corrupted here?"
"It's quite a lot. I heard it's more than a million taels of silver. The patients here only eat one steamed bun a day. You see, the patients are very thin and hungry. Hundreds of people have died over the years. I suspect that more people die from starvation than from illness."
There are many.”
The Fourth Master was stunned for a while, "Isn't that just eating food from a beggar's mouth?"
"Yes, nobles, many are like this," Rong Yue said, then changed her tune, "Of course, not all nobles are like this, there are also good ones, you can tell just by looking at the Crown Princess and Prince Huai."
"King Huai?"
The fourth master raised his suspicious eyes and looked at her, hearing the words "Wang Huai" more than once.
Rong Yue smiled and said, "Yes, Prince Huai, my future husband-in-law, once we are done with this matter, we will get married."
Fourth Master scoffed: "Getting married?
Does the groom know about it?"
"I will tell him when the time comes, Master. The dowry must be prepared."
Rong Yue's smile is adorable.
The Fourth Master was too lazy to tell her, so he stood up, dusted himself off, and walked back to the leprosy village.
It's not the first time that I've been in love, every time I said I wanted to get married, but in the end, I would rather throw myself into the river than marry her. I've already got this, and I'm not ready to be single for the rest of my life. I'm so overestimating my abilities.
Before dark, a group of people went down the mountain. Yuan Qingling listened to them talk about the treatment of the patients' injuries that they were responsible for. When they got to the carriage, they made some simple notes.
After returning to the mansion, she went into the study again to sort out today's medical records.
Yu Wenhao has not come back tonight. In the late autumn and early winter, when the weather gradually turns colder, the orphanage needs to purchase quilts and cotton-padded clothes, and he has supervised them one by one. After the incident at Leprosy Mountain, he felt that there was something wrong
You still have to do it yourself, you can't rely on others.
Jingzhao Mansion has many matters under its jurisdiction and there are many cases. He is actually very busy every day. However, Fu Kindergarten does not have a specialized agency to supervise it. To ensure the welfare is implemented, he still needs to keep an eye on it.
It was almost midnight when we returned to the mansion.
Just in time, Yuan Qingling had finished her work, so the couple sneaked in to see the child, then went out holding hands and sat next to each other in front of the porch, talking about what happened today, explaining the situation to each other, and then went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, Yuan Qingling got up at five o'clock, and the group set out again. Fourth Master Leng did not follow, but Rong Yue went.
Yu Wenhao had an early morning meeting today and went out at the fourth watch. Therefore, the couple has been very busy recently.
In the evening, both of them were a little early and went in one after another around Hai hour. After returning, Yuan Qingling went into the study to take notes.
Rong Yue returned to the house and saw the fourth master hanging on the beam, looking like he had hanged himself.
She knew that he was practicing Kung Fu, but he only practiced Kung Fu when he was bored, so she asked, "Master, why don't you go out for a walk?"
Fourth Master Leng turned over and landed on the ground. He sat firmly on the chair and said lazily: "If you don't go, there is nothing to do in Beijing."
"Then why don't you go up the mountain with us tomorrow?"
Rong Yue looked like she was going to get mad after seeing him stay in the mansion for a whole day.
"No, I'm tired!"
Fourth Master Leng is obviously not interested either.
Rong Yue held her chin, "Why isn't the Crown Princess tired?
She only sleeps for two hours every day, but she is still as energetic as iron. There is also His Highness the Prince, who leaves early and comes back late every day. Why are they so busy?
My subordinates thought that they had enjoyed all the wealth and wealth in heaven, but after moving in, they discovered that they didn’t have good food or good sleep, and were even more tired and miserable than many common people.”
Fourth Master Leng said calmly: "If they are tired, the people will be happy; if they are happy, the people will be miserable."
Rong Yue began to doubt her own life, "Master, you said that we are also capable people, but why are we not as good as others in what we do?"
Fourth Master Leng asked himself this question all day long in his mansion today.
But he did not draw any conclusions. After all, everyone has their own way of living. Before coming here, he felt that his life was very carefree and that no one was more comfortable and happy than him.
Now he begins to feel that this attitude towards life is wrong?
Being happy and comfortable by yourself is actually lonely and inactive.
But as a leader in the decadent world, he quickly understood that everyone has their own way of living, and he did not need to refer to anyone else's life.
Even so, his view of Yuan Qingling has been greatly changed.
Once the Crown Princess, she could live a pampered life, but she always took risks and worked hard.
Fourth Master Leng was even vaguely worried. What kind of situation would she face if someone found out that she went to Leprosy Mountain?
Fourth Master Leng's worries were not paranoid. Some ministers reported that the Crown Princess brought people to leprosy every day.
This memorial immediately caused an uproar in the court.
Avoiding leprosy is like avoiding the devil. They are afraid of the spread of leprosy infection, so they conduct screenings three times a year. Once leprosy patients or suspected leprosy patients are found, they will be sent away.
But the princess actually took people to Leprous Mountain, and it didn't happen in a day or two.
She is the Crown Princess and sleeps with the Crown Prince. If she gets sick, the Crown Prince will also be infected. Moreover, she often enters the palace to pay greetings to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and also walks around with the ladies of the palace. This is really shocking.
Once the royal family is infected with this disease, the foundation of the country will be shaken and it will be out of control.
There were angry voices in the court, and even the officials who supported Yu Wenhao stood up and criticized Yuan Qingling's actions, saying that she had laid hidden dangers for the Northern Tang royal family and even the Northern Tang Dynasty, and the consequences would be serious.
Some officials even began to cry bitterly, as if the royal family had been infected with a serious disease.
When Emperor Ming Yuan heard this massive criticism, his brain ached. He had acquiesced in this matter, but now that he thinks about it, he was indeed reckless. He believed too blindly in Yuan Qingling's medical skills. He let her go at that time.
I do have some hope that she can really cure this disease.
Fortunately, Lao Wu did not go to court today. He is well-known for protecting his wife. If he hears so many people criticizing Yuan Qingling, he will probably make a big fuss in court, and the reputation he has finally built up will be ruined.
