Emperor Ming Yuan ordered an investigation into the fire at a pharmaceutical factory in Zhili. Naturally, Zhili officials worked hard, and the victims at that time also came forward to testify against Huiping.
It didn't take much effort and the whole thing fell into place.
In order to drive up the price of drugs, Huiping attacked those wealthy businessmen.
When the investigation files were delivered to Emperor Ming Yuan, he realized that the dark place he had been avoiding had actually become extremely dark.
With the investigation by Zhili, there have been reports from the public. How many evil things have been done in Beijing to control the medicinal materials market and bully medical clinics that disobey her in these years?
These things are like digging a well. After the first drop of water comes out, it starts to gush out and cannot be suppressed.
It was uncovered bit by bit, and in the end, a rotten medicinal material market was placed in front of Emperor Ming Yuan. Emperor Ming Yuan was finally furious and issued a decree to kill Huiping.
For the sake of the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Ming Yuan did not raid her residence, so that the Supreme Emperor's grandson would not live on the streets.
As for the prince consort and Liu Guoshou, they were sent to a bitter cold land and were not allowed to return to Beijing in this life.
The Supreme Emperor ordered Aunt Xi to go to Huiping in person.
After receiving the decree, Aunt Xi took the people out of the palace and went to the princess's mansion.
The death decree had been issued a long time ago, but no one informed Huiping. Huiping's eldest son Liu Jing knelt in front of Grandma Xi and asked if he could put poison in the medicine and coax her to drink it as medicine for her.
Go down.
Huiping's sons didn't have much potential. In the past, they only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. After the consort left, the sons still complained about her. But now, facing life and death, they still can't let go of the love between mother and son.
After hearing this request, Aunt Xi sighed: "Just do what the young master said, don't tell her it's poison, just coax her to drink it."
"Thank you, grandma, for your consideration and filial piety."
Liu Jing stood up and wiped his tears, "When the matter is over, we will go to the palace to apologize to the Supreme Emperor!"
Aunt Xi shook her head, "Don't go. You brothers will be more sensible in the future. Don't open the medical clinic anymore. Just sell your business and leave the capital, do some other business, and live a stable life."
"Know!"
Liu Jing cried and took the medicine, then turned around and went in.
Huiping was severely burned by the fire. She cried out in pain every day and was not far away from death. This bowl of medicine was actually equivalent to giving her a break.
Liu Jing told her that the medicine would relieve pain, so she drank it despite the pain. When she finished drinking, her sons were kneeling in front of the bed. When Huiping saw this, he understood immediately and looked at them intently.
Showing an expression that looks like laughing or crying.
"I have been prosperous for most of my life, but in the end it ended in such a dismal end. Brother Huang is so cruel!"
She wailed in grief and shouted, "Father!"
Aunt Xi was outside, and tears fell down when she heard her shouting. She had watched Princess Huiping grow up, and it was she who helped Princess Su purchase her dowry when she got married, but she never thought that this day would happen.
.
After a long while, Liu Jing came out crying and bowed to Grandma Xi, "Grandma, stay here. Please give us brothers an idea."
With the death of Huiping, the Imperial Medical Office continued to issue orders, and the execution capabilities of the state governments became much stronger.
Yuan Qingling always felt sorry for her grandma, so she went to help her even though she was pregnant.
Nowadays, when choosing a location to build an epidemic hospital, it is best to choose a remote place. Many places were chosen, but Grandma Yuan was not satisfied.
Yuan Qingling knew her well and said with a smile: "Is our hospital the most suitable?"
The hospital's predecessor was the Medical College, and the land now belongs to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. It took a lot of time to select the site.
After hearing what she said, Grandma Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Ling'er, at this time, the epidemic hospital needs to be at a certain distance from people's residences. The surrounding area needs to be large enough, open and well-ventilated. A hospital is the most suitable."
Yuan Qingling held her arm and said, "Okay, dear mother-in-law, let me settle the accounts. What is the budget for the Imperial Medical Office to build an epidemic hospital?"
Grandma Yuan showed her the budget, and Yuan Qingling was shocked, "Only three hundred thousand taels?"
Father, do you want this clever woman like you to make a meal without rice?"
"So, we can only start with our own people. If we choose another site and build it, the construction alone will probably cost three to five million taels."
Grandma Yuan said helplessly.
Yuan Qingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This big eater didn't get the food, so he still had to pay for it.
"Okay, you are doing something according to the emperor's order. I will sell you 300,000 taels to save your face. It's a deal!"
Yuan Qingling said with a smile.
Grandma Yuan held her hand and said, "Grandma, I'm not asking you to suffer a loss. It's just that hospitals are necessary at this time. To prevent annual epidemics, centralized treatment is easier. I believe that the number of people who die from epidemics every year will be greatly reduced in the future."
.”
"Grandma, okay, I know. Besides, now that a medical department and hospital have been added, my hospital can retire with honor!"
Yuan Qingling didn't feel bad at all. The medical school was built with her own money, and she didn't take any money from the court. She had suffered such a big loss, so she still cared about this?
Besides, she really didn't have any money left, so she could cash out the three hundred thousand taels and put some money in her pocket.
When I returned home from the Imperial Medical Office, I heard that Huiping's eldest son Liu Jing was asking for an audience.
Yuan Qingling was stunned for a moment, "Pass!"
She was waiting in the main hall when she saw a young man in white walking in. His face was sad and his face was slightly pale. Tang Yang personally led him in. After entering the hall, Tang Yang did not go out, but stood beside her.
around.
Liu Jing saluted, "Liu Jing, please see your cousin sister-in-law!"
The sound of "cousin sister-in-law" brought me closer.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "No need to be polite, please sit down!"
Liu Jing shook his head, "No, I'll just say a few words and then leave."
Yuan Qingling looked at him, "Say it!"
Liu Jing took a step forward, Tang Yang's eyes darkened, and he stood in front of Yuan Qingling, "Master Liu, please sit down and talk!"
Liu Jing's eyes dimmed, knowing that Tang Yang was guarding him, he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not good at writing or martial arts, so I won't do anything random."
Yuan Qingling said to Tang Yang: "It's okay, let him talk."
Tang Yang retreated after hearing Yuan Qingling's instructions.
Liu Jing looked at Yuan Qingling and said sincerely: "We brothers have discussed coming here. We will leave the capital after my mother's first seven days. My uncle was kind and did not raid the medical clinic or pharmaceutical factory.
But my brothers really don’t know how to run a business. They just want to sell these properties and buy a farm in another place to live a stable life. I would like to ask my cousin for help. Can I find a buyer for the pharmaceutical factory and Baoyuantang?
Don’t worry, cousin, no matter how much the sale is, my brothers will share half of it with my cousin as a token of gratitude, and I also ask my cousin to help with this matter."
After hearing this, Yuan Qingling looked at him and asked, "Who told you to come to me?"
Liu Jing's eyes panicked, "This... I came here on my own. None of our brothers understand this medical matter, so I wanted to ask my cousin for help."
