Liu Yinfeng turned his head, smiled slightly and said: "No one is sick, it's just the Queen's amnesia. God Xueyan has been treating it for several days, but there has been no progress at all. His Highness asked me to find the more famous person in Xia Kingdom.
Doctor. Among the doctors of the Xia Kingdom who are highly skilled in medicine, the ghost doctor is the first to be treated. I happened to have a few encounters with the ghost doctor, so I asked someone to invite him."
Yun Shang laughed when she heard this, "This amnesia does not require other diseases. It is something that will be cured after taking a few medicines. It needs to be taken care of slowly. Didn't the miracle doctor Xueyan also say that? There is no need to rush."
Luo Qingyan nodded, sighed and said, "It's true that I was too hasty."
Yun Shang smiled softly and asked Hua'er to take out the medicine bowl. Yun Shang reached out and touched the medicine bowl. It was cold and they brought it all the way. It was just right. It was not cold or hot.
Yun Shang handed the bowl of medicine to Luo Qingyan and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you should take care of yourself first and get better soon."
Luo Qingyan frowned, took the bowl, frowned and drank it all in one gulp, but there was no concealment of disgust in his eyes.
Yun Shang laughed when she saw that he was rarely so lively. She took the empty bowl he handed over and said, "Have you finished talking about the business between Your Highness and Young Master Liu?"
Liu Yinfeng nodded: "Everything is in order."
Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Liu Yinfeng, "Why did Young Master Liu just say you were going to Liu Cang?"
Liu Yinfeng responded with a smile: "It is about disaster relief. The relief materials brought by the Seventh Prince are only the first batch. There are still some relief materials that have just been collected. Your Majesty ordered me to send them to Liu Cang. The day after tomorrow
Set off early in the morning."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment and then said: "In the past two days, I heard some news about Liucang and Siyang. These news have not been confirmed, but I always feel that this drought may be a fraud."
"There is fraud? Where do you start talking about this?" Liu Yinfeng and Luo Qingyan both had doubts on their faces.
Yun Shang walked around the house before speaking: "What the refugees said before was that the three cities of Liucang, Nanyang, and Siyang had no harvest due to drought, and the people had no way to make a living, so they had to live as refugees."
Liu Yinfeng nodded lightly, "Yes, I have confirmed with others that there is indeed a drought in these three cities this year. Is there anything wrong?"
"The drought is real, but the people have no way to make a living. I'm afraid it's fake that they are living as refugees. Doctor Chen in the mansion said that she passed by Liucang when she came here before. She told me that there was indeed a drought in Liucang, but she passed by Liucang.
When I went to Cang, I found that Liu Cang’s field was covered with weeds and no crops were planted. I thought it was because of the disaster and the crops were dead, so the farmers cleaned them up. But when I think about it carefully
, but it doesn’t make sense. Since we have to clean it up, why are weeds left alone?” Yun Shang frowned lightly.
"Just now I went to Dr. Zheng to get medicine, and he told me another thing about Siyang. He said that he passed by Siyang the year before last and found that the land in Siyang was covered with Prunella vulgaris. Prunella vulgaris is
It is just a medicinal material, and it is a medicinal material that commands a high price in pharmacies. The farmers did not know Prunella vulgaris, so they thought it was just a weed. They pulled out all the Prunella vulgaris and threw it away in preparation for planting food. Doctor Zheng quickly told the farmers that Prunella vulgaris was a weed.
Prunella vulgaris is a good thing and can be sold at a good price. The farmer went to the pharmacy to try it, and found that it was true, so he simply stopped growing food and relied entirely on the prunella vulgaris in the fields."
Yun Shang turned her head and looked at Liu Yinfeng, then at Luo Qingyan, and then said: "These two things are connected together, and I have been thinking about it on the way back, whether there is such a possibility...
Liucang, Nanyang, and Siyang did suffer from drought, but what their people depended on for survival was not the crops in the fields at all. Memorials to local officials, relief materials that had been swallowed up by corrupt officials, and those refugees who fled here
, all deliberately made for the imperial court to see. The purpose is to defraud the imperial court of disaster relief materials and silver..."
Liu Yinfeng frowned, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes: "How is it possible? This thing sounds too ridiculous." After saying that, he fell silent again, and then said, "However, the Crown Princess just heard that
Putting it this way, I remembered that Nanyang is the largest silver mine in the Xia Kingdom. Most of the silver in the Xia Kingdom comes from Nanyang..."
"So, the things that Liu Cang and the people of Siyang depend on for survival are herbs. And Nanyang is a silver mine!" Yun Shang suddenly became excited, raised his eyes to look at Luo Qingyan, was silent for a moment, and then said: "
This time, Your Highness is letting the tiger go back to the mountain."
Liu Yinfeng didn't understand Yun Shang's meaning for a moment, but Luo Qingyan said calmly: "Yes, I'm afraid those local officials who blamed the drought were instigated by Xia Houjing. I made a special trip to ask your Majesty to let Xia Houjing
Transporting relief supplies is not like letting the tiger go back to the mountains, isn't it?"
Liu Yinfeng opened his mouth, looked at Luo Qingyan and his wife, and his face turned a little pale: "What your Highness and the Crown Princess mean is that the Seventh Prince did this deliberately, in order to defraud the court of disaster relief materials and empty the national treasury.
, taking the disaster relief materials as their own.”
"The most likely thing is that he took these things and recruited troops there. These three places all rely on Kangyang, and Feng Ming, the Xia Kingdom guard outside Kangyang City, is Xia Houjing's man." Luo Qing said slowly.
He slowly closed his eyes, covering up the flash of cruelty in his eyes.
Yun Shang gritted his teeth and said: "Before, Xia Houjing escaped from Lingxi Water Prison, I guessed that he would go to the outside of Kangyang City to join forces with Feng Ming. I couldn't figure out why he would come back to Jincheng.
But I didn’t expect that it would be like this, it would be like this.”
"Then can we go into the palace and report this matter to His Majesty?" Liu Yinfeng said softly.
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan was silent for a long time and then said softly: "No, don't go. We can't be sure whether Xia Houjing is doing something secretive by His Majesty's side. If he rashly goes to the palace to report this matter, maybe he will
To alert the snake..."
Luo Qingyan paused for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth, as if he already had an idea.
Yun Shang stared at Luo Qingyan intently, and then heard Luo Qingyan sneered and said: "I have a way, Yinfeng, you can deliver this batch of supplies without fail, don't think it's nothing, but
, something has been added to the disaster relief food and grass."
"What to add?" Yun Shang blinked and looked at Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, smiled, raised her head and looked at Yun Shang: "This will trouble Madam."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but then she heard Luo Qingyan say with a smile: "It can be used to make people unconscious after taking it, or to give them stomachache. It depends on the lady's preference. But there are hundreds of carts of food and grass, so we need
There will be no shortage of medicine, and Yin Feng will be leaving early the next morning, so Madam will have to work hard."
Yun Shang laughed when he heard this. Knowing Luo Qingyan's plan, he nodded gently and said: "Yes, we have a lot of secret guards. I will ask someone to prepare the medicinal materials. Just do it according to the method. I promise
mission accomplished."
Yun Shang said, then turned around and prepared to go downstairs, but heard Liu Yinfeng's voice, with some hesitation: "I have something to ask for in this matter."
"Huh?" Yun Shang turned around, smiled and said, "Young master Liu, if you have anything to do, just ask."
Liu Yinfeng looked hesitant. He was silent for a moment and then said: "I know that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to get rid of the Seventh Prince, but the common people are begging His Highness, hoping that His Highness can spare the life of the Seventh Prince."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, and exchanged looks with Luo Qingyan.
This was not the first time Liu Yinfeng had mentioned this matter. He had also said last time that he wanted Yun Shang to do whatever it took to keep the Seventh Prince alive.
"The Seventh Prince has been targeting us, and His Highness and I almost lost our lives several times. Mr. Liu has repeatedly asked us to spare his life. Could you please tell me why?" Yun Shang said softly.
Liu Yinfeng bit his lip, but did not speak for a long time. Yun Shang frowned and was about to speak, when she heard Liu Yinfeng softly said: "The implications of this matter are really too great. Forgive me for not being able to say anything, but I just want to go this time."
Liu Cang, I guarantee that I will definitely make the Seventh Prince give up the throne, stop fighting with His Highness, and live in seclusion without being involved in political affairs. Can Your Highness let him go for once?"
Luo Qingyan was silent for a long time before he responded: "If Xia Houjing is like you said, I will not pursue it anymore. After all, he and I are considered brothers by blood, and we should not kill each other like this.
"
Only then did a smile appear on Liu Yinfeng's face, "Thank you very much, Your Highness, for not killing me. I would like to thank you on behalf of the Seventh Prince."
When Yun Shang saw this, she stopped asking. Thinking about the herb, she hurried downstairs and gave detailed instructions to Qin Yi to summon Ning Qian and Qian Yin to prepare the matter together.
As soon as he finished giving instructions, he saw Liu Yinfeng coming down from upstairs.
Yun Shang quickly smiled and said, "Is Young Master Liu going back?"
Liu Yinfeng nodded slightly and responded.
Yun Shangcai smiled and said: "Young master is our Bao'er's godfather. Why didn't he look at our Bao'er when he came? If Bao'er finds out in the future, he will definitely blame Mr. Liu, his godfather, for not being close to him."
Yun Shang said, and asked Qin Yi to carry Bao'er over and hand it to Liu Yinfeng.
Liu Yinfeng looked very skillful when he picked up the child. He smiled and teased Bao'er in his arms. After talking to Bao'er for a while, he said goodbye to Yun Shang. Yun Shang didn't stop him this time.
The wind sent him out of the yard, and then he carried Baoer upstairs.
Luo Qingyan hadn't rested yet. When he saw Yun Shang coming up, he frowned and said, "I'm still sick. Don't let Chengye get infected."
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Luo Qingyan glanced at Yun Shang and was silent for a moment before saying: "You are relatively familiar with Liu Yinfeng, tell me why Liu Yinfeng interceded for Xia Houjing? I have never heard of Liu Yinfeng and Xia Houjing before.
There was too close contact, except that Liu Yinfeng once taught Xia Houjing for a while, but then he became very unfamiliar."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows: "If others heard what Your Highness said, I'm afraid they would misunderstand me. Why do you mean that I and Liu Yinfeng are relatively familiar with each other? Your Highness is so jealous, but it's a bit inexplicable."
Luo Qingyan glanced at Yun Shang, but did not refute, and Yun Shang smiled and said: "I have heard many people talk about a secret in the palace before, saying that Liu Yinfeng once liked Concubine Liu. That is.
