This time when he left the palace, Qi Xuan did not pay a private visit like before. Instead, he made an announcement to the world. Emperors and queens patrolled the country and went straight to the Holy See if they had any grievances redressed.

The route starts from Beigu Prefecture and ends at Taixi Prefecture, including Changyi Prefecture.

Wherever he passed, he lived in a posthouse and the government handled cases. He did not mobilize troops to build palaces. It was forbidden to travel far and near to cause trouble for the people and money. He was accompanied by six ministers and ministers of the six ministries and the prime minister of Dali Temple.

As soon as the news came out, everyone in the government was shocked. What is the emperor going to do?

The answer is simple: handle the case!

You can even sue the emperor, not to mention the civil and military officials. Once verified, you will be severely punished.

Before setting off, Cui Zhiniang entered the palace with her two nieces.

Cui Wangshu made up his mind to follow Dongfang Yu. Cui Lingyi also gave up going to Longmen Pass and wanted to follow Cui Wangshu to build a women's school. Cui Zhiniang brought her two nieces into the palace to make amends. Anyway, Cui Lingyi and It's not that Cui Wangshu has no responsibility at all.

Su Yunnuan wrote a handwritten letter to the Cui Lingyi sisters and asked them to take the letter to Dongfang Yu. During this period of correspondence, Su Yunnuan admired Dongfang Yu's vision very much and there was no problem in accepting the Cui Lingyi sisters. , if you know people well and use them well, it will be a great help.

While chatting, Su Yunnuan mentioned Qi Xuan, and Cui Zhiniang said with pity: "Axuan has done a good job. He is the benefactor of the Cui family. How can I alienate him?"

Even though the two of them haven't met, Qi Xuan feels much more comfortable. As someone who took care of him when he was growing up, it's not too much to say that he feels sympathy for his mother and son.

Everything was ready, and the day to leave the palace was chosen on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month. The emperor and the empress had a carriage, two carriages for the six ministers and the minister of Dali Temple. The emperor and the empress were allowed to have only one entourage, and the imperial guards escorted them all the way.

In addition, there are three clerks and one censor.

These people came all the way to Beigu Mansion.

Yao Zhengqian, the prefect of Beigu Prefecture, took an early step to rectify Beigu Prefecture and put up notices. After the people spread the word orally, the scholars writing petitions on the streets became busy. These files were sorted out, and Yao Zhengqian respectfully waited for the emperor and empress to arrive in person.

Although she has traveled to many places, Su Yunnuan has never been to Beigu Mansion. Meng Jiuling, the good prime minister, was born here. There is the Meng family ancestral hall here. The Meng family who once left the capital returned to their place of origin and lived and worked in peace and contentment, farming and studying. Heirloom.

Qi Xuan and others settled in the post house, and Yao Zhengqian came to visit them.

"The case will be heard in court tomorrow. I can just sit in and listen." Qi Xuan said.

There are a lot of trivial matters among the people and neighbors. Yao Zhengqian tried the case to see if he managed it well. Furthermore, it also saved time. When big and important cases were encountered, Qi Xuan would take action.

As the queen, Su Yunnuan did not need to show up. She went out with Bao Xia to see the customs and people's livelihood in Beigu Mansion. This is a very remote place, so there is no women's school, but there is a women's medical clinic. The two of them went there specially Went to the women's hospital.

The people in Beigu Prefecture are poorer. Compared with the south, this place is on the same line as Yuping Prefecture and Changyi Prefecture. The winter is long, the farmland is only one season, and the people have animal husbandry as a side job.

The people have lived here for generations, and they are accustomed to it. It has been the sixth year of national peace and prosperity, and Yonggu Mansion, which has come to recuperate and recuperate, is full of busy scenes.

Different from Yupingfu and Changyifu, there are no vast pastures here and are surrounded by mountains.

The city of Beigu Prefecture is famous for its stone city, which is built with stones everywhere.

The Women's Medical Clinic is opposite the Yamen. It has four rooms facing south and north, with a courtyard behind it. People selling medicinal herbs are lined up at the door. Most of the people in Beigu Prefecture who rely on the mountains go to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs. Since then, there have been female doctors here.

Behind the store, the price for collecting herbal medicines has been raised by two cents. For ordinary people, these two cents can bring a lot of income.

"I forgot to ask the imperial medical office to prepare a roster. I don't even know who is in charge of the women's medical office in Beigu Prefecture," Su Yunnuan said.

Bao Xia said softly: "Master is waiting here, and I will ask you."

Seeing Bao Xia chatting with the herbal collector with a smile, Su Yunnuan started to think about letting Bao Xia and others get married. After what happened with Cui Jingshu, no one in the court wanted to send anyone to the palace anymore. Su Yun Nuan

Nuan thought about holding Xia and Xianglan by her side. After a few more years, she would have passed the best age for childbearing. She couldn't bear to delay them for a lifetime.

Soon, Bao Xia came back: "Master, the person in charge of the Women's Medical Center is Xue Ning."

"Xue Ning?" Su Yunnuan thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember it. The main reason was that the name she chose at that time was Zhao Xiaoyuan. Moreover, it was the name she chose when she was teaching Xue Yan how to read and write. She still doesn't know all of them.

What's the name?

"I heard that she is very powerful. Not only is she good at treating diseases, but the women's department is even more powerful. If someone neglects their daughter-in-law who is about to give birth, she would dare to bring someone to the door directly." Bao Xia said with a smile: "I heard

I feel a bit like my master."

Su Yunnuan smiled and shook her head: "Let's go in and take a look."

The two rooms on the east are clinics and the two rooms on the west are pharmacies.

The two of them went to the clinic. The long benches outside the clinic were already full of people, and there were a few people who had no place to sit and were standing nearby waiting.

This is the place where patients wait. There is a curtain on the door of the inner room. Xue Ning and the doctor treat the patients in the inner room.

The patients who were seen were taken to the pharmacy to get medicine by a medicine boy.

Su Yunnuan looked at it for a long time and found that it was the medicine boy who took him there to get the medicine.

By the time the last patient entered the clinic, it was already dark.

The curtain was lifted, and two young men in long robes and an old man walked out. The three of them were obviously doctors sitting in the hall. The old man stopped when he saw Su Yunnuan hugging Xia: "Are you two here to diagnose a disease?

"

"Old man, let's find Miss Xue Ning." Bao Xia said with a smile.

The old man nodded and left with the two young men.

After the last patient was taken to get medicine by the medicine boy, Xue Ning walked out of the clinic, rubbing his sore neck. When he saw Su Yun Nuan holding Xia standing outside, he was stunned for a moment, then he quickly ran a few steps after realizing it.

He also stretched out his hand, but felt it was inappropriate and quickly took half a step back and knelt on the ground: "Medical woman Xue Ning bows to the empress."

Su Yunnuan seemed to be amused by her appearance, and reached out to help her up: "I thought you would run over and hold my hand and call me sister."

"That's what I thought at first, but when I realized that my sister was already the queen, she almost overstepped the bounds." Xue Ning was also magnanimous.

Su Yunnuan smiled and said: "You are still the same person, it's better to get closer to her."

"If there are no rules, then why is the Queen here?" Zhong Ning asked Su Yunnuan to go to the back.

At the back is the courtyard, with east and west wing rooms, and the main room facing north and south. In the courtyard, there are medicine boys boiling medicine and grinding medicine. A circle of lanterns is hung to illuminate the courtyard brightly.

In the main room, Xue Ning invited Su Yunnuan to sit down, busy boiling water and making tea, and took Xia out to help. Su Yunnuan also got up and walked out.

"Emperor..."

"Call me sister." Su Yunnuan stopped Xue Ning and took the tea cup: "There are a lot of people in this yard, why don't they have a rough lady to help them?"

Xue Ning said with a smile: "It costs money. Our women's medical center does not charge for medical treatment, and herbal medicines are 30% cheaper than others. These children have to eat, drink and wear clothes, but they can't spare the money to hire people. Everyone helps.

It’s quite busy.”

Su Yunnuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Sister, this is much better than before. I am satisfied." Xue Ning said with a smile: "Being able to help more people like my sister is what I want to do."
