After a night of wind and rain, the gloomy and gloomy sky for several days disappeared and the sky cleared up.
Kite accompanies Yingluo for a walk in the garden, and the fragrant fragrance floats in the air, making people feel happy.
**Looking at the petals shaken by the night rain, she felt a little pity. Seeing the regret in Yingluo's eyes, the kite next to her hurriedly bent down, squatted on the ground and stretched out her hand to pick up the petals.
Hold it in your hand.
"Princess, these flower petals can be picked up and dried and used for bathing. It would be a shame if they were wasted!"
This girl seems to be well-behaved but is very shrewd. She must not have been with her since she was a child. Yingluo prefers Zhen'er who has a fierce and straightforward personality.
Zhen'er's mood has calmed down a lot in recent days, and she is willing to stay by her side to serve her.
Yingluo has restored Zhen'er's freedom and left Yuanluo to serve her, as she and Zhen'er are also sisters.
"Yiuluo, since you like it, just stay here to pick up some petals and take them back. I have to go to the study."
Yuan Luo was just talking. She never thought that the princess would really leave her to collect the petals, "Yes!"
Yingluo walked straight towards the study, and saw Zhen'er and Yang Bupo standing side by side from a distance, talking about something. The two looked calm, which was rare.
Yingluo was not originally a person who liked to spy on people's sexual intercourse, and she cared about Zhen'er in her heart. After all, the engagement between the two of them had not yet been terminated. The fate of Amai leaving the two of them was broken. If Zhen'er and Yang Bupo could be reunited, it would be
That might not be a good thing.
Yingluo followed quietly and listened to the conversation between the two. Yang Bupo was persuading Zhen'er to give up on Amai. Zhen'er didn't hate him. The two were still engaged, but she couldn't accept his feelings now.
"Yang Guard, I heard that you went to my house a few days ago to help repair the house and take care of my young brother. Zhen'er is really grateful to you. Zhen'er is afraid that she will refuse Yang Guard's kindness."
"I am not doing this just because I want to hear a thank you from you! It will be very painful to marry a heartless woman. I will give you a chance to choose. If you want to terminate the engagement, I will tell the prince that it will be your wish.
"
Zhen'er's heart was in love with Amai, and Amai was from the royal family. Their status was very different, and she just couldn't let go. She would rather not marry for the rest of her life, to guard an unknown date of return.
Yingluo saw the two people's eyes facing each other. Yang Bupo was a good person. Zhen'er would not be wronged if she followed him. Now Zhen'er still couldn't let go of Amai. She didn't want her to give up her last chance. All her thoughts were fleeting.
.
"Zhen'er! Guard Yang! Why are you here?"
Zhen'er swallowed back the words she was about to say, bowed and said, "Zhen'er has met Miss!"
Yingluo hurriedly stretched out her hand and took Zhen'er's hand, "Sister Zhen'er, you have forgotten again, we will be sisters from now on."
"Zhen'er is extremely grateful to the young lady for treating her like this. The young lady is a princess, how can Zhen'er push her too far and make offensive remarks?"
Yang Bupo was very glad that the princess appeared. He originally planned to give up, but God seemed to have given him another chance, and he just wanted to try again.
Yang Bupo saw Murong Yingluo heading towards the study and asked, "Princess, are you going to the study?"
"Exactly!"
"Someone from the palace just invited the prince to come into the palace, but the prince is not in the study at this time!"
Yingluo frowned. It had been very quiet in the palace in recent days. Today, the emperor suddenly heard about the reason why Prince Zheng came to the palace. She had an ominous premonition in her heart for no reason.
In the palace, the emperor's superior, Wu Yue, looked gloomy and was pacing back and forth. He was really afraid of something. But what he didn't expect was that the ancient Wu Kingdom had already taken action without even noticing.
The eunuch outside the door reported: "Your Majesty! King Zheng wants to see you!"
"come in!"
The emperor asked him to enter the palace alone quickly. Si Wushang didn't know what happened, so he hurried over. Hearing the calm voice in the imperial study, he walked in directly.
"My brother has met the emperor!"
Si Wuyue ordered people to guard the door and not allow anyone to come. He said with a solemn eyebrow: "Second brother, something happened!"
"What happened to the Emperor?"
"The cause of the incident was half a month ago, when a plague broke out in Yongle County, Jiangning. Many people vomited and people died one after another. The situation was out of control. The county guard reported to the court and requested that medical officers be sent to treat the plague.
"
"If there is a plague, as long as the court sends some medical officers there, the situation will not be difficult to control!"
"If it's a plague, I won't be afraid."
He picked up a white cloth bag from the desk and handed it over, "Second brother, take a look for yourself!"
Si Wushang opened the bag and saw white crystals inside, which were salt! It looked the same to ordinary people, but Si Wushang noticed a detail. Pure salt is not hygroscopic, and it is dry and will not stick to you. "It is Glauber's Salt."
The poisoned person turns purple, has shortness of breath, vomits and diarrhea, and is dehydrated, leading to death.
Salt is the foundation of the country. If there is a problem, it is tantamount to a disaster.
"I learned about this and sent people to investigate. The salt came from the Qizhou Camp, eight hundred miles away from Changle. Some guards stole the army's reserve salt and sold it. What's even more terrifying is that it's not just the Qizhou Camp.
Salt is poisonous.”
"Reserve salt? Your Majesty, can you investigate and find out how many such poisonous salts there are in the military camp?"
The results of the investigation frightened Si Wuyue, "About 60%, Wu Wu Guo had already planned it! Our salt was subcontracted at some point! We couldn't raise such a large amount of salt at the same time. What should we do with so much poisonous salt?"
?”
Salt and saltpeter are not easy to separate, so there is a saying that salt is collected in the summer and saltpeter is collected in the winter. In such a midsummer season, it is not easy to separate the thenardite.
"Your Majesty, order people to prepare radish. In a big pot, boil the poisonous salt and radish together to draw out the Glauber's salt."
The imperial doctor also did the same thing, but it didn't work. "It's summer, where can I get so many radishes?"
"Replace with radish seeds! This method is only for emergencies. I will definitely be able to think of a better way."
"This matter is serious and cannot be known to anyone. If you want to truly control it, you must cut off the source. This matter requires King Zheng to go to Puyang, the largest water transport terminal in Chenghan, and where salt lords gather. Chenghan University
Part of the salt is transported inland through there."
When Si Wushang returned to Prince Zheng's Mansion, he went directly to the study. He wanted to search for information on how to lower the temperature to separate Glauber's salt, and whether there was a feasible way to separate Glauber's salt in large quantities.
Yingluo felt uneasy for no reason. She had been waiting for Prince Zheng to return home for a long time. "Yuanluo, why don't you go and see if Prince Zheng has returned home?"
Zhen'er saw that the young lady was restless and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing? I'm just feeling uneasy!"
Shaoqing, Yuanluo came back to report that the prince has returned to the study.
Yingluo wanted to find out why she was feeling uneasy. No need to pass the message, Yingluo just opened the door and walked in.
Si Wushang was reading the classics when he saw Yingluo coming, "Luo'er, what happened? Why do you look so uneasy?"
Yingluo believed that women's senses were the most sensitive, "Your Majesty, Yingluo feels uneasy, but what happened?"
Si Wushang was going to Puyang. He had no intention of leaving without telling Yingluo, "But something happened. The king will rush to Puyang tomorrow for business, which may take several months or even half a month."
What King Zheng meant was that they would be separated for a while, and King Zheng did not want to separate from her. After all, this matter related to the country and the country, and he could not postpone it.
"Your Majesty, can you take Yingluo with you?"
"Chengfeng and Bupo will go with me for this matter, and Luo'er will stay in the mansion to recuperate."
