Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth epidemic disease
"Lidya Su, you!"
Jiang Qingping was also extremely shocked to see Su Xiao here.
"Oh, this is the crown princess given to me by the emperor! She is your emperor's sister-in-law!"
Jiang Qingping's eyes were too direct, which made people uncomfortable. Zhao Zhaowu's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and hugged the person in his arms.
"That Song!"
"He is just a thing of the past. There is no need to mention him. Now, when I am with His Highness the Prince, I am truly happy!"
Jiang Qingping's throat paused, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little. Although he had let go of his relationship with Lidya Su, he was still feeling a little sad.
After going around in circles for so long, the person beside her would never be him.
Zhao Sier also noticed the gaffe of the person next to her, and suddenly felt deeply and pulled his sleeve hard.
"Brother, please forgive me, Sister-in-law, Qingping has just been promoted and is still a little uncomfortable with officialdom for a while!"
He was dull and thoughtful, and Zhao Zhaowu didn't like him at all.
He lifted up his cloak, held Su Xiao in his arms in an absolute posture, and put his broad arms around her waist.
"In this case, the Seventh Emperor Sister should take more care of her, but she must not make any mistakes, or she will be doomed!"
After saying that, Zhao Zhaowu didn't bother to talk nonsense with the people in front of him, so he just pulled Su Xiao and went to Tai Chi Hall.
"Let's go, Father is still waiting for us!"
Su Xiao glanced at Jiang Qingping, nodded slightly, and was led away.
"Mr. Jiang, please remember your identity. Even if you don't want this marriage, you must never reveal any flaws in front of your father!"
Zhao Si'er held her proud swan neck high. She was born arrogant and would never bow to anyone or allow anyone to ridicule her, including Zhao Zhaowu.
The Tai Chi Hall is magnificent.
"Hahaha, it's really good. I'm very happy that these two pairs of beauties are standing here. I watched you grow up when I was little, and now you have your own destination. Hey, I'm old, I'm old!"
"Father, how old are you? You live a long and healthy life, and you will still be in charge of this country for thousands of years!"
Zhao Si'er smiled playfully, ran to the emperor's side, and hugged him with her slender arms.
The emperor smiled, his old face already had some wrinkles, and gray hair had grown on his temples, but he was still energetic and very sharp.
"Hey, little girl, you are already married now, and you are still so unstable. You will make others laugh. Oh, I am relieved that you are married to Jiang Aiqing!"
Jiang Qingping understood instantly and leaned down to salute, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely take the princess into my heart and love her, and I will never let her suffer any injustice!"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
A lot of lively scenes surrounded him, but Su Xiao only felt cold and ridiculous.
Outside the capital, the people are displaced and complaining. There has been a severe drought for three years and the people are in dire straits. However, they are relying on the superiors who can save them, but they are enjoying their family life with their children in such a relaxed manner. It is simply ridiculous!
Su Xiao stared at that old face, wishing she could see a hole in it!
A pair of big hands suddenly wrapped around her palms, sending waves of warmth.
Reason returned in an instant, and Su Xiao's eyes regained their warmth little by little.
"Zhaowu, why, you two are finally together!"
What seemed like a warm smile was actually an undercurrent, and Lidya Su really couldn't be happy.
Zhao Zhaowu paused slightly, with a slight smile on his face, "Yes, we have inherited the grace of our father, and we are already together!"
"That's good. You're good. I've finally made an explanation with your mother. As for the Zhao family's girl, let's take care of her first and treat her well in the end. I'll tell the Zhao family to build a tomb for her.
"
Thank you, Zhenni Ma, for building the Muling Mausoleum!
Su Xiao had a smile on her lips, but in her heart she wished she could kill the person in front of her with a thousand knives.
Zhao Zhaowu lowered his head slightly.
After a few more pleasantries, they finally retreated from the Tai Chi Hall.
Finally sitting in his carriage, the anger in Su Xiao's heart suddenly burst out.
"Hmph, today's Holy Emperor, the most powerful person in the world, actually turns a blind eye to the suffering of the people and still sits there with such peace of mind. It is simply crazy!"
Zhao Zhaowu found a seat and sat down quietly beside her.
"He has always been like this, but despite this, he still plays with the power of applause, and public opinion means nothing at all."
Su Xiao didn't want to pay any attention to the struggle for power and gain. She only thought about the people who died of drought.
She was once the greatest warrior of her motherland and fought for the honor of her motherland for a long time. How could she sit idly by now?
"Don't worry, the Shanxi incident won't be suppressed for long."
A few days later, Zhao Zhaowu's words came true. There was a severe drought in Shanxi, and plague broke out everywhere. People fled in all directions, causing countless casualties. The disease also spread to all parts of the country along with the migration of people, and everyone was in danger for a while.
"Your Majesty, this plague is really severe. It has already spread to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi!"
"Your Majesty, a large number of people have been infected near Taihang Mountain!"
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of refugees isolated outside the capital!"
For a time, the situation became extremely critical.
The emperor listened to the bad news one after another, and for a moment, his mood was extremely blocked.
The book in his hand suddenly hit the hall, and all the officials below knelt down in an instant.
"Hmph, the news about this plague spread so fast. Wasn't it just a drought in Shanxi in the past? Why is it that the epidemic is now happening and causing trouble all over the world? Now the sick refugees are stuck in the imperial palace.
Outside the city, why should I stay in the capital? Are you idiots all going to be infected by the epidemic?"
In the court hall, no one dared to speak anymore, they all sat on their knees.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the most urgent task is not to continue to worry about the problems that have already been formed, but to deal with this epidemic immediately to prevent it from spreading again and hurting more people!"
Song Bingzhang stood proudly in the hall, his eyes full of redness.
"This disease is dangerous and has spread so widely in a short period of time. If it is not curbed in time, I am afraid it will only become more critical and the dynasty will not be protected by then!"
This is the first time since the founding of the dynasty that, apart from war, the fate of the country has been endangered.
The emperor was covered with vicissitudes of life, and he fell down on the dragon chair in an instant, with a sad look on his face.
"That's true, but this epidemic comes suddenly and is so widespread. How can we control everyone in the dynasty!"
In the hall, a divine general suddenly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this epidemic originated in Shanxi, and according to reports from officials at all levels, it is the most serious there. We should kill it to prevent future troubles!"
