When the old lady saw the look on his face, her heart skipped a beat, "Have you heard the rumors about Maocai outside? What is going on? Why did the epidemic suddenly spread? Moreover,
How come you are still involved with our third girl?"
Xie Changqing walked in in a hurry. He, who had always been broad-minded and fat, now showed some anxiety on his face, but when he saw the house full of women, he hid the look on his face again.
"Second brother hasn't gone to the office yet? I just have something to do and I want to ask your opinion. Are you free now?"
Xie Yuncang glanced at his brother, the expression on his face softened a little, and he smiled, "I just came here because I was afraid that my mother would be worried. Don't be alarmed by the news this morning. It's not a big deal.
.
Although the report was a bit late and a few sick people arrived in the city, Dongchang acted quickly and did not cause any spread of the disease."
Hearing this, the women in the room all relaxed.
This epidemic is no joke. It has always come several times throughout the ages. If it really breaks out, we don’t know how many people will die.
This disease doesn't care about your status or whether you have money or not. If you have it, you have it.
At that time, doctors all over the city will be busy saving people. Even if they are powerful, they can't ask them to stay at home and only take care of your family. That would require someone to poke their spines.
The old lady is getting older, and seeing that her family is getting better and better now, she is even more nervous about this, so she can't help but say: "Although I say this, everyone still needs to be careful. From today on, there is nothing important.
Don't run out easily.
I also ask you who go to the government office to pay extra attention. Ask the third girl if she has any preventive medicine, and boil it for everyone to drink some.
By the way, everyone who comes in or out of the house must be given instructions, and they must not be careless."
Everyone agreed, and Mrs. An hurriedly said: "Then what's going on when people say that the third girl is keeping an eye on those who are suffering from the epidemic?"
The old lady came back to her senses and then remembered this, "It's true that all kinds of rumors can be spread. Our three girls are young ladies from high families. How have we ever gone out to deal with these people? Where can we cure the epidemic?"
"
After saying this, An didn't dare to speak.
Xie Sihua spoke quickly, "Didn't I just say that she was cured in Dongchang? Wasn't the third sister taken away by Eunuch Han before?"
After she finished speaking, the old lady's relaxed expression immediately became tense again.
Xie Songhua's face was full of helplessness. He stood up and saluted several elders before saying: "Actually, this is not a rumor."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked except Xie Yuncang.
Xie Songhua frowned slightly, "Eunuch Han took me away at that time to treat Mrs. Huayang. But later, seeing Mrs. Huayang's condition getting better and better, he probably thought that my medical skills were acceptable, so he took me away.
I took him to Dongchang."
She turned around and glanced at Xie Yuncang's reaction before continuing: "I have long heard that Dongchang is a scary place, and Eunuch Han has an unpredictable temper. I didn't dare to ask any more questions, so I tried my best to
I will treat those people. There will be no further follow-up on this matter until Mrs. Huayang enters the palace. I don’t know why it suddenly came out again today."
"Then..." The old lady was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a long time. "Those people are really..."
Xie Yuncang frowned and interrupted her, "Mother, I will let my son report this matter to you later. Third girl, come with me first."
Xie Songhua had no choice but to bow hastily and follow him, leaving a room full of people in shock and confusion.
But when they arrived at the outer study room, Xie Yuncang didn't know where to start, he just stared at her with his eyes.
Xie Songhua looked at him at a loss, "Father, I... what will happen to me... now?"
After a long time, Xie Yuncang turned his eyes away first, and then sighed, "The news came so quickly, and I don't know who it was. We are not prepared at all."
"Things suddenly broke out. Was it because your previous deployment didn't work?"
Xie Changqing's brows were already furrowed with the word "Chuan" in his usual leisurely look.
Xie Yuncang shook his head gently and sighed helplessly, "It's too late. Things in Dengzhou are not as simple as I thought before. This matter has been controlled by others from beginning to end. When I understand,
It's completely too late.
The letter from the governor of Dengzhou was supposed to arrive tomorrow. I expected that the incident would happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We could still get things right here. But who knows, there was news of a leak coming from Dengzhou last night, and it was gone eight times.
It was rushed over a hundred miles, and the delivery was rushed into the palace gate. Not only me, but the entire cabinet did not receive any news, otherwise..."
He glanced at Xie Songhua and said, "No matter what, there should be time to prepare for the girl."
Xie Songhua lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then took a step forward and said, "Uncle, father, since the rumors came so quickly, it seems that the person behind it has a lot of background. How can I, a little girl, deserve to be treated with such care?
Presumably the real target of the other party is the father or the prince. But no matter which one it is, the matter ultimately started with the daughter. It seems that the daughter must go on the trip to Dengzhou."
Having said this, she bowed to Xie Yuncang very solemnly, "My daughter is just a girl in a boudoir. She sits in a small space and cannot see the situation outside. But father, if I am in this situation now, if I still do this
If you pass by in such a dazed way, I'm afraid you will really do something bad."
Her meaning was very obvious, and Xie Yuncang could not fail to hear it.
Xie Changqing said quickly: "What the child said makes sense. It's now time. You have to trust the child even if you don't trust her. In my opinion, although the third girl is young and has never learned anything, she is not stupid. Some
It’s really time to explain things to your children.”
Xie Yuncang also nodded gently, "Okay!"
Xie Yuncang was busy telling Xie Songhua about Dengzhou, but there was already a quarrel in the palace.
"Such a big thing happened, and Xie Maocai still dared to hide it!"
Emperor Yufeng blushed angrily and swept all the memorials on the table to the ground, "Bring him here!"
Zhang Shoufu, who was already old, quickly knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, please don't get angry, it's important to take care of your dragon body!"
"Your cabinet is so brave! How dare you deceive your superiors and deceive your subordinates like this!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shoufu said he didn't dare. Although the first-hand information about this matter has always been in Xie Yuncang's hands, Zhang Shoufu was not unaware of it.
He is a member of the crown prince, and it is not only Xie Yuncang who is deeply involved in this matter, but also Zhao Qingshan of the Zhao family.
In this way, it seems that His Majesty did not blame anything wrong when he blamed the cabinet.
"Your Majesty Rong Bing, the cabinet only learned about the epidemic recently, and when it learned the news, it also knew that Dongchang had been involved. I thought that Dongchang had already understood the details of the disease together with Taiyuan Hospital, so
That’s why I didn’t pay attention.”
He knelt down tremblingly, and his tone couldn't help but contain a hint of evasion.
Emperor Yufeng sneered, "Dongchang? So my people made a mistake?"
These words made Zhang Shoufu break out in cold sweat. How could he forget this when he was so nervous? The Chief of Ceremonies was from the palace, and Han Jian represented Emperor Yufeng.
By putting the responsibility on Han Jian, doesn't it mean giving it back to Emperor Yufeng?
He hurriedly saluted four times and repeatedly said he didn't dare.
Emperor Yufeng was quite furious, "You are all trying to fool me? Okay! Let me see today what kind of monsters and monsters are standing in my court! Announce! Let me announce all the cabinet bachelors."
After speaking, he added: "There are also those from the Sixth Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the East Palace..."
One by one, the little eunuchs ran out hurriedly, passing messages everywhere.
Emperor Yufeng then said: "Call those princes over, as well as that Han Jian!"
Speaking of the latter part, Emperor Yufeng couldn't help but smash the pen on the case.
Zhang Shoufu couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead. It was better than enduring the king's wrath alone here.
As Emperor Yufeng's voice fell, the main hall slowly became quiet. The palace attendants standing on both sides did not dare to move, and Zhang Shoufu quietly bowed down again.
