On the other side, Magistrate Lin held a banquet in the other courtyard to entertain King Ji and Lord He and his party.
Although it was an unusual time, the dishes on the table were still very rich, and Magistrate Lin even prepared wine.
After eating a few bites of the meal, Mr. He suddenly clapped his hands and called on a group of beautiful dancers to dance for the fun.
The rich smell of powder immediately made Jun Jiuji's face darken.
General Ye also looked embarrassed. What is this Prefect Lin doing?
"His Royal Highness King Ji, I would like to thank you for coming to our Qinglin City this time. I'd like to toast you!"
With that said, Mr. He stood up and picked up the wine glass.
Jun Jiuji, however, didn't even move, let alone raise his glass.
Mr. Xu winked at the dancer with the thinnest waist, the longest legs, the best clothes, and the most graceful appearance.
The dancer immediately understood and twisted her body to bring the wine glass to King Ji.
"Your Highness, please drink..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly tilted her body and fell onto King Ji.
"roll!"
Jun Jiuji waved his sleeves and stood up, his voice like an ice blade, containing overwhelming anger.
For a moment, Mr. He felt that his whole body was frozen, and he knelt on the ground shivering in fear.
"Your Highness, calm down! Your Highness, calm down! I just..."
"You're just tired of living!"
Jun Jiuji looked at him with a dead look in his eyes and raised his hand lightly.
"Lord He was infected with the epidemic and died suddenly at nine o'clock tomorrow."
"Yes." The blood shadow appeared from the darkness and directly carried Master He away who was paralyzed by fear.
Magistrate Lin was also frightened. He trembled and touched the sweat on his forehead, not knowing what to do now.
The Honorable Court Judge sighed and said, "Isn't it good to do what you should do in your position and to pursue your own affairs?"
"Yes. I understand!" Magistrate Lin nodded quickly.
Jun Jiuji glanced at him, then turned and left.
General Ye also lost his appetite at this time. He looked at Magistrate Lin with a cold face, "Whoever dares to offend my daughter and give her little shoes, I will chop him up."
After saying that, he got up and left.
He has only one wife in his life and has been in love with her for a lifetime. Naturally, he also hopes that his daughter will be happy throughout her life.
Magistrate Lin was really scared. He actually agreed to the invitation to the dancing girl after listening to Mr. He's advice.
He is just glad that he is not from the prince's side, otherwise, his life will be in danger!
…
The next day.
Ye Yining was extremely energetic after waking up.
Since there was no medicine in the city, she didn't have to show up outside today, so after having breakfast at Yaolingxianju, she leisurely drank a cup of snow lotus tea.
Because the tea tasted so good, she suddenly came up with the idea of upgrading the well, thinking that better water quality would lead to better quality tea.
"I still have more than 50,000 merit points, so I need to upgrade the well."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Gui exclaimed, "Master, the water well will be upgraded into a spiritual energy well, and the kitchen will run out of water."
"No!" Ye Yining looked up and saw bursts of spiritual mist suddenly rising from the well in the yard. After a while, the surroundings of the yard were covered with thick spiritual mist, and people's vision soon became blurred.
stand up.
The next moment, she received the message from the kitchen spirit that there was no water in the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Ye Yining was stunned for a moment, "Can the kitchen use water from Lingxi?"
"It can be used, but the spiritual stream is not connected to the kitchen and tea room. The owner has to carry water himself. Or upgrade the spiritual weapon room, move the spiritual energy well to the spiritual weapon room, and refine a spiritual spring.
Eye……"
Seeing that she could still make some repairs, Ye Yining hurriedly said: "Then let's upgrade the spiritual weapon room!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a reminder appeared in her mind.
"It takes three months to refine the spiritual energy well."
Ye Yining sighed softly, what can she do, three months is just three months.
"Master, do you want to upgrade the craftsman room? That will shorten the refining speed of the spiritual weapon room."
"Well. Then upgrade the craftsman room. What about the kitchen? Can the kitchen be upgraded?"
Anyway, you will need to upgrade in the future, so while you have merit points now, upgrade them all!
"Yes. If the kitchen is upgraded, you can make spiritual dishes. But I suggest that the owner upgrades the tool room first. With more advanced tools, it can better coordinate with the craftsman room and spiritual weapon room."
"Okay, let's upgrade the tool room."
"The master still has 8133 merit points left."
"knew."
Ye Yining took two large buckets and went to the stream to pick up two buckets of water before leaving Yaolingxianju.
When Yun Lai saw his young lady getting up, he immediately came over and said, "Miss, I made bird's nest porridge, do you want some?"
When Ye Yining saw that Yun Lai had said that the bird's nest porridge was ready, she nodded, "Bring it here! I've been sleeping for a long time. Did anything happen today?"
It was already dark outside and she had slept all day.
"The people and merchants in the city are collecting medicinal materials. Today they have collected a lot of them. They have been made into anti-epidemic potions and distributed to those who were infected. Those who drank the medicine recovered very well. However, I heard that there is another epidemic outside Qinglin City.
Many people gathered and wanted to enter Qinglin City, but the magistrate and His Royal Highness King Ji blocked them outside." Yun Lai said as he brought the bird's nest over.
"By the way, Miss, there is another matter. Mr. He, who was responsible for coming to Qinglin City to appease the people and treat the epidemic, contracted the plague and died of the disease this morning."
Ye Yining was stunned for a moment, "Dead?"
She actually met Mr. He yesterday. He was a good person. Why did he die of illness?
After Yun Lai went to the kitchen to get busy, she called Ye Ze over for questioning.
Yeze didn't dare to lie, so he told him about last night's dinner.
After Ye Yining heard this, a sneer flashed in his eyes, "The prince is really idle and has nothing to do! Then find something for him to do."
"What does the princess want to do?" Ye Ze asked in a low voice.
"Just help the prince to make a name for himself. Doesn't he want to create an image of your master having an indulgent private life and liking wine and meat in the woods? Just help me publicize that the prince and Su Yu'er were involved in promiscuity and contracted the disease..."
Isn't it just a matter of making up stories? She can do that too.
Seeing that the princess was so protective of her master's image, Ye Ze immediately nodded and left to report to his master.
After Jun Jiuji knew what Xiao Ning'er meant, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Just do what the princess wants!"
"yes."
…
Two days later, when the prince was attending the morning court, everyone in the main hall stared at the prince intentionally or unintentionally.
Some people even quietly stayed away from the prince, deliberately keeping a distance.
The prince didn't quite understand it at first and just frowned.
But when his father suddenly called him by name, he panicked.
The emperor said solemnly: "Prince, you won't be coming to court for a while. Judge Hong Yuan, please treat the prince well and make sure to cure those messy diseases so as not to embarrass him again."
Magistrate Hong Yuan was embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, those are just rumors. Your Highness the Crown Prince is in good health and does not have any of those messy diseases."
The emperor glanced at him and said, "There is no smoke without fire. From today on, the prince will stay behind closed doors to recuperate!"
The emperor gave the order and the prince was restrained in disguise.
When the prince returned to his dormitory, he threw things all over the floor and was so angry that his veins were exposed.
"Who is slandering me?"
Magistrate Hong Yuan, who was responsible for treating the prince, said with a headache: "Your Highness, that Su Yu'er has caused you a lot of trouble. You might as well deal with it or carry it into the palace! This will save others from making a fuss."
The prince nodded gloomily, "I understand."
At this moment, a guard hurried over.
"Your Highness, there is a funeral message from Qinglin City, saying that Mr. He contracted the epidemic and died suddenly."
After hearing this, the prince was so angry that he crushed the tea cup in his hand.
Death suddenly?
How could it be such a coincidence!
After all, Xiaojiu is the son of that woman from Leng Gong, so he should not be underestimated.
After being angry for a while, the prince quickly calmed down.
He had to think carefully about what to do next.
If that doesn't work, what about the woman in the cold palace?
