When she heard the Sixth Princess’ words, Consort Shu’s expression did not change and she said with a smile, “How would Mother Consort know about such matters? If you have time to think about this, you might as well think about how to comfort the sidekick back at home.”
Not the mother consort.
The Sixth Princess breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her usual relaxed expression, “What Mother Consort said was true.”
……
Inside the imperial study, after listening to the words of Dowager Doctor Liu, the emperor was in a good mood, whoever had done this to Song Si had done him a great favour, he was worried that he would not be able to find a chance to clean up Song Si.
“Although Song Si was removed from office because of the pill, but he donated one million taels of silver together with Song Wan Yue back then, he is after all a credit to the court, you must do your best, but whatever little you can do to keep him alive.”
“Yes.”
The emperor waved his hand and told Imperial Doctor Liu to withdraw, once the people had left, he got up, “Prepare the palanquin and go to Kunli Palace.”
Hearing the report, Consort Xiao Xian came out to greet her, and before she could kneel down, she was helped up by His Majesty and led into the house by her hand.
He rarely made such intimate gestures, and Consort Xiao was very uneasy in her heart. Sure enough, just as she sat down, she heard His Majesty say, “Song Si was assassinated last night, the other party’s sword was smeared with poison, and even Dr. Liu couldn’t cure it, I’m afraid ……”
Consort Xiao Xianfei stood up abruptly ……
Noticing that she had lost her manners, she apologized, “Your Majesty, see you ……”
The emperor helped her to sit down, “I know you are shocked, I was even more shocked than you when I heard it, under the foot of the emperor, there is someone who is so bold, I have given an order to the Shuntian government, let them find out as soon as possible.”
……
The military camp was 30 miles away from the capital.
Song Wangyue and Song Yin looked at each other.
The emperor had been trying to deal with them for years, so it didn’t make sense that they wouldn’t use it now that they had the chance, unless there was something else going on in the capital.
“You go back to the city first, I’ll go with them.”
Song Yin nodded his head and watched them go far away before he pushed his horse into the city. He hadn’t gone far before he learned of Song Si’s poisoning, not from someone, but from all the people talking about it.
Song Yin took this opportunity to go to the Duke of Ding’s residence.
He was shocked and delighted that he was so bold as to come unapologetically, and delighted that after a few years, he had become more composed.
“Your Excellency ……”
Song Yin clasped his fist and performed a Jianghu salute, “I’ve come to see my elder brother.”
He and Song Wan Yue were already betrothed, and Song Si was naturally his elder brother.
Duke Ding concealed the excitement in his heart and personally led his people over.
Inside the house, the Duke of Ding’s wife and Xiao Zheng and his wife were all present.
Xiao Zheng knew it was him, and his eyes could not help but fall on him.
The Duke of Ding’s wife, Lady Xiao Zheng and Xiao Yao did not know, and simply thought he was here to see Song Si. Xiao Yao hissed, “Where is Yue’er?”
“She went to the military camp, afraid that you are worried, let me come to tell, how is big brother?”
Xiao Yao moved her body away and let him see for himself.
Song Si’s face was blue and black, and his breathing was extremely thin.
Song Yin had listened to the chatter all the way, even though he had prepared his heart, he was still frightened, turning around and heading out, “I’ll go get Yue’er to come over.”
Song Wan Yue arrived at the entrance of the barracks.
The little eunuch had a thin voice, “His Majesty has ordered Song Wan Yue to come to the barracks to look at the soldiers.”
The door of the barracks was opened and the eunuch led Song Wangyue inside.
Everywhere he went, the soldiers looked at Song Wangyue in a very unkind way.
It was because of the problem with the pills she made that the brothers who were training with her got typhoid fever, and their illnesses were getting worse and worse, and if the military doctor hadn’t found it in time, those brothers might have lost their lives.
The young eunuch naturally saw all this in his eyes and glanced at Song Wangyue from the corner of his eyes. He did not believe that under so many unkind eyes, Song Wangyue could still be calm, as long as she was in disarray, everything behind her could go according to plan.
As if sensing his gaze, Song Wan Yue looked over and the young eunuch hastily lowered his head.
“Stand still!”
A majestic voice came out.
The two men stopped in their tracks.
The soldier who led them in stepped forward, “Commander, this is Song Wangyue.”
The man who spoke fell on Song Wangyue, who was so delicate and weak, but such a girl dared to go to the capital four years ago to sue the emperor?
Song Wangyue also looked at him, he was in his thirties, tall, probably having been in battle, and carried the aura of bloodshed on his body. At this moment, he hadn’t collected his aura, and he pressed those within three steps of him to catch their breath.
A cold sweat was already breaking out on the young eunuch’s forehead.
But Song Wangyue was calm and collected, as if she did not feel the pressure, and nodded towards the man.
The man turned around and walked in a direction as if he didn’t see it, his face expressionless.
“Why are you still standing there? Don’t follow!”
The soldier who had led them over urged.
The young eunuch hastily lifted his legs and followed, while Song Wangyue walked behind in an unhurried manner.
The man led them to the room where the patient was placed.
It was a large room, capable of holding fifty to sixty people, and the patients inside were coughing, drowsy, and unconscious.
The military doctor was taking their pulse one by one.
There used to be pills and soldiers with typhoid fever would take a few and be cured; he hadn’t been this busy for years.
“She’s ……”
The young eunuch deliberately raised his voice, and just as he said two words, the man looked over with authority, and the young eunuch was so frightened that he silenced his voice.
The military doctor heard the movement and got up to salute, “Commander.”
“How are they?”
The army doctor wiped a handful of sweat from his head, “Not too good.”
He had relied too heavily on the pills, and only after the soldiers had taken them for a few days and were not well did he notice that something was wrong; some of them had wind chills that had penetrated their hearts and lungs and were in very bad shape.
As soon as he spoke, he saw a young girl walk up to an unconscious soldier and bend down to squeeze the soldier’s wrist.
The medic froze in his tracks.
Why was there a girl in the barracks? It looked like she could do medicine?
Healing!
He took three steps forward and two steps back, waiting with bated breath for Song Wangyue’s pulse to come back, he was really at his wits’ end and wanted to ask the commander to ask the doctor to come over.
Song Wan Yue frowned slightly, she did change the herbs, but she only changed the best herbs to lesser ones, the effect of the medicine would be reduced, but it would not aggravate the condition.
“Bring me the pills and I’ll take a look.”
The military doctor looked at the commander and saw him nod, so he sent someone to bring over a few pills.
Song Wangyue let go of her hand and took the pills, putting them under her nose and smelling them.
After sniffing several pills, she handed them back to the medic, “Bring a pen, I’ll write a prescription, and you can have someone take the medicine for them.”
“You, you are ……”
The military doctor had a guess in his mind.
“Song Wangyue.”
“You’re Song Wangyue?”
A soldier lying on the bed next to her sat up angrily and pointed at her nose, “You’re the one earning unscrupulous money and causing us all to lie here with a small wind chill.”
