Everyone was talking a lot, and they were all spreading rumors, like a messy ball of yarn, and they couldn't figure it out.

"There is something very strange. Princess, do you want to hear it?"

A woman wearing coarse clothes came to Shen Ruzhou's side and hesitated to speak.

Shen Ruzhou was distressed and naturally did not resist any information at the moment. She looked at the woman encouragingly and said, "Please tell me."

……

Outside the palace, Liu Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Revenue quietly got on King Yu's carriage without being noticed by everyone.But all this was clearly seen by Beixiu Yan on the tower.

There was a cold light in his eyes, but his tone was as calm as ever, "How is the matter you asked to check?"

Qin Ming raised his hand, and his subordinates found out that Xu Yuandao had been in close contact with an official recently, especially before the riots in the city. The official stayed at the Kyoto Yamen for almost two hours before leaving. "

"That person is Liu Yuanwailang." Bei Xiuyan's voice was cold, but his tone was expectedly firm.

"Exactly." Qin Ming responded, "Taifu Liu is a member of King Yu's party. He donated an official position to his son in the Ministry of Household Affairs and is also working for King Yu. If it looks like this, Prefect Xu should also be a member of King Yu's party. "

"The salary of the governor of Kyoto is not high, but Xu Yuandao's life is extremely luxurious. He drinks and eats and sings every day. His subordinates are checking his current accounts."

"The emperor has ordered Xu Yuandao to be thrown into prison. You go there with my name card and take him out."

There was murderous intent in Bei Xiuyan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He pulled off his cloak coldly and said in a calm tone, "Even if we torture out that Xu Yuandao is King Yu's person, I'm afraid it will be nothing."

"King Yu will make his choice cleanly, and the emperor will only blame King Yu for being too arbitrary in dealing with the plague, and will not charge him with inciting the people to riot."

"We need more evidence, you have to act fast, understand?"

"Yes."

When Bei Xiuyan walked down the tower, the waiting soldiers had already brought their horses over.

At this time, a man dressed as a guard ran over, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the princess has been waiting in your camp for a long time. She said she has something important to discuss."

"Yes." Bei Xiuyan responded lightly, turned over and climbed onto the horse's back, his movements crisp and clear.

"Go back to the military camp." Bei Xiuyan gave the order briefly without any emotion.

He cracked his whip and the horse galloped away.

He ran far away in an instant. Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and grabbed the reins and hurriedly chased after him.

He was very puzzled: What happened to the prince? There was an urgent military situation before, but he had never seen him running so fast.

Shen Ruzhou was anxiously waiting for the Beixiu Banquet in the temporary tent set up in the backyard of the magistrate's office.

She had been here since she had dealt with the patient. It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the Beixiu banquet had not come yet. She couldn't help but worry. Could it be that someone had attacked someone earlier?

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the camp, and Shen Ruzhou immediately stood up and went out to greet them.

"Prince Regent, you..."

Her words stopped abruptly the moment she saw the person clearly, and the expected expression on her face instantly disappeared and turned into infinite disappointment.

Lu Huaining tilted his little head and looked at it, his eyes full of teasing, "Sister, I guess you are waiting for Master!"

Seeing that Shen Ruzhou didn't speak, Lu Huaining let out a long sigh and pretended to be aggrieved, "My sister is disappointed to see that it's me who is here and not the master. It turns out that in my heart, the master is more important than Huaining!"

"Huaining, don't talk nonsense."

Shen Ruzhou interrupted him helplessly and explained: "I came to see the regent for something. By the way, aren't you and Xiao Chenyan in the military camp? Why are you here?"

"I want to see my sister." Lu Huaining said, pretending to be pitiful and pouting, "Who knew that my sister only wanted to see the master, not me."

"No way?" Shen Ruzhou denied, "I have something urgent to discuss with the regent. You are welcome."

She stepped forward and rubbed Lu Huaining's little head, "There has just been a civil unrest in the city. The military camp is relatively safe at the moment. Don't run around if you are fine."

Lu Huaining raised his face and said seriously: "I didn't run around. Someone came to the military camp to find my sister, so I brought her here."

He avoided Shen Ruzhou's touch of hair, always feeling like she was touching a child.

Shen Ruzhou was a little surprised, "Someone is looking for me? Who is it?"

"You'll know soon!" Lu Huaining blinked and gave a brisk high-five.

The curtain of the tent was lifted again, and a familiar face appeared in front of Shen Ruzhou.

"Miaodong?!"

"Miss!"

Miaodong ran in with a worried look on his face, "Miss, I went to the military camp to find you. They said you were here, so I begged Young Master Lu to bring me here."

She was holding a bundle in her hand, "I'll give the lady some changes of clothes."

After not seeing each other for a few days, Miaodong only felt that Shen Ruzhou had become thinner, and her eyes were red with distress, "Miss, you have to heal soldiers and people at the same time, you must be exhausted, right?"

Shen Ruzhou shook his head, "I'm fine."

She didn't mind the busy days. As long as she could cure the plague, she wasn't afraid of it no matter how hard or tiring it was.

She took the bundle from Miaodong's hand and felt it was heavy. When she opened it, she saw that there was a food box.

Miaodong hurriedly opened the food box, which was filled with Shen Ruzhou's favorite snacks. "These are all made by Miss Ru Lan. I'm afraid she won't be able to eat well outside."

Thinking of her family, Shen Ruzhou was a little worried. Although she had made complete preparations for her family before coming, she still felt uneasy when people were not in front of her.

"How's the situation at home? How are grandma and Sister Rulan doing?"

"Everything is well at home. The old lady is in much better health. She can walk around the yard without any support in the past few days. Miss Rulan is fumigating medicine everywhere in the house every day as she ordered. No one in the family is there. Infected with the plague.”

After Miaodong carefully explained the situation at home, she looked around the camp again and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Miss, this place is too shabby. Miss, take a look at what needs to be added. Miaodong will go back and get it now."

Shen Ruzhou waved his hand, "Don't bother, we have everything here. Go back quickly and help me take care of the house."

Miaodong knew that Shen Ruzhou had something big to do, and she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to. She just carefully took out a sachet from her arms and handed it to Shen Ruzhou.

"Miss, it's nothing more than anything else. You must wear this amulet. It can keep you safe."

Shen Ruzhou took a look and felt that his head was big. Why did this little girl bring this ring?
