Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

When these words were spoken, everyone present, including the boy in the pharmacy, widened their eyes. Even Su Shengsheng was surprised.

Ling Su appeared out of nowhere and took out the token in his hand. The pharmacy boy was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said with a trembling mouth: "Greetings to the Regent King and Regent Queen."

All the people nearby knelt down and saluted.

The old lady looked at Su Shengsheng in surprise, "You...you are the Regent Princess?"

Su Shengsheng nodded. She didn't want others to know her identity, but Mo Chenyuan told her directly. Now, these people were so respectful, how could they ask her for any other information?

Mo Chenyuan saw Su Shengsheng's worry and ordered Ling Su, "Send people to the outside of the city to check on the villagers. I want to know how many people have contracted the epidemic."

"Yes."

The doctor in the pharmacy heard the noise and ran out. When he saw the scene outside, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees. It was over. He was afraid that his shop would be ruined.

The old lady knelt down hurriedly, "Great, you are the Regent Princess, then my grandson can be saved."

"Old lady, where is your grandson now? Take me to see him."

"Okay, okay, I'll take the princess there right away."

The old lady was about to stand up. Su Shengsheng was about to help her up, but was stopped by the old lady, "I'm dirty, Princess, please don't touch me."

Su Shengsheng didn't care and reached out to help the old lady up. "Old lady, don't say that. All people are born equal. There is no distinction between high and low."

The old lady said with tears in her eyes, "The princess is such a kind person."

"Let's go."

Mo Chenyuan had already ordered someone to bring a carriage to the old lady, and the old lady sat on it gratefully.

Su Shengsheng ordered Ling Su who was standing beside her, "Guard Ling, go and notify the people from Xuanzhong Pavilion to take over the medicine shop, and change the name for this princess to Xuanzhong Pavilion." Su Shengsheng looked at the name of Xuanhu Jiushi hanging above the medicine shop and glanced with disdain at the doctor kneeling below.

Then they got on the carriage, which slowly started to move. Those who had been kneeling on the ground dared to stand up and whispered, "I wonder if the princess's medical skills can really cure the epidemic?"

Someone beside him whispered, "You don't know yet, do you? The poison in the regent's body was cured by the princess."

"Ah? The princess is not from Prime Minister Su's residence. I remember that she was a fool before and liked to follow the third prince."

The people around him immediately covered the mouth of the person who said this, "Hush, the above things are true or false, we just listen to them for fun, don't take them seriously."

Ling Su had excellent hearing. When the two people in the crowd started talking, Ling Su had already heard it. He glanced over with a cold look, and the two people were scared and immediately lowered their heads.

In the carriage, Su Shengsheng stared intently at the steaming teacup on the table. If she remembered correctly, the flood in the south should have occurred shortly after she came to this world. How come after such a long time, the flood has not been resolved?

The weather is getting colder and colder. If the refugees don't get medical treatment or have no place to live, won't they freeze to death, starve to death or die of disease?

Mo Chenyuan looked at Su Shengsheng without saying a word, and then said, "I have already asked someone to investigate, don't worry."

Su Shengsheng looked at Mo Chenyuan, "Your Majesty, don't you know that there is a flood in the south?"

"knowledge

"Then the prince didn't care? Didn't anyone in the court care?"

Mo Chenyuan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "He is in charge of all the affairs of the court. I never interfere."

"I sent people to investigate the flood in the south before, but they didn't find anything because of a lack of information. It's also possible that someone was tampering with the matter."

Su Shengsheng rubbed her chin with her white fingers. "Then according to what the prince said, it must be someone in the court who did something. If we hadn't encountered this incident on the street today, we would have thought that the flood was solved."

Mo Chenyuan didn't say anything, but nodded, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Ah."

The carriage went all the way to the outskirts of the city.

Mo Chenyuan helped Su Shengsheng down from the carriage. The first thing he saw was the dilapidated little village. Looking around, there were only a few intact households in the village.

The people sent by Mo Chenyuan had already arrived and were guarding outside the village. When they saw the Regent and the Regent Princess get off the carriage, they immediately went to greet them.

"Your Majesty, Princess, there are a total of 101 refugees in the village, ten of whom have contracted the plague, and five have died because they did not receive treatment."

Su Shengsheng frowned, and the old lady was helped down from the carriage. "Princess, I'll take you in."

"it is good."

Su Shengsheng turned and looked at Mo Chenyuan, "The prince is waiting for me outside. The situation inside is unclear now, so you'd better not go in."

Mo Chenyuan immediately refused and said, "No, the situation inside is unclear, and I should go in with you."

Su Shengsheng knew that Mo Chenyuan cared about her, but the epidemic inside was contagious, and she didn't want to let Mo Chenyuan go in. If he was infected and she couldn't cure him in a short time, wouldn't the prince suffer in vain?

He patiently persuaded her, "Your Highness, I will go in and take a look at the child and he will come out. You don't know medical skills, so you can't help much if you go in."

Mo Chenyuan knew that Su Shengsheng's decision could not be changed. He knew it last time in Ancheng. If he insisted on going in, it was inevitable that the two of them would argue with each other.

He nodded and said, "Well, I'll send someone to follow."

This was already Mo Chenyuan's biggest concession, so Su Shengsheng had no choice but to nod and tell the people following him to cover their mouths and noses to avoid being infected.

After following the old lady in, an unpleasant smell wafted out from all directions, and the sound of a child crying.

The refugees in the village saw the old lady bringing back a woman dressed so gorgeously, and they all came forward to ask for food.

The guard immediately scolded him, but was stopped by Su Shengsheng, "Go ask someone to prepare some food."

"Yes."

As the old lady walked away, she said to Su Shengsheng, "I'm sorry to have frightened the princess. People here are already struggling to find food, and now some are sick. It's inevitable that they'll get excited when they see strangers."

"It doesn't matter."

The old lady brought Su Shengsheng to the dilapidated house in the middle, "We're here, Princess."

Su Shengsheng looked at the shabby house outside and knew that the inside would not be any better than the outside without even thinking about it.

The old lady lifted the rag-covered curtain and called softly, "Zhan'er..."

Su Shengsheng followed him in and saw that there was only a rotten straw mat in the room. It was so rotten that it was beyond recognition. A little boy about eleven or twelve years old was lying on it.

Su Shengsheng recognized the little boy as Zhan Sheng at first sight, and immediately walked over, "Little Zhan Sheng?"

Zhan Sheng opened his powerless eyes slightly, and murmured: "Beautiful sister..."

The old lady asked in surprise: "Does the princess know our Zhan Sheng?"

Su Shengsheng said as she felt Zhan Sheng's pulse: "Well, I ran into little Zhan Sheng on the street last time, but last time I saw him, there was a young woman next to him."

The old lady sighed, "Zhan Sheng was followed by his aunt that day. A few days ago, in order to find food for Zhan Sheng, his aunt stole someone else's meat buns. As a result..."

The old lady covered her face and cried, "He was beaten to death."

"Then why don't you go into the city and seek justice?"
