It takes time for Jiang Lili to deliver the medicinal materials to the capital.

Moreover, Qi Yun's epidemic treatment could not be accomplished overnight, so he set up a treatment center for severe epidemic patients based on the existing medicinal materials in the warehouse, providing door-to-door treatment and treatment by number.

This move was bound to cause dissatisfaction among patients who had just been infected with the epidemic. In addition, some people were deliberately fanning the flames. At this time, rumors were spreading among the people that the court treated them differently and did not take their lives seriously. After curing Marquis Chengyang, they no longer cared about it, causing panic among the people.

Some people also saw that the imperial physicians who prescribed medicines were short of staff, so they wanted to form a group to grab the medicine for seriously ill patients.

However, he was stopped by King Jin's men.

The King of Jin had no choice but to serve as the supervisor to maintain order.

Now that the epidemic is rampant in the capital, he dares not go out to attract attention and stays in the palace obediently.

I don't know since when the princess has become more aggressive and smarter. She used to just play around, but now she's serious!

The princess had put a poison on him that was inhumane, and he couldn't even speak up and complain to his father.

Moreover, the economic power of Prince Jin's Mansion was quietly controlled by Princess Hou Xiaoxiao.

Now he has to depend on the princess's favor to survive in the palace, which is really depressing.

What's even more outrageous is that he used to use the 32 concubines in the mansion to piss off Hou Xiaoxiao.

However, now the 32 concubines in the palace not only no longer fight for the princess' favor, but they all side with the princess, calling her "good sister" all the time, and are more enthusiastic towards her than towards him. Is it just because he is inhumane?

He really suspected that Hou Xiaoxiao had also put a curse on these concubines!

In the following days, the price of medicinal materials in the capital continued to rise, and rumors unfavorable to the royal family and Qi Yun continued to circulate.

The situation is extremely tense, and Yu Hao is afraid that Qi Yun's position as the chief epidemic control officer will no longer be stable.

Some ministers and doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau frequently complained to Emperor Qingning.

The spearhead was directed at Qi Yun, and the current chaos in the capital seemed to be due to Qi Yun's youthful recklessness and poor management.

Mao hour, in the Golden Palace.

During this morning court session, many officials stood up and seemingly "pleaded" for Qi Yun, but in fact they jointly filed a complaint to remove Qi Yun from his position as the chief official in charge of epidemic prevention:

"Your Majesty, some of Lord Qi's requests are really difficult for us. Moreover, the herbs needed for the epidemic prescription cannot be bought even if we have money. It is really forcing us to do something that is out of our control."

"Your Majesty, Lord Qi is young and has little experience in coordination, so it is inevitable that some mistakes will occur. I hope Your Majesty will not blame Lord Qi~"

There was a chorus of condemnation against Qi Yun in the court. Some officials were so angry that they spitted when they accused Qi Yun.

Qi Yun was well-dressed and remained unmoved, pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth: "Thank you all for your understanding. Qi does have many shortcomings."

He held the jade board and said to the officials who had just been arrested: "You are all outstanding officials in the court and have extraordinary abilities. I hope you will work harder to make up for Qi's shortcomings."

"This way, Qi will have fewer worries and more time to study ways to treat the epidemic."

The officials who denounced Qi Yun secretly cursed the young man for being shameless. Not only did he agree to it, but he also urged them to work harder. How shameless!

The Minister of Personnel Jiang Zhoulin, Jiang Lili's scumbag father, was part of the joint boycott of Qi Yun. He was good friends with Lang Daowen, the left judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau. This young man had touched the interests of these old guys, so naturally they could not tolerate him.

Seeing Qi Yun so calm, he muttered, "What's the use of being good at talking? Qi Yun can't control the situation now. I'll see that His Majesty will remove him as the chief of epidemic prevention!"

Sure enough, after the eunuch Zhou Jushan announced the end of the court session, Emperor Qingning asked Qi Yun to go to his imperial study.

The officials who had just jointly accused Qi Yun looked at each other tacitly, all of them determined to win.

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Qingning looked at Qi Yun with concern: "Qi Aiqing, tell me, is the task I have given you too difficult for you now? If you find it strenuous, why not..."

"His Majesty!"

Qi Yun bowed deeply and said righteously: "This is the first time I have taken on such a heavy burden. It is indeed not easy, but when I think of the people who are still suffering, I can get through it by gritting my teeth."

Emperor Qingning sighed at Qi Yun's righteous attitude. He also understood that no one could be perfect in this epidemic. "This is not a solution. You are in an important position now. I have given you so many privileges. You should do something to stop the gossip."

"I used to be very optimistic about you, but your current performance makes me a little disappointed."

Here it comes, the classic tactic used by leaders to suppress others in the workplace.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Qi Yun said calmly, "There are many people in the capital who care about the people of Dasheng just like me. They are now helping me stabilize the situation."

"It takes time for the ice to freeze three feet thick. I hope Your Majesty will give me and these heroes who have worked silently some time. Then, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Oh? Can you tell me who else is helping you?"

Emperor Qingning was curious, and he was also testing Qi Yun's ability. Although he gave Qi Yun the privilege verbally, these old foxes in the court were good at playing Tai Chi.

In such a situation, Qi Yun could still call for help? This is much more pleasing than those officials in the court who can only complain.

"Your Majesty, the imperial edict you posted in the capital has not been removed yet. Princess Jin received the imperial edict the day before yesterday."

Qi Yun gave Emperor Qingning a surprise with just one sentence: "It doesn't matter if the medicinal materials in the prescription are in short supply. I have already researched a second set of prescriptions with the help of Princess Jin. The medicinal materials used in the second prescription are quite different from those in the first one, but they have the same effect."

Qi Yun took out the second prescription from his sleeve and said, "I developed this prescription based on the Miaojiang secret recipe that Princess Jin provided to me."

The personal eunuch Zhou Jushan took the prescription from him and presented it to Emperor Qingning.

Zhou Jushan was already shocked and numbed by Qi Yun, the perverted test-taker. It was not enough for this fellow to study one set of prescriptions. He kept saying "a problem has multiple solutions" and worked day and night to come up with a second prescription.

Qi Yun's contribution to curing the epidemic this time was already extremely great, so he took his classmates with him and gave the second prescription to Hou Xiaoxiao.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Ying's prescription is indeed effective for patients with severe illnesses, but it is a bit too strong for patients with mild symptoms."

Qi Yun told Emperor Qingning the difference between the two prescriptions: "And the prescription of Princess Jin is very effective in treating patients who have just contracted the epidemic."

Emperor Qingning was extremely shocked. In such a short period of time, Qi Yun actually came up with two prescriptions!

Zhou Jushan's expression was exaggerated with surprise at this time: "Your Majesty, several major epidemics in the history of Dasheng took a long time to find a solution, and now, there is more than one prescription that can cure the epidemic. This shows that God blesses you, the emperor!"
