Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 61 Reporting the Secret of the Back Mountain
The emperor calmed down, sat up straight with a little embarrassment, and said to everyone: "I was really too excited, I couldn't control myself for a moment, and made Qinghe laugh at me."
Chu Qinghe really didn't feel anything, and said, "The emperor cried because these crops can fill the stomachs of the people of Dasheng, which shows that the emperor is a good emperor who cares about his people and has the country in his heart. This is a blessing for all the people of Dasheng."
After hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Baili Chuyuan no longer felt embarrassed. He said to Chu Qinghe with a smile, "Little girl, the crops you presented have saved the people of the country. I want to reward you well. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Chu Qinghe stepped forward and said, "This is what we should do as citizens of Dasheng. We really don't need any reward. If the emperor must reward me, I think I can accumulate gold, silver, and jewelry by myself through business. It would be better if the emperor gave me a plaque and you wrote it yourself: The Imperial Merchant of the World. This way I can hang it at the door of my house and use it in business in the future. With the title bestowed by the emperor, people will look up to me wherever I go."
Baili Chuyuan thought that this request was not excessive and could be met.
"The little girl is still doing business. What kind of business is she doing?"
"Your Majesty, after I discovered these crops, I hired people to open up wasteland and grow these crops. I also opened two factories in the village, one for breeding and the other for winemaking. In the future, I will do some business related to these two factories." As he said this, he ran behind the screen and pretended that there was something behind the screen. In fact, he took it out from the space on a whim. When he came out again, everyone saw Chu Qinghe holding a jar with the word "white wine" written on it.
Chu Qinghe put the wine on the table and said, "This is the liquor that my winery will produce in the future. You can have a taste when you have time."
Baili Chuyuan looked at the jar of wine and opened the lid. A fresh fragrance wafted out and penetrated every inch of his skin, making him want to drink it immediately. He resisted and put the lid back.
The wine smelled like the best wine, and it was not comparable to the wine he was drinking now. He was the first to receive such a good wine, and the emperor said happily: "Okay, you are thoughtful. When you go back, I will have someone make a plaque as soon as possible, and then issue an imperial decree to you. From now on, you will be the imperial merchant. I will support you in business."
Chu Qinghe was happy now. Everyone knows that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade, especially the biggest supporter of the Dasheng Kingdom.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Baili Chuyuan looked at his son and said, "Ye'er, Qinghe wants to set up a factory and do business. There are many things to do. Give her some people you trust to help her with the work so that she won't be tired alone."
"Yes, I understand. Xiaohe wants to recall the soldiers who have returned home from the battlefield. This will solve everyone's livelihood problems and also solve Xiaohe's employment problems."
When the emperor heard Ye'er's reply, his eyes lit up. This girl cares about the people and is so compassionate to the disabled. She is a kind, righteous and loving child. Every year, there are many soldiers coming back from the battlefield. Each time, they are given a pension of a few taels of silver and sent back to their hometown to make a living. It's not that the emperor does not want to give them more silver or solve their livelihood problems, but that Dasheng is too poor and he really cannot afford it.
Now with Chu Qinghe's help, at least some problems can be solved. Will things be better in the future?
He looked at Chu Qinghe, "You are a good child. I thank you on behalf of the soldiers around Dasheng. Thank you. If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me and let Ye'er do it."
"Yes." Chu Qinghe replied.
"Yer, father was very happy to hear that you were still alive. He thought it would take some time for you to show up. I wonder why you suddenly appeared in the capital?"
Baili Ye thought about the purpose of his return and said solemnly, "I came back this time because I am worried about my mother's health. I also want to hand these crops over to my father to see where they can be planted. Now we can barely harvest one season. I also have an important matter that I have to come back to prepare in advance."
The emperor looked at Ye'er's serious expression and frowned, saying, "I'll have to trouble Qinghe for the first two things. Please tell me about the third thing first!"
Baili Ye agreed. He bowed and said, "Father, a few days ago, Xiaohe went to the back mountain to pick herbs and accidentally came to a cave in the back mountain. He heard a loud shouting inside and felt something was wrong.
Because that mountain is known as the Death Mountain, no one who went up the mountain many years ago came back alive. Gradually, everyone spread the rumor that there were wild beasts on the mountain, and no one who went up the mountain survived, so now no one goes to the back mountain. Qinghe told me about this after she came back. I sent people to investigate which mechanism was triggered, but they were discovered by the patrol. Several people who investigated were seriously injured and came back. Later, I went to investigate several times in person before I discovered the secret. "As he spoke, he took out a few paintings from his arms. These were repainted by Baili Ye based on the little girl's sketches. Except for the different brushes and techniques, they were equally lifelike and superb. The emperor took it, first glanced at the picture in the painting casually, and then lowered his head to confirm.
He looked at Baili Ye and asked, "Xue Guiliang? Who is the person next to him?"
"This man is my Left Commandant Xiao Kun, who was killed in the battle three years ago." After saying this, he looked at his father meaningfully.
"Are they in the back mountain?" Without waiting for his son to answer, he looked carefully and saw rows of soldiers standing in an orderly manner on the training grounds with each layer lower than the other. Thirty or forty fields were full of soldiers.
Turn to the next page, there is a picture viewed from the bottom up. There are houses under each training ground, lined up in rows. People live in the houses and train on the roofs.
He turned another page and saw photos of the cave medicine man. Some of them were very clear. Baili Chuyuan looked at them carefully and asked in shock, "Is this Qin Minglang?"
"Yes, father, this is a picture in the cave in the back mountain. There is a miracle doctor in it who is making medicine. Qin Minglang is one of them. When I searched for Minglang's body on the battlefield, I didn't even find a single personal item. I was very sad at that time. I didn't expect that he was not dead at all, but was imprisoned.
I have rescued Qin Minglang and the others in the cave. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I replaced the medicine men with dummies, fearing that they would be discovered if time went on for a long time. So I came back in person to report the matter to my father. "
Baili Chuyuan looked at the paintings clearly, and the situation in the back mountain flashed through his mind. The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he slammed several paintings on the table.
"This is absurd. Over the years, the third brother has been filial and respectful to his brothers, but I didn't expect that he would develop such a rebellious heart. If it weren't for the fact that the old thief Xue had saved the late emperor, I would not have indulged him again and again. First, I canonized his daughter as a concubine, and then step by step made her a noble concubine. In the past few years, he has been forming cliques for the third brother, and I turned a blind eye to it. Now it seems that this cancer is growing bigger and bigger. I indulged them too much."
"This matter is of great importance. Father is now in the prime of his life, and there is no way he would fight for the position of crown prince. I was also shocked when I saw these things in the back mountain. Xue Guiliang said that he would take advantage of the death of his son to deal with you. I was afraid that there would be complications and you would be caught off guard, so I hurried back to report to you. I have almost collected the evidence, and we just need to catch him in the act. I just don't know how Father will arrange it?"
Baili Chuyuan pondered for a while: "How many people are stationed in the back mountain now?"
"I roughly estimate that there are about 4 people."
"This third brother is so bold, he is trying to usurp the throne. He has raised 40,000 soldiers without anyone noticing. Since he wants this position, I will wait for him to take it. We can just take advantage of his trick and do this when things explode~~~"
Baili Chuyuan was talking quietly to Baili Ye, who responded from time to time, offered suggestions, and told his father that Chu Qinghe had a medicine that could be used to subdue the soldiers in the back mountain, so that the rebels in the back mountain could be dealt with without losing a single soldier.
Baili Chuyuan was very happy and said frankly that Chu Qinghe was a meritorious contributor to Dasheng. After this matter was over, he would grant them a marriage and let Baili Ye marry the little girl as soon as possible.
Chu Qinghe had no objection now. After the matter was settled, it would take at least half a year from the issuance of the decree to the wedding, and she could get married by then. Baili Ye and the Queen were extremely excited after hearing this. Baili Ye met Chu Qinghe in his dreams every night, and he was almost going crazy. He had to marry his beloved girl home, even if it was just to look at her.
The Emperor and the Empress were worried about their son's marriage because of this. Although he was a royal prince, the women around them had always been reluctant to get married. This had become a source of worry for the Emperor and the Empress, as they were afraid that bad rumors about their son would break out one day.
Now, his daughter-in-law is excellent and his son likes her. This kind of mutual affection is the most precious. Just like him and the emperor, they are in perfect harmony with each other.
"Okay, okay, then I will prepare secretly, and when things are over, we will hold the wedding ceremony as soon as possible."
Baili Chuyuan looked at the queen with a smile and agreed.
The emperor thought of Qin Minglang, a child he had watched grow up, and who was a good brother to Baili Ye, so close that they could wear the same pants.
In a war three years ago, everyone thought that Qin Minglang had died on the battlefield. He was the most promising grandchildren of the Qin family. Everyone felt very sad and heartbroken for a while, and the Qin family was shrouded in dark clouds.
Old Madam Qin was devastated by this. As the old saying goes, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the elderly.
The two people that Madam Qin loved most in her life left her one after another. When she lost her first beloved child, she had her little grandson by her side to amuse her, and she learned to bury her pain deep in her heart. Later, when her little grandson passed away, her support was completely gone.
For three years, Old Madam Qin has been bedridden and lifeless. The only thing that remains unchanged is that she recites scriptures every day, praying to God to bless her two children so that they can be reborn as soon as possible and become happy children in the next life.
"If the Qin family knew that Minglang was still alive, they would be very happy. How is Minglang doing now?" The emperor asked Baili Ye in a deep voice.
"Luckily, Xiao He is here this time. She has already removed the silver needles that controlled him and the other medicine men, and is now detoxifying Ming Lang. He still has some consciousness now, but because he was controlled for too long, he only woke up once in the middle and was in a coma the rest of the time. When he stabilizes after a while, Xiao He will proceed with the next step of treatment."
"Okay, I feel relieved with you two here. I will tell your eldest brother about this matter. You can report the progress of the matter at any time. This will be the last chance for the third brother to repent. You must be extremely careful in your actions.
Recently, the Xue family has been making trouble in the court, making friends with court officials everywhere, trying to win them over. Some people have also recommended people to replace you, but I rejected them all. It seems that they have been planning for a long time. At the birthday banquet of General Qin, the third brother married Qin Fu to meet General Qin alone in the study. It seems that he went prepared.
Qinghe, you are a good doctor. Go to the Qin residence secretly tonight and tell General Qin that Minglang is alive. I believe that Madam Qin's illness will be almost cured. You can also prescribe some medicine for her. "
"Okay, we'll go in the evening." Baili Ye and Chu Qinghe looked at each other, bowed and said to their father.
"Qinghe, then you should check on the queen first. Since she took the medicine you prepared, her health has been getting better day by day. Can you take a look at her to see if she is okay?"
"Okay, please give me your hand, Queen, so I can feel your pulse."
Chu Qinghe responded and said to the queen. Then he put his hand on the queen's hand and started the medical scanning system. It was indeed poisoning. The name of this poison is very nice: Beauty. It can make the poisoned person appear sickly and weak, and make people pity them. The symptoms are similar to those of a cold. Ordinary doctors can't diagnose it at all. It will make people die slowly in weakness. Another partner of this poison is the Gu worm. It is a tool used for palace fighting in the ancient harem.
If I hadn't come here and used the space Lingquan water to make medicine for the queen, the queen's life would have been almost gone. Chu Qinghe continued to investigate carefully, and indeed scanned a Gu worm near the queen's heart. The system analyzed that this Gu worm was the legendary "beauty" partner - Xiaoyan.
Smile usually sleeps and survives by sucking the poisonous blood from the host. The poisonous blood nourishes the Gu worm and suppresses it at the same time. When the Gu worm matures in the human body, it gets rid of the control of the "beauty" and starts to play its own role. Under its influence, the host feels like recovering from a serious illness and being reborn. The main thing is that the body becomes extremely graceful and the face becomes soft and beautiful, giving people a feeling of bewitching and decadent. Once having sex with someone, the poison in the body will be transferred to the man's body. If the woman's "beauty" poison is eliminated, Smile will eat the host's internal organs, and the host will die in heart-wrenching pain.
Over time, if a man has been fed with the "strong man" poisonous insect for a period of time, the two will combine and the man will die suddenly within ten days, and there will be no clues at all.
After checking the queen's condition, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although this poison was recorded in the medical system, it had never been exposed to this poison. Judging from the current situation, if the poisoner wanted the host to die, he would only poison the host with the "beauty" poison. Now that the "beauty" and "smile" exist in the queen's body at the same time, the thoughts of the poisoner can be imagined.
