God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Prince Yu picked up the secret letter from the ground.

He took a deep breath, carefully unfolded the letter, and quickly scanned the densely written words on it.

However, after reading the contents of the letter, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, as if he had been knocked down heavily by an invisible force.

A storm surged in his heart: "This matter has actually reached the capital... What should I do now? Everything is over!"

Prince Yu was seen holding the secret letter tightly with trembling hands, his lips slightly parted but he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to raise his head and looked at the emperor who was high above him, and stammered, "Father...Emperor, this...this..."

At this time, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne was already furious. He slammed the table hard, causing the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to jump.

The emperor's eyes widened and he asked sternly, "Look at yourself, how do you manage things? Now that the military rations have been robbed, the entire 450,000-man army is about to face the danger of running out of food. What do you think we should do?"

Hearing this, Prince Yu was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He quickly knelt on his knees and kowtowed loudly.

Soon a red and swollen patch appeared on his forehead, but he did not dare to stop. He kowtowed and shouted loudly: "Father, I am really wronged! I really didn't know that the military rations would be robbed. Who is so bold as to hijack the imperial army's rations?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was immediately furious and snorted, "Unfair? Such an important matter was handed over to you, and you dared to shamelessly claim that you knew nothing about it? I think you are clearly neglecting your duties and perfunctorily doing things!"

Prince Yu was shocked when he heard this. He knelt on his knees and cried, "Father, please understand. I have been working diligently and have never been lazy. I am willing to issue a military order to arrest the robbers and recover the military rations!"

The emperor looked at him coldly: "Okay! I'll give you a chance. If you can't solve this matter as soon as possible, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Prince Yu kowtowed in thanks and said, "Thank you, father. I will do my best to fulfill my mission!"

After Prince Yu walked out of the palace, he raised his hand and gently wiped the cold sweat that kept oozing out of his forehead. His originally handsome face now looked extremely gloomy, as if shrouded in a thick layer of haze.

After Prince Yu hurried back to the palace, he immediately summoned his loyal and trusted advisers to the conference room to discuss important matters.

After everyone arrived, Prince Yu said with a worried and anxious look on his face: "Everyone, the current situation is extremely terrible for me! My father has ordered me to quickly find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but where can I start looking? It's really a headache!" After saying that, he sighed heavily.

At this time, Li Jiefei, who was standing nearby, stepped forward, bowed and suggested: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, why don't we find a scapegoat to take the blame for this crime? This may help solve the current urgent problem."

However, before Prince Yu could express his opinion, Wang Yang on the other side shook his head and refuted: "Brother Li, what you said is wrong! The current emperor is so wise and intelligent. It is probably not easy to fool him with this method. If the emperor finds out the clues, not only will the matter not be settled, but it will put you in a more passive situation."

Upon hearing what Wang Yang said, Prince Yu flew into a rage and slammed the table in front of him, causing the teacups on the table to jump up and the tea splashed all over the table.

He stared with his eyes wide open, glaring at everyone, and shouted at them, "Since none of you can come up with any good ideas, why don't you tell me what we should do? You can't just sit there and wait to die!"

For a moment, the entire conference room was silent, everyone kept their heads down and remained silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Early the next morning, the sun shone through the palaces, casting a golden glow, and the court was filled with solemnity.

Eunuch Shun's sharp and loud voice rang out: "Go to court——"

Immediately afterwards, all the ministers knelt down and saluted, shouting "Long live the emperor!"

After all the formalities were completed, the Emperor sat high on the dragon throne, swept his eyes majestically over the princes, and said, "I received a secret report yesterday that our army's food and grass were hijacked by bandits! Now the army is short of food and the situation is critical. I wonder if you have any countermeasures?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves, and the originally quiet court suddenly became agitated.

The ministers standing on one side were whispering to each other.

Someone looked shocked and said in a low voice: "Military rations could be robbed. Who is so bold?"

Another person echoed worriedly: "Without sufficient food supply, how can we continue the war?"

Even worse, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: "If we lose this battle, the consequences will be disastrous..."

The emperor spoke majestically: "Prince Yu, please tell us what you think about this matter."

Prince Yu stepped forward respectfully, cupped his hands and responded, "Father, in my opinion, the most urgent task is to quickly send personnel to transport food to the border to solve the urgent problem. At the same time, we need to send capable personnel to find out who was responsible for this incident, so that we can solve the problem at its root."

The prime minister heard this and quickly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty! If the army does not have sufficient food and grass, how can the soldiers fight with peace of mind? This is a matter of national security!"

The emperor nodded slightly, looked at William Chan, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Chen, I order you to immediately arrange manpower to transport military rations to the border."

Minister of Finance Chen Weiting hurried out, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I accept your order! I will live up to your majesty's trust and complete this task as soon as possible."

After William Chan left, the emperor asked again, "So, are there any other candidates willing to take over the investigation of this case?"

Prince Yu stepped forward without hesitation and said loudly: "Father, I am willing to take over and investigate this matter myself. I will definitely fulfill my mission, find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and give an explanation to the court!"

However, after hearing this, the emperor did not immediately agree as everyone expected.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly swept his gaze over the ministers in the court. After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "I wonder if anyone here is willing to take over?"

For a moment, the entire court fell into deathly silence.

The ministers looked at each other, lowered their heads and said nothing. No one dared to accept the task.

After all, this case involves a wide range of people and the circumstances are complicated and confusing. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble and even affect your family.

Upon seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but frown slightly, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes became more and more obvious.

He withdrew his gaze from the ministers and turned to look at the princes standing in the front row, finally settling on the fourth prince Jun Molin.

The emperor thought for a moment, then said slowly, "Fourth Brother, since no one else is willing to take over, you and Prince Yu will investigate this matter together. This is a rare opportunity, you must learn from your second brother and don't let me down!"

The Fourth Prince was shocked at first when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses and bowed, saying, "Yes, Father! I will do my best to fulfill my mission. Please rest assured, Father!"

At this time, the emperor saw that everything had been arranged properly, so he coughed lightly and said in a clear voice: "If you have nothing else to report, you can leave the court."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Shun, who was standing aside, hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Withdraw - from the court -" With this shout, all the ministers knelt on the ground and saluted, respectfully seeing the emperor off from the court.

After the emperor disappeared from sight, everyone stood up one by one and filed out. The huge court hall instantly became empty and quiet.
