Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

This grand and lively party lasted until late at night, when the people reluctantly left. Yun Yuxi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and take a short rest. She immediately ordered everyone to take turns to rest. When everyone heard this order, they felt as if they had been pardoned, and finally they were able to enjoy this rare quiet time and fall into a sweet dream.

"Guangyu, if Liu Lin hadn't committed suicide, he would have been respected and appreciated by the court when he returned to the capital. It's a pity that he is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and he looks down on women. However, how can a princess be compared to an ordinary woman?"

"Brother Zicong is absolutely right! Our participation in the plague relief effort this time is truly beneficial to the people and is truly a crucial turning point in our lives! After this incident, I have completely realized what a benevolent doctor is. I have to say that little Zhao Yun is far-sighted and took the princess as his teacher without hesitation. Even I am a little moved!" Wang Mingjie, who is usually taciturn, actually spoke with a smile on his face.

"That's right. Although I'm extremely busy today, I'm in a particularly good mood tonight. It seems that you are all too excited to fall asleep. After returning to Kyoto, I will definitely follow the example of little Zhao Yun and become the princess's disciple!" Li Yuhang responded without changing his expression and without hiding his inner thoughts.

"Haha, you can call me Senior Brother from now on," Xiao Zhaoyun, who had just come back from the bathroom, just happened to hear Li Yuhang's words, and he was so happy that his mouth was cracked.

The emotions of the imperial doctors became more and more excited, as if they had found a common language, and miraculously reached the same opinion! They secretly made up their minds that after returning to the capital, they would persuade their family members to let them go to Yun Yuxi to be their teacher. The most excited person at this moment was the young man named Xiao Zhaoyun. He was thinking happily, imagining that everyone would respectfully call him "senior brother" in the future. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but grin and laugh, and even woke up from his sleep from time to time.

I only heard someone shouting loudly: "Everyone, work harder! The princess is about to leave today, and the umbrella and the quilt must be made as soon as possible! Everyone, please be quick! The princess has saved the lives of poor people like us. She is like a second parent to us. It is indeed a great favor! Our poor family does not have anything valuable to thank the princess with, but we can at least sew a quilt for her and the doctors to show our gratitude!" The speaker was an elderly man. He directed everyone in an orderly manner, while stroking the goatee on his chin, and spoke slowly.

At this time, a thin, dark-skinned man hurried forward to support the old man called Wan Bo, and comforted him: "Wan Bo, please sit down and rest for a while! The aunts are all clever and skillful, and I believe they can complete this task smoothly. Besides, there are many people in Lingcheng, so it should not be a problem to make enough patchwork clothes. In this way, everyone brought by the princess should be able to have a share!"

"Uncle Wan! It's bad! Prefect Wang is here! He brought with him our Lingcheng's wealthy businessmen, respected gentry, and officials of all ranks! I don't know what they want to do!" A young man came running towards them in a hurry, shouting in panic as he ran.

Hearing this, Wan Bo's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, but he quickly calmed down and comforted: "Don't be afraid, child. Maybe Lord Wang is just doing his job." As he spoke, Magistrate Wang strode into the yard, followed by a group of people.

Prefect Wang smiled, bowed to Uncle Wan and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wan. I came here today just to see the progress of the patchwork clothes you have prepared. In recent days, Lingcheng has been ravaged by plague and the people have suffered. Fortunately, the princess has been kind-hearted and has come to help and save the people. We are deeply moved and have come to express our gratitude." After saying that, he turned around and glanced at the people behind him. Those people nodded in agreement, indicating that they were definitely not here to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Wan Bo hurriedly invited Prefect Wang to take a seat and asked the simple and kind villagers to quickly serve steaming hot tea. After experiencing this terrible plague, the people who were usually pampered and accustomed to fine clothes and delicious food would no longer despise this ordinary bowl of tea. They picked up the tea bowls without hesitation, gulped down the tea, and then showed a kind and amiable smile, looking at the simple and unpretentious people in front of them with gentle eyes.

Prefect Wang thought for a moment, then turned to Uncle Wan and said, "Master Wan, in my opinion, we should make two of these umbrellas. After all, if there is only one umbrella, the princess will be in the spotlight, like being roasted by a raging fire. Although the princess has made great contributions this time, as the saying goes, 'All under heaven belongs to the king'. In the final analysis, this supreme merit should belong to the current emperor!"

Wan Bo frowned and fell into deep thought. He carefully pondered the intricate relationships and potential impacts, and after a while, he suddenly understood these subtleties. It turned out that although the princess was of noble status, she was just a weak woman after all. If she enjoyed the umbrella that symbolized the people's admiration and love alone, and Your Majesty did not have it, I am afraid that Your Majesty would inevitably feel alienated and dissatisfied.

"Lord Wang! It's a pity that time is too short and there is no time to make more preparations. What should we do in this situation?" Uncle Wan said worriedly.

At this time, a wealthy businessman stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wan. Let us handle this matter! After all, we are all part of Lingcheng. Most of you here have settled down and made a fortune here. I will immediately send a dozen skilled embroiderers in my family to obey your orders and arrangements."

"I'm happy to help. I have several excellent embroiderers at home!" As soon as he finished speaking, other wealthy businessmen, gentry and officials also expressed their willingness to participate.

"Mr. Wan, is there any way to make the Wanmin Umbrella in time?" Magistrate Wang asked Uncle Wan calmly with confidence.

Uncle Wan nodded, and soon all the embroiderers came here. Uncle Wan was very busy giving orders. Wang Qingsong looked at this scene and made up his mind to govern the mausoleum city well.
