The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Meng Yun rode back to Daxi Village at full speed and went to find Yun Qing as soon as he returned to the shogunate.

Yun Qing had just finished taking a medicinal bath. With his long, shiny black hair and wearing a white inner garment, he looked like an ethereal being from the mortal world.

Meng Yun lowered his head and dared not look, for fear that he would blaspheme the gods.

Yun Qing frowned slightly when she saw Meng Yun come in: "What's the matter?"

Meng Yun, looking anxious, quickly clasped his fists and bowed, replying, "Your Highness, all the medicinal herbs needed to treat the epidemic in Yongkang County have been collected. However, with so many people currently ill, these herbs will only last for three days."

Yun Qing frowned, "Is there any news from the governor of Jiangzhou Prefecture?"

Meng Yun shook his head and said worriedly, "The letter was just sent yesterday, so I think he should have just received it by now. Even if he immediately starts collecting herbs from Jiangzhou Prefecture and sends them here, it will probably take three or four days. I'm afraid that the lack of medicine will cause panic among the people."

Yun Qing snorted coldly and said sternly, "That's the Jiangzhou prefect's business. Send him another expedited letter and ask him to deliver the herbs to Yongkang within three days! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

Meng Yun quickly responded, "Yes! I obey your command!"

After receiving Yun Qing's instructions, Meng Yun did not leave.

Yun Qing's beautiful eyes darkened: "What else?"

Meng Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I would like to ask Miss Mu for a favor."

When Yun Qing heard this, he almost laughed out loud. He knew Meng Yun's reason for coming today. He was here to ask Nuan Nuan for help! He must be trying to test his opinion in advance!

"What's so important that you need Nuan Nuan's help?"

Meng Yun quickly lowered his head. "Yes, yes, regarding the resettlement of the disaster victims, they were placed in simple sheds. But it's freezing cold, and they're all sick. How can they possibly survive? Several more people were found dead this morning, most likely frozen to death. I'd like to ask Miss Mu if we can think of a way to install a coal-fired stove in the shed."

After hearing this, Yun Qing frowned and thought. It would be time-consuming and laborious to set up a tent at this time, and installing an iron stove in the tent would probably be useless. It would be better to find a ready-made empty house to accommodate the victims.

There is a place in the vacant room.

"There's a village called Donghu to the east of Daxi Village. Shang Mingxian massacred the entire village a while ago. Send some people there to clean up the mess and relocate all the victims to Donghu Village. You can have the coal delivery convoy escort them there."

"It will be easier to manage the patients there, and patients from other villages can be transferred there. It will also be easier to install an iron stove."

Meng Yun was delighted when he heard this: "I will do it right away!" After saying that, he left in a hurry and did as Yun Qing instructed.

Jiangzhou Prefecture Government Office.

Fang Xuyao, the prefect of Jiangzhou, is about fifty years old this year. He has been the prefect of Jiangzhou for ten years and has never moved.

Early this morning, a memorial from Yongkang was presented personally by a retainer.

This memorial was submitted to the imperial court. The Yongkang County Magistrate was not qualified to submit a memorial to the imperial court, so he could only submit it to the prefect, who would then consider it and rewrite the memorial and submit it to the imperial court.

Fang Xuyao ​​frowned after taking one look at the memorial. He had met County Magistrate Yu once before he took office. He seemed honest and dutiful, but in reality, he wasn't. However, Yongkang was located in the south, with little land, vast mountains, and sparse population, so it was relatively easy to manage.

Fang Xuyao ​​opened the letter and jumped up from his chair in shock when he saw half of it.

The retainer was shocked: "Sir, what happened to you?"

"An epidemic broke out in Yongkang half a month ago!"

"What?……"

Fang Xuyao's hands trembled with anger. He threw the memorial on the table and shouted, "Fool, idiot...it's been half a month since the outbreak and you only remembered to submit a memorial to me. And you still have the nerve to ask me for medicinal herbs."

Fang Xuyao ​​immediately summoned all the officials from the Jiangzhou government office and sent people to search the entire city for sick people to see if there were any people suffering from the epidemic in Jiangzhou, and to strictly check the clinics and inns.

He also sent Sima from Jiangzhong to lead people to block all the intersections in the south, and the city gates were also to be strictly checked, and no one coming from the south would be allowed in.

The Jiangzhou government office was in a state of chaos, but not noisy. Everyone was still doing their job in an orderly manner. It was obvious that Fang Xuyao ​​was very strict in managing his subordinates.

At this time, the retainer came running over in a panic and shouted loudly: "Sir, sir, I have something to report!"

Fang Xuyao's expression immediately darkened. He hated such loud shouting. "What's the matter?"

"Sir, just now when I was sorting through the memorials, I accidentally saw a line of small words in the gap between them."

The retainer presented the memorial and pointed to the two lines of small characters for Fang Xuyao ​​to see.

Fang Xuyao ​​squinted his eyes to make out the two lines of small characters: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed through Yongkang and discovered the epidemic. He brought the imperial physician with him to develop a prescription. Yongkang is now under the control of the Crown Prince's personal guards."

"The Crown Prince...is in Yongkang?"

Fang Xuyao's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by the servant behind him.

Oh my god! Fang Xuyao ​​wanted to kill that damn Yu County Magistrate.

"Hurry, hurry! Prepare the carriage, no, prepare the horses, and go to Yongkang County."

There was chaos in the government office again.

Su Qingyan had received a letter from Mu Qingcheng three days ago, informing her of the epidemic in Yongkang County. The letter detailed the lockdown and gave her a batch of masks and prescriptions. It also instructed her to immediately purchase medicinal herbs outside of Jiangzhou Prefecture in case of emergency.

Su Qingyan's execution was very strong. When Jin Yuhe Embroidery Workshop posted a notice announcing that it would no longer be releasing new products, she immediately stopped the work of the women in the workshop and began mass-producing masks.

The masks sold by Jinyuhe Embroidery Workshop are no longer made of simple white cotton and linen. Masks of various colors and patterns are now on the market in just three days.

However, the medicinal herbs stumped her. It was not easy to collect them from other places, and they were short of manpower. Relying on them to collect them bit by bit would probably be a drop in the bucket.

If she wanted to buy in bulk, she had to partner with a medicinal herb merchant. And the Ning family was the largest medicinal herb merchant in Jiangzhou City. Would she be kicked out if she went to discuss cooperation with the Ning family?

Ever since the news of the second son of the Ning family bullying the Jin Yuhe Embroidery Workshop spread like wildfire in Jiangzhou City, the Ning family's reputation plummeted, and some people immediately wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to step on the Ning family.

Madam Ning, in particular, had a bad reputation among the noble ladies of Jiangzhou. Lately, she'd been visited daily by ladies, mocking her both openly and covertly, angering her to the point of shutting the door on her.

When the old lady of the Ning family learned that it was the people from the Jin Yuhe Embroidery Workshop who beat her precious grandson into such a miserable state, she was so angry that she was about to go crazy. She immediately ordered the servants to smash the Jin Yuhe Embroidery Workshop and break the hands of the people who beat her grandson.

Just as the servants were about to leave, Ning Dechang stopped them and threatened them.

"If anyone dares to cause trouble for Jin Yuhe, I will break his legs first, and then sell him out!" The servants were very happy. They didn't want to go in the first place, but since the master said so, they just went along with it.

The old lady was so angry that she threw a tantrum and made a scene, trying to commit suicide. Ning Dechang had no choice but to close the door and let her go.

Su Qingyan was worried about the medicinal herbs. Zhou Da had been feeling that someone was secretly watching their embroidery workshop.

After he beat up Ning Haokun, the shop was closed for three days. Later, Ning Haochen, the third son of the Ning family, came to apologize in person, and the Jin Yuhe Embroidery Workshop reopened. Since then, the Ning family has not caused trouble again.

But he just felt that someone was secretly watching them.
