Chapter 229: Change to a Domineering Name
When Mu Qingcheng came to Yunqing with Bai Ze in her arms, Feng Zhishang was chasing after Mo Xue, begging her over and over again to have surgery performed on him. Yunqing just sat there and watched the show.
"What's going on? Has Divine Doctor Feng been possessed by some evil spirit?"
When Yun Qing saw Mu Qingcheng, his eyes were full of smiles. He quickly pulled her to sit down and told her about the "release letter".
Mu Qingcheng chuckled after hearing this: "I was the one who proposed the waiver. You weren't here at the time, and I didn't know when you would be back. I was afraid that Mo Xue would get angry and insist on having surgery, so I thought of using the waiver to delay it."
Unexpectedly, Feng Zhishang would use this to argue with Yun Qing. It was quite interesting to see the old man and the young man, one chasing the other, one saying all the nice things, the other remaining indifferent.
"What is Moxue holding?"
Yun Qing said proudly, "Of course, they are scalpels made of fine steel. A whole set, all made according to your drawing, and Lin Zhong made them himself."
Mu Qingcheng understood. No wonder Feng Zhishang was like coaxing a little ancestor to eat. He was as humble as possible.
"Now that we have the scalpel, Mo Xue's surgery is almost certain to be successful. We can proceed with the surgery."
Yun Qing also nodded: "Then it will be tomorrow."
When Mo Xue heard that she could have the surgery, she finally smiled. Feng Zhishang also breathed a sigh of relief: "Hurry up, give me the scalpel. I'll do the surgery on you tomorrow."
Mo Xue handed the box to him with a sense of relief. Feng Zhishang picked up the box and jumped around like a child.
"Come on, let's get ready. Stop being a candle here and follow me."
After saying this, the old man and the young man pushed the wheelchair away, and the study immediately became quiet.
Mu Qingcheng picked up Bai Ze and stroked his smooth, soft fur. Suddenly, her smile faded, a look of irritation appeared on her face, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction: "Tell me! What have you been doing these past few days? Tell me the truth, did you go out to have a good time?"
Yun Qing frowned slightly. What do you mean by drinking and feasting? Who does this little girl think he is? He raised his hand and gently tapped Mu Qingcheng's forehead.
"Nonsense again! How could I possibly go to a whorehouse? Not to mention that there are no such places in this remote area, I wouldn't go there even in the capital."
Mu Qingcheng didn't believe it: "Even Moxue knows that you men like to go to places like that, which means you always go there behind his back. Don't try to lie to me!"
Mo Xue! Yun Qing gritted his teeth and thought, I'll remember this beating.
He pretended to be mysterious and took out a long wooden box and placed it on the coffee table: "This can prove my innocence."
On the coffee table, the box looked quite old. Its surface was plain and simple, without any exquisite carvings, but it exuded a unique charm. The wood was a deep black, with a glossy and smooth texture, as if it had been honed by the passage of time.
"What is this?" Mu Qingcheng moved forward curiously, her eyes fixed on the mysterious wooden box.
Yun Qing simply pushed the wooden box towards Mu Qingcheng and said softly, "Open it and take a look."
Mu Qingcheng lifted the lid, bewildered. Suddenly, a flash of cold light flashed, and she couldn't help but gasp. Bai Ze in her arms was a beast, naturally sensitive to danger. Although it didn't know what it was, it felt fear. Bai Ze made a whining sound as he stared intently at the terrifying thing.
Inside the long box was a long sword. The hilt was an intricate dragon head, and the scabbard was carved with a dragon body.
Mu Qingcheng recognized it immediately: "Is this... is this the 'Ao Cang Qiong' that I drew?"
She didn't expect that the real thing would be so shocking. She widened her eyes and her face was full of astonishment.
However, Yun Qing shook his head and said slowly, "It's no longer called 'Ao Cang Qiong'. This is the token of love you gave me. I named it 'Qingcheng Sword'."
"Hmm?" Hearing this name, Mu Qingcheng was a little surprised. Such a domineering and majestic sword was called Qingcheng? Wasn't it a grievance?
"This name...why don't you think about it again and change it!"
Mu Qingcheng searched her mind, thinking of the Heaven-Asking Sword, the Evil-Slaying Sword, the Dragon Abyss Sword, the Candle Dragon Sword... Uh! These sword names were all commonly used in later novels, and she herself felt that they were too common and was not very satisfied.
"Nuannuan, why don't you like the name 'Qingcheng'?"
Mu Qingcheng wanted to say that the name wasn't powerful enough, but seeing Yun Qing's dejected expression, she thought, "Whatever, it's his own sword, so he can call it whatever he wants!" This name is quite meaningful, taking one of the characters from their names.
"Qingcheng, it's not bad." It's just that such a domineering sword is not worthy of its reputation.
Yun Qing smiled. It was good enough that his Nuan Nuan liked it, otherwise he would have to go through the trouble of picking another name.
The two were admiring the Qingcheng Sword in the study when someone hurried towards the study. Soon they heard a knock on the door.
Yun Qing called out, "Come in!"
It was Meng Yun, who hurried in to greet Yun Qing. Mu Qingcheng saw that he looked worried and knew he had something to discuss with Yun Qingfa. She stood up, holding Bai Ze in her arms, and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, Yun Qing pulled her back to sit down, signaling Meng Yun to speak directly and not hide anything from Mu Qingcheng.
Anyway, no matter what happened, he would tell Mu Qingcheng again in the end, so that he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble in the future.
Meng Yun wasn't surprised. He spoke slowly, "Your Highness, this morning, there was a disturbance in Yongkang County. Many citizens, ignoring the ban, left their homes and gathered in front of the county government office. They were furious, demanding the government open the granaries and release grain. If their demands were not met, they threatened to storm the government office and vandalize everything. The situation became extremely tense, and we had to arrest several of the ringleaders to temporarily quell the unrest."
Upon hearing this news, Yun Qing frowned and said in a deep voice, "Hasn't a batch of food been delivered before? Is the disturbance caused by food shortage, or is there some other reason? Have you found out the reason?"
Meng Yun pondered for a moment, then continued, "Your Highness, you may not be aware that the grain you painstakingly collected years ago has been distributed per capita. However, some people remain dissatisfied with the government. It's possible that someone is deliberately fanning the flames. From what I understand, some people are dissatisfied because, during the Lunar New Year, they're still trapped at home, unable to go out and earn a living."
Yun Qing sneered, "What civilians? They are just being used as pawns by those with ulterior motives. It seems some people can't stand it any longer."
Mu Qingcheng was surprised when she heard Yun Qing was collecting food. She thought it was for the soldiers in the northern border. She didn't expect Yun Qing to use his own money to exchange for food to feed the entire Yongkang County. How much food would be needed?
"Could it be that there is no relief grain in Yongkang County? Why doesn't the imperial court provide disaster relief?"
Yun Qing fell silent, and Mo Yun explained, "Miss Mu, you don't know. This place is far away from the emperor, and the imperial court can't take care of it at all. Besides, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. By the time the imperial court arrives to provide disaster relief, this place will have already been in chaos. But although Yongkang County is remote, it is a fortress between the north and the south. If Yongkang is in chaos, it will inevitably affect Jiangzhou. If the people of Nanyue become disloyal, the entire south will be in chaos. To the south, there is also Nanyan, which is eyeing it covetously. Therefore, Yongkang cannot be in chaos."
Mu Qingcheng was stunned. She really didn't know there were so many twists and turns here. Looking at Yun Qing again, Mu Qingcheng sighed in her heart. It was so difficult before she became the emperor. It would be even more difficult after she became the emperor.
However, what's the difference between giving food away like this and throwing money away? This is a bottomless pit. If he continues like this, he won't be able to feed so many mouths even if he sells his own Prince's Mansion.
