Chapter 251 The Emperor is Furious
After the Second Prince recovered, he returned to the capital ahead of schedule. When he left Huayang County, his falcon-like eyes became extremely vicious.
"Ye Chen, send someone to thoroughly investigate the inn we're staying in. This prince thinks there's something wrong with that inn. One person falling ill is understandable, but if more than a dozen people fall ill at the same time, there's definitely something wrong."
"Send someone to contact my uncle and the others quietly."
"I obey my orders."
It was already the end of February when the plague in Huayang County was completely under control, and the imperial physician had to return to Beijing to report.
"Doctor Ye, are you and the Princess of Ya'an returning to the capital? We must return to the capital tomorrow to report to the Emperor."
"I'm not going back to the capital. Xiaoxue will go with you."
"Master, are you going to remote areas to provide free medical treatment instead of returning to Beijing? Your health is much worse than before after contracting the plague. Come back with me!"
"There are too many things to do in the capital, and I like my freedom."
"Why don't you go to Yunzhou? I'll let Liu Qi and Zhang Qiao accompany you."
"Alright."
Shen Xue looked at the carriage going away with her heart full of worry. She knew that her master was a carefree person and did not like the intrigues in the capital.
Shen Xue and several imperial physicians set out on the journey back to Beijing.
Shangguan Rui stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the sea in the distance, his heart filled with longing for Shen Xue.
He wrote many letters to the capital but never received a reply from Shen Xue. Even if he went back to his hometown for the New Year, he should have sent her a letter to let her know.
The two had known each other for so long and had never encountered such a situation before, which made Shangguan Rui very worried.
He looked back at the navy in training and secretly made up his mind to train this group of navy as soon as possible and return to Beijing to report.
At this time, Bei Ze came over with a letter, "Master, a letter from the Princess of Ya'an County."
Shangguan Rui returned to the cabin with the letter. He read the contents and learned that Jinzhou was plagued by a disease. Shen Xue had gone to Jinzhou to provide assistance. The plague had been brought under control. He breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly wrote a letter and asked Bei Ze to pass it on to Shen Xue.
The second prince returned to the capital and went to the palace first to report to the emperor on the supervision channel matters.
Upon receiving the news, the Second Prince's wife arrived at the palace gate early to wait. Seeing the Second Prince, she excitedly went to greet him, her eyes gleaming with joy. "Your Highness, you are finally back! I have been waiting for you to come back for so long. How are you?"
The second prince glanced at her, ignored her and walked into the palace without saying a word. The second prince's wife's smile froze on her face and she stood there awkwardly.
Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes, and she whispered softly, "Your Highness, I learned that you were infected with the plague, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep or eat. Are you really unwilling to say a word to me when you come back?"
The Second Prince said coldly, "You are worried that if I die, you will become a widow, and you will have to live out your life alone after finally squeezing into the royal family."
"Your Highness, why are you so harsh to me? What have I done wrong? Please tell me and I will change."
"You shouldn't appear before this prince. You should put yourself in the right place. As long as I am the prince, you will be the prince's consort. Forget about anything else. Go back to your Jin Garden and live a peaceful life. When this prince needs you, he will call for you. At other times, don't appear before this prince. Otherwise, your title of prince's consort may not be secure."
After saying this, the second prince strode back to the main courtyard where he lived.
The Second Prince's wife was already in tears, and she choked up, "Your Highness, are you a stone? Even if you were a stone, you should warm it up."
The servant stood behind him and dared not say a word.
The Second Prince sat in his study, his face gloomy and cold. At this moment, the guard came in and said, "Master, this is the news from Jinzhou."
The Second Prince opened the letter and, upon reading its contents, was enraged. He slammed the table and stood up, "Someone is trying to harm me! I must find out who is trying to harm me! I will tear them into pieces."
There was murderous intent and determination in his eyes.
He handed the letter to the guard. Ye Chen took it and read it carefully. His face became serious. "Your Highness, this person knows everything about our whereabouts and has been secretly planning for a long time."
"You are young and skilled in martial arts. You are obviously a guard. There are only a handful of people in the capital who want to harm you."
"Send someone to thoroughly investigate the eldest and third brothers. This prince wants to know the truth."
"I obey my orders."
Royal Palace
The emperor lowered his head to review the memorials when Leng Ying came over and said, "Your subordinate greets the master."
"What's the matter?"
"The person monitoring the Second Prince reported that he sent someone to contact the Young Master of the Huo Family in Lin County on his way back to the capital."
The emperor's face darkened upon hearing this. "I want to see what he wants to do. If the surname Huo is so good, I can issue an edict to make it his surname Huo."
"Continue to monitor the Huo brothers and the Second Prince. I want to see where they hide the silver in the treasury."
"I obey your orders."
Leng Ying looked at the emperor and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."
Leng Ying said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Shadow Guards discovered the eldest prince's guards in Jinzhou. Two days later, the second prince and others were infected with the plague."
The Emperor was furious when he heard this. "They're killing each other before I'm even dead. Are they both planning a rebellion?"
"Investigate, we must get to the bottom of this. Thousands of innocent people in Huayang County have lost their lives. I must give them justice, or they will die with regret."
"I obey your orders."
