Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Rumors are rampant in the capital.

When Gu Ruyan and the others learned that the people in the capital were in a state of panic and that a plague was spreading, and that all the people believed that the plague had spread from the Chu King's army camp, their faces were filled with worry.

"The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review has already investigated and found out that the plague clearly started in Qingyang Village, but these people are convinced that it was caused by the military camp. It's infuriating!"

Gu Ruyan was now experiencing the feeling of a scholar encountering a soldier, unable to reason with them. She had clearly explained everything, but these people just wouldn't believe her.

"Mother, don't get upset by these comments. It's clearly someone instigating this. No matter how angry you are, it won't help."

"With just our few mouths, even if we plead until the heavens break, it won't make a difference."

Seeing his mother so anxious and upset that blisters had formed on her lips, Song Jingshen couldn't help but speak up.

"It's no wonder my mother was anxious about this; when I heard those comments, I felt like I wanted to fight someone!"

Song Zhiyu looked displeased. "It's good that Fifth Sister isn't outside right now. The things those people outside said were all so outrageous, they were absolutely infuriating!"

Seeing Song Jingshen's expression, Song Yi'an said, "Don't keep me in suspense any way you've come up with!"

"These kinds of things can't be solved by just talking, but we can find more people to talk!"

Song Jingshen smiled slightly, "I had planned to do this when the rumors first came out, but my father said that the rumors were getting worse and faster, which meant that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes."

The Emperor will surely discover the problem once he finds out, which is why I didn't act immediately. Now that the time is almost up, it's time to act.

The brothers exchanged glances and immediately understood Song Jingshen's plan.

If the other side can spread rumors, so can they. As for who the people believe, they may not necessarily lose!

So, just as the rumors were getting worse among the people, another wave of news came out.

"All the previous news was false; His Highness Prince Chu was framed!"

"Qingyang Village was the first place where the plague broke out. Someone deliberately infected the soldiers in the camp. It seems that the King of Chu and His Highness the King of Yun have also been infected while investigating this matter."

"Even disregarding all objections, the Princess Consort of Chu went to the military camp and is now working with the imperial physicians to find a way to treat the plague!"

The moment the news spread, the people were initially shocked, but upon reflection, they realized that it was indeed true.

Everyone has seen what His Highness the King of Chu has done over the years. I'm afraid that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind, and someone is deliberately framing him!

"His Highness the King of Chu has repeatedly rendered meritorious service, and some people, unable to bear it, resort to such methods to harm him?"

"I knew it! How could the army camp have suddenly become infected with the plague? Now I understand everything!"

Song Ruozhen, who was in the military camp, was unaware that her family had done all this for them. She was focused on researching ways to treat the plague with the imperial physicians.

The antidote was quickly delivered, and all the soldiers took it. They dared not drink any more now, and immediately sent people to dig a new well.

This news naturally could not be kept from the soldiers. On the one hand, all the soldiers were grateful to the Queen Consort of Chu and the imperial physicians, and on the other hand, they hated the person who poisoned them to the extreme.

While studying the plague, Song Ruozhen also performed a divination and found out the location of the man in black.

In the past, before the breakthrough, it would have been quite difficult to rely on just this one thing, but now it is not so difficult.

After learning of his location, Chu Junting immediately relayed the information to the Emperor.

In the current situation, if he intervenes, he will inevitably be criticized for it. It would be most convincing if the investigation were conducted by someone arranged by the Emperor.

Meanwhile, the person who started this whole thing was gloating.

"Now the entire capital knows that the plague originated from the military camp. His good reputation, built up over the years, is completely ruined!"

"However, when the officials in the court discussed this matter today, the Emperor's attitude was ambiguous, clearly indicating that he was still protecting him."

The man frowned slightly, his expression revealing dissatisfaction. Now that such a big problem had occurred in the military camp, there should have been serious consequences and severe punishment, but there was no sign of any action.

"Don't worry," the woman beside him said with a faint smile. "The Prince of Chu is currently preoccupied with his own safety, and the Emperor is concerned about his well-being, so naturally he can't deal with him at this time!"

Perhaps, without the Emperor's intervention, the Prince of Chu would already be dead in the military camp.

Upon hearing this, the man nodded, a helpless expression on his face.

"I originally didn't intend to kill him, but he kept showing off, so he only asked for it!"

A cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes. "Everyone who stands in your way deserves to die. Now... this is my sincerity. Are you at ease now?"

"Of course, I trust you the most."

……

As night deepened, a thick darkness enveloped the general's camp.

Seeing that the other imperial physicians all looked exhausted, with some even falling asleep on their stomachs, Chu Junting noticed that Song Ruozhen showed no intention of resting and instead took out a blanket and draped it over her.

"You should rest for a while. This matter can't be rushed."

Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting, whose face was pale, and said, "I'm fine. If you're not feeling well, you should lie down and rest. Don't overexert yourself."

Throughout the day, he was busy handling various matters and hardly had any time to rest.

He was already infected, and although his body is stronger than the average person, if he doesn't rest properly, his condition will worsen and become very bad.

"I need to rest well, and you shouldn't overwork yourself."

Looking at the concern in the woman's eyes, Chu Junting felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Having been in the military for so many years, he was used to it, but now, listening to Zhen'er's words, he felt that the softest part of his heart was touched.

She knew it was dangerous to come to the military camp, but she still insisted on coming, all for him.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "You should go and rest. As for me, I know what I'm doing. I'll just rest a little later. I'm fine."

Watching this scene, Physician Yang and the others couldn't help but sigh at how good the relationship was between the King of Chu and his Queen!

No wonder the King of Chu was so determined to marry her. With such a wife, what more could a husband and wife ask for?

This was the first time Chu Junting had experienced what it felt like to be ordered around.

Song Ruozhen forced him to lie on the bed, close his eyes and not speak. He found it funny, but obediently agreed.

Seeing that Chu Junting and Chu Yungui had both rested, Song Ruozhen began to continue her research with the imperial physicians, working day and night.

She wrote down several possible prescriptions, and through discussion and investigation, everyone determined the final prescription.

As dawn broke, Song Ruozhen finally selected the most suitable prescription from her hands!

"This must be it!"

The other imperial physicians also perked up. Despite not having slept all night, they were all filled with indescribable excitement and couldn't wait to know the result!
