Princess, the medicine cannot be stopped!

The light rain outside the window drenched the eaves, Gu Chen put down his pen and looked at the line of writing, and remembered what the person on the street said, closing the door and shutting down the store would strike the market, so she had a plan for all this?The imperial court wanted to increase the business tax by [-]%, so Yunran followed the trend and took this opportunity to stir up conflicts between the merchant market and the imperial court. The heavy profits of the merchants and the many prejudices of the scholars led to the deliberate suppression of merchants in this dynasty. They have long been dissatisfied.

How can businessmen be willing to increase taxes now?Gu Chen looked at the word "surprise" and guessed that this should also be within Yunran's plan. The original intention of the court was to exploit the vested interests of the Jianghu people and weaken the influence of the Jianghu people among the common people, so as to consolidate the imperial power the goal of.However, people thousands of miles away cannot accurately receive the original intention of the imperial court, especially the deep meaning that is hidden in many twists and turns and is inconvenient to express clearly. There is no way to pass it, and it is not clear exactly who is the target of this tax collection and how it is collected, so the city strike is just to protest to the court and to fight for their own vested interests.

With the power of the Tanyue Pavilion, as long as the muddy water is stirred up a little bit, this matter will not be good. The three-day strike is just the beginning, and soon the wind will blow to the capital, and the local memorial will be handed out. As far as the emperor's imperial case is concerned, if there is no proper solution to this matter, the trade chain between merchants will be interrupted within half a month. It is hard to find, glutinous rice lotus root can no longer be served on the wine table, and even the fragrant osmanthus wine has lost its taste.

These seem to be trivial things, but they affect the daily life of ordinary people all the time. Once the trade chain is interrupted, the life of ordinary people will be greatly affected. Everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation will be at a disadvantage Well, if that time really comes, the common people will feel that the court is incompetent, and there will be a lot of public anger and grievances, the people's hearts will be unstable, and the world will be chaotic if it is said to be chaotic.

Of course, these are just Gu Chen's own guessing. She doesn't think that His Majesty can be so stupid today. The Tanyue Pavilion does have huge potential benefits in its hands, which can be used as a reserve of the national treasury to continuously supply the needs of the national treasury. However, this does not mean that small things will lose big things. Without Tanyue Pavilion and Shaolin, Emei and Kunlun Mountains, if the people's hearts are gone, it will not be far from giving up the country.

Gu Chen felt that although it was a bit risky, it should be useful.Even Yunran didn't need to be broad at all, as long as the news of the chamber of commerce's strike and commotion was passed on, the emperor himself would be unable to stabilize himself, as has been the case since ancient times.

Gu Chen dried the ink marks on the paper and pressed it down with a paperweight.Yunran has fallen asleep at the moment, and Gu Chen has no intention of waking her up. The little princess is not very old, and she has a lot of things on her mind. Even if she is in good health, she will probably have to take a medicine jar to soak it up a few times. , not to mention her, who was already soaked in the medicine jar, so she had to be taken care of.

Although Yunran didn't give her an exact time, Gu Chen knew that the trip to the south of the Yangtze River was not far away. After unlocking Yunran's secret letter that day, she began to pack her things consciously, most of them were Qingluan probably got Yunran's instructions on the herbs to be used on Yunran Road, and his attitude towards Gu Chen has also changed slightly since he "waked up" that day.Qingluan is the person who follows Yunran, and her skill with others is first-class. In the past, she was polite to Gu Chen with three points of precaution, and Gu Chen could tell that she didn't mind. From then on, Qingluan respected Gu Chen more.

Because he had to pack his things, Gu Chen went to the streets more frequently. Looking at the medicinal materials on the list, Gu Chen put the money bag on the counter: "This is the third price increase this month, shopkeeper, You are not being kind!"

Because Yunran's whereabouts cannot be disclosed, Gu Chen has to prepare a large amount of medicinal materials and must prepare them secretly so that no one will be aware of Yunran's plan. She can only go out to buy in small quantities many times. Something is wrong.

"Oh, this, this is not our fault!" The shopkeeper also had a sad face: "The price in the south has increased, and I heard that the monopoly market does not deliver goods to Kyoto! I still asked someone to get it from an acquaintance. If you need it, you'd better prepare more, in case the stock is really out of stock one day, this is medicine, it's life-saving!"

Sure enough, she didn't expect it.No, in fact, it has nothing to do with her. It should be said that Yunran did not expect it, but I don't know what the emperor planned. It stands to reason that the trouble should not be so big, why not control it?Could it be that there was some accident?

"I want all the three sevens." Gu Chen threw down the money bag, his eyes darkened: "Please trouble the shopkeeper, if you buy any goods within three days, keep them for me."

"This, this, this," the shopkeeper looked very embarrassed.

"Deposit." Gu Chen took out another ingot of gold: "No matter what the price is, just keep it for me."

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it for you. If someone else comes to get it, I'll say I haven't bought it." The shopkeeper took the gold before he wanted to show a smile and sighed again: "It's time for business, this old out of stock There is no way, alas."

Gu Chen walked in a hurry. Although she was mainly treating Yun Ran, she also inquired about a lot of things in a responsible manner to Yun Ran. It stands to reason that since the emperor is bound to bow down to Xiaobo, she just doesn't know. Why has there been no movement until now? Not only has there been no movement, but it seems that there is a plan to stand by and watch. What does this mean?

She hurried back all the way, took the medicine bag and went directly to Yunran's inner courtyard, and then was stopped symbolically by the little maid. The person had jumped onto the eaves and disappeared.

"Okay, everyone is gone, you don't have to make trouble, I'll go see the princess." Gu Chen threw the medicine bag to the little maid: "Take this to the small pharmacy for me."

The little maid is also an acquaintance of Gu Chen, and she usually sends a message between her and Yun Ran, and Yun Ran will let her come to send some clothes and so on. The little servant girl picked out from the Moon Pavilion, although a little clumsy, is very loyal and can be kept by her side even if she does some work.

The little maid had already delivered the letter inside, so when Gu Chen came in, Yunran was sitting in front of the vanity mirror. Unlike the usual plain clothes in the past, today's Yunran is wearing a gorgeous and very grand palace attire , Under the costume, Gu Chen's mind was dazed. At that moment, she seemed to see the woman in the painting coming out, sitting so dignifiedly in front of the mirror, smiling at her, it was soul-stirring.

Qingluan picked up a few golden hairpins and asked Yunran to choose them. Yunran looked at them and seemed dissatisfied, and finally pointed to one: "This is it. Gu Chen, you are here."

Yunran's body has been getting better these days, Gu Chen doesn't come here often except for the two pulses in the morning and evening, and spends most of his time in the small pharmacy, researching and studying prescriptions and other things, this is not the time when Gu Chen will come to see her time.Seeing Gu Chen looking at her all the time, Yun Ran got up naturally: "Your Majesty invited me into the palace today, I know you have been preparing to go south, are you almost ready now?"

"Huh?" Gu Chen was a little distracted. She was used to seeing Yun Ran's pale and sickly face, but now she was dazzling under the costume and even felt a little more domineering. When she opened her mouth, Gu Chen felt as if she had been swayed. Sealing all five senses, the only one who could see her lips getting closer and closer.

"Gu Chen? What are you in a daze for?" Yun Ran had already walked to Gu Chen's side: "Wait for me to come back, you know?"

By the way, she said that the emperor wanted to recruit her into the palace!

"Why do you want to enter the palace?" Gu Chen pinched Yunran's arm subconsciously: "Also, I saw that many shops in the street are raising prices, and the south is out of stock, it shouldn't be, why is it like this?"

Seeing the anxious look in Gu Chen's eyes, Yun Ran showed her a comforting smile, very shallow and warm: "Something happened. Qingluan, pour tea for the young master."

"You know, the chamber of commerce wouldn't make such a big fuss." Yun Ran pulled Gu Chen to sit down, and explained to her: "My original intention was to stir up some waves, and then I took this opportunity to propose to the emperor to go south to flatten the business." Chaos. He and I both know it well, we just want to see who will give in first, but who knows, the pavilion is not peaceful, some people don't want me to leave the capital, don't want me to regain the power of Tanyue Pavilion, and want to disrupt me I have communicated with the emperor in private, the emperor is not willing to let me go, he is also afraid that after I leave the capital, if I break free from his shackles, it will be difficult to restrain me, he is afraid that my wings will become stiff, if I fly away .”

Yunran's tone seemed to be telling Gu Chen a story completely irrelevant to her, without any personal emotion in her tone, calm to the point of indifference: "But that person didn't know that the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River had long been I have controlled the scope of the incident that he thought he could calm down. Because of my delay in showing up, people misunderstood that I am in a difficult situation. His Majesty is too hard to ride a tiger."

"Then what are you going to do? I, I saw Yuandao just now. Is she here to send news? Do you have any news?"

"It doesn't count." Yun Ran tightened her sleeves, tightly grasping what was hidden in her palm, and smiled mischievously at Gu Chen: "She came to tell me the current situation in the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and give me another gift. Something. Gu Chen, it's time for me to enter the palace, you pack up, and when I come back, we'll go south together."

Looking at Yun Ran's determined eyes, for some reason, Gu Chen suddenly felt worried, and she grabbed Yun Ran's sleeve: "You say, you say he doesn't want to let you fly away, so why would he agree to you going south?" ?”

"He was afraid that my wings would be hard." Yun Ran broke free from Gu Chen's shackles: "Then I will tell him, and tell him with practical actions, Princess Yunran's wings will not be hard, her wings have been broken long ago, If she can't fly, she will only be the emperor's pawn in her life, at his mercy and working hard for him."

"Yunran!" Looking at Yunran's cold eyes, Gu Chen said: "You, you..." She didn't know what she was going to say, looking at the man's delicate face, she added another sentence dryly : "I'll go with you, I'm your doctor, I'll go with you."

"There are tens or hundreds of doctors in the Imperial Hospital." Yun Ran smiled: "Gu Chen, that's my uncle. Don't forget, he is my uncle. He won't want me to die. Don't worry."

die?Why did Gu Chen's heart twitch suddenly when Yun Ran mentioned this word casually? Yun Ran's tone was too relaxed and natural. She didn't care about her own life or death. She even felt that in her life, maybe "death" was a good thing for her, even a relief.

Firmly grasping the corner of the table, Gu Chen frowned. This is not the first time she has felt this way. She is a doctor and has the most accurate perception of life and death. From the first time she saw Yun Ran, she could feel that It's a different feeling, she doesn't want to die, but she doesn't want to live much either.After getting along with each other, Gu Chen once thought that he was mistaken. Obviously, the little princess is quite upward, has her own ideals and aspirations, and wants to unify the rivers and lakes and revitalize the Tanyue Pavilion. How could she feel that way?

But just now, the moment she turned to leave, Gu Chen saw it again in her eyes, it was a sad feeling.
