Chapter 331 Loyalty
"Is this old man really healed hundreds of people with his secret recipe?"
Bai Jingyuan frowned and looked at Lu'er, and the green jade paperweight in his hand gently knocked on the desk. Obviously, he was not at peace at this time.
If someone gave him a little loli for him to develop, he would be very happy. With his knowledge, it would be impossible to be so stupid.
A retainer from a noble family in another country fled to Chu with his orphans. Instead of seeking reunion with relatives and friends, he wanted to hand her over to him, a prince of other countries who had never had any connections and had no knowledge of anything. He thought it was strange.
Although he had agreed to the old man's request yesterday, Bai Jingyuan immediately ordered someone to investigate carefully.
The girl took it, but how to raise it and who to raise it depends on the survey results.
"Yes, lord, all these people have been found out, there are indeed hundreds of people."
Yesterday, the family was forgiven by the king, and other families with similar situations were no longer afraid. Lu'er sent someone to investigate and it was easy to find out.
Bai Jingyuan pondered for a long time but did not worry about this issue anymore. Instead, he changed the topic and asked: "Do you say that a doctor will not make money on the way to escape, and will not be able to fill his stomach?"
He was very skeptical of this.
After all, the doctor named Huang used this as a reason to excuse the patient's family. It would be fine if it was true. If it was false, a person who spoke was a lie, and the truth of the others was still to be discussed.
The most important thing is that Bai Jingyuan doesn’t like being plotted against? Whether it was in the past or now.
Lu'er didn't know why his topic changed so quickly, while muttering in her heart. The older the king, the harder it was to think about it? She answered honestly:
"The king doesn't know that although people living in the big city, there are also some relatively open-minded families and fiefs, and they have begun to slowly accept doctors. But in rural villages, and small towns in remote places, people still trust witches more. Furthermore, in the past, the Jen family was destroyed and the Jingshan Kingdom was frequent wars? It caused a large number of refugees to flee south? In order to prevent the Yan thieves, our Chu State implemented a martial law strategy. The city was closed all year round and would not easily accept refugees. It would be fine if they were young and strong? Dr. Huang was old and had a child with him? It was impossible..."
So, what Doctor Huang said? In Lu'er's opinion, it is the truth.
No matter how capable a person is? Can’t meet someone who knows the goods? What’s the solution?
Since that's the case? There's nothing to be upset about. Bai Jingyuan nodded: "Then let's wait until the result of the city is coming out!"
You will know whether the secret recipe works or not.
I think those seriously ill people are willing to try it. This is a way out compared to waiting for death.
Knowing that the king was full of this matter now, Lu'er was also very sensible and stood quietly by the side without saying much.
Bai Jingyuan pondered for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Will that girl still not speak?"
Yesterday, when he heard that he agreed to his request, Dr. Huang simply stuffed the child to him. No matter how he persuaded him, Dr. Huang was unwilling to stay with the little girl, and I don’t know why he was so relieved?
Last night, Bai Jingyuan took the girl back to the palace. Instead of handing her over to the others, he ordered the palace maids in Chaoyang Palace to take good care of her. At the same time, he also wanted to take care of her.
"Yes, king, she has never spoken, even if she is thirsty, she will not say anything."
Ping was responsible for this matter. She didn't call the name. After hearing the king's question, she came forward and replied.
Compared to his lively and love to laugh before, Ping, who is getting older, has now learned to be steady. The biggest change is that he no longer sticks to him and jokes all day long. Bai Jingyuan occasionally feels quite regretful.
"Even if there is anything, I can't find anything from such a little girl. If she doesn't like to talk, she doesn't have to force her to take care of herself on weekdays and don't be thirsty and hungry. Now the weather is getting hotter and it's still a little cold in the morning and night. Pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes."
Although the king's tone was gentle, Ping still heard his warning.
All the original means have to be given up.
Ping did not feel that he had done useless work, but was happy about it.
The king can have such compassion for a strange little girl, and it will only be better for an elderly person who serves her intimately!
The king is still the king he used to be. Even though his power is growing, his heart of pity for the poor and the weak has not changed.
Seeing that Ping breathed a sigh of relief, she stepped back happily. Knowing that she had done that before, she felt unbearable. Bai Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
What a beautiful little girl! After so long, she never speaks. I don’t know if she is born to not speak? Or is she stimulating?
People in this era do not care about mental illness, but Bai Jingyuan attaches great importance to this and asks it out intently, because he is afraid that the child will have psychological problems. If his negligence is delayed, he will feel guilty in the future.
Life passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several days passed, and good news continued to come from the west of the city. Facts proved that the secret recipe was really useful, and Bai Jingyuan often wondered whether the epidemic was artificially released, just to present the recipe, and then sent the little girl to the palace.
Later, when I thought, even if the girl was the orphan of the Jen family, she would not have made such a plan. Moreover, Ren Xiu used a spy and searched several times, and the results proved that she was not what they thought, and it was related to the inheritance of Jingshan Kingdom.
Such a four or five-year-old loli could not be an assassin. When she found out her identity, she found that she was just a girl from a noble family who was not up to her. Her family had been destroyed in the wars of the past few years. Bai Jingyuan was no longer so careful and sent her to Changchun Palace to accompany her two daughters of the Liu family, the Empress Dowager, who was so busy every day that she had no intention of caring about such trivial matters.
Compared to this little girl who always doesn't speak, Bai Jingyuan is more interested in it, but the doctor named Huang.
After the doctor sent the little girl to the palace, he took advantage of the night to enter the quarantine area in the west of the city and took the initiative to help other doctors to treat the patients according to the secret recipe.
Bai Jingyuan didn't believe that there was really a holy father in this world, and he couldn't figure out the purpose of his doing so, so he sent someone to stare at him. As a result, half a month later, news came that Dr. Huang was actually infected and died!
"How is this possible?! He has treated hundreds of people before, but has never been infected with the disease. Why are he now getting sick? Are you sure the news is true?"
This news was really unexpected!
No matter what conspiracy is involved, people must live!
Lu'er didn't argue with him and called the stalker leader directly.
"Nu Nu sent eight people to follow him in turn. These days, even if I had been looking at him, he had at least two pairs of eyes. Doctor Huang had never been disguised. After his death, he saw him burned to ashes with his own eyes. Nu Nu guaranteed his head with his neck that it would never be a fake death!"
Because the spy had been to the west of the city, he was covered in fine linen and knelt outside the gate of Chaoyang Hall from afar and replied loudly.
In just one sentence, someone urged him to go back to quarantine. He could not be sure whether he was infected or not, and he could not get close to the king's ten years.
The slave retreated, and Bai Jingyuan couldn't figure it out even more: "What is he trying to do? He has to run to the west of the city to die?"
Just when he couldn't figure it out, news came again in the west of the city, but before Dr. Huang died, he left a suicide note while writing the prescription and asked another doctor to forward it.
The spy didn't know whether it was illiterate or careless, Bai Jingyuan frowned and decided to strengthen the spy's cultural education, and then ordered someone to copy the suicide note and send it in.
The suicide note is very simple, with only one plain sentence: "I am old and I am not willing to die. I beg the king to treat my lady kindly because I am fighting for the Chu people."
"Why!"
Bai Jingyuan sighed deeply after reading the suicide note.
He thought he would probably never be able to do it, as loyal as people in this world.
He actually used death as a bargaining chip! Even though he knew that if Bai Jingyuan didn't care about the kindness of the secret recipe, he would naturally not care about his life, and he would still do so.
