Chapter 116 The Princess Who Won the Heart of the People

The servant was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to say much. In less than half an hour, he brought the archer to Jinglan Courtyard.

After Yu Qing got the news from Xiao Qian, he ordered Xiao Qian to stay and take care of Yu Jian, and then went to another wing room.

Inside, the archer knelt on the ground tremblingly, and Xue Wei stood aside and glared, wishing to tear the archer apart.

"Although he was instructed, it really hurt Chan'er's life. Xue Wei, you can do it yourself!" Yu Qinghuan said lightly.

Xue Wei pulled out the sword from his waist and walked towards the archer step by step. Before the tip of the knife could point to the archer's neck, tears flowed all over his face. His eyes were scarlet and the blue veins on his forehead were exposed, and he did not hide his murderous intention when he was facing the archer.

The archer was so scared that his heart was broken and his cold sweat flowed, as if his soul was scattered. But he was lit with acupoints, unable to speak or move, and he just looked at Xue Wei in horror.

Who would have thought that Xue Wei finally withdrew the knife and knelt in front of Yu Qinghuan on one knee: "Princess, I don't want to do it anymore!"

Yu Qinghuan asked him: "Why?"

Xue Wei said sincerely: "Although Chan'er died a pity, she died gloriously and bravely. If she knew about it in the spring, she would not want Xiao to be blinded by hatred and become a monster that kills people. Xiao is willing to spare his life and ask him to take care of the sick and lose his punishment. If he dares to have any unfair intentions, Xiao will take his life at any time!"

Not cruel enough...

Yu Qinghuan sighed in her heart, but thinking about it on the other hand, it is not surprising that Chan'er has such a brother - she is not cruel enough, but she is well-versed in righteousness. Only by keeping such a person by her side can people feel at ease.

"He will be left to you to drive, you can do it yourself!" Yu Qinghuan finally did not express his opinion and handed over the person to Xue Wei. Although the archers were garrisoned by the archers, the Qi Mansion could still move just a small soldier.

On Yu Jian's side, Yu Qinghuan served him personally every day, and he did not fall for a day. Yu Jian's situation finally improved.

Everyone in the yamen saw it, and everyone praised Yu Qinghuan for not only being able and courageous, but also as a woman, but also as a woman, the princess was also a filial person. Many people even took Yu Qinghuan as a model and taught their daughters to follow the princess.

Xue Wei led the archers who had made meritorious service to run on the front line of the fight against the epidemic. The situation in Pingcheng was finally controlled again due to the timely supply of herbs.

But the situation of the garrison stationed at the city gate was obviously not that good. Because of the plague, it broke out quietly in the military camp. In just a few days, dozens of soldiers were infected one after another.

The military doctor was helpless and could only ask Pingcheng for help. When Yu Qinghuan heard the news, he immediately opened the city gate and brought the infected soldiers into the city. He divided them a clean room and assigned doctors to them. For this reason, the infected soldiers were grateful and wished to bow to Yu Qinghuan.

Because among the infected people, many people were very popular in the military camp. When the rest of the soldiers saw that the princess was tolerant and generous and accepted their brothers without grudges, they gradually stopped their minds of besieging Pingcheng. They just stayed at the camp in peace on weekdays. If someone sent things to Pingcheng, they would turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.

Yu Qinghuan, whose reputation was getting higher and higher under the praise of the people, was sitting in the room, gently buckled the table with his fingers, waiting for Cang He to report on the situation.

Of course, it was all due to Ah Da and A Er who were infected in the garrison. Like Yu Jian, those people were only poisoned by nettle.

"Princess, the garrison no longer blocks the team that transports supplies to Pingcheng. The crisis in Pingcheng can be solved for the time being." Cang He said humbly or arrogantly.

Yu Qinghuan's eyes swept over Cang He, and finally, she said: "If the plague is not eliminated for a day, the crisis in Pingcheng will still be there. Yesterday? This princess asked Lord Liu to count the reserves in the granary. The surplus grain is probably only enough for the people to support for a few months."

This year, except for Pingcheng, all parts of Qizhou were affected to varying degrees due to the plague. The people in the affected areas missed the busy farming season and would not have any harvest all year round. Even if the plague is resolved, they have nothing to eat and they still can't live a life."

"Canghe, solving the plague is only the first step, and post-disaster reconstruction cannot be ignored. The prince had asked you to buy grain from other grain merchants before. How was the matter going?"

Cang He said respectfully: "Without the prince's seal, he cannot withdraw a large amount of silver from the royal palace's property. The amount that subordinates can use is just a drop in the bucket for the people we need to rescue. Even Mr. Xie cannot be such a big boss. At the moment, the prince has no news, so we can only think of other ways."

Yu Qinghuan looked at him seriously: "Canghe, you actually want to find the prince, right?"

Cang He bowed: "The last order from the prince to his subordinates is to transport medicinal materials for Pingcheng. Even if the prince is not here, his subordinates should devote themselves to the common affairs of Pingcheng. What's more, his subordinates believe in Cangwu, and he is very relieved to find the whereabouts of the prince."

Yu Qinghuan lowered her eyes and held a trace of disappointment. After Cang He brought the medicinal herbs into the city that day, Yu Qinghuan quickly took the time to summon him.

Telling him about Changsun Tao was to find a trace of Changsun Tao being used in him. In fact, he had no clues about his death, but Cangwu was acting too normal, as if he had no idea about Changsun Tao's situation at all.

Yu Qinghuan's heart suddenly became cold, but she didn't give up and still wanted to find a glimmer of hope in Cangwu.

Finally, Yu Qinghuan sighed quietly and said, "Qizhou is the prince's fiefdom. If such a big thing happens, the first reaction of the court when receiving the news is to send garrison troops to siege. If we place our hopes on the rescue of the court, what awaits me will be doomed."

"Canghe, you are the prince's confidant. I believe there should be many people under you. Send a few trustworthy people to Quanyuan County to contact Aliu. When the buckwheat at the foot of Tianmen Mountain is ripe, hire someone to harvest it immediately. Then transport the harvested buckwheat directly to Liangcheng and deposit it into the granary. There are more than 1,000 acres of land at the foot of Tianmen Mountain. If Aliu manages properly, the yield of two stones per acre will be about 2,000 stones."

"In addition, you send someone to the princess to the palace with the token of this princess, and let Lu Yi take out all the silver he earned with Dr. Huang in the past few months. If nothing unexpected happens, she should have more than 10,000 taels in her hand. She can buy all the rice, so she can buy more than 20,000 stones. We must ask Xie Yun to find a way to transport it to Liangcheng."
