Chapter 23 The Plague

Song Yanxing's brows wrinkled slightly, his expression a little unsightly.

Fang Buping hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am scared. Please calm down, Your Highness."

Song Yanxing sneered and said, "You still know that Gu is the prince."

Fang Buping said, "Your Highness, if there is something wrong with you here in Changping, how can I tell you that the people in the east of the city are just a group of untouchables who have the plague. Your Highness, you are much more noble than them. I can't look at it." You are in danger, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Song Yanxing snorted coldly and said, "You are very high-sounding. The people living in the east of the city are the people of Changping. As the saying goes, the people are the foundation of a country. There is no one who shakes the foundation but does not move the branches and leaves."

After a pause, Song Yanxing continued, "Where did you get the courage to say that the people in the east of the city are untouchables? They are my people in Dongling." Song Yanxing's tone suddenly turned cold.

Fang Buping lowered his head tremblingly, and began to smack his mouth with both hands, saying, "I deserve to die, Your Highness, and I, the humble minister, deserve to die."

Song Yanxing snorted coldly and said, "I don't care what method you use to get that medicine to me."

"I obey the order." After saying that, Fang Buping kowtowed respectfully to Song Yanxing.

"Go back."

"I excuse myself." At the end, Fang Buping retreated to the threshold before turning around and leaving.

Song Yanxing didn't know why Fang Buyi and others were so opposed to sending medicine to the east of the city, but Song Yanxing knew that there must be something fishy.

I just don't know why that is strange.

But this medicine must be sent to the east of the city. The lives of thousands of people in Changping still need to be maintained by this medicine.

Song Yanxing can't break up with Fang Buping yet. Although he is the prince, he has just come to Changping. After all, his foundation is not stable, and he doesn't know who is available in Changping.

Moreover, he has no direct evidence of Fang Buping's corruption.

After a few days.

In the past few days, Li Miaoyi's life was quite smooth. After taking a break for lunch, she would always go to the flower hall to enjoy tea.

However, Li Miaoyi had not seen Song Yanxing for several days.

Although Song Yanxing and Li Miaoyi were in the same mansion, they were far apart.

Li Miaoyi sat on her usual stone bench, admiring the circle of flowers and plants surrounding the pavilion.

Li Miaoyi likes this atmosphere very much.

Meng Chun made Li Miaoyi a pot of tea and then left.

Li Miaoyi is happy.

It was not always quiet in the Li Mansion, so when she came to Changping, Li Miaoyi particularly cherished this hard-won tranquility.

Li Miaoyi sat quietly, holding a medical book in her hand and reading it carefully.

Even when Song Yanxing sat opposite her, Li Miaoyi didn't notice.

Song Yanxing didn't want to disturb Li Miaoyi, so he said nothing and just looked at Li Miaoyi quietly.

The breeze was blowing gently. Li Miaoyi was wearing a bright red gauze skirt today, with the simplest hair on her temples. She wore a pearl on her head, which was shiny. The girl with the red skirt had a peach-shaped face, extremely delicate and charming.

After a long time, Li Miaoyi felt thirsty and picked up the tea cup. At that moment, she saw Song Yanxing sitting opposite.

Li Miaoyi quickly stood up and wanted to salute Song Yan.

"Don't be too polite."

"Yes, I thanked His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Miaoyi then stood up.

The two sat on opposite sides of the table facing each other, perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Li Miaoyi actually felt a little embarrassed.

There was also an eerie silence between the two of them.

In order to relieve the embarrassment, Li Miaoyi stood up and said, "Your Highness, I will give you some tea."

"Okay." Song Yanxing responded.

Li Miaoyi learned how to make tea from Jiang Yunsong, and the tea she brewed was fragrant and delicious.

Song Yanxing picked up the cup, smelled it, and praised, "Good tea."

After saying that, Song Yanxing took a few sips gently.

Hearing Song Yanxing's appreciation, Li Miaoyi also slightly raised the corners of her lips.At this moment, Xiao Qi's voice came, "His Royal Highness, Mr. Fang would like to see you."

After hearing this, Li Miaoyi turned to look at Song Yanxing and asked, "Your Highness, would you like me to step aside?"

Song Yanxing waved his hand and said, "No need." After that, he said loudly, "Let Mr. Fang come in."

Fang Buping lowered his head and came in. From a distance, he saw a pair of women's embroidered shoes appearing in his field of view. Fang Buping had an idea in his mind.

"My lord, Fang Buping, I respectfully wish His Highness the Crown Prince to pay your respects."

"Get up."

"I obey your order." After saying that, Fang Buping straightened up.

Song Yanxing slowly said, "How are you doing with what I arranged for you to do?"

Fang Buping hesitated to speak, looking embarrassed, and said, "Your Highness, you must know that no one is willing to take the risk of sending medicine to Dongcheng.

After a pause, Fang Buping stopped talking.

Song Yanxing said, "It doesn't matter if you say it."

"Besides, you didn't tell me the origin of this medicine. If this medicine doesn't have such a good effect, it would be a result of time and people. Wouldn't it be unreasonable?"

Song Yanxing was silent for a moment and then said, "In that case, you don't have to worry about it anymore. I will let Gu's people deliver the medicine."

"And." Song Yanxing's gaze was like a sharp sword, directed at Fang Buping, and said, "As for where the medicine comes from, it's not something you can know."

Fang Buping quickly knelt down and said, "I'm scared, but it's just His Majesty's decree that I come to Changping to control the floods. You take over, this..."

After a pause, Fang Buping said, "I'm afraid it's not polite."

Song Yanxing chuckled lightly and said, "I dare to ask, how is Mr. Fang's flood management going?"

"The imperial court allocated funds to build the dam, but how well did it go?"

These two sentences made Fang Buping's forehead drip with sweat.

"My lord, my lord, before we could finish building the dam, the plague broke out and the dam building was put on hold."

Song Yanxing's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "That's right. Father's intention for me is to let me deal with the plague. Since the most serious problem now is the plague, not the flood, then everything will be done by me. Why not take over?"

Song Yanxing was sitting on a wooden bench with a calm expression and a condescending expression.

"Do you think Gu is right?"

"Your Highness is right."

Fang Buping didn't dare to say anything else, he just kept his head lowered, making it difficult for people to see the expression on his face clearly.

Song Yanxing's eyes were dark and his smile was shallow, and he said, "The Guhui will arrange for Xiao Qi to take over all matters in the east of the city. You and he will make a good handover."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Go back."

"Yes."

After saying that, Fang Buping stood up slowly, but he could clearly feel his nervousness. Li Miaoyi saw Fang Buping's hands trembling slightly.

When Fang Buping stepped back, Song Yanxing said, "Xiao Qi."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qi walked in dressed in black.

"His Royal Highness."

"You go and explain the affairs in the east of the city to Mr. Fang."

"It's Your Highness."

After saying that, Xiao Qi retreated.

the end.

Song Langxing suddenly turned to look at Li Miaoyi.

"Miss Li, do you think Mr. Fang is a good person?"
