"I disguised myself and left because I was worried about the safety of Mrs. Ning Hui. I was willing to be punished for this behavior. However, when I returned from Liangtong County, I brought something back for the emperor, and I asked the emperor to allow me to present it first. ." Ouyang Sheng calmly stepped forward to confess his crime and told the story one by one, not even concealing the fact of disguise.

He did not find an excuse to absolve himself, but the emperor still looked calm: "What is it? I allow you to submit it, but don't think that I will spare you if you play tricks."

"I don't dare." Ouyang Sheng said and gestured outward. Immediately, a chamberlain carried in a flat object covered with red cloth.

Ouyang Sheng stepped forward and lifted up the red cloth. Under the red cloth, it turned out to be a plaque with four large characters engraved on it: The Emperor's grace is mighty.

The emperor seemed not to have expected such a thing, and was slightly startled.

Ouyang Sheng cupped his hands and said, "When I left Liangtong County, the whole county's streets were empty. People from all over the city came to see me off. They shouted long live and presented me with this plaque."

"Oh?" The emperor's expression did not change, and his voice even became deeper, "The people who save the affected people and turn the tide are Dong Yuanshi, Mrs. Ning Hui and others. What do they have to do with me?"

"If the Emperor hadn't sent Dong Yuan envoys and others to Liangtong County, how could they have discovered the epidemic? If the Emperor hadn't always taught them well, how could they have worried about the country and the people, regardless of their own safety, and stayed to help the affected people? They knew very well that The emperor is a wise king, so he dared to let go and do it without reporting it. That's why the four words 'the emperor's kindness' are so great are correct." Ouyang Sheng said every word with sincerity.

"Do you think that with your sweet words and flattery, I will let you go?" The emperor snorted, "I accept the plaque, but this is the heart of the people of Liangtong County and has nothing to do with you. As for you , I punish you with a three-month ban, are you convinced?"

It was said that Ouyang Sheng would not be spared, but being grounded for three months was not painful for a laid-back prince like Ouyang Sheng. It can be seen that the emperor was still very happy because of this plaque praising his virtues.

Ouyang Sheng naturally had no reason to be dissatisfied and immediately bowed to thank him.

The emperor added: "In seven days, I will hold a celebration banquet for you. An envoy from the Wujie Kingdom will be present at that time, just in time for you to meet. You can go back and rest well these few days to recuperate your spirits."

If you are present, you are present. Why use the word "just right"? With doubts, Ye Yuxiao bowed with everyone and exited the imperial study.

After coming out of the palace, Gu Heng took the initiative to say to Ye Yuxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you now have a mansion. It's time to go back and take a look. Once everything is done, go back to Pingnan Palace and spend time with your grandfather and grandmother. .”

Ye Yuxiao agreed, said goodbye to everyone, and took a car to Mrs. Ning Hui's house.

On the way, through the small bamboo curtain on the car window, she saw Ouyang Sheng riding a horse and following leisurely beside the car. Ouyang Sheng was stalking her, and even the emperor was now "at a loss" to do anything about it. She became bolder, opened the car curtain directly, and talked to him: "You guessed that the emperor was going to attack you, so you brought him specially." Return to Beijing with a plaque and use it as a talisman?"

Ouyang Sheng was too lazy to answer such an obvious question, but he was thoughtful: "Wujie Kingdom has been at odds with our court for many years, why did it suddenly send an envoy? The emperor and courtiers have to deal with such political affairs, why would they go out of their way to Let the envoys attend the celebration banquet?"

His question coincided with Ye Yuxiao's doubts. But she just wanted to tease him at the moment: "You have returned to Yingchuan Marquis Mansion now, and you won't be able to leave the house for a month. No matter the celebration banquet or the envoys from Wujie Kingdom, I'm afraid they will miss you."

"I'm worried about you. You are so heartless." Ouyang Sheng sat on the horse and glanced at her condescendingly, "I'm not going to attend the celebration banquet. Even if the envoy from Wujie Kingdom has other agendas, he can't. Get on top of me.”

It was just a joke, she knew the person he cared about was her. Ye Yuxiao stuck out his tongue: "Wujie Kingdom is the country of Daxi that is rich in crystals, right?"

"Yes." Ouyang Sheng nodded, "Daxi is currently short of crystals, all because Wujie disobeys control and refuses to trade with our court."

"Since Wujie sent an envoy to express his intention to make peace with me, will it be much more convenient for me to buy crystals in the future?" Ye Yuxiao asked expectantly. The syringe is a consumable item. She has always been short of crystals, very short, very short. It is no exaggeration to say that the lack of crystals has restricted the development of Mingche Medical Center. For example, she wanted to open a branch library, but there were not enough syringes, so she could only regret it.

But Ouyang Sheng poured cold water on her: "King Wujie is tough. Even if he intends to reconcile with our court, the restoration of trade will not be a matter of time."

"Ah?" Ye Yuxiao was disappointed for a moment, but soon regained hope, "Thank you for reminding me, then I have to take advantage of the celebration party to get close to the Wujie Messenger and let him get some crystals to sell to me."

Almost? How to get close? Ouyang Sheng frowned and was about to ask her, but Ye Yuxiao couldn't wait to urge the coachman to slap his horse and move forward in a hurry.

There was no Wujie messenger waiting for her at home, so why was she in such a hurry? Ouyang Sheng was so angry that he cracked his whip and went back home.

Ye Yuxiao was indeed in a hurry. Although there was no Wujie messenger waiting for her at home, she quickly sent someone to find out the news. It would be best to find out the specific identity of the Wujie messenger before the celebration banquet and follow her in private. Contact him. Otherwise, what can be done with just the time spent at the celebration banquet?

When she returned home, the servants came to pick her up and welcomed her into the hall. Ye Yuxiao immediately sent someone to Prince Pingnan's Mansion to ask Prince Pingnan to inquire about the envoy Wujie. She thought she was incapable of doing this kind of thing, so she might as well "gnaw at her old age".

After drinking tea and resting for a while, the steward of the family came to see him, presented the account book, and reported on the affairs of the house. Ye Yuxiao listened with a feeling of loss. When she was at home, she was a hands-off shopkeeper, and the stewards had long been trained to do so. Therefore, during the days when she was not at home, all affairs in the house were running normally, and there was nothing that she needed to deal with.

Alas, the slaves are too capable, what should we do? Ye Yuxiao held her chin in distress, looking at the room full of people in a daze.

The servants were very excited when they saw her, and asked her about her fight against the epidemic.

Ye Yuxiao spoke briefly and asked them curiously: "Are you so interested?"

"The slaves are not interested, they are proud!" Xiaozhan puffed out his chest and said, "Madam is the master of our house, and she is also the face of our house. Madam has made a contribution, and the slaves' faces are bright, and when they go out, their waists are full." Stand up straighter."

Others nodded in agreement.

Ye Yuxiao pretended to be worried: "Now that I am proud of myself, you will benefit from it. What if I fail one day?" What should you do?
