Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 510

~ PEOPLE KNEW HOW TO ACT ~ 

After leaving the Palace, Yu Wang did not return to his own estate. Instead, he went straight to the Marquis Wei’s mansion.

At this moment, in the front hall of the Marquis Wei’s mansion, Qi Runian and his two sons, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Qi Feng, and the Minister of Military Department, Qi Yun, were all waiting in the main hall. They saw Yu Wang entering the door and quickly saluted.

Yu Wang supported Marquis Wei, “Grandfather, am I not your grandson?”

Marquis Wei stood up and scrutinized Yu Wang carefully. His eyes were brimming with joy as he said, “Your Royal Highness, the ceremony cannot be abandoned.After Your Royal Highness return from Jiangnan, you have grown quite a bit.”

Yu Wang had been to the battlefield before and witnessed how grim the battlefield was. Although his temperament had been honed well, he lacked a soul, like a swordsman holding a sword, but he did not know why he had slashed this sword. This trip to Jiangnan finally complements this soul.

A bitter smile appeared on Yu Wang’s face as a tinge of sadness flashed across his face. “I would rather not see that.”

“Your Royal Highness, something has happened irretrievably, so it is more important to save the people now. The medicine materials you ordered to prepare are all ready. Your Royal Highnes can directly count them and immediately ship them to Jiangnan. In addition, the weather is already in the middle of summer, and the rainy season is approaching. The Linjiang River embankment must be repaired as soon as possible. Qi Feng has already reported to the Emperor, and the Emperor intends to have our Qi family send out people to supervise the river workers. What does Your Royal Highness think?”

“Grandfather, you have always been unwilling to fall into the struggle between the princes. However, you are dragged into it now. I have been enduring for a long time, so it is time for me to come out and fight for it.”

“If Your Highness stands up for the people and fights for the people, my Qi family will do everything in our power to help. If Your Royal Highness loses your heart in battle, I, Qi Runian, will pretend not to have Imperial Concubine Qi as a daughter and will no longer recognize Your Highness as my grandson.” Marquis Wei is over seventy years old, and his hair is graying. When he was young, he fought for years. Now, he is afflicted with elder diseases. When the weather changed, he would be in so much pain that he couldn’t bear to get out of bed. However, his eyes are still translucent as water washing the blue sky with a sense of righteousness.

Yu Wang nodded solemnly, “Yes, please rest assured. I will live up to your expectations, Grandfather.”

“Haha, with Your Royal Highness’s words, this old subject’s heart is at ease. The Qi family has opened many medicinal herb shops in various places throughout the years. This letter records the locations and manpower of all the medicinal herb shops. From today onwards, we offer it to Your Royal Highness and ask for Your Royal Highness to handle it by himself.”

“Grandfather,” Yu Wang looked at the thick letter and quickly rejected it. “This is too valuable. The Qi family has a large family to raise as well. It’s not easy to accumulate all these resources...”

“At that time, this old official was empty-handed and managed to win this family business. If those juniors had the ability, they would be able to make a name for themselves. If they are incapable, handing over this family business to them will also ruin them. It would be better to offer it to Your Royal Highness, who could use it to help the people in need. It was getting late. Your Royal Highness will be busy rushing back to Jiangnan, so this old official will not keep you any longer.”

Yu Wang looked at the Old Marquis Wei and took a deep breath before bowing respectfully to him, “Please take care, Grandfather. I will be leaving now. I’ll come pay my respects when I return from Jiangnan.”

“Take care, Your Royal Highness.” Marquis Wei stood up and led his two sons to send Yu Wang off respectfully.

Yu Wang made his way outside quickly because he knew his grandfather would maintain his respectful posture as long as he could see his figure.

When Yu Wang’s figure disappeared, Qi Feng and Qi Yun went forward to help Marquis Wei up, “Father, His Royal Highness Yu Wang has already left.”

Marquis Wei sat down on a chair and looked at his two sons, “Alright, you two don’t have to stay here anymore. Go busy yourselves with whatever you need to do.”

“Yes.”

In Jiangnan, after hearing that someone in Guancheng was infected with the plague, Mu Yunyao went to Yue Wang, and the Imperial Physicians discussed it.

They had anticipated that there would be an outbreak in Guancheng. After all, the two cities were too close to each other. These days, Guancheng has also salvaged a lot of corpses.

The Imperial Physicians’ minds could still be considered calm. The prescription that Mu Yunyao took out was quite effective. Some died from the disease because their bodies were too weak, and many were on the verge of recovery.

After thinking carefully, Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao. “Yunyao, Yishui City has almost been dealt with here. I’ll have Yu Heng take people to guard here. We’ll bring ten Imperial Physicians and head to Guancheng City together.”

Mu Yunyao had originally wanted Yue Wang to stay in Yishui City and watch over them, but when she saw his resolute expression, she couldn’t help but nod her head, “Alright.”

Yu Heng’s body had been healed, and Yishui City was on the right track. The epidemic among the victims was stable, and only half a dozen Imperial Physicians were left behind. There wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao’s slightly pale face, and he was a little worried in his heart, “Yao’er, can you support it by riding to Guancheng City? Why not ride in a carriage with the Imperial Physicians?”

Mu Yunyao turned to look at Yue Wang. Under his worried gaze, she nimbly jumped on her horse. She swung the horsewhip in her hand and took the lead to rush out of the group.

Yue Wang was stunned for a moment, and then his heart softened, and he immediately urged his horse to chase after her.

The Imperial Physicians sitting in the carriage looked at the backs of the two riding horses and raising their whips and couldn’t help but look at each other. They secretly wondered if they should practice riding and shooting after returning to the Capital. After all, although they usually treat diseases and save people, it would be fine. However, if they encounter a situation where they need to hurry on their way, it can also come in handy, right?

After this contact period, the Imperial Physicians’ impression of Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao could be said to have changed again.

Yue Wang has never been favored by the Emperor. Although he was the direct son of the Empress, he was born and raised in the Cold Palace and has developed in remote Western Guangdong to this day. Furthermore, according to the rumors, Yue Wang was cold-blooded and ruthless, and his methods were cruel, making many officials keep him at arm’s length. However, during this time, they discovered that Your Royal Highness Yue Wang didn’t have a legendary awful temper, but he liked to wear a cold face, so it was hard for people to get close to him.

In reality, people knew how to act. Even in a place like the half-mountain camp, he can pick a small flower on the ground and weave it into a wreath for Princess Wenxian to wear. Although there were some issues with their seniority, it wasn’t as if there had never been one. As long as the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De didn’t say anything, others had no right to interrupt, even if they wanted to.

Princess Wenxian is even more impressive. A delicate and weak girl like her could endure more hardships than men. She would personally select and inspect all the necessary medicinal ingredients in the camp and was even more meticulous in brewing the medicine. Even though she already had the status of a princess, she still treated those victims gently and patiently. If it weren’t for her efforts to comfort them, those victims, who were infected with the epidemic, would think they were hopeless and would have already started to make trouble. Of course, this princess possessed a sharp aura and talent.

They started their journey early in the morning, and only when the sky was dark did they arrive at Guancheng City.

At this moment, the Guancheng City gates were tightly shut. The soldiers guarding the Guancheng City gates saw someone approaching and immediately lit the torches as a warning. The sound of bows and arrows aiming caused people to feel a chill in the darkness.

“Who is down there?”

Yue Wang held onto the gold medallion and looked up at the city wall, “We are here on orders to treat the people infected with the disease in Guancheng.”

“The decree? What about the Imperial Decree?”

“His Majesty has bestowed the golden medallion to us. When you saw the golden medal, it was like facing his monarch’s face. Opened the gates!” Yue Wang’s voice w was cold, with powerful coercion in his tone.

After a moment of silence above the city gate, suddenly, the feather arrow shot over without warning!
