Chapter 111 The crime of having a jade
From the day his father ascended the throne, Xia Yu always felt that the world was so big, but he was all alone!
No one understands him.
Although he and the crown prince are both the legitimate sons of his father the emperor and his mother the empress.
But because of this, it was easy for him to be tacitly regarded by his father, the emperor and his mother as a pretender to the crown prince's imperial power.
Even if he did nothing.
The common man is not guilty.
It’s a crime to possess a jade!
Except for the crown prince, he, the King of Qin and the King of Jin are all the emperor's legitimate sons.
It can be said that these three are the strongest competitors for the crown prince to inherit the throne in the future, or the biggest variables.
Therefore, whether in the court or in the hearts of officials, the four of them would often be compared.
Various related remarks have also become more or less prevalent in the market.
As long as the prince has not ascended the throne, the three of them will always be treated hot and cold.
Even though Xia Yu respected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his heart, he had never had the slightest thought of seizing power from the Crown Prince.
But just because of his status as the legitimate son, he was always suspected by his father and alienated by his mother.
All the way from the capital to Haozhou and then to Qingzhou, Shen Yuyao was openly and secretly recruiting talents and cultivating confidants for Yanjing.
Xia Yu saw it all and kept it in mind.
At this moment, he felt that he would no longer be alone on the road ahead.
......
"What? Free clinic?" Prince Lu stood up suddenly, his face ashen.
"Princess Ning is providing free medical consultation at the Qingzhou City Inn? She's also giving away free medicine? Where did you get this information?"
"Those medicinal herbs were purchased with my money, King Lu! Why should she give them to me as gifts?" King Lu said with a gloomy face.
The steward of Prince Lu's mansion replied, "I am not very clear, but I heard that Princess Ning has been practicing medicine at the post house since yesterday."
"Yesterday morning, there was a long queue at the post station. The officials of the post station also came to ask to see the prince. Now the post station is overcrowded."
"King Ning forced him to continue opening other houses for free medical treatment of those seriously ill patients."
"Officials dare not disobey King Ning, and there are indeed no more houses available for these people."
"The posthouse is specially built to receive officials from all over the country. If officials from other territories come, how should we receive them?"
Although the Prince of Lu had always neglected the political affairs of Qingzhou, this was after all his fiefdom, so what would it matter if the Prince of Ning interfered?
What's more, Princess Ning has not yet said how much profit was made from the medicinal materials and when the profits will be divided?
"Princess Ning, I want to have a discussion with you."
"It's impossible that two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver are gone just like that!"
"If you throw a stone into the water, you can hear a sound!"
"You really don't take me seriously! I'll go to the inn right now to see what Princess Ning has to say!" Prince Lu had a gloomy face and went out with several ferocious-looking guards from the palace.
Shen Yuyao was wearing a cloth dress and deliberately made herself look a few years older.
After all, she is not yet 20 years old, and her practice still gives patients some confidence.
With Shen Yuyao's medical skills, she can definitely compete with the imperial doctors in the palace.
However, people generally prefer to trust older doctors.
Shen Yuyao was afraid that the patients did not trust her enough and could not even take the medicine she prescribed on time and in the correct dosage.
It will delay the disease!
So I deliberately acted a bit older.
Xia Yu was also wearing ordinary clothes today. All the banknotes and luxurious clothes of his family were exchanged by Shen Yuyao for the mountains of medicinal materials in the inn in front of them.
Only Xia Xiaoxian, the two men felt sorry for her and did not take her gorgeous clothes to change the medicine.
When Xia Xiaoxian saw that her parents were dressed so simply, she also clamored to change her clothes.
Shen Yuyao did not agree with her.
Free clinic at the post house.
Zi Su lifted the curtain and entered the clinic.
"Zi Su, go and see if this batch of medicine in the pharmacy is ready?" Shen Yuyao stood up and stretched her body, then said to Zi Su who came in.
"Miss, I have just checked it and it is ready." Zi Su reminded with a smile, "I am here to take the family members of the seriously ill patients to the pharmacy to get the medicine."
Shen Yuyao nodded, took out the list and handed it to Zi Su, "Just follow this list and take the names away."
After this batch of medicine was delivered, there was not enough indigo root.
Shen Yuyao frowned as she looked at the many patients queuing at the door.
In recent days, patients have also been found in neighboring San Francisco.
Jingrentang also started providing free medical consultations and free medicines to treat patients. The amount of indigo root purchased at the beginning was barely enough.
As for the other vassal states that are farther away, although there has been no news yet, the mobilization of medicinal materials will be much slower due to the long distances.
Shen Yuyao's mind was working rapidly.
We have to come up with a better way!
"Yuyao, can we let the patient in?" Xia Yu walked in from outside the clinic and asked.
"My Lord, this medicine..."
Shen Yuyao looked up at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu realized that there was not enough medicine.
"How long can I last?"
"By tomorrow at most, there won't be a penny of blue root left!"
[Add dandelion and bitter aloe vera together to temporarily replace blue root. 】
[Although the effect is not as good as that of blue root, it can still relieve the condition of patients with mild symptoms. ]
[For those with severe cases, the blood of my mother or Xiaoxian must be used as a medicine. ]
【Go out and take a look.】
While Shen Yuyao isn't paying attention.
Xia Xiaoxian knelt down on her short legs and crawled out from under the free clinic table.
Yes, for mild cases, add dandelion instead of indigo root; for severe cases, you can only suffer the pain yourself!
Shen Yuyao's expression finally relaxed.
He turned around and wanted to hug Xia Xiaoxian, but found that she had quietly run out of the free clinic.
Shen Yuyao said to Xia Yu anxiously: "My Lord, Xiaoxian ran away quietly, you must find her back quickly!"
When Xia Yu heard this, his head started to swell.
Whenever Xia Xiaoxian runs away, something almost always happens.
"I will go and find the little princess right now, please don't..."
Before he could finish his words, the door was suddenly kicked open!
"Shen Yuyao! How dare you cheat me of my money!"
"I want to see where you put my money!"
Prince Lu kicked the door open!
Clang.
"Shen Yuyao! Come out! Give me back my money!" Prince Lu stood at the door with a ferocious face.
Shen Yuyao was standing and couldn't help but swayed by the sudden roar.
Xia Yu was standing right behind the door that was kicked open, and his face looked gloomy.
"What are you doing here? There are patients here! Get out." Shen Yuyao's heart was beating wildly. Is Prince Lu crazy? He almost kicked his fourth brother. Does he know?
Prince Lu sneered, and the guards from Prince Ning's mansion walked in.
"This is not Yanjing! This is Qingzhou, my vassal state. Why can't you come?"
"Shen Yuyao, return my money quickly. It seems that I will not bother with Xia Yu's face!"
Before Prince Lu came in, he asked the officials at the post station, and they all said that they had not seen Prince Ning.
He then drove the patient away and kicked open the door of the free clinic.
"If you don't return my money today, I will ask for it back even if Xia Yu is here!"
