Chapter 231 Interesting
Bei Xiuyan and his party quickly returned to the Regent's Mansion and took Miao Dong away with them.
In the study, Bei Xiuyan took off his outer robe and gave instructions while washing his hands.
"Qin Yu, go with Shen Ruzhou's maid to her house to take care of the food."
Qin Yu responded and asked again: "Master, you are just taking care of it, aren't you going to transport it back?"
"Don't move yet." Bei Xiuyan looked indifferently and picked up the handkerchief to wipe his hands. "Just count clearly. Now is not the time to put out food."
Bei Xiuyan threw the handkerchief into the basin, turned around and looked at Qin Yu, his voice was low and slow.
"Remember, don't let the news out. People in the capital have no food now. If they know that Princess Wucheng has a large amount of food, they will definitely be robbed."
Qianyu clasped his fists with a cautious look on his face: "I understand."
After saying that, Qian Yu immediately left.
Bei Xiuyan sat in front of the desk and took out the piece of paper given by Shen Ruzhou.
He looked at it, his face was condensed, and he said to Qin Ming: "Bring me the map."
Qin Ming took the map and spread it on the desk.
Beixiu Yan put a pen on the map and circled the locations that Shen Ruzhou had written.
Qin Ming looked at the map in confusion, "Master, what is this?"
"The outbreak point of the plague predicted by Shen Ruzhou." Beixiu Yan said without raising his head.
Qin Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Bei Xiuyan's slender fingers moved on the map, connecting several locations, and actually surrounded the capital.
Qin Ming asked in shock: "Is there a plague that has spread around the capital? How is this possible?!"
Bei Xiuyan didn't speak, and looked at the map quietly, his eyes as deep as an icy pool.
As far as they know, apart from the plague in the military camp and Liaodong, there are only a few patients in Minzhou.
These places are not circulated, and the places Shen Ruzhou gave are all near the capital, and almost all the cities around the capital have suffered from plague.
Qin Ming shook his head and said in disbelief: "How could it be so serious? Since ancient times, plague has not been able to spread on a large scale in a short period of time. I'm afraid what Princess Wucheng said is too mysterious."
Qin Ming knew that Shen Ruzhou was capable, but he still questioned her prediction. He couldn't believe it more because if it was true, the capital would be in danger.
After a moment of silence, Beixiu Yan said in a calm voice: "Let someone check first. Once it is confirmed that there is a plague, the area will be sealed off immediately, the patients will be quarantined together, and doctors will be sent to treat it."
"Yes." Qin Ming responded solemnly.
Beixiu Yan added: "Shen Ruzhou said that there should be cases in these places, but they are only individual cases and have not spread yet. Once they spread, the consequences will be disastrous. While the situation is not so bad now, we must kill it in time." .”
Famine is easy to deal with. If there is water to drink, no one will die for a while, but the plague is different. The uncontrollable factors are too high and must be controlled.
"My subordinates understand." Qin Ming clasped his fists and asked, "What are those food masters going to do with it?"
"From my subordinates' point of view, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Princess Wucheng gave away so much food, and I always feel that there is something fishy behind it."
Mentioning Shen Ruzhou, Qin Ming carefully looked at Bei Xiuyan's face, "Now, after all, she is still King Wucheng's princess. She once expressed her feelings to King Wucheng vigorously, but now she is married but does not help King Wucheng. It’s a bit strange to help the master instead.”
Bei Xiuyan leaned on the backrest and gently turned the jade ring with his fingers. Feng Shen's handsome face had a pale look and no expression.
"Prince Yu can't sit still and wants to take advantage of this famine and plague to fight for the throne. Doesn't King Wucheng not want to?" Qin Ming looked at Beixiu's banquet and said: "Master, you collected Princess Wucheng's food. What are you going to do?”
"Do nothing." Bei Xiuyan said in a calm tone, a cold light flashed in his ruthless and indifferent eyes, and a faint coldness appeared on his handsome face.
"Previously, King Wucheng showed his kindness many times and wanted to win over me. Now King Yu can't sit still anymore. The last time he came to see me, he just wanted me to stand in line and help him."
Qin Ming hesitated and said, "What do you mean, Master?"
"I won't help anyone." Beixiu Yan Youyou picked up the tea cup, a look of cruelty flashed across his indifferent handsome face.
"The credit for dealing with famine and plague cannot fall on either of them."
Qin Ming's eyes flashed slightly, "The master wants them to kill each other, so he will hold his troops back for now. When they fight to the point of insecurity, you can then release food to save the people from the fire and water."
Bei Xiuyan raised his eyebrows slightly and took a sip of tea.
Qin Ming felt relieved, nodded and said: "I understand."
Qin Ming looked at the master he had served for many years with awe in his heart.
He knew very well that his master was decisive and ruthless in his actions. If the sacrifice was necessary, the master would not hesitate at all. It could be said that except for the life of the young master, the master could sacrifice anyone, even himself.
The rumors about the master from the outside world may not be all lies.
"However, Princess Wucheng's actions are indeed a bit suspicious. My subordinates know that the princess is powerful, but this is amazing. She actually gathered food just before the famine broke out. Isn't it a coincidence?" Qin Ming said while touching his chin.
Beixiu Yan blew hot tea gently, and the dense water vapor blurred his handsome features. Qin Ming couldn't see the expression on his handsome face clearly and asked tentatively.
"Master, do you want to keep an eye on Princess Wucheng?"
Although Princess Wucheng and her master have already reached a cooperation and have always been helping him, he thinks of her well in his heart, but because of her identity, he can't help but be suspicious of her. He is really worried about Wucheng The princess is setting a trap for her master.
Bei Xiuyan put down the tea cup, lightly opened his thin lips, and said, "People have to keep an eye on her."
Qin Ming felt quite relieved. Although his master liked Princess Wucheng, he was not completely confused. He still remained calm and rational, knowing that he was wary of the princess.
He nodded and was about to respond when he heard his master say: "The situation in the capital is complicated right now and her identity is sensitive. I'm afraid she has become a thorn in others' eyes. She may be in danger at any time. Send more people to protect her secretly."
Qin Ming opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
He glanced at Bei Xiuyan sadly and responded with difficulty: "Yes."
After Qin Ming left, Beixiu Yan sat quietly in front of the desk and took out a pearl flower from his arms.
This was what Shen Ruzhou dropped that time.
His fingers gently stroked the round beads, and Shen Ruzhou's beautiful face appeared in his mind, with a sharp edge flashing in his dark eyes.
Putting aside everything else, from the moment she appeared, she had accomplished incredible things again and again, frequently surprising him.
Gathering food for famine, collecting herbs for plague, predicting the outbreak point of plague, and delivering medicine to the battlefield. She is like a fairy who knows everything.
Even if she gives an explanation for everything, is it just a coincidence and can she solve everything perfectly?
Bei Xiuyan held the delicate beaded flower in his hand, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his half-lidded eyes revealed a deep light.
If this famine and plague were successfully quelled by Shen Ruzhou, then she would be so interesting...
