Chapter 140 Dr. Jiang Gains Power
Yuntian stood up from the ground and was about to clasp his fists when he suddenly felt that the hidden injury on his shoulder didn't hurt at all.
Could it be that the Crown Princess's action just now was to help heal his injuries?
His eyes lit up instantly when he looked at Shang Ruoyi, and he bowed to her back: "Thank you, Master Lingjun."
Shang Ruoyi did not stop or look back, but just waved her hand, and her figure slowly disappeared into the night.
He Jingheng slowly stood up and took a few steps slowly. He looked at his legs and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes. Soon, he would be able to return to normal as before.
Just then, Yunqi walked in with a note.
"Prince, something happened."
He Jingheng looked at the note in his hand, frowning: "We secretly sent so much silver to Liangzhou City, why can't we even build a shelter?"
"Sir, the Fourth Prince wrote that the Emperor meant that if the epidemic could not be controlled, Liangzhou City would be abandoned. The money we sent there one after another ended up in the pockets of those corrupt officials, and not much was distributed to the people below."
He Jingheng's eyes darkened. Liangzhou City was an extremely important city to Tianshun and it must not be abandoned. "You are getting more and more daring. You even dared to embezzle money from me."
"Prince, do you want to ask the Crown Princess?" Yunqi whispered, "The brothers who took the Crown Princess's pills were not infected even though they were in the epidemic area."
He Jingheng's eyes were solemn. The pills must be extremely precious. There were a huge number of people in Liangzhou City. Not to mention whether there were so many herbs, it was unknown how long it would take to make the pills.
He shook his head and whispered, "Let's see if there are any other ways. What actions will the prince take?"
"The prince originally asked Divine Doctor Jiang to treat his grandfather, but now that his grandfather's illness has not been cured, the prince has no choice but to recommend Divine Doctor Jiang to the emperor."
"With Doctor Jiang here, the plague should be able to be controlled." He Jingheng said lightly.
"But, in this case, wouldn't the Fourth Prince have come here in vain?"
"How could it be in vain?" He Jingheng sneered, "The prince's personal presence represents the emperor's grace. They knew that this was disaster relief money, but they still dared to embezzle it. The officials in Liangzhou City really need to be rectified."
At the same time, in the imperial study, the emperor looked at the memorial handed in by the fourth prince and was so angry that he threw the inkstone away.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Seeing how angry Emperor Tianshun was, Eunuch Zhang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please don't get too angry!"
"Calm down? How can I calm down?" He said loudly, "It is clearly written in the memorial of the Fourth Master that out of the 100,000 taels of silver, not even 10,000 taels were distributed. Where did all that silver go?"
Eunuch Zhang dared not say a word.
Throughout the dynasties, how many officials were not corrupt?
"Your Majesty, isn't Lord Shang also in Liangzhou City?"
His words made Emperor Tianshun pause as he was about to throw the teacup. Yes! Now, all he saw was the fourth brother's one-sided words.
Just then, a secret letter was delivered to him.
It was written by Shangnian.
The content of the letter was almost the same as what the Fourth Prince said.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Tianshun crumpled the letter into a ball, unable to suppress his anger any longer: "Draft an edict! I will sentence all officials in Liangzhou City to death!"
At this moment, a palace servant's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."
It's already late at night, what is the prince doing here at this time?
"Let him in!"
He Lingsheng walked into the imperial study and looked at the mess on the floor without any change on his face.
"Why are you here so late?" Emperor Tianshun rubbed his brows and said tiredly, "What's so urgent that you have to come to see me now?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, I have found the world's number one doctor, Doctor Jiang. With him here, the epidemic will definitely be under control."
When Emperor Tianshun heard him say this, he instantly became alert: "The best doctor in the world? Is that true?"
He Lingsheng nodded: "My grandfather was seriously ill. If it weren't for Divine Doctor Jiang, he would have passed away by now. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has the effect of bringing him back to life."
When Emperor Tianshun heard what he said, he hurriedly asked him to bring Doctor Jiang into the palace.
"I have brought him into the palace and he is outside the palace now."
Doctor Jiang walked into the imperial study and knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianshun looked at him for a long while and nodded: "He is indeed a miraculous doctor, with the style of an ancient immortal."
"I am unworthy of such praise from the Emperor." Doctor Jiang bent his body, looking nervous, with beads of sweat on his forehead, fearing that he would say something wrong and anger the Emperor.
"The prince said that you have great medical skills and can cure the epidemic. Is that true?"
Doctor Jiang whispered, "There are only a few types of epidemic diseases in the world, and the treatment methods are similar. I have helped the people of the Western Regions treat epidemic diseases before."
Emperor Tianshun nodded and said, "In that case, I will be waiting for your good news about this epidemic. If you can cure the epidemic, I will reward you handsomely!"
"I dare not accept the emperor's reward. If I can help the emperor share his worries, it will be my honor."
"Hahaha! Great!" Emperor Tianshun was delighted and praised, "You are indeed a miracle doctor. If you can resolve this crisis, you can stay in the palace and treat me!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Jiang knelt down immediately and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
When He Lingsheng heard what the emperor said, his eyes flickered slightly.
No one knows better than him what it means to be the emperor's personal physician.
It seems that he must recruit Doctor Jiang to work for him.
After returning, Doctor Jiang kept expressing his gratitude to him.
"Thanks to the recommendation of the Crown Prince, I was able to gain the Emperor's favor."
"This prince didn't do anything. It was all Dr. Jiang's own ability." He Lingsheng took a sip of tea with a faint smile on his face: "This prince used tea instead of wine. Congratulations to Dr. Jiang first."
Doctor Jiang raised his teacup: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Just then, Jiang Aner appeared at the door.
"Your Highness, Daddy." Jiang An'er was holding a food box in his hand.
"Come in." He Lingsheng frowned slightly.
Jiang An'er walked in and said with a smile, "I heard from the servants that His Highness and Daddy just came back, so I made some food and sent it over."
When Doctor Jiang saw this, a smile appeared on his face, showing that he was very satisfied with Jiang Aner's actions.
She put the food out. He Lingsheng looked at the food on the plate and frowned slightly, "I'll just let the servants do this kind of thing in the future."
Jiang An'er thought that He Lingsheng didn't want her to work hard, so she smiled and said, "Daddy likes the food I cook the most, Your Highness can try it and see if it suits your taste."
He Lingsheng just took a piece of dessert, tasted it and put it down.
"It tastes good." He swallowed it without changing his expression and stopped eating.
