The prince is difficult

"I don't know how long it will take for this spring rain to stop." Outside the dilapidated temple, a man stood half leaning against the door. Climbing in through the shabby place, but people can't help but gather up their coats.

After spring, this low temperature weather has lasted for a long time, and it is already March and April, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is bizarre.During the day, the sun is warm and the people are very comfortable, but at night, the cold wind blows loudly, as if the winter has not yet passed, the climate is hot and cold, not to mention people are not used to it, the crops in the field Most of them are dead.

At night, the light rain fell lightly, and the sound of footsteps outside the house approached the ruined temple, but soon, the footprints were washed away by the rain.

Standing in the middle of the ruined temple, Gong Yubo, who was keeping warm by the bonfire, opened her eyes and tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword.The only light in the ruined temple disappeared immediately, and the whole ruined temple merged into darkness.In the dark night outside, I can't see my fingers.

"inside."

"You surround the ruined temple well, not a single fly will be let go."

In the middle of the night, a big hole was broken at the top of the ruined temple, swords and swords flashed, blood spattered three feet, lightning flashed, and a burst of lightning struck down, illuminating most of the sky.

Gong Yubo's icy eyes swept over a group of people, all of them trained quickly and came quietly.It's not like an ordinary house robbery at all.

"Who sent you here?"

The blood under the sword slid down and landed on the ground, and was quickly washed away by the rain.

"Don't say? Die!"

A fierce battle begins!

in the palace

It was rare for Imperial Physician Zhong to take the initiative to take the pulse of His Highness the Fourth Highness, and Gong Jin also found out his temper, so he dismissed everyone.

"Your Highness, I found something in your vomit last time."

Gong Jin pretended to be innocent, and said in surprise, "Let me tell you, the imperial physician, what exactly did I eat to cause that?"

Zhong Fan unhurriedly took out a lot of things from the medical box, what surprised Gong Jin the most was that he actually took out a mouse.

"Doctor, what is the use of this mouse?" Gong Jin really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhong Fan's gourd, and was curious.

Zhong Fan glanced at Gong Jin indifferently, and said, "Your Highness, let's see what I will do next."

Watching Zhong Fan pick out the black substance he picked out from the filth, and stuff it into the little mouse's mouth.The little mouse was still alive and kicking, trying to break free from Zhong Fan's five claws, but after half a stick of incense, the little mouse died of exhaustion.

Gong Jin's eyes widened, and he pointed at the little mouse on the table, speechless for a while.But all of them sighed in their hearts, Zhong Fan is simply too smart, worthy of being Uncle Ye's apprentice, he found poisonous ingredients in the food he vomited out, and in order to convince him, he even got living animals to do experiments, This medical skill is really good, hey, it is simply a talent.

Zhong Fan, however, was frightened when Gong Jin knew the truth, so he comforted him a little, "Your Highness need not worry, I found that your highness's physique is weak but healthy after seeing his highness's vomiting last time. With a ruddy complexion, I can't help but boldly guess that the toxins in the palace are not enough to affect His Highness's body."

The black substance extracted from the filth has faded in color, so the poison must have stayed in the body for a very long time.He couldn't help but make a bold guess, advancing the time by five to ten years...

"Your Highness, when you lived in the Jinye Palace, the food and drink were personally controlled by the concubine Jin?"

Hearing Zhong Fan mention the events of that year, Gong Jin couldn't help touching his face. Could it be that Concubine Jin's inexplicable slap was because of this matter?

If he who was fostered by Concubine Jin was poisoned, but the second prince who ate and drank with him was alive and kicking, no one would guess that it was Concubine Jin who killed him.

"Besides this palace, who else did the imperial physician disclose to?"

Zhong Fan immediately shook his head, these matters are not settled yet, how dare he speak to others, if he is not careful, he will get angry.

"The imperial physician should think carefully for me." Gong Jin's expression was indifferent, but his eyes darkened. This slap seemed to be an innocent disaster, and he felt a little wronged.

"Your Highness, don't you trust me?"

Gong Jin stared at his cold eyes for a while, and smiled, "The imperial doctor misunderstood, this matter is of great importance, if you are not careful, you will be killed, so it is better to ask clearly."

For some reason, when Zhong Fan heard Gong Jin say this, he felt an indescribable bitterness, as well as a trace of pity that should never have been felt.After thinking about it, it's probably because their backgrounds are slightly similar.

The mother and concubine of the Fourth Highness have been locked in the cold palace. His Highness was admitted to Yudie when he was five years old, and then he was admitted to the Jinye Palace and handed over to Concubine Jin to raise her personally.If Concubine Jin had no children, it might be easier for His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness.However, Concubine Jin also has a second prince under her knees, who is several years older than Gong Jin.How life is going during this period, probably only His Highness knows clearly.After she was ten years old, she separated from Concubine Jin and was arranged to live in the Liangchen Palace. In the past ten years, her life has not been stable, but she has always been drifting away.Ordinary people would probably not be able to stop their pity if they heard about His Highness's life experience.

Now that His Royal Highness is learning about the toxin in his body, the first thing he thinks about is not to find out who poisoned him, but how to hide the matter and how to work hard to survive in this crack.

When Zhong Fan looked at Gong Jin again, his expression couldn't help but changed, and the expression on his face became more and more gentle.

Gong Jin lowered her head and drank her tea, not knowing that a single sentence would instantly change Doctor Zhong's view.

"Your Highness, on your forehead..." Zhong Fan pointed to the spot of scarlet on the center of Gong Jin's eyebrows, it was just a little red when I saw it last time, he thought it was His Highness who had rouged somewhere.Unexpectedly, after a few days of not seeing each other, the scarlet became more and more mellow, turning into a red mole.Although His Highness has red lips and white teeth, and looks feminine, the addition of such a red mole makes the whole face more alluring and more like a "woman"?

Gong Jin touched the red spot protruding from her forehead, thinking that it must be because she has been feeding the baby Jin Chan diligently recently, and the red mole has become more and more obvious. I don't know if it will continue to grow...

"The imperial doctor is worried. I don't know why a red mole has grown on me." Gong Jin pretended to be ignorant and pushed the matter away.

"Is there any discomfort in your highness? Or how does your highness feel when this red mole grows?"

Gong Jin shook his head, he didn't know very well.

When Zhong Fan left, he passed by the Red Star Court and remembered that he also left Liangchen Palace in such a hurry a few days ago, and then met a little palace lady here.

But this shouldn't cause His Royal Highness to get killed, right?

Zhong Fan thought about it, and couldn't help laughing that he was a little nervous.

In the court hall, Gong Ding looked at the memorial in front of him again and again.

"After the spring, the climate that should have warmed up became extremely cold. Many people's crops froze to death in the fields, and the people's lives were miserable. What's more, some areas continued to snow, and the crops in the fields did not harvest. According to many people's feedback, there are a lot of beggars this year, and the number of beggars we welcome in the capital continues to double every day, and the number will probably continue to rise."

"There has been a lot of child trafficking in the southern border area, some are lost, some are selling their own children, but the informant said that they saw people trafficking children out of the world."

"There is an area in the east that claims to be the Valley of Death. Some people say that it is the place where horse thieves are stationed. However, most of the merchants or officials passing by will never return. This group of horse thieves kills without blinking an eye. They often harass the surrounding villages and rob people. Girl wait."

After reading so many memorials, Gong Ding classified them according to their importance and brought them up one by one.

"Do you have any suggestions, my loves?"

Fewer beggars can show that the country is rich and the people are safe, especially at the foot of the emperor in Kyoto. If the people live in unspeakable misery, then he will be ridiculed by the world, and he will be recorded in the annals of history in the future. He is just a "fat" The name.

Therefore, the first problem to be solved is the problem that the people are most concerned about.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the above, this is a natural disaster. I believe that our first priority is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. If the people run out of food, we will open warehouses to rescue the disaster."

As for who will open the position, that is another question worth discussing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my minister objected. I believe that opening warehouses for disaster relief will not solve the fundamental problem, and we still need to..."

Several ministers spoke their own reasons, and several princes listened from the side, watching the look of the palace tripod on the dragon chair.On the other hand, Gong Jin was thoughtful.The area mentioned in the memorial has been severely damaged by the climate. This situation is somewhat similar to the natural disaster that Uncle Ye mentioned to him.

If the cold spring does not pass, the people will be in dire straits, and there will be wailing everywhere, which will be very detrimental to the people and the court.

"Liangchen, do you have any other good suggestions?"

Several princes were questioned by Gong Ding one by one, the establishment of a crown prince was imminent, and the performance of several princes in the hall would directly affect the final result.Ever since, the princes talked eloquently and expressed their thoughts very clearly.

On the contrary, it was Gong Jin who lost his mind during the court.

Gong Jin was stunned for a long time before he realized that his emperor's father was calling him. After hesitating for a while, he stood up and said, "Returning to father, I also think that the most urgent thing is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people."

"Oh?"

In fact, every time Gong Jin went to the morning court, she would hear the end from the beginning to the end in obscurity, that is, stand from the beginning to the end, and then leave when the father-in-law shouted to retreat.

Gong Jin thought to himself, Uncle Ye's way of raising donations for disaster relief is certainly a good idea, but it's terrifying, so it's better not to talk about it for now, otherwise, after returning today, I don't know if I can see the sun tomorrow.
