Chapter 478 Someone else
Not only is there flooding in Hexi now, but long-term heavy rains have also caused malaria to break out there. Although the imperial court has sent a large amount of medicinal materials to Hexi and transferred many doctors there, it still cannot curb the speed of the infection.
Today, someone in the court actually said that the best way is to burn the city.
Wouldn't that mean slaughtering everyone in the city?
Fu Jinyi was furious and put the official who proposed the massacre directly into jail.
He would never allow such a cruel thing to happen.
However, he also couldn't bear to watch his only brother go to such a dangerous place.
"No means no, brother, you don't have to say it, I don't want to listen." Fu Jinyi simply covered his ears. He would never agree.
Fu Jinyuan sighed helplessly, "Just listen to me first."
"My mother and sister-in-law will definitely not agree." Fu Jinyi shouted.
"What do you disagree with?" Empress Dowager Ruan's voice happened to come from outside.
Fu Jinyi stood up and hurriedly walked towards Queen Mother Ruan as if he had seen reinforcements, "Mother, you've come at the right time. Go and persuade my eldest brother. He said he wants to go to Hexi to provide disaster relief."
Empress Dowager Ruan frowned upon hearing this: "Hasn't the imperial envoy for disaster relief already been appointed today? A Yuan, you can't go."
Fu Jinyuan invited Queen Mother Ruan to take a seat, and then slowly explained, "Mother, have you heard the nursery rhyme that is being spread outside?"
"Yeah." Queen Mother Ruan's expression turned cold, and anger flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"The floods in Hexi have already been mentioned. If anything bad comes out from Hexi again, the people behind the scenes will have an excuse to attack the emperor." Fu Jinyuan said in a deep voice.
By then, if the people behind the scenes use the flood disaster in Hexi to make it seem like the new emperor is unworthy of his position, the people will be easily influenced by the rumors, and if people's hearts are unstable, the country will be unstable.
He also wanted to know whether the person behind this was related to Hexi.
"There's one more thing." Fu Jinyuan continued.
"The person buried in He Zhiyuan's brother's grave is not He Zhitian."
Queen Mother Ruan was stunned, "What?"
"I suspect that the real He Zhitian is not dead. I went to Hexi for two reasons: one is to provide disaster relief, and the other is to find out the whereabouts of He Zhitian," said Fu Jinyuan.
"Isn't He Zhitian a sickly person?" Fu Jinyi asked in surprise.
Fu Jinyuan: "Everyone says he is a sickly person, but apart from hearsay, who has seen him in person? I asked someone to check, and almost no one in the royal capital has seen He Zhitian."
I heard from He Zhiyuan that his elder brother was not feeling well and needed to stay in bed to rest.
Even Liu Miaoxin, the woman who married him, can't remember what he looked like now.
There is a big problem with this person's existence.
Empress Dowager Ruan looked solemn. When she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she had never seen He Zhitian before she entered the palace.
"Who do you suspect he is?" asked Queen Mother Ruan.
Fu Jinyuan's eyes were deep, like thick ink rolling, "Mother, do you still remember the treasure you told me about?"
"I suspect that He Zhitian's real identity may not be He Zhiyuan's brother, but may be related to the previous dynasty. Fu Yuxuan's biological father should be He Zhitian."
This also explains why He Zhiyuan supported Fu Yuxuan and was so sure about the existence of the treasure of the previous dynasty. He must have had accurate information, which is why he put so much thought into it.
Queen Mother Ruan took a deep breath and said, "What you said does make some sense."
She had never thought of this possibility!
"Mother, I must find this person." Fu Jinyuan said in a deep voice.
"Even if you want to find He Zhitian, you don't have to go to Hexi by yourself." Fu Jinyi said.
"Your Majesty, I will only feel at ease if I go alone." Fu Jinyuan said in a low voice.
Fu Jinyi: "Then I'll go with you?"
Empress Dowager Ruan was helpless: "Don't make trouble."
"Why would I just cause trouble if I go? Is it dangerous for me but not for my brother?" Fu Jinyi said.
"I will bring Zhou Zhou and enough guards with me. You are the master of the world and you have just ascended the throne. For the stability of the court, you cannot leave the capital easily." Fu Jinyuan said.
Empress Dowager Ruan: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. This matter is of great importance. If He Zhitian's identity is really as we guessed, he must have hidden power among the people."
Even the Queen Mother said so, Fu Jinyi knew that it would be useless no matter how hard he tried to stop it.
"When will we set off?" asked Queen Mother Ruan.
Fu Jinyuan: "Tomorrow."
"Then you should go back as soon as possible and say goodbye to Sui Sui in a nice way. She will worry about you," Empress Dowager Ruan advised.
"it is good."
Fu Jinyi pursed his lips and his eyes were a little red.
"Take two more imperial doctors with you. I'll ask the Imperial Hospital to prepare some more medicinal materials."
Fu Jinyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I'm so pissed off." Fu Jinyi said angrily, "If you catch He Zhitian, I won't let him off."
When Fu Jinyuan left the palace, the storyteller in the royal capital had already started telling stories.
He heard the storytelling at the door of the teahouse.
"Your Highness, the princess must have asked someone to tell a story." Yu Bai couldn't help but say.
In the past in Kyoto City, the princess had used the same method to fight back against others.
A smile appeared on Fu Jinyuan's lips.
This is indeed what Shen Suian would do. As smart as she is, she would definitely know that someone is sowing discord behind the scenes after hearing the content of the nursery rhyme.
He must make it clear to her that he is going to Hexi so that she won't worry.
"Go back home." Fu Jinyuan said.
The content of the storytelling soon spread to the palace.
Finally, Fu Jinyi's mood improved a little.
Empress Dowager Ruan listened to Qingdai's report, and the anger on her face did not dissipate at all.
"Send Liao Yingying to the palace." Empress Dowager Ruan said in a low voice.
Qing Dai was stunned. "Empress Dowager, Lieutenant General Liao is in the suburbs. Would it be against the palace ban if he entered the palace at this time?"
"Go and tell him!" Empress Dowager Ruan's voice suddenly became stern.
After serving the Empress Dowager for so many years, Qingdai hasn't seen Empress Dowager Ruan so angry for a long time.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qingdai didn't dare to say another word.
Liao Yingying was the deputy general in the women's army. She was selected and trained by Empress Dowager Nguyen from the Salesian Institute. She could be said to be the Empress Dowager's most loyal confidant.
I don’t know why the Queen Mother is so angry.
Qingdai did not dare to hesitate and immediately sent someone to summon Liao Yingying. Unexpectedly, Liao Yingying seemed to have known that Empress Dowager Ruan would summon her and had been waiting outside the palace.
Empress Dowager Ruan looked at her coldly and said, "Kneel outside and receive twenty lashes first."
In the hall, the palace servants were terrified.
The Empress Dowager never got angry and punished her servants easily, let alone General Liao, who was a female official. What did she do to make the Empress Dowager so angry?
Liao Yingying bowed in response, turned around and knelt in front of the corridor.
"Come on, fight!"
Queen Mother Ruan glanced at Qingdai.
Qingdai's heart beat wildly and she immediately went to get the whip. After hesitating for a moment, she finally started to hit Empress Dowager Ruan when she saw her gloomy face.
The sound of the whip hitting the body was like hitting everyone's heart.
The entire Kunning Palace was plunged into a heavy atmosphere.
Empress Dowager Ruan had never been so angry. What exactly did General Liao do?
