Chapter 725: Preparation to Stop Prince Di from Returning to Beijing
"Oh? Ye Chudi wants to go back to Beijing?" A cold voice sounded.
Ye Xiaohan turned his wrist and put the sword back into the scabbard accurately with one neat movement.
The guard who reported the news nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty. I received a pigeon message from the spy who stayed in the northern border. It seems that Prince Di will start to return to the capital in the next few days."
"Your Highness, now is not the time for the Fourth Prince to return to Beijing. In the past, didn't the Fourth Prince only come back during the annual meeting?" Wei Song's wheat-colored face was full of confusion.
Ye Xiaohan smiled coldly, "There is nothing going on in the capital, he must have other intentions in rushing back so anxiously."
King Di Yechudi holds military power and is stationed in the northern border all year round. He seems to have the character of a military commander, but in fact he has ulterior motives.
Ye Xiaohan threw the sword in his hand to Wei Song, "This is the end of today's martial arts training."
When Wei Bai heard the news from the Northern Territory, he hurried to the martial arts training ground.
"Your Majesty, is the Fourth Prince going back to the capital?"
"Yeah." Ye Xiaohan walked out.
"Your Highness, it may not be a good idea for the Fourth Prince to return to the capital." Wei Bai followed Ye Xiaohan's steps and made a bold guess: "Your Highness, I feel that the Fourth Prince has bad intentions. When Your Highness led the troops to the battle before, the Fourth Prince also secretly targeted the military funds of the Jinxiang Guard. The Fourth Prince is not very friendly to us."
"I know." Ye Xiaohan looked calm, without any emotion on his face.
"Your Highness, in your opinion, does the Fourth Prince want to return to the capital on his own initiative or did the Emperor order him to come back?" Wei Song asked seriously.
"Both." Ye Xiaohan glanced at his subordinates and said to Wei Bai and others calmly, "First, the Fourth Prince heard about the recent developments in the capital and learned that the Crown Prince was in a bad situation. So he was eager to return to the capital to show off in front of the Emperor and to fight for something."
"Secondly, the Emperor is already dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. The Fifth Prince is ill, and the other princes are not valued by the Emperor. The Emperor also wants to summon the Fourth Prince back to the capital to evaluate him."
Wei Song and the others suddenly realized, "I understand."
Ye Xiaohan looked at the guard who reported the news: "Send a message back to the Northern Realm, and have our people continue to monitor the Fourth Prince's movements. Also, secretly create some movement in the Northern Realm so that the Fourth Prince cannot get away."
The spies in the Night Palace knew in advance that the King Di was going to return to the capital, so the people in the Night Palace had enough time to deal with the King Di's return. In addition, Ye Xiaohan had already issued an order in advance that if the King Di had the intention to return, the people ambushed in the North Boundary would start to stop him.
Therefore, Ye Xiaohan had already prepared to deal with King Di.
Then, Ye Xiaohan instructed Wei Song, "You are responsible for deploying our personnel near the northern border and sending them to stop the fourth prince from returning to the capital."
"I understand! I'll go down and arrange people right away." Wei Song took the order seriously.
Ye Xiaohan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was no emotion in his expression.
The situation in the capital seemed calm on the surface, but in reality it was a furnace that could erupt into unrest at any time. He would not let the Fourth Prince return easily as he wished.
In a medicine room of Herb Hall, not long ago, Yun Mujiu, upon hearing the prompt from the doctor's system, ordered Fusang and Suixi to go out and look for someone.
As soon as Fusang and Suixi walked out of the room, Yun Mujiu quickly adjusted the round hat on his head. His fingers felt a chill, and the hope in his heart sank slightly. It seemed that this shielding hat was useless.
Yun Mujiu sent a few waiters to receive visiting patients and found that the three doctors on duty did not have any patients who needed urgent medical treatment, and most of the patients queuing for treatment looked indifferent and no one was in danger of life.
Fortunately, Yun Mujiu remembered the last time he looked for Ling Xingmu who was ill, and took a few people out of the herb hall.
Sure enough, from a distance I saw a group of people gathered together, chattering, and I had no idea what they were discussing.
Yun Mujiu and his companions could not see what the scene was like inside the crowd.
In the middle of the crowd, there was an old man with a panicked look. He was dressed simply and looked extremely anxious. His two thin arms were pulling a small cart, and under the cover of a few rags on the cart, there seemed to be a person lying inside.
"Everyone, my child has severe abdominal pain. Is there any kind-hearted person who can save him?"
The crowd was in an uproar, looking at the old man and the man on the cart.
Someone suggested: "Old man, if the child is unwell, you should send him to the doctor as soon as possible."
"I sent him to two pharmacies, and they both said there was no cure!" The old man became more and more panicked, his voice tinged with tears: "Besides, the medicine they prescribed had no effect on my child. The consultation fee is expensive, and I, a poor old man, really can't afford it!"
Everyone frowned, and they were at a loss for a moment. After hearing what the old man said, they knew that not only did the old man have no money to treat the child, but the child was suffering from a very difficult disease, and it was probably impossible to save the child even if he spent all his money.
Someone thought of the famous pharmacy in the capital, "How about sending it to the Herb Hall? The doctors there are very skilled, and the medicines there are even better, especially those secret medicines, which are extremely effective."
The old man's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed. How could he afford to treat such a powerful medicine cabinet?
Seeing the old man crying, many people took out a few silver pieces or copper coins from their arms and gave them to him.
Of course, when faced with an incurable disease, the required consultation fee is of course extremely high. A few pieces of silver and copper coins are simply a drop in the bucket.
What's more, money doesn't necessarily cure illness. The man on the cart didn't even make a sound. He must be dying of illness.
"Old man!" Yun Mujiu and Suixi Fusang pushed through the crowd and finally came to the old man.
The old man was slightly stunned when he saw the woman in plain clothes in front of him.
"If you don't mind, let me give it a try. I'm the attending doctor at the Herbal Hall." Yun Mujiu faced the old man, half-lifting the gauze of his veil, revealing a delicate face. The calmness on his face made others feel relieved.
The crowd was slightly surprised. They didn't see the face under the veil so they didn't know who was talking. The doctors at the Herb Hall were both male and female. Some people didn't think that the plain woman in front of them was the Night Princess.
In the private room of the restaurant on the second floor facing the street, two people were staring at the movement below. Haha, they saw a good show as soon as they arrived in the capital. It was indeed Zhongyue Capital, which was more lively than other places...
