What important matter could the people have with her?
At this time, Huang Quan reminded her: "I remember that after we went to Ji 'an Prefecture, there was quite a bit of trouble because Princess closed Hundred Herb Hall. The Eighth Prince even opened one himself. Not only did he kill someone, but he also made a bunch of fake and rotten medicine that tricked quite a few people. If it's the citizens that have come, as this servant sees it, it's most likely related to Hundred Herb Hall. "
The servant who came to report quickly nodded and said: "Elder sister Huang Quan is right. The citizens are indeed here to petition for Princess to reopen Hundred Herb Hall. Right now, they are all kneeling in front of the fu!"
The citizens were kneeling in front of the fu. This had a large impact. Feng Yu Heng had no choice but to leave the fu to take a look. She saw that there were quite a few citizens that had come to ask for leave. At a glance, they filled half the street.
Seeing her come out, someone immediately took the lead and loudly said: "Begging Princess Ji 'an to reopen Hundred Herb Hall for the benefit of the citizens!"
Under his lead, everyone followed and shouted: "Begging Princess Ji 'an to reopen Hundred Herb Hall for the benefit of the citizens!"
Feng Yu Heng stood in front of the fu and looked at these people. They were all citizens of the capital. There were poor people and rich people. She could tell from their clothes. She understood the urgent need for a Hundred Herb Hall. It was easy to go from simple to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to simple. They were used to advanced medical treatment and were used to modern Chinese and Western medicine. If they were asked to return to the era of bitter medicinal soups, they would not be able to go back. But … …
"I understand everyone's feelings." She said to the citizens: "But the reason Hundred Herb Hall was closed, as I said before, was because of a group of important officials in court. This caused Hundred Herb Hall to be closed. If it is to be reopened, it is not something that I can decide on my own. It will depend on the palace's opinion and the Emperor's opinion. Also … … "She changed the topic," I'm afraid that Father Emperor will also ask for the opinions of the officials. The opinions of the previous Eighth Prince, His Highness Prince Sheng. "
The citizens were already clear on this matter. They had caused trouble with the Eighth Prince more than once or twice. But when Feng Yu Heng was not in the capital, it was pointless to cause trouble. Now that she was back, they had a pillar of support. Someone immediately said: "We are all willing to stand up for Imperial Daughter! Stand up for Hundred Herb Hall! No matter who wants to stop us, we will not agree! "
"That's right! We have been harmed miserably enough by the eighth prince. He got a Persian doctor, and not only did he kill someone, even now, there are still so many people who ate his fake medicine and became even more seriously ill. My old mother still can't get up from her bed. How many doctors have we invited, but they all said that at the beginning, they used ineffective medicine and delayed the treatment. Imperial Daughter has Imperial Imperial support support us! "
"Yes! The Eighth Prince's medicine has harmed us. If the Imperial Daughter doesn't open the Hundred Herb Hall, our family members can only lie in bed and wait for death! Imperial Daughter, please have pity on us! "
On this side, the citizens continued to plead with Feng Yuheng. This was a habit that the people had developed over a long time. Even if they knew that she was Princess Yu now, they were still willing to call her Imperial Daughter Ji An. They always felt that this made them feel closer.
At the back of the procession, there was a group of people carrying a tall stone statue. A citizen pointed at the stone statue and said to her: "That is the statue of the Medicine King Bodhisattva that we erected. It was built according to Imperial Daughter's appearance. We also built a Medicine King Bodhisattva temple outside the city. We have to go there on the first and fifteenth of every month to pay our respects. Imperial Princess Ji 'an, in our hearts, you are the Medicine King Bodhisattva. The lives of our citizens depend on you! "
The citizens were simple and honest. Even the representatives sent by the wealthy families sincerely hoped that she could make a comeback. Feng Yu Heng was indeed very emotional. Before she went to Ji 'an County, when she learned that the citizens were causing trouble, she still had the mentality of watching the Eighth Prince make a fool of himself. She also wanted to use this opportunity to test the status of her Hundred Herb Hall in the hearts of the citizens.
However, as time passed, her original intention to compete with them had faded. In addition, the Eighth Prince used fake medicine to deceive people. The citizens had indeed suffered greatly. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of reopening Hundred Herb Hall, but reopening it required an opportunity. Back then, she had been forced to close Hundred Herb Hall and caused a huge commotion. Now that she had reopened it, it definitely couldn't be done quietly.
At this time, she saw a group of guards escorting a eunuch over from the other end of the street. Because there were many people, it was difficult to squeeze through. The eunuch continuously spoke good words to the citizens and made it clear that he was speaking on behalf of the citizens. At the same time, he also asked Imperial Daughter Ji 'an to reopen Hundred Herb Hall. Only then was he able to make a small path to Feng Yu Heng.
The eunuch wiped his sweat and quickly bowed to Feng Yu Heng: "This servant kowtows in salute to Royal Consort Yu."
She recognized that this was the young eunuch who served in Heavenly Hall. He usually traveled with Zhang Yuan, so she smiled and asked: "Young eunuch, why did you come to Imperial Palace Yu instead of serving Imperial Father in the palace?"
The young eunuch looked at the people kneeling in front of the palace and helplessly said: "Princess Consort doesn't know, but the citizens who wish to reopen Hundred Herb Hall aren't just the ones in front of the Imperial Palace Yu. There are many more people kneeling in front of the palace gates! When the Emperor heard this, he had this servant come to invite Princess Consort into the palace. Princess Consort, quickly follow this servant into the palace! "
When they heard that the Emperor wanted to invite Princess Ji 'an into the palace, the citizens cheered again. Someone quickly asked: "Does the Emperor also support Imperial Daughter's decision to reopen Hundred Herb Hall?"
"Did the Emperor make the decision and nod his head in agreement?"
The young eunuch turned around and said with a happy expression: "Everyone, don't be in such a rush. The Emperor naturally stands on the side of His Highness Prince Yu and Royal Consort Yu. Hundred Herb Hall has benefited Dashun and the citizens. In the past, even the Emperor benefited from it. Now that Princess Consort has returned to the capital, the Emperor has said that reopening Hundred Herb Hall should be put on the agenda. "After saying this, he turned around and said to Feng Yu Heng:" Princess Consort, the Emperor did indeed say this. "
She nodded. She could somewhat guess what Emperor Tianwu was thinking. When she had insisted on closing it, the old Emperor had probably thought of the same thing as her. He wanted to see just how much of an impact Hundred Herb Hall would have on the citizens of the capital. He also wanted to see how well the Eighth Brother could handle a crisis. Now, what needed to be verified had been verified. There was no point in continuing the deadlock. The citizens' wishes would be granted, and they would be able to gain a good reputation among the citizens.
She said to the young eunuch: "Then I will trouble young eunuch to make a trip to the Sheng Palace. When Hundred Herb Hall was closed, it was not Princess Consort I who had the final say. Now that it has been reopened, I fear that even I am unable to make the decision! Since Father Emperor wants me to enter the palace, I will ask His Highness the Eighth Prince to also enter the palace! " After saying this, she looked at the citizens in front of the palace and said in a more relaxed tone: "Everyone, please rise. Since the Emperor has made the decision, I trust that an explanation will be given to everyone soon. Go home and wait for the news! If you are truly in a rush, you can wait outside the palace, but remember, the imperial palace is an important place. Even if you are outside the palace, you must not cause any trouble. Do you understand? "
The people were all in a rush. How could they be willing to go home and wait. Upon hearing that they could go to the palace, they immediately cheered. After repeatedly promising that they would not cause any trouble, they began to move toward the imperial palace.
When the young eunuch saw that everyone had left, he turned to Feng Yu Heng and said with a smile: "Princess really does have the same thoughts as His Majesty. Before this servant left the palace, His Majesty also ordered for this servant to go to the Sheng Palace first before coming to the Imperial Palace Yu. Right now, His Highness the Eighth Prince should be arriving at the palace's gates."
Feng Yu Heng exchanged a few words with the young eunuch before returning to her room to change her clothes. She then sat in the imperial carriage and followed the young eunuch into the imperial palace. She then stepped through the threshold of Heavenly Hall and saluted Emperor Tianwu. She then saw that the Eighth Prince was already standing to the side with his hands at his side. She then bowed to the other party: "Heng Zheng greets eighth brother."
Xuantian Mo quickly returned the greeting: "I don't dare. Younger sister is too polite."
Tianwu watched the two greet each other and did not say anything, but his ugly expression was clear, especially when Xuantian Mo returned the greeting to Feng Yu Heng. He even snorted. After holding it in for a while, he was unable to hold it in. In the end, he still managed to say: "You should properly apologize to your younger sister! On the first day of the new year, those old bastards are causing trouble. Don't think that we can't see that you are supporting them from behind. Even more, don't think that the people of the world are all idiots! How is it? You haven't even left in the first month. How many times have you been blocked at your gate? "
Xuantian Mo was also flustered by this matter. He was a dignified prince, the dignified Prince Sheng, yet he had been blocked at his gate by the common people. There were so many people! They threw eggs and vegetables, causing the Sheng Palace to be in a terrible state. He could not hit or scold them, and he had to endure Emperor Tianwu's occasional scolding. It was truly depressing.
Today, this matter had been brought up again, and he had been specially called to the palace. Xuantian Mo knew that Feng Yu Heng's Hundred Herb Hall would definitely be reopened. He did not want Emperor Tianwu to bring up this matter. Either way, the result would be the same. It would be better for him to take the initiative to do a favor. Thus, he opened his mouth and said, "Imperial Father's reprimand is extremely correct. However, when the officials caused trouble back then, this son did try to stop them. Unfortunately, those officials were stubborn and obstinate, resulting in unavoidable consequences." He deliberately ignored the fact that he had brought in a Persian doctor and directly pointed out that Feng Yu Heng's medical skills were not clear, which led to the topic of Hundred Herb Hall being closed. Now, he had pushed the blame onto those officials. Either way, they were no longer in court. "Dead" could not be used as evidence. "Reality has proven that those people did not pay their salaries to the court, and they were defeated by the Left and Right Prime Ministers' new questions. This can be considered retribution! Now that younger sister has returned to the capital, son also advocates reopening Hundred Herb Hall to benefit the people of the capital. "
Originally, it had been the people's petition, but now it had become the Eighth Prince's petition with the people. This stance was quite good. Feng Yu Heng pondered. Today, Xuan Tianming had gone to the military camp. Otherwise, they could go into the palace together and see her Eighth Brother's face. This could be considered a diversion.
"Sure enough, eighth brother's words still count in the capital. You said that Heng Heng's medical skills were not obtained through proper means, and one of the officials agreed to have Heng Heng close Hundred Herb Hall. Now you say that you want to benefit the people and have Heng Heng reopen Hundred Herb Hall. Although Heng Heng is a bit confused as to whether what she did was right or wrong, since eighth brother has given the order, then she will reopen it! "
In just a few words, he had said that the reopening of Hundred Herb Hall was due to Xuantian Mo's orders. He also gave him the label of "the capital's eighth brother has the final say." This angered not only Xuantian Mo, but also Emperor Tianwu. The old Emperor suddenly slammed the table — — "Eighth Brother! In this large capital, do you have the final say? "
