The ones who refined the pills for the Emperor were Prince Qi's martial brothers. Now that there was a problem with the pills, they and Prince Qi's faction immediately became a thorn in the Emperor's side. What's more, Li Yufeng had shown the Emperor his ability in just a few days. The Emperor no longer had any taboos about his successor, so he couldn't tolerate these people.
Of course, eradicating a massive faction was not something that could be accomplished in a single day. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the Emperor did not reveal anything. He treated the Noble Consort, King Qi, and the others as usual, only beginning to move in private. However, this had nothing to do with Chu Xiang. Her goal had been achieved. That Daoist temple, Prince Qi, and the Third Prince wouldn't have a good end. She didn't need to personally take action. How good was that?
Chu Xiang threw the matter to Li Yufeng and returned to town. Bai Yi was still hurt and needed her comfort. In fact, she didn't comfort Bai Yi. She just accompanied Bai Yi or took Bai Yi to see a patient. She didn't mention Zhuang Yulang.
After a busy day, Chu Xiang took Bai Yi to the fields to plant. Bai Yi learned how to turn the soil, dig holes, plant vegetables, and fertilize. She asked doubtfully, "Jiejie, when did you learn?"
Chu Xiang patted the soil off her hands and shook her head, "I forgot. Anyway, I learned how to do it."
Bai Yi picked up a handful of soil and watched the soil slowly fall from her fingers. She whispered, "Sometimes I really admire you. You can do anything, you can solve anything, and you are always so happy. Your life is too wonderful. Compared to you, my life is dim and full of depression. "
Chu Xiang squatted down in front of her, "Then have you ever thought about why there is such a big difference between us? Didn't you choose to live your life like this? You have to choose your own path. If you don't want to go, can't you just change the path? "
Bai Yi lowered her head and sighed, "Change the path, I'm changing. It's very uncomfortable, more uncomfortable than being seriously injured. "
"So what? It will always pass. " Chu Xiang pointed to the fields in the distance. "You haven't done this before. You haven't even seen how farmers work. You haven't seen how the embroiderers embroider, how the county magistrate deals with cases, how the villagers quarrel, and how the soldiers fight. There are too many things in this world that you haven't seen yet. Why don't you go and take a look? Instead of wasting your energy on someone who isn't worth it, why don't you spend it on yourself? Look at the world more, and you'll find that it's easy to be happy. "
Bai Yi showed a faint smile, "Elder sister, you can always make everything sound so simple. When I found out that Zhuang Yulang wanted to kill me, I really felt like my world was about to collapse. But when I'm with you … it doesn't matter even if it collapses. "
"That's right. There's nothing in this world that can't be solved." Chu Xiang patted Bai Yi's head, her voice still carrying a soothing power. "You just need to choose another path to take. If it's difficult, find a way to overcome it. If you can't overcome it, change to another path. Sister has always been here. "
Bai Yi looked at Chu Xiang for a while and hugged her tightly. "Elder sister, it's so good to have you."
Chu Xiang's existence made Bai Yi unable to attach too much importance to Zhuang Yulang, her "benefactor". Compared with the "benefactor" who saved her life casually, Chu Xiang's kindness was something that she could never repay in her life. Chu Xiang never needed her to do anything, as long as she lived well and didn't let herself down.
Compared with Zhuang Yulang's infinite demands, this was obviously a more noble and cherished kindness. Perhaps the real benefactor who should be remembered was like this. As for Zhuang Yulang, it was just a kindness that was repaid. There was no need to remember it.
A half-hearted man who wanted to marry Bai Yi was not worth her sadness. She was sad about her lost feelings, but in the face of those patients who were still suffering from the plague, this sadness seemed to be diluted. She remembered the flood in the south, the cries and corpses there, and Bai You's silent sigh when he carried people on his back. She still had many things to do.
Bai Yi did not stay for long. She bid farewell to Chu Xiang and used her fastest speed to rush to the south. She simply told Bai You that everything was over. Then, she and Bai You immediately went to save people, catch corrupt officials, and exercise their power as imperial envoys.
Chu Xiang was not idle. Although she had many methods, it was not easy to cure the patients of the plague. It required time and energy. She could not make any mistakes in any aspect. She had to personally watch and check the situation from time to time.
The Prince of Qi had already found out that Bai Yi was a yao, but Li Yufeng was one step ahead of him and let Chu Xiang's shops surface. Together with Bai Yi's shops, they became models for disaster relief. He, Bai You, and Bai Yi could quickly pass on information. He also announced how many people Bai Yi had saved in the flood area and how many people Chu Xiang's shops had saved.
Including the corrupt officials that Bai You had caught, two of them were clearly the Prince of Qi's subordinates!
At this time, the Prince of Qi's people came out that Bai Yi was a yao. Li Yufeng did not explain. He only laughed in front of the civil and military officials. "Such sentimental and righteous yao, the more the better."
The civil and military officials had different interpretations of his words. Some felt that he was mocking the Prince of Qi, mocking the people under the Prince of Qi for being greedy and daring to swallow the disaster relief funds, harm the people, and have the nerve to slander the disaster relief as yao.
Some felt that he was sighing. If yao with spells were willing to help with disaster relief, then naturally, the more the better. They could save more people than normal people like them.
Some felt that he was hinting that the people suspected of being yao were working so hard to provide disaster relief. What reason did they, the civil and military officials, have not to provide disaster relief?
Li Yufeng did not say another word. He did not even acknowledge the Prince of Qi's provocation. What could the Prince of Qi do? He could only insist on being cautious in everything. He had to send Daoists to capture Bai Yi. But Bai Yi was a very good doctor. She had saved many patients in the capital. She also gave porridge and gave clothes. She often did good deeds. Her reputation was very good.
Now, the Prince of Qi's subordinates had delayed the Imperial Court, delayed disaster relief, and wanted to capture Bai Yi. Then who would provide disaster relief? Send others? Did they save as many people as Bai Yi? If they did not, then shouldn't the disaster be the most important thing right now? The Prince of Qi seemed to ignore the disaster victims in order to deal with Li Yufeng. The officials could not agree with him.
In the end, the Emperor ordered that this matter be investigated after the disaster was over. Right now, they had to do their best to provide disaster relief. They could not create new problems.
The Prince of Qi wanted to use Chu Xiang's past to cause trouble, but he was blocked by Li Yufeng. He casually made up a remote location. If he had the ability, then go investigate. By the time he came back with real evidence, it would be too late.
Bai Yi was not here. No matter how many monks and Daoists there were in the capital, they could not make her appear to prove that she was a yao. Chu Xiang was trapped in the town where the plague was serious. It was inappropriate for the Prince of Qi to say anything against Chu Xiang. For a moment, he had no way to make a fuss about the yao, so he could only accept the suffering he had suffered.
Li Yufeng did not give him a chance to ponder. Wave after wave of powerful attacks were launched, causing the Prince of Qi's faction, who had not understood his power, to be thrown into confusion. They struggled to cope, unable to spare any energy to deal with the yao. The officials treated these words as a joke. In their impression, demons would not do their utmost to save people and provide disaster relief. At the very least, they had never heard of such a thing and did not believe it.
Li Yufeng smoothly won the time difference and cleverly suppressed the matter of the 'yao'. Soon after, he had the people from the Bureau of Rites and the Bureau of Works cooperate with him and Chu Xiang to find potatoes and other materials to create new weapons. Of course, outsiders could only do some supporting work. The important work was still done by their own people. He did this to let everyone know that this merit belonged to Chu Xiang.
He also truthfully reported this matter to the Emperor. The Emperor had never seen those crops and weapons, but after hearing Li Yufeng describe them so well, he only felt that they were probably things that could only be found in the yao world. Did Chu Xiang bring them out because of their close relationship?
The Emperor was skeptical about this matter, but there was no harm in trying it out if it was beneficial to the country. If it succeeded, then this thousand-year-old fox demon helping his son manage the country would be a great blessing for the country!
With the Emperor's support, Li Yufeng's work became smoother and smoother. He moved too much and caused too much of a commotion. The Prince of Qi's faction wanted to probe the situation, find ways to deal with him, and find ways to prevent him from gaining merit. It was becoming more and more difficult to deal with. The number of people he needed to use also increased. As the prospective son-in-law of the Jiang Clan, Zhuang Yulang was recommended to the Prince of Qi by the Jiang Clan's second son.
Zhuang Yulang had taken the Snow Lotus Pill, so he learned everything quickly and could easily understand what others taught him. The only thing he lacked was the vision and knowledge brought by his family background. But in the end, he was still a person worth nurturing.
However, he used to share a room with Li Yufeng, and that Bai Yi was even his fiancée!
The Prince of Qi ordered people to sound him out and deliberately mentioned him in front of Li Yufeng to test Li Yufeng's attitude. He found that Zhuang Yulang didn't know anything and Li Yufeng didn't care about him at all. He felt baffled and couldn't figure out the relationship between Zhuang Yulang and these people. Thus, he temporarily kept Zhuang Yulang and wanted to see if there was any breakthrough on him.
This made the Jiang Clan misunderstand. They thought that the Prince of Qi valued Zhuang Yulang and couldn't wait to arrange a marriage between Miss Jiang and Zhuang Yulang. Everyone knew that the Emperor was seriously ill. If the Emperor passed away, then the whole country would mourn and there wouldn't be a wedding.
Miss Jiang was anxious to marry Zhuang Yulang and settle down. If Zhuang Yulang lost his shop, he would have no money. He was also anxious to marry Miss Jiang and gain the support of the Jiang Clan. Besides, he still needed the support of the Jiang Clan to show his face in front of the Prince of Qi. Both sides hit it off and hurriedly got married. They even said that it wasn't good to be extravagant and wasteful in the face of the disaster and that everything should be simple.
No one paid attention to their actions. Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng didn't send people to keep an eye on them. Ever since Bai Yi gave up on Zhuang Yulang, Zhuang Yulang was nothing to them. He wasn't worthy of their attention.
Chu Xiang, on the other hand, completely cured the plague in the town during this time. The two imperial physicians and the ten doctors basically didn't do anything. They were all her assistants. In these days, other than the plague, there were other people who suffered from other diseases. Some of them were light, some were serious, and some were very critical. In front of Chu Xiang, they were all cured with medicine and were very simple.
The doctors were full of admiration for Chu Xiang's medical skills. They acted like apprentices and didn't complain. Each of them had a better attitude than the other and followed by her side to learn. At the same time, they also recognized this Princess Consort of the Free and Unfettered King from the bottom of their hearts. Just like how all the villagers in the town called her, she was the "Fairy Empress" who saved people from suffering!
The twelve doctors took turns to take the pulse of all the villagers. When they announced that the plague had completely disappeared, the villagers were so excited that they cried. They hugged each other in twos and threes, venting their fear and despair during this time, as well as the joy of surviving a disaster.
On this day, Li Yufeng rode a white horse and personally came to pick up Chu Xiang. He ordered people to remove the boulders blocking the road. When he saw Chu Xiang's figure, he immediately dismounted and strode over to hold Chu Xiang's hand.
Accompanying him were officials from the Ministry of Rites, imperial bodyguards, and Li Yufeng's trusted aides. They were first stunned by Chu Xiang's beauty and then shocked by Li Yufeng's attitude. This attitude clearly showed how high Chu Xiang's position was in Li Yufeng's heart. She was a person that absolutely could not be offended. Chu Xiang's image in everyone's hearts instantly rose to the highest point.
Li Yufeng examined Chu Xiang from head to toe. Seeing that she was fine, he was relieved, "I've come to pick you up. Fuhuang has always been thinking about you. Shall we enter the palace?"
"Alright. It's a bit tiring. I'll listen to your arrangements when we get back. "Chu Xiang smiled at him. She planned to give herself a vacation and properly enjoy the life of the palace.
Li Yufeng felt that Chu Xiang seemed to be treating him better and better. At least, she didn't treat him as a "white face" like before. Cough cough, did this count as him successfully ascending the throne?
He led Chu Xiang back to the horse. The people from the Ministry of Rites hurried forward to invite Chu Xiang onto the carriage behind them. Li Yufeng waved his hand, "Wang Fei has stopped this plague. This merit is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. Not only are the people here grateful, the people of Jing are also grateful. They all want to have a chance to see the benevolent fairy niang niang. Today, Wang Fei will ride back to Jing with me and let everyone see Wang Fei's grace. "
"Yes, wang ye." The people from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly directed the carriage to make way. They had someone bring a good horse over for Chu Xiang to ride.
Chu Xiang knew that Li Yufeng was creating momentum for her in order to prepare for her identity to be exposed in the future. With a light laugh, she nimbly mounted the horse. This move shocked everyone again. Was this wang fei not only skilled in medicine, she was also a martial artist?
There were some well-informed people who knew that Chu Xiang knew how to catch demons and exorcise ghosts. They felt that Chu Xiang really had a lot of skill and didn't look like a normal person.
When Chu Xiang was about to leave, everyone in the village gathered at the village entrance. Under the lead of the village head, they all kneeled down and kowtowed three times, "Thank you fairy niang niang for saving our lives! Thank you fairy niang for saving our lives! Thank you fairy niang for saving our lives! "
Many people had tears streaming down their faces as their faces were filled with gratitude. These words of thanks were loud enough to move everyone present. Looking at Chu Xiang again, she was sitting on the horse with a faint smile. She waved her hand and turned to leave. That free and easy back figure was imprinted in everyone's hearts. Without knowing why, they couldn't help but feel a sense of worship and respect.
The citizens of the capital had already received the news that the first fairy to cure the plague was coming back to the capital. Everyone put down what they were doing and came out to the streets. Even the second floor windows of the hotels and teahouses were filled with people, all wanting to see what this fairy niang looked like. It wasn't as lively as it was during the new year, so everyone was very excited.
The moment Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng entered the city, cheers began to ring out. Not only were the citizens happy shouts, but they were also shocked by Chu Xiang's beauty that could topple a country. The title of "fairy niang niang", Chu Xiang was definitely worthy of it.
They had never seen such a beautiful woman before, nor had they ever seen such a strong aura, a woman that looked so noble. This was the Princess Consort of the Unfettered King, the Rao Fairy who cured the plague and saved the entire town. She was also a legendary woman that could become the next empress.
Countless halos were added to Chu Xiang's body, but none of them were as shocking as seeing her with his own eyes. Not only was she a thousand-year-old fox demon, she was also a ten-thousand-year-old demonic cultivator. She was also Chu Xiang, who had experienced countless worlds and countless lives. Her aura was unattainable. Riding on her white horse, she didn't need to do anything to attract people's gazes. Even if the Carefree King was by her side, he would not be able to steal even the slightest bit of her glory.
It was unknown who started to shout, but each shout louder than the last, "Long live Her Highness the Fairy!" spread along the streets of the capital, spreading far and wide …
