Chapter 468 The rumbling wind
Qin Xubai's infection was just the beginning. People in the palace were infected one after another, including the concubines in the harem and even Emperor Qinglong.
Everyone in the capital was in danger, but no matter how they protected themselves, many people were still infected every day, and the entire capital was shrouded in an atmosphere of anxiety and fear.
"We must find someone to test the drug. We can't delay any longer."
However, no one had expected that the plague had spread to this extent in just a few days.
Ye Xuanke said firmly: "Then use me to try!"
Ye Xuanqi rejected it immediately: "No, the capital is in a critical situation now, you must ensure the safety of the capital."
"So I'll try the medicine."
How could Ye Xuanke let him try? He was the crown prince of the Jin'an Dynasty. If anything went wrong, it would affect the country.
Just when the few people were in a stalemate, a clear voice rang out: "Stop arguing, just use me to test the medicine!"
Ye Xuanling wore the mask distributed by Song Yunxi and stayed away from the crowd, but he could not hide his fatigue and haggardness.
He coughed a few times and said, "I just happened to be infected. It's perfect to use me to test the medicine."
He doesn't know how to do anything else except making money, and now he has this opportunity, he will take it as a way to atone for his sins in his previous life.
There's no reason why he would lose to his second brother.
Ye Xuanling's situation is more dangerous, and even Concubine Tong is not optimistic. It is natural that he would test the medicine on himself for Concubine Tong.
Song Yunxi did not agree immediately: "The results of the drug trial may be counterproductive. Have you thought about it?"
Ye Xuanling nodded firmly: "I have thought about it, and I believe in the Imperial Master."
His mother's condition was already very bad, and he had to make her recover as soon as possible. This was what he owed her in his previous life.
In the end, at Ye Xuanling's insistence, he was used to test the medicine.
Theoretically, the prescription prescribed by Song Wentian must be effective, but after Ye Xuanling took it, he developed a high fever and fell into a coma, and the fever did not subside. The situation looked extremely dangerous.
Ye Xuan Ke was a little anxious: "Is everything going to be alright?"
Song Wentian had been observing Ye Xuanling's situation: "Wait a little longer."
No one knows whether the prescription is effective or not, and Song Wentian himself is not sure.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Ye Xuanling's high fever gradually subsided and he woke up from his coma.
But after three days of high fever, he looked like he had been fished out of the water, and his hair was all soaked with sweat.
"Great, it seems there is nothing wrong with Dad's prescription."
Song Yunxi was very happy. Song Wentian adjusted the prescription according to Ye Xuanling's condition over the past three days and immediately ordered people to boil the medicine.
The plague in the palace soon subsided and the capital city regained its vitality, but Song Wentian was not happy at all.
"Xu Bai, what do you think about this matter?"
Qin Xubai, who had just recovered, told his thoughts truthfully: "This plague came suddenly, and it was quelled too smoothly."
It seems as if someone is using the plague to buy time.
Song Wentian naturally felt the same way. He also felt that everything was taken for granted.
Who said no?
Now that everyone around him had recovered, Song Yunxi finally had the mind to think about other things.
The entire capital city has been like a deserted city these days. Although Ye Xuan Ke leads his troops to patrol every day, Song Yunxi still feels that it is easy to do something in the capital city these days.
But Ye Xuan Ke also said that there was nothing unusual happening in the city.
Everything went smoothly afterwards. After Tang Yuan used the prescription that Song Yunxi had sent him, the plague outside the capital was quickly quelled.
The only difference was Emperor Qinglong. He was in a coma longer than anyone else. After he woke up, his temperament changed drastically. His previously gentle character became sinister and terrifying. He was even more arbitrary and domineering in the court and would not listen to any opinions.
Although the other three surrounding countries have been weakened after a series of suppression, it is not easy to take them down in one fell swoop.
But now he actually ordered Ye Xuanqi to lead his troops to fight, and cooperate with General Dingguo to attack Xidi within three months.
He even sent military supervisors to Northern Chu and Southern Yue with imperial edicts, ordering Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting of Northern Chu and Fang Yichen of Southern Yue to destroy their countries within three months.
absurd!
Even the court officials who usually disagreed with Ye Xuanqi's political views felt that these edicts of Emperor Qinglong were ridiculous and were simply child's play.
Imperial Tutor Zhu and Prime Minister An were reprimanded by Emperor Qinglong for their strong opposition, and were even dismissed from their posts and ordered to reflect on their mistakes in seclusion.
General Zhenyuan and General Pingnan were not spared either. They were even accused by Emperor Qinglong of having rebellious intentions and were thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
The entire court was in a state of panic, fearing that one careless mistake would result in the loss of office or even one's head.
Everyone placed their hopes on Song Wentian, as only Song Wentian could stop Emperor Qinglong's madness.
However, Emperor Qinglong, who had always obeyed Song Wentian's orders, changed his behavior and harshly rebuked Song Wentian, even questioning whether Sheng Yunshan wanted to replace him and take over the world.
Song Wentian was also extremely angry and left that day.
What shocked everyone even more was that Emperor Qinglong actually issued an imperial decree to depose the crown prince, and even imprisoned the deposed crown prince, forbidding anyone to visit him.
After this series of operations, Emperor Qinglong firmly grasped all power in his own hands.
Imperial Prefecture.
Song Yunxi pulled Ye Xuanke, who was pacing back and forth, to sit down and said, "Stop swaying. It makes me dizzy."
It's even more of a headache.
Ye Xuanke jumped up from his chair anxiously: "What's going on now? How can you still sit still?"
"if not?"
Song Yunxi said calmly: "You want me to kill him, and then have my entire family executed?"
Ye Xuanke: “…”
After pursing his lips and thinking for a long time, he carefully asked Song Yunxi: "Have you seen it? Is father possessed by some evil spirit? Or is he controlled by some kind of Gu?"
Song Yunxi raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of teasing: "Do you think he will let me get close to him in this situation?"
Ye Xuanke: “…”
He just couldn't understand how such a drastic change could have occurred after being in a coma for a few days?
He even suspected at one point that the person in the palace was not his father.
Song Yunxi looked at Qin Xubai: "Brother, what should we do next?"
Qin Xubai said indifferently, "I have sent a letter to Zi Che and Yan Ting. You don't have to obey the imperial decree. Just stay put and wait for my news."
"As for Xidi, General Dingguo will definitely understand what to do after receiving the news that the crown prince has been deposed."
"There's no need to worry about South Vietnam. I have always kept in touch with the Third Prince of South Vietnam, and Major General Fang and he have a tacit understanding. Nothing will happen."
Song Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the situation at the border was stabilized, they would have won. After all, the military power was in their hands.
