One morning after waking up from a dream, Wen Xiu was combing Ti Zhen's makeup and hair when he heard shouts from outside. After a while, Wen Yuan came in and called, "Girl, it's the second girl outside."

Ti Zhen said seriously and closed her eyes, "Ask her to come in."

She turned around and found a seat to sit down. Almost as soon as she sat down, Yu Yao staggered into the room and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Big sister! Please... please save Jiang Wencai!"

Ti Zhen curled his lips in disdain, stuffed the silk into the twisted white jade bracelet on his wrist, and looked at the girl in front of him, not knowing whether he was angry or chilled.

Although she was at home, the rumors in her ears never stopped. All the sequelae caused by Jiang Wencai's prescription were so violent that it caused quite a stir in the capital. Many people died because his prescription was too strong. The death was actually more tragic than Xu Tuzhi's before.

With good consequences, people will naturally receive admiration and support.Bad consequences will naturally lead to resentment and hatred.

Of course, the imperial doctors were unwilling to bear the consequences, so Jiang Wencai, who handed them the prescription, was the only scapegoat for the emperor to vent his anger.

Therefore, yesterday, the palace issued an order to arrest the culprit Jiang Wencai and hand him over to Zuo Fengyi for detention and trial.

Yuyao, who had no need for anything at the moment, naturally thought that her sister, Princess Qin, had a close relationship with Zuo Fengyi and Gaoqi, so she rushed over happily as soon as the day broke.

I saw Yuyao grabbing her skirt with tears streaming down her face, "Sister, only you can save him now. I know you have the best relationship with Brother Zhou. Zuo Fengyi was Brother Zhou's former subordinate. As long as you are willing Please beg for mercy, Zuo Fengyi will definitely be merciful!"

Seeing that Ti Zhen remained silent, he urgently urged: "Sister! I beg you!"

Ti Zhen stroked the smooth jade handle, smiled slightly, and said lazily, "If you have something to do, there is no beauty, and if you have nothing to do, summer welcomes spring. In the past, you were not even willing to visit the palace, but now it is rare to come over again and again. If it is true, It would be great to come and see my sister..."

Yuyao was so ashamed that she lowered her head deeply, tears falling one by one, "Sister, I have never asked you for anything, just this once... just once, okay?"

She choked, "Besides, Wen Cai is really innocent this time. He just did something wrong because of the plague because of his good intentions. He didn't mean it."

"Did he really not do it on purpose?" She simply threw a pearl flower in front of Yuyao and said condescendingly: "You know best what he did!"

"Yu Yao," she called her name, "Anyone can plot against me, but you are the only one...it really chills me!"

It was originally a gift given to Yuyao and Yuhuan by Ti Zhen on their wedding day, and it was carefully selected by her.

At that time, the wind was blowing, and the fallen flowers were blowing in colorful colors, as red as rain. A few fallen flowers fell on the corners of the clothes and skirts, and even fell on the clothes on Yuyao's shoulders, trembling slightly.

"You know it all?"

"Of course I know. If I didn't know, how do you think you could have escaped the spy and successfully stole Wu Binsheng's prescription?!"

Ti Zhen paused and turned his eyes to glare at her sternly.

"Or do you think that everyone is a fool? How could Jiang Wencai, a wine seller and a lackey, develop a prescription to treat the plague? What's more, his hometown is Lishan. When has the plague ever happened there? How could he have an ancestral prescription for the disease? Where is your son?"

"Wu Binsheng didn't perfect that prescription, otherwise how could it be stolen by you?"

At this point, Yuyao was dumbfounded.

What a profound calculation!It turns out that they all dreamed of success and established a successful career, but someone else's knife was already placed on their necks.

Yuyao held his hands and said fiercely with tears in his eyes: "So all this... all these results are all set by you?"

Ti Zhen looked at her very indifferently, "This is indeed a situation, but whether you join or not is entirely up to you. Wasn't the beginning of this incident created by you?"

She asked in a low voice: "So why are you so angry and questioning me? If you didn't have selfish motives and wanted to achieve success in one step, how could you have the results you have now! It's not just your selfishness, but also his greed."

Yuyao fell silent, and like a rising tide, the flush of despair gradually rose.

Ti Zhen said: "Although Wu Binsheng's prescription is not perfect, the main medicinal materials are actually correct. If Jiang Wencai hadn't been eager for quick success and quick success in order to cut costs, he replaced the rhino horn powder with Imperata root and replaced it with the cheaper Glauber's salt." How could Hesheng Rehmannia and Rehmannia glutinosa and add a large amount of effect medicine cause this result?"

"In this process, he was so irresponsible. Did he ever regard human life as human life? Did he ever think that he would destroy other people's lives!?"

Ti Zhen smiled nervously, "We have reached this point in seeking power and profit. Do you really think that a person who is not even responsible for his own actions will be responsible to you to the end?"

Yuyao's heart skipped a beat, and he stood upright, looking so confused.

"Follow me." Ti Zhen said, stood up, took her hand and left.

He walked quickly, dragging people along the long corridor, and the wind fluttered the corners of his cloak, like a child's naughty hands twirling there.

After a while, Yang Zu called a carriage and the two of them got in together.Yuyao didn't know where Ti Zhen was taking her. The road was very long, and after walking for a long time, she still didn't get to where she wanted to go.Slowly paying attention to the surrounding scenery, it became more and more dilapidated and scrawled. As we walked, there was even a sour smell of vomit, mixed with the aroma of herbs and rotten meat, which was very offensive to the nose.

Yuyao unconsciously took a breath of air. It wasn't until she saw King Qin and Brother-in-law Gu patrolling that she realized that this was a disaster relief area in the city!

Those who were tortured by the disease were either wailing and shouting, or curled up on the ground and dying, and the corpses were being pushed back and forth one after another. The kind of miserable and unyielding sight was so terrifying that it made people's hearts tremble.

Ti Zhen raised his chin, "Did you see it?"

Yuyao's side face looked pale due to the heavy snow-white makeup. She was stunned and couldn't speak.

There was no expression on Ti Zhen's face, and he just watched with cold eyes, "These people would not have died or become so sick, but they are what they are today, thanks to Jiang Wencai."

She turned her face and said, "Just now you said that Jiang Wencai is innocent, so why aren't these people innocent? But Jiang Wencai still has you to intercede, what about them? They are ordinary people and have nothing to do with the officialdom. Who can intercede for them? Many times If you die in vain, no one cares about you."

She raised her hand and looked out the window, "Yu Yao, do you know how many days your Highness and Brother-in-law Gu have not slept during this plague? Do you know that Wu Binsheng stayed up all night researching the prescription and nearly collapsed from exhaustion after several attempts?"

She groaned, "Now you are facing them, these people, do you still want to say that Jiang Wencai is really innocent?"

"People's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants, and they often want to be rich and prosperous, which is often like killing themselves."

"Perhaps you have good intentions. You want him to make meritorious deeds, and you want us to value him and think highly of him. But Yuyao... plagiarized other people's works. It was your fault from the beginning."

I don’t want Yuyao to have enough energy and salt anymore, and everything he says is in vain.

"But sister... I really can't bear for him to be discouraged. I know that he has a hard life and it's difficult for him. If he were like Your Highness, he wouldn't do this for career or fame!"

Ti Zhen nodded undeniably, "Yes, His Highness was born different, but has his journey really been smooth sailing?"

"He has been a prince, lived in a dungeon, was forced into exile, and was hunted down. Even now, he is living on thin ice. If he makes a mistake, he will be doomed. How can you say it was so easy?"

He then solemnly said: "Brother-in-law Gu, Gu Chang, must have come from a miserable background. His hometown was hit by a disaster, and his family was destroyed. He fled all the way to Longxi. When he was destitute, he begged on the streets. He didn't even have a place to live in the winter. , in terms of tragedy...who is more miserable, Jiang Wencai or him?"

Ti Zhen raised his hand to support her shoulders, "But the reason why he can win people's respect and win your sister Xianyu's love is never because of poor performance, but because of his character and down-to-earth talents!"

At this point, she couldn't help but sneer, "Originally, he could have contributed to the disaster relief, setting up a few tents, or donating some rice and grain, which are all good, but in order to get it done overnight, he went a step further and caused people to die. This road is in vain. It’s just off track.”

Yuyao lowered his head, his eyes were slightly red, and he asked awkwardly: "Then how will Zuo Fengyi punish literary talents?"

Ti Zhen narrowed his eyes in disgust, "Disturbing disaster relief and causing innocent people to die in vain should be punished!"

He added: "This does not include his plagiarizing prescriptions."

If Yuyao was shocked by electric shock, it started, but the end was already finished... She staggered back, "Does it mean that he must die?"

With her brain numb and her tongue aching, she tried to get close to her, "I am also involved in this matter. Even if he dies, I will die with him."

Unconsciously, he lowered his body and begged, "I beg you, you can punish him however you want. Please be lenient and spare his life!"

Ti Zhen frowned but said nothing.

"Sister!" Yuyao stared at her and said softly: "This is the last time I beg you! Spare his life. As long as you are willing to let him go, I..."

As she spoke, she suddenly raised three fingers on her right hand. The gold bracelets on her wrists collided with each other and made a crisp sound. She said with a bit of sternness and sadness: "As long as you spare his life, I will never follow him again." He’s in contact! Is that okay, sister?!”

The chilling wind whizzed away from my ears, and the leaves that had been knocked down by the rain were rolled up involuntarily in the dust.

Ti Zhen felt regretful that it had reached a point where people who were connected to her were still interceding for outsiders, but did not appreciate her painstaking efforts.

What a failure, she treated this sister leniently, but she didn't understand her.

Yuyao looked haggard rapidly, "Sister... please, I really beg you... otherwise I won't live." She was so lost that she managed to hold on to the leg of the person in front of her after two attempts.

A trace of disappointment and helplessness flashed across Ti Zhen's eyes. She thought about her parents who died young, and finally raised her hand to gently brush away the thin dust on her shoulders.

"You'd better remember what you said today. If there is a next time, Jiang Wencai will definitely die if you don't say it, and you will no longer be the daughter of the Shi family!"
