The concubine is often fierce, the prince is too difficult to deal with

Chapter 220 The Jinling Affair 3
Just when Rong Jing turned to leave, he suddenly found a small hand clutching his sleeve.

He turned around and saw Qin Muge's reddish eyes.

She shrank into the bed, only revealing a pair of eyes, filled with guilt and anxiety.

"..."

After looking at Rongjing for a while, she still couldn't say a word.

On the contrary, Rong Jing seemed to understand her intention.

The face that was still tense and cold was slightly relaxed.

Rong Jing's big palm wrapped Qin Muge's catkin and kneaded it.

Then he bent down and pressed another kiss on her forehead.

"I'll be right back when I'm done."

Qin Muge nodded cautiously, "Yes."

After Rongjing left, Qin Muge took a bath under the service of the maid and fell asleep.

I was really tired last night, and after taking a medicinal bath, it relieved the fatigue and aches in my body, and Qin Muge slept for another two or three hours after dipping the pillow.

When Qin Muge opened his eyes again, the sky had already darkened slightly.

There was the sound of water pattering outside the house.

The early autumn in Jinling is mostly rainy weather, which looks a little humid.

Another day passed.

After Qin Muge sat up, he realized that the medicinal herbs in Jinling were indeed much better than those in Luoyang.

When she woke up from sleep, she felt refreshed.

I heard that after Immortal Island was opened for business, the trade of medicinal materials to Jinling was the most prosperous.

There are even medicinal material dealers from other countries traveling thousands of miles to Jinling to select precious and high-quality medicinal herbs.

Sure enough, Qin Muge was able to get out of bed and walk around by himself.

Although my legs are still a little sore and numb, I don't know how many times better than in the morning.

When Qin Muge changed into his clothes, he heard someone gently open the door.

"Miss, you are fine!"

Qin Muge had just got up on this side, when there was the sound of Lian Qiao crying and crying.

She turned around happily, and saw that there were still wounds on Lianqiao's pretty face, and she was out of breath from crying.

Qin Muge's eyes turned red, and he also followed Lianqiao's movements, allowing her to hug him.

"Okay, don't cry, I'm fine!"

Forsythia sobbed for a while, and then wiped away her tears.

"Miss, once you leave, I'm worried to death. I don't feel at ease. I think you won't be able to eat or sleep outside alone. If you take me with you, I can still take care of your daily life..."

Listening to Lianqiao's chatter, Qin Muge not only didn't feel impatient, but felt slightly warm in his chest.

"Silly girl!"

After Rong Jing rescued Lian Qiao that day, he directly hired a carriage to take her to the palace to recuperate.

Even though Lianqiao is a maid, living with Qin Muge is several times better than that of a lady from an ordinary family.

Those who don't leave the gate and don't step out, now encountering that incident, are scared out of their wits.

After being sent back, she suffered a serious illness and was arranged by Rongjing to take care of Su Mu.

Today, I managed to get out of bed with great difficulty and regained my vitality. When I heard that my young lady had returned safely, I immediately rushed over desperately.

After the master and servant comforted each other for a while, Qin Muge turned slightly serious.

"In the future, I will never run out alone willfully again, but you are not allowed to do this either."

Lianqiao looked at Qin Muge timidly, and nodded vigorously.

"Princess, in fact, I am here not only to take care of your daily life, but also to have another matter..."

It's just that before Lian Qiao finished speaking, there was a burst of cramped footsteps at the door.

When their master and servant just raised their heads, a colorful figure rushed in like a whirlwind.

"Little Mumu hurry up, something big happened in the study!"

Hua Wuyang's male duck's voice pierced the sky above the bedroom, sternly stimulating the eardrums of the two of them.

Qin Muge frowned, and looked at Hua Wuyang displeasedly, "What's going on, you're surprised?"

However, before she could finish her words, Hua Wuyang, who rushed in hurriedly, grabbed her arm, "Oh, it's a long story, hurry up and follow me!"

"Forsythia over there..."

Qin Muge was listening to Lianqiao's words, and Hua Wuyang was about to drag him away after he had finished speaking, Qin Muge was naturally not happy.

She made a gesture to break Hua Wuyang's hand.

But Hua Wuyang gripped it even tighter, and the anxiety on his face didn't seem fake.

"There is a problem with the prince!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Muge stood up reflexively.

This time, without waiting for Hua Wuyang to reach out to pull her, she hurriedly took a step and rushed out.

However, just as she walked out of the bedroom, she had no choice but to stop.

Looking back at Hua Wuyang, "Where is the study?"

Hua Wuyang rolled his eyes, how could he miss this good opportunity to eat tofu?

He rushed out quickly, grabbed Qin Muge's catkin, and ran towards the study as soon as he grabbed it.

After the two ran to the long corridor of the upper study room, their footsteps subconsciously slowed down.

Because at the door of the study, about five or six officials in court uniforms knelt at the door in unison.

The pattering rain fell around them, splashing the water.

Among those few officials, there were two or three gray-haired ones, who had been kneeling for an unknown amount of time, and they were already a little shaky.

Without exception, all of them were drenched by the rain.

"what happened?"

Qin Muge looked at Hua Wuyang suspiciously.

Hua Wuyang pursed her lips, but couldn't speak directly.

He just pulled Qin Muge and walked towards the study with his head buried.

Perhaps it was the movement of the two of them that alarmed the officials who knelt down and bowed their heads. One by one, they raised their heads and cast their eyes on them.

His eyes drifted away for a while, and finally fell on Qin Muge.

However, Qin Muge couldn't stand those eyes.

Because their eyes were not friendly, on the contrary, they seemed to have some inexplicable hostility.

Qin Muge was at a loss, she had just arrived in Jinling.

Moreover, how could this group of officials in Jinling be offended just by sleeping?
Just when Hua Wuyang wanted to lead Qin Muge into the study, Su Mu stopped him.

Hua Wuyang widened his eyes, "Why didn't you let us in?"

Su Mu frowned and looked at Qin Muge beside him, then pointed at her, "It's not that I won't let you in, it's that I won't let her in!"

When Qin Muge heard this, he was even more confused.

"Su Mu, why?"

Su Mu pursed his lips, and brought the two of them to the side hall outside the study, "If you listen to me tell the whole story, you still want to go in, please go!"

After Su Mu's explanation, Qin Muge finally understood.

Because Rong Jing put aside the affairs in hand in the past two days and focused on looking for Qin Muge, it was impossible to make a conclusion on a large number of affairs in the past few days.

The streets in a radius of ten miles around the palace belong to high ground, so the flood did not affect this place.

But if you go to the suburbs, you will find that floods have become difficult.

Many victims were displaced.

The most serious thing is that many medicinal herbs originally stored in Jinling have been washed away by the flood.

Some that didn't wash away were damaged by being soaked in water.

Today, large quantities of medicinal materials are sent from Jinling to other provinces.

But now Jinling is in a predicament, let alone other places.

At this critical juncture, the Fang family, the head of the five major families in Jinling, conveyed a message through the governor of Jinling.

They expressed their willingness to donate hundreds of thousands of tons of medicinal materials in stock to the imperial court free of charge.

However, they have one condition...

Qin Muge frowned, "What's their condition?"

Su Mu glanced at Qin Muge, and continued after pondering for a while.

"They proposed in a roundabout way that they want the eldest daughter of the Fang family to be the leader of this donation, and participate in the arrangement and coordination of the disaster relief together with the prince, as well as the distribution of medicinal materials."

"Miss Fang?"

Qin Muge frowned.

If it is just to give up a distribution right, it will definitely not embarrass Rongjing.

"Su Mu, haven't you finished your sentence yet?"

Facing Qin Muge's sharp analysis plan, Su Mu was slightly taken aback.

But after a while, he still said.

"A woman's reputation is the most important thing. The young lady of the Fang family handles affairs side by side with the prince. It is inevitable that they will meet each other, and it is even more unavoidable to appear in front of everyone. After the disaster is over, whether it is Jinling or the surrounding ten provinces, there will be rumors that the Fang family's eldest daughter The rumors between the lady and the prince. If the reputation of the woman is damaged, then the only choice for the prince is..."

"Marry her?"

Qin Muge said these words without hesitation for a moment.

Su Mu's expression froze, and he nodded slightly,

"Then we can pay for their medicinal materials, or go directly to Undead Island!"

With a shrill voice, Hua Wuyang made a proposal filled with righteous indignation.

Su Mu gave him a cold look.

"You think you can think of it, the prince can't think of it? The Immortal Island relies on the seasonal exchange of medicinal herbs during the tide. The last exchange has just been less than a month, let alone the tide cannot send us to the Undead Island, even if it is true Lucky to go in, and there are not so many medicinal materials. Those medicinal materials need a season of growth!"

After a pause, Su Mu continued.

"Let's talk about funding. The imperial court naturally has that money. But as the largest medicine merchant in Jinling, the Fang family has a certain prestige in Jinling, Nanling, and even the entire Tiangan. If it comes hard, the imperial court will inevitably It was true. Moreover, after the prince was furious, the Fang family also spoke harshly. They said that if the prince disagreed, even if all the medicinal herbs of the Fang family were burned, they would not be left to the court!"

"Damn! It's so deceiving!"

Hua Wuyang was furious, and the male duck's voice almost broke.

"Then what should we do, should we just sit and wait for death?"

Hua Wuyang said displeasedly, "You must know that this time the superior gave the prince a death order, if it is not handled properly, there may be a catastrophe."

Su Mu took a deep look at the thoughtful Qin Muge, and then turned his head to look outside at the kneeling ministers who were almost fainting.

"Those officials took it for granted that the Fang family could not expect the prince to give the young lady of the Fang family the title of concubine. However, the title of side concubine and wife is also empty. I heard that the young lady of the Fang family gave birth to She is as beautiful as a fairy, and full of talent. She is a gentle and elegant lady. Even if the prince really doesn't like it, he just needs to give her a name and hang it at home. Why do you have to refuse so stubbornly?"

"That's why they kept kneeling outside, hoping that the prince would agree to the Fang family's request?"

Qin Muge finally spoke.

However, there was a hint of coldness in those words.

"That's right, now Baling is discussing other matters with the prince in the study, and the door is closed to see no visitors. If the princess still insists on going in at this moment, Su Mu will not stop her."
