Chapter 215 Promise
Fulfilling the Promise When the end of summer was coming to an end, Huo Qiqi encountered another bad thing.

"The grassroots have met the emperor." Huo Qiqi was announced into the palace by the emperor early in the morning.

Along the way, she thought of many possibilities, but she still couldn't figure out why the emperor asked her to enter the palace.

"Sit down, Qiqi." The emperor smiled kindly.

The Huguogong and Li Yuanbai were also there. The Huguogong's expression was very bad, and there was a bit of hostility towards Li Yuanbai in his eyes, but Li Yuanbai's expression was very pale, making it difficult to see what he was thinking at the moment.

Stretching out his hand without hitting the smiling face, showing courteousness for nothing, either adultery or robbery, Huo Qiqi immediately became vigilant.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huo Qiqi thanked her and sat on a stool.

"Your Majesty, Qiqi is not a doctor. There is a plague in Nanping, and she has nothing to do in the past. I implore the Emperor, let her stay in the capital." The Duke Huguo spoke first with a mournful face.

Huo Qiqi understood at once, and indeed the emperor had no good intentions for her.

She had also heard about the floods and plagues in Nanping.However, she never thought that the emperor would plot against her in this matter.

"Guo Huo Gong, don't worry, listen to what Huo Qiqi has to say." The emperor comforted him.

Duke Huo didn't want Huo Qiqi to talk, nor did he want to listen.What a terrible thing the plague is. What if Qiqi passes and gets infected with the plague?If Qi Qi had an accident, he would not have to live.

No, even if the emperor said it would break the sky, he would not agree to let Qi Qi go to Nanping.

"Qiqi, you heard it too. There was a flood in Nanping this summer, and the flood brought a plague. Many people there had symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting and fever. The palace has sent a group of imperial doctors there, but the effect Slight." The emperor explained to Huo Qiqi like chatting.

"Your Majesty, although the grass people know some medical skills, they are at a half-baked level. Up to now, the grass people have no medical certificates, and even the imperial physicians are helpless to deal with the plague, what can I do in the past?" Huo Qiqi said with a smile on his face.

"I didn't ask you to treat patients. However, you belong to the Ministry of Industry, and you can't shirk the flood." The emperor changed the subject.

Huo Qiqi...

If she had known it earlier, she would not have dared to be greedy for cheap, and received so little money from the Ministry of Industry every month.

"Huo Qiqi, you promised me that if something happens to the Ministry of Industry, you will definitely step up." Li Yuanbai said flatly.

"But you didn't say you were going on a business trip." Huo Qiqi was anxious.

On business trip?Li Yuanbai and the emperor looked at her in puzzlement, this word is relatively new.

"Are you referring to traveling far away?" Li Yuanbai asked with a glance at her.

"Hehe, that's right, it's about traveling far away." Huo Qiqi replied with a dry laugh.

"The Ministry of Industry is involved in a lot of affairs, and it is not a strange thing to travel far away. Huo Qiqi, you have stayed in the Ministry of Industry for more than 20 days, don't you even know this?" Li Yuanbai said with sarcasm meaning.

Huo Qiqi secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, she knew what the hell.In the Ministry of Industry, in order to return to the mansion early, she was busy training the servants and guards every day, and she didn't even pay attention to other things.

If she knew, it would be a ghost.

"Duke Protector doesn't have to worry about Huo Qiqi's safety. With the sixth prince as his companion, there is absolutely no danger." The emperor said with a smile.

Lord Protector...

Sure enough, he is an old fox playing politics, and he speaks well.As the emperor, he even sent his son out. As a courtier, the protector of the country, if he didn't express his position, the matter would be serious.

Not to mention, Duke Huguo himself is a weirdo. For the sake of the emperor's words, he still shook his head and refused to agree, "It stands to reason that, as a member of the Ministry of Industry, she should share the emperor's worries. But the seven of us Qi's body is weak since he was young, and there is a plague in Nanping. If this child goes to Nanping, what will he do if he catches the plague? The emperor also knows that the children in the old minister's family are not prosperous. If something happens to Qi Qi, the veteran will have no face to see his ancestors, his wife and children after he is buried."

Originally, he was just complaining, but as he spoke, Duke Protector's tears really came down.

This was the first time Huo Qiqi saw the old man weeping, such an elderly man with white beard and hair pleaded with the emperor for her snot and tears.

Huo Qiqi's eyes finally couldn't help turning red.

"Guo Huo Gong, I will give up the detoxification pill. Even if Huo Qiqi goes to Nanping, he will never be infected with the plague." Li Yuanbai said, "Huo Qiqi knows some medical skills, and she can always tell the difference between the real pill and the fake one. Don't hide it The Lord Protector said that this detoxification pill was obtained from the Valley of Divine Doctors, and it can avoid any poison for a month, we just went to Nanping to check the plague, so we will come back for a month at most."

"Duke Protector, you heard it too. If you have any worries, you might as well say it all at once." The emperor spoke again.

Lord Protector...

Damn it, this father and son are really annoying, why do they have to cling to Qi Qi?

Huo Qiqi saw that the emperor and Li Yuanbai's attitudes were very firm, thinking that she might not be able to escape, so she wanted to fight for more benefits for herself.

"Since this is the case, Caomin can agree to accompany the sixth prince to Nanping. But your majesty, since it is a business, can Caomin ask how the travel expenses will be calculated? This sounds dangerous. Does the imperial court provide other subsidies?"

What's the mess?The thoughts of the emperor and Li Yuanbai almost failed to keep up with her.But the emperor and Li Yuanbai are both smart people, after a little thought, they guessed what she wanted to express.

Huo Qiqi is asking for a favor!
This kid is clever, he's thinking about getting paid when he's not doing anything, he really deserves to be the son of the Huo family!
"If you manage things quickly this time, after you return to Beijing, I will allow you to develop another [-] mu of wasteland." The emperor said generously.

Although the imperial court encouraged farmers to open up wasteland and farm, it did not allow individuals to open up wasteland and farm endlessly.This is also to protect the interests of ordinary farmers.

Moreover, land reclamation and farming will involve a lot of labor. In order to prevent land reclamation workers from abandoning their fields in the future, the imperial court hereby promulgates that ordinary owned land shall not exceed a thousand mu, and the land conferred by the imperial court or rewarded by the emperor is excluded.

Huo Qiqi didn't pay much attention to two hundred acres of land.But in the future, her Zhuangzi will definitely expand, yes, something is better than nothing.

"Your Majesty, [-] mu of land is a bit small." Huo Qiqi had the cheek to discuss with the Emperor.

"Since you open your mouth and I don't want to hurt you, how about giving you another two hundred acres of fertile land?" The emperor was very forthright.

"Grassman, thank you." Huo Qiqi agreed with a smile.

Duke Protector was dumbfounded. In his opinion, no matter how much land the emperor gave, it was still not as good as Huo Qiqi's hair.Nanping is so dangerous, if Qiqi goes to Nanping, he will probably have to sleep and eat for a month.

Seeing that she agreed, the emperor was immediately delighted, and praised Huo Qiqi from inside to outside.

Huo Qiqi was courteous, so he flattered the emperor as a matter of course.

In the end, both parties were happy, and the emperor finally let them go out of the palace.
