WFWC Chapter 48

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 48: The Crown Prince Went South to Fight the Epidemic

 

Concubine Qin had a bad feeling in her heart. “Yuan’er, go and find out what happened?” The news about Jizhou did not spread to Shengjing so quickly, so something else must have happened.

 

Today she deliberately mentioned Baiji in order to pave the way for her subsequent plans.

 

Bei Hengyuan was also very confused and was about to send someone to investigate, but Wu Lao came in a hurry. He glanced at Concubine Qin and hesitated to speak.

 

Concubine Qin knew it was that incident without a doubt. Although it was half a month earlier than expected, she thought that she had just mentioned Baiji in front of Emperor Yu, so the rest of the matter would proceed as planned.

 

Bei Hengyuan frowned fiercely after seeing the looks exchanged between the two.

 

Suddenly, Concubine Qin said, “Yuan’er, come and listen too!” After that, she took the lead and walked towards Jinhua Palace.

 

Bei Hengyuan followed Concubine Qin all the way to the secret room of Jinhua Palace and had a very bad feeling in his heart.

 

As soon as they entered the secret room, he heard Wu Lao’s voice:

 

“Your Highness, the epidemic in Jizhou was discovered in advance by Imperial Doctor Mu and Lord Ji, and Yin Zheng was ordered to send the news back to Shengjing as quickly as possible.”

 

“There’s an epidemic in Jizhou? What’s going on? Concubine mother, what did you do while carrying the child on your back?” Bei Hengyuan couldn’t remain calm after thinking of a terrible possibility.

 

Concubine Qin signaled Bei Hengyuan to calm down and asked Wu Lao: “Did you see anything?”

 

“I don’t know yet.” Old Wu said truthfully.

 

Concubine Qin thought that even if Imperial Physician Mu discovered it in advance, it would be fine because he did not have the ability to make an antidote.

 

After thinking it through, Concubine Qin said to Bei Hengyuan with a pleasant face: “Yuan’er, the reason why your mother mentioned Baiji in front of His Majesty just now was to pave the way for this matter. Whether Baiji’s medical skills are good or not is not decided by one person. It takes the recognition of thousands of people to clear you and me of suspicion.”

 

After hearing this, Bei Hengyuan frowned fiercely: “So, you took it upon yourself to have someone do something in Jizhou, and then recommended Bai Ji to go there for treatment to make his name known?”

 

“My son is smart.” Concubine Qin looked pleased. However, Bei Hengyuan’s expression was frightening.

 

His friar face was frighteningly pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked Wu Lao: “Tell me the truth, Wu Lao, have there been any casualties in this epidemic in Jizhou?”

 

“Yuan’er, if the epidemic doesn’t kill people, how can it be called an epidemic? How can it prove that Baiji is a miracle doctor?” When Concubine Qin saw Bei Hengyuan staggering, she wanted to help him.

 

Her words showed a complete arrogance that did not care about the lives of ordinary people, and she remained calm even when being vicious.

 

The Third Prince pushed away the hand that Concubine Qin had extended to him, and growled, “Mother, even if I want that position, I won’t do it by stepping on the corpses of the common people. You have disappointed me so much.”

 

Old Wu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed to the ground.

 

Seeing Bei Hengyuan staggering with anger, Concubine Qin was terrified, “Yuan’er, don’t be like this. Mother is doing this for your own good. Mother doesn’t want to see you suffer from illness every day. If you force the poison out of your body sooner, mother will be happy too!” If it’s any later, he will really lose that position.

 

Bei Hengyuan was so angry that he fainted.

 

Concubine Qin hurriedly asked someone to call Bai Ji, and half an hour later, he woke up.

 

Concubine Qin dismissed her attendants, held Bei Hengyuan’s hand and cried, “Yuan’er, it’s all mother’s fault. I made the decision without discussing it with you. If you want to blame someone, blame mother. Don’t joke with your own body. Mother is so distressed!”

 

Concubine Qin cried very sadly, and while crying she confessed that she was wrong.

 

Appeal to their emotions and enlighten them with reason.

 

After all, she was his mother, how could Bei Hengyuan watch her being beheaded? Once this matter was exposed, he would be further and further away from that position.

 

At this point, Baiji can only rush to Jizhou to prepare the antidote to treat the people. In this way, the guilt in his heart can be alleviated. At the same time, he also hopes that everything will go according to plan, and that nothing will go wrong.

 

Seeing Bei Hengyuan cheer up, Concubine Qin was very happy and promised to obey him in the future.

 

“It is good that mother thinks so. Without further delay, I will take Baiji to see father. The sooner we get to Jizhou, the more people we can save. This way, my guilt will be alleviated.”

 

“Go, go, mother knows she was wrong, let your uncle prepare the herbs to make up for her mistake.”

 

When Bei Hengyuan left Jinhua Palace, Concubine Qin was very pleased. She sighed, “Yuan’er is still too kind.” Then she turned to Wu Lao and said, “This matter cannot be leaked. The only way is to get rid of Yin and Yang Lao.”

 

“You should handle this matter yourself.”

 

“Yes, your highness.” Wu Lao responded and left.

 

After taking two steps, Wu Lao suddenly turned around and said, “Madam, Doctor Mu.” “Don’t worry. Even if Doctor Mu is an excellent doctor, he won’t be able to develop an antidote in a short time. Let’s proceed according to the plan first.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Bei Hengyuan dragged his sick body and took Bai Ji to Zhengde Palace in a hurry, “Father, I learned that something happened in Jizhou. I am willing to do my part for the people. Mr. Bai has superb medical skills and can go to Jizhou to fight the epidemic.”

 

When Bei Hengyuan arrived, Emperor Yu and all the civil and military officials had been discussing matters for two hours. The plague in Jizhou had already spread.

 

Bei Hengyuan rarely showed such filial piety, and Emperor Yu was comforted and agreed: “Then follow the Crown prince to the south to fight the epidemic. Since Imperial Doctor Mu already has a prescription, the Prime Minister will immediately go down to prepare the necessary medicinal materials and the Crown prince will take them with him. If there is not enough silver, use the national treasury. In short, this time, we will settle the people of Jizhou at all costs.”

 

Bei Hengyuan was confused. He had a lot of things to say to help Emperor Yu, but he didn’t expect Emperor Yu to agree. Seeing that Emperor Yu’s expression was not as worried as he had imagined, he became suspicious.

 

When he suddenly heard that Doctor Mu already had a prescription to deal with it, his heart suddenly trembled.

 

“Brother, can you let Mr. Bai take a look at the prescription? Mr. Bai is quite knowledgeable about difficult and complicated diseases.” Outside the palace, Bei Hengyuan stopped the Crown prince who was about to leave in a hurry.

 

When he came, he learned from Bai Ji that the antidote had been prepared long ago and they just needed to go to Jizhou. Now that he heard that Doctor Mu had a prescription to deal with it, he couldn’t help feeling a little uneasy.

 

After the New Year’s Eve plan failed, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He just wanted to calm down for a few days, but he didn’t expect his mother to take the initiative.

 

“Okay, let’s take a look!” The Crown prince felt sympathy for his third brother. Thinking of how his body had been weakened by the poison he had been suffering from over the years, he felt very sorry for him and showed extra concern for him.

 

Seeing that he was concerned about the safety of the people even though he was sick, he felt relieved. Without thinking, he handed the prescription to Baiji next to him.

 

Bai Ji didn’t say a word the whole time. When he finished reading the prescription, his eyebrows twitched slightly. He said conservatively, “This prescription is indeed effective in curing the epidemic. Doctor Mu is worthy of being the head of the Imperial Hospital. I admire him.”

 

Bai Ji did not speak during the entire process. After reading the content of the recipe, his eyebrows almost jumped.

 

After saying that, he returned the prescription to the Crown prince.

 

After the Crown prince left, Bei Hengyuan couldn’t wait to ask, “What’s going on?” At the same time, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

 

Bai Ji’s words hit him hard: “It’s strange that Doctor Mu’s prescription is exactly the same as the antidote.”

 

Hearing this, Bei Hengyuan staggered unsteadily.

 

His mother seemed to be making wedding clothes for others.

 

Why? Why?

 

When did Doctor Mu’s medical skills reach such an astonishing level that he could find the antidote so quickly?

 

If he is really that powerful, why can’t he cure the poison in his body?

 

The Third Prince was terrified at this moment, as if there was a pair of huge hands preventing him from reaching the top.

 

Soon, the Third prince got the answer. This prescription was not thought up by Imperial Physician Mu, but by the wife of the marquis who had once brought Zhao Xue back to life with a single injection.

 

This Marquis’ wife seemed a little different.

 

Bei Hengyuan brought the news back to Jinhua Palace, and Concubine Qin was shocked after hearing it.

 

“Yuan’er, this matter cannot be exposed. You have to help your mother.” Only then did Concubine Qin realize her fear, and her face was full of worry and panic.

 

Imperial Physician Mu can detoxify, so he can naturally realize that something is wrong. If he investigates, the consequences will be disastrous.

 

Bei Hengyuan had of course thought of this, “Don’t worry, mother. Let me think about it.”

 

“How can we not be anxious? If Ji Xiaoshan finds out something, we, we…” Concubine Qin was extremely anxious.

 

“Yuan’er, you must think of a solution quickly. This is all mother’s fault. Mother didn’t know when Imperial Physician Mu’s medical skills became so superb. I thought that sending Bai Ji would make this plan a sure thing, but I never thought that someone would know the antidote.”

 

Concubine Qin shook Bei Hengyuan, becoming frantic with anxiety.

 

“Enough.” Bei Hengyuan suddenly roared, interrupting Concubine Qin’s chatter. Concubine Qin was so frightened that she looked at Bei Hengyuan blankly with a pale face.

 

“Yuan’er, are you, are you being mean to me? I did all this because of you. I know you are kind and righteous, but, but you can’t get that position without using some tricks. Let me do whatever you can’t do. I am willing to be the bad guy for you, okay?”

 

Concubine Qin spoke emotionally and humbly, she knew Bei Hengyuan would fall for it.

 

Sure enough, the anger on Bei Hengyuan’s face subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye. He said patiently, “I’m sorry, mother. I was too impatient. It was wrong for me to be mean to you. I also hope that mother will stop being so self-righteous and discuss everything with me.”

 

“Yes, yes, mother will remember this.” Concubine Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

 

Her child is kind-hearted, but smart. He will definitely find a way.
