Chapter 206 Buying Food
Pei Qingyan smiled sheepishly.
"Uncle, what you said is wrong. There are already a lot of talents in our company. It's just that I like to do many things myself so that I can feel a sense of accomplishment. Moreover, the Imperial Guards are your personal soldiers and are there to protect your safety. If I If you transfer me at will, who will protect your safety? It doesn't matter if Yan'er works hard, the important thing is that nothing can happen to you, uncle."
Emperor Duanming snorted coldly.
"What can I do in this palace? Is it possible that the assassin can sneak into the palace?"
Pei Qingyan smiled and said, "Be careful with your ship."
While the two were talking and laughing, the imperial doctor had already bandaged the split wound on Pei Qingyan's shoulder.
The imperial doctor reminded: "Master Pei, your wound was originally poisonous. Although the poison has been removed, there is still residual toxicity. You should pay more attention to rest in the near future, drink as much water as possible, do not use force, and do not run around. , Weichen will give you some prescriptions for detoxification and nourishment later, just drink it on time."
Emperor Duanming was startled and asked angrily: "It's actually poisonous?"
The imperial doctor reported: "Yes, Your Majesty, according to Wei Chen's observation, Master Pei must have been poisoned by Thousand Spider Venom before. This poison is very strong, and the victim will die within half an hour. However, although it is highly toxic, it can suppress The poisoning process is not complicated, so the detoxification is not complicated either. However, Wei Chen observed that Mr. Pei should have used the life-saving magic medicine to save his life, because the poison only started to be eliminated after nearly half an hour. If not There is a life-saving medicine, and Mr. Pei should not be able to appear here alive and well at this time."
Emperor Duanming's expression changed drastically.
He never expected that Pei Qingyan's trip would be so dangerous.
Looking at Pei Qingyan again, his expression was much gentler, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted.
"Why didn't you tell me that such a big thing happened? I kept you here talking for so long."
Pei Qingyan smiled and said: "Uncle, I'm really fine. Didn't you listen to what the imperial doctor said? I took the magic medicine, so I'm full of energy now. Not to mention just saying a few words with you, even if you want me now I can accompany you to a night of hunting, and a banquet will do."
Emperor Duanming had a stern look on his face, "Nonsense! Are you playing with your body like this?"
He paused and asked: "Is that magic medicine you took before reliable? Do you want to let the imperial doctor take a look? Since someone has poisoned you, you must prevent them from using other methods to harm you. This The matter must be investigated to the end! I want to see who has the courage!"
Pei Qingyan smiled.
"Uncle, don't worry. That medicine was given to me by a very trustworthy friend of Yan'er. She won't harm me. Moreover, Yan'er was seriously injured when he was in Jizhou half a year ago. That's when Yan'er almost died when he came back to see you. It was she who saved her. Me, I also took that pill at the time, and it did wonders for trauma.”
Emperor Duanming was stunned.
Jizhou?
Did he mean...
His brows wrinkled involuntarily.
In fact, Pei Qingyan was just testing it out.
Let’s see how much the emperor knows and what his attitude is.
But somehow, the emperor did not continue to talk in depth on this topic.
Instead, he turned around and said: "That's good. What I'm most worried about is your body. As long as you are fine, I can be more generous and not pursue it for the time being."
Pei Qingyan's eyes flashed.
Not right.
Very wrong.
According to common sense, if the emperor's uncle cares about him so much, since he knows that someone has saved him time and time again, he should ask his name and give him a reward.
But now, the emperor's uncle not only did not pursue the question further, but also deliberately changed the subject.
So, did he already know about Song Anning's existence?
And you are very unhappy with her?
Pei Qingyan lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Soon, the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine.
Pei Qingyan took the prescription and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Dr. Sun. I'll take this prescription back and make it myself. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Please take good care of your uncle's dragon body. If I find something good someday, I will give it to you first." share."
Imperial Physician Sun was flattered and said quickly: "It is my duty to take care of the Holy Emperor's dragon body. I dare not accept Master Pei's great gift."
Pei Qingyan smiled and didn't mind.
He turned to the emperor and said, "Uncle, do you have anything else to do? It's okay. I'm going back to rest. Although the wound is harmless, it does hurt."
Emperor Duanming was so angry.
Look, look what this is.
If it were anyone else, would they dare to be so arrogant in front of him?He didn't even say anything before he asked to leave.
But Emperor Duanming seemed to enjoy this too.
He waved his hands impatiently and said angrily: "Gungun, I'm impatient to see you."
Pei Qingyan smiled, cupped his hand to Emperor Duanming, and then left.
After he left, Emperor Duanming's face darkened.
Eunuch Fuquan dismissed the imperial doctor and walked to the emperor with lowered eyebrows and eyes.
Emperor Duanming walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back. Although his face was gloomy and it was hard to tell what he was thinking, his anxiety at the moment could also be seen from his steps.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Fuquan, go and find out where the woman named Song is now? Yan'er was injured outside the city. Since she can give Yan'er the magic medicine , must have gone to Beijing together. If you have found out her residence, please don’t make it public for now and report to me when you come back."
"Yes."
Fuquan quickly went down to make arrangements.
And here.
Song Anning found the Yujia rice shop, negotiated with Yu Shibo about the purchase, and then looked at the rice provided by the Yujia. After confirming that it was not of good quality, she paid someone to prepare it for loading.
There is an official road from Beijing to Qingzhou, which is specially used for freight transportation.
Song Anning did not leave in a hurry to return to Qingzhou, but asked Dong Lai to find a bodyguard and asked the people from the bodyguard to take the goods back first while she stayed in the capital.
She had other plans.
According to the trajectory of her previous life, the world would have to wait for at least three more years before the world was in chaos. However, this trip made her realize that the world would not be in chaos overnight. Before that, the people had been squeezed to the end. , people are starving and dying. It is not so much that the chaos started three years later. In fact, the chaos has already started now.
What she has to do is to find another way out or more protection for herself and her family before the real troubled times come.
Therefore, Song Anning first asked Yu Shibo to continue searching for food. She wanted not only the food that Song Hexing had negotiated with the Yu family before, but also more. After the Yu family agreed, she went to the local magistrate and said that she was from Qingzhou. The merchant who came wanted to buy some old grain.
A lot of old grain is released from the official warehouse of the government every year.
Most of this old grain is moldy, smells bad, and is very unpalatable. Because new grain needs to be imported, the old grain has to be thrown away, so for the government, this is a huge waste.
