The Regent Princess has run away again

Chapter 131 Riot

Xue Zhiyu had been busy with her work and didn't notice the melancholy in Mu Xingchen's eyes. She weighed the medicine powder in a familiar way and packed it up.

She lowered her head and pretended to be puzzled, "Master, do I need to mix this powder with water?"

"Well, drinking it for three days with water is enough," Mu Xingchen's eyes regained clarity again, as if the complex emotions that had just appeared were just an illusion.

Soon, the two of them prepared all the medicine packages. Now the only problem left was delivery. Due to the large population, it would probably take a long time for them to distribute them door to door.

They can't afford to delay.

Xue Zhiyu thought about the news she heard from the waiter. Two more people were found dead in Yuyang County last night for unknown reasons.

It seemed that only publicity could achieve better results. She picked up paper and an ink-soaked brush from the table next to her and began to paint.

"You can just go to the county magistrate directly. No one in the county dares to offend him."

"Then let's go visit him later. Master, do you know where the county magistrate lives?"

"Well, I know."

"boom!!!"

A loud bang came from Yuyang County not far away, followed by roars and screams. The two looked at each other and ran away quickly.

This time they heard it more clearly, and their expressions became more serious.

A riot broke out in Yuyang County.

Mingzhi and others also ran down. They were awakened by the sudden noise. Looking at the people running frantically from Yuyang County, Mingzhi frowned and said, "I'll go over and take a look first."

"Let's go together."

"it is good."

Several people rushed against the flow of people towards Yuyang County. The closer they got, the more they could see the mess all around them. Broken cans were scattered in different places, and several seriously injured people collapsed in a pool of blood. There was a faint smell of blood mixed with painful growls in the air.

But what made Xue Zhiyu frown the most was the two men who were still fighting each other in front of her. Their faces were red and their clothes were cut by sharp weapons.

The two men had ferocious expressions as they stared at each other, their hands becoming more ruthless each time.

Not right.

Mingzhi naturally also noticed the weirdness. Before everyone could react, he took out two silver needles from his sleeve, stood on tiptoe and ran over the two of them, aiming the silver needles in his hand at the acupuncture points and threw them out.

Suddenly, the person who was fighting paused and fell down, his eyes wide open, as if he was unwilling to give up, and his entire eyeballs were stained with red bloodshot.

Xue Zhiyu had never seen such a scene, but she gradually realized that the development of the situation seemed to be different again. She and Mo Chenru followed Mu Xingchen and walked over.

"Master, it's a temper tantrum, probably caused by Manjizi," Mingzhi's face became more and more ugly, his jawline was tight, he pursed his lips and squatted down without saying a word.

He looked around at the two people's eyes, then looked at Xue Zhiyu and said, "Junior sister, do you see anything?"

"Well, judging from the current state, it should have been in the latent stage before, and it has only erupted now, but why is the trigger Manjizi?"

"Because they inhale too much manjizi, in addition to having dark patterns on their bodies, they may also become irritable in the early stages. Look at their necks."

Xue Zhiyu looked over as Mingzhi said, and could vaguely see some red patterns on the two people's necks.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she found that the red pattern seemed to be becoming clearer and clearer.

Mo Chenru, who had been silent, said, "The timing of this riot is too coincidental. Remember the Taoist priest that the old lady mentioned? This person is very suspicious."

"I don't know where the people are hiding now. Hurry up and distribute the powder to everyone. We can't delay any longer." Xue Zhiyu stood up, glanced at the people lying in a pool of blood, and continued: "Before that, I will take care of the injured here. Senior brother, you and Mr. Mo start distributing the powder."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

After Mingzhi finished speaking, he looked at Mo Chenru and went to the inn without looking back.

Kanan looked left and right, and seeing Xue Zhiyu rolling up her sleeves to treat the injured, she followed happily.

Xue Zhiyu tore off a part of her hem without hesitation, glanced at the spot where the bleeding wouldn't stop, took out a bottle of hemostatic powder and poured some on it, then quickly tied a knot on it.

She thought for a moment and took out a small piece of ginseng lozenge from another medicine bottle. "Hold it in your mouth, don't chew it."

The man lying in a pool of blood raised his eyelids dazedly. He no longer had the energy to think too much. As soon as Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, he obediently put it in his mouth.

"Nian Nian, come with me and carry him to a clean place to lie down."

"No, I can carry him there by myself."

As she spoke, Xianxian bent down, picked up the man lying in a pool of blood, walked into a house with an open door behind her, and put him on a simple bed inside.

Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw how effortlessly Kankan performed. She didn't expect that Kankan's appearance and her strength seemed to be two different people.

But she didn't have time to think about it, there were other people who needed her treatment.

Mo Chenru casually walked into a pawnshop and spoke a few words to the clerk there. The clerk's face became visibly more nervous.

The other party just nodded, and Mingzhi looked at Mo Chenru with confusion, not understanding what he was going to do. Why did he come into the pawnshop for no reason?

As if he saw Mingzhi's confusion, Mo Chenru explained with a smile: "Let's call for help, otherwise it will take forever for the two of us to get the job."

Soon, Chao Feng came back from behind the door and said something in a low voice. Then Mo Chenru waved his hand and asked him to leave.

"Let's go back."

"Ah? Are you leaving now?"

"What else? You plan on staying here and helping?"

As Mo Chenru spoke, he left the pawnshop without looking back, gently fanning himself and spoke slowly.

"No, where did you get this fan?"

"I just got it from the pawnshop. I'll sell it to you for fifty taels of silver."

Mingzhi stared at the fan in his hand for a few seconds and said bluntly, "You are trying to rob me. You have the nerve to charge so much for this broken fan."

Xue Zhiyu was almost at the inn before they went back. Looking at the crowds of people lined up in rows not far away, she couldn't help but admire Mo Chenru's speed in her heart.

Behind her, Qianqian was still full of energy. She even carefully counted the number of people who came. "Oh my god, there are more than 40 people here. I didn't expect to find so many people so quickly."

Mo Chenru and the other man also returned to the inn. While distributing medicinal powder, they asked everyone to change into government office clothes.

Looking at the government uniform, Xue Zhiyu recalled the conversation before returning to the inn, and Mu Xingchen's calm words still rang in her ears.

She had always known that the Master himself was a mystery, someone who could not be fully understood or guessed, but he could easily know what she was thinking.

These sets of government uniforms were also brought to the inn by Mu Xingchen in advance. He always looked like he knew everything about them, and almost nothing could cause a crack in his indifferent expression.

"Master, you are so predictable. I am still thinking about how to get these clothes."

Xue Zhiyu turned her head and looked at Mu Xingchen with a look of surprise and disbelief.

"It just occurred to me. There is no such thing as predicting the future. Everything has a cause. Let's go and take a look at the situation."

"it is good."

Xue Zhiyu had no choice but to suppress her doubts and followed one of the groups of people.

Kankan followed without hesitation. After all, wherever the leader was, she would be there.

This team of detectives should have attracted everyone's attention, but because of the riot, only faint wailing could be heard on the street and no one paid any attention to them.

This time, Xue Zhiyu noticed that the people living in this area had faint patterns on their necks, but the color was not obvious and could not be seen without careful observation.

She watched the constables hand the powder to the people and tell them to take it. Seeing that everyone was cooperating, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come over here."

Xue Zhiyu saw Mu Xingchen walking towards the people under the tree. When she saw clearly the man who was almost being ignored, her pupils suddenly contracted.

There was no place on the man's face where you could see the original color of his skin; it was covered with spots all over.

She suppressed her discomfort, walked over and said nothing, watching quietly as Mu Xingchen took out a silver needle from his sleeve and inserted it into an acupuncture point on his wrist.

The man, who had no reaction at first, twitched all over, then his eyes suddenly widened, and blood suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Mu Xingchen quickly took out another silver needle and inserted it quickly and accurately into an acupuncture point on the man's head.

Mingzhi also took out a pill and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

After so much cooperation, the man seemed unable to endure this extreme pain. His eyes rolled back and he fainted completely. However, the originally densely packed patterns faded a little.

Mu Xingchen stretched out his hand to feel the man's pulse, and under Xue Zhiyu's gaze, he slowly said, "There's nothing wrong. Come and feel his pulse."

Xue Zhiyu nodded, walked to Mu Xingchen's position, stretched out her hand and placed it on the man's wrist. After a moment's silence, she said, "The pulse is now somewhat stable, but he still needs to rest for a few days. The Qi-nourishing Pill can help to restore the lost Qi."

On the other side, the situation encountered by Mo Chenru was not very optimistic. Looking at the people fleeing in the opposite direction of him, he couldn't help but look back at the direction people were fleeing.

It would have been better if he didn't look. After Mo Chenru figured out the direction over there, his face changed drastically and his expression was suddenly filled with panic, but he quickly calmed down.

Where does this lead to? Even though he is from Qi Yue Kingdom, he knows Penang, which is known as the City of Pena. It is impossible for him not to know this road.

This is the direction towards Zhaoyuan City.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else and took out a flute from his sleeve and started playing it softly.

Soon, several men in gray robes came over from somewhere, looked at Mo Chenru and said respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Mo."

"Well, find a way to prevent those people from pouring into Zhaoyuan City as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Inside the palace.

Xia Yu was reviewing the matter regarding the drought in the south, which had now entered the final stages. Fortunately, the damage was not particularly severe this time, with only about a hundred deaths.

He breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his brows. Eunuch Huang quickly brought a cup of ginseng tea to the emperor. He looked at the memorials that had not been reviewed yet and said distressedly: "Your Majesty should rest. Your health is the most important thing."

"I know, but everything here must be reviewed carefully. As the head of all the ministers and the father of the people, I dare not slack off in the slightest."

Eunuch Huang didn't know how to persuade him. He seemed to remember something and continued, "Your Majesty, Empress Chen Zhaoyi just came. She asked me to give you this sachet. It was made by the Empress herself in consultation with the Imperial Doctor."

Xia Yu looked at the dark green sachet in Eunuch Huang's hand, with a little more tenderness in his eyes. He took the sachet and took a look at it. There was a very majestic dragon embroidered on it, and you could see the meticulous effort put into it.

"Chen Zhaoyi is very thoughtful. Is she feeling well recently? Pregnant women will feel uncomfortable to some extent. Please ask the imperial physician to check on her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Eunuch Huang turned around and was about to go to the Imperial Hospital, Xia Yu hurriedly called him back, "Tell Chen Zhaoyi that when I'm done with my work, I'll definitely go see her and the child to make her feel more at ease."

"Yes, I'll be right there."

Watching Eunuch Huang leave, the smile on Xia Yu's lips never disappeared. Thinking of that playful woman, he missed her again, especially when he thought of the child in her belly. He wanted to go to the harem to see her immediately.

But he really missed her so much.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, hung the sachet carefully on his body, and continued to read the remaining memorials.

"Your Majesty! It's not good!"
