The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 123 Gaining fame and secretly scheming (1)
"Is it better?" The distress in Shui Qianliu's eyes did not escape Chu Qing's eyes.

This trace of sincere distress made Chu Qing give up pursuing the fact that someone hugged her without her permission.

"Why are you here?" As soon as the voice came out, Chu Qing realized how hoarse and ugly her voice was.

Shui Qianliu didn't mind at all, picked up the water glass, and coaxed softly: "Come on, drink some water first."

At this moment, Chu Qing's throat seemed to be half burnt by fire, she drank the water in the water glass in one gulp, and the cold water flowing down made her feel more comfortable.

Chu Qing, who felt that he had come back to life, found that the high fever on his body had subsided, and he became more energetic, knowing in his heart that he had survived.

Not in a hurry to let Jiujiu go and call the old doctor, she motioned for Shui Qianliu to put her down.

"It seems that you are willing to lie in my arms obediently only when you are sick." Shui Qianliu had no choice but to put her back on the bed.

Chu Qing jokingly smiled: "King Xiaoyao really likes to take advantage of beauties as in the legend."

"Being able to talk back seems to be a lot better." Chu Qing's condition improved, and even Shui Qianliu's mood also improved.

"I remember that someone borrowed my name and made a fortune." Suddenly, Shui Qianliu found out the old account.

Chu Qing's heart froze, and he sneered: "It was a misunderstanding, and I was forced to do nothing back then."

How could Shui Qianliu really blame her, he just liked to see her deflated and cute appearance.Silently laughing, he reprimanded: "Don't take such risks in the future."

"No, no, I'm not stupid." Chu Qing hurriedly explained.

After finishing speaking, she suddenly said nervously: "By the way, if you hug me like this when I'm sick, you won't be infected. I'll let Jiujiu check it out for you later."

"Qing'er is caring about me?" Shui Qianliu's eyes lit up, and he looked at her excitedly.

The corner of Chu Qing's mouth twitched, and she quickly cleared it up: "I just don't want to hurt the innocent, so don't think too much about it."

Despite the explanation, Shui Qianliu didn't believe it at all.However, he didn't want to force her either. She was still young and had to do her own thing, so he was willing to wait.

"Do you know that the imperial envoy from Chaotian is already on his way to Anning?" Shui Qianliu suddenly threw out a big news.

Chu Qing's eyes lit up!If the imperial envoy is ordered to provide disaster relief, it means that Anning will soon restore the original economic order, and the depressed business affected by the natural disaster will also be able to rise again.

"Do you want to know who this imperial envoy is?" Shui Qianliu looked at Chu Qing playfully.

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, looked at Shui Qianliu's expression, his heart moved, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Wen Qingzhu."

"Smart." Shui Qianliu praised.

Chu Qing was speechless: "It's not difficult to guess. People in the officialdom, there is no one else who can make you ask me like this."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her eyes, the imperial envoy was Wen Qingzhu, and she didn't know whether this was good or bad for the Chu family.Such an errand fell on him, a rookie in the officialdom, perhaps it was his old man who secretly did his best to accumulate political achievements?
The sneer on Chu Qing's cheeks flashed past.She raised her eyes and looked at Shui Qianliu: "Those people who delivered the wine, did they ask anything?"

Speaking of this, Shui Qianliu's eyes became more solemn: "They all committed suicide by taking poison."

"What!" Chu Qing was shocked.

"It seems that their identities are not simple. I guessed that they were all people who were bribed with money to deliberately stir up riots among the victims, but now it seems that they are all well-trained dead soldiers." Shui Qianliu said slowly .

"Then who the hell wants to stir up the civil strife in Chu State secretly and reap the benefits?" Chu Qing muttered to himself.

Shui Qianliu said nothing, just looked at the sky, and he suppressed the complex emotions welling up in his eyes.

On the second day after Chu Qing recovered from his illness, the Anning government proposed vaccination against smallpox to prevent the spread of the plague.On the day when the notice was posted, countless people gathered to watch it, all of them were amazed by the miraculous but unknown variola vaccination technique.

In the small car with green eaves, Mingliu said unhappily: "Miss, this Mr. Liu is really too much. The notice stated that it was you who proposed the smallpox vaccination, but did not mention the verification that you put yourself in danger. If something happens, I can put the blame on you."

Chu Qing smiled lightly, unlike Ming Liu's anger: "This is exactly what I want."

"What?" Ming Liu looked at Chu Qing because he didn't know.Even Jiujiu looked at her curiously.

The two girls stared at him, Chu Qing smiled, and explained: "Liu He cherishes the official as his life, if there is no imperial decree to suppress him this time, he would not dare to try human pox vaccination in such a desperate way. But, even if he implemented However, he was unwilling to take responsibility for this method, so he distanced himself from the very beginning. On the bright side, even if he was not the one who proposed this method, he was still the one who promoted it. There's no need to argue with me for the truth. Privately speaking, he didn't mention my personal verification in the announcement. Firstly, it reduces my credit. Second, if there is an accident, he can also shirk the main responsibility. to me, and he is at best an oversight."

"So that's it! I didn't expect this silly-looking Mr. Liu to have so many tricks." Jiujiu suddenly realized.

"He's not stupid. How can he be such a fool if he can be such a high-ranking official?" Ming Liu gave a blank look, gritted his teeth and said, his eyes were full of disdain for Liu He.

Seeing that the two of them finally figured out what Liu He was thinking, Chu Qing continued: "I am the opposite of Liu He. I am very confident in vaccination against smallpox. As long as I follow the doctor's advice, there will be no problems. Think about it, if a merchant's daughter came up with a method to eliminate the plague once and for all, and this method can even be extended to the whole country, what will my reputation be like, your lady?"

Jiujiu and Mingliu looked at each other, their eyes lit up at the same time, and they said in unison: "Then Miss is a celebrity in Dachu, and she will also be the object of praise by the people."

Plague has always represented the god of death and despair, but Chu Qing's smallpox vaccination technique brought hope and defeated the god of death.Then her reputation will be famous all over Southern Chu, and even the Chu family will rise because of it.The gossip she has suffered before will be completely washed away.

Of course, these will not be realized until the difficulty of tranquility is resolved and the imperial court promulgates rewards.However, starting today, her name will be spread among the people.

The corners of Chu Qing's lips rose, revealing a smile with wisdom in his hands.

Fame is the first step to a successful businessman.

From this disaster, the Chu family is the real big winner, and she, Chu Qing, will ride the wind. One day, she will no longer bow to the powerful.

"Miss, where are we going next?" Ming Liu's eyes flashed with excitement.
