Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 597 The Princess Consort of Chu Makes Meritorious Contributions

"Your Majesty, news has just come from the military camp that the Princess Consort of Chu and several imperial physicians have devised a method to treat the plague, and it is said that the plague is now under control..."

"what?"

Consort Zhong's expression changed drastically. "That was the plague! How could it have been cured in such a short time?"

"That's how the news came back from the military camp. Originally, everyone in the court was saying that the King of Chu should be punished, but unexpectedly, the news came from the military camp."

Not only did they devise a method to treat the plague, but they also caught a spies in the military camp. It's said that the Emperor had already sent people from the Dali Temple to investigate the matter, and they discovered that the first to be infected with the plague were not soldiers in the camp, but rather people from Qingyang Village.

Consort Zhong's heart skipped a beat. Although she had been confined to her quarters and unable to go out recently, she was still very familiar with the news about Prince Che.

She knew exactly what had happened.

If it succeeds, the King of Chu will have no chance to recover. Even if the emperor likes him, he will bear such a heavy responsibility, and countless soldiers and civilians have lost their lives because of it. It is impossible to pretend that none of this ever happened.

But if the truth behind this is discovered, then it's all over...

"How could this be?"

Consort Zhong paced anxiously in the room, her expression full of restlessness.

"It is said that Imperial Physician Jin is also a spy. Originally, all the imperial physicians were at a loss. It was thanks to Princess Chu who went to the military camp without fear of danger that they were able to come up with a treatment method in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, Consort Zhong's face turned extremely pale.

"Song Ruozhen, it's Song Ruozhen again! This woman is a jinx to us!"

When she first learned of Song Ruozhen's abilities, she wanted Prince Che to marry her. However, Prince Chu struck first, leaving Prince Che with no chance.

Without Song Ruozhen, King Chu would have had no chance to turn the tide in all of this!

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? The people in the Court of Judicial Review are no joke. What if they really discover something amiss..."

Consort Zhong's heart tightened. "No, they won't be discovered so easily. They must have already come up with a way to deal with it."

Meanwhile, the Empress, who had been holding her breath and thinking that everyone would come to laugh at her, was forcing herself to maintain her composure when she suddenly learned that Song Ruozhen had found a cure for the plague. Her eyes lit up immediately.

Chu Muyao rushed over immediately, "Mother, I knew my sister-in-law's medical skills were superb, and she really did come up with a solution!"

Consort Gao and the others were all taken aback and looked at each other in surprise. The Princess Consort of Chu was indeed quite capable.

"I had indeed heard that the Princess Consort of Chu was skilled in medicine and that she had cured both of her brothers. However, I had never seen her treat anyone else. I never expected that she could cure such a difficult plague?"

"Both the King of Chu and the King of Yun were infected. When the Queen Consort of Chu learned of this, she rushed over immediately. Now it seems... their affection is truly deep."

After learning the situation, the concubines began to flatter the Empress, saying how lucky she was to have such a good daughter-in-law.

We can't enjoy the spectacle now, and saying a few nice words won't kill anyone, so we might as well make a good impression on the Empress.

The Empress smiled broadly, "Indeed, the Princess Consort of Chu has made a great contribution this time. In any case, curing the plague can save many lives."

……

After Song Ruozhen and several imperial physicians confirmed that the medicine was indeed effective against the plague, especially after several soldiers in critical condition began to recover their pulses.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed.

Their heads, which had been hanging by a thread, are finally safe now.

Not only will nothing happen to you, you might even be able to do something great!

Song Ruozhen took a short break during the break and then immediately sent a message to Song Jingshen.

When Song Jingshen saw the letter from his younger sister, he learned that the crisis had passed and breathed a sigh of relief. He also learned that his sister asked him to prepare some necessary medicinal herbs immediately.

He didn't have time to think much and immediately sent someone to his family's herbal medicine shop to fetch all the herbs.

Not only that, he also had people go to other herbal medicine shops to buy some as well.

Despite the few lines of text on the letter and the lack of explanation, he had already guessed his sister's plan.

The plague has caused a great uproar in the city, and the people are making trouble. However, everything is a double-edged sword. Although it was a trap set by others, if my younger sister handles it properly, she may be able to gain a better reputation.

Song Ruozhen woke up after a short nap and saw that Chu Junting's energy and spirits had improved a lot after taking the medicine.

"Zhen'er, Yun Gui and I need to go to the palace. Would you like to come with us?" Chu Junting asked.

Song Ruozhen straightened Chu Junting's clothes and said with a smile, "I won't go. You all go back to the palace to report. I have another matter to attend to."

"What are you going to do?"

Chu Junting looked at his wife with concern. The woman's skin was fair and clear, but there was a faint bluish tinge under her eyes, indicating that she had not rested well.

It wasn't just that I didn't sleep well, but also that I was mentally and physically exhausted.

"Third brother, let's go quickly. The palace is waiting for us to return and report. The minister of the Court of Judicial Review and his men have also arrived."

Chu Yungui strode into the tent, his expression urgent. Although he had only been in the military camp for a few days, those days had felt like an eternity to him.

He almost lost his life here!

He's now a survivor, but he just can't swallow this anger no matter what!

He must find all the people behind this; he will not let any of those who want to kill him get away with it!

Chu Junting noticed the figure of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review outside out of the corner of his eye, and immediately nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he turned to look at Song Ruozhen, "We'll talk about it when I get back."

"Don't worry about me."

Song Ruozhen smiled and waved, seeing Chu Junting off with a beaming smile.

After watching them leave, a serious expression suddenly appeared on her bright face. She turned to Qing Teng and Bai Zhi and said, "Let's go!"

Qing Teng and Bai Zhi were completely bewildered, having no idea what their princess was planning to do.

However, judging from his solemn expression, it seems that what he is about to do is not simple.

Song Ruozhen calculated the time. Her letter had been delivered to her fourth brother for a while now. Given his speed, the things should be ready by now.

She had already inquired beforehand and learned that the plague outbreak was most severe in the north of the city. After learning of the outbreak, the imperial court immediately dispatched troops to surround the area and prevent the people from leaving, in order to prevent the plague from spreading further.

And she was heading to the north of the city.

When the three arrived at the north of the city, they found the pharmacy's doors tightly closed, with many people gathered outside seeking medical treatment.

"What are we going to do now? The doctor won't even open the door. Are we just going to wait to die?"

"The plague is truly devastating. The imperial court has clearly abandoned us; we are doomed!"
