Chapter 125 Qin Yunzhu Unveils the Imperial Edict
Xiao Sirou has gained some weight and her skin is fairer than before; she no longer looks as thin and pitiful as she did before.
Xiao Sirou smiled broadly, her cheeks slightly puffed out, showing a bit of baby fat.
Her entire demeanor was no longer that of a maid; she now possessed a dignified and noble air.
The three siblings bowed to Xiao Sirou, and Xiao Sirou returned the bow.
King Zhao spoke up, "Miss Wanying, there is something else concerning my daughter that has been weighing on my mind."
"Father!" Xiao Sirou already knew what King Zhao was going to say, and shyly scolded him.
Qin Wanying understood that King Zhao's only concern was Xiao Sirou's marriage.
Although Xiao Sirou is the daughter of Prince Zhao, she had been married before, so it would be difficult for her to find a suitable match.
Xiao Sirou had suffered domestic violence and was forced to have a miscarriage. She had endured a lot of suffering. King Zhao felt sorry for her and hoped that his daughter could marry a good husband.
Moreover, his daughter had been missing for so many years and had finally been found. He didn't want her to marry far away from home.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the princess's marriage will definitely be settled. The man she will marry is an outstanding young man who will treat her very well. Moreover, he will come to Huaiping and will not let the princess marry far away."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be anxious. Just wait patiently, and this person will surely appear."
With Qin Wanying's words, King Zhao felt much more at ease.
He didn't ask his daughter to marry a noble man; he only wanted someone who would treat her well and for her to stay by his side.
Xiao Sirou must be a sucker for good looks, otherwise why would she marry a third-ranked scholar?
Qin Yonghua and Qin Yunzhu were both taken aback.
Who would have thought that the daughter of King Zhao would marry a third-ranking scholar?
I wonder which year's third-place finisher he was?
A spark of gossip ignited in both of them; they were eager to know which scholar Xiao Sirou was going to marry.
However, there was still no word from Qin Wanying, which made the two of them feel very upset.
The three siblings bid farewell to King Zhao and set off for the Kingdom of Ke.
Upon entering the territory of Ke Kingdom, it was discovered that the people here did indeed look different from the people of Dayao; their skin was darker, and they were all quite tall.
As the caravan traveled down the street, Qin Wanying sat in the carriage and saw a large crowd gathered in front of her.
Then I heard two people talking under the carriage.
The language spoken by the Ke people was the same as that of Da Yao, only with a foreign accent. Qin Wanying listened carefully and could understand what the two were saying.
"The Fourth Princess has fallen seriously ill, and the imperial physicians in the palace are helpless. His Majesty has posted an imperial edict, seeking skilled physicians to treat the princess's illness. Whoever can cure her will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and granted the title of Marquis."
Qin Wanying's expression turned serious.
So that's how it was? The plot has indeed moved up!
It seems bringing Fourth Brother along this time was the right decision!
Qin Yonghua and Qin Yunzhu, who were inside the carriage, also heard these words.
Fortunately, my younger sister was farsighted and brought Qin Yunzhu with her.
Qin Wanying glanced at her fourth brother beside her: "Fourth brother, you can definitely cure this illness. Go and accept the imperial edict."
Qin Yunzhu nodded.
Upon reaching the vicinity of the imperial edict, the three disembarked from the carriage.
The three members of the Qin family each possessed a distinct demeanor. Qin Wanying was charming and lovely, Qin Yonghua appeared calm and wise, and Qin Yunzhu was as pure and elegant as a breeze and the moon. On the streets of Keguo, these three extremely good-looking foreigners attracted almost 100% of attention.
The servant escorted Qin Yunzhu, clearing a path through the crowd so that she could walk to the very back and unroll the imperial edict.
When the crowd saw Qin Yunzhu walk in to take down the imperial edict, they gasped in surprise.
"This man from Dayao is so handsome!" came the woman's infatuated voice.
"Did someone actually answer the imperial edict? He looks very young. Many older doctors can't cure the princess's illness!"
At this moment, an old man next to her pressed down on Qin Yunzhu's hand.
Qin Yunzhu looked at the old man in confusion.
"Young man, you must read the information written on this imperial edict carefully. If you cannot cure him, you will go to jail!"
Qin Yunzhu knew that the old man was probably concerned about her, worried that she was a foreigner and didn't recognize the Khakas script.
In fact, the script of the Ke Kingdom and that of Emperor Yao were mutually intelligible and basically the same.
Qin Yunzhu was fully able to understand the meaning of the words on the imperial edict.
According to the imperial edict and what my younger sister had told me before, the Fourth Princess had been poisoned.
The reason why the king of Ke added the penalty of imprisonment for those who could not cure the disease was probably because the reward was too generous. With such a heavy reward, there would surely be brave men. So, he said that those who could not cure the disease would be punished, thus deterring those who did not have the real skills from trying.
However, I can cure myself, so I don't need to worry about going to jail.
"Thank you for reminding me. I can cure him," Qin Yunzhu said calmly, her eyes lowered.
Everyone thought this young man from Yao Kingdom was arrogant and ignorant, daring to accept the imperial edict at such a young age.
So many famous doctors in the Kingdom of Ke couldn't cure him, yet this young upstart can?
There were indeed people who wanted to try their luck in the imperial examinations, but they failed to cure the disease and were eventually punished.
Some people were even prepared to watch the joke unfold, eager to see when this arrogant brat would finally be locked up.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Yunzhu extended one hand and placed it on top of the imperial edict.
Almost simultaneously, another hand reached out and swiftly tore down the imperial edict.
Qin Yunzhu turned to look at the person who had accepted the imperial edict and frowned.
Before him stood a middle-aged man, whose skin color suggested he was from the Great Yao Dynasty. He carefully arranged the imperial edict in his hand, looked at Qin Yunzhu with a contemptuous smile, and said, "Sorry, young man, I'll take this edict. Go take it somewhere else!"
The imperial edict was posted in more than one place, so he could indeed uncover it from other places.
Qin Yunzhu looked at him quietly and then gently withdrew her hand.
The crowd erupted in discussion again.
"What happened? How did someone else uncover it?"
"I think that person is also from the Yao Kingdom. How come people from the Yao Kingdom are coming to our Ke Kingdom to freeload?"
Qin Yunzhu walked out of the crowd, and because of his attractive appearance, almost all the women's eyes were fixed on him.
When Qin Yunzhu returned, she found Qin Wanying and Qin Yonghua. "The imperial edict has been taken down, and the person looks very much like the one Wanying described."
Qin Wanying nodded.
She had just seen the person; she could see some things about his past, but she couldn't see any information about him that would be of any use in the future.
Because this person was sent by the male lead, Xiao Dongqian, and he couldn't see anything directly related to the male lead.
According to the plot of the book, the fourth princess of the Ke Kingdom fell ill.
This fourth princess was the only full sister of the King of Ke, and the King doted on her.
Otherwise, the imperial edict would not have been posted, offering a reward of ten thousand gold pieces and a title of nobility to anyone who could cure the Fourth Princess's illness.
Later, Xiao Dongqian's men answered the imperial edict and cured the fourth princess's illness. The king of Ke was deeply grateful and, through further efforts, Xiao Dongqian secured Ke's assistance.
What the King of Ke was unaware of was that all of this was orchestrated by Xiao Dongqian.
