Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1549

Chapter 1549: Chapter 1544: Quick Thinking

Ironically, these members of the Imperial Clan call the commoners lowly, which might provoke their master.

"His Majesty sees the commoners as kin, yet you dare to wield such authority, calling them low. Under whose banner do you inflate your prestige?"

Xiao Rongyan’s voice was soft, his tone not severe, but it was enough to frighten these clan members into bowing immediately, declaring their fear.

"Let the General who guards the city step forward and speak..." Xiao Rongyan glanced at the clan members, his gaze shifting to the rear.

The General immediately stepped forward and said, "Reporting to... the Regent Prince, the Imperial Court initially ordered that, due to the rampant epidemic in our Yan Kingdom, precious medicines should not be sent to the cities of Zhou. Yet Zhu Chengru secretly colluded with the enemy, sending the scarce medicines from our Liyi to Anshun City, therefore..."

"Nonsense!"

The General hadn’t finished speaking when Yue Quanyong, kneeling behind, couldn’t hold back any longer, spitting on the ground and cursing before Xiao Rongyan’s face.

Xiao Rongyan looked at Yue Quanyong, quickly recalling who he was: "You are... from Xie Xun’s army."

Yue Quanyong saluted Xiao Rongyan and said, "Reporting to the Regent Prince, I was sent to deliver medicines to Liyi!"

"Speak..." Xiao Rongyan looked at Yue Quanyong.

"Reporting to the Regent Prince, this Zhu Chengru is the official in Liyi City. During the epidemic, he saved many commoners, later..." Yue Quanyong glanced at the imperial clan members, "These members of the Imperial Clan deliberately used some merchants, who unknowingly used teaware contaminated by infected people, bringing the epidemic to Anshun City! Resulting in Anshun City experiencing an epidemic. Zhu Chengru’s Yue family is in Anshun City, so Zhu Chengru sent medicines to his family once, just this once... He realized the epidemic originated from a feast by the clan in Liyi City. Thus, he sent herbs from his pharmacy to Anshun City! Only after that did the Imperial Court’s order prohibiting sending herbs to Zhou’s cities was issued. Zhu Chengru did not knowingly break the law!"

"You’re spouting nonsense!" One of the clan turned and pointed at Yue Quanyong’s nose, shouting, "The Imperial Court’s order came first, Zhu Chengru violated the order, colluding with the enemy afterward! You were not in Liyi City at the time, how can you speak so confidently without knowing anything?"

"You’re the one talking nonsense! I, Old Yue, never lie! If the Regent Prince does not believe me, you can ask the pharmacy staff, or personally interrogate the doctor named Zhu Chengru! See whether the Imperial Court’s order came first, or whether Zhu Chengru first disobeyed the order!" Yue Quanyong ignored the clan and only bowed to Xiao Rongyan, "Regarding the intentional act of infecting unaware Yan merchants, causing them to enter Anshun City, the guards at the city gate can all testify. Even I have heard those guards mention it many times, moreover, when people talk about that doctor, who doesn’t praise his benevolence and heart for healing?"
