Crazy or What? The Gloomy Prince Kisses Me to Tears Every Night! Chapter 254 - 243: Bai Susu Alone Takes All the Glory—How Ca

Pri Minister Bai was not at all surprised by Feng Qingyang’s summons. With a pale face and hurried deanor, upon entering the Imperial Study Room, Pri Minister Bai imdiately knelt before Feng Qingyang with a guilty expression, "Your Majesty, this old minister pays his respects. I am at fault and have betrayed your trust. I failed to instruct Susu in advance not to ntion a word about the antidote before your orders were issued, leading to the situation where the antidote’s existence was leaked for unknown reasons, and so many people learned that Susu had it, causing the current predicant."

Upon hearing these words, Li Cheng, who was already grimacing in pain, instantly felt as if he had been shot in the knee again.

He suspected Pri Minister Bai of doing it on purpose!

Sure enough, in the next mont, Li Cheng saw Feng Qingyang coldly glaring at him, making him even more anxious and not daring to breathe.

Then, Feng Qingyang suppressed his inner frustration and said to Pri Minister Bai, "This matter is inherently due to internal mismanagent in the palace. What does it have to do with Miss Bai? However... why did she distribute those dicines for free?"

If all the infected were citizens of Da Qin, distributing dicine for free might not be unacceptable.

But the problem now is that more of the infected are foreign envoys.

Giving them free dicine, isn’t that missing an opportunity to make a profit?

Bai Susu is truly lofty to the point of being a bit foolish.

...

Pri Minister Bai, hearing Feng Qingyang’s words, imdiately understood his thoughts.

The next mont, he said with a troubled look, "These antidotes were painstakingly developed by Susu, and the Bai Family spent quite a sum on it. Reasonably, it shouldn’t be distributed for free to treat people."

"But Susu, that child..."

At this, Pri Minister Bai couldn’t help but sigh.

Then he cautiously said, "But Susu thought that, after all, it’s the ti of the Great Assembly now, and since our Da Qin is the head of the myriad nations, naturally we should show a far superior front to other countries!"

"So when Susu was surrounded, she had no choice but to co up with such a thod. Though it isn’t perfect, it can still demonstrate Da Qin’s capability and magnanimity in such special tis."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang’s eyebrows imdiately relaxed a lot.

What he said wasn’t without reason.

Although the epidemic ca quickly and fiercely, Da Qin’s response was swift, and a solution to the epidemic was found in just a few days.

A matter like this, once spread, was enough to show all under heaven Da Qin’s prowess!

When that ti cos, would those from regions outside Da Qin not be enamored by his nation?

For a mont, Feng Qingyang’s tone softened, smiling as he said, "It’s comndable that she could calmly think of such a good solution at that critical mont!"

Upon seeing this, Li Cheng couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Then he quickly glanced at Pri Minister Bai with imnse admiration.

As expected of Pri Minister Bai.

With just a few words, he managed to delight the emperor.

Though it could be considered flattery, who could bla Pri Minister Bai for knowing exactly how to flatter?

Though he didn’t directly praise the emperor, he sang Da Qin’s praises throughout.

And since Da Qin was the emperor’s realm, if others praised Da Qin, wasn’t that equivalent to praising his managent as emperor?

This way, he might avoid a round of punishnt.

...

At this point, Pri Minister Bai nodded and sighed, "Your Majesty’s words are spot on. Her thod, though too straightforward and simple, was sowhat effective. However, she’s rely a young maiden, and with her wedding to the Crown Prince imminent, it’s truly not appropriate for her to be in the lilight at this ti."

"Therefore, this old minister wishes to implore Your Majesty, during these few days, to send a few more Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital to learn from Susu on how to administer acupuncture. The Imperial Physicians are all outstanding in dical arts; I’m confident they would quickly learn the technique and could then treat the citizens, while Susu can peacefully stay ho as the new bride."

This proposal hit right at Feng Qingyang’s heart.

For such a great rit as resolving the epidemic, if all the credit were given to Bai Susu alone, what would that look like?

Could it be that the nurous Imperial Physicians are inferior to a maiden like Bai Susu?

Soon, Feng Qingyang couldn’t help but show an obvious smile.

Then he said, "What Pri Minister Bai says is correct. It so happens that Old Imperial Physician Ming is considered Miss Bai’s ntor. Their collaboration would avoid so rumors, so why not let him take charge of this matter."

This would also spare Old Imperial Physician Ming from harboring any grudges.

Upon Feng Qingyang’s words, Pri Minister Bai imdiately nodded in agreent and said, "It’s because of Your Majesty’s thorough thinking. I will now take my leave to instruct others to prepare."

Feng Qingyang humd and then looked at Li Cheng, "Whatever assistance Pri Minister Bai needs, inform Li Cheng. If he doesn’t fulfill it properly, I’ll have his head."

With these words, Pri Minister Bai couldn’t help but look at Li Cheng in surprise.

It was only then that he noticed Li Cheng’s expression seed unusual today—paler than usual.

Moreover, Li Cheng usually didn’t have such a lack of presence.

Recalling Feng Qingyang’s previous words, he understood that Li Cheng had offended Feng Qingyang, and quite seriously, otherwise Feng Qingyang wouldn’t threaten him with such words directly.

But he quickly returned to a normal deanor, nodding and saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then he addressed Li Cheng, saying, "Mr. Li, I’ll have to trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng hurriedly replied with a smiling face, "Pri Minister Bai is too polite—it’s all part of my duty."

"Then I shall take my leave." Pri Minister Bai then bowed and cupped his hands to Feng Qingyang.

"Mm, when Pri Minister Bai returns, take care of your health, and don’t overwork yourself. You are my most capable and trusted minister." Feng Qingyang then earnestly said.

Upon hearing this, Pri Minister Bai was imdiately moved and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Rest assured, I will take care of my health and devote myself to serving Your Majesty until my last breath!"

"Enough of this death talk, it’s inauspicious! You may leave." Feng Qingyang’s eyes crinkled with a smile.

Only then did Pri Minister Bai exit the Imperial Study Room.

...

Once Pri Minister Bai had left, Feng Qingyang retracted his smile and looked at Li Cheng.

"How credible do you think Pri Minister Bai’s words were just now?" Feng Qingyang inquired.

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng imdiately assud an earnest and cautious expression, saying, "This old servant finds the Pri Minister’s words credible. This ti it was indeed due to the news spreading too slowly, providing him no ti to instruct Miss Bai on how to respond, forcing her to impulsively choose to distribute the dicine for free."

"However, fortunately, the outco is positive, and Miss Bai has proven herself quite resourceful."
