The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much

Chapter 111 Big Hole

Chu Ci slowly walked towards the crowd, and people outside were madly trying to get in.

When Chu Ci saw this situation, he felt that something was definitely wrong.

She looked around and found an old lady who looked like a gossip. She grabbed her arm and said, "Auntie, what happened?"

The old lady glanced at Chu Ci and swung her away vigorously, "You little girl, you don't know what happened, why don't you find a corner to stand in quickly, don't delay me from grabbing the herbs here."

Chu Ci was glad that he held on tightly, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the shake of this old lady.

Chu Ci quickly took out some small change and said, "Auntie, tell me what happened and this small change will be yours."

As soon as she saw the silver, the old lady turned back and retracted her forward leaning body. Even her original impatient look was replaced by a flattering one.

"The little girl is quite capable despite her young age. Come on, follow me to the side and I'll talk to you."

Chu Ci was left aside by the woman, and then she spoke, "Little girl, let me tell you, but your information is quite behind the times. When you have nothing to do, go to the streets and listen to the conversations of the ladies in the various families."

"I don't know when the news came in, saying that many people in the village not far from us have fallen ill, and the medicinal herbs they used are now very scarce. Everyone has been buying those herbs in advance, but now they are not available, and everyone is very panicked."

Chu Ci's face was serious. It seemed that this matter was really not simple. "Thank you, Auntie. Here is the money."

Chu Ci gave the money to the old lady and then went out the back door of Huichun Hall.

"Open the door, it's me."

The gatekeeper heard his mistress's voice and quickly opened the door.

He pulled Chu Ci in, stuck his head out, looked around, and when he saw that no one was following him, he closed the door with a bang.

"Miss, you are here. If you don't come, our shopkeeper will come looking for you."

Chu Ci strode inside, but before he even reached the door, he was suddenly pulled in by the shopkeeper.

"Miss, you are really brave. You dare to walk around on the street. When I came here this morning, I was almost stripped naked by those people outside."

Chu Ci shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm fine. They don't even know I'm the master of Huichun Hall."

The shopkeeper was speechless. The real owner was standing there without any problem, but he, the worker, almost had all his clothes stripped off.

"Okay, tell me what happened recently."

The shopkeeper poured tea for Chu Ci and then slowly told him the whole story.

"Master, actually, this matter is because there is a small town not far from us. I heard that an infectious disease broke out in that town. Although it is not a serious disease, the herbal medicine that can cure it is in short supply."

Chu Ci thought for a moment, "Where is the source of this disease?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the source. I heard that the doctor there also saw it, and the higher-ups also sent someone to investigate recently, but they couldn't find anything. Later, they realized it wasn't a serious illness, so they didn't investigate again."

"I now focus all my energy on treatment."

Chu Ci lay on the table, his hand resting on his chin. "I have a feeling that the source of this disease should not be simple."

"Okay, let's talk about the herbs. There shouldn't be any problem with them, so why are they so scarce?"

The shopkeeper walked directly to Chu Ci and knelt down, "Miss, we actually have these herbs in stock, and they are quite abundant."

"But a while ago, several of our herbal medicine merchants came to buy these herbs. The prices were really high. I thought I wouldn't need them often anyway, and new herbs would be ready soon, so I sold more than half, leaving only a small half."

"Who knew the disease would break out so suddenly? People listened to someone and said that drinking this medicine could prevent the disease, so they started hoarding the medicine. We couldn't keep up."

As soon as Chu Ci heard it, he knew that someone was causing trouble, and that every detail was calculated very accurately and on a large scale.

"Why didn't you inform me when something happened?"

The shopkeeper lowered his head and said, "Master, it was fine a few days ago. Our herbs were able to hold up until new herbs could be used. But, for some reason, today, so many people suddenly came. I was just about to look for you when you showed up."

Chu Ci helped the old shopkeeper up and said, "Okay, someone is causing trouble in this matter. You must pay attention next time. I will think of a solution. Bring me the abacus."

"How many days can the medicinal herbs last?"

The shopkeeper almost fell to the ground. "According to the way the people are looting, I'm afraid we can only hold out for one day. But sir, I heard that the medicine in that town will be stopped soon."

As a result, the abacus was smashed on the table, and the little medicine boy guarding the door outside knelt down.

After Chu Ci performed a few moves, the master of the abacus was furious.

Even if Chu Ci took out all his savings and added the money here, he could only last for two or three days, which was already the limit.

Chu Ci threw the abacus on the table and said, "Okay, get up now. It's already like this. From today on, this kind of medicinal material will only be sold for half a day every day, and it will be sold at the original price. It is clearly stated that the medicinal material must be shipped to those who are sick."

"If anyone is sick, ask the officials to bring the sick person here for treatment."

"I'll figure out the rest, you go ahead and do it."

Chu Ci walked out of Huichuntang and felt his head buzzing. This was a huge hole that ordinary people couldn't fill. Now, no one in the market sold this kind of medicinal material.

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Chu Ci was still some distance away from Prince Rui's mansion when the door of the mansion opened directly. The gatekeeper came forward to greet her, "Miss Chu, please come in. The prince said that you don't need to report your arrival."

Chu Ci was taken directly to the study by the maid. Looking at the empty study, Chu Ci was confused.

"Miss Chu, the prince said that there are many ministers in the front yard now, so you should wait for him in the study first."

"okay, I get it."

Chu Ci walked around King Rui's study and she finally understood why it was called a study. There were all kinds of books on every wall, covering all kinds of subjects.

Otherwise, all the princes are so knowledgeable and know everything. It seems that this is not innate.

Chu Ci looked at the wall of books. How does the saying go? I'm not afraid of people who are better than you, I'm just afraid of people who work harder than you.

Chu Ci picked up a book at random. He had nothing to do, so he thought it would be nice to flip through it.

The little maid came in with a teacup, and without paying attention, she bumped into Chu Ci who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

In a panic, Chu Ci thought about protecting the book, because the book could not be exposed to water.

The full cup of water was poured all over Chu Ci.

The little maidservant knelt down and said, "This slave deserves death."
