Chapter 1032: The Plague (2)

Xu Cang didn't mind the foolish eyes of the imperial doctors, and repeated: "I'll go." ”

Xu Cang won the trust of the emperor and queen, and his status in the Tai Hospital was transcendent. The envoy of the Yin Yuan had been jealous of him for a long time, but he did not dare to show it. On weekdays, he even shows favor everywhere, and often sticks his hot face to Xu Cang's cold buttocks.

Now that Xu Cang himself is going to die, of course Yin Yuan is willing to do it.

"Mrs. Xu is benevolent, noble, and admirable. Yin Yuan's envoy had an impassioned look on his face, praising Xu Cang as if there was nothing in the sky and no in the earth.

Xu Cang listened impatiently to this, and said lightly: "I'll go and prepare the medicinal materials in the medicine box first, and there are nine imperial doctors to go with me, and the envoy of the Yin Academy still wants to pick who to go to!"

After saying that, he left.

That's it!

The envoy of the Yin Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, and quickly moved his gaze to the group of imperial doctors.

Time is urgent, and the doctors can't be allowed to dodge and excuse themselves. The envoy of the Yin Yuan quickly pointed out nine imperial doctors with "superb medical skills" and "noble medical ethics".

Unfortunately, these nine imperial doctors are all unwilling to meet the horses or have some festivals with the envoys of the Yin Yuan on weekdays.

The imperial doctors who were named couldn't see where to go, but they didn't dare to disobey their orders, and responded with a gloomy face.

……

Ten imperial doctors left Beijing in the afternoon of the same day. Accompanying the Tai Doctors, there were also several truckloads of precious and rare medicinal materials brought out from the warehouse of the Tai Hospital.

The doctors are not too young, and Xu Cang, who is about forty years old, is already young and strong. On weekdays, I stay in the palace one by one, and I have no time or energy to practice riding, and riding a fast horse is just a luxury. Only horse-drawn carriages can be used.

Fortunately, the official road is flat, and the carriages are all horses in the palace, and the speed is not slow.

At this rate, it will take more than half a month for the imperial doctors to rush to the border.

In the past half a month, have the military doctors in the border army been able to suppress the spread of the plague?

This question lingered in the hearts of the ministers, and it also weighed heavily on Xiao Xu's heart.

This night, Xiao Xu and his ministers discussed the military, and it was not until the time of the child that he returned to the Jiaofang Hall with slightly heavy steps. As expected, Gu Wanning really hadn't slept yet, and sat quietly on the edge of the bed waiting for him to return.

Xiao Xu's expression was solemn, and Gu Wanning didn't go anywhere easily.

In the previous life, there was no such war, and certainly not this sudden plague. If the plague breaks out completely in the barracks, I don't know how many soldiers will die.

How will this battle continue?

The two looked at each other for a moment, and sighed softly in unison.

"A-Ning, you don't have to worry. Xiao Xu cheered up and said, "Xu Cang has already led a group of imperial doctors to the border pass. With Xu Cang's medical skills, he will definitely be able to develop a prescription to relieve the plague. ”

How subtle Xu Cang's medical skills are, of course Gu Wanning knows it. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "healing the dead and living white bones".

"On weekdays, Xu Cang is by your side, ready to condition your body at any time. When he left, I always felt a little unsure. Gu Wanning frowned slightly and whispered: "Xiao Xu, I have been a little flustered today, and I always feel a little uncomfortable. ”

It seemed that danger was coming, and she was unaware of it.

Xiao Xu smiled and reassured: "You are pregnant, and it is inevitable that you will be emotionally sensitive and fragile. I wanted to keep it a secret, but I'm afraid you'll be even more angry when you find out later. Only then did the little nobleman go back to the Jiaofang Hall to deliver the letter. ”

"You put the fetus first, and I and the ministers have to worry about these things. ”

Then, half-jokingly, he said: "If I have three longs and two shorts, I have to ask the Empress Dowager Gu to go out again." ”

Gu Wanning glared: "Nonsense! Only the queen who has died of her husband will be the queen mother! Do you want to leave our mother and son behind?"

Such a joke is not funny at all!

Xiao Xu saw Gu Wanning with a tense face and was angry, and suddenly felt speechless, and hurriedly smiled and apologized: "It was my slip of the tongue for a while, and I also asked the queen mother to be a lot, don't be surprised." ”

Gu Wanning snorted lightly and twisted his head to the side.

Xiao Xu followed and continued: "If the queen mother is not angry, she can only punish her, and the little one will never complain." ”

No matter how angry you are, you can't get out of it in the face of such a courteous cheeky face.

Gu Wanning gently smacked him, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

……

The husband and wife laughed a few words, and their originally depressed mood eased a little.

Xiao Xu hugged Gu Wanning, stroked her bulging belly with his left hand, gently rubbed her soft green silk with his right hand, and sighed in a low voice: "God don't bless me! Seeing that the war gradually gained the upper hand, there was another plague in the army. I don't know how many soldiers will die innocently. ”

"Maybe it's because my rebirth has exhausted God's protection for me. ”

Xiao Xu's voice was full of pain and self-blame.

Gu Wanning felt sorry in his heart, and said softly: "Xiao Xu, you don't have to blame yourself. This war started because of the ambition of Xiao Rui's brothers and sisters, and because the Tubo and Turks have always been eyeing our Great Qin, so they will jointly attack Great Qin under the instigation. What does it have to do with you?"

"There are many people in the army, and it is easy to get sick. There have been precedents of plagues before, and death is inevitable. However, as long as it is properly controlled, it will not spread in the barracks. ”

"Now that Xu Cang has rushed to the border to develop a prescription, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Xiao Xu cheered up and nodded: "Don't worry about it." The eldest brother is the main general in the army, and he will not have direct contact with the soldiers who are suffering from the plague. ”

However, Shen Jinyan said that as a military doctor, his medical skills are very clever, and he can't hide at this time.

Xiao Xu didn't say these words, how could Gu Wanning not know?

It was this incident that worried her the most.

"Ah Yan has studied medicine for many years, and he knows how to protect himself. ”

Gu Wanning said this, quite self-comforting. In fact, Shen Jinyan was not the only one who worried her: "Ji Tong fought at the border pass, and now Xu Cang has gone to the border pass again." If they make a mistake, the Master does not know how sad he will be in his heart. ”

Xiao Xu kissed Gu Wanning's forehead, and pretended to smile lightly: "You still let me not think about it." I see, you have more than I think. From now on, neither of us will mention this. Go to bed early!"

Gu Wanning hummed softly, and Xiao Xu went to the bed and fell asleep with each other.

……

It's easy to say, but how can such an important matter be easily put down?

This night, Xiao Xu almost didn't sleep all night.

He didn't want to wake up Gu Wanning in his arms, and kept the same posture. When he got up the next morning, Xiao Xu's whole body was sore and numb. When your feet hit the ground, the taste is even more indescribable.

Gu Wanning was still asleep and did not wake up.

Xiao Xu didn't wake her up, and quietly walked out of the dormitory.

Before he could go to court, the battle report of the border army had already arrived.

The plague was fierce and difficult to control for a while. The number of people who died of the plague in the army has numbered in the hundreds.
