Chapter 55: The Plague
Ling Yu bowed at the corners of his lips and said,
"Young grandma is polite. Since the third lady is back, Ling Yu didn't bother much, and came to visit again the next day, so she said goodbye. ”
As Ling Yu left, Ling Lang and Feng Ze also left with a group of guards.
Mrs. Qi looked in the direction of the door, stood quietly for a while, and then said to herself,
"I didn't expect the news of Shuntianfu to be well-informed, and as soon as I came back, I rescued people. ”
Bao Qi's heart moved when he heard this, and secretly said that Mrs. Qi really had some suspicions, and then heard Mrs. Qi continue,
"Baochai, tomorrow I will send some gifts to the Ling Mansion, and thank you for this life-saving grace. ”
Bao Qi held his breath and responded obediently,
"Yes, auntie. ”
……
In the backyard, Qi Rong was sitting at the desk, staring at the book in his hand seriously, if it weren't for the sound coming from his side, it would almost be difficult to find that there was still a half-kneeling person there.
After listening to the details of the man in black, Qi Rong stared at the book and was silent for a moment before he said slowly,
"Over there in Luozhou, have you sent enough manpower?"
"Returning to the Lord, a total of twenty dead soldiers have been sent, and no one will find out. Yuyang's side also sent someone to bring the news, and Ling Feng and the two of them will be able to bring people back today. ”
Qi Rong continued to stare at the book in his hand, his face was pale and his expression was light,
"On the Luozhou side, in addition to not being discovered, things must also be brought back. ”
The man in black replied in a firm voice,
"Yes!"
"The news from the palace has been brought. ”
"Back to the Lord, they were all scattered. ”
Qi Rong lowered his eyes, turned the page quietly, and heard Yun'er's invitation outside,
"The young grandmother is back. ”
Bao Qi answered, and without saying much, Yun'er stepped forward to open the door.
Qi Rong sat at the desk gently, his eyes were warm, he let go of the book in his hand, raised his eyes and said with concern,
"What's going on, there's any news from Yuyang?"
Bao Qi looked at Qi Rong Zhengse,
"Zhu'er was rescued, and the people were caught, and the people who saved them were a son surnamed Ling and Feng, you know. ”
Qi Rong's face was slightly surprised, with a hint of joy,
"Of course I know, since I was rescued, then I am relieved, so that my father can return earlier. ”
Bao Qi stared at Qi Rong seriously, wanting to see something strange, but in the end he only saw his gentle and warm face, Bao Qi opened his eyes lightly, and continued to say,
"I have already sent someone to ask for a doctor, and I have also instructed my subordinates to go to Xiangguo's Mansion to deliver a letter, and it is estimated that it will not be long before my father and second son will be able to return. ”
Qi Rong nodded, "That's good, by the way, it just so happens that I'm almost on the day of the consultation, so it's better to ask Mr. Gongsun to come earlier, and I just happened to show Zhu'er." ”
Bao Qi nodded, blinked and made an idea, and called out the door,
"Lan'er. ”
As soon as the words fell, the two maids waiting outside the door came in, and Helan was also very well-behaved, and bowed softly.
"What do you command, young master, young grandmother? ”
Bao Qi commanded very seriously,
"You go to the lady's room to spread the word, and say that the eldest young master is not feeling well, and I want to invite Mr. Gongsun to come to the house earlier, so that I can show the young lady. ”
Helan lowered her head and answered obediently, and followed the instructions to the front yard.
Yun'er didn't say much, waited for Bao Qi to finish his instructions, closed the door again, and retreated to the door to wait.
Qi Rong saw that Bao Qi deliberately sent Helan over, knowing that she deliberately followed Mrs. Qi's wishes and asked the Netherlands to deliver a letter over there, he sighed slightly in his heart, and said in a soothing voice,
"There's news from the Hua family. ”
Bao Qi's complexion changed significantly, and his voice was nervous,
"How's it going? They're alright?"
Qi Rong saw that Bao Qi only brought some concern and nervousness when he mentioned the Hua family, and said in a deep voice,
"They're all right, it's just ...... The Hua family doesn't seem to have any relatives surnamed Jane. ”
Bao Qi's heart was cold, and he squinted his eyes and swept towards Qi Rong, his expression had already calmed down.
"You check me?"
Qi Rong said in a downward voice,
"It's not that I deliberately want to investigate, it's that there is a plague in the village, and many people are not allowed to approach, so I found the Hua family and inquired about it, and got it from the words of the neighbors. ”
Bao Qihu glanced at Qi Rong suspiciously, and didn't fully believe this explanation, but at this time, she was distracted by another news, and she didn't care about the truth of this statement.
"Plague?!You say Beixing is making a plague?, aren't Uncle Hua, Aunt Hua and Sister Hua Xi...... How can it be nothing!"
Bao Qi now knows why Qi Rong said that he was okay for the time being, but he actually caused a plague!
She knew how dangerous the plague of ancient times was, and once it was infected, it was basically too late to treat it, and it would expose the corpses to the wilderness, and everyone would be in danger...... The more Bao Qi thought about it, the more worried he became, not to mention that Aunt Hua's health was not good, even if she left enough money, she couldn't stop the plague and medical conditions of this era.
Qi Rong saw Bao Qi frowning, and his face became more and more uneasy, so he had to comfort,
"This plague, fortunately, the area of infection is not very large, the imperial court has allocated funds to deal with it, and it is estimated that it will be able to control it soon, and the Hua family will be safe and sound. ”
Bao Qi became more and more worried about the medical level in ancient times, which time the plague court did not allocate funds, and which time there were fewer people dying, thinking of this, he was even more determined to look at Qi Rong Dao,
"I want to go back to Hua's house, take a look at it and rest assured!"
Qi Rong coughed twice uncomfortably, and said in a false voice,
"Now the plague has just risen outside the capital, and in order to prevent the spread of the plague, many villages and counties have been placed under martial law, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enter it for a while. ”
Bao Qi took a deep breath and said angrily in his heart,
"Martial law?!What about their medical treatment and medicine, can the imperial court govern it?"
Qi Rongshen's face was warm and pale, and his eyes were helplessly reassuring,
"It is said that the imperial doctor has been sent and the herbs have been delivered, and once it has an effect, the guards will be withdrawn. ”
Bao Qi was a little relieved at this time, but when he thought of the helplessness of the plague in ancient times, his heart began to rise again,
"The Hua family has saved my life, if I can't ensure their safety, how can I stay here with peace of mind. ”
Qi Rong sank his breath and said,
"Someone is already keeping an eye on that side, and if something happens, they will definitely report it back. ”
Bao Qi knew that Qi Rong was also seriously ill and difficult to recover, if there was really a better way, it would not be like this so far, but the worry in her heart became stronger and stronger, and it was not good to force the other party too much, it seemed that if she wanted to go out, she still had to rely on herself.
The two were talking, there was a soft sound outside the door, Qi Rong coughed a few times in discomfort, Bao Qi glanced at him worriedly, and said in a steady voice,
"Is Lan'er back, come in. ”
The voice stopped immediately, and the maid outside the door hurriedly answered, and then gently pushed the door open, and came in with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes to reply.
