"It's different. After listening to Yun Ruochen's words, Chu Xiaoxiao said without thinking.

Yun Ruochen couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Then you can tell me, what is different about this king from others?"

Chu Xiaoxiao opened a pair of big black and white eyes, and immediately said after Yun Ruochen's words were finished: "You are different from others in my heart. ”

As soon as the words fell, the two of them were stunned at the same time, even Chu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that she would say such a thing, and she became a little annoyed for a while.

"Ahem...... Why is it so hot in here......"

After a full quarter of an hour, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly reacted, reached out and patted her slightly red cheek, looked at Yun Ruochen and said, "That...... It's too hot here, I'll go out and cool off first......"

After speaking, without waiting for Yun Ruochen to say anything, Chu Xiaoxiao walked out quickly as if she had a soldering iron on her buttocks.

When she walked to the door, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what she came here for, and looked back at Yun Ruochen a little unnaturally and said, "By the way, the plague in Yongzhou this time is very unusual, and my father has not yet found a cure, you ...... Be careful in Yongzhou City and don't walk around. ”

After this sentence was finished, Chu Xiaoxiao left without looking back.

In the next few days, the plague in Yongzhou City still did not find a solution.

Chu Xiaoxiao followed Chu Ci's side, and also looked at it a little, and found that the symptoms of the so-called people who were infected with the plague seemed to be the same as the plague, but in fact, there were some differences.

But anyone who is infected with the disease, first coughs, then febrile convulsions, and after a few days there will be some dark spots on the body, like the corpse spots of a dead man, and then they will slowly die in pain.

They have been in Yongzhou City for half a month, and although Chu Ci has also prescribed a prescription that can treat this epidemic, the medicinal materials in it are extremely precious, and ordinary people can't afford to use them at all. Such a prescription is simply difficult to implement in front of tens of thousands of infected people in Yongzhou City.

And now, the medicinal materials in Yongzhou City, including several nearby states and counties, are all monopolized in the hands of a few wealthy merchants, and the price is several times higher than usual.

Even if Chu Ci had a prescription that could delay and prevent the epidemic, ordinary people would not be able to afford it.

At this time, Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Ci were observing the people who were infected with the epidemic outside the city.

At this time, it was the middle of August, and although Yongzhou City was in the north, it was inevitably hot at such a time, which was more conducive to the spread of epidemics.

"Daddy. Chu Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground, while checking the pulse of a little boy in rags, she turned her head to look at Chu Ci and said, "Have you noticed that most of the people infected with the epidemic are people from poor families?"

Chu Xiaoxiao had already discovered this, and the people who were infected in the city were all ordinary people without exception.

Officials and gentry like Lin Xie are still drunk and happy at this time.

When Chu Ci heard Chu Xiaoxiao's words, he sighed helplessly and said: "All the rich and noble, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all fine, and there are few people who have direct contact with the common people, so there are naturally fewer diseases." ”

"Is that so?" Chu Xiaoxiao frowned, obviously still a little confused, but she couldn't tell where the wrong thing was.

Chu Ci bent down and handed a bag of grain to the little boy who had just been taken by Chu Xiaoxiao, and then said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, it seems that there will be no progress today, let's go back." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao also knew that it was indeed useless for them to stay outside the city, so she could only get up and say to Chu Ci: "Dad, this time Your Majesty issued a death order, if you can't solve the plague in Yongzhou City, I'm afraid it will be ......."

In this era, whenever there is a major natural disaster, such as plague and earthquake, the people of the country will think that it is the result of the emperor's unkindness and the sins of heaven.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has just held the Wanshou Festival, there is a plague in Yongzhou City, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

If the plague in Yongzhou City continues like this, His Majesty will have no choice but to issue an edict.

Those of them who were sent by His Majesty to solve the plague will inevitably become His Majesty's punching bag.

Although Chu Xiaoxiao is not good at camping these things, it is a matter of life and death for herself and her relatives, and Chu Xiaoxiao still sees the current situation very clearly.

However, what Chu Xiaoxiao could think of, how could Chu Ci not think of it?

After hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words at this time, Chu Ci could only sigh helplessly again: "With my life, I will naturally not hesitate, but if I can't save the people of Yongzhou City, and watch tens of thousands of people die of the epidemic, and I can't do anything, I'm just afraid that I will be uneasy in this life." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say.

Compared with a worldly miracle doctor like Chu Ci, she is a layman.

Seeing the tragic situation of the people in Yongzhou City now, even though she was moved, it was impossible for her to put these people who had nothing to do with her in the first place in the highest position.

Compared with these ordinary people who have nothing to do with her, Chu Xiaoxiao is most worried about Chu Ci.

In the final analysis, as Chu Ci said before, she does not have the heart to help the world as a healer.

"It's going to be fine. After a long time, Chu Xiaoxiao reluctantly said: "With my father's medical skills, if even my father can't treat these people, then who in the world can break this plague?"

Chu Ci sighed and nodded his forehead helplessly, "You can speak." ”

Chu Xiaoxiao grinned, stuck out her tongue at Chu Ci and said, "It's not like I'm saying good things, Dad, you are originally a miracle doctor." ”

After going back, Chu Ci didn't leave the post house for a few days, and Chu Ci didn't go out, so Chu Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't follow other imperial doctors to get out of the city.

So in the past few days, Chu Xiaoxiao and Yun Ruochen have been in the same post house, and they have seen each other a lot more.

Although she was still very embarrassed about what happened before, Chu Xiaoxiao was still worried about Yun Ruochen's body.

She didn't forget that when she was in the capital before, Yun Ruochen just accompanied her to have a meal in Tianyi Pavilion, and she fell ill when she went back.

Now that he is out of the house, Yongzhou is in such a situation, isn't it fatal for Yun Ruochen? !

After worrying for several days, Chu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help it and quietly sneaked into Yun Ruochen's residence again.

When Chu Xiaoxiao jumped in from the window, Yun Ruochen was holding a book in his hand, and when Chu Xiaoxiao was so frightened, the book in Yun Ruochen's hand fell to the ground in an instant.

"Oh, don't be so nervous. Chu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and picked up the book that Yun Ruochen had dropped on the ground, patted the dust on it and returned it to Yun Ruochen, complaining in her mouth: "You are all reading here leisurely, and you don't look for me." ”
