Pieces of white paper fell from the sky and fell at Chu Yueqing's feet. She and her aunt were standing at the mouth of an alley, and there were bursts of crying from inside.

They traveled from the north of the city to Hongfang Street, and met three funeral families along the way.

And the symptoms of these three people before they died were exactly the same as those of the patients in front of the infirmary.

Mrs. Ou looked at a pair of children lying on the side of the corpse crying at the mouth of the alley, her heart shook suddenly, she hurriedly pulled Chu Yueqing into the carriage, and then said to the coachman: "Go to Dong'er's house." ”

Chu Yueqing sat on Mrs. Ou's side and held her hands tightly: "Auntie, aren't you worried about Xiaodong...?" ”

Mrs. Ou's lips were pursed tightly and she didn't say a word, but the hand that was grabbed by Chu Yueqing couldn't stop trembling.

Chu Yueqing didn't speak anymore, this place is very close to Xiaodong's house, if it is... Her heart lifted slightly, not daring to think deeply.

After about two quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped steadily at the door of Xiao's house, Chu Yueqing helped Mrs. Ou get down from the carriage, and when she entered the door, she saw that the little maid was sweeping the yard.

Chu Yueqing walked over and asked Ju Ying, "What about your wife?" ”

Ju Ying held a small wooden basin in her hand and said, "Madame is still sleeping." ”

"Sleep, then your lady had a feeling of discomfort yesterday?"

"Princess Hao, didn't you see Madame yesterday, Madame is in good health, she can eat and sleep, and there is no problem at all." Ju Ying said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ou's heart that had been carrying it was relaxed.

――

At the same time, on the temple of Jinluan.

Emperor Mo was at a loss, Nanling and Beimo were eyeing Daqi, Jiangnan and other places had just suffered drought and floods, but they didn't expect a large-scale plague to break out in the capital today.

Could it be that he is really exhausted?!

In just a few months, Emperor Mo's body has become worse and worse, and his body has gradually lost weight.

"Yang De, pass the decree to the Tai Hospital, let them leave ten people in the palace to stay in the palace and diagnose the pulse of the people in the harem one by one, and the rest of the people will go outside to diagnose and treat the people."

Gonggong Yang stood beside Emperor Mo, bent down and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

"Becoming a king—"

"The son is here."

"Together with the military department, you maintain order in the capital. Beware of the rumors of the people, destroying the foundation of our great Qi. You can't just use force to suppress it, and you can't hurt people's lives, you know? ”

"The retainers obey." King Cheng lowered his eyebrows and replied obediently.

The squire of the military department also came out and responded: "The minister obeys the order." ”

……

After Emperor Mo deployed the responsibilities of various ministries, his face was slightly tired. He lifted his spirit: "Okay, let's make this arrangement for the time being, and you will do it immediately." What is the progress of this epidemic, you can report to the palace at any time. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

The momentum of the answer is like a rainbow, and it is extremely loud. But after the court, after the hundred officials walked out of the Jinluan Palace, they gathered together in groups of three or five, chattering and discussing something.

"Lord Li, what do you think of this epidemic?"

"What do you think?" Master Li, who was called, walked very fast, and he said: "The emperor didn't tell me to wait for the junior officials to do things, I waited for me to go home and plug in the door, don't go out, and don't cause trouble to my colleagues in the military department." ”

"Then we don't need to help?"

"What are you helping, you don't want to die!" Master Li gave the man a blank look and left in a hurry.

The man thought about it too, so he followed Master Li's steps and went home.

At the gate of the palace, King Cheng said to the squire of the military department: "Please Lord Xie first summon the brothers of the military department to the city gate, and after half an hour, we will gather at the city gate." ”

Xie Shilang nodded and said, "In this way, the lower official will retire first." ”

Xuanyuan became the head of the jaw.

After Xie Shilang left, a secret guard appeared beside Xuanyuan Cheng and whispered in his ear for a while.

"What? Gu Ru is gone? Xuanyuan Cheng snorted: "Waste, what do you think?!" ”

The dark guard clenched his fists and said with a sigh: "Master, there are only a dozen of our brothers left now. The number of people who picked up Miss Guru was at least twice as many as ours, and besides, Miss Guru looked like she was willing to go with them, and it was really inconvenient for her subordinates and others to chase after her. ”

As he spoke, the dark guard took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Xuanyuan Chengdao: "This is a letter found in Miss Guru's room. ”

Xuanyuan Cheng took it and unfolded the letter. The handwriting on it is clearly visible, it is the letter that Gu Ru put on the desk: I am gone, don't look for it.

A breath of sullen suffocation froze on Xuanyuan Cheng's chest, and he recognized the handwriting on it, but it was Gu Ru's handwriting. Xuanyuan Cheng stared at the letter paper with fierce eyes, and after a while, he tore the letter very quickly, his hand was raised back, and the scraps of paper in the sky fell like rain: "Okay! Let's go, you all go! ”

Turning around, Xuanyuan Cheng entered the palace gate again, leaving the secret guard stunned at the palace gate. After a moment, a sneer appeared on his lips and he walked towards the street corner in front of him.

"How's it going, did you give him the letter?" A man leaned against the trunk of a tree and asked in a lazy tone.

"Given." The dark guard replied, and then asked, "Gu Ru is gone, and you won't let us chase after him." Then what if the Gu poison on our body attacks in the future? ”

"Heh~" The man chuckled, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and threw it casually: "This is the first batch of antidotes." ”

The secret guard hurriedly flew to catch the porcelain bottle, and his expression was cold: "The lives of my sister and brother are pressed on this bottle of antidote. If it doesn't work, I'll kill you with even the last breath. ”

The man didn't care, he didn't know where to fold a wicker stick in his hand, and he shook it carelessly: "The character of this son, I don't know how many times stronger than your prince!" ”

The Dark Guard snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Seeing this, the man looked at his back and said, "Today next month, we'll see you in Keshihai." ”

……

Xuanyuan Cheng entered the palace to find Concubine Hui, and when he came out again, there was no anger on his face, and his mind was already peaceful.

At least, that's what it looks like on the surface.

Xie Shide, the squire of the military department, had already assembled the soldiers of the military department and waited in line at the gate of the city, and Xuanyuan Cheng was late on horseback. When he arrived at the city gate, Xuanyuan Cheng dismounted, walked to Xie Shilang's side, and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

Xie Shilang said: "Back to the king, there are a total of 357 soldiers on duty in the military department, and all of them have arrived. ”

Xuanyuan Cheng said ungloriously: "So little? ”

The corners of Xie Shilang's mouth twitched, and he patiently explained: "There are a total of 1,873 soldiers in the military department, but they will patrol the 27th lane of the 10th street in the capital every day. ”

Xuanyuan Cheng's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "This king knows, but with such a small number of people, where is it enough!" ”

Xie Shilang hung his head and was silent.

He's also a long one, and you don't need to say this kind of thing if you don't have enough manpower! Even if you are the prince, then you have to combine the actual situation, and you want someone to go to Liu Heng, the leader of the Praetorian Guard! (To be continued.) )
