216 Plague

Xi Ning was stunned for a moment: Chen Cang found the plague?

This is not good news, maybe it will be pushed to Hua Xu, saying that Hua Xu brought the plague.

"Hurry up and take me to see," Xi Ning stood up and walked out, the plague is such a thing, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes, "How many people have symptoms now, and what are the symptoms?" ”

Qingying is not Langzhong, and he can't answer.

Xi Ning had no choice but to run to the Chen Cang Yamen in one go.

There were many people of all ages standing in front of the yamen, all of whom wanted to squeeze in to see their relatives. But the government ordered them to be quarantined, and they were kept out by the officials.

Seeing this, Xi Ning turned his head and instructed Qing Yingqiu, who came with him: "You go and tell the prince of Yu, let him pacify the people, and leave the matter of healing to me." ”

Qingying hurriedly agreed.

Xi Ning turned around and entered the prefect's yamen through the back door.

"The face is red, sweating profusely, drinking cold, the tongue is red, and the pulse is pressed hard......" A gentle young woman is half-veiled, dressed plainly, and only the part above her eyes is exposed. After she looked at the patient, she fell into deep thought.

When Xi Ning heard the symptoms, he blurted out without thinking: "Summer abuse! ”

When the young woman heard this, she turned her head curiously, and saw a woman in an unassuming dress standing in the doorway, holding on to the doorframe. But when I took a closer look, I was shocked to realize what a gorgeous woman she was. Her facial features are delicate and delicate, but her expression is full of strong confidence, as if everything is under control.

Xi Ning ignored the young woman's surprised look and squatted down to check the patient's pulse in person.

After a while, she blurted out Fang Zi: "It's indeed summer abuse." Raw gypsum is fried in one or two first. Wine fried mother three money. Fresh bamboo leaves two coins. Black gardenia bark three money. Winter melon peel three money. Raw winter melon seeds four money. Fresh lotus stems are one foot five inches. [1]”

The young woman listened, thought for a moment, and couldn't help nodding in admiration: "The girl has a wonderful hand." Saying that, he instructed the maids beside him, "Qinlan, don't hurry up and let them decoct the medicine!" ”

Xi Ning smiled faintly: "This young lady has a good pulse, and the summary of symptoms is very good. ”

The young woman shook her head: "My name is Ning Xiaoshu, and my father is Langzhong, so I have learned some fur, and I can't call it a good pulse." I don't know who the girl is? "Obviously admire Xi Ning very much. Intentional acquaintances.

"Just call me Xi Ning." She estimated that ordinary people didn't know the name and surname of His Royal Highness Huaxu, so there was no taboo.

Ning Xiaoshu nodded, just about to say something. There was another commotion outside.

Xi Ning looked over suspiciously, and heard someone talking outside.

"What kind of Hua Xu is!"

"Without Huaxu, how can there be a plague!"

"Maybe Hua Xu did it on purpose and wanted to harm us!"

……

Xi Ning's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

She just wanted to rush out. Then I heard the commotion stop abruptly—

What happened again?

Xi Ning ran to the door.

"Who told you? Did Hua Xu harm you? Xia Yichen stood in front of the yamen and looked at everyone with a cold expression. It's a hot summer, but it makes people break out in a cold sweat.

Xia Yichen stretched out his right hand and turned: "His Royal Highness Hua Xu's Xi Ning is treating your relatives inside, if she deliberately makes you sick, why should she help you treat your illness?" ”

There was an inconspicuous voice in the crowd: "She heals the disease, maybe everyone who is good will be cured!" ”

Before the words fell, there was already a bloody killing to arrest the man.

Xia Yichen sneered: "Now that the yamen is surrounded by you, if His Royal Highness Hua Xu's Xining can't be cured." It's more than enough to be crushed three hundred times by you. If she deliberately harms you, why should she take this risk? As for this ill-intentioned person. Xia Yichen reached out and lifted his chin to prevent him from committing suicide or talking more nonsense, and then reached out and patted him on the back, only to see a poison spit out, "If it is a serious person, who will hide poison in his mouth?" ”

Everyone sighed.

"Therefore," Xia Yichen kicked the man down the stairs, "someone deliberately slandered Hua Xu, intending to make Hua Xu and I turn against each other and destroy diplomatic relations......

Xi Ning listened to a bunch of things behind the door, and the final result, there was no need to guess, it was Ling Chi again.

I said, Prince Yu, what kind of special habit is your old man, who likes to watch people being cut into sashimi?

Xi Ning sighed and turned back to the place where the patient was housed.

The medicine has been decocted and is being fed to these patients, but Ning Xiaoshu is standing in the corner, looking at Xi Ning with a little stunned - Hua Xu, Your Highness?

"Qin Lan," Ning Xiaoshu shouted, "You go and pass a message to your master," and then whispered to Qin Lan.

Not long after, when the people of Chen Cang were trembling and watching Ling Chi, a noble son appeared.

I saw that he was dressed unassumingly but not disrespectfully, his appearance was handsome and extraordinary, and he had the glory of a scholar.

"The plague has nothing to do with Hua Xu, I don't know which foolish person in Lu Dao spread the rumor. Everyone can rest assured, Humble Jing is assisting His Royal Highness Hua Xu in treating the disease and saving people, His Royal Highness Xi Ning has excellent medical skills, and has already prescribed medicine for the patient to take. Your loved ones will soon be healed. "The noble boy walked around and talked about it.

Xia Yichen, who was sitting in front of the yamen casually, tilted his head slightly and asked the official beside him: "Who is this son?" ”

"It is a famous family in Chen Cang, and it is also the home of poetry and etiquette, surnamed Shi. Although this son is young, he is already a man," the official said, "The Shi family has a good tutor, and he is willing to give, and he is a hundred miles away, and sometimes a sentence is more effective than those adults." His wife's surname is Ning, and after she is a famous doctor, she knows some Qihuang techniques and often treats people for free. ”

Xia Yichen nodded, and immediately sent a blood killer to find out the reason why the Shi family helped Xi Ning speak, and later had a meal with the people of the Shi family. Naturally, this is an afterword.

Besides, Xi Ning in the yamen left the prefect's yamen only after seeing that the patient was gradually improving.

"It's Mo Xuan's hands and feet," Xi Ning had already finished dressing up and changed his clothes, standing in Xia Yichen's courtyard, "I heard all the rumors you suppressed outside today, except for Mo Xuan, no one will benefit from this matter." ”

"I think the same way," Xia Yichen stood beside Xi Ning, "If it was an alliance of the officials of Chen Cang before, they should be against me and not against you." Only Mo Xuan, who is not happy to see you form an alliance with Daqian, will do this. ”

"It's just, doesn't he think the success rate is low? I happen to be well-versed in medicine, and he uses the plague, the source of which is water, and I have asked the prefect to put up a notice that the people should not drink raw water, eat raw food, and everything must be boiled before they can be eaten. However, I have easily cracked his ruse, has he set such a threshold for me? Xi Ning was a little skeptical.

Xia Yichen shook his head: "I'm afraid he doesn't care if he succeeds, he just wants us to mess up and make a mistake, so he can take the opportunity to do it." Knock you down in one fell swoop, he probably can't do it now. ”

Xi Ning gritted his teeth: "What's more, he has always been ruthless!" ”

"Xi Ning," Xia Yichen reached out and brushed her hair, sighing a little, "Don't embarrass yourself." ”

She smiled lightly: "Why bother, but can you not do human sashimi every time?" ”

Xia Yichen paused for a long time before she understood what she was talking about: "You, think I'm too ruthless?" He was a little apprehensive, he had always felt that it was angry for Xi Ning, and from what he knew about Xi Ning, she was not the kind of person who was full of kindness or afraid of such a bloody scene. But today, when Xi Ning talked to him about this for the first time, he was a little apprehensive - wasn't it, Xi Ning was actually not satisfied with doing this?

Xi Ning shook his head, with a hint of ridicule: "If you continue like this, your reputation will change from the first gentleman of the Great Cadre to the Jade-faced Hades, and you will become a thousand-knife killer." ”

Xia Yichen smiled: "What do others say is someone else's business, how can I change my reputation in the past?" As long as you can understand me. ”

"I, do I really understand you?" Xi Ning was a little unsure. She felt very strange that she and Xia Yichen didn't get to know each other for that long. Yet she always seemed to understand a little bit better, a little more than anyone else.

For what?

She couldn't tell what she was talking about.

Xia Yichen was very sure: "Xi Ning, don't doubt yourself. I hope that you will give me your heart, and give me all the things that offend people and the thankless things, and let me help you with confidence. But I know that it is just a luxury......" He sighed a little, and the playful hair scattered on his forehead rose slightly in the evening breeze, and the gloom of a young man.

Xi Ning couldn't bear to close her eyes.

She doesn't think she's a benevolent person. From Aunt Zhou, to Tian Qiumei's "father", to the later Lin Yuan, and even Xu Shangliang not long ago, she has never been merciful.

So why can't you bear it? Why?

In a daze, she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace, and the tip of her nose lingered with a fresh smell. In his ears was his extremely low voice: "I didn't tell anyone your identity, including the prince's cousin." Although I don't know what you want to hide from you, I will hide it for you. ”

Xi Ning was stunned, her thoughts in a mess.

Didn't tell anyone, including the prince?

She thought that he had already sent the news to the capital quickly, but who knew that he didn't say anything about it! ……

Is this statement true or false?

After a long period of deception, she no longer dared to trust others easily, especially those who were kind to her.

So, will Xia Yichen lie to her?

She suddenly found herself afraid to think about the question, yes, not dare.

Xia Yichen, she chewed on the name softly in her heart - that was her last point, hope and warmth.

After understanding this thought, she became even more frightened.

Is it the fear of losing, or the fear of possession?

Or it's all the same, people are afraid of having because they are afraid that they will lose it after they have it.

But people are always afraid of losing because of human greed.

"Xia Yichen," Xi Ning didn't push away such a warm embrace, "Xie Lu, thank you!" ”

What else could she say about his secrecy, his unconditional help, but to express her gratitude?

And she doesn't seem to be able to drag out the contradiction like this anymore, she has to make a choice.

The wind of the summer night, blowing.
