During the morning fast, Yuan Xuan didn't see Wang Jizhong, he asked the sergeants who stayed, and the sergeants said that Wang Jizhong was still sleeping. Yuan Xuan asked the sergeant to bring breakfast over and asked him to tell Wang Jizhong that he was going to invite him to a fast meal at noon.

But at noon, Wang Jizhong had not yet arrived, and Yuan Qian wondered in his heart: these soldiers are too careless, this little thing can't be done, this captive is really a crime, although the queen mother has a decree to let them take good care of it, but they are still abused.

Yuan Xuan sighed as he walked towards the guest house, and from afar he saw a sergeant walking briskly towards him, and when he saw Yuan Xu, he said, "Master, General Wang is sick and can't move in bed." ”

Yuan Xuan was taken aback, walked into Wang Jizhong's guest house in three steps and two steps, and saw a pile of bedding piled up on the bed, but did not see Wang Jizhong. Yuan Xuan walked to the side of the bed and saw Wang Jizhong curled up in the futon, shivering, a pair of teeth were fighting fiercely, and they rattled when they touched. Yuan Xuan stretched out his hand and touched Wang Jizhong's forehead, hurriedly withdrew his hand and came back, and said in a lost voice: "Why is it so hot?" ”

Yuan Xu asked the sergeant who took care of Wang Jizhong: "When did the general get sick?" ”

The sergeant shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's okay at night, the general can't sleep in the middle of the night, he gets up and walks outside the house for most of the night, and he only comes back to sleep at dawn. If the Queen Mother is to blame, how can the villain afford it? ”

Yuan Xu said: "Don't panic first, go to the palace to report General Wang's condition, and ask the palace to send an imperial doctor to treat General Wang." ”

The sergeant said yes again and again, and ran away. When the sergeant came to the gate of the palace, he hesitated, and when he saw the guard outside the door, he was first timid, and looked at it from a distance, and he met an acquaintance. But he is a sergeant, how can he usually have the opportunity to enter the palace, and he is not familiar with the palace at all, let alone having acquaintances in the palace. It made him desperate. At this time, he saw a palace person coming out of it, and vaguely recognized her as someone next to the Queen Mother, so he hurriedly greeted her and said, "Good morning Langjun." ”

The person who came was Kang Yanxin, glanced at the sergeant, and said, "Who are you and what are you looking for me for?" ”

The sergeant said, "May I ask if Lang Jun is from the Queen Mother's side?" ”

Kang Yanxin said: "I am the one who serves the Queen Mother's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, what is the matter with you?" ”

The sergeant said: "I am the sergeant who stayed to serve Wang Jizhong yesterday, Wang Jizhong is sick, I came to ask the Queen Mother what to do with Wang Jizhong?" ”

Kang Yanxin exclaimed: "I didn't do well yesterday, why did I get sick?" Are you seriously ill? ”

The sergeant said, "It looks heavy, I can't eat, I have a high fever." ”

"Ahh Kang Yanxin's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "You go back first, and I'll go and tell the Queen Mother." ”

Xiao Xuan was also taken aback when he heard that Wang Jizhong was sick, and hurriedly asked Kang Yanxin to go to Yelu for treatment, and asked Kang Yanxin to stay there to take care of Wang Jizhong.

Kang Yanxin thought that he had misheard and said, "Queen Mother, you let the slave take care of Wang Jizhong?" ”

Xiao Sui said: "Yes, don't you want to? ”

Kang Yanxin said: "Aren't there those sergeants to take care of it? ”

Xiao Sui said: "Those sergeants are rude people, how can they take care of the sick? You're fine, you're there, I'm at ease. ”

"He's a prisoner······ The Queen Mother exalted him too much, right? Kang Yanxin stood straight and refused to move.

Xiao Sui said, "What? Don't want to go? Look down on him? What happened to the captives? When the captives get sick, they are not cured? If you don't want to go, don't go, go home. ”

Kang Yanxin hurriedly said: "Just go to the slave and maid." ”

After that, Kang Yanxin came out of the palace gate, went straight to the Tai Hospital, found Yelu Dilu, and asked him to go to Kailong Temple with him.

Yelu Dilu recognized Kang Yanxin and said, "Miss Kang, you don't serve the Queen Mother, what are you letting me do in Kailong Temple?" I'm not a monk, I can chant sutras? ”

Kang Yanxin seemed to have a stomach full of resentment and said: "Who asked you to chant and chant Buddha, it's not that Wang Jizhong is sick, and the Queen Mother asked you to treat him." ”

Yelu Dilu said, "Wang Jizhong is sick? I'm going to heal, what are you going to do? ”

Kang Yanxin said angrily: "That captive somehow charmed the Queen Mother, and was so good to him, the Queen Mother asked me to serve him." ”

Yelu Dilu smiled: "Don't underestimate Wang Jizhong, beware that you will also be fascinated." ”

Kang Yanxin took a sip and said, "I will be fascinated by a captive, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

The two came to Kailong Temple, and the little novice entered the temple and led him to Wang Jizhong's room. Yuan Xuan was sitting on the edge of Wang Jizhong's couch, putting a wet hand towel on Wang Jizhong's head, and when he saw Yelu Dilu coming in, he hurriedly got up and gave up his seat. Yelu Dilu didn't have time to greet Yuan Xu, so he stared at the patient carefully. I saw Wang Jizhong's face pale, his eyes closed, curled up, his hands clenched into fists, and he held it in his arms. Yelu Dilu picked up the patient's hand, looked at the palm of his hand for a while, sniffed the smell on his hand, put his hand back in its place, pulled the futon, and covered it for Wang Jizhong. But then he was kicked away by the patient.

Yelu Dilu said to Kang Yanxin: "Cover him, don't let him get cold." ”

Kang Yanxin covered Wang Jizhong with a quilt, and after a while, he lifted it again.

Kang Yanxin simply lifted the quilt and said, "Why are you so difficult to serve, I will lift it for you." ”

Yelu Dilu hurriedly covered Wang Jizhong with the quilt and said: "Miss Kang, you must not be like this, the patient is suffering from the wind cold, it will be cold for a while and hot for a while, you must cover your sweat tightly, the illness can be cured, and you must not let him catch a cold again." ”

Kang Yanxin said coldly: "What do you think of yourself, it's so difficult to serve." ”

Yelu Di Lu was talking to Yuan Xuan about Wang Jizhong's condition, and when he saw Kang Yanxin's anger, he said: "Miss Kang, you can use snacks, the patient is having a high fever and can't stand the cold, and now the disease is still on the skin, if it is cold, the disease will be in the heart, and it will be difficult to treat." ”

Yuan Xuan hurriedly asked, "What kind of disease does General Wang have?" ”

Jelu Dilu said: "It is caused by the cold, but it is not the root of the disease, but mainly because the qi is stagnant between the chest and ribs, so that the food accumulates in the abdomen, and it is impossible to defecate, causing fever. Caused by melancholy. ”

Yuan Xu asked: "But it matters?" ”

Jerudrus said, "It doesn't matter, I gave him the medicine I prescribed, let him take it, and when he can defecate, he will be fine." ”

Yuan Xuan put his mind at ease and recited the sentence "Amitabha." ”

Yelu Dilu said again: "My medicine is a bit fierce, it will have diarrhea, you have to take care of it carefully, if there is anything inconvenient, the queen mother's face is not good." ”

Yuan Xuan said again and again: "The poor monk will definitely take care of it." ”

Yelu Dilu said: "In the end, General Wang is still sick with his heart and needs to be resolved. ”

Yuan Xuan said: "What the medical officer said is that General Wang is really pitiful, he originally had a warm and perfect home, his wife is virtuous, his children are well-behaved, and he is happy with his family." However, in order to save the people of that city, he abandoned his family and children and came to Khitan to be a prisoner. ”

Yelu Dilu said: "I have also heard about Wang Jizhong, and he is worthy of a big husband. ”

Kang Yanxin said: "Is he really willing to stay to save the people? ”

Yelu Dilu said: "This will not be fake, in fact, it is a coincidence, it happened that it was the Queen Mother's Christmas, and the Queen Mother intended to let go of the tens of thousands of people, so she let Wang Jizhong stay in exchange for the lives of the people in the city." ”

Kang Yanxin said: "Speaking of which, the Queen Mother is still merciful, what is the matter with him?" ”

When Kang Yanxin said this, he couldn't help but feel some pity for Wang Jizhong in his heart. She took the prescription prescribed by Yelu Dilu, and hurriedly asked the sergeant to go to the street to grab the medicine, and then tortured it with her own hands. And always follow Yelu Dilu's instructions, cover Wang Jizhong with a quilt, and don't let him suffer a little cold.

Wang Jizhong has been in a coma, and Kang Yanxin looked anxious, for fear that he would fall asleep like this. In that case, how can you explain it to the Queen Mother? She didn't understand why the Queen Mother would let her serve this captive, even if he was capable, he was still a captive. I can't let her, the gentleman, serve him. Although he is not a Khitan, he is also a famous family in the Khitan, and he has entered the palace since he was a child, served the Queen Mother, and was deeply favored by the Queen Mother. Now, to take care of this captive is too much of a loss of identity.

But as soon as she saw the drowsy Wang Jizhong, Kang Yanxin felt pity again, she was originally kind-hearted and couldn't see people suffering. When I remembered that Wang Jizhong was now alone in a foreign land, with no relatives, he was sick, and he lacked soup and medicine, although he was taken care of by a sergeant, but those rude people could not even serve hot water, how could this make the patient bearable. Seeing that the patient had lost a lot of weight in the past two days, Kang Yanxin felt distressed when he looked at it, and wished that the decoction would be fried as soon as possible, so that Wang Jizhong could drink it and the medicine would be cured. Wang Jizhong is well, and she can return to the Queen Mother as soon as possible.

Wang Jizhong drank the decoction, and after a while, he only heard a gurgling sound in his stomach, and he hurriedly screamed to clean himself. Kang Yanxin hurriedly asked the sergeant to help him go to the toilet, at first he could lie down for a while to go to the toilet, and later, he ran into the toilet almost without touching his feet, and in the end, he was so tired that he could only be carried back by the sergeant, weak as a ball of mud. The pants were also stained with some dirt and the stench was unpleasant. Kang Yanxin ordered the sergeant to change his pants. Wang Jizhong hurriedly protected him, and he didn't let the sergeant take off his pants. Kang Yanxin pulled his hand away, the sergeant took off his pants, and Kang Yanxin picked it up and washed it by the stream. When he went back, Wang Jizhong glanced at her, turned his head and pulled the quilt over his head.

By the evening, Wang Jizhong's condition had improved, he was awake, and his stomach was no longer pulling. Kang Yanxin fed him a bowl of goat's milk, and Wang Jizhong gradually felt that he had some strength.

Kang Yanxin saw that Wang Jizhong's health was improving, looked at the sky, and saw that the twilight clouds were four, and the sky quickly darkened. She felt that she should go back, so she told the sergeants a few words, asking them to take good care of Wang Jizhong and prepare to return to the palace on an errand. As soon as she walked out of Kailong Temple, she felt inappropriate again, and she was uneasy, Wang Jizhong was like that-his body was still very weak--he left like this-would the Queen Mother be to blame? I shouldn't blame him, he's just a captive, and besides, I can't let a girl take care of him at night. Thinking of this, Kang Yanxin couldn't help but warm his heartbeat, just now, he also changed his clothes for him, at that time, he was in a hurry, just caring about letting him sleep cleanly and dress cleanly, and he didn't think about anything, but now, his heart was beating suddenly when he thought about it.

Kang Yanxin stood at the gate of Kailong Temple, hesitated for a while, and walked quickly to the palace.
