Although the Queen Mother has ignored the harem for many years, she is also the one who laughs last in the walls of this bone palace.

She was silent, and only glanced at it lightly, which made Xihe panic in his heart, his body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move.

After a while, seeing the Queen Mother's eyes, she silently breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and said softly: "Ting Wan's thoughts, the imperial grandmother also knows." I love Brother Mingqi, but I have never done anything beyond the bounds. Ting Wan ...... Ting Wan is really worried about Brother Mingqi's ......"

As she spoke, she carefully observed the color of the Queen Mother with her eyes, and saw that the Queen Mother was the same color, so she continued: "What's more, if this matter is known to the general...... It's going to be displeased. Maybe you'll think that our royal family is deliberately looking down on him. Although Ting Wan doesn't know much about the current situation in Kyoto, she has heard her father mention it to some extent...... If the general is allowed to be in this stall, so he will be angry and do something rebellious, then how can it be good! ”

"That's it! The things of the previous dynasty are also something you can talk about! The Queen Mother was obviously a little angry, and the tea cup slammed on the table with a muffled sound.

Xihe's body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Ting Wan lost her words, please don't blame the imperial grandmother!" ”

The Queen Mother looked condescendingly at Xi He, who was kneeling on the ground, with a little scrutiny in her eyes. She can tolerate this girl's cleverness, or ignore her careful thoughts, but if she doesn't measure herself and pretends to be clever and hits her with the abacus, then she can't be presumptuous.

"Get up!" The Queen Mother took a deep look at her and said quietly, "In this matter, the mourning family has its own opinions, and it must not be communicated with outsiders again." ”

"Yes, Ting Wan understands." Xihe was a little panicked, slowly got up, and stood aside with his head down.

"Okay, the mourning family is a little tired, you go down first." The Queen Mother was too lazy to look at her coy appearance, so she simply drove people away.

"Yes, Ting Wan retired."

Seeing that the people had retreated, Ruan Lingran walked out from behind the screen. She still had a light smile on her face, and there was no trace of worry.

The Queen Mother looked at her, her expression was slightly relaxed, and she said: "I heard it, at a young age, I am not a worry-free person!" ”

Ruan Lingran chuckled, carried the purple clay pot on the side and added tea for the Queen Mother, and then said lightly: "It's not my daughter-in-law's fault, I didn't teach Mingqi well, which made the emperor's mother bother." ”

At the mention of Tang Mingqi, the Queen Mother sighed, with a little guilt in her eyes: "At the beginning, it was the mourning family who didn't protect him well, so that the slut succeeded, and he suffered a crime in vain." ”

"What happened back then, how can you blame the emperor's mother, there are too many people in this palace wall." Ruan Lingran looked at the palace flowers outside the window, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"That's it, the past can't be traced." The Queen Mother sighed, took a sip of tea, looked at the gentle-eyed daughter-in-law in front of her, and asked, "What do you think about today's events?" ”

Ruan Lingran shook her head, and said with some helplessness: "What else can you think, the emperor's mother doesn't know, Mingqi's temperament, how can her daughter-in-law control it......"

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said with a smile: "That's it, the mourning family also knows your temperament." Either way, you must be biased against him. It's just that in this current situation, I'm afraid he can't be allowed to mess around! ”

"The daughter-in-law doesn't understand the situation, she just knows that it is enough to have the emperor's mother to make decisions for Mingqi."

Although Ruan Lingran has a girlish heart, she is delicate and transparent, and knows what she should say and what not to say. Although the Queen Mother is her aunt, she is still the main mother of the royal family after all, and no matter how much she is favored, she cannot commit taboos and point fingers at the interests of the royal family.

However, that kid actually dared to marry a wife in private without telling them?! No wonder, when I heard the news of the accident in Jinguancheng that day, my face was so ugly. It seems that it is really Hongluanxing who has moved.

I don't know which girl is so unlucky......

A hundred miles away in Xiaohua Mountain, Su Luan's face was sickly flushed, curled up in Tang Mingqi's arms, and his whole body was trembling.

Because of the high fever, her mind was a little unclear, and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, shouting cold for a while, and hot for a while.

Tang Mingqi hugged her tightly in his arms, his brows twisted into a dead knot, his eyes were gloomy as ink as he stared at Ren Ci on the side, and asked in an unkind tone: "What's wrong with her?" Why didn't that medicine work for her at all?! ”

Ren Ci glanced at him with a cold face, and said angrily: "It's a doctor, not an immortal." It is an elixir that can cure the disease! ”

After that, he reached out and probed her pulse, his face became more and more gloomy, and he warned slightly: "It's better to persuade the prince to keep a distance from her." Her present condition, like that of the girl, is indeed infected with the plague. You're so close to her, you're susceptible to infection. ”

Tang Mingqi paused, glanced at him coldly, and then hugged the person tighter as if he hadn't heard his words.

Ren Ci snorted coldly, didn't speak again, and turned around to go out to boil medicine.

However, this continued until the next day.

Su Luan seemed to have completely lost consciousness and fell asleep all the time. Even the breathing between the wings of the nose became lighter and weaker.

Tang Mingqi's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept guarding her, for fear that as soon as she closed her eyes, she would completely abandon him.

It wasn't until night fell again and Tang Mingqi fed her the medicine that she finally woke up for a short while.

She hugged Tang Mingqi's waist, shrunk in front of his chest, as if she was extremely tired, and said in a particularly weak voice: "Although I am asleep, I can hear what you say." It's been determined that it's a plague, right...... Tang Mingqi, you have to stay away from me......"

"Impossible! I can't do it......" his voice was a little hoarse, "Don't worry, I'm fine......"

Su Luan coughed lightly twice, and his voice became softer: "Plague...... It's probably going to be hard to get better...... Tang Mingqi, if I can't get through it this time......"

"Don't say stupid things!" Tang Mingqi interrupted her directly, his chin rested on the top of her hair, his eyes were closed in pain, and his voice trembled slightly, "You'll be fine, you just have a cold." After drinking the medicine, it will get better soon. You will live a hundred years, and your children and grandchildren will be full, and when you are full of silver threads, you will sit under the pergola on an auspicious day of the zodiac, bask in the sun, and die a righteous death. And not in this cold cave...... Luan'er, you can't just throw me like that...... You can't ......."

The corners of Su Luan's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said lightly: "Fool ......"

With that, she closed her eyes and collapsed into his arms, a tear sliding down the corner of her eye and onto the back of his hand.

Tang Mingqi's body trembled, his whole body suddenly tensed, he reached out to hold her slender wrist, and his fingers lightly rested on her pulse, until he clearly felt a faint beat, and his stiff back suddenly relaxed......

Not far from the garrison camp, UNHCR was brightened by a scream.

In a refugee room, five pale-faced people rushed out, pointing to the room and shouting, "Dead! Dead! ”

Deputy General Zhang, who was attracted by the voice, frowned and looked at the people: "What is the noise!" What's going on? ”

A young man shuddered and said, "Master Jun, there are dead people inside!" Just now, the three of them jerked violently, foaming at the mouth with white foam, and then ...... And then there was no gas! ”

Vice General Zhang frowned, pointed to the little soldier on the side and said, "You go in and have a look!" ”

"Yes!" The little soldier stepped into the house in a few steps, only to smell a foul smell, pinched his nose and fanned it, and reached out to probe the snort of the three people, and sure enough, it ...... All dead......

"General Hui, it's really out of gas!" He hurried out of the room and bowed.

Deputy General Zhang patted his head, turned around twice on the spot, as if thinking of something, and said to the little soldier next to him: "Go!" Come to camp and bring Dr. Wu over! ”

After a while, Dr. Wu trotted over with a medicine box, and saw Vice General Zhang hurriedly asking, "Where is the person?" Take the old man to see it! ”

Vice General Zhang pointed to the room: "It's all inside." ”

Dr. Wu wanted to find a cloth towel and cover his mouth and nose, so he lowered his head and entered the room.

About half a cup of tea, he came out of the house with a heavy face: "Lord Zhang, quickly burn the corpses in the house, those who have been in contact with these people need to be isolated, these three people died of the plague!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire UNHCR was in a panic......

In the blink of an eye, on the third day, the soldiers sent back by Tang Mingqi to report the news finally returned again. However, it brought bad news.

As the flood waters below the mountain gradually receded, some people ignored the warnings and secretly recovered and buried the bodies of their loved ones, and contracted the plague on the corpses. And all the people who came into contact with them were all infected.

Now that more than a dozen people from UNHCR have been confirmed to be sick, when they returned to the camp, the garrison camp had been depleted of medicinal materials, and the relief supplies from Kyoto would have to wait at least two days for them to arrive, so ......

"Lord Shizi, there are no medicinal herbs in the camp."

Tang Mingqi glanced at them coldly, his eyes were sad, and he commanded in a hoarse voice: "I know, I've worked hard for you, all of you retreat." After a while, you will take the villagers who have taken refuge in the mountains to UNHCR. ”

"Yes."

Ren Ci came in with a medicine bowl and looked at the pale man in his arms: "The herb can last for a day at most...... You have to be mentally prepared. ”

Mental preparation?! What kind of psychological preparation should he have?

Tang Mingqi didn't respond, and woke up the little girl in his arms softly, and carefully put the medicine down. Seeing that she was frowning in pain, he kissed her eyebrows distressedly.

Su Luan drank the medicine and soon fell asleep. Tang Mingqi has been taking care of her for the past few days, not getting a drop of water, and her face is ugly and tight now.

Fourth Master Zhao handed him the water bladder and dry food: "Eat some, Luan girl still relies on you to take care of it, if you fall, what will she do?!" ”

Tang Mingqi took it silently, the taste was like chewing wax, and forced himself to eat it.

However, Zhao Siye became a prophecy, and that night, Tang Mingqi fell without warning.
