The sky was overcast, and just after Shen, the chief eunuch of the Ganlu Hall beckoned the little slaves to hold the lamp. Your Majesty and the two lords are still discussing matters in the palace.

"You mean, the imperial court still owes the Li family a hundred stone of grain? When was this? Li Erlang was dedicated to two things, reviewing the chapters, and listening to the internal servants report the results of the Chang'an County Ya trial.

"Yes. Miao County Ling personally admitted the matter. It is said that it was a drought last year, and when Miao County ordered Zhou Zhi to take office, he borrowed it with his own handwriting. ”

"Oh? I see. The long skirt Wuji smiled and said: "It turns out that Miao Zhengzhi's excellent evaluation came from this. No wonder he defended Li Luoyun so much. ”

Fang Xuanling also put down the file and said: "Even so, in the situation of last year, it was not easy to borrow food generously. This Li family can be regarded as a family of goodness. ”

Li Erlang nodded, this move did make him change his impression of the Baxia camp a little, it turned out that it was not a group of bloodthirsty people who dared to kill the mob. "So how did it end up? How much compensation did the Wei family want? ”

The chamberlain leaned over and reported: "The Wei family didn't ask for it in the end." Miao County's order asked his subordinates for compensation for no one's ten times, and in the end, a total of three hundred and eighty-five pieces, which was settled by the Duchess of Weiguo at one time. ”

"Wei Guogong ......" Li Erlang frowned, didn't ask, and instead asked, "What about Li Luoyun?" Got a board? ”

"Yes, the slave watched the execution. Then it was sent back to the West Inner Garden, where it is now housed in a miscellaneous house near Qihu Stream. After saying nothing, he raised his eyes and peeked at the emperor's expression, and continued with a slight hesitation: "The slave arranged a little slave to give medicine to Li Gongzi and take care of it for the time being. ”

Li Erlang was not displeased with the waiter's self-assertion, but just casually bowed his head to show that he knew: "Well, the errand is good, let's go down and rest." ”

"Your Majesty, the slave is frightened, and the slave and the maid are retired." The chamberlain was flattered and kowtowed in fear.

The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head to see that the sky outside the hall was no longer light, and then looked at the time when the copper kettle in the hall was underreported, and said casually: "The hour is not early, Lu Guogong has not captured his son yet?" ”

Fang Xuanling frowned slightly and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and then saw that the emperor's expression was calm and impatient, so he smiled and relieved Cheng Zhijie and said, "Didn't I say that the two sons of the Cheng family are not worthy today." Young people are playing around, the capital is so big, unless Lu Guogong leads troops to search, how can he find it so quickly, it is not a big deal, and the case is closed. I think it's enough to let Lu Guogong teach himself a lesson. ”

"Hmph, Xuan Ling, don't think about interceding with Lao Cheng. If he is not strict with his children, he can only punish his two sons. "Speaking of Li Erlang, there is Li Luoyun who thinks of 'not Xiao is his father', and the prince who was sued by the Taifu...... With anger in his heart, he scolded hatefully: "Tiger father and dog! I, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, are all outstanding people! Why didn't you teach a few promising sons? At a young age, he doesn't want to make progress, and his playthings are demoralized! How can we expect them to keep the foundation they have worked hard for! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was taken aback, his dissatisfaction with the prince had already been revealed in his words, this is not a trivial matter! What's going on with Your Majesty these days? The thought in his heart turned sharply, and he just wanted to open his mouth to explain it to the prince. Outside the hall, there was a flustered sound of hurried footsteps. The eldest grandson Wuji thought that Cheng Zhijie was coming, but when he turned his head, he saw a sweaty eunuch rushing into the hall in a panic.

"Why are you so flustered?"

The eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembled and he said in horror: "Your Majesty, King Ji, King Shu, King Yue, King Zhao, suddenly had a high fever in the study in the afternoon!" ”

"What?!" Li Erlang stood up in disbelief, how could there be four princes suddenly sick at the same time, and was about to ask, who knew that the eunuch hadn't finished speaking!

"Princess Changle, Princess Baling, Princess Linchuan, Princess Lanling, Princess Ankang, Princess Chengyang, Princess Gaoyang, and the little princess ......"

"What's wrong with the princesses?!" Li Erlang listened to the names of his children coming out of the eunuch's mouth one by one, and his voice was already trembling.

"The princesses, like the princes, suddenly had a high fever, and they were weak and difficult to get up. And the little princess...... The little princess was already unconscious...... "After the eunuch finished speaking, he fell to the ground with five bodies on the ground, trembling like a sieve of chaff, and he was extremely frightened.

Li Erlang jumped over the case in anger, stepped in front of the eunuch in two steps, dragged him up, and asked fiercely: "What happened!?" Why does it suddenly happen? What about the Imperial Doctor? How's the little princess?! ”

"All the doctors in the Tai Hospital have entered the palace, and the queen has also invited Zhen Taichang, but ...... The cause is unknown, and the group of doctors is ......"

"Hey——!" Li Erlang threw it to the ground fiercely, without looking back, and walked away quickly. The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling reacted from their shock and hurriedly chased them out. When I got to the outside of the hall, I could only see the emperor's back. When he turned his head again, he saw Cheng Zhijie striding over, followed by the two sons who were shirtless and guilty of the crime.

"If it is convenient for the eldest grandson, you might as well go to the queen to see the little princess. I'll go tell Lu Guogong. This matter is strange, and if it is limited to the court, it can still be controlled. I'm afraid that there will be a vicious epidemic spreading, and I am afraid that it will spread to the entire capital. I will remind Lu Guogong to observe the movements in Beijing in secret first, and wait for the imperial doctors to determine the situation before dealing with it. Fang Xuanling's mind was active, and he immediately made arrangements, implying that the eldest grandson Wuji must remind His Majesty to suppress the news and control the rumors.

"There is Brother Laofang. I'll go to the main hall to find out what is going on. The eldest grandson Wuji bowed, turned around and hurried away.

Fang Xuanling watched the eldest grandson Wuji leave, looked up at the gloomy and gloomy sky, and sighed: "Eventful autumn, may God bless me ...... the Tang Dynasty" After saying that, he went to Cheng Zhijie. Not long after, Cheng Zhijie took his shirtless second son, hurried back to the yamen.

Li Luoyun walked through the forest alone and came to the front of the Qihu Stream. The two tigers smelled the smell and poked their heads out of the hole, Li Luoyun nodded to the two tigers, looked around again, and finally looked up at the sky, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, the golden wuxi was falling, and the sky was even more gloomy. His brows tightened and he sighed lightly: "I hope the clouds will be clear tomorrow...... waved his hand and turned to leave, "The white ape and Yonghe ...... What the hell went wrong......"

The wind in Chang'an suddenly rose, Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chumo The two brothers recalled their subordinate generals, led the secret orders of the general's mansion, personally led the guards, took off their official uniforms, and inspected one hundred and eight squares in the two counties of Chang'an Wannian! Cheng Zhijie, the general of the left leading army, wore a dark robe to cover his full armor. Holding the emperor's handwriting, he quietly sat in the Jinwuwei Yamen, waiting for the return.

"I hope it's Lord Fang who is too careful......"

It was getting darker and earlier, the door drums were still beating the hour, and the pedestrians were hurrying home, and everything seemed to be the same as before. Until the palace gate is locked, the city gate is closed, and there is no abnormal return when the team returns to the secret investigation. Cheng Zhijie quietly scattered the generals, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. Get up and walk around and move your tense body. Stretched out his arms and walked to the door, raised his eyes to see Cheng Chumo walking in a hurry, followed by the manager of Cheng Mansion with an anxious look on his face. Cheng Zhijie chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt bad. I comforted myself that it might be that my wife was looking for something for me, but I couldn't help but walk over at my feet.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Chu wiped the sweat on his head, and just as he was about to speak, the old steward had already said anxiously: "Master, the little boy suddenly had a high fever in the afternoon, and the lady invited the famous doctors in the city, and drank a lot of decoction, but it didn't work." Madame can't, so she sent a villain to find the lord and ask the imperial doctor to ......"

"Where's it?" Cheng Zhijie was stunned for a moment, grabbed his collar without waiting for the old butler to finish speaking, dragged him to him, and asked in a slightly panicked tone: "What kind of illness did the doctor say?!" How's it going? But the whole body is red and hot?! ”

"How does the master know...... the old steward was surprised, but Cheng Zhijie's face changed suddenly, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask again.

Cheng Zhijie threw down the old butler and turned his head to stare at his eldest son, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you come back so late?" How's it going in the city? Is there an abnormality? ”

Cheng Chumo was taken aback by his father's face, and honestly reported: "At first glance, there is nothing abnormal. However, my son specially visited several pharmacies and hospitals, and almost all of the doctors went to the clinic, and asked the pharmacy guy that there were suddenly more people who went to catch antipyretics this afternoon. I stayed until the curfew, and there were more and more people who violated the ban, almost all of them to find a doctor! These people, without exception, are all children in the family who have a high fever that does not go away! ”

Cheng Zhijie's expression gradually became solemn. The worst has happened, whether it is a plague or not, Gyeonggi Heavy Land, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, must be dealt with as soon as possible! One bad is the disaster of overturning!

"Silence! Instantly recall all the guards and strictly defend the fortified places of the city! No one can go out lightly without His Majesty's edict! ”

"No!"

"I'll go to the palace immediately to report the right servant's shot!" Before the words fell, Cheng Zhijie had already strode away.

The old steward didn't know what was happening, and when he saw that the old man was leaving, he immediately got up from the ground and shouted, "Master, master! What about the little boy? You can't leave it alone! ”

Cheng Zhijie paused, didn't look back, and said in a cold tone: "The imperial doctors have all entered the palace...... Let Mrs. take care of Yibi, whether he can survive this hurdle depends on himself! After speaking, he just took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned to Cheng Chumo and asked: "The second child hasn't come back yet, wait for him to come back and let him go to Qingyun Temple to guard, if Sun Daochang has news, bring it into the palace immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

"No, don't worry, father!" When Cheng Chumo looked up again, he no longer saw his father's back. Just as he was about to give the order, he turned around and saw that the old steward was still stunned. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and said, "Uncle Cheng, I will arrange for someone to send you home." You go back and tell your mother that you are afraid of cholera in Beijing, and when you go back, you will immediately close the door of the house and don't go out! Younger brother...... The younger brother asked his mother......"

Cholera has been born, without warning, but it is menacing! Tonight's Chang'an is probably the last calm night before the storm comes. Although, there were countless families in the dark night, who were worried about the children. Now they only think that their children have contracted the disease by chance, and when the city gates are opened at dawn tomorrow, they will find that there are so many children who have suffered from the disease...... Unfortunately, this does not bring the slightest comfort, only to them...... Panicky......

The lights in the Taiji Palace are endless, looking from the city tower, you can see that the lights are shining, and the figures are longing to shuttle back and forth, and they are even busier than during the day. However, it was still dark in the morning. A palace without nobles is no different from a cold palace. Li Luoyun didn't have his own house and bed, no one arranged for him, and he didn't want to live in a bunk with others, so he had to nest alone in the miscellaneous room next to the beast garden. The autumn night was cold and cold, and Luo Yun shrank in the haystack, tossing and turning.

In the middle of the night, a dark shadow silently pushed open the door. The cold wind blew in, Li Luoyun woke up shivering, opened his eyes and saw that the wooden door was covered again, and the black shadow in the haze swept over the debris piled on the ground, and before Luoyun could react, he felt a soft warmth surround him. Luo Yun slowly melted into the black shadow, his face was soothed, and his constricted body also stretched.

Xiao You came back, and Luo Yun's worried heart finally let go. Closed his eyes and groped out the gourd hanging around Xiao You's neck, took off his lips and took a sip, he suddenly felt refreshed, a warm current flowed from his frozen body, he turned over and lay down, and moaned with satisfaction. Li Luoyun smacked his lips, tasted it slightly, suddenly frowned slightly, and opened his eyes: "Why did you change a wine ......?"

In the Zhongnan Mountain, Sun Simiao was lying on his back on a straw mat, his cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were closed, and he was sleeping soundly. There are five wine gourds beside him. Looking at the outside of the cave where he was, a huge white figure sat cross-legged on the side, silently watching Sun Simiao. Suddenly, the sound of landing was heard in the forest outside the cave. The deliberately lightened footsteps gradually approached, and the white ape blocking the entrance of the cave listened, slowly got up, glanced at the sleeping Sun Simiao, and went out.

Outside the cave, the clouds are shrouded in the capital, and the dark clouds on the Zhongnan Mountain are slightly thin, and the moonlight is visible. The white ape stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at where the footsteps came. The two figures slowly walked out of the dense forest and stood in the moonlight. The white fur showed a dazzling silver in the moonlight, and the two of them bowed down to face the white ape at the entrance of the cave. The white ape's gaze looked at the couple indifferently, motionless. The air seemed to freeze, until the young Yonghe jumped into the arena and showed off his might in front of the white ape.

Immediately, the white ape raised its giant palm and discharged it into the ground......
