Chapter 392: A Chance of Safety
Ning Qi, the general of the expedition to the north, led his troops to garrison the Yurong guard camp, apparently to block the camp gate on the order of the Empress Dowager He Lanyan to prevent the people in the camp from escaping, causing smallpox to rage. But in fact, it was Ning Qi's illusion of confusing the Queen Mother in order to protect everyone in the camp.
Because Ning Qi knew in his heart that if the emperor and Princess Fuling promised to return to the palace immediately, then if the more than 100 people in the other camps were allowed to fend for themselves, they would definitely die. With the ruthlessness of the Queen Mother He Lanyan, sacrificing the lives of more than 100 people in the camp to put an end to the hidden danger of the spread of smallpox, it is nothing more than the death of a few insignificant people, which is not enough to worry about. Even if the camp also involves princes and princes with prominent status, the Queen Mother He Lanyan will not be distressed and have scruples. It's a big deal, and they will be posthumously awarded official titles and nicknames afterwards. As for the princes, there is no need to explain it in particular, as long as they insist that smallpox is raging and spreading in the camp, and they have already sent people to help them as much as possible, and they are unable to return to the sky.
Ning Qi had already sent someone to report the news of the emperor's refusal to return to the palace to the queen mother in the palace, but Ning Qi did not know when the queen mother He Lanyan would send more people to the imperial guard camp after learning the news of the emperor's refusal to return to the palace, and how she would forcibly put pressure on the emperor to force the emperor to return to the palace. In the face of all the uncertainty in front of him, all Ning Qi could do was to buy more time for everyone on the front line of life and death in the camp.
Yu Lingjun's smallpox disease has entered a very critical stage of development, and if he is not careful, he will have to worry about his life. And he stayed by Yu Lingjun's side day and night, taking care of Gongliang'er, who had not closed his eyes for five days and five nights, and was very tired at this time. The imperial doctor and the mother-in-law persuaded Gongliang to go back to the side room to rest, but Gongliang Zhu'er insisted on staying by Yu Lingjun's side and accompanying him through the most dangerous moment.
That night, Yu Lingjun, whose body temperature had dropped slightly due to the effect of the drug, started a high fever again. The mother-in-law and the little scholar in the house were caught off guard, but fortunately, Gongliang Zhu'er had been staying in front of Yu Lingjun's sickbed, and kept Yu Lingjun cold to cool down, and the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated the medicine in time, Yu Lingjun's high fever subsided, and his body temperature gradually stabilized.
Yu Lingjun, who was confused due to high fever, didn't know whether he was in a coma or immersed in a dream, his eyes were closed tightly, his brows were frowned together, twisted into a hemp rope, he had not stretched out for a long time, and he was still muttering slurred words in his mouth.
Yu Lingjun seemed to have had a long, long dream, and the situation in the dream seemed to be full of melancholy background, until Yu Lingjun suddenly felt that his body fell infinitely with a spasm, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss. Yu Lingjun's men subconsciously wanted to grasp something, and they still shouted in their mouths: "Mother save me!" ”
Gongliang Er, who was guarding in front of the couch, saw Yu Lingjun who was shocked and not awake, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, holding Yu Lingjun's little hand that was fluttering in the air but had nowhere to put it, and called in Yu Lingjun's ear in a soft voice: "Lingjun, don't be afraid!" I'm here, and we're all by your side. ”
Under the call of Gongliang'er and mother-in-law, Yu Lingjun gradually regained consciousness and woke up. Only then did Yu Lingjun realize that the terrifying scene was just a dream, a nightmare of life and death. Yu Lingjun sat up suddenly, Yu Lingjun, who missed his hometown relatives very much, was teary-eyed, mistook Gongliang Jiao'er for his mother, hugged Gongliang Jiao'er tightly, and whimpered and cried.
Gongliang gently patted Yu Lingjun's back and comforted him softly.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law on the side was afraid that Yu Lingjun would infect smallpox to Gongliang'er, so she hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two. Gongliang Zhu'er waved her hand, signaling to her mother-in-law that she was okay and didn't have to worry.
Under the comfort of Gongliang'er's soft voice, after a long time, Yu Lingjun fell asleep peacefully, and this time Yu Lingjun's tangled eyebrows gradually relaxed.
After Yu Lingjun sleeps well, the mother-in-law will take Gongliang to disinfect.
Gongliang Wei'er smiled and shook her head, and responded: "Thank you mother-in-law for your kindness, I have already put on a veil and soft silk gloves as isolation according to the instructions of the imperial doctor, it should be fine, mother-in-law does not need to be nervous." Besides, although Ling Jun was asleep, he couldn't leave anyone by the bedside, and I just happened to stay to take care of him. Mother-in-law has taken turns to take care of Lingjun these days, and her eye sockets are sunken, so mother-in-law should hurry back to the room to rest, just have me here to guard. “
"However, the second son of Gongliang has also stayed up day and night for so long, and the old slave is already very unhappy in his heart, how can he bear to let the second son of Gongliang suffer so much! It's better for the second son of Gongliang to rest, and the old slave just stays to take care of the little master. "The mother-in-law can't bear to watch Gongliang Jiao'er work so hard.
The two of them let go back and forth, and in the end, Gongliang Zhu'er said that he moved his mother-in-law and asked his mother-in-law to go back to the room to rest, while Gongliang Zhu'er stayed by Yu Lingjun's side to keep vigil and take care of it.
It was already the fourth watch in a flash, and the mother-in-law went back to the room and slept lightly for less than two hours, then got up and came to the inner room to replace Gongliang and go back to the side room to rest.
Gongliang stood up and went back to sleep for a while.
Yu Lingjun's smallpox was more acute than the symptoms of the people he saw when Gongliang was a child and fled with his mother-in-law, and the pustules that would only appear on the eighth or ninth day were turned into pus overnight on the morning of the sixth day. And Yu Lingjun's body temperature rose again, and the high fever did not go away, and the symptoms of poisoning worsened, which was very dangerous.
In order to regain Yu Lingjun's fresh life from the hands of death, Gongliang Zhu'er, his mother-in-law, and the imperial doctor all did their best to help Yu Lingjun fight against the disease.
However, Yu Lingjun is a child after all, and his willpower is inevitably weaker. Smallpox, a virulent infectious disease, is more like a child, even if an adult has it, he will not die and will peel off a layer of skin.
In order to settle Yu Lingjun and stimulate his perseverance and courage to fight against the disease, Gongliang Zhu'er did not hesitate to play the role of Yu Lingjun's mother again when Yu Lingjun had a high fever and was unconscious, softly comforting and encouraging Yu Lingjun to overcome the disease.
Many times, when Yu Lingjun thought that he couldn't hold on and wanted to give up, it was Gongliang'er's gentle call that pulled Yu Lingjun back from the line of death.
The fact that Yu Lingjun's illness had entered the most critical period spread in the camp. Helian Fuling, Lan Yi'an, Mo Zijin, Mu Xingchen, Gao Di and others all secretly prayed for Yu Lingjun in their hearts. At the same time, everyone also knew very well in their hearts that the more at this time, the more likely the people who stayed by Yu Lingjun's side to take care of him were to be infected with smallpox. While everyone was worried about Yu Lingjun, they also sweated for the good people who stayed to take care of Yu Lingjun.
While everyone was suffering in an anxious and long wait, Helian Yingche was unusually calm. All the worst intentions have already been generated in Helian Yingche's heart. Helian knew better than anyone what it would mean if smallpox was not under control. But Helian Yingche, as the king of a country, has no time to feel anxiety and love for children in this major event that affects the life and death of countless people. For Helian Yingche, there is only one way in front of them, that is, to believe in medicine, to believe that Yu Lingjun can survive with his own perseverance, and to believe that his good fortune will bless everyone in the camp to survive the crisis safely.
