"I've made up my mind about this matter, don't tell my father." Chu Jiao said.

Chu Qing kept pulling her hand: "No, this is too dangerous, no matter what, my father and I will not let you go." ”

Looking at the worry in her eyes, Chu Jiao broke her hand away one by one: "No, I must go, in the days when I am away, you take good care of your father, just tell my father that I am unwell and raised at home." ”

Chu Qing burst into tears: "Then, second sister, you must pay attention to safety, you must come back well, this is the talisman I have always worn on my body, and I give it to you now, I hope you can come back safely." ”

Saying that, Chu Qing tied the peace charm on his body to Chu Jiao's body.

Chu Jiao patted her on the shoulder, said goodbye, returned to the palace and simply packed her luggage, brought some trauma medicine, and some necessities, and she was about to leave.

The last time she went out without red sleeves, this time she said that she would go out with her.

"It's very dangerous outside, if you get sick, no one can save you, and then I'll throw you in a dead man's pile, it's terrible." Chu Jiao said.

The red-sleeved body shrank for a moment: "Miss, I've killed people, what are you afraid of." ”

"Oh? That's because you haven't seen what it's like for those who get sick, and it's too late to be scared. Chu Jiao said compassionately.

But no matter what she said, Red Sleeves was going to follow her heart this time, very resolutely.

"I'm going with thirty people, and I'm really bad at moving myself." Chu Jiao said to Qin Shao.

Qin Shao immediately sent her thirty secret guards with strong martial arts skills to be dispatched by Chu Jiao.

Chu Jiao thought that when the time came, it would be good to be able to draw conclusions when she saw the patient's condition with her own eyes.

"You know, I don't want you to put yourself at risk." Qin Shao said before Chu Jiao left.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of measure in my heart, I will definitely grasp it, promise me not to go to the southwest, if you go, there will be no one to take care of my father." Chu Jiao instructed repeatedly.

Qin Shao didn't speak, nor did he object to her, but just watched the carriage she was sitting in drift away.

As the winter gradually left, the ice and snow gradually melted, and the road was relatively easier to walk, Chu Jiao chose the nearest road and galloped to the southwest region.

There are a total of five cities in the southwest region, and the most seriously injured by the epidemic is called Fengdu.

She traveled for a few days and nights just to go to Fengdu, and the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also there.

After she hurried to Fengdu, she entered the city with the thirty people, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate tower were surprised, looking at the documents in Chu Jiao's hand, an officer and soldier wondered: "Do you really want to enter the city?" ”

Chu Jiao nodded calmly.

"Do you know what's going on in Fengdu right now? Want to get in? Let me remind you that it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out after entering. The officers and soldiers guarding the door kindly reminded.

"Uh-huh, I see." After Chu Jiao finished speaking, she raised her legs and was about to go in.

Listening to the strange words of the officers and soldiers behind her, "I really haven't seen anyone looking for death in these years." ”

Chu Jiao didn't take it to heart when she heard it, after all, the most important thing now is her grandfather's family.

As soon as she entered the city, the desolation of the city came to her face, and a bunch of healthy people who had not yet contracted the disease at the gate wanted to go out, but they were stopped by the officers and soldiers.

"Let go of me! I'm not sick let me out! The man went out of the city with his wife and children.

But when the officers and soldiers received orders from their superiors, they were naturally iron-faced and selfless: "Who knows if you are sick?" I can tell you, the spear in my hand doesn't have eyes! ”

The man's wife and son both coughed at this time, and the officers and soldiers immediately became nervous.

"Someone! Take it away! ”

The man's wife and children were immediately framed to go somewhere else, and the man slapped the gate of the city even more frantically when he saw this: "Let me go out!" I'm not sick! ”

Chu Jiao inevitably felt a chill in her heart when she saw this, this is probably the catastrophe that is coming, she turned around and continued to walk forward, the most dangerous thing in this place is that it will be contagious, so she needs to avoid contact and be infected.

Chu Jiao asked the people who followed her to put on masks, and then don't move around at will.

There weren't many people on the streets, and the doors of every house were closed.

The situation seems to be much better than Chu Jiao imagined, when she was young, she used to go to her grandfather's house, and today she found her grandfather's house with her childhood memories.

My grandfather's family name is Shangguan, and he is a well-known family in the local area, with a solid family background, and he has been a scholarly family for generations, so he is also knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and there are several officials in the family, and his reputation in the local area is very high and popular.

At the beginning, the eldest lady was the eldest lady, and Chu Zhennan was just a poor boy, but the eldest lady wanted to marry Chu Zhennan.

The old man in the family knew that his daughter was going to marry a poor boy and had no future, so naturally he didn't agree to the marriage of the two.

But the eldest lady insisted on going her own way and married Chu Zhennan, but I didn't expect that Chu Zhennan would really have a career and become the prime minister, how could this call the old man's face be hung, plus the eldest lady was in the capital, so as to come and go, the contact between the two families became less and less.

Chu Jiao looked at the red-painted door in front of her, although her mother never said it, but I am afraid that she has always thought about this home in her heart.

She stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, a family member came out, and saw a masked young girl in front of her eyes, and the family member asked, "May I ask who you are?" The master of our house said that he has not seen any guests recently, so please go back first, and when I get back, I will tell the master about the girl's visit. ”

Chu Jiao said: "I am Chu Jiao. ”

Jia Ding suddenly realized, but he didn't dare to welcome people in immediately, he turned around and went back to report it, and Chu Jiao also patiently waited for the situation outside.

The family came over after a while, and then said to Chu Jiao: "I'm sorry, little miss, our old man said, please go back quickly, don't come here recently." ”

"Please go and spread the word again, I must see my grandfather this time." Chu Jiao said patiently.

After a while, the family came back, and then said the same thing, not letting in.

Chu Jiao had no choice but to let Xiuying break in, and the family really had no choice but to take Chu Jiao to the place where the old man was.

The old man's name is Shangguan Hongtian, and he is sitting in the main hall at this moment, with a sad face.

When Chu Jiao came in, she hurriedly said, "Jiao'er has seen her grandfather." ”

Shangguan Hongtian is over sixty years old, and time has only left wrinkles on his face, but it has not changed his spirit, wearing a cyan robe, and the house is full of precious calligraphy and painting antiques.

The old man was worried, and when he saw Chu Jiao, he was stunned for a while, it was too similar.

"Granddaughter, how did you come to such a dangerous place, what a dangerous thing it is." The old man hurriedly helped the person up.

"What's going on now? I don't see too many people outside, why is there no one in the house? Chu Jiao asked.

The Shangguan family has a total of four children, the eldest daughter is the eldest lady, the second son is in Shangguan Rui, that is, the magistrate of Fengdu, the third daughter Shangguan Wan, who is married, and the fourth son, Shangguan Nan, has not been admitted to the imperial examination three times, and has abandoned himself at home.

"Alas, it's really not good." The old man sighed and said.

The family heard that the daughters of the big lady in the capital had come, and they all came out one by one.

There are dozens of people infected with the epidemic in the house, and now they are all locked up in a remote corner, Shangguan Nan's wife, children, and Shangguan Rui's wife are unfortunately infected with the disease.

Because the government will take away people who have already contracted the disease and take them to one place en masse, in order to prevent the disease from continuing to spread.

But everyone also knows that being taken away means that they will never come back.

Therefore, the sick family members and those maidservants were put in the house.

Shangguan Rui and Shangguan Nan were the first to see Chu Jiao, and Chu Jiao saluted the two of them.

Shangguan Rui was exhausted because of the epidemic, coupled with his age, with a sense of vicissitudes on his face.

"Uncle, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with you now?" Chu Jiao asked.

Shangguan Rui nodded, a few white hairs appeared on his forehead, and his voice was a little weak: "His Royal Highness the Prince, he is sick, and now he refuses to see anyone, he is with those who are sick." ”

Chu Jiao nodded: "People who have been infected are actually very dangerous, and now the people in the mansion should actually be taken away." ”

As she spoke, she was suddenly met with opposition.

"Absolutely not! Rong Rong will die. Shangguan Nan denied.

Chu Jiao knew that she had just come here, and it was difficult for people to accept it all of a sudden, but now that the illness in the Shangguan Mansion did not continue to spread, it was a blessing in misfortune.

"Okay, I want to go and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, please lead the way for me." Chu Jiao said seriously to Shangguan Rui.

When he saw the prince again, he no longer had the feeling he had in the past, because of the disease.

His face was very pale, the clothes on his body were faintly visible, the position of his neck was faintly visible, there were some small red spots, his eyes were sunken, and he looked like he hadn't rested for a long time.

"I didn't expect your situation to be so serious, I'm late." Chu Jiao said.

Saying that, she was about to go over to see his situation, but Yao Feng directly took dozens of steps back.

"Now in this situation, you better not come near me, what is a woman messing around here? Why don't you go back soon? ”

He was very serious, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

"I'm already here, I won't go back, I can only go back when you're all right, my grandfather's family is also here, I must let them be safe." Chu Jiao thought that when her mother left in person, she couldn't see it, and now this is probably the last thing she can do, so she must not give up, as long as there is still a little hope.
