The noise around became more lively, although Zhao Xixing could see the situation clearly, his mind seemed to be floating on the clouds, so he had to let the imperial doctor fiddle with him and pour several bowls of medicine to find some understanding.

"How's the politics of the country?" The first thing Zhao Xixing said was to turn his head to look at the courtiers kneeling outside the hall.

"Hui to the crown prince: According to the law of the Great Zhou, if the saint is not in power, the country is in danger, and it will be dealt with according to the cabinet and the elders of the cabinet, and the kings will advise." The courtiers replied loudly.

Liu Hui wiped her tears and persuaded: "Don't worry, Donggong, the state affairs are fine." The elders of the cabinet are all virtuous people who have been auxiliary ministers for generations, and the idea of getting together a bunch will not be bad. If it really touches on something important, then use it for you to decide, and the others will bother you less. Donggong still needs to take care of his body quickly, which is the best policy. ”

Zhao Xixing tried his best to stay sober and pondered for a long time: "In this way, what is in charge now is ...... Yang Gong? ”

"He's the first assistant, the head of the cabinet, isn't he who he is?" Liu Hui caught Zhao Xixing's headache and added, "This palace knows that this Yang Gong is not likable, but he has been a Confucian giant for decades, and he also has real skills." Looking at the overall situation, the East Palace is somewhat tolerant. ”

Zhao Xixing shook his head helplessly, thought of something again, glanced at Liu Hui, and lowered his tone an octave: "That...... Queen mother...... She, did she have an excerpt from the audience? ”

Liu Hui was stunned, crying and laughing: "You are like this in the East Palace, and you are still thinking about the girl!" I have to teach you to be disappointed, people haven't handed over the fold, I only heard that I pull the Duchess to climb the mountain every day, and I don't know what kind of trick I made. ”

Zhao Xixing's eyes were gloomy, but he caught a glimpse of the white cloth on his body still oozing blood, and that gloom turned into happiness.

"Well, it's better not to come...... Save yourself from scaring her like this. Zhao Xixing muttered to himself and suddenly smiled, "...... No, she's here and talking to me. ”

Liu Hui and the palace people were stunned for a moment, listening attentively, if there is no jade flute in the wind, such as silk and admiration, such as appealing.

Send each other off in the mountains, and cover the firewood at dusk.

The spring grass will be green next year, will the king and grandson return?

"It's "Thinking of the Old Man in the Mountains", come on, open the window of Chaojing Mountain." Liu Hui sighed lightly, instructed the palace people, turned his head and looked again, Zhao Xixing fell asleep again.

Xiao Qu is not clever, but he is a child, the corners of the man's lips are slightly upturned, and he hasn't bent down even when he falls asleep.

Liu Hui wiped her tears, crept up, walked to the outer hall, stopped behind the screen, and looked at the kneeling cabinet elders and Yang Gong at the head through the veil.

"Elder Yang Ge, national politics, please." Liu Hui bowed.

"The queen torments the old man! The country is in danger, according to the law of the Great Zhou, the old minister is duty-bound! Yang Gong kowtowed so heavily that he was almost about to cut his hair on the spot.

Liu Hui finally stopped him, glanced at Zhao Xixing, who was surrounded by the imperial doctors in the inner hall, retreated to the ministers, and came Sun Lu, who knelt behind the screen with the medicine box, his face turned blue.

"Sun Langzhong, is it a saint......" Liu Hui chuckled in her heart, covered her mouth, and tried her best to suppress her voice again and again, "Please say it's okay, what is the situation of the saint?" ”

Sun Lu sighed and kowtowed a few times: "Queen Hui, you also know that people can still go to the battlefield when they are sick like that, this is a return ......to light."

"Hongu knows! The method, this palace wants to listen to the method...... Hush! Liu Hui was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but she suddenly realized that Zhao Xixing was in the inner hall, and she hurriedly covered her mouth, for fear of being heard.

"You tell Hongu in a whisper...... Don't let Donggong know! He himself was hurt like that, and he must not be stimulated again! Liu Hui's eyes were swollen from crying, the two men in the top of the imperial palace were injured and the other was sick, and his harem was now the one who had the idea.

Sun Lu was helpless and told the truth: "There is a recipe from the Heavenly Kingdom, you can give it a try and give it a try, the main flavor of the recipe is saffron, but ...... If you can't find the saffron, when the East Palace is healed, you will have to succeed to the throne. ”

Liu Hui took a few steps back, her face changed in fright, and after making sure that this was not heard by others, she said with a beating heart: "Then go find it!" What kind of saffron, the huge Western Zhou can't find this flavor medicine? ”

Sun Lu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Saffron, also known as Poflan or Saphana, is produced in the Kingdom of Heaven (Note 1). Extraterritorial things, not the Central Plains, although the medicinal effect is good, but it is also difficult to raise, the Chinese people are not familiar with this grass, who is willing to spend a lot of energy to plant? ”

"Then send an envoy to the ...... of heaven" Liu Hui was dumbfounded and froze in the middle of speaking.

Yes, if you send an envoy to the kingdom of heaven, everyone will be cold when they come back.

"Queen, you should have made up your mind." Sun Lu said meaningfully.

Liu Hui gritted her teeth and was ruthless, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but she was bold enough to do so: "Spread the phoenix edict: the national emperor list, looking for saffron, those who can offer saffron, with the order of the queen of the Western Zhou Dynasty, nothing is allowed!" ”

Soon after, the saffron list was posted all over the country.

The jade flute in Jingshan is continuous day by day, and the whispers are endless.

However, a few days after the return of peace, another piece of news pushed the situation across the country to the brink of collapse.

When the cabinet interrogated the captured Southern Party, they learned that Chen Su had obtained a jar of worms from the Western Regions, and then the cabinet confirmed with the Western Regions Jiedu envoy that the insects lay eggs in the water, and they can't see or taste them.

Pestilence.

These two words are definitely a nightmare that is sometimes more terrible than war.

Xi Zhou, who had just gasped for breath, seemed to have been choked by the neck and suffocated in his chest in one breath.

The imperial palace was like a great enemy, Shengjing panicked, and the whole country began to go crazy to want Chen Su, and even the beggars by the ditch joined the search ranks, eager for all beings to have their eyes sharp.

After all, in the war, it will only be the soldiers on the front line and the courtiers of Vanity Fair who will die.

But the plague, rich and poor, no one in this country will be spared.

Shengjing, Sun's pharmacy. Sun Lu wiped the sweat on his head and stared at Yunfu: "Girl, have you thought about it?" This is no child's play, let alone rhetoric. ”

"The slave has thought about it, please take the slave and the maid to test the medicine." Yun Fu answered without hesitation, and his eyes were calm.

However, the more she was like this, the more Sun Lu felt furious in her heart, and repeatedly confirmed: "Girl, do you know what you are betting on?" It's fate, no, it's not even a gamble, because you must ...... you"

"Time is running out, don't hesitate anymore." Yun Fu interrupted, still categorically, almost decisively, "If Chen Su has already thrown the Gu worm into the Shengjing Waterway, isn't the life of the slave and maid the only solution?" ”

"Even so, there are so many officials in Shengjing, and so many virtuous people in the Western Zhou Dynasty, why do you have to go out of that way?" Xue Gaoyan's puzzlement came from the side.

Yun Fu nodded, shook his head again, and finally smiled lightly: "This is not a state matter, but a family matter of the Chen family, and I hope that the head of the line will not stop it." ”

Xue Gaoyan's pupils shrank, obviously an ordinary woman whose appearance was ruined, but at that moment, there was the most brilliant brilliance, lit up at the bottom of her eyes, so bright that people couldn't refuse.

Chen Yunfu, the fate and sins of her life should be on this Chen surname, and the redemption and immortality of this life should also be on this Chen surname.

Xue Gaoyan lowered his head, stopped squeaking, and turned around to bring the medicine box to Sun Lu, the medicinal materials were green, and Rao was Hua Tuo who could not be identified when he was alive, which one was the antidote to the plague.

Only take people to try. But the medicine is three points poisonous, and if you keep taking Gu and keep trying, even if Sun Lu can solve it immediately next to you, there is only a dead end if you accumulate it.

Shennong can still live long when he tastes all kinds of herbs, not to mention the flesh and womb. And it is destined that the world will not remember, history will not leave a name, merit and death.

"Have you really figured it out? There can only be one ending. Sun Lu's hand holding the medicine was also trembling, and his face couldn't bear it.

Yunfu smiled, relieved and relieved: "Doctor Tai, please, on this day, I, Chen Yunfu, may have waited too long." ”
