Shen Guifei hurriedly followed behind Gonggong Hai, and saw the scarlet palace lamp swaying gently in the cool night breeze, as if indifference made people's hearts chill, and the anxiety and melancholy in her eyes became deeper and deeper.

The plainly dressed woman followed Yu Hai's father-in-law silently all the way, and was about to invite him into the study of the west room, when suddenly a woman's loud voice shook the silent night. Such an imposing and arrogant and majestic voice, there is only her, Concubine Zheng!

Shen Guifei's eyebrows were slightly, and he glanced at Gonggong Hai, he raised his head and quickly glanced at the cold woman, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

Shen Guifei was also surprised, the emperor's henchmen around him except for Gonggong Hai is Gonggong Li, but these two people are like fire and water, Gonggong Li is implicated with this Zheng Guifei, and has lost most of the emperor's trust in recent years.

Gonggong Hai finally nodded and reported outside the door: "Shen Guifei has come to meet you!" ”

Zhenghu was suspicious, Li Changyi trotted in and said, "Back to the emperor, Hua ...... Murong Guifei asked to face the saint. ”

There was silence in the study for a while, and finally someone announced that Shen Guifei had entered!

Shen Guifei Lian moved lightly, trying to calm her mind, she doesn't use powder on weekdays, today she deliberately took a light makeup, walked into the room, and saw Zheng Guifei, who was smiling and trembling, was lying on the bookcase, so she only lowered her head and bowed.

The emperor coughed lightly, told her to get up, still carefully carved the wood in his hand, did not raise his head, and did not bother to say, only said indifferently: "What's the matter with being so anxious to see me?" ”

Shen Guifei didn't care about the coldness between the emperor's words, she only lowered her head and said, "The emperor is very happy, maybe the concubine has a way to cure this plague!" ”

He didn't listen to it, he was overjoyed when he heard it, he was stunned on the spot, stood up suddenly, and the carved pen in his hand also fell, and fell on the table with a "click", which frightened Zheng Guifei for a while.

"Really?!" He waved his hand and motioned for her to look up, "What the hell is the method, tell me about it!" ”

Shen Guifei raised her head, quickly glanced at him, and said, "This cure for the plague is on Su Liuyin, the daughter of my sister!" ”

He walked to the woman with a cold face, and looked carefully, she was different from the past, her beautiful face was slightly powdered, and she was more radiant, but it was different from the cheesy brightness, and he was a little surprised in his heart, he took the initiative to take her hand, hesitated for a moment, looked at Zheng Guifei and said, "Zheng Guifei seems to be in a hurry!" ”

Concubine Zheng's face stiffened slightly, and then immediately returned to her usual normal, and said with a serious face: "The concubine has also found this way to cure the epidemic!" Seeing that the emperor was obsessed with this wood carving, he didn't dare to disturb your mind, and he didn't listen to his sister take the initiative to talk about it, although he didn't dare to agree and entrust the heavy task of curing the plague to a child! ”

"Oh...... It seems that there is a better way to love the concubine, let's hear it! The emperor tightened Shen Guifei's hand, and said with a smile: "Wan'er might as well come and listen to it too, it is good to have a decision!" Can Wan'er have dinner today? ”

The woman smiled lightly and said: "Not yet, the concubines are worried about the emperor's body every day, and they want to share the emperor's worries, this is in a hurry, and there is no time for dinner!" ”

To her surprise, the man looked at her warmly and said to her, "If you haven't yet, and you are not in a hurry about this plague, don't go hungry!" He called Haigong again: "You go and let the imperial dining room prepare some light food!" ”

Shen Guifei made a flattered appearance: "Your Majesty...... This...... Don't be so troublesome, the concubines are not hungry! ”

Gonggong Hai bowed down, and soon brought several palace maids each with three bowls of bird's nest to come in, seeing them come in, Zheng Guifei hurriedly took a bowl of bird's nest from a palace maid, and looked at the emperor's eyes on Shen Guifei as if she didn't know why, walked over with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Let the concubines serve the emperor, this concubine's method of curing the plague has been invited by Gonggong Li, and the emperor just eats it well!" ”

Zheng Guifei held the bird's nest in her hand, and her smile became more and more bright and moving under the light of the candlelight in the room.

The emperor looked at the smiling woman, her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and she felt her heart rippling for a while, and as soon as he grabbed her waist, he smiled and said: "It's better for Concubine Ai to tell me in person!" “

The charming woman smiled at him Yingying and said: "But this doctor and concubine are not very popular, so let's ask the imperial doctor to tell the emperor!" ”

Although Shen Guifei on the side was extremely embarrassed in this situation, she only lowered her head and drank the bird's nest in her hand, and ignored them.

"Your Majesty...... Doctor Liu is here! ”

Hearing this, Shen Guifei on the side was like an amnesty, thinking that she finally didn't have to face such an embarrassing situation!

The emperor looked at Imperial Physician Liu, who came in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and did not tell him to get up, only put down the woman in his arms, raised his eyes and asked lightly: "The prescription for the treatment of the plague that Concubine Ai said is you!" ”

At this time, Imperial Physician Liu's face was pale, and the layer of dark blue under his eyes seemed to have not rested for a long time, and he replied: "The minister is just doing his best, and thanks to this Zheng Guifei, who has been consulting medical books all day long, there are many ministers mentioned in it!" ”

Hearing this, he moved slightly, came over to support Zheng Guifei again, sat down with her, and said, "Concubine Ai has worked hard, hurry up and drink this bird's nest while it's hot!" If it's cold, it won't smell like this! ”

Although Zheng Guifei is nearly middle-aged, her skin is delicate and flawless, like a beautiful woman in her early twenties, and she has a beautiful face, only Yingying raised her head, tears appeared in her beautiful eyes, she saw it so moving, she carefully held his sleeve, and said softly: "The concubine knows that she is dull, she is unbearable to serve the emperor, and there is no way to share the emperor's worries on weekdays......" She said, her voice was lower and softer, soft and very moving, the emperor listened to it in your ears but entered your heart, I think this is one of the reasons why Zheng Guifei has always been favored!

Finally, the emperor let go of the woman, and Zhengse asked Imperial Physician Liu, "Aiqing, get up!" Let's talk about it! ”

Seeing Fang Cai's scene, Imperial Physician Liu felt extremely embarrassed, and when he heard the emperor's question, he hurriedly replied: "There are frost and drought plagues", "flood and drought plagues", "drought and flood locust plagues", "frost and snow plagues", and "famine plagues." Abandonment of family and bankruptcy, abounds; Wives and children are here. The plague is a big thing, nine diseases in ten rooms, and the infection is dying one after another, and a few families are infected with this epidemic, and they can't afford to close the door! A duck egg is as expensive as 234 wen, which is appalling. Some scoundrels in the market took the opportunity to extort people's wealth, "flattering the gods with singing, and encroaching on fishing and self-fertilizing, which is very hateful!" ”

He rambled a lot, and the emperor was already impatient, and waved his hand and said: "I didn't order you to talk about the suffering of the people in the world, I don't know it, you only choose what is important." ”

"The plague is not wind, cold, heat, humidity, or the invasion of the six evils, but because there is a strange atmosphere between heaven and earth. After the Han and Mongolian steppes increased their exchanges, the plague on the Mongolian steppes was brought to the Central Plains, due to the large number of deaths of the population, the large-scale outbreak of the plague, the drop in temperature and the drought caused the migration of rats in groups, which triggered the rapid spread of the plague The minister suggested that the local epidemic should be dealt with directly by local officials, for the "county to give medicine", involving a larger area, the imperial court sent officials to inspect the epidemic, send people to send doctors and medicines, if necessary, "the disease is treated with doctors galloping horses, the epidemic is coming, everyone must be careful." The second is to isolate the sick to prevent everyone from spreading the disease. As well as opening windows for ventilation to prevent the gathering of gas! ”

The emperor heard the confusion that Imperial Physician Liu said, but he didn't have a point, so he asked: "The evil of the epidemic, which enters from the mouth and nose, is mostly caused by unclean diet and causes damage to the spleen, stomach, intestines and other organs. ”

"The ministers flipped through countless books and ancient recipes...... A prescription has been developed, and all the doctors in Fangzitai Hospital have seen it and think it is feasible, but it has not been completely cured, but it can alleviate the symptoms, and it has been given to several sick patients to eat, and it has been proven effective, but the plague in this border land is different from here, according to the border news, the patients there are already like demons! ”

The joy on the emperor's face gradually disappeared, and there was a deep sadness between his eyebrows, "I know ......"

As she was talking, Concubine Zheng put down the bird's nest in her hand, she looked at Imperial Doctor Liu and glared, how did this method of treating the plague become only relieving symptoms, and what did the demons in the border land mean? Thinking that no matter how unreliable this Imperial Doctor Liu is, it should be much more reliable than the nonsense that Shen Guifei is talking about, thinking that this Shen Guifei has been silent for many years, and has suffered many blows recently, and there is no son and half daughter around her, she is lonely in this life, and she actually wants to rely on a child to quell a plague, that child may have been buried in the mouth of the plague, this woman may be crazy, she couldn't help but put her mind at ease again, whispered "sigh", shook her body, and held her head staggeringly.

Obviously, her actions attracted the emperor, who was faintly worried, and slowly turned around, looked at the beautiful woman, and asked, "Okay, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Imperial Doctor Liu saw the opportunity and said: "The minister listened to Niangniang's instructions on the prescription for treating the plague, thinking that he had not slept these days to find the classics, so his body was weak. ”

Shen Guifei saw that she was also surrounded by black green under her eyes, and secretly sneered in her heart, it is said that this woman has always stayed to sleep recently, and she is not the only one who has not slept well!

The emperor didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Guifei, who was very idle on the side, and said lightly: "Aiqing, step aside!" If your recipe works, use it quickly! ”

This prescription was not perfect, but it was because Zheng Guifei asked him to hurry up and suppress the limelight of this Shen Guifei, and he had no choice but to do it, and he was already nervous in his heart.

Seeing Imperial Physician Liu retreat, the emperor said indifferently: "Concubine Ai...... I have something to say to Wan'er, so when you're tired, go and rest! ”

Concubine Zheng was stunned, her stunned expression was fleeting, and she bowed and said: "The concubine will step down, my sister should naturally discuss with the emperor if she has a good way, and you have wronged the sister of the Shen family on weekdays, and the emperor should compensate her well." As he spoke, he smiled at Shen Guifei and said, "It's also this sister who has a way, and our sisters can finally rest assured." ”

Shen Guifei only smiled faintly, staring straight at her seemingly godless eyes, "Thank you sister for your care." ”
