Chapter 36: The Outbreak of the Plague

So Gu Yan said to Shen Qianshan: "I haven't sorted it out today, and when I finish it, I'll come to you again, or through Jinye, right?" ”

Shen Qianshan nodded, and Jin Ye walked up and said to him: "Lord Wang, there is news from the palace that the Queen Mother has been infected with the plague. ”

Originally, Jin Ye was going to come over to send Gu Yan back, but she didn't expect to bring such terrible news, she turned her head to look at the situation in front of her at this time and didn't make a sound.

The Queen Mother is Shen Qianshan's mother, Gu Yan knows how bad his reaction is at this time, but she can't do anything.

Shen Qianshan bit his lip and said to Jin Ye: "I know, I will go to the palace to meet the queen mother immediately." ”

"I'm afraid not, I heard a letter from someone in the palace saying that the Queen Mother has been quarantined." Jin Ye said helplessly.

Outrageous? That's the Queen Mother, is it like to isolate the Queen Mother?

Shen Qianshan immediately got up and said to Jin Ye: "Send your sister-in-law back, protect it, I want to enter the palace." ”

After saying that, he tapped on his toes, stepped on the surrounding buildings and flew out.

This action is light and indifferent, Gu Yan feels very handsome when she looks at it, but what did Shen Qianshan call herself just now? Sister-in-law? It's a bit ambiguous.

At this time, she couldn't take care of it much, so Gu Yan followed the carriage prepared by Jinye and returned to Gu's house.

When she arrived at Gu's house, it was already evening, and after Jinye sent her, she disappeared into the night, not even leaving a word.

After a bumpy day, Gu Yan felt that her body was about to collapse, but when she returned to Gu's house, she still opened the door and saw the mother-in-law beside the Ye family standing at the door of her yard listening to the wind and snow, and she was very pitiful and shrunk beside her, probably because she had been waiting for a long time.

When the mother-in-law saw Gu Yan coming back, she hurriedly walked up to her and said to her, "Girl, we have been waiting for a long time, and Mrs. is invited." ”

After speaking, the mother-in-law stood next to her and looked at Gu Yan proudly, hoping that she could follow her.

Gu Yan had a cold face, turned her head to look at Tingfeng, she was very indifferent, nodded to Gu Yan, and she was willing to follow her mother-in-law to the direction of the main hall.

The sky gradually darkened, the main hall was brightly lit, Ye and Gu Zhihua sat in front of a round table and drank tea, the fragrance of tea wafted out far away, when Gu Yan walked to the door, he smelled the fragrant fragrance of tea, closed his eyes, and found that he hadn't eaten for a day, but it was better not to eat the things on Ye's side.

Gu Yan walked in and greeted Ye's family, she looked up and said to Gu Yan very pretendly: "Sister-in-law, do you have someone you like recently, why can't you see anyone all day long?" ”

This is saying that he didn't greet her, and sure enough, the rules killed people, Gu Yan hurriedly smiled and said: "How dare you like others, you naturally have to conform to nature." ”

If you like it or not, you won't tell you that you are an old immortal, Gu Yan lowered her head and rolled her eyes, then raised her head and smiled at Ye.

Ye Shi actually knew that Gu Yan didn't have a good face for herself at all, so she didn't talk nonsense, and said slowly: "You already know about the Queen Mother's illness, right?" These days, there are suddenly a lot of people from all over the world suddenly pouring into the capital, you have to be careful, don't be infected, but you know? ”

Although Ye Shi wished that Gu Yan would have any accidents, the plague was different, if she got the plague, wouldn't she infect these people first?

Gu Yan was shocked, the Empress Dowager's condition and the situation were already clear, but she didn't know about the large influx of victims in the capital.

"Thank you mother for the reminder." Gu Yan got up as she spoke, and after giving Ye a new salute, she slowly retreated.

Ye's eyes flashed, although she didn't know what Gu Yan meant by leaving so early, it seemed that she didn't like to listen to herself, and it was true that she didn't like to talk to Gu Yan either, but under one roof, she always had to live if she looked up and didn't look down.

When Gu Yan returned to the courtyard, Tingfeng hurriedly greeted her, carefully checked whether there were any scars on her body, and found that she was safe and sound.

Sitting in the courtyard, Gu Yan was worried, although she didn't care about everything, plus the plague and the victims were things that could not be controlled, but she always felt that this was a key point, if this matter was not handled well, it was very likely that everything would change, of course, every step now would change in the future.

Tingfeng made tea for Gu Yan, stood quietly beside her, with no expression on her face, watched her drink the tea, and said to Tingfeng: "Go investigate the situation of these victims." ”

Listening to the wind and nodding down, Fuxue came up and continued to serve Gu Yan to drink tea and eat snacks, it was dark, but Gu Yan still didn't sleep, until Tingfeng came back safely, her heart was finally put down.

"How's your inquiry?" Gu Yan pulled out a chair for Tingfeng and asked her to sit down.

Listening to the wind, he patted his chest and said: "The situation is even worse than imagined, although the upper authorities sent people to thoroughly investigate the cause of the disease and started disaster relief, but the situation has not improved, the entire capital has been blocked, people outside can't come in, people inside can't go out." ”

I didn't expect that in just a few days, things would become like this, and Gu Yan even felt that the capital was shrouded in a huge weird atmosphere.

"Always have the money ready and the medicine, if not, go to my eldest brother and get some back." Gu Yan said to Tingfeng.

Listening to the wind and nodding, Gu Yan returned to the room to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Yan sat in the bedroom and stared out the window in a daze, rushed in hurriedly listening to the wind, and said loudly to Gu Yan: "Girl, pack up and prepare to enter the palace." ”

"Why do you want to enter the palace?" Gu Yan turned her head and frowned, helpless when she heard the wind, and then said: "I heard that the treasury is short of money, and the queen mother presided over the middle feed, and asked the ladies and ladies of each family to enter the palace for dinner." ”

The so-called dining in the palace is actually just a pretense, if the treasury has no money, then the purpose of the queen is to ask the ladies and ladies of each family to enter the palace to donate money.

But why did you have to follow into the palace? Since it's no longer as rich as it used to be, don't set up a banquet, just donate money, and sure enough, even if this royal family is down, it has to find a reason.

"Miss, are you going to bring all our money over and donate it?" Listening to the wind, Gu Yan said that last night Gu Yan also said that he would keep the money for the river, but he didn't expect to use the money today.

Gu Yan shook her head, "No need, we just need to go to the palace." ”

As he spoke, he got up to clean up, and when he arrived at the door, Ye and Gu Zhihua were already waiting there, because to show closeness, the family naturally had to make a carriage.

Compared with the heavy makeup and glamorous makeup painted by Ye and Gu Zhi, Gu Yan is a little fresher and more natural.

Sitting in the carriage, this small carriage was full of the smell of rouge from these two people, which made Gu Yan dizzy.

"What did you prepare for the queen today?" Ye Shi stretched out his delicate hand, the nails on that hand were very long, and Gu Yan felt uncomfortable looking at it.

What is today's purpose naturally does not need to be explained, but Gu Yan still pretended not to know and asked, "What are you going to prepare?" My mother also knows that my life is very shabby, how can I see people's things? If Mother could take me along with my things, I'd be very grateful to you. ”

Ye's face instantly turned cold, and he turned his head and stared at Gu Yan viciously, this woman is really annoying, and she is not ready to wait for someone else to wipe your buttocks? Naturally, the Ye family would not do such a stupid thing, so he could only smile and say: "Sister-in-law is just joking, I think I'm ready to give the queen a big gift, right?" ”

In the past, the ladies and ladies of these big officials could always receive invitations from the queen's mother, and when they left, they would be rewarded by the royal family more or less.

Everyone has lived in this capital for so many years, if you still can't see this little thing, isn't it too stupid and naΓ―ve?

After Ye Shi said this, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, for fear that Gu Yan would use this excuse to ask for something to give to a queen mother, and one more thing would make her more happy, which would be much more useful than helping her.

When they arrived at the palace, all the ladies and ladies were gathered in a small courtyard with a row of tables in the middle. Unlike the previous extravagant pomp, at this time, there were just some random fruits on the table, and they were all worthless.

Gu Yan stood in the corner and smelled all kinds of fragrances that rushed to her nose, and instantly felt like she was going to faint from this fragrance.

At present, the queen is sitting in front of the table, the queen is not very old, her appearance is exquisite, and she has a unique charm, which makes people look very comfortable at a glance.

At this time, the queen mother was talking to a lady and a young lady of the official family in the capital, and the family handed over the things they had given to the queen mother, with a smile on their faces from time to time. Gu Yan suddenly thought of the long, long dream she had had, the queen mother in it, that was her own face, if she wore such clothes, what kind of effect would it be?

Thinking about it, Gu Yan was distracted, but she didn't want to suddenly all the people around her look at her.

When Gu Yan came back to her senses, she saw that Ye and Gu Zhihua were already standing in front of the queen, handing the treasure they were carrying to the queen's mother.

The queen mother carefully looked at the baby handed by Ye, and basically estimated the price, this is really a good baby, and then Ye suddenly reached out and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, put it in the tray containing the baby, and handed it to the queen mother.
