Chapter 20: The Prince Awakens

"Netherworld Dark Fire ranks fourth in the Langya master list, it stands to reason that there is no need to be controlled by anyone, but in order not to be captured, he actually jumped off a cliff and committed suicide, and now it is inferred that he should be under the orders of Puyang Ying......" Xiao Pingzhang carefully combed through the clues, "Duan Tongzhou's body is embroidered as a double flower, so he is a real Ye Lingzi." And Ye Lingzi's status is respected, and the only ones who can make them bow down and obey their orders are the monarch and the palace school. When no one in the Qin royal family was spared on Chinese New Year's Eve, Puyang Ying could not be the monarch, it could only be the palm honor. ”

"But with Puyang Ying's age, thirty years ago, I am afraid that he was thirteen or fourteen years old, if it is said to be Zhangzun, it is too young......" Xun Feizhan frowned, "According to what you say, Puyang Ying should be the remnant of the Night Qin, and the hatred of the night Qin country should be counted on the Changlin Army and His Majesty, so it is too unreasonable to make the capital the second night Qin country, right?" ”

"Paranoid in my heart, seeing everything as a grudge, where is there any reason?" Xiao Pingzhang shook his head, took out a piece of cloth, and opened it in front of Xun Feizhan, but it was a detailed map of Jinling City, looking at the entire appearance in his eyes, "Feizhan, you said Puyang Ying, where would he hide?" ”

Although it was a question, his gaze fell on one place, and Xun Feizhan followed that gaze, but it was a small lonely mountain not far from Jinling.

"You mean......" Xun Feizhan believed in Xiao Pingzhang's judgment, just because from the time he knew this person, he never missed it. Although he didn't understand why it couldn't be somewhere else, but strategy was not his forte, so he didn't ask much, and the two of them took soldiers and horses to ban Xiaogu Mountain, starting from the foot of the mountain, and carefully searched for the mountain.

But it was said that Chixia Town had originally closed the road section, but there was already a sick situation in the city, so this roadblock was meaningless, Lin Xi was worried about the situation in the city, and as soon as the roadblock was passed, he immediately went to the city, Xiao Pingjing naturally followed step by step. From time to time, people fell down on the road, and they were all immediately sent to Jifutang.

At this time, there is no prosperity in the huge Jinling City, and there is a faint sense of gloom, since ancient times, it is talking about the epidemic color change, and no one is not panicking. Fortunately, the prince handled it properly, blocked the city gate of the four directions, and set an example, and no one from the emperor's relatives, relatives, officials, and nobles went out of the city to avoid disasters, although the people were panicked, but they believed that the court would not give up on them, so there was no chaos.

Jifeng Hall was already overcrowded, the front hall and the back hall were full of patients, and from time to time there were suppressed cries, and the doctors of the Tai Medical Department and Jifeng Hall were in a hurry to decoct medicine to take care of the patients. After the imperial doctor ordered Tang Zhiyu and Li Qianzhi to check the patient's condition, they sat opposite each other in the inner room, their brows furrowed.

"Old hall master, although this epidemic is the same as thirty years ago, the prescription has little effect, so it can be seen that there have been changes. Nowadays, the condition of many people has deteriorated, and if we can't find a way, I'm afraid that the scene of Yeling will reappear in Jinling. Tang Zhiyu sighed and was worried, "Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his mother to take care of him, and his condition has not worsened, but if he can't find a way, he may not be able to hold on." ”

"What's the problem?" Li Qianzhi frowned, analyzing the prescriptions of the last few times, but he didn't have a clue.

The eaves of the courtyard were full of medicine jars, and the smoke was swirling on them, Lin Xi wrapped the lid with a cloth from time to time to open it to see and smell it, and his face, which had never had much expression, was already sweating like rain.

Xiao Pingjing, who is not very serious on weekdays, is helping to pick up medicine, suddenly raised his eyes and saw Lin Xi's sweaty face, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and handed it to the person's eyes, facing the puzzled eyes, suddenly his heart seemed to stop, and suddenly he jumped wildly, and his face as thick as the city wall was rare with a hint of red, and the mouth that could speak suddenly didn't know what to say, seeing that Lin Xi didn't answer for a long time, he said to Ai Ai: "That...... Lin Xi, you see you're busy...... I'm going to sweat in my eyes......"

He wanted to wipe it directly, but after looking at Lin Xi's cold face, after all, he had a thief's heart and no thief's courage, and saw Lin Xi's eyes staring at the square handkerchief without moving, so he was a little cramped, and his actions were one step ahead of his mind, he pulled Lin Xi's empty hand, stuffed it into someone's hand, and ran to the hospital to ask about the patient's situation as if he had escaped.

Not to mention the grim situation outside the palace, Xiao Jingning almost always stayed in front of Xiao Yuanshi's bed, and Xiao Yuanshi's fever couldn't go down at all. She didn't have much to do, she wet the towel with hot water herself, and kept wiping her body, although she couldn't lower her body temperature, she didn't continue to rise. In the past few days, she no longer has the energy to think about her master, not even Xiao Xin, her nominal husband, and she only has the little person on the bed in her eyes.

I don't know if it's because she didn't have a child before she died, obviously she didn't get along for long, she has completely taken this little person to heart, what ruthlessness to break his innocence, and cultivate him into a Mingjun The mind is now not seen at all, just hope that this child can survive this catastrophe, if the person dies, all these plans have become empty talk.

"Niangniang, can you rest for a while?" Su Ying was very distressed, originally she was a slave, how could she rest if her master didn't rest, but Xiao Jingning had been guarding the prince, but she didn't embarrass these slaves, even she was often driven down by the queen to rest, but how could Su Ying rest peacefully. If there were some doubts about the queen's sudden change before, but now it is gone, the master is still the master who regards the prince as his life, but there may be some things that he has thought about, but he understands it more clearly than before. Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, Su Ying tried her best to persuade Xiao Jingning, hoping that she could lie down and rest, "If you all fall, what will the prince do?" ”

Maybe it's because of Xiao Jingning's changes these days, Su Ying is faintly developing towards the trend of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, which was impossible before, Queen Xun attaches great importance to the rules, even she doesn't dare to take a wrong step, but now she only hopes that the master's mother-in-law's body will not collapse, and she persuades people with hard words.

It's not that Xiao Jingning doesn't understand the reason, it's just that Xiao Yuanshi's body temperature is still high, and she doesn't dare to leave the child with her eyes, she doesn't feel sleepy at all, and she is unmoved no matter how Su Ying persuades her. Until she saw Xiao Yuanshi's eyelids seemed to be jumping, she immediately stared at the closed eyes.

I never felt that time had passed so long, until Xiao Yuanshi opened his eyes and shouted the "Queen Mother" softly and glutinously, Xiao Jingning suddenly burst into tears and hugged the person in his arms, "Yuanshi, you finally woke up...... Because she had not rested well, her voice was also hoarse.

Su Ying hurriedly sent someone to the outer hall to ask for the imperial doctor, and her words were full of joy, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can be regarded as awake, Niangniang hasn't closed her eyes much in the past month, you can persuade Niangniang quickly." Five days ago, Your Highness, you had a high fever that did not go away, but Niangniang has been staying in front of your bed, and she does not want to leave for a single step......"

"Queen Mother......" Xiao Yuanshi had just woken up, and he didn't have the strength yet, he rubbed this warm embrace and gently pushed Xiao Jingning, "It's the son's unfilial piety, which makes the queen mother worry about ......."

While the mother and son were talking, the imperial doctor hurriedly ran in, checked for Xiao Yuanshi, and then said to Xiao Jingning: "Since Your Highness has woken up, this is stable, and you need to rest for a good life......
