475 died
Whether it is Chu Qingci in the past or Duanmufei now, she is the most cooperative patient, basically, she will do whatever Duanmujun asks her to do, wipe the bath, go to bed, drink medicine, and eat porridge...... She kept smiling on her face, and she would comfort Duanmujun in turn: "Sister, it's just that you have a pox, and you have also had it." ”
In the past, she had never had acne, she was not in good health since she was a child, and her grandfather and grandmother held her in the palm of their hands, cautious, for fear of an accident. But she has also seen the sisters in the house have acne, at most it is a fever, and it will be cured in seven or eight days.
Duanmu Jun couldn't laugh, "Zhen Zhen, if you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me." ”
Mama Zhang, Bi Chan and other maids were also worried, and they could all notice that more and more rashes appeared on Duanmufei's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, light red, vermilion, and crimson...... That unhealthy red color makes people's hearts hairy.
Even the little starling and the little fox realized that something was wrong with Duanmu Fei and became quiet.
Seeing that Duanmu Jun's eyebrows were tightly locked, Duanmu Fei had an idea, and said coquettishly: "Sister, I have some itching on my body, sister, are you okay to read?" ”
It's a good idea to divert attention. Duanmujun immediately responded and asked, "Zhenzhen, what do you want to hear?" ”
Duanmu Fei thought for a while, stretched out an index finger, and said with a smile: "The Story of Peony." "I couldn't finish reading "The Peony" in Jiusilou last time, so I simply asked my sister to read it to her.
Duanmujun immediately instructed Wisteria to pick up the "Peony Record" she bought last time, and then read it from the first fold according to Duanmufei's request.
Only Duanmujun's voice was left in the room, she spoke clearly, and she read at an unhurried pace, with a rhythm of eloquence.
Duanmu listened attentively, squinted with satisfaction, and slowly drank the water, cup after cup.
The rashes on her body continued to increase, and her body became more and more itchy, and her whole body was hot and uncomfortable, and a feeling of irritability slowly rose in her heart......
Before you know it, dusk has fallen, and the sky outside is dark, with a kind of depression that darkness is coming.
"Vera ......"
Even if Duanmu Fei tried her best to suppress it, the anxious aura released from her body was naturally released, Duanmu Jun worriedly put down the volume of "Peony Records" in his hand and looked at his sister worriedly.
Mama Zhang also came over, carefully looked Duanmufei on the couch up and down, and said worriedly: "This acne period is the most difficult, what do you think?" ”
Mama Zhang felt that Duanmufei's face seemed to be a little redder, and she raised her hand to test the temperature of her forehead, and her face became even more ugly, "The fourth girl is burning even more...... Quick, get water ready! ”
Fever, headache, fatigue, vomiting, etc., which were the initial symptoms of acne, Mama Zhang immediately asked the maid to bring a basin of water, carefully compressed Duanmu Fei's forehead, and fed her warm water from time to time.
Even if they were cautious and did everything they could, Duanmufei's forehead was still getting hotter and hotter, the body temperature on his body was getting higher and higher, and his cheeks were red, as if he had drunk wine.
"Zhenzhen." Seeing his sister's appearance, Duanmu Jun became more and more panicked, and instructed Wisteria, "Go and ask Dr. He." ”
Duanmufei's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound, and he felt that the skin on his body was like a fire, and now he was sitting, lying sideways, or lying on his side...... I feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
At this moment, the sky is already dark, and the night sky is full of stars, and it is already the willow tops on the moon.
There was already a curfew outside, but with the face of the Shoufu Mansion, Wisteria still successfully invited someone, and it was already half an hour later.
"Boom! Boom! ”
There was a gong sound from outside the house, loud and piercing, in this silent night, as if a hammer was hitting people's hearts, making people feel a little worried.
Dr. He was obviously woken up from the couch, his hair was still a little messy, and his eyes were sleepy.
"Doctor He, my sister fainted from burning just now, so I annoyed that Dr. Lao hurriedly took a look for her." Duanmujun was completely panicked, and secretly annoyed, feeling that she shouldn't let Dr. He go today.
Doctor He didn't dare to be slight, walked quickly to the small pestle on the side of the couch and sat down, gave Duanmu Fei a pulse, and looked at the rashes on her hands, the surface of those red rashes had begun to form some blisters, and the surrounding maids gasped.
Dr. He's face sank like water, and he hurriedly prescribed another prescription.
He had already prepared, so he came with herbs, and after adding a little more two flavors to the recipe prescribed in the afternoon, he asked the maid to go down to decoction the medicine.
After the maid decocted the medicine and fed the unconscious Duanmu Fei little by little, another half an hour had passed......
"The fever of the fourth girl still hasn't gone away." Mama Zhang repeatedly tested the body temperature of Duanmufei's forehead, and looked at her unconscious sleeping face and felt very distressed, "Doctor He, you should think of a way!" ”
Duanmu Fei, who had a high fever, had pale and chapped lips at the moment, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Mama Zhang wiped the beads of sweat on Duanmu with a handkerchief, and Bi Cicada moistened her chapped lips with cotton wool from time to time.
Duanmu frowned slightly, and sometimes her lips moved slightly, as if she was muttering something.
Duanmujun was very distressed, she only felt as if something was ripping her heart, she suppressed the sourness in her heart, tried to look at Dr. He calmly, and asked, "Doctor He, is there no other way to reduce my sister's fever?" ”
Doctor He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said worriedly: "Duanmu girl, I have rarely seen such a dangerous acne at the age of the fourth girl, generally speaking, adults after the age of seventeen or eighteen will have more serious symptoms, and the danger is ......more dangerous" But the fourth girl is only twelve years old.
Doctor He glanced at the unconscious Duanmu Fei again, and proposed: "Miss Duanmu, if you can, the girl might as well go and ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”
Duanmujun's brows were furrowed, and his face sank like water.
It stands to reason that the Shoufu Mansion is not qualified to invite a doctor, even if Duanmuxian goes to ask the emperor to give him a doctor, it will be at least after dawn tomorrow.
And now it's only two days.
"Sister......
Duanmufei, who was unconscious, muttered faintly, calling her sister for a while, her father for a while, and her mother for a while......
Her surprisingly red cheeks groaned low because her pupils were slightly distorted, and her little face couldn't hide the pain and suffering.
Duanmufei's voice made Mama Zhang's eyes red.
In the next moment, I saw Duanmu standing up and throwing down a sentence: "Mama Zhang, you are guarding Zhenzhen here, I'll find a way to ask the imperial doctor." ”
Before the words fell, Duanmu Jun had already strode out of the inner room, all the way out of the Zhanqing Courtyard, and went directly to the stable.
She took Frost out of the stable, got on her horse and was about to leave the house.
At this time, it was already the third watch, and the husband called out slowly and leisurely while watching: "The weather is dry, be careful of the candles, lock the doors and windows, and pay attention to anti-theft." ”
In the middle of the night, Duanmujun wants to go out, and the porter must stop him: "Big girl, it's all three watches, it's better to ......"
"Get out of the way!" Duanmujun gave two words in a cold voice, and the porter swallowed his saliva in fright, so he could only turn sideways and get out of the way.
In the past two years, Duanmu Jun has been in charge of the house's internal affairs, and he has accumulated a lot of power in the house, where does the porter dare to stop him, he can only watch Duanmu Jun ride his horse out of the east corner gate.
The porter scratched his ears and cheeks, looked at the back of Duanmujun, hurriedly walked back to the door, and called a porter to hurry to the old lady, regretting it in his heart, he should have asked the eldest girl where she was going!
"Gotta ......"
On the third watch, the night sky was as dark as ink, and the lights of the surrounding mansions had long been extinguished, falling into darkness and silence, only the bright moon and stars in the sky illuminated the way ahead.
In the middle of the night, the streets were empty because of the curfew, and the husband who came out of the alley watched a girl gallop by on a white horse, and staggered back several steps in fright, almost suspecting that it was a female ghost just now.
Duanmujun didn't pay attention to the husband at all, she just wanted to speed up now, and speed up again...... In the empty streets, it was speeding like lightning.
After a stick of incense, Duanmu saw the lantern with the word "Cen Fu" written on it appear in front of her, her face was happy, she clamped the horse's belly, her body was low, and Shuang Xuan ran faster.
She quickly stopped her horse at the gate of the Cen's Mansion, jumped off the horse's back neatly, and knocked on a corner door.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was silence all around, and the knock on the door was very loud and piercing.
"Coming, coming......"
After a while, the other side of the door came the voice of the porter's impatience, followed by a "squeak", the corner door was opened from the inside, and a gray-haired porter in his fifties poked his head out, sleepy-eyed on his dark face, and said unhappily: "Who? The third watch disturbs the quiet ...... in the middle of the night"
Duanmujun arched his hand at the gatehouse, and hurriedly said: "This uncle, I have something to find Gongzi Cen!" ”
The concierge looked a little strange, there is only one person surnamed Cen in this Cen Mansion, and the person the other party is looking for is naturally the Overseer, and no one has ever dared to knock on the door of Cen Mansion in the middle of the night and say that he wants to see the Overseer!
If it was someone else who came to knock on the door, the porter would have thrown the door directly, but he knew Duanmu Jun and knew that this girl was the sister of the fourth girl of Duanmu, and the fourth girl of Duanmu was the only righteous sister of the overseer.
The porter settled down, and said politely and tactfully: "Duanmu girl, it's getting late this day, the overseer must have rested...... "Except for the emperor, who has the courage to dig the superintendent Cen out of the bed."
"My sister is sick...... If you go to Tongen Gongzi, I will say that my sister is very sick. "Duanmu Jun is right.
What the?! Lord Cen Governor's righteous sister is sick?! The porter was shocked, his complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "The tired girl is here for a while, and the little one will let people go and talk." "Who doesn't know that Lord Cen regards this righteous sister as his own sister, which is not trivial.
The porter said that it was a gift, but in fact, he asked his mother-in-law to run to ask the little scorpion, and when the little scorpion heard it, he immediately went to Cen Yin's study.
It's been three watches, but Cen Yin hasn't stopped yet.
Dressed in a frost-colored tunic with long blue hair that reached his waist and a slight dampness on his hair, he was sitting by the window in the inner room of the study, slowly flipping through the book in his hand, page after page.
When the little scorpion hurriedly entered the house, he caught a glimpse of the three words "Peony Record" written on the blue cover, and he stepped forward as if nothing happened, and said concisely: "Overseer, the eldest girl of the Duanmu family is here, saying that the fourth girl is sick." ”
Cen Yin's eyebrows frowned slightly, put down the book in his hand, and ordered: "Hurry up and welcome!" ”
"Yes, Overseer." The little scorpion hurriedly took the order and quickly retreated.
Cen Yin casually picked up a moon-white ribbon and tied up his hair, picked up another moon-white straight jacket and put it on, and then walked out of the study and went in the direction of the door.
The courtyard is lit with lanterns, densely packed with fireflies that illuminate the way ahead.
Passing through a winding verandah, and through a moon cave door, Cen Yin saw Duanmu Jun hurriedly walking towards this side with the little scorpion, under the silver moonlight, the girl in the lilac cloak was in a hurry, her eyebrows were locked, and the whole person exuded a feeling of unease and anxiety.
"Master Cen ." As soon as Duanmu Jun saw Cen Yin, he called out a little excitedly and walked faster.
As soon as she was in a hurry, she didn't pay attention to her feet, and her right foot tripped over a slightly raised pebble under her feet, and she stumbled forward......
"Be careful." Cen Yin stepped forward in three steps and two steps, accurately grabbed Duanmujun's right forearm, and then helped her left elbow, Duanmujun stabilized his figure.
The night breeze blew the hair of the two of them messily, and a wisp of green silk inadvertently brushed Duan Mujun's cheeks in the night breeze, and the distance between the two was not too close, so close that Duan Mujun could see that the tips of his hair were still slightly damp, and the tip of Duanmujun's nose could vaguely smell the smell of soaphorn wafting from his body mixed with the sandalwood of the lavender robe.
Duanmu Jun looked at Cen Yin stupidly, his dark eyes widened slightly because of this accident, and his heartbeat was like a drum, thumping in his ears.
Cen Yin had never seen the generous, straightforward and capable Duanmujun, and this was the first time he had seen her so helpless, with slightly dark eyes.
He could almost feel the girl's wrist trembling slightly......
"Duanmu girl, don't worry, talk slowly if you have something." Cen Yin looked at her jet-black willow eyes and said softly, he let go of Duan Mujun's wrist, and when she stood firm, he took a step back.
In the cool night breeze, his gentle smile and unhurried voice carried a soothing power, making Duanmujun's originally restless heart feel as if he had a backbone.
Duanmu Jun looked at Cen Yin without blinking, took a step forward eagerly, and pulled Cen Yin's sleeve, "Zhen Zhen...... Zhen Zhen, she has a pox. Her eyes were slightly red.
Of course, the little scorpion in the back also saw this scene, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he silently lowered his eyes to look at the tips of his shoes, and said in his heart: If there is really a sister, there must be a sister, and the sisters of these four girls are really as bold as her.
Cen Yin looked at Duanmu Jun's right hand holding his sleeve with a sluggish gaze, her fingertips slightly white from nervousness and worry, and her fingers tightened.
Cen was invisible, but he didn't move after all.
"What did the doctor say?" He motioned for her to continue with a gentle gaze, a shallow smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Zhen Zhen, she has a high fever now, fainted, and the doctor said that it was a little ......dangerous," Duanmujun said with a slightly choked voice, and told her that she had found a rash on her sister in the afternoon, to the fact that she was later diagnosed with acne by the doctor, and the doctor's proposal to invite a doctor.
The night breeze was gentle, and her voice was the only one left around, intertwined with the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves.
The cold moonlight wrapped a layer of silver halo around Cen Yin's body, illuminating the moon-white straight on his body like frost and snow.
At this moment, he did not see the evil and dangerous aura on his body, and the whole person seemed to be renewed, exuding an elegant temperament like a fairy, with his beautiful face, as if he was about to ride the wind at any time.
Duanmu Jun subconsciously tightened Cen Yin's sleeves, as if this way he would not float away, as if he could get strength from it, and her mind gradually calmed down.
Cen Yin looked at Duanmu Jun's six gods and ownerless appearance, gave her a reassuring smile, and then turned his head and instructed the little scorpion: "Little scorpion, you personally go and ask the imperial doctor to go to Duanmu Mansion." ”
"Yes, Overseer." The little scorpion took the order.
"Miss Duanmu, don't worry," Cen Yin comforted softly, "Imperial Doctor Li from Tai Hospital is the best at treating acne rashes, Ling Mei will definitely be fine." ”
Duanmu Jun looked up at Cen Yin's eyes that were particularly deep in the moonlight, and her reason gradually returned, she suddenly realized that her behavior was a little inappropriate, and quickly let go of his sleeves, showing a rare hint of surprise on her bright face, and said, "Master Cen, thank you very much." ”
This is another expression that Duanmu Jun rarely shows on weekdays, Cen Yin's long and narrow eyes rippled slightly, and he took half a step back, "It's just a trivial matter." ”
When there were only the two of them left, for some reason, Duanmu Jun felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, her ears were slightly hot, thinking about what happened tonight, her thoughts were still a little confused.
When Dr. He proposed to invite a doctor, her first reaction was to come to Cen Yin, and her actions were faster than her thoughts...... It's like she firmly believes that Cen Yin will definitely help her.
Thinking about it, her heart pounded twice.
"Duanmu girl......" Cen Yin looked at Duanmu Jun's face and called softly.
Duanmujun's body was tense, his mind was still in chaos, and he cleared his throat and said, "Young Master Cen, then I'll go back first." ”
Cen Yin looked up at the flawless crescent moon in the night sky and said, "Duanmu girl, I'll send you." There is a curfew outside, and your girl's house is not safe. ”
Cen Yin was kind, and Duanmujun accepted it without twisting, she wanted to go back to see her sister quickly...... I don't know what happened to my sister now. Thinking about it, her brow furrowed.
Cen Yin stretched out his hand to make a plea, motioning for her to come with him, and the two walked side by side in the direction of the gate.
The porter prepared the horse for Cen Yin as quickly as possible, and saw Cen Yin and Duanmu Jun go out one after the other, and sighed in his heart: The fourth girl is worthy of being the righteous sister of the overseer! The overseer simply treats the four girls as the meat of his heart, and when he sees the two girls of the Duanmu family in the future, he must be more respectful.
The two of them galloped side by side along the empty street, and there was no one in the dimly lit street, as if they were the only ones left in the world.
"Gotta ......"
The clear sound of horses' hooves seemed to overlap with another voice, clearly echoing in Cen Yin's ears.
Cen Yin turned her head to look at Duanmu beside her, her breathing was slightly suffocated, and her delicate side face was clearly lined, like a clear orchid, bright and beautiful.
"Cen Gongzi ......"
Duanmu Jun originally wanted to tell Cen Yin that there was a shortcut to Duanmu Mansion in front of him, but when he turned his head, he happened to meet Cen Yin's bright gaze, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
When the two looked at each other, a flash of light flashed in Cen Yin's narrow eyes, and he had nothing to say: "Duanmu girl, how could Sister Ling get chickenpox?" "Chickenpox doesn't come out of nowhere, it's mostly contracted from somewhere else.
Duanmujun was stunned again, and subconsciously slowed down his horse's speed.
Cen Yin said that Duanmujun actually knew it, but it was only because Duanmufei's illness came urgently in the afternoon, and Duanmujun cared about it, so he didn't think about it.
"Recently, Zhen Zhen hasn't gone out in the mansion, which is ......" Duanmujun remembered something, "Ten days ago, the day we met on Qimen Street, I went to Jiusiban with her to watch a play. From beginning to end, she has been with Duanmu Fei.
Wait a minute!
Duanmu Jun strained the horse rope suddenly, and the frost under his crotch seemed to sense Duanmu Jun's emotions and let out a slight neighing sound.
Duanmujun's eyes flashed quickly like a marquee in the Jiusiban that day, that day, she, Duanmufei and Wuyang had been sitting in the elegant seat, and the people they had come into contact with were except for the little two who were entertained by Jiusiban, that is, the father and daughter of Prince Ashina of the Huaqu clan.
"We also 'bumped into' Prince Ashina and Lord Kemin in Jiusiban......" Duanmu Jun muttered unconsciously.
Thinking back to the scene at this moment, Duanmu Jun couldn't help but think that Lord Kemin seemed to be scratching the back of her hand from time to time, and her neck and ears also seemed to have some light red marks.
"Duanmu girl......" Cen Yin saw that Duanmu seemed to remember something, and wanted to ask, but was interrupted by a messy sound of horses' hooves in front of him.
More than a dozen Yu Linwei with torches and wearing copper helmets and iron armor turned around from the street in front of them, and collided with Cen Yin and Duanmujun, the distance between the two sides was only about thirty zhang, and those Yu Linwei certainly saw the two people galloping on the street.
"Phew!"
Those Yulin guards stopped their horses one after another, and the torches in their hands burned brightly, illuminating the front and back seven or eight feet away.
A bearded man beside the squad leader, Yu Lin Wei, angrily reprimanded: "Who are you, so bold, it's a curfew now, and you dare to walk around outside at will!" ”
This group of Yu Linwei just blocked the way, Duanmu Jun and Cen Yin had to slow down their horses, and the two sides confronted each other not close or far.
The head of the squad didn't intend to make a sound, but he saw a pair of young men and women galloping on the street from a distance, he only thought that it was the son and girl of a large family who eloped in the middle of the night, so he thought that his subordinates would deal with the two people, however, just when he was about to continue forward, his eyes suddenly saw the young noble son in front of him......
This, this is ......
The head of the squad recognized Cen Yin at once, his pupils shrank sharply, and he happened to see the bearded Yu Lin Wei beside him raise his hand and make a gesture: "Brothers, these two people are suspicious, take them down......"
"Presumptuous!" The team leader hurriedly interrupted the bearded Yu Linwei, feeling that this kid was really deadly! Even Cen Yin dared to stop him, and he wanted to bring Cen Yin back......
"Lord Cen Governor." The head of the squad smiled and arched his hand at Cen Yin, smiling flatteringly and flatteringly, "It's strange that the little eyes are clumsy, I didn't recognize it just now." If you are offended, I hope the Overseer will not be surprised! ”
What the?! The bearded Yu Lin Wei couldn't believe his ears, and his lips trembled. Lord Cen Governor, now there is only one Lord Cen in this capital, and that one is a man with monstrous authority, and he can cover the sky with one hand!
How could this young man in front of him, dressed in a moon-white robe and like a scholarly man, be the ruthless Dongchang factory governor?!
The bearded Yu Lin Wei was so frightened that he slipped off the horse and fell on all fours, embarrassed.
Cen Yin didn't even glance at the bearded Yu Lin Wei, and said to the team leader with a faint expression: "Don't blame those who don't know." ”
The head of the team breathed a sigh of relief, quite a kind of happiness to pick up his life, so that his subordinates hurriedly gave way to Lord Cen Governor, those Yu Linwei were a little frightened, and stood on both sides as quickly as possible, and guarded on both sides of the street in a proper manner, even the bearded man who had just fallen on the horse also led the horse to the side and avoided it, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, wishing that Cen Yin would forget him. lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, wishing that Cen Yin had forgotten him.
