Chapter 284: Self-blame
Yan Qi glanced at him lightly: "I can't handle it myself, and the prince is even more hopeless." ”
The crown prince knew that he was saying that he was not as favored as him in front of his father, and he was blocked and speechless for a while.
Yan Qi saw him deflated, and he laughed in his heart.
Glancing at the incense burner burning with wormwood, he said, "How is the poisoned person?" ”
The prince sighed when he heard this: "I was infected with the epidemic, and I was already weak, and I was poisoned. He shook his head as he spoke, and sighed softly: "Life and death are fate." ”
It was rare for Yan Qi to hear the prince say such frustrating words, which showed that the situation was not optimistic.
He got up and said, "I'll take a look." ”
When the prince heard this, he hurriedly grabbed him, and reprimanded him coldly: "You are messing around! ”
Yan Qi frowned and pulled out the clothes he was pulling, and said impatiently: "What? ”
The prince looked at him and asked what was wrong, and he wanted to pry his head open to see what was inside!
glared and said: "That's the epidemic area, you don't want to die!" ”
Yan Qi pulled his lips lightly, and his smile was a little mocking: "Didn't the prince just say that life and death are fateful?" ”
The prince was blocked again.
The prince took Xin and Jiang Ji, and Yan Qi took Baixiang and Bian Yushan to avoid the courtiers who came with the prince, so as not to be seen by them, and they had to kneel down and cry and beg to say a big channel to disturb their ears.
Quietly descended the mountain, and arrived outside the epidemic isolation area, and before a few people could enter, they encountered two rough envoys carrying a corpse out.
The corpse was covered with a white cloth, and a thin arm with only a layer of skin was hanging out of the plank, swinging and swaying as the rough servants walked, but it was completely lifeless.
Yan Qi watched the roar tightened, and his heart couldn't stop twisting.
If there is no problem with the herbs, this person may be able to live.
It was his mistakes and omissions that caused the deaths of innocent people.
The prince saw that his face was blue, and he couldn't say anything comforting, but only patted him on the shoulder.
Jiang Ji took out the face towel that had been prepared a long time ago and said, "Although it doesn't have a big effect, it always doesn't hurt to tie it." ”
Hearing this, Bian Yushan nodded in agreement, snatched one with his hand, and tightly tied his mouth and nose.
Yan Qi took it and tied it a little indifferently, and followed the prince in.
Rows of grass and wooden huts, without doors and windows, without walls, lay one after another terminally ill people on simple wooden beds.
The impact of this scene was extremely strong in Yan Qi's eyes, and his roar seemed to be choked, and his breathing became difficult.
The imperial physician and the local doctor roamed between the beds with the examination boxes, and a few rough servants carried large trays with bowls of soup and medicine on the plates, and distributed them to each patient.
With the hope of survival, they drank the decoction unsuspectingly.
Thinking that they had also drunk the poisonous decoction like this a few days ago, Yan Qi was dyed with cold cream between his eyebrows, and his eyes were struggling with pain.
The prince didn't plan to take him to the depths, and said, "It's all the same." ”
As he spoke, a gray-haired old man not far away coughed violently, and the imperial doctor hurried over when he saw this, and just as he was about to apply the needle, the old man blushed, vomited a pool of blood, and lay down on his back, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
This scene happened in front of him, Yan Qi was deeply touched, and he was about to step forward without thinking, but was stopped by Baixiang.
The crown prince also clasped his shoulders and whispered, "It won't help you if you go!" As he spoke, he walked out with him: "Get out of here with me!" ”
Xin waited outside, holding a tray with a decoction on the tray.
The prince took off his scarf, drank a bowl with an expressionless face, and handed another bowl to Yan Qi.
Yan Qi took it and drank it.
Bian Yushan smelled it, the bitter and sour taste was disgusting, but he had just entered the epidemic area, in order to prevent infection with the epidemic, this bitterness was nothing, and he pinched his nose and poured a bowl.
Jiang Ji and Baixiang also drank a bowl, and the empty medicine bowl was placed on the tray to thank Xin.
The group went up the mountain in silence.
Xin saw that Yan Qi was extremely silent, and said puzzledly: "What's wrong with Young Master Qi?" ”
Thinking of something, he frowned and said, "Isn't it that when I just went to serve the medicine, the two of them quarreled again?" ”
Jiang Ji looked at Xin with a heartbroken look and said, "There was no quarrel." Saying that, he glanced at Yan Qi's back and guessed: "He should blame himself." ”
Xin was relieved to hear that there was no quarrel.
Knowing what Yan Qi blamed himself, he said in a low voice: "The matter of herbs is not the fault of Young Master Qi. ”
"Besides, these people are infected with the epidemic, and there is little hope of survival."
Jiang Ji didn't speak again.
He didn't have a good impression of Yan Qi as a person, but he had to admit that Yan Qi was a person with good thoughts and righteousness
Dinner had already been prepared in the Land Temple, and the prince and Yan Qi cleaned their hands.
At the round table, there was no priority, and the two sat casually.
The prince looked at the dishes and said, "It's not as good as Jingli." ”
Yan Qi thought of the scene he saw all the way, and then looked at the six steaming dishes on the table, and said, "It's already very good." ”
The prince nodded with a smile when he heard this, and praised: "Well, I am indeed sensible. ”
Yan Qi frowned and glared at him.
The prince laughed.
Yan Qi saw him laughing like this, he lost his temper and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Halfway through, Xin came in and said, "Lord Shi learned that Qi Gongzi was coming and wanted to come in to say goodbye." ”
The prince knew that Yan Qi didn't like to deal with the officials of the court and the central government very much, so he didn't respond when he heard the words, looked at the person opposite and asked for his wishes.
Yan Qi swallowed the food, teased his eyelids and looked at Xin: "Please what's safe, I'm fine." ”
The prince said: "He is the governor of the two lakes, and this disaster relief depends on the Qi family firm, so it is normal for him to come to you to say goodbye." ”
If you don't come, the prince will have to consider the asbestos's character!
Yan Qi put down his chopsticks when he heard this: "The prince has spoken for him, so please come in." ”
Xin bowed his head and led a person in a moment.
As soon as Asbestos entered the house, he had to kowtow to Yan Qi.
Yan Qi couldn't stand this, and hurriedly said: "Don't don't, this is the Land Temple, I'm no bigger than the Land God, Lord Shi must not fold my life." ”
As soon as Asbestos heard this, his bent knees were not straight, nor were he kneeling, and he stiffened for a while, and looked at the prince at a loss.
The prince laughed amused by his words, looked at the asbestos projection, and said softly: "Zi'an has always been a corporal of Lixian, so Lord Shi doesn't need to be polite." ”
Asbestos had no choice but to stand up straight, and shook Yan Qi to the end, saying: "Thank you for all this that Qi Gongzi has done for the victims of the two lakes, Weichen and thousands of victims will definitely be grateful and will never forget." ”
Yan Qi nodded, casually greeted a few perfunctory words, sent the person away, and continued to eat.
The prince saw that he was eating happily and said, "It's a pity that he has such a good eloquence and doesn't deal with people." ”
Yan Qi snorted and said, "Dealing with people is also divided. ”
The prince continued: "When you leave Beijing, what is the direction of the wind in the capital? ”
Yan Qi continued to pretend not to understand, and thought for a while: "It's probably a southwest wind." ”
Prince: ""
