The human heart is the most important thing. The more we are afflicted by illness, the more we must not lose hope and faith.

When Meng Xilan said this, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of momentum of not admitting defeat, as if she was fully sure that everyone would be safe.

Up and down the garrison camp, they all knew that there were people in the palace and a will.

Originally, everyone was dissatisfied with the emperor's approach, and there were quite a few complaints, and there would be people who had contributed to the disaster relief here, but the emperor directly ordered them to be blocked out of the city...... However, now there is a big man in the palace, Princess Wenning, the righteous daughter who is personally accepted by the Queen Mother, and her status is naturally not trivial. Presumably, with her and the four princes here, the emperor will definitely try his best to solve their difficulties, otherwise, he will lose a son and a godsister, how can the emperor be reluctant? How can the Queen Mother be reluctant? After thinking about it like this, the mood of the soldiers became a lot more steady.

Meng Xilan found an open space, followed the soldiers to fetch firewood, and set up a large cauldron, which had to be constantly boiling for twelve hours a day for peacetime.

Gao Fuli used to be a person who was used to doing rough work, and his hands and feet were quite neat, but he only took these people to work for nearly an hour, and he only supported two pots.

Although everyone didn't say a word "tired", Meng Xilan was not without thought in her heart. She instructed Gao Fuli to take care of the pot, add firewood in time, and never let the water cool down. Then I went to my father's tent, but when I heard that my father was coughing, my heart suddenly became cold.

Could it be that my father was also infected......

When Meng Zhenglu saw her suddenly come in, he hurriedly held his breath and held back his cough.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back: "Father, don't put up with ......"

Meng Zhenglu really coughed again, and his face was unusually flushed.

Meng Xilan's mind gradually sank, but she still lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Meng Zhenglu quickly brushed her hand away, covered her mouth and said in a weak voice: "Don't get close to your father, I'm afraid it's going to be bad for your father......"

His own body, he knows it in his own heart. After Meng Xiran fell ill, he thought about it every day and night, and coupled with the fatigue of the previous carriage and horses, his body was already unbearable. It's just that there are hundreds of people inside and outside the garrison camp, and everything is pointing to him alone to get ideas, and he doesn't dare to fall, so he can only hold on.

Xu Yes, the string in his body was too tight, and when he saw his daughter, he couldn't hold it anymore.

Meng Xilan hugged her father, except for the distress on her face, she couldn't bear it: "No, my father must be tired from working hard all day long." Now the daughter can help her brother share her father's worries together, the father can rest at ease, and the daughter will take good care of the father, so that you don't have to work so hard anymore. ”

Meng Zhenglu waved his hand dejectedly: "Silly girl is obedient, you don't want your father to take care of you, as long as you take care of yourself, it can be regarded as the greatest filial piety to your father." Speaking of this, his gaze became darker: "Lan'er, your mother went early, if something happens to you, how should you face your mother when you come to the spring after becoming a father." ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she couldn't help but feel sour, but she forced back her tears.

Tears are the most useless thing. She couldn't let her father upset her.

"Father, don't say such things, make your daughter sad. The father should take good care, not only for his daughter, but for the dozens of people up and down the Meng family. Meng Xilan said as she helped him to the chair to rest. Father is so good to sit down, I'll go and ask Zhuqing to make tea for you and moisten your throat. ”

Meng Xilan walked out of the tent and couldn't help but take a long breath.

She knew her father's temper too well, and if she insisted on being by his side, it would only backfire.

Thinking of this, Meng Xilan called Zhu Qing to him: "In the past few days, you don't have to do anything, just serve the good master." Remember, everything is according to Master Jiao's orders, and you can't go wrong for half a minute. Also, you can't make a mistake with your so-so, don't talk too much, be careful in everything, you know? ”

Zhu Qing nodded vigorously, knowing the importance in her heart, not to mention that it was her own master, she must take care of it.

Meng Xilan didn't want to bother her father with things anymore, so she went to find her eldest brother Meng Xizhao.

"Big brother, there are not enough people in the camp, we have to find some people to come over, and it is easy to do things with more people."

Meng Xizhao was stunned when she heard this, only to feel that her sister's idea was too simple.

"Lan'er, you came from the capital, you must have seen it, how afraid everyone is of this matter. Now that the news of the epidemic has spread, everyone is afraid, who will be willing to come and die. The imperial physician in the palace is acting on orders, do you want the emperor to make another decree and recruit troops? ”

Meng Xilan shook her head, as if she had an idea in her heart: "This matter, naturally don't bother the emperor." As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, as long as you are willing to pay a high price, no one dares to come. ”

"Human life is at stake, how can anyone dare to earn such silver?" Meng Xizhao still disagreed.

Meng Xilan slowly stretched out three fingers and said quietly: "Whether it succeeds or not, it's better to let me give it a try." Within three days, I will find the right person. ”

"In three days?" Meng Xizhao repeated, as if he didn't believe it.

Meng Xilan nodded lightly.

She wrote ten notices in her own hand, handed them to Gao Welfare and pasted them on the places where the villagers walked back and forth, the meaning of the above was concise and concise, it was nothing more than a heavy amount of money, recruiting people to do miscellaneous labor, not only the salary was good, but also once someone accidentally lost their lives due to work, the family could receive twenty taels of funeral expenses.

Gao Fuli couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw her writing so directly: "Master, aren't you telling others that you will die when you come...... So who would dare to come? ”

Meng Xilan put down the brush, "It's because it's so straightforward that someone will be willing to come." The infamy of the epidemic is outside, not to mention coming to work, even if you walk around the outside of the camp, it is estimated that some people will feel that they are going to die. In that case, it's better to spend money on a good one. People are afraid of death, but they are also greedy for money, so there will always be people who will come. ”

When Gao Welfare heard this, he felt that what the master said was unreasonable. "The master is right, the aunt of the slave bought the slave just for a mere five taels of silver. Yes, it is the same for people to die for money, and for birds to die for food. ”

The big tent where the doctors rested, the lights were not dim all night, and they were busy back and forth.

The number of doctors who came on this trip was more than 30 people, but there were many patients in the camp, and with their strength, it was not enough to take care of everyone.

People are divided into priorities, things are important, and the most important thing at the moment is the peace of the four highnesses. As for the others, they can take a break.

Jiao Changqing has a great responsibility, and he has to keep an eye on the body temperature and pulse of the fourth prince at any time, and he can't help Meng Xilan take care of her brother-in-law.

The life in the camp was hard, and Meng Xilan had been prepared in her heart, but on the first night, she still couldn't sleep, and all she thought about in her mind was a way to solve the difficulty.

Jiao Changqing's medical skills, as long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to think of a way, as for Concubine Ning's thoughtfulness in the palace, she is also relieved, with Concubine Ning's scheming, the queen can't help her for the time being.

Thinking about it, there are only two things she is worried about now. The first thing is that I am worried that there is not enough time, the illness of the fourth prince and the second brother, and I can't wait for Jiao Changqing's way to save them. The second thing to worry about is that the people in the palace are calculating, and it is estimated that there are too many people to count the lives of the four princes at the moment, in case they can't wait and want to attack directly, can the guards here resist it?

Meng Xilan stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, only to feel a real headache.

Zhulu came back after cooking her clothes, and saw that she hadn't turned off the lights to rest, so she said: "Master, why haven't you fallen asleep after a day of running around, is this bed not comfortable enough?" Do you want the slave to go and get another blanket? ”

Meng Xilan said lightly: "The future is uncertain, the auspicious is unpredictable, how can I sleep?" ”

"Don't worry, master......" She was only halfway through her words when she was suddenly interrupted by a burst of snoring, and when she turned her head, she saw Gao Fuli nesting on the haystack in the corner of the wall and snoring.

Zhulu was slightly stunned, and then realized why he was here.

"This stinky thing, you still dare to doze off, the slave is ......"

Meng Xilan stood up and said, "It's rare that he can still sleep, so let him sleep well." It was cold outside, and I asked him to come in to roast the fire. ”

The charcoal basin is limited, and if it can be used by people with high status, they will naturally not be useful.

The spring cold is expected to be steep, not to mention the epidemic, even if it is just a typhoid fever, it is enough to make people's lives worry.

Zhulu looked at Gao Fuli and said, "If you think that he is loyal to his master, I will spare him this time." ”

Since Meng Xilan got up, she was not ready to continue lying down, put on her cloak and said, "I'll go see the second brother, you can sleep first." ”

Zhulu hurriedly said: "The slave and maid accompany the master." ”

"No, Ming'er still has a lot of things to do. You can't afford to lose your energy......"

Meng Xilan just wanted to see if the second brother was sleeping peacefully and had no fever.

In Meng Xiran's tent, a brazier has been added, which is inevitably dry, and a basin of water has been placed in the tent to moisten the air.

Meng Xiran slept soundly with the help of medicine, Meng Xilan touched his forehead and found that his fever had subsided.

Meng Xilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked outside lightly.

Although she was happy, she could not forget to clean her hands.

Jiao Changqing happened to come out to breathe, and when he saw her scooping water and washing her hands alone, he walked over and said, "Your Highness, why is it alone, the palace people who are waiting?" ”

Meng Xilan looked up and saw that it was him, and replied, "They are all resting." ”

When Jiao Changqing heard this, he directly picked up the water scoop and helped her pour the water without saying a word.

The surroundings were quiet, leaving only the sound of running water.

Meng Xilan pondered for a moment before she spoke, "What should I do?" I owe another debt to adults. ”

Jiao Changqing avoided the important and took it lightly: "Your Highness doesn't need to be polite, it's just a gesture of effort." ”

"Wave after wave, I owe more and more to adults, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay off this debt in half a lifetime." As if she hadn't heard his words, Meng Xilan looked down at her hands, frowning, as if she was really distressed.

The most difficult thing in the world to repay is the debt of affection.

Jiao Changqing condensed at her and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness doesn't need to be so clear. At present, for Wechen, curing a stubborn disease is equivalent to self-help. Moreover, Wechen promised His Highness that he hadn't done it yet, so it was better to wait for Wechen to complete the agreement, and His Highness would bother thinking about it. ”
