Chapter 92: Nine Deaths and One Life (3)
The night is cold, the candles in the camp are also lit, and in the camp tent and grass hut, there are burning red charcoal pots and fires everywhere to drive away the spring cold for everyone.
The carriage in the palace originally only came once a day, but because Meng Xilan wrote a letter, explaining the details and listing the materials, now the carriage has to come every morning and evening, full of charcoal, full of food, or full of medicinal supplements.
Whenever the bell rang for carriages and horses, Meng Xilan's heart always tightened slightly, for fear that something bad would come from the palace. Fortunately, the eunuch with the words always had only good things in his mouth, but nothing bad. The emperor is very concerned about Zhou Youlin's condition, and he is also very concerned about Concubine Ning.
As long as Concubine Ning does not fall out of favor, Zhou Youlin will have a chance to turn over.
The eunuch in charge of the carriage was a close relative of the chief steward Chang Hai, named Sun Fuwei, known as "Fu Gonggong". "Today, the Queen Mother passed down an edict saying that Her Royal Highness the princess should take care of her body and not overwork. Exhaust yourself. Princess, the Queen Mother can always be thinking about you in the palace. ”
Meng Xilan lowered her head: "The Queen Mother's holy grace, after the tired father-in-law returns to the palace, kowtow to the Queen Mother on my behalf." ”
Father-in-law Fu was full of smiles, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "The princess is polite, and the slave must obey the princess's orders." ”
The people in the palace were worried about Zhou Youlin and also about her, but Meng Xilan didn't have any good news for Father-in-law Fu to take back for the time being......
"Your Royal Highness Princess, can the body of the Fourth Highness recover? It is not good for the slaves to meet in person, and I hope that the princess will tell the truth, so that the slaves can return to the former emperor to go on an errand. ”
He didn't dare to get close to the big tent, for fear of being infected and losing his life.
Meng Xilan said quietly: "The Fourth Highness is all right, there is no major problem for the time being. ”
When Gonggong Fu heard this, he only glanced at her with his own eyes: "Your Highness, if you say this, wouldn't you make the slave embarrassed......
The corners of Meng Xilan's lips curved a faint arc: "Father-in-law Fu, I am not a doctor, so naturally I can't say it too thoroughly, and my father-in-law is not a person who is well-versed in medical science, so it is better to be simple and clear than to describe it cumbersomely." What a terrible disease the epidemic is, everyone knows it in their hearts! Instead of making the masters in the palace panic all day long, it is better to let the masters have a moment of peace first. As the saying goes, good news is not reported bad, and everything has a turnaround. My father-in-law is also half an old man in the palace, and he won't fail to understand the truth. ”
Father-in-law Fu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but he heard her continue: "Father-in-law Fu, now His Royal Highness is deeply acute, and every day is difficult, if Father-in-law has a heart, he will help him take care of everything, Zuo is just a few words, how difficult can it be?" ”
Father-in-law Fu is also a smart person, so he hurriedly lowered his head: "What the princess said is very true, the slave understands, and the slave will return to the palace to resume his life!" ”
He didn't dare to stay longer, not to mention that the Meng Xilan in front of him was a master who was not easy to get along with.
Seeing off Gonggong Fu, Meng Xilan sighed lightly.
What is in front of me is sent out, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
Zhou Youlin's body has not improved, once he has a high fever, it will be a day and a night, if it weren't for Jiao Changqing staying with him day and night, giving him an injection to continue his life, I am afraid that he would have been in danger of his life.
The second brother Meng Xiran is the same, even if the high fever does not go away, he is about to burn half his life!
A few of the handymen who came from selling their bodies also got sick, most of them because of carelessness, and as a result, they became more and more sick after a few days!
Jiao Changqing meditated hard, sleepless day and night, and only wanted to find a cure. The more anxious he was, the more worried Meng Xilan became.
At dinner, Meng Xilan cooked a pot of ginseng chicken soup with her own hands, and the plain white chicken soup was hot, which was the best way to warm up.
She asked Zhulu to fill a bowl and send it to Jiao Changqing, who knows, she shook her head and came back and said, "The adults didn't move." ”
Meng Xilan saw that Zhulu couldn't persuade him, so she got up and said, "I'll take a look." ”
Meng Xilan hurriedly walked and came to the door, only to see Jiao Changqing still studying medicinal materials under the lamp, his eyes were red.
"My lord......" hesitated for a moment, but Meng Xilan still disturbed him with a voice.
Jiao Changqing was stunned and still stood in place.
Meng Xilan walked over gently, saw the chicken soup on the table without moving, and continued: "Jiao Changqing obeys orders!" ”
He always reacted, turned his head to look at Meng Xilan, frowning.
"This bowl of chicken soup was given to you by this princess, so I order your lord to drink it up without a drop left!"
Jiao Changqing was upset, and couldn't help frowning: "Your Highness, what does this mean?" ”
Meng Xilan calmed down: "If the adults continue to stay up like this, I'm afraid that the next person who will fall ill will be the adult." ”
Jiao Changqing was slightly stunned, "Weichen is fine, Your Highness doesn't need to worry." ”
"If there is nothing to do, how can you use one sentence to set the result. It is the blessing of the four highnesses for the hard work of the adults, but if the adults do not take care of themselves first, how can they take care of the four highnesses. ”
Jiao Changqing knew that she was reasonable, but he was too anxious. If you don't find a cure in time, the lives of the Four Highnesses really can't be saved......
He sighed, leaned back in the chair, and pressed his eyebrows again: "Wechen knows, Wechen is just anxious!" ”
Meng Xilan stared at him, and only handed the soup bowl forward: "Don't force yourself too much, adults. The epidemic is ferocious, and it has always been a serious disease that plagues the world! Once it is touched, it will definitely die for a lifetime, I know it in my heart, and I should also know it in my heart. ”
Jiao Changqing's eyes were as deep as the sea: "Your Highness's mind is transparent, it's just that Weichen is doing something this time, and he can only succeed, not fail." ”
Meng Xilan said slowly: "At the beginning, I looked at important people, but I looked at the character and medical skills of important people, but I never regarded adults as the Buddha of the Daxiong Treasure Palace...... In the final analysis, adults are only mortal bodies, and they can only do their best, not the will of heaven! These days, I have seen with my own eyes how hard and dedicated adults are, so now, I only have expectations for adults, not imposing them, and I don't want to see adults in physical condition! ”
Her whispered words made Jiao Changqing's tired heart feel soft and relieved. It's impossible to say that you don't move, you just can't show too much.
Jiao Changqing's eyes were half-drooping, covering the uncertain feelings inside, only looking at the soup bowl on the table, and said: "Your Highness's kindness, the minister doesn't dare not appreciate it." ”
Meng Xilan smiled slightly when she heard this: "The temperature of this will be just right." ”
Jiao Changqing picked up the bowl and tasted it carefully: "It tastes good." ”
"Just good...... It's rare that I've been struggling for more than an hour. Meng Xilan deliberately raised her voice and said, "Since I don't know what to do, then I will punish the adults for sleeping for two hours after drinking the chicken soup, which will be counted as a small punishment." ”
The look flashed in Jiao Changqing's eyes again, and he finally pursed his lips and smiled: "The minister admits punishment!" ”
The weather was beautiful, and the sun was shining for the next two days.
Meng Xilan looked at the blue sky and warm sun above her head, and wondered if she should let her father and second brother come out to bask in the sun.
Zhu Qing helped Meng Zhenglu to walk around, as for Meng Xiran, he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed, so he could only rely on manpower to carry him to the chair and sit.
Meng Zhenglu has always avoided Meng Xilan, but every day he has to ask Zhuqing, her food, clothing, and daily life, and he can feel at ease when he learns that his daughter is fine.
The sun shone on his body, making Meng Xiran's complexion look a lot better, and it was rare to see a little ruddy.
His lips twitched slightly, and he asked in a half-loud voice, "How is the Fourth Highness?" ”
Meng Xilan said lightly: "Your Royal Highness is fine, you are still taking a nap now." ”
In fact, Zhou Youlin is still having a fever, from the morning until now.
Meng Xiran smiled with relief: "It's okay if he's fine......"
Meng Xilan was silent, only accompanied her father and brother, and after sitting for a while, Fang returned to the busy tent.
Jiao Changqing's forehead was already sweating, and Zhou Youlin's body had begun to tremble.
The boiled decoction was sent over bowl by bowl for later use.
Jiao Changqing put the cut ginseng slices into Zhou Youlin's mouth and let him hold it, but what happened, Zhou Youlin burned so delirious that he either spit it out or couldn't swallow what he ate in his mouth.
Those imperial doctors were jealous of Zhou Youlin, and they didn't dare to rashly touch it, so they stood in place for a while, frowning.
Meng Xilan saw that there were many people, so she said: "The space in the tent is limited, don't let so many people pestle here, it will annoy people for no reason." With Master Jiao here, the other adults should do their part. ”
Although Zhou Youlin is the most important, at this time, he is not the only patient.
The crowd retreated.
Meng Xilan immediately rolled up her sleeves and came to the bedside, "My lord, how is the situation?" ”
"It's not good, the four princes are delirious, and they don't even have the strength to save their lives with ginseng tablets." Jiao Changqing shook his head hurriedly, and hurriedly used the needle to calm his heart.
Delirious...... Meng Xilan looked at Zhou Youlin, whose eyes were slightly open, as if he was awake, looking at him fixedly, and after a thousand thoughts, only one sentence rose and fell in his ears: "Zhou Youlin, you can't die!" ”
When she came to her senses, she had already grabbed Zhou Youlin's neckline, pulled him up, shook his weak body violently with both hands, and shouted in his ear: "Zhou Youlin, you can't die, you can't die!" ”
Jiao Changqing was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stopped him: "You can't ...... it"
Meng Xilan was willing to listen to him, and only continued to shout in his ear: "Zhou Youlin, you can't die. You are a prince, you are a prince, what about your ambition? What about your ambitions? You just threw in the towel? Just waiting to die? Coward! Zhou Youlin, you are a coward! ”
Meng Xilan talked nonsense regardless of it, so that Jiao Changqing had to pull her away in person, stretched out her long arms, and asked angrily, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”
She's not such a breathless person, so why do she have to go crazy here? Is it scared, frightened?
Meng Xilan gasped again and again, staring at Zhou Youlin on the bed, his life has not yet arrived, he shouldn't die! I don't know how long it lasted like this, and finally heard Zhou Youlin's weak and low voice in my ears: "Who ...... Who is bold ......?"
