Chapter 169: The Plague
The person next to him probably saw Lu Yue's anxiety and said, "Hey, do you have relatives in Huaibei?" ”
"There is a plague in this Huaibei City."
"yes, don't you see that the four gates are closed?"
"Yes, I've sent several urgent reports in a row this day."
Lu Yue slid his hand suddenly, loosening the man's clothes, there was a plague, Qin Mufeng had never heard from him, could it be....
A scene in the valley suddenly flashed in her mind, under a round of silver moonlight, Qin Mufeng, who was dressed in white, walked ahead with a cold face.
"No, go back first." Lu Yue said, she immediately ordered Li Hu to drive the carriage back to the Qin Palace.
Before she entered Cuimei Courtyard, she heard Old Madam Qin's grief and Xuan'er's cry from a distance. She walked in a few steps, and sure enough, she was late.
Old Madam Qin was half-leaning on the edge of the bed, Qin Zixuan threw herself into her arms and cried, and Zhao Qingliu crutches, pinching her handkerchief and crying.
The crying of the whole room made Lu Yue's whole head big, "Don't cry." ”
As soon as Lu Yue spoke, the whole room instantly fell silent.
"Mei'er, send your second lady back." Lu Yue stared at the little girl beside Zhao Qingliu and said.
"No, I'm not leaving~" Zhao Qingliu said.
Lu Yue stared at Zhao Qingliu, her eyes were indifferent that Zhao Qingliu had never seen before, and instantly felt countless goosebumps popping up, Old Madam Qin's gaze stayed on Lu Yue's face for a moment, and then turned to Zhao Qingliu and said, "Qing'er, you go back first." ”
She could see that this Lu Yue had something to say.
Zhao Qingliu had to listen to Old Madam Qin's words, so he had to retreat reluctantly.
When Zhao Qingliu left, the other idlers in the house retreated.
Lu Yue looked at the slightly dry tears on Old Madam Qin's face, her gradually emaciated body, and her face didn't look particularly good, since there was no news about Qin Mufeng, Old Madam Qin was lingering on the sickbed, and her health was not getting better.
Speaking of which, Old Madam Qin is also a poor person, she was widowed at a young age, and it is difficult to say that she is blessed, but this only son is now in danger.
Lu Yue reached out and touched Xuan'er's little head, he was tearful, looking really pitiful. Xuan'er is still so young, if something happens to this Qin Mufeng, Xuan'er will become an orphan without a mother and a father.
Qin Mufeng hasn't heard from him for so long, he must have had an accident.
She Lu Yue is not ungrateful, Qin Mufeng was able to save herself regardless of hardships and dangers, and now she can also save Qin Mufeng.
Lu Yue looked up at everyone and said with great firmness: "I'm going to Huaibei City." ”
As soon as these words came out, Old Madam Qin and Ji Lian were both stunned, and after a while, "No~" Old Madam Qin opened her mouth to refuse.
"Why? Mother, don't you want to know the news of the prince? Lu Yue said.
"Nonsense, how is that a place for a woman?" Old Madam Qin said.
"I'll convince Doctor Zhu to come with me." Lu Yue said, this plague was an extremely terrible thing in ancient times, maybe a city would be gone.
"Don't mess around, the imperial court will send you...."Before Old Madam Qin finished speaking, Lu Yue immediately interrupted, "Mother, I don't know when the imperial court will wait, if there is anything, I may not be able to hurry." ”
Old lady Qin's heart was shocked at the moment, there was an incident in the previous dynasty, there was a flood in that place, and then there was a plague, first a village in a month, and then it became a city, in order to prosper the country, the city gate had to be closed for a whole month, until there was no groaning in it, the officers and soldiers opened the city gate, poor that, it is said that the wall was full of blood-red scratches.
Countless people have become dry bones under the city walls, which is even more terrible than hell on earth.
As soon as Old Madam Qin thought of this, and then thought of Feng'er, who had no news about herself, a burst of fishy sweetness instantly surged into her heart, and when Ji Lian's mother saw Old Madam Qin's face, she was so frightened that she immediately opened her mouth to call the doctor.
Lu Yue hurriedly stepped forward to reassure: "Mother, don't worry, the prince will definitely return safely." ”
Old Madam Qin half-closed her eyelids before moving, and was helped back to the bed by Ji Lian.
Lu Yue bent down and stretched out her hand to hug Qin Zixuan, looked at the dark eyes and said, "Xuan'er, your father will definitely come back safely." ”
At this time, Qin Zixuan was like a child who had grown up, he took Lu Yue's hand and shook it a few times, "Auntie, Xuan'er knows." ”
Lu Yue listened to the hoarse little voice, touched Xuan'er's little face with great distress, and told the maid to feed the little prince a little rock sugar pear juice.
She just walked out, and the first thing she did when she went out, Lu Yue sent Li Hu back to Lu Mansion to find Master Lu and find a way to make up food.
The second thing is that she went to the Fifth Prince, Gu Changheng, and waited for a long time in the Fifth Prince's mansion, and then Gu Changheng walked back with a tired face.
He heard that Princess Qin was waiting, and he didn't even have time to change into a court dress, so he rushed over.
As soon as the two met, Lu Yue didn't care about nonsense, and said directly: "Did the emergency report mention Qin Mufeng?" ”
Gu Changheng nodded, reached out and picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, "How is he now?" Lu Yue's eyes were full of anxiety.
"He's fine." Gu Changheng pondered for a moment and said, his brows furrowed, as soon as he thought of the urgent report, he couldn't help but worry.
Lu Yue's eyes tightened, and seeing Gu Changheng's sorrow between his eyebrows, he suddenly became a little anxious, and grabbed Gu Changheng's sleeve, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"He's safe now, but the situation in Huaibei City is very dangerous." Gu Changheng said.
"A plague?" Lu Yue said tentatively.
"How do you know?" A trace of doubt flashed in Gu Changheng's eyes, not long after this urgent report entered the city, how could the news spread so quickly?
"It's been spread all over the street." Lu Yuexing's eyes rolled slightly.
Gu Changheng was silent for a moment and did not speak.
Lu Yue was a little anxious, this is a plague, people may die at any time, Qin Mufeng will be in danger if he does this in that place again. She pulled Gu Changheng and was about to speak, but she used too much force, and Gu Changheng almost fell down.
Gu Changheng was a master after all, and when he reacted, he immediately stood still, as soon as he grabbed Lu Yue's hand, he said with a surprised expression: "Do you know martial arts?" ”
Lu Yue didn't want to talk nonsense with Gu Changheng at all now, "Let go of me~" With a flick of the situation, Gu Changheng let go of Lu Yue's arm.
He was a little suspicious in the paddock before, this Lu Yue alone could still drag so many assassins, escaped, and was saved by him.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Lu Yue moved her arm, stared at Gu Changheng and said, "You arranged for me to go to Huaibei City." ”
"What did you say?"
Gu Changheng was shocked for a moment and glanced at Lu Yue, "No, how can a woman go anywhere in such a dangerous place?" ”
Lu Yue's eyes were resolute, and she said solemnly to Gu Changheng: "I have to go, no matter what, I have to bring Qin Mufeng back." ”
The expression on Gu Changheng's face was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed with emotion, and he said after a long time: "I didn't expect you to be so affectionate to Mu Feng, but if something happens to you like this, how can you let me explain to Mu Feng?" ”
I didn't expect the relationship between these two to be so good, it's really enviable.
Lu Yue knew that Gu Changheng must have misunderstood something, but she didn't explain the words to her lips, a strange feeling flashed in her heart, and she faintly felt that she was not wrong about what she said just now.
She said confidently: "With my intelligence, maybe I can help Qin Mufeng, and besides, I will bring Divine Doctor Zhu with me, what are you afraid of?" ”
Isn't that old man greedy for money? When the time came, she smashed a bag of gold, and the old man would have agreed.
Gu Changheng was choked for a while, he couldn't leave this Tianfu City, he knew in his heart that his father would not send him to take risks at all, and his own people couldn't move, because there was also a third prince staring at him fiercely, and he would come up and bite him if he wasn't careful.
What's more, this time my father was very angry, this good 200,000 loads of grain didn't last even two months, and it was gone.
Now that the plague is happening, the courtiers have been arguing for a day, and they haven't made it clear, hey, Mu Feng is now like being trapped in a desperate situation, and he can't reach out to rescue him, what kind of friend is he like this?
Besides, Qin Mufeng was implicated because of himself, and he was framed by the third prince before he went to Huaibei City.
What's more, Lu Yue just now, although he has no internal strength, but his momentum is extraordinarily sufficient, there should be no problem in self-protection at a critical moment, and when the time comes, he will send a few more people to protect, and there will be no problem.
Gu Changheng pondered for a moment, "Okay, but you have to promise me a few things." He could see from that paddock that this Princess Qin was not simple, witty and brave, maybe she would go, and it would be a great help to Mu Feng.
When Lu Yue heard this, her heart suddenly blossomed, "Okay, you say." ”
"First of all, I must dress up as a man and follow the disaster relief team, and then I will enter the palace and recommend Lord Chen to my father, this Lord Chen is not from the third prince, nor is it mine, so you must be careful along the way."
"Second, I will send a few people with strong martial arts skills to insert in the convoy to protect you, and your safety is the top priority." Gu Changheng pointed his finger on the edge of the table and admonished.
"Okay, but I'll take my two guards." Lu Yue thought about how to bring the two Li Hu brothers with them, so that they could take care of them along the way.
"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange this matter." Gu Changheng said.
As soon as he put on his official hat, the whole person walked out, "Hey, where are you going?" Lu Yue said.
"I'll go to the palace, you go back first and wait for news." After Gu Changheng said this, he hurried away.
Lu Yue secretly said in her heart, fortunately, she came to this trip, not only did she hear the news that Qin Mufeng was alive, but she was also able to go to Huaibei City smoothly, which was really good.
She wanted to quickly tell Old Madam Qin and Xuan'er the good news.
----
In the Qin Palace, the old lady of Qin was drinking ginseng soup, and when she heard the good news of Lu Yue, she was stunned for a while, she grabbed Lu Yue and said, "What did you say?" ”
Lu Yue smiled and reassured: "You heard it right, Lord Wang, he's fine." I just went to the Five Princes' Mansion, and he told me. ”
Old Madam Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the pillow, and then took Lu Yue's hand and said, "Okay, very good~"
