Chapter 214: Infected with the Plague
Song Wu'er, who was bumpy day and night on the carriage, looked worse and worse, and couldn't even eat when he usually ate, but he was afraid that his body would not be able to support it, so Song Wu'er would force himself to eat a little every time, but after eating, he vomited out as soon as he got on the carriage and bumped a few times.
Lou Lichen saw that Song Wu'er's body was getting weaker and weaker, and asked distressedly, "Do you want to let them slow down?" We don't have to be in such a hurry. ”
Song Wu'er shook her head. No, they are in a hurry, the last assassination has already made her panic, they must solve the problem as soon as possible and return to the palace, and the old emperor estimates that the days are not long, and they must go back to control the situation as soon as possible. And so she persevered.
When they arrived in the south, the people who had been displaced by the flood saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming in person, and they changed their impression of the rumored bitter prince a little, and when they saw the woman standing next to him, and heard his subordinates call him the crown princess, many people were even more surprised.
The princess distributed the pastries she had brought to the children who had been hungry for several days, and the children rushed to the top, many of whom had never eaten such delicious pastries. After eating delicious food, they all liked this sister very much, and they all surrounded Song Wu'er to ask questions.
These children cried for several days, making the adults who fled together a headache, and now the children stopped crying, they immediately had a good impression of this princess, and even took the prince with them, and even many people complained that this place was far away from the capital, and the news that came over had changed!
Lou Lichen saw that Song Wu'er was playing well with the children, and he felt happy in his heart. After so many days, she had been semi-unconscious, and today she finally smiled.
Several people crowded over from the crowd, and when they saw Lou Lichen, they hurriedly saluted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to relieve the disaster in person, and His Majesty was flattered, but the flood was serious, and there was no house that could entertain His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Lou Lichen didn't expect the flood to be so serious, he ordered his officers and soldiers, "A few of you go and distribute the bedding and dry food we brought to the people, and women and children are given priority." The rest went to help build temporary shelters, built a shelter for the people, and when the water receded, everyone repaired their own houses. ”
A few words lifted the hearts of the people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was like a bodhisattva to them, and many people knelt down and kowtowed to Lou Lichen. Many women and children had red eyes, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only saved their lives, but even said that they and their children would give priority to the distribution of food.
Thinking of those sour children who said that "only women and villains are difficult to raise", they were unhappy but didn't dare to say anything. But what they didn't expect was that Song Wu'er, who came out to reprimand him, stood in front of them.
Lou Lichen waved his hand and made the people stand up, Song Wu'er looked at him with a smile, this gesture is really a bit of the majesty of the emperor, it is a pity that he failed to sit on the throne in his previous life.
"Some of the able-bodied men have come out to help, and everyone is trying to get sheltered from the wind and rain tonight."
After speaking, he walked to Song Wu'er's side and asked her how her body felt, Song Wu'er smiled and said: "After bumping on the carriage for several days, my bones are about to fall apart, but now I have come down and breathed a few breaths of fresh air, and I feel much better." ”
Of course, it was fresh air, everyone went to the mountains to avoid the flood, and the surrounding flowers and trees were accustomed to these people, but it was really a great pleasing thing for Song Wu'er, who had never been out.
"By the way, didn't we bring rice with us? After a while, I took some women to make porridge and distribute it to everyone. You just go about your business. ”
Lou Lichen hugged Song Wu'er's waist and whispered in her ear in front of everyone, "It's hard work." ”
Many people looked at it and snickered, Song Wu'er blushed, turned her head and ran away.
In order to let the people live in first, Song Wu'er and Lou Lichen slept in the carriage every night, but fortunately, now that the weather is no longer possible, just have a place to hide from the dew.
Several temporary grass huts were built, and many people were crammed into one room, although it was very simple, but the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess gave them hope.
The water is slowly receding, and some of the prime of life have gone back to repair the house, and many children will run back to pick up something that can be used.
But the plague usually brought by the flood still did not escape, one day a child came back and had a fever, his mother thought that the child had been frostbitten after two days of hard work, but now everyone is busy with the reconstruction, they are not good to bother, so the child can only endure.
Unexpectedly, many children and women around him fell ill, and even a few prime of life became weak, Lou Lichen noticed that he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he hurriedly asked the accompanying doctor to help diagnose and treat.
"It's the plague!"
One word stirred up a thousand waves, and many people who were not sick began to run out, and those who were sick began to cry.
Lou Lichen hurriedly asked Yuyan and Chun'er to take Song Wu'er back to the carriage, and did not allow her to come out, and led the carriage into the distance. He sent additional men to protect Song Wu'er.
Song Wu'er also wanted to go out to see the situation, but she felt that her body had been really weak recently, so in order to prevent herself from getting sick and causing him trouble, she had to stay honestly.
After arranging Song Wu'er, Lou Lichen asked everyone to calm down first, and the innate majesty made many people crying and screaming stopped, and the children also cried with each other, and their voices were not as noisy as before.
"Now everyone has the doctor to take the pulse, and if you are not sick, I will have you taken to the cave where you used to live, where the plague is waiting for treatment. We're all well prepared before we come, so don't worry. ”
The people honestly lined up to wait for the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and a few officials helped maintain order, but Lou Lichen didn't leave, and they didn't dare to leave. This time I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, which really subverted his rumored image.
The people were divided into two groups, and those who lived in the cave escaped by chance, and every day they asked the doctor to help them with their pulses, for fear of catching the plague. People who live in the thatched houses that have been built are worried about whether they will survive every day.
Everyone drank the medicinal herbs brought by Lou Lichen, and their bodies felt a little more comfortable. However, their supplies were limited, and they soon ran out of medicine. Lou Lichen asked people to go to the surrounding places to buy medicinal materials, but people always never returned, Lou Lichen could probably guess what the situation was, and eighty percent of them were the people of King Nan'an and King Yong'an.
But this is not a way, he found a way to let his subordinates bring the news out.
People infected with the plague are getting weaker and weaker after being cut off the medicine, knowing that one day, a child has no body temperature, everyone began to panic, Lou Lichen, who was covered with a face towel, ignored the cry of the child's mother, and asked people to take the child's body away, and no one else could be killed.
Because of the death of a child, the plague is getting worse and worse, and people die every day, but there is still no news from the people who sent out. very
Many people were in despair, and the people in the cave would also diagnose several people with suspected symptoms of the plague every day and be taken to thatched huts.
The plague spread even more severely.
At this time, the person sent out came back, he was already seriously injured, and he still insisted on running back to report to Lou Lichen.
"The emperor already knew about the plague here, and sent people to block this place, and didn't let us go out at all, we tried to break out, but we were intercepted and killed by many parties."
Hearing many things, Lou Lichen's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he knew that Lou Jingyuan was unwilling to give up. Now it seems that his father no longer cares about the life and death of him and Song Wu'er, he is preparing to help King Nan'an ascend to the throne!
But he is a person who refuses to bow to fate, after the death of his mother, he has been pretending to be crazy and stupid until today just to stop being bullied, and now he still has people he wants to protect, and they must survive.
Lou Lichen, who was in a hurry, didn't stand firmly, his body shook, and Ling Ying beside him hurriedly supported him. Lou Lichen shook his head and said that he was fine, but Ling Ying insisted on recruiting the accompanying imperial doctor.
The palace only asked him to bring out a imperial doctor, expecting that there might be an epidemic, so he invited a few doctors on the road, but fortunately, he thought it all over, and barely survived until now.
The imperial doctor helped Lou Lichen with a frown.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid you've also contracted the plague."
Lou Lichen calmly accepted this information, and he ordered: "Imperial Doctor, I will send you to the crown princess in a while, you don't have to do anything, just be responsible for checking her pulse every day, don't let her get sick too." ”
People are not sages, and the imperial doctor is also afraid of his own infection, and when he hears that he can leave here, he is grateful to the prince.
"Also, don't tell him I'm sick."
After the Imperial Doctor left, Lou Lichen felt that they couldn't wait for death here, he glanced at Ling Ying, "Go out and find Song Xuye to help." ”
With Song Xuye's character, I heard that my sister-in-law will definitely bring people to rush over when she suffers here, and the Song Mansion will definitely not sit still, it seems that the emperor has completely blocked the news here, I'm afraid I want them to die here.
Ling Ying was the secret guard with the highest martial arts skills around him, and now he had to let him give it a try. Ling Ying instructed the people around him to take good care of the prince, and then left. He did not brazenly ride away, but performed light feats and quietly left.
Song Wu'er, who sat in the carriage all day, felt a little strange, Lou Lichen would come over to accompany her at the beginning, and the two of them rested in the carriage, but then he came back less and less, and just to see her, and did not sleep here at night.
In the past few days, Lou Lichen has never appeared again, it stands to reason that he will not be busy like this, not to mention that he has achieved initial results a few days ago.
Song Wu'er couldn't stay any longer, and wanted to get off the carriage to take a look, even if it was just to look at it from a distance, otherwise she would always feel very flustered.
As soon as the door of the carriage was opened, several maids rushed up and asked around the carriage, "Does the crown princess feel unwell?" Do you want to call a doctor? ”
After looking at the imperial doctor standing on the side, she felt that there should be nothing wrong, when the imperial doctor first came, he said that a few doctors could solve the problem, so Lou Lichen asked him to come over to take care of Song Wu'er.
Seeing that the imperial doctor was not in a hurry, Song Wu'er still went back to the carriage and stayed honestly.
