As soon as Tang Yan and Song Hui left, Xie Juan couldn't wait to ask, "Say, what's going on?" ”

The servant woman Liu bowed slightly, very respectfully, and said, "Return to the princess." Last night, when the prince and the county lord talked, the county lord was pushed to the ground, and the county lord saw red at that time, and the child in the belly was gone. The maid didn't dare to slack off, so she decocted medicine for the county overnight, served her and used it, and then rested. When the day was just dawning, the maid entered the house, and the county lord's body was cold. She, she killed herself by swallowing gold. ”

Liu is a son of a family, with quick hands and feet, calm in case of trouble, and does not speak much. Usually very much Xie Wan's weight. When the Tie family moved to the Bingqing Pavilion, Xie Wante specially sent the Liu family to take care of it, and the Liu family lived up to her expectations, and the piles and piles were well maintained.

Over the years, Liu has only made two mistakes. One is that Tie Shi took advantage of her unpreparedness to write down An Yi's life experience, and the other is that An Yi committed suicide.

Xie Juan frowned and asked rhetorically, "Swallowing gold?" ”

"Yes. When the drug was used, the county lord was in a trance, and the maid thought that she had no children, and she was depressed. Who expected that she would die if she couldn't think of it? Liu's face was annoyed. She felt that it must be the ghost of the Tie clan that took An Yi away. But she didn't dare to say this to Xie Juan.

"Alright, you go down. The matter stopped, and said to people that An Yi had died of a sudden illness. Xie Juan believed that Liu would not talk nonsense, and casually explained a few words just as a reminder.

Liu answered yes, but had no intention of retiring.

Xie Juan asked her softly, "Anything else?" ”

Liu took out the flying money that was folded into a square and held it in his palm, "Princess, this is a reward from the prince yesterday, and the maid doesn't dare to swallow it privately." Tang Yan thought that money could make ghosts grind, but in fact, the Liu family dared to let Tang Yan into the house only because of the order of King Qin.

Xie Juan smiled, "What he gave you, you can keep." In two years, when your kid returns to Donggu, he will have to marry a wife, isn't this another expense? ”

Liu's frightened knees were so soft that he almost knelt down for Xie Xuan.

"Princess, this is twenty runs, I don't dare to ask for it!"

"You don't listen to me? Whatever I assign, you can do your best to do it, you have suffered a lot in Bingqing Pavilion over the years. Twenty dollars, you deserve it. Xie Xuan's eyes flowed, and he saw the lotus leaf gilt silver hairpin in Liu's hair, and praised: "You are good-looking, not tacky and generous." ”

After receiving Xie Juan's compliment, Liu's cheeks flushed, "This kid bought it, I heard that it is the most famous big silver building in Kyoto, called Shen Hongge." It was chosen by the little lady. ”

When Liu mentioned Yushu, the corners of his eyes smiled with fine lines, "The two disobedient children in the family, now they seem to be trained by the little lady, and they all know that it hurts." ”

Hearing this, the stuffy breath that was blocking Xie Xuan's chest finally went down.

"Yushu is kind-hearted, Yin Chuan and Liantong are blessed to follow her." Xie Juan was overjoyed, and said again: "When Anyi's funeral is over, you will go to Yushu's courtyard to support." When she comes back, you mother and son will be able to see each other every day. ”

For Liu, this is a great grace. It was so beautiful that the corners of her mouth reached the root of her ears.

It's so unpredictable. Kyoto had enough rice to eat, but it could not escape another wave of fate.

Yushu, who was far away in Southern Qi, had not yet learned of An Yi's death. She was busy with the rapidly spreading plague in Kyoto. On the one hand, she regretted letting the flower doctor girl return to Donggu, and on the other hand, she was secretly glad that she had made this decision. It may not be long before Kyoto will be allowed to enter and not leave, and the immune disease will spread to other places.

The displaced people who fled before filled their stomachs, but they did not escape the epidemic. People are dying every day in Kyoto. But those who died could not be buried in the earth, but could only be poured with fire oil and burned to ashes. The smell of burnt paste and the scorching air permeate the sky over Kyoto all day long.

Master Futu and the monks sit cross-legged in the main hall of the Mahavira and pray day and night for Kyoto. In front of Xiangyun Temple, many good men and women also gathered, worshipping and begging for the blessing of God.

Before leaving, the flower doctor left behind a prescription for dealing with the epidemic and many pills that had just been made. It is used to dispense to patients. Imperial Physician Xing personally led several doctors of medicine and the famous doctors in Kyoto to deal with this catastrophe that was even more serious than they had imagined.

Yushu changed into men's clothes again and walked between the various wards. There wasn't much she could do, limited to the simplest things like decocting and feeding medicine. Yushu is not afraid of running around and working hard, what she is most afraid of is that the patients who had hope of recovery yesterday will not be seen today, and they will not be seen in the future.

Death does not know when it will befall whom. Extreme uncertainty ruthlessly tempered Yushu's fragile nerves.

In the face of epidemics, there is no distinction between poor and poor.

Concubine Ning's life was not good and she contracted the epidemic. The disease spread in the palace, and the Empress Dowager Yang issued an edict to transfer Concubine Ning to the palace for recuperation. Ning Shizhong took it to his house, and it was needless to say that the doctor asked for medicine.

When the news reached the court, Yang Xiangye immediately proposed that Zhao Yao should immediately go out of Beijing to avoid the epidemic.

Zhao Yao's fingers tapped his knees and remained silent.

Yang Xiangye's proposal was all expected by the three Zhao Sheng brothers, and they discussed with Zhao Yao and decided that they could not leave Kyoto. Zhao Yao is concerned about the safety of a country, he is leaving, the people's hearts are scattered, and it is easy to cause a commotion. In case Higashiya takes this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Yang Xiangye arranged a beautiful woman in Luoyang Palace, just waiting for Zhao Yao to be lucky. Since Zhao Yao ascended the throne, he has been diligent in political affairs, and he doesn't even know where the palace is. Yang Xiangye pondered, just take this opportunity to let Zhao Yao go to Luoyang to live for a few days, maybe he can meet a beautiful woman and bring it back to Kyoto.

Yang Xiangye secretly poked and poked his wishful thinking.

Zhao Yao's mind has been determined that he will never change, he raised his face, glanced at the ministers, and finally fixed it on Yang Xiangye's face, and said loudly: "Since I ascended the throne, I have always followed the decree set by the first emperor. I didn't do anything great for the benefit of the country and the people. The people of Kyoto were tormented by drought and epidemics, all because of the loss of my virtue, although I and the family went to the southern suburbs to beg for rain, but they failed to move the heavens. I introspect myself, my heart is insincere as one thing, and people are not harmonious as the other. ”

The young son of heaven was dressed in a dragon robe, and his eyes were firm and calm. The little monk with red lips and white teeth who passed by Yushu seemed to be an old thing that could not be recalled.

Distant, vague, with the shallow sadness of time passing away, there is no return.

People don't get along? The ministers looked at each other, unable to figure out why Zhao Yao said this. Yang Xiangye had a flash of inspiration, but he couldn't grasp what he was thinking.

Zhao Yao paused for a moment and continued: "The heirs of the first emperor are weak, and I only have a younger brother of King Xiang. But King Xiang committed a crime and separated from me. Fortunately, I found Zhao Sheng and the others, they are not only loyal ministers and good generals, but also brothers who are connected to my blood and blood.

Since God has arranged the fate of me and Zhao Sheng, then, as the Son of Heaven, I should go to the southern suburbs with Zhao Sheng and the three to worship the sky. If the people are harmonious, they will be able to move the heavens and the earth. ”

What if not? Yang Xiangye asked secretly.

Fang Mutai has never been obedient, he is a straight intestine, Yang Xiangye asked in his heart, Fang Mutai dared to ask, "Your Majesty, if you can't, what should you do?" ”
