Cai Wei knew that Lu Ying cared about herself, and she felt a little relieved, so she said, "Let's go back, you're tired too, right?" ”

Lu Ying shook her head and said, "I'm nothing, but I ask you for a favor!" ”

"What's the busy?" Cai Wei asked hurriedly. Lu Ying's solemn look must not be a trivial matter.

"The Tatar mission is sick for the most part, I don't know if it's because of the water and soil, and the imperial doctor has seen it and there is no good way, the emperor called you into the palace."

As soon as Cai Wei heard that she was looking for a doctor again, she immediately became happy, and she took this opportunity to explore the emperor's tone again, so as to promote the rehabilitation of the Li family as soon as possible.

So she didn't bother to change her clothes, so she followed Lu Ying to turn around and leave.

At this time, it was a little late, the sun was setting in the west, the tired birds were returning to the forest, and the twilight was heavy.

Because of the urgency of the matter, Lu Ying did not arrange a carriage, and directly carried Cai Wei to the horse and rode with her.

The cold wind rushed in her face, Cai Wei shrank down, Lu Ying took her into her arms, wrapped Cai Wei tightly with the big coat on her body, and said, "The mission is very sick, the emperor urgently ordered me to pick you up, and I can't take the carriage anymore." ”

"It's okay, let's go." Cai Wei nestled in his arms, and it warmed up a lot.

Take this opportunity to add some chips to the Li family's rehabilitation.

Along the way, they soon arrived at the Huiguo Pavilion, which was the residence of the Ming Dynasty to receive foreign missions.

Lu Ying dismounted at the door of the Huiguo Pavilion and hugged Cai Wei down again.

Cai Wei stood at the door, stomped her feet, rubbed her face that was red from the cold, and followed Lu Ying to the gate of the Huiguo Pavilion.

At this time, it was already nightfall, and the lanterns had been lit under the eaves of the gate of the Huiguo Pavilion, and under the soft light, a few people were pacing back and forth, rubbing their hands constantly, like ants on a hot pot.

They heard the movement, looked at it, and saw Lu Ying wearing a black coat and striding over. Behind him was a slender man, and they pounced on him with joy.

"Lord Lu, are you here? The emperor has urged him several times, has the lady arrived? One of the people asked anxiously.

Lu Ying turned her head to look at Cai Wei and nodded, "Here, let's go in." ”

The eunuch was wearing a three-grade suit, and his voice was soft with a hint of softness, which sounded gloomy but not annoying, Cai Wei approached and saw that this person was Lin Qianzhong.

At this time, he leaned over slightly, and greeted him with a smile on his face, which made her hard to believe that it was this person who fell in love with her mother Li back then, which led to the tragedy later.

Speaking of which, she didn't have any feelings for this man, and although he was the trigger that indirectly led to her mother's suicide, she couldn't hate him.

Seeing each other again at this time, she had mixed feelings in her heart for a while.

Lin Qianzhong saw Cai Wei, his eyes suddenly emitted a trace of imperceptible light, but in front of Lu Ying, he quickly covered it again.

At this time, Cai Wei didn't bother to look at Lin Qianzhong a few times, but just followed them into the gate and walked along a stone road.

The area of this hall is not small, the courtyard with five entrances and five exits, blue bricks and tiles, heavy eaves and arches, is very exquisite.

The Tatar mission lived in several inter-courtyards to the west, the first two were occupied by Tatar escorted soldiers, and the third was occupied by Tatar officials. It is said that the fourth is where His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Tatar lives, and the fifth is Princess Tosto, the youngest daughter of the King of Tatar.

This group of people went south from the beginning of autumn, and arrived in the capital until the end of the year, but they fell ill as soon as they entered the capital.

Now up to the prince and princess, down to the ordinary soldiers, a large number of people are bedridden, the cause is very strange, the disease is menacing, so that the Tatar mission is sluggish, and the imperial doctors of the Ming Dynasty are confused.

The emperor was so anxious that he couldn't sit comfortably, and he had already rushed over from the palace, so he sat outside the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Tatar, waiting for Lu Ying to bring Cai Wei over.

Originally, Cai Wei asked him to make a request to save Princess Guling, although he had no choice but to agree at the time, but he didn't expect to rehabilitate the Li family immediately, thinking about drying it first.

For Cai Wei, he was already disgusted in his heart, and he wanted to see her again, but who expected to be slapped in the face so soon, and he had to beg her head.

At this time, Cai Wei and Lu Ying were led by Lin Quanzhong to the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Tatar and met the emperor.

Lu Ying pulled Cai Wei and was about to kneel down to salute the emperor, but was stopped by the impatient emperor, "Hurry up, Mrs. Lu will take a look at His Royal Highness the Third Prince first." ”

It was not for nothing that he was so worried, after all, the Tatars had sent a very sincere mission this time to discuss the affairs of trade on the border, which would be beneficial to both countries, and would allow the people of the border to live in peace.

Who knew that such a thing happened after the mission drifted to Beijing. If this is detected by the enemy country and used to take advantage of it, the Tatars will misunderstand that it was caused by the Ming poisoning the mission, and it will be troublesome.

Therefore, after changing two more rounds of imperial doctors, the emperor finally made up his mind to let Lu Ying go home and bring Caiwei.

Although he was afraid that Cai Wei would make any excessive demands, but now that it was imminent, he couldn't care about it.

There were more than 200 people in the mission, and more than 100 soldiers accompanied it. There were more than a dozen high-ranking officials from Tatar, and the leader was His Royal Highness the Third Prince, who is said to be a brave young man, a man of all-round talent, and was highly valued by the King of Tatar. Although the Tatar king has already set up a crown prince, the prestige of His Royal Highness the Third Prince is close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if this prince is cured, it will be an opportunity for Yu Daming to win over.

That princess Tosto is the youngest daughter of the Tatar king, an old child, eager to hold it in the palm of her hand, this time, she came with her, but also wanted to see the customs of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the mission trekked through mountains and rivers along the way, walked for two months, and entered the capital, and before they could take a good look at the scenery of Kyoto in the Ming Dynasty, they fell ill for most of them.

Other people are okay to say, if the third prince and the little princess of Tatar have three long and two short, it is not easy for the Tatar king to explain. It's not a big war. Therefore, when the emperor heard this letter, he stayed here all day and couldn't even eat.

The crown prince Zhao Zhen was originally in charge of the reception, and now that the emperor is here, he naturally can't leave first.

When Zhao Yu, the king of Chengcheng, heard about it, he also hurried over and accompanied the emperor to guard it.

The emperor waited for a long time, and saw that the imperial doctors had drawn up several prescriptions that had no effect, so he had no choice but to urge Lu Ying to go back and take Cai Wei over, after all, Cai Wei still has two hands to treat these incurable diseases.

Although it was said that when he rescued Princess Guling before, he had embarrassed the emperor, and the emperor did not hold a grudge in his heart, it was impossible, but at this critical juncture, he couldn't care so much, even if Cai Wei made any excessive requests, he was ready to meet her attitude.

He rubbed his hands together and kept walking around the room, like a grinder, when he saw Lu Ying coming in with Cai Wei, it was like seeing a savior, and he actually stepped forward to greet him two steps in person.

Cai Wei didn't even ask for anything, just got up and followed Lin Qianzhong into the back room.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince, living in a warm pavilion, was lying on the hot window-facing kang at this time, covered with two splendid quilts.

Cai Wei had just crossed the threshold, and she was greeted by a heat wave, as if it was a spring day.

When the two Tatar maids saw a young woman entering, they couldn't help but look at each other, and stepped forward to stop in front of the kang.

Cai Wei was puzzled, "What is this going to do?" Don't you want to see a doctor? ”

Their masters were unconscious, and the two maids still had the strength to stop her.

Lin Qianzhong listened to the question, turned around with concern, and explained with a smile, "Presumably they think that it is rare for women to practice medicine, for fear that you will be unfavorable to their master." ”

Cai Wei plucked out her ears and sneered, "I'm a weak woman, I can't hold a chicken in my hands, I can't carry it on my shoulders, how can it be unfavorable to their master?" ”

However, in order to treat the third prince of Tatar, Lin Qianzhong also let go, and immediately shouted in a deep voice to the two maids, "This is the doctor who was invited, what are you two still doing in a daze, why don't you clean up the house quickly?" ”

These two maids had no identity, and they were reprimanded by a big eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't dare to say anything. But they didn't know where to intervene for a while, and stood there naked.

Lin Qianzhong ignored the two maids, and stepped forward to pull one of them away.

Cai Wei hurriedly stepped forward and instructed the maid to open the window.

But the emperor couldn't stand it, this big night, the sky was cold again, wouldn't opening the window freeze the third prince of Tatar?

He glared at Cai Wei dissatisfied, and snorted, "The third prince has already fainted, you will open the window now, what if he has a cold again?" ”

When the words fell, Cai Wei quickly replied, "Since the emperor doesn't agree, then the courtiers will go home, can you ask for another master?" ”

The emperor was choked with these words, and he only said two words for a long time, "you, you".

Lin Qianzhong looked at it on the side, and secretly said that this Mrs. Lu is really bold, her temperament is straightforward enough, and she is really carved out of the same mold as the Li family he knew in his early years.

His eyes grew more and more frenzied as he looked at Cai Wei.

Cai Wei also hates the emperor's snake, snake and scorpion, obviously asked her to treat the disease, but she still picks and chooses, how can she have the kung fu to play literal articles with him?

A sentence choked him, but it didn't save trouble.

Seeing that the emperor had finally stopped, Cai Wei asked the two maids to open the window again, and now they happily complied. Anyway, His Royal Highness the Third Prince died outside, and they couldn't go back to Tartary.

After that, Cai Wei peeled off the two quilts on the third prince's body, the patient still had a high fever, and he dared to cover so much, isn't this waiting to be covered to death?

After doing this, Cai Wei sat on the edge of the kang, carefully checked the pulse, asked the doctor, and checked whether there were any injuries on her body.

Lu Ying watched Cai Wei lift the third prince's quilt from the side, and saw her feet from her head, feeling very uncomfortable. Why should his wife look at other men's bodies?

It's just that the emperor is here, and he won't have much to say at this time.

After checking the pulse, Cai Wei got up and went to the courtyard, which was the bedroom of the Tatar princess Tosto.

Similarly, Princess Tosto's symptoms are the same as those of the third prince.

Then she looked at the symptoms of several other officials, and even the symptoms of the soldiers in front of her. She has always been fair and impartial in front of patients.

These people were all in a high fever, unconscious, weak, and their faces were blue, and when they looked again, their legs were wrapped in white gauze, and some yellowish pus and ulcerated skin could be faintly seen inside.

Most of the people in these missions have this disease, starting with the rotten legs and then spreading to the legs. People have always had a fever, no wonder these people, as soon as they arrived in the capital, they could no longer hold on and fell down, it is estimated that these people already have this disease on the way, but they just held on with a breath.

Seeing that there were more than a dozen people, Cai Wei knew it in her heart. Turning around and entering the side hall next to him, the emperor was standing there rubbing his hands, and when he saw Cai Wei sweating profusely, he hurriedly asked, "What kind of illness are they?" But infected with the epidemic? ”

In ancient times, the level of medical care was low, and they were most afraid of plague, and once they were contaminated, there was almost no hope of survival. Therefore, the emperor was very afraid.

Cai Wei groaned and didn't say anything.

The emperor couldn't wait to continue, "The imperial doctors all estimate that it is an epidemic, and if it is true, I am afraid that the people of this mission will ......." ”

He swallowed his words, but everyone knew that if this was really an epidemic, the mission of about 200 people might not be able to go back. If the people of these missions infect other people, then the entire capital will become popular, and it will be really terrifying, and even their people in this national pavilion will not be spared.

But Cai Wei looked at the condition of those people, coupled with the diagnosis of the pulse, thought about it in her heart, and felt that it was not like it.

She shook her head slowly and said, "Although these people are very sick, they are not like the epidemic, otherwise, if they lie here for a day, then these people who serve and we will probably be infected." ”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face turned white, "Is it going to take two days to feel it?" ”

Seeing that he was so scared, Cai Wei couldn't help but laugh, and said, "In this cold winter, the plague is not easy to spread, and the people of the mission have been sick for so long, and no one has died, which also proves that this is not a plague." ”

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What kind of disease is this?" ”

"It's like beriberi!" Cai Wei made a loud noise.

The emperor, Lin Qianzhong and Lu Yingju all looked funny, "Will athlete's foot make people unconscious?" ”

Obviously, they don't recognize beriberi and beriberi.

Ordinary people will get athlete's foot, there is no danger to life, at most it is a little itchy and unbearable. Just take some medicine to recuperate.

However, beriberi can kill people, it is caused by a lack of vitamins, and it usually occurs in sailors who go to the sea, or people who do not eat vegetables and fruits for a long time.

The Tatar mission traveled a long way, all the way south, and it was rare to see fresh fruits and vegetables in winter, and their nomadic people mainly ate meat, so they were prone to this disease.
