As the folk proverb goes, "only half of the baby is born, and the flowers are finished", and the word "pox" will not only make the common people feel like they are facing a great enemy, even if the noble family, and even the heirs of the royal family, there is no shortage of lives that die of the disease, and its threat and fear are no less than diseases such as "plague", "cholera", "leprosy" and so on.

Although in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, there was already a "pox method" for young children to immunize, there may be a small number of people who successfully cause chronic acne caused by pox, and the success rate is very low, and there are those civilians who cannot afford to seek medical treatment, so they dare not blindly immunize according to the "rumors", so this method is only a rich family or try.

For example, all the Langjun and Ladies of the Weiguo Mansion have tried the "pox clothing method" vaccination, but the only ones who succeeded were Su Xun and Yijing, two brothers and sisters.

The eldest princess once sighed - how can Jiang Yue and Yijing be good? These two children originally had some fate, the age difference was only half a year, and they were vaccinated with "pox clothes" at the same time.

It is said that the more "pox" appears with age, the more dangerous it is to life.

When she heard that Huang's Wuniang was suffering from acne, Yijing's heart was fiercely pinched.

The two princesses born by Emperor Taizong both died of pox at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and the concubines who took care of the princess also died of this disease—this was still in the well-guarded court, which caused panic in the hearts of the people for a while, which shows the danger of this disease.

But where there are children suffering from "pox", they must be moved to the outskirts of the city for isolation, and they must not conceal their illness, so the matter of Houfu Wuniang's illness cannot be concealed, but because she is the appointed princess and has a valuable status, she does not need to be sent to the "epidemic place", but she also has to move out of the inner city and send it to Houfu Beiyuan for treatment.

Many people sighed when they heard the words - the wandering monk really said that the Huang family's five mothers were really not expensive, seeing that the wedding date was approaching, they closed their doors but suffered a catastrophe.

When the beautiful scenery heard the bad news, she intuitively felt that this matter was by no means so simple - the fifth cousin had never had such a bad disease in her previous life, why did her marriage change in this life, but she suffered such a tragedy.

She couldn't sit idly by, because it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't changed her fate.

When I went to Yuanying Hall, I lifted the curtain and went in, and I just heard half of Mama Song's words-

"Mrs. Houfu is already sick in a hurry, and Mrs. Tai is also a little unwell."

Yijing hurriedly entered, asking with concern.

Only then did the eldest princess hear the rumors and send Mama Song to the Houfu to inquire, and then she knew the details.

Originally, a few days ago, the two maids beside Huang Wuniang were a little bored, warm and cool, as if they were suffering from the wind cold, Mrs. Hou hurriedly isolated the person, but also worried that Huang Wuniang was infected, and invited the doctor to take a look, and also suspected that the maid was suffering from the wind cold, and did not want to be a little feverish one day, Wu Niang had a little fever, so she asked the doctor to diagnose and treat her, but she was cold.

I don't want to last night, one of the maids began to have a high fever, and there is a red heart socket, the fingers are hot, only the middle finger is cold, the ear socket, and gradually "acne", the servant woman who took care of the maid knew that it was not good, and quickly passed it in, and then asked the doctor to see it, and said that it was a "pox rash".

Jianning was in a hurry, and invited the imperial doctor to come overnight, but the imperial doctor did not dare to diagnose it, until he saw the girl's condition, and said that Wu Niang was infected.

"That is, overnight, Wu Niang has a high fever and does not wake up, and sores have begun to appear on her body, so there is no doubt that it is a pox." Mama Song sighed: "After waiting for the lord to face the saint this morning, the saint ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it wholeheartedly, but the pox rash was a vicious disease, and he didn't dare to be careless. ”

"From this point of view, it was the two maids who contracted the pox first, and then they passed the illness." The eldest princess frowned slightly: "But the maid of the daughter of the boudoir rarely steps out of the inner house, where did she get the disease." ”

Yijing sat aside and listened quietly, with such doubts in his heart.

"But isn't it, the old slave also asked a few ladies in the Houfu, and they all said that no one had expected that since the Yunshui monk appeared last year, the maids in the courtyard of Wu Niang, not to mention the inner house, even the courtyard gate is not out, where is the chance of infection? But the doctor also said that the poison of this pox rash was originally hidden in the human body, and even if there was no external trigger, it would attack on its own if it could not be saved. Fortunately, Liuniangzi often went to talk to her sister, but after the Fanglin banquet, Mrs. Hou's mother took Liuniang to Cangzhou because of her birthday, she was not at home, so she did not get sick, and there was a Qiniang, who received a pox suit when she was a child, but she was fine, and she did not spread the disease, which was a blessing. Mama Song said again.

When the eldest princess heard this, she only said that this was really a catastrophe from heaven, and told Mama Song to pay attention to it every day, and when she saw the beautiful scenery and was depressed, she persuaded her: "Imperial Doctor Wang once stayed in the epidemic workshop and also cured the pox, since the Holy Lord asked him to diagnose and treat your fifth cousin, it is still a bit successful." ”

Yi Jing suspected that Huang Wuniang's illness was due to people's "calculations", but it was not good to suspect for no reason, and I thought that my grandmother or my eldest aunt had taken a lot of precautions these days, and I don't know what went wrong, if this matter was really related to the third prince, the imperial doctor was not insured, and he was worried, only saying that he was in good health now, but he never thanked the prince and Jiang Wei in person, and asked to go to the Chu Palace.

She really didn't feel at ease, and she just wanted to let Shizi win Mr. Kiyoya to treat her cousin, at least she could determine whether she was suffering from a disease or some kind of "poison".

Coincidentally, at this time, Jiang Wei also came to Guan Sui Yuan to talk to Rib Lane, but the prince went to the front hall because of "discussion" with foreign guests.

After the last "poisoning" incident, even Qiu Yue's attitude towards Jiang Wei has changed greatly, so although Yi Jing and Jiang Wei thanked her and thanked her for saving her life, Jiang Wei still had a lukewarm attitude, and Qiu Yue was not as "indignant" as before, even Jiang Wei said that she had something to talk to Yi Jing alone, and when she directly asked Qiu Yue and Xia Ke to avoid it, the two maids did not feel that it was rude, and when Yi Jing also bowed her head and signaled, she went out of the flower hall and followed Rib to prepare refreshments.

"Wu Niang, why be polite, the elders in your family have already given a heavy gift." Jiang Wei didn't hesitate, and snorted lightly: "For civilians like us who were born in the mountains, it is already a wealth that we have never dared to hope for. ”

It turned out that the eldest princess in order to thank the Jiang family for saving their lives to Yijing, even if she understood that the Jiang family's father and daughter were not greedy for wealth and nobility, naturally she would not say nothing, considering that Mr. Qinggu had just entered the office, and even the house was rented in a hurry, which was very simple, so she bought another house with three entrances and three exits for them, and even a pair of furniture were all purchased, thinking that it was a "thank you gift", Jiang Qinggu saw that the Guogong Mansion was full of sincerity, and it was not good to refuse again and again, so he had to laugh.

Yijing knew that Jiang Wei didn't care about these belongings, but she didn't know how to repay them, and she had expected that Miss Jiang would scoff at her gratitude.

"How can Ah Wei's life-saving grace be thanked with gold and silver, that house is just a piece of the elders' hearts...... If there is anything difficult for Ah Wei in the future, I need to do my part, don't take it into account. "Yijing's gratitude was originally sincere.

But in exchange for Jiang Wei's slight raised eyebrows: "Really? Whatever I ask, you can do it? The sentence "must do your best", the corners of Jiang Wei's lips hooked: "If one day, I let you stay away from the world, you can also do it?" ”

Outside the flower hall, Yu Feng, who had just walked quickly from the porch, heard this sentence through the door, and his footsteps suddenly stagnated, one hand in front of his waist, and the other hand behind, with a moment of silence in the flower hall, he gradually clenched.

Jiang Wei's directness, in the end, was still a little unexpected by the beautiful scene, at this time, the woman's expression of "affection" was mostly implicit, she and Jiang Wei were not close friends, and they couldn't even talk about acquaintance, they never thought that Jiang Wei would make this request unabashedly.

She didn't know that the silence at this moment made the teenager who was separated almost hold her breath.

Finally, I heard a sentence -

"I can't do it." Yu Feng's palm was loosened, and he was unabashedly relieved.

In the flower hall, Yi Jing clearly saw the sarcasm in Jiang Wei's eyes, and sighed lightly: "It's me who is too hypocritical, no wonder Ah Wei is disdainful." ”

"You can speak out, but you're not hypocritical to the end." Jiang Wei's heart darkened slightly, in this way, it was not in vain his affection for you, in the end, there was no mistake, but he said: "Wu Niang doesn't need to feel indebted to me, the reason why I saved you is all because of the son of the world, whether it is to repay the favor or thank you, I have to ask the son, as for me, I will naturally remember this favor on the head of the son, and there will always be a time to ask him for it." ”

The flower hall was quiet again, Jiang Wei was too lazy to speak, slightly sideways, and Yijing couldn't go down "politely", between her lowered eyes, her eyebrows were very sad.

Yu Feng stood outside for a while, and when he saw a few maids walking towards this side with refreshments, he continued to take steps.

He actually expected Yijing's intention today, and when he saw that she wanted to stop talking, he smiled slightly with relief, and didn't ask more, just said: "I already know." ”

Bowing slightly, avoiding those polite words, when she saw Rib presenting refreshments, she signaled her to withdraw from the flower hall, this time, Qiu Yue and Xia Ke did not wait for orders, and also left with Rib, the three maids left and two right until the bottom of the stairs, and then couldn't hear the words of the three people in the flower hall.

"After today's court meeting was dispersed, I happened to meet the Third Highness who entered the palace to ask for a doctor, only to know that Houfu Wuniang was suffering from a serious illness." Yu Feng poured the tea first, handed it to Jiang Wei, and saw that Yijing seemed to be looking forward to it, but shook his head slightly: "I know what the fifth sister is worried about, but Mr. Qinggu is in charge of the hospital's judgment, responsible for the health of the dragon's body, and his duties are heavy, and this time, I can't do anything." ”

The scenery was a little frustrating.

She should have thought that the imperial physician in the palace has a great responsibility, and the disease suffered by her cousin is an extremely dangerous "evil plague", if it is an ordinary person, she can't even ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it, and the prince bluntly said that Qinggu is in charge of the holy dragon body, then it is even more impossible to bear the risk of being infected by the "evil plague", but as soon as she heard that the third prince entered the palace to "ask for a doctor", she inevitably became more and more uneasy: "Then the imperial doctor is the one invited by the third highness?" ”

"Imperial Physician Wang was originally responsible for the daily safety of the concubines, and he had experience in curing acne rashes, and it should be based on this reason that the Holy Lord ordered him to diagnose and treat the lady of the Houfu." Yu Feng groaned slightly: "As for whether he is reliable or not, I dare not guarantee it." ”

The tacit dialogue between the two of them, in Jiang Wei's eyes, she couldn't help but feel more and more bitter, although she was present, she also heard the words clearly and clearly, but she didn't understand the meaning at all.

Yijing noticed that Jiang Wei frowned, and hurriedly explained the worries in her heart.

Jiang Wei suddenly realized: "Wu Niang is worried that your cousin is not suffering from illness, but because of poisoning?" ”

Yu Feng also asked: "As far as Ah Wei knows, can there be this kind of yin poison that can make people show the symptoms of acne?" ”

"I've never heard of it, but I can't guarantee it." Jiang Wei was originally extremely concerned about all kinds of poisonous weeds and medicinal properties, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "But if you can let me participate in the diagnosis and treatment, at least you can find out whether it is a disease or poisoning." ”

Yu Feng's eyes lit up: "Ah Wei is willing to treat the lady of Houfu?" ”

Yijing was a little worried: "The pox rash is a vicious epidemic, very contagious, although I don't understand medical science, but I have heard that the doctor is slightly negligent, and the disease is incurable......"

At this time, Jiang Wei could also see that Yi Jing was really worried about her, and smiled slightly: "I was vaccinated by the 'pox method' when I was young, Wu Niang doesn't need to worry, as long as you have a way for me to diagnose and treat your cousin, although I don't dare to guarantee that I can rejuvenate my hands, at least I can judge whether she is poisoned." ”

At this point, it is a matter of her cousin's safety, and it is rare that Jiang Wei can be willing to minister "regardless of her past suspicions", and Yijing did not hesitate anymore, so she had to owe her this favor again.
