Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Dream or an Illusion

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

When the carriage left the city gate, it joined the large army, and this time Bai Susu followed the team transporting medicinal herbs, and walked along the road for three days before arriving at Lin'an Mansion.

Lu Zhiyuan is now placed in the prefect's mansion, and because of his illness, Bai Susu did not see him for the first time.

After getting out of the carriage and entering the house, as soon as they entered the door, a maid came with medicine to prevent the plague, and gave them a bowl to drink.

Bai Susu didn't say anything, he raised his head with the medicine bowl and drank it all, then wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "What about Lord Lu." ”

"Auntie is tired all the way, let's go back to the room to rest first." The maid's name is Chun Tao, and she is the maid in the original prefect's mansion, this will be Bai Susu's first arrival, and Lu Zhiyuan arranged for Chun Tao to come over to serve her.

"I'm not tired, I want to see Lord Lu first." Bai Susu shook her head, she looked calm all the way, but her heart was already anxious.

Up to now, the source of the plague in Lin'an Mansion has not been found, and the Tai Doctor of the Tai Hospital has sent me I don't know how much, but he is still helpless, people continue to die every day, and the situation is getting to this point, I don't know what the next day will be like, where is Bai Susu in the mood to rest.

Chun Tao also saw the anxiety between her eyebrows, and paused, "Then you come with the slave." ”

Lu Zhiyuan was sick, and a lot of people were added to the courtyard, and before Bai Susu could enter the door, someone came up and covered her face with a white cloth, and smoked a pass of herbs, and then she was led into the house.

"Lord Lu just woke up the day before yesterday, he took medicine and just fell asleep." Chun Tao said.

Bai Susu nodded, left someone to wait at the door, and pushed the door into the house by himself.

The room was filled with smoked herbs, and the strong smell of choking her nose made her almost vomit, and she stretched out her hand to smooth her breath, and then walked towards the bed.

Lu Zhiyuan was asleep, his eyes were closed, and his brows were slightly furrowed, even in this state, it could still be seen that he was not sleeping well.

After moving a chair and putting it down next to the bed, Bai Susu reached out to hold the man's hand, and layers of emotions were involved in her heart, pressing on her chest, suffocating but unable to find an exit.

Lu Zhiyuan slept very deeply this night, and didn't wake up until it was dark, he opened his eyes and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the woman who was lying on the side of the bed and fell asleep.

There was a soft touch on his hand, and his hand was being held firmly, and somehow, it was a little sour at this moment.

He was sick, and the court naturally would not sit idly by, and would send someone to take care of him if he wanted to come, Lu Zhiyuan thought that the person who came would be Luo, after all, Luo was his wife, and it was supposed to come forward at this time, but it was Aunt Bai who came.

He wanted to see Aunt Bai, but he didn't want to see her coming, and he felt that Aunt Bai would come, probably something he could expect.

After tossing and turning in her heart for a while, Bai Susu also woke up, she had been on the road for three days in a row, and her body was a little tired, so she fell asleep on the side of the bed.

When she opened her eyes, she didn't come back to her senses, but after a while, the look in her eyes became clear, and she saw that Lu Zhiyuan had woken up, and she was looking at herself with burning eyes, her eyes were bent, and there was a smile between her eyebrows.

"Second master, you're awake."

This voice is soft and glutinous, soft and delicate, and she is the same as her usual coquettishness, although her face is covered with a scarf, but from those eyes, you can still see the joy in her eyes, it is the joy of seeing him.

"Nonsense, I didn't say I told you to go to the side room to rest, why did you come here?" Lu Zhiyuan had instructed the maid before going to bed, and when the person arrived, he would arrange to go to the wing room to rest first, he was sick now, whether it was Luo or Aunt Bai coming over, he didn't want to be involved.

"I'm worried about you." Bai Susu smiled again, "Second master, you have slept for so long, are you hungry, I'll let the kitchen get some food." ”

"You're hungry." Lu Zhiyuan saw her mind at a glance, this Aunt Bai was really greedy, and her nature couldn't be changed at all.

Bai Susu laughed twice, a little embarrassed, "I'm really hungry, I've been patronizing and traveling these days, and I'm not eating well at all." "Following the team transporting herbs, the past three days have been a rush with stars and moons, and the meals are basically solved by dry food.

Lu Zhiyuan saw that she was thin, and the little hand holding her with her backhand was also a little thinner, no wonder he couldn't bear it, he still preferred the fatter Aunt Bai, so his eyebrows became gentle, "What do you want to eat, let the kitchen do it." ”

"The doctor said you can't eat greasy things now, let's drink porridge with some small pickles, by the way, you can let the kitchen steam a pot of steamed buns." Bai Susu planned with great interest, not noticing that the man's gaze became more and more gentle.

"It's up to you." Lu Zhiyuan said softly.

Dinner was fed to Lu Zhiyuan by Bai Susu with a bowl, but when it was time for her to eat by herself, she was resolutely rushed back to her room by the man.

She knew that Lu Zhiyuan was afraid that she would be infected after a long period of contact, but she did not refuse his kindness, and now in this situation, if she also fell ill, wouldn't Lu Zhiyuan have to be distracted to take care of her.

The wing room is not far from the courtyard where Lu Zhiyuan is resting, after Bai Susu returns to the house, Chunlan and Chuntao serve her to take a medicinal bath, and the clothes she wore are changed inside and out, so tossed and turned, the moon doesn't know when it has been quietly hung in the sky.

Chunlan wrenched her hair, and Bai Susu said, "How is the plague situation now, but what is the best way not to?" ”

Hearing this, Chun Tao, who was standing behind her, sighed, and was worried in her words, "I heard in the newspaper yesterday that more than 30 people died, if you can't find a way, I'm afraid you ......" Speaking of this, Chun Tao couldn't go on, she didn't finish her words, but she didn't have to say anything.

Bai Susu's expression was also a little gloomy, she remembered the words she heard on the road from the officer escorting the herbs, and issued a secret order from above, if there is no cure for the plague within half a month, decisive measures must be taken.

The so-called decisive means is roughly to let thousands of people in Lin'an Mansion be buried for this plague.

Bai Susu sighed in her heart, only to feel very tired all over, making people retreat, she lay on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.

She had a dream at night, the person in the dream was the third prince Xiao Pingzhang, the third prince blocked a knife for the emperor, and lay down for more than a year before waking up, from the time he woke up, the situation in the DPRK and China reversed, the princeling party and the three princes fought with each other, and the three princes finally overwhelmed the prince and sat in that position. And the Lu family also began to be unlucky, and then Lu Zhiyuan was dismissed, impeached for bending the law for personal gain, abuse of power and other crimes, imposed on him, and finally beheaded for public display.

The moment the executioner's hand lifted the knife and fell, Bai Susu sat up suddenly, his back was already wet with cold sweat, and large beads of sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks.

Her heart was pounding, and she rested her head on her knees, forming an embracing posture, and her thoughts eased a little.

How could you suddenly have this dream?

What she had experienced in person was now remembered in the form of a dream, with obvious fear and uneasiness, which soaked into her body little by little, and as the sweat on her back cooled down a little, a chill rose to her bones.

I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until there was a whispered conversation outside that she raised her head, and her voice was faintly mute, "Come in." ”

Chun Tao and Chun Lan carried water into the house, served her to freshen up, changed her coat, had some breakfast, and went out.

Her face was not good, Chunlan and Chuntao naturally didn't say much, they went to Lu Zhiyuan's courtyard in silence all the way, standing at the door, Bai Susu took a deep breath, changed a bright smile on her face, stretched out her hand to push the door into the house, and looked at the man leaning on the bed with crooked eyebrows.

"Second master, how are you doing today?"

Lu Zhiyuan looked at the worry between her eyebrows and the smiling eyes, knowing that she was deliberately pretending to be relaxed like this, and his heart was finally warm, and he also smiled, "It's already much better." ”

Presumably I almost couldn't get through it a few days ago, and this will indeed be said to be much better, but the medicine to treat the plague has not been found, and this good word cannot be talked about at all.

Bai Susu sat down on the edge of the bed, and the two of them talked about each other, and when they saw Lu Zhiyuan's eyebrows frowning, he wanted to explain him, "Second master, are you still worried about the plague outside, this will make you sick yourself, and the imperial doctor is here, don't worry about it, take care of your illness." ”

Lu Zhiyuan saw her looking at herself, hooked her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'm not worried." He heard from his subordinates that in the past few days, a lot of troops have been transferred from the capital to be stationed outside Lincheng, and almost all of them have surrounded this place.

Looking at the gentle face of the man in front of her, she suddenly remembered the executioner's cold light knife again, and her heart sank, and her face turned a little pale.

"Aunt Bai, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhiyuan saw that she suddenly stopped talking, and her face was a little ugly, and he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

"You're going to lie to me." Bai Susu came back to his senses and laughed.

Although Lu Zhiyuan was recuperating, his subordinates still reported to him about the plague once a day, and it happened that Bai Susu was in the house, and when he saw someone coming, he went to stay in the room for a while.

The subordinates reported for about half an hour, and Lu Zhiyuan told some more words, which made people leave.

"By the way, is there any chaos in the city this time?" Lu Zhiyuan remembered that when he first came, because of the actions of the former prefect Wu Zhiyi, there were a lot of smashing, looting and burning incidents in Lin'an Mansion, and it took him a lot of effort and time to stabilize the people.

"It's calm, and occasionally some small messes are stopped in time." The subordinate replied, and suddenly remembered something, "But recently there is an old man in the city who has been shouting all day long, saying that he can cure the plague. ”

"Oh? Have you asked in detail whether you really have the ability? Lu Zhiyuan asked.

"I had already asked, and my subordinates asked him if he could cure the plague, and he said that if there was any scaella, he could cure it. The subordinates observed that they were just drunk and talking nonsense, and this person was always shouting and screaming in the city, making people panic, and his subordinates had already put people in prison. ”

Lu Zhiyuan nodded, at a time like this, it is indeed not appropriate to cause more trouble, "Okay, retreat." ”

The subordinate bowed and withdrew. Lu Zhiyuan spoke, "Come out." ”

The cloudy thoughts in Bai Susu's mind cleared up a little bit, and then he suddenly remembered something, and there was an obvious light in his eyes, "Second master, that person can really cure the plague." ”
