In the small temple in the mountains, Xie Yangui's face was covered with a cloth towel, and he sat in a well-ventilated position blowing the wind, flipping through the booklet in his hand.

This was given to her by Yushu before she left Kyoto, and it recorded some of the symptoms and how to deal with them.

She had not yet found any records of symptoms similar to those she has today, so she was distressed.

The guards who followed her to the southern border pass of Qiannan were all sick, which showed that it was not an ordinary illness.

As they guessed, there might be an epidemic after the flood, but I don't know when they contracted it?

But at the moment, the situation at the border pass was also grim, Xie Yangui weighed it again and again, and decided to send a part of Ling Yuwei to go separately first.

But she couldn't be sure if she was also sick with the guards?

If you are also infected, rushing to the border will only bring more serious consequences.

Fortunately, the Ling Yuwei who followed were all hidden in the shadows, and they did not have much contact with them, and it seemed that there was no fever or other symptoms at present.

Before leaving, Xie Yangui specially instructed that once he felt unwell on the road, he would immediately stop and send a message to her.

There was a fire burning in the small temple, and in addition to the firewood that could be burned, there were also some herbs that could ward off the plague.

It's impossible to know for sure if it works, but it's better than nothing.

Xie Yangui's gaze was withdrawn from the booklet, he coughed lightly, and turned his head to look at the guards lying down in the small temple.

They are falling asleep.

The remaining Ling Yuwei followed Xie Yangui's instructions to check on the local situation and collect any herbs that might be used.

If it is really a terrible disease, perhaps there is already a cure for them in the local area, as long as you find medicinal herbs, you can cure them.

Coughing a few more times, Xie Yangui raised his hand and touched his forehead, unlike the guards, she did not have a fever, but only a little cough.

Other than that, whether it's eating, drinking, or spirit, it's not bad.

"I don't know if it's a blessing?" The difference in symptoms means that she may not have contracted it, which is a good thing at the moment.

"Ouch...... Ouch, my stomach hurts!" Suddenly, a guard woke up, clutching his stomach and groaning.

Xie Yangui hurriedly sorted out the cloth towel on his face and stepped forward to check the situation.

Knowing that he wanted to go for convenience, she hurriedly helped the person up and went to find a place outside the small temple.

Before this convenience was over, he heard someone calling again, confirming that the guard in front of him was okay, and Xie Yangui hurriedly entered the temple.

One by one, the guards were helped out of the temple by her, and one by one arranged a pit, and the white flowers were covered by low bushes.

Fortunately, Xie Yangui had a cloth towel on his face, otherwise, he would really be a little unbearable.

After entering Qiannan, the guards also had times of vomiting and diarrhea, mostly because of the unaccustomed water and soil.

But now, obviously different from the situation at that time, Xie Yangui looked through the booklet again, and found the herbs that could stop diarrhea from the remaining medicinal materials.

She did what the pamphlet said, boiling the herb into water and letting the guards take it.

In addition, she boiled another pot of porridge paste with sugar and salt, and watched the guards drink it with a bitter face.

Maybe it was the effect of the herbs, or maybe the "toxins" were discharged, and everyone stopped a lot, which made Xie Yangui breathe a sigh of relief.

However, this is just the beginning.

Xie Yangui was afraid that the illness would pass over to Ling Yuwei, so he didn't let them help.

If you need something, wrap it in a cloth and put it in one place, and then call Ling Yuwei to take it away, and then help her prepare.

All the sick guards were taken care of by Xie Yangui alone.

Fortunately, she never had the same symptoms as everyone else, except occasionally, her eyes would be a little blurry, or suddenly a little dizzy.

She didn't take it to heart because she had to take care of the sick and couldn't rest well.

——

In Qifeng Palace, Xie Ji drank medicine and leaned on the bed waiting for Yunlan to arrive.

She had a hunch that Yunlan would definitely come today, and she didn't have to wait too long.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Yu Qi entered the inner hall and returned, "Niangniang, the Cloud Palace is coming."

"Please let him in." Xie Ji commanded.

Yun Lan entered the inner hall and saluted her, "Say hello to the noble concubine, Niangniang Wan'an."

"Cloud...... The chief doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." Xie Ji chose the cloud leader from the title of Yun Lan.

She spoke softly, inviting Yunlan to take a seat, and at the moment when her words fell, Yu Qin came in from outside the hall with a tray and placed the refreshments on the small table next to the chair.

Only then did Yunlan notice that the location arranged for him was not far from the bedside. new

"But what's wrong? Cloud Chief, please take a seat." Seeing that he didn't move, Xie Cheng spoke with concern.

"Minister...... The minister is a pickled person, and he doesn't dare to get too close to his mother." Yun Lan hung his head, his posture extremely respectful.

Xie Ji's eyes fell on him, she didn't speak, just looked at him carefully, from the hair to the feet, and looked again.

"Come and sit." She said again.

After hesitating for a moment, Yunlan finally stepped forward and sat on the seat not far from Xie Hui, Yu Qin opened the lid of the tea bowl and poured the tea into it.

This is obviously an excellent tea, and the fragrance suddenly permeated and wafted in the inner sanctum, and Yun Lan's body stiffened slightly.

Such a familiar smell, now that I smell it again, I always feel like I am in a different world.

But he soon came to his senses and returned to his old self.

"This is something that can only be tasted here, Cloud Chief, please taste it." Xie Cheng had been looking at him, and had captured the stiffness of that moment, but she just didn't see it, and spoke softly.

The tea made by Yu Qin can be found by itself, and it is not unique to Qifeng Palace, but the way to make tea just now, as well as the method of taking water and preserving it, only she knows.

As for the dim sum served with tea, it was taught to her by Xie Hui, and she learned eight points.

Even so, when paired with tea, it is enough to evoke many memories of the past.

There are only a handful of people who have tasted this method of making tea and dim sum.

"Thank you, concubine." After a while, Yunlan picked up the tea and took a sip.

The aroma of tea permeated his mouth, making his throat stagnant.

He picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite of the tea, and chewed slowly.

The stagnation in his throat seemed to creep up little by little, sliding over his nose and then to the bottom of his eyes, and he hung his head slightly, so that no one could see the emotion in his eyes.

Xie Ji leaned on the bed and didn't say a word until Yunlan finished the whole pastry and took another sip of tea.

"Do you still like this refreshment?" There was a slight tremor in her voice.

Although she was trying to control it, there was some pain, and it was not so easy to suppress.

"Minister...... I love it." Yun Lan's voice still sounded so gentle, but compared to the past, there was a little more warmth that others couldn't hear, "Niangniang is still sick, don't worry about anything, it's important to take care of your body, please cherish Niangniang."

"Okay." Xie Cheng agreed, she seemed to have controlled her emotions, "It's a pity that I just woke up, and I can't make this snack and this tea by myself, if you have time in the future, come and drink a cup often."
