Chapter 63: Medicinal Materials

Behind the secret door is a dark room.

After Zhao Wanning followed Jiao Niang in, she found that the eldest princess she couldn't find was also here.

"Celestia? You're back? Zhao Wanning said in surprise.

Celestia nodded: "What's wrong?" Do you have something to do with me? ”

Zhao Wanning hurriedly walked to her side, in front of Jiao Niang, Zhao Wanning didn't dare to say it directly, she leaned close to the eldest princess's ear, and said in a voice that only the eldest princess could hear: "I dreamed of the Qingzhou plague yesterday, it was very serious......"

The eldest princess's expression did not change in any way, and she motioned for Zhao Wanning to sit down.

Jiao Niang also sat down in front of the Eight Immortals table, a small stove was placed in the center of the Eight Immortals table, tea was boiling on the stove, Jiao Niang poured a cup for Zhao Wanning: "This is the tea that our doctor uses herbs, although it is not as good as your famous tea, but it is also a little wild." Taste it. ”

Zhao Wanning took the teacup, but she couldn't drink it.

Jiao Niang poured two more cups of tea and handed them to the silver candle and the painting screen. Yinzhu was a little flattered, she had just recovered from the relationship between Jiao Niang and Zhao Wanning, and saw this Jiao Niang sitting directly in front of the eldest princess.

An ordinary gambling house owner dared to sit on an equal footing with the princess and the county lord...... Honestly, it's a big shock to the silver candle.

"Take it." Jiao Niang stuffed the tea cup into the hand of the silver candle and tapped her cheek affectionately.

Silver Candle has been taking care of Zhao Wanning a little anxious in the past few days, and two small pimples have appeared on her cheeks, and she is feeling uncomfortable.

Jiao Niang said: "Little girl, try this tea, it can get rid of the acne on your face." ”

"Really?" Silver Candle was very pleased to hear this, and drank this cup of hot tea while it was hot.

The tea is slightly bitter at first, but it is hot when you drink it, and it is sweet when you swallow it.

"Really, I never lie. I'll ask the swallows to bring you some back when you're gone, and you'll make a pot every day, and within three days, the acne will be gone. ”

Silver Candle first looked at Zhao Wanning, and when she saw Zhao Wanning nodding at her, she was overjoyed: "Silver Candle thanked Sister Jiaoniang." ”

Jiao Niang smiled and said, "It's really good, my sister loves to deal with you little girls." ”

This joke finally diluted Zhao Wanning's sorrow a little.

The eldest princess rubbed the tea cup in her right hand, and said with a straight face: "After the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic." Even if you don't say it, I'm ready. ”

Zhao Wanning looked at the eldest princess puzzled and said, "What do you mean......"

"It's not just me, the imperial court should be prepared. It's just that the affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, and there is no news from Qingzhou. The eldest princess took a sip of hot tea, and then said leisurely: "I won't tell you anything, I left Beijing in the past few days to prepare for this plague." ”

"The flood in Qingzhou is very serious, and now it is difficult to survive the rainy season, and this post-disaster reconstruction also needs to be rebuilt. It stands to reason that an epidemic usually occurs after a flood, and the scope of the epidemic is as small as a village, as large as a city, or even a state, but now more than two months have passed since the flood in Qingzhou, but I have never heard of a plague. Either Qingzhou is lucky and escaped this time, or it is ......"

"The plague has spread, but it has not yet shown symptoms." Zhao Wanning continued the words of the eldest princess.

Celestia looked heavy, and she continued, "This is where the real tricky part is. If it is really the latter, I am afraid it will be a vicious battle. ”

Zhao Wanning's expression was grim. If it is true that the plague has spread but no one has yet shown symptoms of infection, then it is inconvenient to distinguish the infected from the uninfected, and in the long run, the uninfected will be infected by the infected, so that more and more people will be infected with the plague, and the management will be more complicated.

If this plague is just some ordinary wind and cold, it is better to say, I am most afraid that the symptoms of this plague are serious and life-threatening.

According to Zhao Wanning's dream, I am afraid that this plague in Qingzhou will be the latter.

Zhao Wanning felt terrible when she thought of the piles of corpses in her dream. She took the eldest princess's hand and said, "I'm afraid it's not a simple plague. ”

When the eldest princess saw her complicated expression, she knew that it might really be a vicious battle. She covered the back of Zhao Wanning's hand and comforted her: "Since you are in such a hurry, I'm afraid it is really difficult." I left Beijing in the past few days to collect some medicinal materials around the capital, for fear that once there is a plague in Qingzhou, I will not be able to find medicine for a while. ”

"However, there is no situation in Qingzhou at present, and I don't know what kind of plague it is, and whether these medicinal materials I have hoarded are symptomatic." The eldest princess sighed, "Okay, I'll go to the palace when I go back today, such a major matter about the national body still needs to be decreed by the saint and solved by the imperial court." ”

Zhao Wanning nodded: "Now it's only like this." ”

Seeing the eldest princess's sad face, Zhao Wanning said again: "If there is something that needs my help, cousin, just ask." ”

The eldest princess smiled and said, "I'm afraid I really need your help in this matter." ”

Zhao Wanning pulled out his hand and pressed the eldest princess's hand, and said without hesitation: "What do you need me to do?" ”

Seeing her serious expression, the eldest princess said hesitantly: "Wanning, if I say that I need you to go to Qingzhou?" ”

Before Zhao Wanning could speak, Yin Zhu hurriedly said: "Eldest princess, the county lord blew the wind to save those children the day before yesterday and contracted the wind cold. The county lord had a high fever for three days after she returned, and the fever just subsided today. ”

"You don't know how weak the county lord was when he got out of bed today, if it weren't for the silver candle, I quickly supported the county lord, I'm afraid the county lord would have fallen to the ground."

The female doctor also said that the county lord's health is not well, but the fever has subsided temporarily, and she is weak and it is best to stay in bed. But after the county lord finished his meal today, he was in a hurry to go out to the eldest princess's mansion to find you. The people in your house said that you had not returned to Beijing yet, and the county lord came here non-stop. ”

"County Lord, she is weak now," Silver Candle glanced at Zhao Wanning's pale lips, gritted his teeth and said, "County Lord, I'm afraid I can't take on this heavy responsibility......"

One in front of her is the eldest princess, who is the biological daughter of the current saint, and the other is the kind-hearted county lord of her family. As a small slave, Silver Candle really has no position to speak.

If it is really investigated, it is not too much for the eldest princess to punish her for a big crime of disrespect.

But Yinzhu had to say it, because she knew that if she didn't say something, Zhao Wanning would never say it, and she would respond silently.

This is to Qingzhou.

Although Silver Candle does not understand the government, through the descriptions of Tian Xiaocao and A Tao these days, he can also know how serious the flood in Qingzhou is.

Now that the capital is freezing cold, Qingzhou is still in the north of the capital, isn't it even more cold and difficult.

How could Zhao Wanning go to a place like Qingzhou to suffer.

Besides, although she didn't understand the conversation between the eldest princess and the county lord just now, she also knew that there might be a plague in Qingzhou.

Such a place full of dangers, Zhao Wanning must not go.

"Silver Candle." Zhao Wanning's voice was gentle, and she didn't mean to blame her. She also knew that the silver candle was for her good and protected her.

Silver Candle silently shut up, she lowered her head, thinking silently I am afraid that I have to find the eldest princess to come forward in this matter, and only the eldest princess can keep Zhao Wanning.

"Celestia, don't mind. Silver Candle is also worried about me, that's why ......"

The eldest princess waved her hand indifferently and said, "You are a loyal girl." ”

This was addressed to the silver candle.

Zhao Wanning glanced at the silver candle and motioned for her to hurry up and apologize to the eldest princess.

The painting screen also touched Silver Candle's arm.

Silver Candle reluctantly saluted: "Thank you for your forgiveness." ”

"It's also a loss to her." Princess Celestia asked with concern, "How are you doing?" How can I suddenly have a fever? ”

Zhao Wanning shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a cold wind blowing and freezing." After taking the medicine, it is much better. ”

The eldest princess looked at Zhao Wanning's pale lips, she raised her hand and touched Zhao Wanning's forehead, and then touched herself, confirming that the temperature of Zhao Wanning's forehead was almost the same as her own.

"Since you're not well, forget it. I'll look for someone else. The eldest princess patted the back of Zhao Wanning's hand: "You, just rest in the house and take care of your body." ”

As soon as Silver Candle heard this, she knew that the eldest princess was not going to let Zhao Wanning go to Qingzhou, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wanning took the initiative to fight: "You want me to go to Qingzhou to help control the plague, right?" I can go. I had a fever that had subsided today, and the doctor said that I would be completely cured by taking medicine in a few days. I can go. ”

Zhao Wanning also thought very clearly, this plague does not know what the situation is, although the eldest princess has prepared medicinal materials in advance, but no one knows what kind of plague Qingzhou is, and how to prescribe the right medicine. She had dreamed in her dreams that the doctors were helpless against the plague, otherwise they would not have been able to watch the sick lying in bed waiting to die.

Zhao Wanning still remembered the look of despair on the faces of those patients. Although she didn't know how many people had died from the plague, she felt terrible at the thought of the mountain of corpses.

Those patients, they may be the pillars of the family, they may be the father, the mother, the son, the daughter, they represent the family.

Zhao Wanning didn't want to see anyone die. She herself died once, and when she lived again, she felt that life was so precious that she didn't want to see someone die in front of her. That's why she went to help the Su sisters, as well as Tian Xiaocao and Ah Tao. She wants to use her strength to help those around her who can help.

Since she can dream of the plague in Qingzhou, then maybe she can also dream of the solution to the plague, and it is only fitting for her to go to Qingzhou to deal with the plague.

If he can use his own strength to save the lives of these people, it will be even better for Zhao Wanning.

Zhao Wanning raised her head and looked at the eldest princess with a resolute gaze: "You know, my ability is far more than that. I was the best person to go to Qingzhou to deal with the plague. ”

The eldest princess said with a straight face: "Qingzhou is not peaceful now, just now I thought about it, and I was dizzy for a while, so I wanted you to go to Qingzhou." You are just a small county lord raised in the courtyard of the deep palace, where do you have the ability to deal with the plague? The court still has to come forward in this matter. ”

"I'll go directly to the palace to tell my father later, and ask him to send the ministers of the court. Those doctors in the hospital. On weekdays, I eat the king's fortune, and now I should worry about the king. ”

Zhao Wanning said: "It is naturally better for people from the Tai Hospital to go, but I can also help a lot if I go." What if they just need me? ”

The eldest princess's tone was a little serious: "You have never been out of the capital, how can I rest assured that you will go to a place so far away from Qingzhou?" Even if I can rest assured, can my aunt rest assured? ”

"Wanning's matter is so decided, don't think about it anymore. With the strength of you and me alone, we can't do this, so let's leave it to the imperial court. Let the people in the court figure it out. ”

"But-" Zhao Wanning wanted to say more, but saw the eldest princess stand up directly.

"That's it for today. I'll go to the palace now. The eldest princess interrupted her, "Wanning, you should also go back and rest earlier." Silver Candle, take your lord back quickly. ”

Silver Candle hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Wanning up. She replied respectfully, "Yes, Celestia Celestia." ”

"Celestial princess......" Zhao Wanning is still not giving up.

The eldest princess deliberately ignored her, turned her head and instructed the Jiao Niang on the side: "Jiao Niang, these medicinal materials I brought back are so good that you can put them away, and they will be put away after they are ordered." ”

"Yes." Jiao Niang's face was also full of seriousness.

The eldest princess glanced back at Zhao Wanning.

After being silent for a long time, she said: "Wanning, you go back to the house first, everything is waiting for my news." ”
