Chapter 3: The Fifth Prince is critically ill
Night.
Su Fei knocked on the door of his father's study with some objects left by his grandmother.
"Scarlet."
Su Xunzhi sat in front of the messy bookcase, looking at Su Fei who came from the door with a tired face.
Su Fei put the scroll and sword in his hand on the table.
"Father, this is left by my grandmother, and my daughter wants to bring it to you, so it can be regarded as a memory."
Although Su Xunzhi gave up martial arts and became a civil official in the household department, his eyes immediately lit up when he saw his mother's saber before his death.
He carefully stroked the scabbard with his hand.
"If there is no sword, there will be no mansion for our country. Find a good location tomorrow and hang it in the house to ensure the prosperity of our Su family from generation to generation. ”
Su Fei smiled and echoed the two sentences, turning to the topic.
"My daughter heard her sister talk about the Jinyang epidemic today, and her father is in the household department, so she must be sad in recent days. The grandmother left her daughter some money, and the daughter dared to ask her father for orders to go to Jinyang to open a shed to give porridge to share her father's worries. ”
"You?"
Su Xunzhi looked at Su Fei in surprise.
"How did you get to that kind of place for a girl, and besides, you will be in the palace in two months. What if you catch the plague? No, you can't. ”
"My daughter has a life-saving medicine from a miracle doctor. The father can rest assured that the daughter knows in her heart and will be able to get out of the way. ”
Su Xunzhi looked at Su Fei suspiciously.
Seeing her resolute expression, she didn't stop her too much.
"Well, it's good for the family. If you want to go, then go. The crown princess has been in the palace for three years without children, and the former and harem are staring at the position of the eldest grandson. You must protect yourself when you go, and don't lose your wife and soldiers. ”
-
Two days later.
The carriage to Jinyang was already waiting outside the house.
Su Fei put on a convenient dress and set off for Jinyang with some light luggage.
With nothing to do, Su Fei, who was sitting in the carriage, transferred out of the mall and bought a Huishen Pill for backup.
[Old K, can this elixir be used by others? 】
Old K: [Yes.] 】
[Can it be mixed with water for those who are sick?] 】
Old K: [Yes, but the effect of the medicine will be reduced.] 】
After listening to Lao K's words, Su Fei immediately spent another five hundred points and bought five Huishen Pills.
Old K: [You're starting to spend money again......]
Su Fei shook her feet triumphantly.
[Money is earned, and when I come back from Jinyang, I will put a lot of points in my pocket. 】
The carriage traveled smoothly, and when it was about to enter Jinyang City, it was suddenly stopped by the guards at the city gate.
Su Fei, who was sleeping in a daze, opened his eyes and listened to someone talking to the coachman as if he was standing outside the carriage.
She wiped her saliva.
"Why did you stop?"
The red kite lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, and returned in a short time.
"Miss, Jinyang is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter."
Su Fei frowned, "Did you give the paperwork?" ”
Red Kite nodded, "Yes, they don't recognize it." ”
Su Fei moved his stiff body, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
"Kite, you wait here, I'll take a look."
The gates of the city were full of soldiers, and their torches seemed to light up the night.
In the distance, I saw a group of soldiers on horseback coming from outside the city.
The man at the front was wearing armor and riding on a horse, and as soon as the soldiers defending the city saw him coming, they immediately bowed with their spears and shouted, "Meet the general."
Looks like a big shot.
Su Fei took two steps forward, and was suddenly stopped by a spear.
"There is always an order, Jinyang is strictly prohibited, and those who break through are killed."
The little man is only responsible for execution, and Su Fei knows that it is useless to tell him more.
So, she shouted at the man on the horse.
"I am Su Fei, the youngest daughter of Qingguo Gong, and I came to Jinyang to open a canopy to give porridge to relief the victims at the behest of my father. I have household paperwork, and I'm tired of letting go! ”
Su Fei's shout, the soldier next to her immediately stepped forward vigilantly and grabbed her arm and pressed her to her knees.
The person on the horse also pulled the reins when he heard the sound, turned around, and went straight to Su Fei.
Su Fei, who was kneeling on the ground, tilted her head and looked at the young man on the horse, who was wrapped in armor and looked at her condescendingly.
In the moonlight, his armor glowed silver.
Even with the torches beside him, the warm yellow light reflected on his face, but it could not dispel the coldness on his face.
"You said you were the youngest daughter of Qingguo Gong?"
"Yes."
The man winked, and the soldier immediately let go of Su Fei's arm.
Su Fei dusted off the dust on his body, took out the paperwork from the cloth pocket he was carrying, and handed it to the person on the horse.
"This is a document from the Ministry of Households."
The man took the paperwork and gave it a cursory glance, then with a flick of his wrist, it flew out of his fingers.
The paper floated down, happened to be stained with a torch, and ignited in an instant.
"What are you doing?!"
Su Fei stepped forward to grab the paperwork, but when the paper landed, most of it had already been burned.
She glared at the person in front of her, eager to jump up and give him two mouths.
But the man seemed to be in a good mood and raised the corners of his lips.
"The Fifth Highness is now infected with the plague, and the riots in the city have not subsided. His Highness was worried that someone would take advantage of the situation, so he gave an order. No one except for the doctor shall enter the city until His Highness is healed. ”
Su Fei took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
"I beg you to give a message to Your Majesty, I can save the life of His Royal Highness. In other words, except for me, no one can save the Fifth Highness. ”
The man raised his eyebrows, looked Su Fei up and down, and then glanced over her to the carriage behind her.
"Come on, detain the people in the carriage, and watch it. Wait for Miss Su to cure the illness of the Fifth Highness, and then send it to the city gate. ”
In the next second, he pulled the reins and leaned down and stretched out his hand in front of Su Fei.
"Miss Su, please."
Su Fei turned her head and watched the red kite and the maidservants and servants she brought from the house being "invited" by the soldiers, secretly clenched her fists, then took his hand and sat down on the horse.
The wind whistled past Su Fei's ears.
She clutched the ring in the saddle with both hands, "Dare to ask the general's name?" ”
The person behind him chuckled and said, "Under Song Jing'an, Miss Su has to remember." ”
Song Jing'an......?
Could it be that it has something to do with the crown princess Song Shu?
Song Jingan took Su Fei into a large mansion, walked through the corridor, went up the stairs, and stopped outside the first room next to the stairs.
He pulled a black cloth from his bosom, tied it to his face, and pushed the door open.
The people in the house were like him, and their faces were tied with cloths of various colors.
A strong smell of medicine came to my face.
Su Fei also followed suit, took out the handkerchief in his arms, and covered his mouth and nose.
Lying on the bed was a child of eight or nine years old, with a sallow face and pale lips, lifeless.
The copper basin under the window was full of blood.
There are two gray-haired imperial doctors guarding the bedside, one is taking the pulse of the Fifth Highness, and the other is acupuncture for the Fifth Highness.
"Lord Li, Lord Wang, this is Miss Su Er of the Qingguo family, who has come to see His Royal Highness Five."
Hearing this, the two imperial doctors raised their heads and looked at Su Fei who was standing beside Song Jing'an.
Then, the two imperial doctors glanced at each other, put down the work in their hands, and got up to salute Su Fei.
"Miss Su. This plague is not like the other disease, and it will take the life of a man within ten days. Even the two of us are a little difficult to deal with, so we can only breathe a sigh of relief for the Fifth Highness and find other opportunities. In my opinion, Miss Su should please go back, so as not to get sick. ”
didn't wait for Su Fei to reply.
The Fifth Highness on the bed suddenly began to twitch, accompanied by strange cries.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”
"Lord Li, please save Your Highness!"
The maidservants cried out, and the house was in chaos.
Imperial Physician Li hurriedly took out a pill from the box and stuffed it into the mouth of the Fifth Highness, and Imperial Physician Wang immediately stepped forward to administer the needle.
After tossing for a while, not only did His Fifth Highness not get any better, but blood suddenly gushed out of his nose and mouth, looking terrifying.
Su Fei saw that although His Royal Highness no longer vomited blood in his mouth, his face was almost the same color as the soil on the wall, and he couldn't wait any longer.
"You all go out, I have a way."
She stepped forward and watched as the two imperial doctors still refused to move in distrust.
"Lord Wang, Lord Li, Your Highness is going to die, and you can't delay any longer."
The two old men hesitated, "It's ......"
"If anything goes wrong with Your Highness, just count it on my head!"
