A woman, dejected, holding a three- or four-year-old child, kept asking for help from the officials around her.

"Please, save my child, he is so young, life has just begun."

The official had received a report and came to take the child to Anminfang.

Now he saw the child in his mother's arms, hanging his little hands and feet weakly, twisting his brows and reaching out to probe the child's snort.

"You mourn, the child is gone, give him to us, and we will give him a good burial."

The woman shook her head like crazy, clutching her child and refusing to let go.

"My son is not dead! He called me mother yesterday, how could he die? I beg you, don't take my child, don't burn him, he's afraid of fire! ”

The official also couldn't bear it, but what could he do?

If the plague-infected corpses are not burned quickly, other people who come into contact with them will also die of the disease.

"Let it go, this is for those who are still alive to live well."

The official sighed and forcibly separated the mother and son. The woman fell to the ground with tears in her eyes.

"My child, my child! cough cough cough ......"

The official looked at the woman's face and exclaimed:

"She's plague too! Send her to Anminfang. ”

The people nearby only dared to look through the crack in the door to take a look at the situation outside, and quickly covered their mouths and noses and shrank back.

They don't even dare to cough loudly when they choke on saliva now, for fear that they will be reported to the government, and they will be the next to be taken away.

Once infected with the plague, rashes, headaches, coughs, high fevers, can kill a person in two or three days.

The people who were brought into the Anmin Square by the official mission have not come out alive so far, but they have only seen dead people being carried out and burned every day.

They are all flat-headed people, who can not be afraid?

Chu Wenjin said to Qingfeng and Qingjuan on the side:

"Qingfeng, Qingjuan, you go to the government to inquire about the situation and see if the lack of medicine is serious? Then ask what herbs are missing. ”

"Yes."

The two of them took the order.

Chu Wenjin walked all the way and understood the people's feelings all the way,

It was found that the plague was unprecedented in its reach.

In the past, plagues usually started in one place and spread around.

The government could seal off a city until the plague had subsided, keeping the others safe.

But this time, there were many places, and the epidemic occurred almost at the same time, which made it impossible to prevent it.

Even the capital has not been spared, and officials have contracted the disease. It's just that the people of the capital are still much better off than other places.

After all, there are many doctors and herbs in the capital.

When Chu Wenjin arrived in the capital, he had already recorded what he saw and heard along the road in a book for the imperial court to use as a reference for the distribution of relief materials.

Chu Wenjin thought about his way back to Beijing, it was too close to the plague, and it was better for him not to enter the palace in case he didn't enter the palace.

He presented this booklet and his report on his trip to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom to the hands of Emperor Jun Lingyun.

He found an inn to live in, and sent a message home, so that the Chu family could rest assured, and he would return home in five days.

After Mrs. Chu and Lord Shengya received the letter, they wept with joy.

In the palace, Jun Lingyun had seen the things that Chu Wenjin handed into the palace, and he also admired Chu Wenjin's carefulness in his heart.

He put down the booklet and went to the queen's bedchamber.

Since the accession to the throne by Jun Lingyun, Chu Yunxi has almost always stayed in the emperor's bedroom. But now he has changed places and returned to his dormitory.

It was only because Jun Lingyun was meeting with hundreds of civil and military officials every day that he was worried that if he also got the plague, he would infect Chu Yunxi, so he had to live in a separate hall with her.

Chu Yunxi is now a person with three lives, and he can't be careless.

The plague was so ferocious that even if it was treated in time, some people still died. Otherwise, how can people talk about the pestilence!

And the name of the queen's bedroom has already been replaced with "Fanghua Palace".

"The emperor has arrived!"

Hearing the little eunuch singing, Chu Yunxi, who was transcribing the prescription, hurriedly got up and walked a few steps outside, and finally saw Jun Lingyun.

But there are two layers of curtains, and Jun Lingyun still covers his face with cloth.

"Ling Yun, I found some more prescriptions to treat the plague, but I don't know which one is useful, you can leave it to the imperial doctors to discuss."

Xiaolian went to pick up the prescription that had not yet dried, blew it, lifted the corner of the curtain, and sent it to the palace maid.

The palace maid went to open the outer curtain again and handed it to Gonggong Fu beside Jun Lingyun.

Jun Lingyun Road:

"Xi'er, the third brother is back, and the father-in-law and eldest brother are fine."

"Really?"

Chu Yunxi's eyes instantly moistened, and he burst into tears.

She hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, not wanting Jun Lingyun to see her so fragile side.

But just wiped it dry, but it was wet again.

These days, the situation outside is getting worse and worse day by day, and she is worried day by day.

I am afraid that my father and brother who are outside will also accidentally be infected with the plague, and she will have to experience eternal separation from heaven and man again.

Now that she knows that her family is safe and sound, how can she still endure it, and her tense emotions are released in an instant.

Jun Lingyun nodded.

"Of course it's true, Xi'er don't cry, we'll all be fine."

Jun Lingyun's heart ached slightly, he witnessed Chu Yunxi's two lives, Chu Yunxi's concern for his family, he didn't understand.

Lost and regained, unforgettable!

Jun Lingyun wanted to take Chu Yunxi into his arms, rely on her, comfort her, and take care of her.

But for the sake of Chu Yunxi's safety, he could only look at her hazy through two curtains, and comforted her weakly.

"Xi'er, give birth to the child. I will protect our children. ”

Now it has been delayed by several days compared to the day Chu Yunxi originally planned, and he is afraid, afraid that if the child is older, Chu Yunxi's body will not be able to stand it.

Jun Lingyun is not obsessed with Chu Yunxi.

The closer he got to Chu Yunxi's birth, the more he didn't dare to think about the worst possibility.

I can only tell myself over and over again that Xi'er is a person who has the mercy of God, and she will be able to turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble.

Chu Yunxi touched his stomach, it was indeed not appropriate to delay it any longer.

"Okay, let Wen Po and Imperial Doctor Zhang prepare, I will give birth tomorrow."

She has been working harder and harder these days, and she always feels chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially at night.

Sometimes, you even have to be half-seated to fall asleep.

At this time, she was a little glad that Jun Lingyun was busy with official business and did not stay by her side all the time, otherwise Jun Lingyun would definitely feel distressed.

Fortunately, there are Xiaolian, Si Qi, and Can'er, three loyal maids to accompany her.

Chu Yunxi didn't know that Jun Lingyun knew her situation better than anyone else, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't want her to delay any longer.

But with Chu Yunxi's words, Jun Lingyun's worries did not weaken at all, but became more nervous. He was too afraid that he would lose Chu Yunxi again.

"Xi'er, I thought, don't let the outside world know about your production this time. The birth of a child is also kept secret for a period of time. When the plague passes, we will announce it to the world again, and the whole world will celebrate together, what do you think? ”
