"What? What did you say? ”

Soon, someone ran to the royal chariot to return.

Gao Zhongliang was stunned.

He was originally standing on the steps of the imperial chariot, and when he heard this, he subconsciously followed the steps and returned to the car door.

Leaning his back against the door.

If it weren't for a shred of reason to remind him that behind the car door was His Majesty, Gao Zhongliang would have kicked the door open directly and jumped back into the palace.

That's a plague!

It's contagious.

The little eunuch who ran back to the envoy after the imperial chariot was the one who was responsible for taking the imperial doctor to see Jiang Yanchi.

Even if the little eunuch did not have direct contact with Jiang Yanchi, he was in the same carriage.

In such a confined space, if you sneeze and say a word, you are probably infected.

The little eunuch is infected, so if you talk to him closely, will you also be infected?

Gao Zhongliang lived to be almost 50 years old and experienced two epidemics.

He has even seen the miserable appearance of patients when the epidemic breaks out.

In particular, this disease, once you get it, there is no cure at all, you can only wait for death.

In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the imperial court did not even give the opportunity to "wait for death".

A person, a yard, or even a village will be sealed off.

In more serious cases, it will also be set on fire.

The epidemic is not only terrible in itself, but also in the reaction of the superiors caused by it.

"That's what Imperial Physician Xu said."

"Moreover, the little ones have also seen it, and Twenty-one Lang's arms are covered with rashes and pustules."

The little eunuch said as he ran, and tears came down his eyes.

He's afraid, he's really afraid!

"yes, please, save the little one, the little one doesn't want to die!"

When the little eunuch finished his return, he begged bitterly.

Gao Zhongliang: ...... Help you? By me?

I don't have that much decency.

It's a plague!

It's a life-threatening infectious disease!

Slowly, it is a little eunuch, a eunuch in charge, that is, Twenty-one Lang, a tyrant in the capital who was personally favored by His Majesty, and now he has this fatal disease, and he can only be abandoned.

Sure enough—

Through the door panel, Gao Zhongliang looked back at the matter in a low voice.

Emperor Yuan An was shocked, and he couldn't believe what he heard-

Epidemic disease?

Is there a possibility of an epidemic?

He, the emperor, is unlucky enough.

First the rebels, then the escape from the capital, and then the ......

It was not easy to get rid of the pursuit of the rebels temporarily, but I didn't expect that Jiang Yanchi, a shaft, actually got an epidemic.

"What about people? What about the Jiang Yanchi people? ”

"By the way, there are also the eunuchs who passed the decree and the imperial doctors who went to check the pulse, where are they all?"

"And you, Gao Zhongliang, you haven't been in contact with those people, have you?"

Although Gao Zhongliang was very sensible, he did not enter the imperial chariot, but returned outside the car door.

However, Emperor Yuan An was still very afraid.

He looked around in panic, as if there was a deadly virus floating in the air.

He even picked up a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, not daring to inhale at all.

Gao Zhongliang: ......

I knew that His Majesty would react like this.

He lowered his head, his face full of sadness, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Twenty-one Lang is still in the carriage." ”

"The old slave has ordered someone to surround the carriage."

"The little eunuch and the eunuch were also under control, and they were all locked up in one carriage."

"Although the old slave did not have close contact with the little eunuch, he talked to him face-to-face, so the old slave did not dare to enter the imperial palace."

"When the ceremony is over, the old slave will find an idle carriage by himself and isolate it temporarily."

While Gao Zhongliang answered truthfully, he didn't forget to defend himself-

First, he did not have direct contact with the little eunuch who was suspected of being infected;

Second, he will isolate himself, make sure there is no problem, and then come back to serve his master.

When Emperor Yuan An heard these words, he exhaled slightly.

OK! OK!

Jiang Yanchi is a broom star of his father and mother, and he is a scourge who brought back the epidemic.

But, Gao Zhongliang is reliable.

Unfazed, thoughtful, and loyal.

Without the orders of Emperor Yuan An, Gao Zhongliang did everything by himself.

Such a good minion, Emperor Yuan An was reluctant to give it up.

"Good! Just do as you say, find yourself a carriage, don't make contact with people, don't follow me. ”

"Far away, follow behind, you can."

"If there is no illness after three or five days, you will come back and serve me."

Emperor Yuan An showed kindness to Gao Zhongliang.

But he will not let go of Jiang Yanchi and others.

"As for Twenty-One—"

It's the child I've loved for many years.

Emperor Yuan An is indeed selfish and cold, and he can give up anyone for his own sake.

However, the child raised since childhood, Emperor Yuan An still has a little bit of sincerity towards Jiang Yanchi.

It's a pity that this bit of sincerity is still insignificant compared to his own life.

"Alas, in the end, it is my righteous son, and I can't bear to kill him."

"In this way, dispose of the coachman, the little guy and the others, and put Twenty-one Lang on the side of the road."

did not give an order to die, but left people on the side of the road and left to fend for themselves, which was already the greatest mercy of Emperor Yuan'an.

"There are other people who have been in contact with Twenty-One Lang, and they will also be disposed of."

Except for Jiang Yanchi, Emperor Yuan An is a cold horse to others.

This "other contact person" not only includes the little eunuch and Imperial Doctor Xu, but also the entourage who went to raid the house with Jiang Yanchi.

All of them add up, there are more than 20 people.

With Emperor Yuan'an's words, more than 20 people were killed on the spot, and their bodies were also set on fire.

Thump!

Jiang Yanchi, who was groggy and groggy with a fever, was directly thrown into the open space on the side of the official road.

Right next to him was a body that had caught fire.

The fire was raging, and the clothes, skin, and flesh were burned.

There was a foul smell in the air.

Jiang Yanchi, who has a habit of cleanliness, can't take care of these anymore.

He struggled to open his eyes, and saw several figures swaying in the distance.

At the head was a chubby eunuch.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Yanchi heard the identity of that person - Gao Zhongliang!

"Twenty-one Lang, don't blame Your Majesty, you are infected with an epidemic."

"Your Majesty has already shown you a favor and has not directly given you death."

Unlike those people, whose bodies were already charred.

"However, don't worry, the old slave has already sent someone to find the Jiang family."

"They should have someone to save you!"

Gao Zhongliang himself didn't believe this.

As for Jiang Yanchi's moody and crazy temperament, it is difficult for anyone to be willing to endure it unless he is his biological parents.

And Jiang Yanchi's father died before he was born.

His mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to him, and less than three days after giving birth to him, she also died.

Without parents, there are a lot of great-grandfathers, grandfathers, uncles, and a lot of other elders in the family.

However, they have always been separated from Jiang Yanchi.

Coupled with Jiang Yanchi's madness, his six relatives don't recognize him, and his relatives have no feelings for him.

Therefore, even Gao Zhongliang also felt that the Jiang family should not sacrifice their lives to take care of Jiang Yanchi, who was infected with the epidemic.

Subsequent facts proved that Gao Zhongliang still overestimated the Jiang family.

Instead of sacrificing their lives to save the Jiang family, they also fell into the ground......
