Zhu Yunchang left, and no one said goodbye, because the current situation is special, and he doesn't want Lou Yun or anyone else to have anything to do with him. It's not good for anyone.

Dongfang Yu sat in the middle of the king's chariot, lifted the curtain and looked at the distant capital, although she had not been here for a few days, but she was also deeply impressed. It's just that she also has a regret, that is, she didn't have the opportunity to meet her biological mother in the palace, although she hates her irresponsible mother, but she is her own mother after all.

Family affection is still thicker than water, and Zhu Yun often seems very calm. He held a piece of jade pendant in his hand, and he stroked the smooth jade pendant without saying a word.

This was originally going to be given to Lin Shuiyue, because Zhu Yunchang noticed that Lin Shuiyue's personal talisman was missing, and the answer that Lin Shuiyue gave him was also very casual, just saying that he accidentally lost it.

This was specially asked by Zhu Yunchang from King Liang, but it was a pity that Lin Shuiyue rejected his kindness, but Zhu Yunchang was also very satisfied to be able to live with her for so long.

It's just that he promised Linshuiyue what he hadn't done yet, that is, to rescue Tingqin.

He informed Epiphany, but Epiphany did not reply to his letter, and Epiphany disappeared as if the world had evaporated. This made Zhu Yunchang a little worried, because Epiphany's identity is very special, she has been lurking in the rivers and lakes waiting for an opportunity, but she is not like others, her identity is fixed. So Zhu Yun is often a little worried about her.

After all, Epiphany is a cronie he raised.

Zhu Yunchang recalled some things in the past, and he got to know Epiphany much earlier than he met Dongfang Yu.

At that time, he was still an upright teenager, but Epiphany was only a child under the age of ten, and their fate was related to a disaster.

It was a few days after the death of Zhu Yunchang's younger brother, Zhu Yunchang was very sad, compared to the respect of his brother, he still doted on his younger brother more, and he even wanted his younger brother to inherit his throne instead of passing it on to his own heirs.

But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. Blessing and misfortune are not alone, Fengxiang and even the entire northwest have broken out of the plague, and this plague is menacing. Many people did not escape the catastrophe, at that time, the two prefectures of Yongliang in the northwest were still relatively autonomous, and the imperial court did not have the right to govern, so all the dispatch could only rely on Zhu Yunchang himself.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunchang has his father and brother by his side, these seniors have much more experience than him, with their assistance, although the plague in Yongliang Erzhou has not been completely eradicated in a short period of time, but it has also reached a stage that can be controlled, and the entire city was under martial law at that time.

But there were still two "little mice" mixed in.

Zhu Yun often needs to cheer for the victims, so he often goes to some places where the patients gather to boost morale. And when he returned, he saw a scene.

The soldiers defending the city were driving away two children, a boy and a girl, the girl was slightly older than the boy and was supposed to be the older sister.

And the boy was already dying, and the girl held him against the wall, and no matter how much the soldiers drove them, they would not leave.

The soldiers continued to threaten the girl, but the girl refused to leave, and she kept begging the soldiers to let them into the city so that they could find a doctor to treat her brother.

But at that time, Zhu Yunchang's officials in charge of disaster relief had repeatedly ordered that refugees should not be allowed to enter the city, and then sprinkle quicklime and other things in the city to stop the spread of the plague. And those infected with the plague were sent to a fixed place to receive uniform treatment.

There was nothing wrong with the soldier, he just acted on orders. But the girl's attitude is also very resolute and she will never leave.

Because the girl knew that only by entering the city could she find the doctor, so that her brother could be saved. It's just that she doesn't know that she can't save her brother without money.

And Zhu Yunchang happened to encounter this scene when he returned to the city, Zhu Yunchang got out of the car to check it out, and after the little girl saw him, she rushed up and hugged his legs.

Zhu Yunchang's guards just wanted to pull her away, but Zhu Yunchang waved his hand.

The girl begged bitterly, "Big brother, save my brother." My brother is dying. ”

Zhu Yunchang lowered his body and asked, "How do you know that I can save your brother?"

The girl said, "The eldest brother's clothes are different from the others, and he will definitely be able to save my younger brother." ”

Zhu Yunchang sneered twice, but he liked this kid very much. So he waved his hand and took the girl's younger brother and went into the city together.

Zhu Yunchang took their sister and brother back to the palace, and asked his military doctor to treat the boy, and asked the girl to take a bath and change into clean clothes, after all, it is indeed indecent for beggars to serve in the palace.

However, to Zhu Yunchang's surprise, the girl who looked dirty turned out to be a beauty after washing.

This girl is Epiphany, although she was not yet ten years old at the time, but she was also delicate and coveted.

However, Zhu Yunchang at that time was not interested in her, because he only had his sister-in-law and a woman in his heart. What's more, he doesn't like girls who are much younger than him. Except, of course, the autumn rain bell.

Tanhua stayed by Zhu Yunchang's side at that time, of course, she would not be idle all the time, she became a little maid in Zhu Yunchang's mansion, and Zhu Yunchang did not assign too much work to this child, but was responsible for some sundries in the palace, such as sweeping the floor, wiping tables and chairs, etc.

And the rest of the time the girl went to take care of her younger brother, but unfortunately her younger brother was terminally ill, and Zhu Yunchang's doctor was no longer able to return to heaven, the only thing he could do was to let the boy live longer, so after a month, the boy still breathed.

But Tanhua didn't hold a grudge against the doctor and Zhu Yunchang at all, because she knew that they could let her brother live for an extra month, and they had done their best.

Zhu Yunchang asked people to buy a coffin for her younger brother, and then pulled it out and buried it. After all, he died of the plague, and he had to go through strict treatment.

In fact, the plague is not a serious disease, but it is extremely contagious, and the people who get sick and die are old or young. The young and strong people can drink a few patches of decoction.

But Epiphany's younger brother has been infected for too long, and he has been sick to the bone marrow and is completely hopeless.

Zhu Yunchang was very sympathetic to this girl at that time, because of the pain of losing a loved one, he understood.

He also had a good brother, and his brother died like this.

Zhu Yunchang was somewhat remorseful for not being able to save her brother, so he gave her a little silver. And he didn't have the face to meet the little girl who trusted him.
