Your majesty, Empress Xianyu doesn't want to leave the cold palace

Jiang Li went directly to Lingshan Temple after escaping from the palace.

The mountain house hidden in the mountains is quiet and elegant. When you open the door, the "squeak" sound is particularly loud in the quiet night. Stepping on the stone paved path and walking in, you see the figure standing in the courtyard.

He stood there quietly, his azure shirt swaying slightly in the night wind, while he looked up at the sky with a melancholy expression. People couldn't help but marvel at the fact that even a person born with character can feel sad.

Jiang Li approached, his voice low, "Master, my identity has been exposed."

"It doesn't matter."

Regardless of being exposed, from now on, his plan can be officially launched.

Si Baiyu still remembers that that day, he tested her and asked her if she had any thoughts of leaving the palace.

As long as she said she wanted to leave, he could take her away.

But she actually said she didn't want to leave.

Even if Yu Wenchen didn't remember anything, even if Yu Wenchen treated her coldly, made her sad, and disappointed her, she actually still retained hope in Yu Wenchen.

She reserved a place for Yu Wenchen in her heart.

She told him that she could wait, that she was willing to wait.

She was thinking about another person, looking forward to starting over with that person.

Ah.

She would rather gamble on an unknown future than leave.

why?

He didn't understand why she would rather wrong herself than leave?

At that moment, listening to her words, it was as if poison had been quenched in my heart, so vicious and angry that I wanted to destroy everything.

Yuwen Chen is just an ordinary person among thousands of sentient beings.

How could he get her to treat him differently?

Since she refused to leave, he could just help her recognize the reality and help her make a decision.

If she couldn't see the reality clearly, then he would let her see it more clearly.

**

Changle Palace.

Qi Ranran was leaning on the pillow. When the Queen Mother saw Yu Wenxin, she hugged him and refused to let go. She looked at Qi Ranran and then at the little baby in her arms. After comparison, she made a judgment, "Xin'er looks more like an emperor." .”

The Queen Mother felt that the name Yu Wenxin was very good, and it was a good idea.

Qi Ranran smiled, "No matter who the child looks like, I like them all."

I thought the child was ugly at first, but I didn't expect that the child looked different every day.

The facial features seemed to be squeezed together before, but now they are slowly opening up.

"Yes," the Queen Mother smiled and placed Yu Wenxin next to Qi Ranran, "Mother naturally loves her child more and more."

Qi Ranran looked at the children beside him, with a motherly smile on his eyebrows as he lowered his eyebrows.

When she was pregnant with him, she had been thinking about what the child would look like. Now, she could finally see it every day. She would grow up with him slowly and give him everything she could. She hoped that her A child can make up for the shortcomings of childhood and become a happy child.

Qi Ranran has not yet given birth, and the Queen Mother does not want to disturb her. Nothing is more important than taking good care of her body.

Although she likes children, she doesn't want to be tired.

Instructing Qi Ranran to lie down, the Queen Mother said a few more words before leaving, "You are a blessed child, take good care of your health and don't think too much about other things."

Qi Ranran smiled sensibly, "Thank you, aunt, for remembering. I remember."

After the Queen Mother left, Qi Ranran took a rest, and then Mother Song brought fish soup.

Qi Ranran knew that this was to replenish the body after pregnancy.

After giving birth, she began to eat confinement rice.

It was bland every day, and she felt that if it continued like this, her mouth would no longer be able to taste it.

Seeing the pitiful look on Qi Ranran's face, Grandma Song smiled and advised, "Your Majesty, if you have good nutrition, your body can recover as soon as possible."

While talking, I heard Eunuch Li singing, and it was Yu Wenchen who came.

Aunt Song moved out of the way knowingly.

Qi Ranran lowered his head and drank the fish soup silently.

When Yu Wenchen entered the inner room, it was very quiet, and the people around him withdrew their eyes first.

Seeing that someone remained silent, Yuwen Chen became a lot more embarrassed and looked in her direction from time to time.

He had noticed that he and the queen had fallen into a mode of treating each other as if they were guests.

I can talk and care, but I always feel like there is something behind me.

Sensing the eyes on him, Qi Ranran could no longer ignore it. When he looked up, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

After giving birth to Yu Wenxin, Grandma Song told her that if she wanted to keep her body healthy in the future, she needed to take good care of herself. Therefore, Qi Ranran had specially arranged confinement meals every day.

She has special dietary arrangements and does not eat with Yu Wenchen.

Yuwen Chen nodded hastily when asked.

However, a stomach growl betrayed his embarrassment.

They were the only two adults in the inner room, and the infant Yu Wenxin had just been fed by a wet nurse.

Qi Ranran's eyes were slightly surprised, and he called Caiyue to pass on the meal, and then asked, "It's already late, why don't you want to eat?"

It's evening now.

Eunuch Li, who had brought some snacks for Yu Wenchen to fill his stomach, sighed, "Mother, you don't know that there was a sudden emergency in the capital, which made people panic. The emperor was so busy that he didn't even have food, let alone water." I didn’t have time to take a sip.”

Eunuch Li knew that the emperor would never be able to express his complaints. In this case, he had to speak for the emperor.

There was nothing he could do. Seeing that the empress was neither cold nor indifferent to the emperor, of course he had to make the emperor pitiful and make the empress love the emperor.

Qi Ranran raised his head and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a layer of dry skin on the corners of Yuwen Chen's lips, and his skin seemed a little heavier.

The dry skin on the corners of Eunuch Li's mouth became even more serious.

Now that summer is here, going for a run outside the palace is like basking in the sun.

Seeing that he was working hard but didn't say a word, Qi Ranran softened and asked, "Is the situation serious?"

She remembers malaria outbreaks in the summer.

Mainly because of limited conditions and mosquito bites, it is easy to cause symptoms of large-scale outbreaks.

Yu Wenchen only talked about the core results and skipped the sensational process. "The city has been locked down and the disease is under control."

The first person to notice symptoms was Lizhuang near Beijing.

The capital has frequent and large population movements every day.

Someone in Beijing was infected with the disease. In order to control the crowd and identify the disease, the city had to be closed down first to control it.

Eunuch Li knew that it was time for him to appear again, so he continued to speak, "Mother, you didn't see that scene. People in the city were making a fuss. Everyone wanted to go out and the streets were in a mess. Fortunately, Our emperor is here, otherwise, we don’t know how bad the situation would be.”

The poor are afraid of getting sick, and the wealthy are even more concerned about their lives.

After learning that the capital was infected with the disease on a large scale, the big families in the capital packed up Xinruan without hesitation and took the whole family to run out of the city.

This is fine in normal times. When the disease breaks out, how can we just let people run away.

If you escape from the city when you get sick, wouldn't it be more troublesome to take the disease elsewhere?

Therefore, the emperor ordered the city to be closed. After all, when the disease occurred in Changsu and Jiangsu Province before, diagnosis and treatment after the city was closed had a clear effect.

Unexpectedly, those people started making trouble regardless of it, chased and blocked the officers and soldiers, injured them, and caused a lot of trouble.

When there are many people, there are also many things to do, people's hearts are unstable, and the broken pieces are handed to the palace one after another.

How can we understand the real situation by just reading in black and white?

The emperor was worried and went to the city in person to confirm the situation before returning to the palace.

So, just like this, most of the day passed after this torment, and the emperor was tired until now.

Not to mention the emperor, he has only now had a chance to breathe.

Yu Wenchen glared in disgust, "You are really noisy."

Eunuch Li: "..."

I feel wronged, but I don’t know how to say it.

Qi Ranran heard that the matter was quite serious. Before she could ask any more questions, Yu Wenchen had already changed the subject, "Remember Lao Si, I will handle the outside matters. You rest first and don't think too much about other things."

"Okay, you should also pay attention to rest."

Yu Wenchen looked at Yu Wenxin who was sleeping. He had just taken two bites of the food that had been passed to him when something important came up again.

Before leaving, he shook Qi Ranran's hand and said, "You rest first. I'll come see you later."

Qi Ranran nodded, "Okay."

Seeing the tiredness between his brows and his eyes bloodshot, Qi Ranran knew that this was another tough battle to fight.

What politicians fear most is unrest below.

Especially in the capital city, under the emperor's feet, if things are not handled properly and the people's hearts are unstable, it will pose a threat to the imperial power.

After Yu Wenchen left, Qi Ranran asked, "Do you know what the symptoms of extrauterine disease are?"

Caiyue shook her head, "I heard a few words accidentally. I only heard that the condition is serious. The specific situation is unknown."

Nanny Song opened her mouth with words of comfort, "I believe that no matter what the condition is, the Emperor is capable of handling it."

"hope so."

I just don’t know how many people are suffering from illness this time.

On the other side, many imperial doctors were summoned in the Palace of Political Affairs. In addition to the imperial doctors, the doctors from the Jingzhong Medical House who first received the patients also selected a few representatives and recruited them into the palace to discuss the condition together.

Yu Wenchen: "My dear friends, what are the symptoms?"

A doctor on the lower guard who was the first to receive the patient spoke,

"Back to the emperor, this disease is really strange. The patient's symptoms range from swelling to ulceration, covered with blisters, and look like burns. As far as the symptoms are concerned, it is not a current epidemic, nor is it malaria.

But the disease was so severe that some frail patients only lasted three days from illness to death, and even strong men in their prime could not survive five days. "

This condition is simply more terrifying than epidemics and malaria.

In the face of current epidemics, there are still old ways to treat malaria, but this sudden outbreak of the disease really caught people off guard, and its onset was rapid and its fatality rate was extremely high. Many patients died before they could receive treatment.

Judging from the current situation, there are many diseases in Beijing. If they are not diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be unrest in Beijing in the near future.

"This disease is strange, and it is not transmitted through breathing. Burning mugwort leaves and atractylodes have little effect. There are so many patients in the city. In my opinion, we still need to find the source of the disease as soon as possible."

"If we talk about the source of the disease, the first person to get sick was Li Zhuang. But apart from that person, no one else in their village showed any signs of being infected. This is really strange."

From this point of view, this disease has several characteristics. After the patient becomes ill, the body will initially appear swollen, and then the swelling will spread throughout the body, causing fever and blisters. The patient will become ill and die within five days.

After several discussions, the imperial physician in the palace and the doctors outside the palace could not decide on a treatment prescription.

Yu Wenchen frowned, obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter, and ordered, "The situation is urgent. You must find a cure as soon as possible."

Such a serious illness may kill thousands of people in just one day.

**

It is said that good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone. Qi Ranran was worried when he learned that a disease broke out in Beijing, but he learned another bad news from Yu Wenxuan.

When Yu Wenxuan came to see Qi Ranran, her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Qi Ranran's breathing stopped for a long time, and he had a bad feeling, "How is it? Have you found the whereabouts of Yanyan?"

Yu Wenxuan shook his head while sobbing, and explained the situation intermittently with his breath choked.

Because of the mutual induction between Feng Ming and Feng Yanyan, they locked Feng Yanyan's position.

But when they arrived, it was at the bottom of the cliff.

They found the person, but what they saw was a body.

Because he fell from a high altitude on the cliff, the body that fell to the ground was in such a terrible condition that it was extremely difficult to identify his face.

Listening to Yu Wenxuan's sad words, Qi Ranran felt that her mind went blank and her ears were buzzing. She heard Yu Wenxuan's crying, but she could no longer hear what the other party said clearly. She only felt the pain in her throat. Suddenly there was a fishy-sweet smell, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then his body fell softly.

The moment she fell, she heard the screams of the people around her and saw their panicked faces.

But gradually she could hear nothing and see nothing.

On the other side, after Feng Ming buried the body at the bottom of the cliff, he was silent for a long time. He asked stubbornly, "Do you think my sister will die?"

Bian Zhouzi said nothing.

The young man suppressed the tears welling up in his eyes. He was extraordinarily determined and powerful. The hand that fell by his side was tightly clenched into a fist. His eyes were firm and his voice was stubborn, "I don't believe it. I don't believe that my sister will die in such an unknown way." , I’m going to look for her again, and I will definitely find my sister.”

Bian Zhouzi stood in front of him with a quick and agile step, "Young man, please don't be impulsive."

"What does this mean?" Feng Ming stared at Bian Zhouzi, his gaze as eager as a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, "Does the gentleman know something?"

Bian Zhouzi retracted his hand and put it behind his back, looking like it was none of his business, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything."

Feng Ming knelt straight on the ground, "Please tell me, sir."

With a "bang--", his knees made a sound as they hit the stone bricks.

Bian Zhouzi: "!!!"

He was so shocked that he took five steps back, almost giving him a wrinkle.

Bian Zhouzi was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time.

To say that these two siblings are really the same in heaven and earth.

Feng Yanyan was very scheming. How could this younger brother be so honest and kind-hearted after suffering so many years of inhumane torture?

He shouldn't think that he can bluff people by kneeling loudly.

Bian Zhouzi held his breath and closed his eyes, and finally gave in.

Okay, for the sake of how hard he knelt down, he would show mercy.

He helped the person up and said, "Get up quickly. If your sister finds out, I'm afraid she will chop me with a knife."

Who doesn't know that Feng Yanyan's most precious brother usually can't even make a joke.

If Feng Yanyan knew that her precious brother was kneeling down for her, she would think that Feng Yanyan would look like she wanted to kill someone.

Feng Ming stubbornly knelt on the ground and refused to get up despite Bian Zhouzi's support.

One insisted on supporting him, while the other insisted on kneeling. However, Feng Ming won in terms of strength.

Bian Zhouzi straightened up, pushed back his hair that fell to his shoulders, and said with a serious expression, "You are kneeling and refuse to get up. Do you still want to hear the truth?"

When Feng Ming heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Sir, please speak."
