Chapter 85 Failure
Chapter 85 Failure
When Xie Qiao and Fu Guogong came back, the sky was already dark, and a ray of light tore through the darkness, illuminating the world.
Mingxiu and Lanyu were waiting outside the city in a carriage.
Xie Qiao joined them, the imperial physician, and the soldiers escorting supplies had also arrived, waiting for the governor.
"Miss, who do you think the imperial court temporarily appointed as the governor? Don't be Shang Shu and Lord Hou!" Mingxiu was quite worried.
Xie Qiao frowned slightly, Marquis An Yuan couldn't speak now, so he was not a suitable candidate.
"Here we come!" Ming Xiu looked towards the gate of the city, dressed in a crimson official robe, and came on horseback.
Xie Qiao saw Yu Qinglan behind him at a glance, and walked forward with the governor.
"He is Xi Bochang." Lan Yu whispered in Xie Qiao's ear.
Ji Chang?
Ji Heng's second brother.
Xie Qiao's eyes flickered slightly, and Ji Heng's words went over in his heart. He and Wei Yun were colleagues and were relatively close.
"I'm here to see you off today." Yu Qinglan's brows and eyes were warm, and her clear face was glowing with jade luster under the golden glow.A jade talisman was hooked on her slender fingers, and she said elegantly and gently: "The heart-relief talisman I begged for you, you wear it on your body, it will keep you auspicious and safe." After finishing speaking, she tied it around her waist herself.
Xie Qiao caressed the jade talisman, which was made of firm and moist white jade, and the words "He Ming Di Ri Chi" were engraved on the jade talisman.
"Thank you, brother." Xie Qiao accepted his wish.
"I'll take you here." On Yu Qinglan's elegant face, with a faint smile, she took a step back, and said softly, "This trip, take care."
Xie Qiao nodded and stepped into the carriage.
The governor has arrived, and the team set off slowly.
Yu Qinglan respectfully said to Xi Bochang: "I hope uncle will take care of you all the way."
Xi Bochang is more than middle-aged, with a beautiful beard on his chin, and his appearance is dignified, somewhat similar to Ji Heng, but his quiet eyes are shining with a sharp light.
"Your Majesty is too worried. The Emperor has asked me to take good care of Miss Rong. The safety of the people of Nanyin depends entirely on her." Xi Bochang glanced at the sky, Xie Qiao's carriage had already traveled several miles, and he swung his whip and said: " My son, please stay."
All the way south, Xi Bochang did what he said and took good care of Xie Qiao.
"Let's stay at the inn for the time being tonight, and we will be able to arrive at Nanyin tomorrow at noon." Xi Bochang arranged Xie Qiao in a good room and looked Xie Qiao up and down. Go back to Fuchu.But Yu Qinglan's attitude is probably difficult!
Get along together, understand Xie Qiao's temper to some extent.He seems easy-going and talkative, but he has his own bottom line principles.He has a tough attitude and has his own opinions, which is not easy to handle.
"Okay, please trouble uncle." Xie Qiao sent Xi Bochang away, and fell down on the couch wearily.I have been on the road for four or five days, but I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep, and my whole body is sore.
Mingxiu massaged Xie Qiao's back and said: "Travel day and night, tomorrow will finally arrive." His eyes were dim, the closer he was to Nanyin, the more refugees there were, and he didn't know what Nanyin was like: "The king of the county has been here for several days, I don't know How is the governance? I’m afraid it won’t be effective, otherwise why are there so many refugees?”
"I'll know tomorrow." Xie Qiao said in a daze, drowsy.
Ming Xiu put on a robe for her, and quietly withdrew.
After an unknown amount of time, the door was slowly pushed open, and a tall and straight figure walked in.
Xie Qiao lay on the bed, closing his eyes wearily.It seemed that the night wind was a bit cold. At this moment, she was wrapped in her outer robe, and touched it with her hands on her chest, but she didn't touch the bedding, but the outer robe on her body slipped off.She has lost a lot of weight due to the exhaustion of these days.There was a little paleness on the ruddy face, reflecting the faint black and blue eyes, making him look extraordinarily tired and haggard.
As if sensing someone, Xie Qiao slowly opened his eyelashes, perhaps because he was still awake, a thin layer of haze covered those clear eyes.Seeing the people in the room, he didn't wake up and came to his senses, pulled the quilt and rolled over to sleep.Suddenly, his back was stiff, and he slowly raised his head, revealing his black and clear eyes, staring at Qin Mou, and suddenly lost his sleepiness: "It's really you!"
Just now he was drowsy, only saw a vague black shadow, thought he was in a dream.Suddenly, I realized something was wrong.
"Why did you come here?" Xie Qiao frowned, it would take several hours to get to Nanyin from the post station even by riding a fast horse.
come to see you-
When it came to the mouth, it became: "Business."
Qin Mo sat on the chair, the silvery moonlight poured down on him, his narrow and sharp eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, the eyelids were stretched due to fatigue, his eyes lost their spirits, and the black brocade robe was stained with heavy dust, it was obvious The dust rushes over.
Xie Qiao frowned, why didn't she sleep in the middle of the night and broke into her room?
Qin Mo tiredly raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes, the drowsiness faded away, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?"
Xie Qiao stared, she should be asking this question, right?
"There is no one in the imperial court? Send you, a woman, to meddle in the men's affairs. You haven't arrived in Nanyin yet, you go back to Beijing, don't come back and stay here and wait for me to go back together." Qin Mo's face was stern, and his eyebrows were frowned. Hearing this The damned woman didn't stay in the capital peacefully, she came here to stir up trouble, and she became angry, didn't she know it was dangerous here?
Lan Xing, who stayed outside the door, couldn't help howling in his heart when he heard the master's words slammed down coldly.
Hearing the news that Xie Qiao came here, he left his busy work and rushed to block people.
He clearly cared about her, but when he said it, he choked someone to death!
what happened to the woman?
Xie Qiao sneered: "You are a man, you cure the plague?"
Roll up the quilt, turn your back outward, and sleep!
Qin Mo choked, and stared at her with staring eyes. This woman just doesn't appreciate it, but she doesn't know what is good and what is wrong!
Anger leaked from the black eyes, and he turned to leave, regardless of her life or death.He paused at the door, quickly turned back to the bed, and lay down beside her.
The bed shook slightly, and there was a person lying beside him.Xie Qiao stretched out his legs and kicked Qin Mo: "Get down!"
Qin Mo raised his long legs and clamped Xie Qiao's legs firmly between his legs.Touching her angry, flushed cheeks, her gaze changed slightly.Pursing her lips, she stretched out her hand to press her head on the pillow, and pulled the quilt over the two of them: "Sleep."
"You don't know whether a man and a woman are close or not?" Xie Qiao pushed and pushed him like Mount Tai, without moving a muscle.Unbearable, he stretched out his hand to pinch his waist, gritted his teeth and said, "Get out!"
Without raising her eyelids, Qin Mo said in a hoarse voice, "Don't make noise, I haven't closed my eyes for days and nights."
Xie Qiao was stunned, pulled out his foot, and said coldly, "Go to the couch."
Qin Mo grabbed her hand, facing her sideways, a strange gleam flashed in his eyes, his voice was hoarse and mellow, revealing a hint of danger: "If you try again, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything to you." Somewhat fiery, it moved down and landed on her fair and delicate neck, and her Adam's apple rolled slightly.
Xie Qiao's body froze and he didn't dare to move.
The corners of Qin Mo's mouth turned up, as if he was pleased with her awareness of current affairs.Seeing her staring eyes, he brushed away the black hair sticking to the corner of her mouth with one hand, and leaned closer to her.
Xie Qiao's eyes trembled slightly, he held his breath and leaned back, but his head rested on the pillow, there was no way to retreat.His warm breath sprayed on her cheeks, making it itchy.
Qin Mo's dark eyes were deep and dark, she lowered her head slowly, her thin lips almost touched her red lips.
As he approached, Xie Qiao's heart beat like thunder, and he turned his head to avoid it.
Qin Mo laughed lightly, with a faint tiredness in the corners of his eyes and brows, his eyes fell on the hands held by the two of them, the palms were so delicate and soft that he didn't want to let go.
Fingers intertwined.
Xie Qiao twisted and struggled with his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Release!"
Qin Mou looked at her quietly, let go of her hand, Xie Qiao hurriedly backed away, the movement was too big, his cheek brushed against his thin lips, his heart sank, he saw his tongue licking his lips, and smiled silently , revealing a trace of evil charm, like the other shore flower blooming in the cold night, treacherous and coquettish.
The room was silent.
The night wind blew in, blowing the curtains of the bed and making a rubbing sound.
Xie Qiao's back was pressed against the wall, and the cold wall made her calm down gradually.She glanced at him, and saw him lying back with his eyes slightly closed, turning his head away: "What exactly do you want?"
"Huh?" Qin Mo replied casually.
Xie Qiao was startled, and looked back hesitantly. Qin Mo had already fallen into a deep sleep, breathing steadily and evenly.
Xie Qiao gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about it.To calm down the rising anger in his heart, he kicked him hard, got up and went to sleep on the couch next to him.
In the darkness, wrapped in a robe, Xie Qiao opened his eyes without any sleepiness.The room was quiet, and the angry heart gradually calmed down.Resting his head on the back of his hands, his eyes fell on Qin Mo's body, and he suddenly remembered what Lan Yang said.
He couldn't help pursing his lips tightly, without a military adviser by his side, he showed his true form.
However, he has always been proud and conceited, with no dust in his eyes, and it is not easy to put down his body to ask Lan Yang how to please women.
What's more, Lan Yang's temperament will definitely make fun of him.
And he still obeyed Lan Yang's instructions.
In a heart as calm as water, it seemed as if a mouthful of fine pebbles had been thrown into it, swaying with slight ripples.
Qin Mo, who was sleeping soundly, didn't seem to notice Xie Qiao's scrutinizing gaze, and turned over to face outward.His appearance is inherently handsome and extraordinary, his eyes are sharp and his face is stern in ordinary times, making him unstoppable.In his sleeping face, his brows and eyes are peaceful, and his face is stretched out, looking pure and elegant, especially docile.
Xie Qiao couldn't help but stare blankly, he was rarely seen so peaceful.Came back to his senses, remembered his actions just now, shook his head, closed his eyes and went to sleep, not noticing that the corners of Qin Mo's mouth rose slightly.
Dawn broke in the morning sky, and the sun slowly streamed in through the slightly open windows.
Xie Qiao slowly opened his eyes, the sky was already bright.Sitting up with her hands propped up, she was taken aback for a moment, she had already been lying on the bed at some point, didn't she sleep on the couch last night?
Or, was everything just a dream last night?
Will it be a dream?
So real!
"Miss, are you awake?" Mingxiu came in with water, and looked at Xie Qiao with a hint of ambiguity in his strange eyes.
Xie Qiao frowned, and then heard Mingxiu approaching her mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "Miss, how could you leave the county king in the house yesterday? Fortunately, it was a servant who came in and caught him going out. Your reputation will be ruined." After a pause, a sweet smile appeared on his face: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the county king racked his brains to marry you into the mansion!"
Xie Qiao cast a sideways glance at her helplessly, washed up and said, "I haven't written the horoscope yet."
"Miss, I don't know what you are worried about. Judging from the current situation, the county king is probably the most suitable person for you. Although the second lady's nephew is innocent, if you marry him, can he protect you? "Mingxiu saw Qin Mo's change bit by bit, although the effect was minimal, but he was willing to change for the young lady, at least it proved that he valued it in his heart.If you are valued by your husband and son-in-law, you will definitely not be wronged in the future: "The young lady knows better than the servants what the king of the county is like. He can do this, which shows that he has you in his heart. No matter how many rules and regulations there are, it can't compare to this." .”
Xie Qiao remained silent.
Knowing that she listened to it, Ming Xiu continued to say: "It's okay to be overbearing, no one will bully you in the future."
Xie Qiao looked at Ming Xiu thoughtfully, gathered the hem of his skirt, nodded and said: "Since the king of the county is so good, how about I give Xiu'er to him?" There was a hint of coldness in his calm tone.
"Miss, the slave has overstepped!" Ming Xiu's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground.
"This is not an example!" Xie Qiao said coldly.
"Yes." Ming Xiu opened his mouth, seeing Xie Qiao's expressionless face, he hesitated to speak.
After washing up, Xie Qiao had a meal with the imperial physicians.Just now when he walked into the side hall, he saw Qin Mo and Xi Bochang sitting together.
"Miss Rong, King Xie learned that we came to support him, so he came to tell us about the situation in Nanyin. Come and understand him." Xi Bochang smiled and beckoned Xie Qiao to sit with him.
Xie Qiao couldn't refuse politely, and only the seat next to Qin Mo remained at the square table.
"Miss Rong doesn't want to know about Nanyin's situation and make plans?" Qin Mou's voice was cool, as if he had no other thoughts, just talking about business affairs!
Xie Qiao could only sit beside him.
Qin Mo pushed a piece of sour jujube cake in front of her, Xie Qiao was startled, and looked up, but Qin Mo didn't even look at her, as if it was just a casual move.He said to Xi Bochang: "People with high fevers are now quarantined. When I came, the Nanyin county magistrate only quarantined them with serious illnesses, and didn't send them food. They starved to death."
"It's inhumane!" Xi Bochang slapped the table angrily, his face flushed with anger, "Such people are in vain as parents' officials! Dismissal is considered a light punishment!"
Qin Mo's face was cold, her thin lips were pursed into a line, revealing a sharp arc: "Before I came, the plague started to break out, and the county magistrate ordered people to bury the patients alive. Only when a large-scale outbreak broke out, did quarantine measures be taken."
Xi Bochang looked gloomy, looked at Xie Qiao and said, "We're leaving immediately. On the way, you and King Xie will discuss the countermeasures."
Qin Mo glanced at the untouched breakfast in front of her, and said wearily, "There's no rush. I came all night, so I'll rest for a while."
Xi Bochang pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Xie Qiao's heart moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at him.I saw Qin Mo's slender fingers gently stroking her thin lips, with cold eyes, she put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and led Mingxiu back to the carriage.
Qin Mou's dark eyes gradually became darker: "Xi Bochang, let's go." He picked up the jujube cake and got on the carriage.
Xie Qiao closed his eyes and glanced at him lazily.
Qin Mo didn't care, and put the cake in front of her: "Fill your stomach, and you won't have the time to drink water in Nanyin."
Xie Qiao's eyelashes trembled, and he heard him say again: "Why, do you want to feed it?"
Xie Qiao glared at him fiercely, and ate two pieces of pastries not to upset his stomach.
The carriage galloped, the smoke and dust billowed, and the soldiers escorted the supplies followed closely behind.
Xie Qiao lifted the curtain, and the slightly cool breeze brushed her face, brushing over her tied bun, and a strand of it fell on her neck.Extreme black and dazzling white are extremely attractive under the radiance of the two.
Qin Mo's eyes fell on her snow-white neck, and his fingers stroked back and forth the smooth silk on the carriage, gradually fascinated.
Xie Qiao didn't notice it, she stretched out her hand to feel the breeze passing through her fingers, white clouds, high mountains, and Honghu Lake in the distance flashed before her eyes, her heart was wide open, and she completely forgot about the other person in the carriage.
Gradually approaching Nanyin, the refugees squatted or lay down on the official road.Some refugees even saw the carriage wanting to rush up, and saw the casual soldiers behind, slowly retreating to the side of the road, staring at the carts of grain delivered.
Qin Suu took out a bundle from nowhere and threw it on Xie Qiao's body.
Xie Qiao was startled, opened the bag, and inside was a green cloth robe worn by a man, looking at him in confusion.
Qin Mo had already thrown the curtain and got out of the car.
Sapphire explained: "There are too many refugees here, and they have done a lot of extreme things in order to fight for food. You are a woman who is easy to become the target of their competition, so you can change into a man's clothes and act."
Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows, picking on the weak.
Change into the robe, which just fits.Lan Yu dressed up for Xie Qiao, and instantly became a frail scholar.
"Even though he is a man, he is still a frail scholar with no power to restrain himself. What is the difference between him and a woman?" Xie Qiao frowned, not as pleasing to the eye as a woman dressed in.
Lan Yu straightened her face, and said in a deep voice, "Refugees don't touch books."
Xie Qiao's heart was shaken, and he felt uncomfortable for a while.
……
Walking on the deserted streets, refugees and dead bodies can be seen everywhere.
"All those with good families have already moved away, and those who stayed were the people who were not rich. Those who were infected by the plague have been locked up in a deserted house outside the city for isolation. These dead people are probably hungry. Die." Lan Yu introduced the situation here to Xie Qiao while walking.
Xie Qiao paused and looked towards a house where several people were digging tree roots to satisfy their hunger.
"There is already money here but we can't buy food, and we only rely on porridge outside the city to survive every day." Lan Yu seemed to be touched, and mist appeared in her indifferent eyes, remembering that her hometown was also submerged by floods, Both her parents died in the disaster, and she came out begging along with the refugees, and after many twists and turns, she was chosen by the master.
Xie Qiao continued on his way, when he heard the noise of fighting coming from the alley, he walked over to have a look.Then I saw several refugees surrounding a child, aiming at a piece of cake the size of a palm in his hand.
"Sapphire..."
Before Xie Qiao could say anything, Lan Yu refused: "Miss, if you give them food, instead of helping them, you will bring trouble on yourself. If you want to help them, you might as well discuss with the county king to increase the share of porridge."
Xie Qiao nodded.
Along the way, what she saw and heard made her feel heavy.
She seemed to see a second Qinghe Village.
But the villagers of Qinghe Village were luckier than them, and no plague broke out, which aggravated the disaster.
Back in the temporary camp, Xie Qiao couldn't wait to find Qin Mo.Qin Mo was not in the construction, asked the guards, and only then learned that he was going to inspect the embankment.
Xie Qiao hurried over and paused.I saw Qin Mo tucking the hem of his robe into his belt, rolled up his trousers, and standing in the muddy river to carry mud and sand with others.
The sweat on his cheeks glistened in the sunlight.
Every time they meet, she sees a different side of him.
In her impression, he was always aloof, and the dirty and tiring work must have nothing to do with him.But right now, he did it himself, which changed her opinion of him slightly.
As if aware of her gaze, Qin Mo looked sideways and instructed them to move the last few bags of sand and walked towards Xieqiao.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Mo was sweating profusely, with a foul smell on his body.He raised his hand to wipe away the sweat that fell from the corners of his eyes, his sleeves were wet, and the sand was rubbed on his face.
Xie Qiao had never seen him who was so careless. The dirt on his face did not make him look embarrassed, but instead exuded an attractive and unique charm.
"Wipe your face." Xie Qiao pulled out a snow-white juan handkerchief and handed it to him.
A light flashed in Qin Mo's dark eyes, she looked at her quietly, bent down, and brought her face close to her eyes.
Xie Qiao took a step back, pursed his lips, and looked at him displeased.
Qin Mo spread his hands, his big palms with well-defined joints were dirty, and there was a slight smile in his deep pupils: "I'm sorry."
Xie Qiao looked into his eyes, her lacquered pupils reflected her figure, as if at this moment, she was the only one in his eyes.
His heart trembled slightly, Xie Qiao dodged his eyes, avoiding his burning eyes, and brushed at random: "I want to see the patient."
"No hurry, I'll change clothes." Qin Mo straightened up, smelled the smell on his body, and frowned, as if it was unbearable.Suddenly, his gaze fell on the jade talisman around her waist, gradually darkening and sharpening.
After Qin Mo took a bath and changed clothes, Xi Bochang came with several imperial physicians, and they went to the abandoned house together.
In the house with three entrances and two exits, dozens of people were locked up.
The severity of the disease varies, severe high cyanosis, and the skin is black and purple.Some lay prone with nausea and vomiting, skin bruises and bleeding.
Xie Qiao took out a square scarf, covered his mouth and nose, and went in to check their situation.There was no reaction at all, and the eyes were lifeless, as if they were waiting to die.
After Xie Qiao came out, he threw away the special gloves on his hands.
Qin Mo took out a water bag to clean her hands: "How?"
Xi Bochang and the imperial physician all looked at Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao looked solemn, and said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about it when we go back." After a pause, he looked at Qin Mou and said, "Give them plenty of water." This is conducive to the excretion of toxins.
"After the current quarantine, people are still infected one after another. How can we stop them from being infected?" Xi Bochang slowed down and walked in parallel with Xie Qiao. "If there is no effective control, I am afraid that the city will be burned as the emperor said."
Xie Qiao's heart was awe-inspiring, and his face was covered with frost.Burn the city?Are all the people inside burned to death inside?
savage!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.If the final result is to burn the city, will they all be abandoned?
Thinking of this, Xie Qiao's limbs felt cold and he dared not slack off. He said in a cold voice, "The first thing to do is to exterminate the rats first, and redistribute clothes to the people who have not yet been infected. Sprinkle insecticide on them to cut off the source of infectious diseases." Xie Qiao With a heavy heart, there are no antimicrobials and it is highly contagious and there are no vaccinations.Sighing, he said wearily: "Sterilize everywhere, at least twice a day. As for the others... I have no other choice at the moment."
Xi Bochang nodded.
"Don't come into contact with patients rashly, and take protective measures." After Xie Qiao told the imperial physician, he said to Qin Mo: "There is no special situation, so don't bother me." Back in the tent, he ordered Mingxiu to cook a bowl for her After drinking the medicine, he dug out the letter left by the master and studied it.

capital city
After Yu Qinglan learned of the emperor's decision, anger flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "He is a tyrant!"
If he knew that anyone who went there would become an abandoned child, even if he resisted the order, he would definitely not let her go to Nanyin!
Prince Rong sighed: "This is also a helpless move. If it can be cured, the emperor will not make such a decision. What if we don't burn the city and infect more people?" He patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: " Lan'er, we must focus on the overall situation."
"Father, Qin Mo, he..." Yu Qinglan finally understood why the Nanyin flood was under the management of the crown prince, why Qin Mo went later, I am afraid that the Nanyin epidemic has already reached the heavens!
Prince Rong shook his head.
Yu Qinglan got up suddenly, Prince Rong scolded: "If you go to Nanyin, I'm afraid it will make him more satisfied!"
Yu Qinglan's figure was frozen.
"Father is aware of your worries, but if the descendants of Shennong go, nothing will happen." Prince Rong comforted: "It may not be a good thing for you to stay in the capital, at least you can pass on the wind direction of the capital to Qin Mo, and he will be able to Save the day. If even you go to Nanyin, who can plan for him if there is an eventuality?"
Yu Qinglan thought of Xie Qiao's firm tone of asking him to stay in the capital, she might have expected to change, but she miscalculated that the emperor's heart is so cruel!
His eyes are full of strong sarcasm, he can even take care of his own brothers and sisters, what else can't he do?
Yu Qinglan clenched her hand hanging by her side into a fist.
Prince Rong's eyes changed, and he said in a deep voice: "You have been getting close to the girl of the Rong family recently, could it be that you are worried about her?"
"No!" Yu Qinglan denied, stroking the dark lines on the cloud sleeves with her fair and slender fingers, half-lifting her eyelids, and looked at Prince Rong coldly: "I just asked her some questions, after all, she is Li's daughter, Involved with my aunt."
"What's the matter?" Prince Rong was startled, and lowered his head, making it hard to see the expression in his eyes.
"What does my father think she knows? I left Beijing since I was a child, and there are no old people around me. I was thinking too much." Yu Qinglan's clear face was cold, and her rippling eyes were full of coldness color.
"Really?" Prince Rong's gloomy eyes fell on Yu Qinglan's body, as if he wanted to see the clue from his face.
"What does the father think?" Yu Qinglan looked at Prince Rong with a half-smile, mocking lightly.
Prince Rong snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Yu Qinglan looked at the figure of Prince Rong, her eyes were frozen, cold and piercing.

Nanyin
Except for Xie Qiao going to the abandoned house to check the situation every day, shutting himself in the camp to study prescriptions, or communicating with the imperial physician, he didn't see anyone else.
Qin Mo came in with the food: "Take a break, and think of a way after eating."
Xie Qiao scribbled hard, wrote down the prescription, read the prescription silently, and said without raising his head: "Leave it for now, I will take it later."
Suddenly, the letter in his hand was taken away.
Xie Qiao got up to grab the book, but Qin Mo had already thrown the book aside: "Eating won't take up much of your time." Without any explanation, he put the rice bowl in her hands: "The situation has gradually eased, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself . If you press too hard, you may even block your train of thought.”
Xie Qiao was stunned, and handed the prescription he wrote down just now to Qin Mo: "Apply medicine at the gate of the city, each person has a bowl of prevention." Although not completely immune, at least it is better than nothing.
"En." Qin Mo gave the prescription to Lanxing, and said in a slow tone: "The method you explained will be implemented, and the number of people infected will decrease. As long as no one is infected, the problem will be resolved soon."
Xie Qiao sneered, "Wait until they all die?"
Qin Mou's pupils tightened, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and a little bit of anger condensed in her eyes.
Xie Qiao ate a few mouthfuls and lost his appetite.
Qin Mo suppressed his anger, and felt powerless towards her: "Today, another person's hands and feet turned black, as if poisoned. Is the plague also a kind of poison?"
Poisoning...poison?
Suddenly, Xie Qiao's mind flashed the detoxification and blood circulation soup in "The Plague Compilation".A light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to write down the prescription: forsythia three qian, Bupleurum two qian, kudzu root two qian, raw land five qian, angelica half, red peony three qian, peach kernel eight qian, safflower five qian, Sichuan Park one coin, licorice two coins.
"Quickly, quickly, prepare all these medicines and give it to a mildly ill patient. It will be effective if you try it." Xie Qiao stuffed the prescription to Qin Mo, and knocked on her brain. She almost gave the prescription to Qin Mo. forget.I have been studying the cooked prescriptions, but there are a few medicines in it that are not right.
If Qin Mou hadn't said that casually, she would have really gone into a dead end!
Qin Suan saw that she was so excited, her black eyes were narrowed, and she immediately showed the prescription to several imperial physicians for review.
"Wonderful!" The imperial hospital envoy praised again and again, and looked at Xie Qiao with complicated eyes. He had struggled with Xie Qiao because of Qin Zhi's matter in the Anyuan Hou Mansion that day. Embarrassed: "This party can give it a try."
The other imperial physicians nodded again and again.
Xie Qiao decocted the medicine himself, and the group went to the abandoned house.
Xie Qiao picked out a mildly ill patient, gave him medicine, and lived on the other side for observation.
"Let's see if his condition improves tomorrow." Xie Qiao said to everyone.
Xi Bochang also didn't fall asleep for several days and nights because of this matter. Now that he has developed a prescription, he is naturally happy: "Drink a cup tonight."
Everyone understands, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to sleep tonight.
Xie Qiao sat aside, holding a half-old medical book, watching them drink with a smile on his lips.
Sitting next to her, Qin Mo asked, "If the prescription can cure the plague, will you go with them?" Without waiting for her answer, he seemed to have no intention of saying, "The scenery to the north of Nanyin is good. There is a Taohuawu there. , I buried a jar of wine there, if you have free time, you can go together.”
Xie Qiao shook his head and said, "I promised my brother to go back earlier, he has already prepared a jug of good wine for me."
Qin Mou stared at her quietly, not missing when she was stroking the jade talisman on her waist, her brows and eyes were soft and smiling, and a dark light flashed in her black eyes: "It's okay, I'll go later when I have time."
Xie Qiao smiled, but he didn't agree.
Qin Suan seemed to be infected by her, and he also smiled with his lips curled up, without any annoyance in his expression, he was extremely calm: "Go back to Beijing with me?" But he didn't mention Taohuawu again.
Xie Qiao bowed his head and remained silent.
Qin Mo suddenly took something out of his sleeve, pulled off the golden hairpin from her head, and put the jade hairpin in his hand on her head.
From the basin in front of him, Xie Qiao looked at the mutton hosta on his head, carved into a budding lotus, lifelike, exuding a lustrous luster under the candlelight, as if it was about to bloom under the light and shadow.
"I practiced this. It's passable. You wear it." Qin Mou's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked away uncomfortably.
Xie Qiao listened to his understatement, but Yuhan's meticulous craftsmanship seemed to expose his lies.Swinging his sleeves lightly, he pulled off the jade hairpin on his head, unwilling to accept his intention: "You will not be rewarded for nothing..."
Qin Mo's complexion suddenly became gloomy, and the tall figure approached instantly, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you want you to wear it, you will wear it, how can there be so much nonsense!"
Wearing Yu Qinglan on your body every day, how can you not care about merit?
"Jun Wang..." Xie Qiao pursed her lips tightly, the mutton fat jade hairpin glowed in her hand, the high-grade jade showed that he had put his thought into it.
Qin Mo suddenly took off the jade talisman around her waist, put it in the palm of her hand and said, "Give this to me, even."
"No!" Xie Qiao stretched out his hand to snatch it away, but Qin Suo turned sideways, and Xie Qiao was unstable and fell to the ground.
Qin Mo's complexion changed slightly, and he stretched out his long arms, pulling her into his arms.With an empty palm, the jade talisman had already fallen into Xie Qiao's hands.
Xie Qiao stretched out his hand and pushed it out of his arms, straightened his clothes and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to the tent to have a rest first." Brushing his hand over the table, he left lightly, leaving Yuhan lying on the table.
Qin Mo was furious, picked up the jade hairpin and threw it outside.
With a flash of white light, the jade hairpin landed not far in front of Xie Qiao, torn apart.
Xie Qiao's footsteps stopped, her eyes went dark, the curtain of the tent behind her fell down, covering up the candlelight, and the silvery moonlight stretched her figure extremely long.
A moment later, a tall and straight figure came out of the tent, walking slowly, as if searching for something, until dawn, but found nothing.
Everyone washed up and went to the abandoned house after breakfast.
The patient's symptoms were relieved, and everyone's eyes flashed with joy, as if they saw hope.
"It's really effective. I don't know if it will be cured after taking it for a few days?" Xi Bochang was emotional.
Xie Qiao's calm eyes also had turmoil: "If it's all right, we'll be able to leave for Beijing in half a month." His eyes touched Qin Mo, but he looked away, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
For several days in a row, Xie Qiao decocted and fed the medicine by himself, and finally the effect was remarkable.
All his illnesses have disappeared, and he is already cured!
The news spread all over the city at once, and everyone jumped for joy. The people in the abandoned house were no longer dead and silent, and the desire to survive was ignited in their eyes!
Seeing Xie Qiao, they all knelt down and kowtowed: "Bodhisattva! You are a living Bodhisattva! Please save us! Save us..."
Xie Qiao said quickly: "I will do my best, everyone get up!"
Immediately, he ordered Mingxiu to give each of them a bowl of medicine.
Xie Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, the big rock finally fell down.These days, she has not had a good rest.Now, with nothing to do, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed.
"Miss! Miss!"
At this time, Mingxiu ran in in a panic, pushed Xie Qiao, and said anxiously: "Miss, wake up, something is wrong!"
Xie Qiao opened his eyes with difficulty, his head was dazed and his body was weak.He said in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?"
Mingxiu's face was pale, and her voice trembled: "Miss, how many of those who took the medicine died... died."
These words are like thunder on the ground——
Xie Qiao's complexion suddenly changed!
died?
How can it be?
Before curing a person, there was no problem with the prescription at all, so how could he die?
Putting on her clothes anxiously, she hurried to the abandoned house, Xi Bochang, Qin Yu and several imperial physicians had all arrived.
"What's going on?" Seeing Xie Qiao, Xi Bochang asked in a deep voice, frowning.
Some people were cured by taking medicine before, why did the person who took medicine die now?
Xie Qiao turned pale, shook her head, put on her special gloves and a face mask, and went in to check one by one.Mild patients have no problem, but have eased.The moderate and severe cases of illness are not optimistic!
She doesn't know what's wrong, there will be such a problem!
"The medicine won't work!" Xie Qiaotou was a little dizzy, sweating profusely.With a dry throat, he said, "I'm afraid this medicine is for mild patients. Others are useless."
Xi Bochang looked gloomy, and said with a glimmer of hope: "Dosage problem? If you increase the dosage..."
Xie Qiao shook his head and looked at several imperial physicians.
Tai Hospital envoy said: "My method is useless."
The other three looked at each other, and said to Xie Qiao: "Your prescription is not completely useless, at least it is effective for mild cases. We will separate them all, and lock people of different levels together. I believe you will be able to figure out a way Help other patients!"
Xie Qiao was dizzy and didn't have any thoughts.Maybe it's because he's been too busy these days and hasn't had a good rest. Now he relaxes and rests, and he feels uncomfortable.
"Let me think about it again—" Xie Qiao looked at the patient in the room, and the patient was no longer unspeakably excited to see her, but fearful!As if she was more terrifying than the plague, able to take their lives instantly!
Xie Qiao smiled wryly, afraid that the follow-up treatment would be more difficult.
They don't believe her anymore—
"Give me some more time." Xie Qiao shook her head. What she needs most now is to sleep and maintain her best condition.
Xi Bochang sighed softly: "I'm afraid it doesn't take much time. I received the imperial court's oral order yesterday, and it only has a month at most."
"How come..." Xie Qiao's heart sank, why didn't he listen to him?
Xi Bochang said bitterly: "I thought the medicine was effective and could cure the plague, so I didn't say it." At the end, he sighed heavily.
Xie Qiao's figure flickered, and his whole body was on the verge of falling.
"Miss—" Ming Xiu suddenly screamed, and Xie Qiao fell into darkness.
Qin Mo hugged her in his arms and strode to the camp.
"Prince doctor, show my lady quickly!" Mingxiu said anxiously.
The imperial doctor helped Xie Qiao's pulse, and suddenly, he stepped back quickly, and said in horror: "Miss Rong, she has a high fever!"
(End of this chapter)
When Xie Qiao and Fu Guogong came back, the sky was already dark, and a ray of light tore through the darkness, illuminating the world.
Mingxiu and Lanyu were waiting outside the city in a carriage.
Xie Qiao joined them, the imperial physician, and the soldiers escorting supplies had also arrived, waiting for the governor.
"Miss, who do you think the imperial court temporarily appointed as the governor? Don't be Shang Shu and Lord Hou!" Mingxiu was quite worried.
Xie Qiao frowned slightly, Marquis An Yuan couldn't speak now, so he was not a suitable candidate.
"Here we come!" Ming Xiu looked towards the gate of the city, dressed in a crimson official robe, and came on horseback.
Xie Qiao saw Yu Qinglan behind him at a glance, and walked forward with the governor.
"He is Xi Bochang." Lan Yu whispered in Xie Qiao's ear.
Ji Chang?
Ji Heng's second brother.
Xie Qiao's eyes flickered slightly, and Ji Heng's words went over in his heart. He and Wei Yun were colleagues and were relatively close.
"I'm here to see you off today." Yu Qinglan's brows and eyes were warm, and her clear face was glowing with jade luster under the golden glow.A jade talisman was hooked on her slender fingers, and she said elegantly and gently: "The heart-relief talisman I begged for you, you wear it on your body, it will keep you auspicious and safe." After finishing speaking, she tied it around her waist herself.
Xie Qiao caressed the jade talisman, which was made of firm and moist white jade, and the words "He Ming Di Ri Chi" were engraved on the jade talisman.
"Thank you, brother." Xie Qiao accepted his wish.
"I'll take you here." On Yu Qinglan's elegant face, with a faint smile, she took a step back, and said softly, "This trip, take care."
Xie Qiao nodded and stepped into the carriage.
The governor has arrived, and the team set off slowly.
Yu Qinglan respectfully said to Xi Bochang: "I hope uncle will take care of you all the way."
Xi Bochang is more than middle-aged, with a beautiful beard on his chin, and his appearance is dignified, somewhat similar to Ji Heng, but his quiet eyes are shining with a sharp light.
"Your Majesty is too worried. The Emperor has asked me to take good care of Miss Rong. The safety of the people of Nanyin depends entirely on her." Xi Bochang glanced at the sky, Xie Qiao's carriage had already traveled several miles, and he swung his whip and said: " My son, please stay."
All the way south, Xi Bochang did what he said and took good care of Xie Qiao.
"Let's stay at the inn for the time being tonight, and we will be able to arrive at Nanyin tomorrow at noon." Xi Bochang arranged Xie Qiao in a good room and looked Xie Qiao up and down. Go back to Fuchu.But Yu Qinglan's attitude is probably difficult!
Get along together, understand Xie Qiao's temper to some extent.He seems easy-going and talkative, but he has his own bottom line principles.He has a tough attitude and has his own opinions, which is not easy to handle.
"Okay, please trouble uncle." Xie Qiao sent Xi Bochang away, and fell down on the couch wearily.I have been on the road for four or five days, but I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep, and my whole body is sore.
Mingxiu massaged Xie Qiao's back and said: "Travel day and night, tomorrow will finally arrive." His eyes were dim, the closer he was to Nanyin, the more refugees there were, and he didn't know what Nanyin was like: "The king of the county has been here for several days, I don't know How is the governance? I’m afraid it won’t be effective, otherwise why are there so many refugees?”
"I'll know tomorrow." Xie Qiao said in a daze, drowsy.
Ming Xiu put on a robe for her, and quietly withdrew.
After an unknown amount of time, the door was slowly pushed open, and a tall and straight figure walked in.
Xie Qiao lay on the bed, closing his eyes wearily.It seemed that the night wind was a bit cold. At this moment, she was wrapped in her outer robe, and touched it with her hands on her chest, but she didn't touch the bedding, but the outer robe on her body slipped off.She has lost a lot of weight due to the exhaustion of these days.There was a little paleness on the ruddy face, reflecting the faint black and blue eyes, making him look extraordinarily tired and haggard.
As if sensing someone, Xie Qiao slowly opened his eyelashes, perhaps because he was still awake, a thin layer of haze covered those clear eyes.Seeing the people in the room, he didn't wake up and came to his senses, pulled the quilt and rolled over to sleep.Suddenly, his back was stiff, and he slowly raised his head, revealing his black and clear eyes, staring at Qin Mou, and suddenly lost his sleepiness: "It's really you!"
Just now he was drowsy, only saw a vague black shadow, thought he was in a dream.Suddenly, I realized something was wrong.
"Why did you come here?" Xie Qiao frowned, it would take several hours to get to Nanyin from the post station even by riding a fast horse.
come to see you-
When it came to the mouth, it became: "Business."
Qin Mo sat on the chair, the silvery moonlight poured down on him, his narrow and sharp eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, the eyelids were stretched due to fatigue, his eyes lost their spirits, and the black brocade robe was stained with heavy dust, it was obvious The dust rushes over.
Xie Qiao frowned, why didn't she sleep in the middle of the night and broke into her room?
Qin Mo tiredly raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes, the drowsiness faded away, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?"
Xie Qiao stared, she should be asking this question, right?
"There is no one in the imperial court? Send you, a woman, to meddle in the men's affairs. You haven't arrived in Nanyin yet, you go back to Beijing, don't come back and stay here and wait for me to go back together." Qin Mo's face was stern, and his eyebrows were frowned. Hearing this The damned woman didn't stay in the capital peacefully, she came here to stir up trouble, and she became angry, didn't she know it was dangerous here?
Lan Xing, who stayed outside the door, couldn't help howling in his heart when he heard the master's words slammed down coldly.
Hearing the news that Xie Qiao came here, he left his busy work and rushed to block people.
He clearly cared about her, but when he said it, he choked someone to death!
what happened to the woman?
Xie Qiao sneered: "You are a man, you cure the plague?"
Roll up the quilt, turn your back outward, and sleep!
Qin Mo choked, and stared at her with staring eyes. This woman just doesn't appreciate it, but she doesn't know what is good and what is wrong!
Anger leaked from the black eyes, and he turned to leave, regardless of her life or death.He paused at the door, quickly turned back to the bed, and lay down beside her.
The bed shook slightly, and there was a person lying beside him.Xie Qiao stretched out his legs and kicked Qin Mo: "Get down!"
Qin Mo raised his long legs and clamped Xie Qiao's legs firmly between his legs.Touching her angry, flushed cheeks, her gaze changed slightly.Pursing her lips, she stretched out her hand to press her head on the pillow, and pulled the quilt over the two of them: "Sleep."
"You don't know whether a man and a woman are close or not?" Xie Qiao pushed and pushed him like Mount Tai, without moving a muscle.Unbearable, he stretched out his hand to pinch his waist, gritted his teeth and said, "Get out!"
Without raising her eyelids, Qin Mo said in a hoarse voice, "Don't make noise, I haven't closed my eyes for days and nights."
Xie Qiao was stunned, pulled out his foot, and said coldly, "Go to the couch."
Qin Mo grabbed her hand, facing her sideways, a strange gleam flashed in his eyes, his voice was hoarse and mellow, revealing a hint of danger: "If you try again, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything to you." Somewhat fiery, it moved down and landed on her fair and delicate neck, and her Adam's apple rolled slightly.
Xie Qiao's body froze and he didn't dare to move.
The corners of Qin Mo's mouth turned up, as if he was pleased with her awareness of current affairs.Seeing her staring eyes, he brushed away the black hair sticking to the corner of her mouth with one hand, and leaned closer to her.
Xie Qiao's eyes trembled slightly, he held his breath and leaned back, but his head rested on the pillow, there was no way to retreat.His warm breath sprayed on her cheeks, making it itchy.
Qin Mo's dark eyes were deep and dark, she lowered her head slowly, her thin lips almost touched her red lips.
As he approached, Xie Qiao's heart beat like thunder, and he turned his head to avoid it.
Qin Mo laughed lightly, with a faint tiredness in the corners of his eyes and brows, his eyes fell on the hands held by the two of them, the palms were so delicate and soft that he didn't want to let go.
Fingers intertwined.
Xie Qiao twisted and struggled with his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Release!"
Qin Mou looked at her quietly, let go of her hand, Xie Qiao hurriedly backed away, the movement was too big, his cheek brushed against his thin lips, his heart sank, he saw his tongue licking his lips, and smiled silently , revealing a trace of evil charm, like the other shore flower blooming in the cold night, treacherous and coquettish.
The room was silent.
The night wind blew in, blowing the curtains of the bed and making a rubbing sound.
Xie Qiao's back was pressed against the wall, and the cold wall made her calm down gradually.She glanced at him, and saw him lying back with his eyes slightly closed, turning his head away: "What exactly do you want?"
"Huh?" Qin Mo replied casually.
Xie Qiao was startled, and looked back hesitantly. Qin Mo had already fallen into a deep sleep, breathing steadily and evenly.
Xie Qiao gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about it.To calm down the rising anger in his heart, he kicked him hard, got up and went to sleep on the couch next to him.
In the darkness, wrapped in a robe, Xie Qiao opened his eyes without any sleepiness.The room was quiet, and the angry heart gradually calmed down.Resting his head on the back of his hands, his eyes fell on Qin Mo's body, and he suddenly remembered what Lan Yang said.
He couldn't help pursing his lips tightly, without a military adviser by his side, he showed his true form.
However, he has always been proud and conceited, with no dust in his eyes, and it is not easy to put down his body to ask Lan Yang how to please women.
What's more, Lan Yang's temperament will definitely make fun of him.
And he still obeyed Lan Yang's instructions.
In a heart as calm as water, it seemed as if a mouthful of fine pebbles had been thrown into it, swaying with slight ripples.
Qin Mo, who was sleeping soundly, didn't seem to notice Xie Qiao's scrutinizing gaze, and turned over to face outward.His appearance is inherently handsome and extraordinary, his eyes are sharp and his face is stern in ordinary times, making him unstoppable.In his sleeping face, his brows and eyes are peaceful, and his face is stretched out, looking pure and elegant, especially docile.
Xie Qiao couldn't help but stare blankly, he was rarely seen so peaceful.Came back to his senses, remembered his actions just now, shook his head, closed his eyes and went to sleep, not noticing that the corners of Qin Mo's mouth rose slightly.
Dawn broke in the morning sky, and the sun slowly streamed in through the slightly open windows.
Xie Qiao slowly opened his eyes, the sky was already bright.Sitting up with her hands propped up, she was taken aback for a moment, she had already been lying on the bed at some point, didn't she sleep on the couch last night?
Or, was everything just a dream last night?
Will it be a dream?
So real!
"Miss, are you awake?" Mingxiu came in with water, and looked at Xie Qiao with a hint of ambiguity in his strange eyes.
Xie Qiao frowned, and then heard Mingxiu approaching her mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "Miss, how could you leave the county king in the house yesterday? Fortunately, it was a servant who came in and caught him going out. Your reputation will be ruined." After a pause, a sweet smile appeared on his face: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the county king racked his brains to marry you into the mansion!"
Xie Qiao cast a sideways glance at her helplessly, washed up and said, "I haven't written the horoscope yet."
"Miss, I don't know what you are worried about. Judging from the current situation, the county king is probably the most suitable person for you. Although the second lady's nephew is innocent, if you marry him, can he protect you? "Mingxiu saw Qin Mo's change bit by bit, although the effect was minimal, but he was willing to change for the young lady, at least it proved that he valued it in his heart.If you are valued by your husband and son-in-law, you will definitely not be wronged in the future: "The young lady knows better than the servants what the king of the county is like. He can do this, which shows that he has you in his heart. No matter how many rules and regulations there are, it can't compare to this." .”
Xie Qiao remained silent.
Knowing that she listened to it, Ming Xiu continued to say: "It's okay to be overbearing, no one will bully you in the future."
Xie Qiao looked at Ming Xiu thoughtfully, gathered the hem of his skirt, nodded and said: "Since the king of the county is so good, how about I give Xiu'er to him?" There was a hint of coldness in his calm tone.
"Miss, the slave has overstepped!" Ming Xiu's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground.
"This is not an example!" Xie Qiao said coldly.
"Yes." Ming Xiu opened his mouth, seeing Xie Qiao's expressionless face, he hesitated to speak.
After washing up, Xie Qiao had a meal with the imperial physicians.Just now when he walked into the side hall, he saw Qin Mo and Xi Bochang sitting together.
"Miss Rong, King Xie learned that we came to support him, so he came to tell us about the situation in Nanyin. Come and understand him." Xi Bochang smiled and beckoned Xie Qiao to sit with him.
Xie Qiao couldn't refuse politely, and only the seat next to Qin Mo remained at the square table.
"Miss Rong doesn't want to know about Nanyin's situation and make plans?" Qin Mou's voice was cool, as if he had no other thoughts, just talking about business affairs!
Xie Qiao could only sit beside him.
Qin Mo pushed a piece of sour jujube cake in front of her, Xie Qiao was startled, and looked up, but Qin Mo didn't even look at her, as if it was just a casual move.He said to Xi Bochang: "People with high fevers are now quarantined. When I came, the Nanyin county magistrate only quarantined them with serious illnesses, and didn't send them food. They starved to death."
"It's inhumane!" Xi Bochang slapped the table angrily, his face flushed with anger, "Such people are in vain as parents' officials! Dismissal is considered a light punishment!"
Qin Mo's face was cold, her thin lips were pursed into a line, revealing a sharp arc: "Before I came, the plague started to break out, and the county magistrate ordered people to bury the patients alive. Only when a large-scale outbreak broke out, did quarantine measures be taken."
Xi Bochang looked gloomy, looked at Xie Qiao and said, "We're leaving immediately. On the way, you and King Xie will discuss the countermeasures."
Qin Mo glanced at the untouched breakfast in front of her, and said wearily, "There's no rush. I came all night, so I'll rest for a while."
Xi Bochang pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Xie Qiao's heart moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at him.I saw Qin Mo's slender fingers gently stroking her thin lips, with cold eyes, she put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and led Mingxiu back to the carriage.
Qin Mou's dark eyes gradually became darker: "Xi Bochang, let's go." He picked up the jujube cake and got on the carriage.
Xie Qiao closed his eyes and glanced at him lazily.
Qin Mo didn't care, and put the cake in front of her: "Fill your stomach, and you won't have the time to drink water in Nanyin."
Xie Qiao's eyelashes trembled, and he heard him say again: "Why, do you want to feed it?"
Xie Qiao glared at him fiercely, and ate two pieces of pastries not to upset his stomach.
The carriage galloped, the smoke and dust billowed, and the soldiers escorted the supplies followed closely behind.
Xie Qiao lifted the curtain, and the slightly cool breeze brushed her face, brushing over her tied bun, and a strand of it fell on her neck.Extreme black and dazzling white are extremely attractive under the radiance of the two.
Qin Mo's eyes fell on her snow-white neck, and his fingers stroked back and forth the smooth silk on the carriage, gradually fascinated.
Xie Qiao didn't notice it, she stretched out her hand to feel the breeze passing through her fingers, white clouds, high mountains, and Honghu Lake in the distance flashed before her eyes, her heart was wide open, and she completely forgot about the other person in the carriage.
Gradually approaching Nanyin, the refugees squatted or lay down on the official road.Some refugees even saw the carriage wanting to rush up, and saw the casual soldiers behind, slowly retreating to the side of the road, staring at the carts of grain delivered.
Qin Suu took out a bundle from nowhere and threw it on Xie Qiao's body.
Xie Qiao was startled, opened the bag, and inside was a green cloth robe worn by a man, looking at him in confusion.
Qin Mo had already thrown the curtain and got out of the car.
Sapphire explained: "There are too many refugees here, and they have done a lot of extreme things in order to fight for food. You are a woman who is easy to become the target of their competition, so you can change into a man's clothes and act."
Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows, picking on the weak.
Change into the robe, which just fits.Lan Yu dressed up for Xie Qiao, and instantly became a frail scholar.
"Even though he is a man, he is still a frail scholar with no power to restrain himself. What is the difference between him and a woman?" Xie Qiao frowned, not as pleasing to the eye as a woman dressed in.
Lan Yu straightened her face, and said in a deep voice, "Refugees don't touch books."
Xie Qiao's heart was shaken, and he felt uncomfortable for a while.
……
Walking on the deserted streets, refugees and dead bodies can be seen everywhere.
"All those with good families have already moved away, and those who stayed were the people who were not rich. Those who were infected by the plague have been locked up in a deserted house outside the city for isolation. These dead people are probably hungry. Die." Lan Yu introduced the situation here to Xie Qiao while walking.
Xie Qiao paused and looked towards a house where several people were digging tree roots to satisfy their hunger.
"There is already money here but we can't buy food, and we only rely on porridge outside the city to survive every day." Lan Yu seemed to be touched, and mist appeared in her indifferent eyes, remembering that her hometown was also submerged by floods, Both her parents died in the disaster, and she came out begging along with the refugees, and after many twists and turns, she was chosen by the master.
Xie Qiao continued on his way, when he heard the noise of fighting coming from the alley, he walked over to have a look.Then I saw several refugees surrounding a child, aiming at a piece of cake the size of a palm in his hand.
"Sapphire..."
Before Xie Qiao could say anything, Lan Yu refused: "Miss, if you give them food, instead of helping them, you will bring trouble on yourself. If you want to help them, you might as well discuss with the county king to increase the share of porridge."
Xie Qiao nodded.
Along the way, what she saw and heard made her feel heavy.
She seemed to see a second Qinghe Village.
But the villagers of Qinghe Village were luckier than them, and no plague broke out, which aggravated the disaster.
Back in the temporary camp, Xie Qiao couldn't wait to find Qin Mo.Qin Mo was not in the construction, asked the guards, and only then learned that he was going to inspect the embankment.
Xie Qiao hurried over and paused.I saw Qin Mo tucking the hem of his robe into his belt, rolled up his trousers, and standing in the muddy river to carry mud and sand with others.
The sweat on his cheeks glistened in the sunlight.
Every time they meet, she sees a different side of him.
In her impression, he was always aloof, and the dirty and tiring work must have nothing to do with him.But right now, he did it himself, which changed her opinion of him slightly.
As if aware of her gaze, Qin Mo looked sideways and instructed them to move the last few bags of sand and walked towards Xieqiao.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Mo was sweating profusely, with a foul smell on his body.He raised his hand to wipe away the sweat that fell from the corners of his eyes, his sleeves were wet, and the sand was rubbed on his face.
Xie Qiao had never seen him who was so careless. The dirt on his face did not make him look embarrassed, but instead exuded an attractive and unique charm.
"Wipe your face." Xie Qiao pulled out a snow-white juan handkerchief and handed it to him.
A light flashed in Qin Mo's dark eyes, she looked at her quietly, bent down, and brought her face close to her eyes.
Xie Qiao took a step back, pursed his lips, and looked at him displeased.
Qin Mo spread his hands, his big palms with well-defined joints were dirty, and there was a slight smile in his deep pupils: "I'm sorry."
Xie Qiao looked into his eyes, her lacquered pupils reflected her figure, as if at this moment, she was the only one in his eyes.
His heart trembled slightly, Xie Qiao dodged his eyes, avoiding his burning eyes, and brushed at random: "I want to see the patient."
"No hurry, I'll change clothes." Qin Mo straightened up, smelled the smell on his body, and frowned, as if it was unbearable.Suddenly, his gaze fell on the jade talisman around her waist, gradually darkening and sharpening.
After Qin Mo took a bath and changed clothes, Xi Bochang came with several imperial physicians, and they went to the abandoned house together.
In the house with three entrances and two exits, dozens of people were locked up.
The severity of the disease varies, severe high cyanosis, and the skin is black and purple.Some lay prone with nausea and vomiting, skin bruises and bleeding.
Xie Qiao took out a square scarf, covered his mouth and nose, and went in to check their situation.There was no reaction at all, and the eyes were lifeless, as if they were waiting to die.
After Xie Qiao came out, he threw away the special gloves on his hands.
Qin Mo took out a water bag to clean her hands: "How?"
Xi Bochang and the imperial physician all looked at Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao looked solemn, and said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about it when we go back." After a pause, he looked at Qin Mou and said, "Give them plenty of water." This is conducive to the excretion of toxins.
"After the current quarantine, people are still infected one after another. How can we stop them from being infected?" Xi Bochang slowed down and walked in parallel with Xie Qiao. "If there is no effective control, I am afraid that the city will be burned as the emperor said."
Xie Qiao's heart was awe-inspiring, and his face was covered with frost.Burn the city?Are all the people inside burned to death inside?
savage!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.If the final result is to burn the city, will they all be abandoned?
Thinking of this, Xie Qiao's limbs felt cold and he dared not slack off. He said in a cold voice, "The first thing to do is to exterminate the rats first, and redistribute clothes to the people who have not yet been infected. Sprinkle insecticide on them to cut off the source of infectious diseases." Xie Qiao With a heavy heart, there are no antimicrobials and it is highly contagious and there are no vaccinations.Sighing, he said wearily: "Sterilize everywhere, at least twice a day. As for the others... I have no other choice at the moment."
Xi Bochang nodded.
"Don't come into contact with patients rashly, and take protective measures." After Xie Qiao told the imperial physician, he said to Qin Mo: "There is no special situation, so don't bother me." Back in the tent, he ordered Mingxiu to cook a bowl for her After drinking the medicine, he dug out the letter left by the master and studied it.

capital city
After Yu Qinglan learned of the emperor's decision, anger flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "He is a tyrant!"
If he knew that anyone who went there would become an abandoned child, even if he resisted the order, he would definitely not let her go to Nanyin!
Prince Rong sighed: "This is also a helpless move. If it can be cured, the emperor will not make such a decision. What if we don't burn the city and infect more people?" He patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: " Lan'er, we must focus on the overall situation."
"Father, Qin Mo, he..." Yu Qinglan finally understood why the Nanyin flood was under the management of the crown prince, why Qin Mo went later, I am afraid that the Nanyin epidemic has already reached the heavens!
Prince Rong shook his head.
Yu Qinglan got up suddenly, Prince Rong scolded: "If you go to Nanyin, I'm afraid it will make him more satisfied!"
Yu Qinglan's figure was frozen.
"Father is aware of your worries, but if the descendants of Shennong go, nothing will happen." Prince Rong comforted: "It may not be a good thing for you to stay in the capital, at least you can pass on the wind direction of the capital to Qin Mo, and he will be able to Save the day. If even you go to Nanyin, who can plan for him if there is an eventuality?"
Yu Qinglan thought of Xie Qiao's firm tone of asking him to stay in the capital, she might have expected to change, but she miscalculated that the emperor's heart is so cruel!
His eyes are full of strong sarcasm, he can even take care of his own brothers and sisters, what else can't he do?
Yu Qinglan clenched her hand hanging by her side into a fist.
Prince Rong's eyes changed, and he said in a deep voice: "You have been getting close to the girl of the Rong family recently, could it be that you are worried about her?"
"No!" Yu Qinglan denied, stroking the dark lines on the cloud sleeves with her fair and slender fingers, half-lifting her eyelids, and looked at Prince Rong coldly: "I just asked her some questions, after all, she is Li's daughter, Involved with my aunt."
"What's the matter?" Prince Rong was startled, and lowered his head, making it hard to see the expression in his eyes.
"What does my father think she knows? I left Beijing since I was a child, and there are no old people around me. I was thinking too much." Yu Qinglan's clear face was cold, and her rippling eyes were full of coldness color.
"Really?" Prince Rong's gloomy eyes fell on Yu Qinglan's body, as if he wanted to see the clue from his face.
"What does the father think?" Yu Qinglan looked at Prince Rong with a half-smile, mocking lightly.
Prince Rong snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Yu Qinglan looked at the figure of Prince Rong, her eyes were frozen, cold and piercing.

Nanyin
Except for Xie Qiao going to the abandoned house to check the situation every day, shutting himself in the camp to study prescriptions, or communicating with the imperial physician, he didn't see anyone else.
Qin Mo came in with the food: "Take a break, and think of a way after eating."
Xie Qiao scribbled hard, wrote down the prescription, read the prescription silently, and said without raising his head: "Leave it for now, I will take it later."
Suddenly, the letter in his hand was taken away.
Xie Qiao got up to grab the book, but Qin Mo had already thrown the book aside: "Eating won't take up much of your time." Without any explanation, he put the rice bowl in her hands: "The situation has gradually eased, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself . If you press too hard, you may even block your train of thought.”
Xie Qiao was stunned, and handed the prescription he wrote down just now to Qin Mo: "Apply medicine at the gate of the city, each person has a bowl of prevention." Although not completely immune, at least it is better than nothing.
"En." Qin Mo gave the prescription to Lanxing, and said in a slow tone: "The method you explained will be implemented, and the number of people infected will decrease. As long as no one is infected, the problem will be resolved soon."
Xie Qiao sneered, "Wait until they all die?"
Qin Mou's pupils tightened, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and a little bit of anger condensed in her eyes.
Xie Qiao ate a few mouthfuls and lost his appetite.
Qin Mo suppressed his anger, and felt powerless towards her: "Today, another person's hands and feet turned black, as if poisoned. Is the plague also a kind of poison?"
Poisoning...poison?
Suddenly, Xie Qiao's mind flashed the detoxification and blood circulation soup in "The Plague Compilation".A light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to write down the prescription: forsythia three qian, Bupleurum two qian, kudzu root two qian, raw land five qian, angelica half, red peony three qian, peach kernel eight qian, safflower five qian, Sichuan Park one coin, licorice two coins.
"Quickly, quickly, prepare all these medicines and give it to a mildly ill patient. It will be effective if you try it." Xie Qiao stuffed the prescription to Qin Mo, and knocked on her brain. She almost gave the prescription to Qin Mo. forget.I have been studying the cooked prescriptions, but there are a few medicines in it that are not right.
If Qin Mou hadn't said that casually, she would have really gone into a dead end!
Qin Suan saw that she was so excited, her black eyes were narrowed, and she immediately showed the prescription to several imperial physicians for review.
"Wonderful!" The imperial hospital envoy praised again and again, and looked at Xie Qiao with complicated eyes. He had struggled with Xie Qiao because of Qin Zhi's matter in the Anyuan Hou Mansion that day. Embarrassed: "This party can give it a try."
The other imperial physicians nodded again and again.
Xie Qiao decocted the medicine himself, and the group went to the abandoned house.
Xie Qiao picked out a mildly ill patient, gave him medicine, and lived on the other side for observation.
"Let's see if his condition improves tomorrow." Xie Qiao said to everyone.
Xi Bochang also didn't fall asleep for several days and nights because of this matter. Now that he has developed a prescription, he is naturally happy: "Drink a cup tonight."
Everyone understands, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to sleep tonight.
Xie Qiao sat aside, holding a half-old medical book, watching them drink with a smile on his lips.
Sitting next to her, Qin Mo asked, "If the prescription can cure the plague, will you go with them?" Without waiting for her answer, he seemed to have no intention of saying, "The scenery to the north of Nanyin is good. There is a Taohuawu there. , I buried a jar of wine there, if you have free time, you can go together.”
Xie Qiao shook his head and said, "I promised my brother to go back earlier, he has already prepared a jug of good wine for me."
Qin Mou stared at her quietly, not missing when she was stroking the jade talisman on her waist, her brows and eyes were soft and smiling, and a dark light flashed in her black eyes: "It's okay, I'll go later when I have time."
Xie Qiao smiled, but he didn't agree.
Qin Suan seemed to be infected by her, and he also smiled with his lips curled up, without any annoyance in his expression, he was extremely calm: "Go back to Beijing with me?" But he didn't mention Taohuawu again.
Xie Qiao bowed his head and remained silent.
Qin Mo suddenly took something out of his sleeve, pulled off the golden hairpin from her head, and put the jade hairpin in his hand on her head.
From the basin in front of him, Xie Qiao looked at the mutton hosta on his head, carved into a budding lotus, lifelike, exuding a lustrous luster under the candlelight, as if it was about to bloom under the light and shadow.
"I practiced this. It's passable. You wear it." Qin Mou's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked away uncomfortably.
Xie Qiao listened to his understatement, but Yuhan's meticulous craftsmanship seemed to expose his lies.Swinging his sleeves lightly, he pulled off the jade hairpin on his head, unwilling to accept his intention: "You will not be rewarded for nothing..."
Qin Mo's complexion suddenly became gloomy, and the tall figure approached instantly, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you want you to wear it, you will wear it, how can there be so much nonsense!"
Wearing Yu Qinglan on your body every day, how can you not care about merit?
"Jun Wang..." Xie Qiao pursed her lips tightly, the mutton fat jade hairpin glowed in her hand, the high-grade jade showed that he had put his thought into it.
Qin Mo suddenly took off the jade talisman around her waist, put it in the palm of her hand and said, "Give this to me, even."
"No!" Xie Qiao stretched out his hand to snatch it away, but Qin Suo turned sideways, and Xie Qiao was unstable and fell to the ground.
Qin Mo's complexion changed slightly, and he stretched out his long arms, pulling her into his arms.With an empty palm, the jade talisman had already fallen into Xie Qiao's hands.
Xie Qiao stretched out his hand and pushed it out of his arms, straightened his clothes and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to the tent to have a rest first." Brushing his hand over the table, he left lightly, leaving Yuhan lying on the table.
Qin Mo was furious, picked up the jade hairpin and threw it outside.
With a flash of white light, the jade hairpin landed not far in front of Xie Qiao, torn apart.
Xie Qiao's footsteps stopped, her eyes went dark, the curtain of the tent behind her fell down, covering up the candlelight, and the silvery moonlight stretched her figure extremely long.
A moment later, a tall and straight figure came out of the tent, walking slowly, as if searching for something, until dawn, but found nothing.
Everyone washed up and went to the abandoned house after breakfast.
The patient's symptoms were relieved, and everyone's eyes flashed with joy, as if they saw hope.
"It's really effective. I don't know if it will be cured after taking it for a few days?" Xi Bochang was emotional.
Xie Qiao's calm eyes also had turmoil: "If it's all right, we'll be able to leave for Beijing in half a month." His eyes touched Qin Mo, but he looked away, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
For several days in a row, Xie Qiao decocted and fed the medicine by himself, and finally the effect was remarkable.
All his illnesses have disappeared, and he is already cured!
The news spread all over the city at once, and everyone jumped for joy. The people in the abandoned house were no longer dead and silent, and the desire to survive was ignited in their eyes!
Seeing Xie Qiao, they all knelt down and kowtowed: "Bodhisattva! You are a living Bodhisattva! Please save us! Save us..."
Xie Qiao said quickly: "I will do my best, everyone get up!"
Immediately, he ordered Mingxiu to give each of them a bowl of medicine.
Xie Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, the big rock finally fell down.These days, she has not had a good rest.Now, with nothing to do, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed.
"Miss! Miss!"
At this time, Mingxiu ran in in a panic, pushed Xie Qiao, and said anxiously: "Miss, wake up, something is wrong!"
Xie Qiao opened his eyes with difficulty, his head was dazed and his body was weak.He said in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?"
Mingxiu's face was pale, and her voice trembled: "Miss, how many of those who took the medicine died... died."
These words are like thunder on the ground——
Xie Qiao's complexion suddenly changed!
died?
How can it be?
Before curing a person, there was no problem with the prescription at all, so how could he die?
Putting on her clothes anxiously, she hurried to the abandoned house, Xi Bochang, Qin Yu and several imperial physicians had all arrived.
"What's going on?" Seeing Xie Qiao, Xi Bochang asked in a deep voice, frowning.
Some people were cured by taking medicine before, why did the person who took medicine die now?
Xie Qiao turned pale, shook her head, put on her special gloves and a face mask, and went in to check one by one.Mild patients have no problem, but have eased.The moderate and severe cases of illness are not optimistic!
She doesn't know what's wrong, there will be such a problem!
"The medicine won't work!" Xie Qiaotou was a little dizzy, sweating profusely.With a dry throat, he said, "I'm afraid this medicine is for mild patients. Others are useless."
Xi Bochang looked gloomy, and said with a glimmer of hope: "Dosage problem? If you increase the dosage..."
Xie Qiao shook his head and looked at several imperial physicians.
Tai Hospital envoy said: "My method is useless."
The other three looked at each other, and said to Xie Qiao: "Your prescription is not completely useless, at least it is effective for mild cases. We will separate them all, and lock people of different levels together. I believe you will be able to figure out a way Help other patients!"
Xie Qiao was dizzy and didn't have any thoughts.Maybe it's because he's been too busy these days and hasn't had a good rest. Now he relaxes and rests, and he feels uncomfortable.
"Let me think about it again—" Xie Qiao looked at the patient in the room, and the patient was no longer unspeakably excited to see her, but fearful!As if she was more terrifying than the plague, able to take their lives instantly!
Xie Qiao smiled wryly, afraid that the follow-up treatment would be more difficult.
They don't believe her anymore—
"Give me some more time." Xie Qiao shook her head. What she needs most now is to sleep and maintain her best condition.
Xi Bochang sighed softly: "I'm afraid it doesn't take much time. I received the imperial court's oral order yesterday, and it only has a month at most."
"How come..." Xie Qiao's heart sank, why didn't he listen to him?
Xi Bochang said bitterly: "I thought the medicine was effective and could cure the plague, so I didn't say it." At the end, he sighed heavily.
Xie Qiao's figure flickered, and his whole body was on the verge of falling.
"Miss—" Ming Xiu suddenly screamed, and Xie Qiao fell into darkness.
Qin Mo hugged her in his arms and strode to the camp.
"Prince doctor, show my lady quickly!" Mingxiu said anxiously.
The imperial doctor helped Xie Qiao's pulse, and suddenly, he stepped back quickly, and said in horror: "Miss Rong, she has a high fever!"
