Chapter 33 Holy Mother I Can't Do It
Lei Yuxiu and Chang Xiaoman changed their way to Nanyi.

From time to time along the way, I saw people falling ill on the side of the road, and the pharmacies and medical centers were overcrowded.

Chang Xiaoman asked Lei Yuxiu to park the carriage next to a pharmacy.The two covered their mouths and noses with cotton cloths and walked into the pharmacy, and said to the clerk, "Forsythia, honeysuckle, isatis root, houttuynia cordata, rhodiola rosea, menthol, and licorice, each in a pack."

The buddy looked at the two of them with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say much.

"Can you make medicine here?" Chang Xiaoman asked again.

The guy nodded and pointed to the backyard of the pharmacy.

After taking the medicine, Chang Xiaoman and Lei Yuxiu came to the backyard.Chang Xiaoman found a medicine pot and carefully boiled the medicine.

"Do you know how to treat it?" Lei Yuxiu asked puzzled after seeing her busy for a while.

Chang Xiaoman poured the boiled medicine into two bowls, gave one bowl to Lei Yuxiu, and took the other bowl by himself, "I'm not sure that these medicines are effective for treatment, but they should have some preventive effects. Try it in a bowl to prevent problems before they happen."

Lei Yuxiu picked up the medicine and drank it without hesitation.

"Aren't you afraid that my medicine is poisonous?" Chang Xiaoman took the bowl back from his hand, and looked at Lei Yuxiu with crooked eyes.

"You've already drank it yourself, why should I worry?"

"I can't guarantee the amount and effect of this medicine. Don't blame me for a stomachache later." Chang Xiaoman walked towards the front desk of the medical hall with the pot of decocting medicine in his arms.

"What do you want this pot for?" Lei Yuxiu was puzzled.

"From here to Nanyi, the plague is getting worse and worse. We need it to make medicine along the way." After that, she gave some copper coins to the pharmacist and bought the medicine pot.

From Dapei all the way to the south, they traveled during the day and slept in the carriage at night.

Finally arrived at the border between Dapei and Nanyi half a month later.

Once entering the territory of Nanyi, the situation of the spread of the plague was even more dire.Every time I pass through a village or town, I see people who are coughing and have a high fever and are comatose.There are makeshift cremation sites everywhere, and corpses are thrown into the pyre.

Chang Xiaoman tightly grasped Lei Yuxiu's skirt, "Yuxiu, there are still living people among those corpses, look at that one's chest is still heaving."

Lei Yuxiu was driving the carriage with one hand, while holding Chang Xiaoman's hand tightly with the other, "Don't be afraid."

"Let's find a place to decoct the medicine later." Chang Xiaoman lowered his eyes and stopped looking at the horrible scene of villagers burning corpses.

They found a remote place, set up a medicine pot and started cooking.

After a while, the medicinal fragrance floated into the air with a strong bitter taste.

Chang Xiaoman carefully fanned the fire with a fan, while Lei Yuxiu sat on the side with his eyes closed.

"Sister, can you give me some medicine? My mother is very sick."

A small voice sounded behind Chang Xiaoman.

Chang Xiaoman turned around, and a shabby little girl stood in the corner, looking at them timidly.

They are also running out of medicine, if they distribute it to this girl...

Chang Xiaoman lowered his head to look at the boiling medicinal soup.

Lei Yuxiu walked to Xiaoman's side, "What's wrong?"

"If we distribute the medicine to her, more people will come to us for medicine after she takes it back. What we have left is not enough for anyone." Chang Xiaoman said truthfully, "I can't do it for the Holy Mother. I can't do this medicine." Can't give."

Lei Yuxiu's eyes darkened, and he turned to look at the little girl, "Let's go, you heard it too, we don't have enough medicine."

The little girl suddenly burst into sobs, "Please, my aunt is too sick to get out of bed, my father left us and left, if my aunt dies too... woo..." She cried and took Dirty sleeves wiping tears.

Seeing how pitiful she looked, Chang Xiaoman gritted his teeth and looked at Lei Yuxiu, "Yuxiu, drive her away!"

Lei Yuxiu picked up a piece of wood from the side, pretending to hit it, "Get lost!"

Seeing the stick about to fall, the little girl turned around and ran away.She ran too fast and accidentally tripped over a rock.

Chang Xiaoman stood up, drew out the dagger in his hand, "If you don't run away, I will kill you."

The little girl looked horrified, and she didn't dare to cry anymore. She got up from the ground and ran away in a hurry.

Seeing her running away, Chang Xiaoman retracted his dagger, picked up his fan and continued to fan his pot.

"I thought you would give her medicine." Lei Yuxiu threw away the wooden stick in his hand, knelt down and added some hay to Xiaoman's fire.

"Did you realize that you don't really know me that well?" Chang Xiaoman raised a corner of his mouth, not wanting to explain anything.

As usual, she divided the decocted medicine into two bowls.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

"After drinking for so many days, I'm still not used to the taste. It's too bitter." Chang Xiaoman packed the pots and bowls containing the medicine, wrapped the medicine residue in a paper bag, and threw it on the side of the road.

Lei Yuxiu glanced at the bag of medicinal residues, and helped her carry the pots and pans to the carriage.

The two got into the carriage and hurried to the next village.

Seeing the two leaving, the little girl immediately ran out from the corner where she was hiding, picked up the bag of medicine dregs on the ground, and happily ran home.

Dapei, Beijing

Emperor Xian sat on the dragon chair, his face was pale and his eyes were weak.

"Prime Minister, I heard that there is a plague among the people."

Prime Minister Yu walked out of the courtiers, bowed his hands and saluted, "Return to Your Majesty, it's summer and autumn changing seasons, the weather is turning cold, and occasional cold and cough are common symptoms among the common people at this time. The lower officials have ordered officials from all over the country to inform the medical halls and pharmacies to do the same. To be ready is to receive and treat patients."

"Okay." Emperor Xian nodded wearily, "Earlier, the queen mentioned to me that your family has a granddaughter who is good-natured, virtuous and gentle. But how can I remember that at the celebration of Concubine Yun's daughter two years ago, she She is a crazy and stupid woman."

Prime Minister Yu bowed and smiled apologetically, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the reason for your granddaughter Yu Yuan's disrespect in front of the palace was because someone deliberately framed her up. In the past two years, Yu Yuan has thought about it at home and sincerely repented. Your Majesty also invited famous experts from the capital's teaching workshop to re-do it. Teaching her various palace rules and etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and now she has accomplished a little."

Emperor Xian's eyes were gloomy like dark clouds covering the sun, "Show her to come to the front of the palace."

Hearing Emperor Xian's call, Yu Yuan, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, walked cautiously to the hall with his head down.

"Little girl Yu Yuan, I have met Your Majesty, long live my emperor." Yu Yuan knelt down and bowed to Emperor Xian.Her gestures showed the demeanor that a prostitute daughter of an aristocratic family should have, and she looked gracious and gentle.

"Well, that's right." Emperor Xian looked at the Seventh Prince Gu Yunzheng who was standing on the side, "Yunzheng, Prime Minister Yu's granddaughter is about the same age as you, and I will marry her to you today. How about being your side princess?"

When Yu Songjie heard that his granddaughter was married to the Seventh Prince as a side concubine by Emperor Xian, he immediately felt displeased.

Yu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, held back his anger, gritted his silver teeth, bowed his head and did not make a sound.

Gu Yunzheng walked towards the front of the hall, glanced at Yu Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, the disgust in his eyes was undisguised.

He bowed his hands to Emperor Xian, "Thank you Father for the marriage."

The queen who was sitting by the side looked at Yu Cheng, and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan'er is outstanding in appearance, talent and temperament, not to mention her family background, if she is allowed to be Yun Zheng's side concubine, I'm afraid it will be a little bit strange." Treated her badly."

Emperor Xian glanced at the queen, his eyes were as cold as ice, "Shut up, when will it be your turn to refute my decision."

"..." The queen bit her lower lip and said with restraint, "I know my mistake."

"That's it. Concubine Ju is in charge of all the ceremonies for Yunzheng to marry the side concubine. Since she is the side concubine, there is no need to make a fuss, understand."

Emperor Xian supported the old man beside him, got up slowly, and walked towards the bedroom.

Your Highness, all the people thank you.

Gu Yunzheng turned and left the hall without looking at Yu Yuan again.
