The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

There were also medicinal materials and grains that Shen Dongsu asked Jiang to buy. In addition to the palace's one hundred personal guards, the emperor also specially ordered that a thousand forbidden troops accompany the princess in the restricted area.

When Shen Dongsu heard this, since the thousand forbidden troops could accompany him, he would take the two hundred government officials with him.

Naturally, there were local government servants in Jiangnan, but she was familiar with these people, so it was easier to give orders.

At the same time, she asked Jiasi to send an urgent letter and some special medicine to her eldest brother Zhongyang, and ask about her family's situation. She had to go to Jiangnan first to cure the plague.

Only then can I return to Yizhou. By then I will naturally have to go back to Gwangju.

It is said that the plague in Jiangnan is becoming more and more serious, and the city government has also established a restricted area, but it is not as good as the restricted area in Chang'an City in all aspects.

The patients were packed inside in a mess, with not much food or warm clothes. There had been several cases of people burning charcoal to keep out the cold, resulting in the poisoning of a whole room of people.

Currently, there are almost as many people dying of illness as there are people dying of starvation or freezing. In addition, merchants in Jiangnan are hoarding grain and raising grain prices.

In a state city like Jiangnan far away from Chang'an, the power of the gentry was greater than that of the court officials, and even the officials could not control it.

In villages and towns far away from the city, people who contracted the plague stayed at home to recuperate. It has already happened that everyone in the village died.

That's why there was a civil uprising before. The third young master Lu was killed, and the Lu family's warehouse was opened to store grain. The civil uprising subsided, but it was only temporary. If the plague was not controlled, there would probably be trouble again.

Shen Dongsu carefully looked at the information coming from Jiangnan and felt that things were much more difficult than in Chang'an. He didn't know if the plague could be eradicated within a year?

Suddenly she realized, why did she want to control the plague as soon as possible? Were you thinking of the common people at that moment?

No, what I want is to go to Youzhou as soon as possible.

Shen Dongsu felt that she had fallen. Sure enough, love brain is contagious. It was right for her to separate from Ling Moxiao for a while.

It felt like with the current progress, she didn't even need Ling Mo Xiao to persuade her, she could persuade herself and throw Ling Mo Xiao down to consummate the marriage.

On the first night of the first year of junior high school, the two of them slept for at most two hours. There was always endless things to talk about, and every time they thought they were about to fall asleep.

Then she thought about something that had not been explained properly. Ling Moxiao was worried that she would be made trouble by the nobles in the south of the Yangtze River. She was worried that Ling Moxiao would encounter the strong army of Northern Xinjiang in Youzhou.

Both parties felt that the night passed too quickly. The winter night before was obviously so long, but this night, the sky quickly turned white.

The couple had their last breakfast at the palace. Aunt Ji prepared a very sumptuous meal and packed more than a dozen boxes of snacks for each of them.

Desserts take a long time to be stored in winter, so Aunt Ji taught Yue Mian which items can be eaten by steaming them, and which items can be eaten by roasting them.

She had been wiping her tears secretly. Originally, she was going to Jiangnan with Princess Ling, but now the palace is different from before. The Jiang family often has to contact Shen Dongsu.

The treasures in the warehouse must be watched over by someone, and the printing press in the house is also used. Shen Dongsu has printed tens of thousands of epidemic prevention leaflets.

In short, Chang'an needed someone he could trust to guard it, so Shen Dongsu asked Nanny Ji to stay.

After breakfast, the couple formally said goodbye. Ling Moxiao and his guards rode to the military camp, where the emperor saw him off, and went directly north to Youzhou.

Shen Dongsu took a carriage to the south of the Yangtze River and took the goods through the canal. The canal was covered with thick ice and it was impossible to sail.

However, sledges can be used to transport goods, and some people directly ride on sledges to travel, but Ling Moxiao did not allow Shen Dongsu to sit on them, saying it was unsafe.

In order to commend Princess Ling for going to Jiangnan to control the plague regardless of her personal safety, the emperor sent someone to see her off.

It was supposed to be the queen or the queen mother who met her in the palace and said goodbye, which was all she wanted.

It's a pity that the Queen Mother was so angry that she was bedridden because of the Lu family's affairs. The queen scolded people in the cold palace. It is said that she scolded everyone, from the emperor to Shen Dongsu and the Chen family.

The emperor sent the prince to persuade the queen, but the queen refused to shut up, so the prince knelt in front of the cold palace and refused to get up.

The prince knelt in the snow for a long time, and the queen finally shut up.

Shen Dong always thought it was because of the deep love between mother and son, but he heard Ling Moxiao sneer and say that it was the prince's people who blocked the queen's mouth.

Really, the love between mother and son is deep!

So the people who sent Princess Ling off came and went. Among the palace concubines and the emperor's relatives, the emperor chose the crown prince Zhang Chaoying.

Zhang Chaoying didn't show any pretense at all and delivered it to the city gate in person. The two of them first expressed the harmony between the sisters-in-law and the emperor's grace under the watchful eyes of people from all walks of life.

When Zhang Chaoying led her into the carriage and said a few words, Shen Dongsu was still wondering if there would be any mechanism in the carriage?

As soon as he got on the horse, Zhang Chaoying's eyes turned red and he shed a few tears, and his expression didn't look fake at all.

Shen Dongsu was a little confused, wondering why she was crying?

But Zhang Chaoying said: "No matter what my sister thinks, my sister really likes you and wants to be friends with you."

"It's a pity that there are too many things you have to do to marry into the royal family. I only wish my sister everything goes well and returns safely."

Shen Dongsu felt ashamed of her previous thoughts. She was about to say something when suddenly Zhang Chaoying hugged her fiercely.

Among nobles, to express intimacy, even sisters would shake hands and look at each other at most, but rarely hug like this.

Zhang Chaoying said in her ear in a voice that only she could hear: "I only hope that my sister and Prince Ling will be together for a hundred years."

Shen Dongsu hummed softly and said, "Thank you very much, sister. I also wish my sister to be safe and happy."

If it feels good to bless her and the prince, it feels like it is not a blessing but a curse for Zhang Chaoying.

The sound of a nanny coughing could be heard from outside the carriage. Zhang Chaoying was startled and hurriedly let go of Shen Dongsu and straightened her clothes.

Just this move made Shen Dongsu understand that she was not living freely in the East Palace.

Now Shen Dongsu knew what to wish her, and also said in a voice that only she could hear:

"Sister, the queen is in the cold palace, and you are in the east palace. You have to earn this dignity by yourself."

"You are the emperor, the crown princess!"

Zhang Chaoying was thoughtful. Her parting gift to Shen Dongsu was a purple jade pendant, and Shen Dongsu gave her a jade hairpin in return.

When Shen Dongsu's carriage drove away from Chang'an City, she saw Zhang Chaoying still waving to her.

Yue Jian whispered: "The prince can actually marry such a good princess!"

She glanced at Shen Dongsu and saw that the prince and the prince were brothers who would never stop fighting each other. The princess and the princess were also close friends. The fate between these people was really strange.

The cold wind poured into the carriage. Yue Jian hurriedly closed the door and opened the window tightly.

Shen Dongsu looked at the charcoal basin and stopped him: "Don't close the window. There will be poisoning if there is a charcoal fire."

Seeing Chang'an City, which he was not familiar with yet, receding little by little in his sight, Shen Dongsu had mixed feelings.

From Chang'an to Jiangnan, it would take half a month to travel by water in spring, not to mention traveling by horse-drawn carriage in the cold winter, when the road would be difficult.

It is estimated that the journey will take a month. Fortunately, the inns along the way have been prepared in advance. I have inquired about Princess Ling's driving and prepared in advance for the princess to stay overnight.

The prefectural cities along the way naturally wanted to invite Princess Ling to stay overnight, but Shen Dongsu had already agreed in advance not to enter the city in order to get to Jiangnan as soon as possible.

As long as the various cities and towns prepare the required supplies in advance, it will be enough for the Imperial Army to pick them up.

Also, every state and city has been checked in advance. If there are people infected with the plague, Princess Ling will go to the city to see a doctor.

If not, then don’t stop at all and rush to Jiangnan as soon as possible.

In the past, some royal family went to the south of the Yangtze River, but they only visited the mountains and rivers. Every time they visited a city or state, they would stay for a few days, eat and have fun before leaving.

Along the way, the various cities and towns suddenly received an urgent order from Chang'an. When they saw that Princess Ling was going to Jiangnan, they suddenly became worried.

The princess is here, the palace must be prepared! Get your gifts ready! Be careful when eating!

This princess's visit, even just for a meal, can make a local official poor.

Let’s look at Jia Yuanchun’s wedding visit and only went home for a few hours. So the Jia family's wealth was emptied.

As a result, I heard that Princess Ling really wanted to treat illnesses and save people, not just for fun. If there are no patients in your city, no one will enter the city.

This made the local officials admire and rejoice, but those nobles who were used to being local emperors despised him in their hearts.

The princess of the royal family is so out of character. The majestic princess actually goes to rescue the untouchables!

Also, this Princess Ling was born as a pariah.

Haha, Prince Ling really lost his mind and chose such a useless concubine!

Especially the nobles who are related to the Chen and Lu families, let alone reception, they are still thinking of stumbling upon Princess Ling!

As a result, everyone felt very boring when they heard that she was not going to the city.

If it wasn't too cold, Shen Dongsu would have wanted to ride a horse and get to Jiangnan as soon as possible!

The carriage was slow and the road was uneven. Sometimes ice and snow blocked the road, and we had to wait for the road to clear before we could go on our way.

She knew it was useless to rush, so she experimented on the carriage and made more special medicines.

He also read the emergency reports sent from Jiangnan, counted the sick people, and planned his own route according to the region and population distribution map.

In short, people haven't arrived in Jiangnan yet, and they are still very busy sitting in the carriage.

Moreover, the carriage was too rocky and I couldn't write well. I felt dizzy after looking at something for a while. The scenery outside was all white and snowy. My eyes hurt after looking at it for a long time.

Ling Moxiao and the others who came to Chang'an were riding horses, and the skin on their thighs was scratched. She felt that traveling far away in this era was really hard.

Jiangnan Carriage is the best at this time, and it is still difficult to have people waiting for everything!

I really miss my previous life! You can choose where to go by plane or high-speed rail. From Chang'an to Jiangnan, it only takes half a day.

But here, eating and sleeping in the open air is almost the same as Tang Monk studying for Buddhist scriptures.

I traveled like this for more than ten days. Fortunately, I could stay at the inn every night. Although the inn provided the best things to entertain Princess Ling.

But both the food and accommodation were very shabby. Fortunately, Shen Dongsu has not yet found it difficult to live in luxury and frugality. During the time in the restricted area, the living conditions were very poor, so she could accept it.

Every night, Yue Jian would move the quilt from the palace and make a new bed. He would never let Shen Dong sleep on the bed in the inn or use the inn's items to wash himself.

She said that the inn was full of bugs and the bedding was full of lice. It was difficult to take a shower on the road. If the lice crawled into the princess's hair, she would be in trouble.

Shen Dongsu thought that in Shenjia Village, there was no child in the village who did not have lice on his head.

It was Da Lian and Xiao Man. It was she who bought castor oil and took the trouble to wash the hair of the two little guys before they got rid of the lice.

All the snacks prepared by Nanny Ji were eaten on the eighth day. Yue Jian borrowed the kitchen of the inn to make the snacks herself.

After staying up half the night, except for the white steamed buns that she dared to give to Shen Dongsu, all the other things she made were given to the guards.

Yue Jian was very frustrated. His hands had made gong and could pull arrows, but why couldn't they deal with that little flour?

Shen Dongsu praised her, saying that she had made great progress compared to being in the penalty area!

Then he took it upon himself to teach Yue Jian a few snacks.

Yue Jian was surprised that the princess was so good at making snacks?

Jia Si ate the soft cake again, and almost burst into tears with gratitude, and said to Yue Jian:

"Back in Gwangju, the princess relied on this skill to make the prince eat it once and never forget it."

"Even Chef Jia worships the princess as his disciple. Several women who learned how to make dim sum from the princess have already opened dim sum shops in the city."

Shen Dongsu smiled in her heart, but she said with a noble look on her face:

"Low-key, low-key! My current job as a princess is to control the plague. Cooking and making snacks is just a side project!"

She taught Tsukimi how to make long-lasting chicken cakes, deep-fried twists, baked biscuits, and filling butter fried noodles.

Once, the post station was blocked by heavy snow, and officials from the prefecture and city just arrived to deliver supplies, including twenty slaughtered fat sheep.

She moved her index finger, and wanted to reward the Imperial Guards and government officials who were traveling with her in such weather. She personally directed everyone to mix the ingredients, fry the bottom of the butter pot, and stew the mutton in clear soup.

He and Yue Jian had a busy day. That night, more than a thousand people ate mutton hot pot.

To Shen Dongsu's surprise, the station actually had sweet potato noodles! She looked at the outer packaging bag of the rice noodles and was even more surprised.

It turns out to be Gwangju’s sweet potato noodles! Although it is not from Jiang's workshop, it is so touching to be able to eat hometown food in a place like this.

Thanks to the vigorous publicity of A4, Gwangju hotpot has long been coveted by everyone, and today we were able to taste the low-end version.

Even so, the Imperial Guards were still full of praise for the food. Shen Dongsu also invited the clerks at the post station to eat with the officials who came to deliver supplies.

The official didn't dare to tell Princess Ling, and kept dragging Jia Si to tell her that they wanted to open a hotpot restaurant in the city together.

Shen Dongsu is a bit crazy. The more people praise her, the more enthusiastic she becomes. Seeing so many people eating hot pot with great enthusiasm, they have rave reviews for her craftsmanship.

She also taught the cooks of the Forbidden Army and Yue Jian how to make noodles, with the only green vegetable in winter, finely chopped green garlic sprouts, and a spoonful of hot pot soup.

The taste of that bowl of noodles, on such a cold winter day, is even more delicious than Buddha Jumping Over the Wall!

When it comes to being in the restricted area, Princess Ling relies on silver rewards to win people's hearts. Then on the way to the south of the Yangtze River, Princess Ling became loyal to the Imperial Army just by having this meal.

Although the road is occasionally blocked by ice and snow and blocked at the inn, most of the time we can still go on the road, but we just go slower.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, the team arrived in Sizhou. The process was almost as expected before departure.

Yangzhou City is coming soon, and it is also the place where the plague is most serious in Jiangnan.

I don’t know whether I should say that extreme joy brings sorrow, or God is deliberately blocking it. When I was in Sizhou City, it was already the end of the first month, but it snowed heavily for several days in a row.

The weather this year is very strange. The first snow fell very early. Like Jiangnan, it rarely snows in February.

Spring was about to arrive, but it snowed again, the weather dropped rapidly, and there was a thick layer of frost on the trees.

The carriage was parked all night, and in the morning the ice ridges on the four corners of the carriage's eaves were almost to the ground.

Jiasi was very worried and said that this situation happened once more than ten years ago. After a heavy snowstorm, there was a late spring cold, and the remaining snow did not melt until April.

Countless cattle, sheep and people froze to death. What worried him even more was that if this was the case in Sizhou, the snow conditions in the north would be even worse.

Ling Moxiao's trip to Youzhou will not go smoothly.
