There were some things that Mo Xiujin didn't say to anyone, and there was no one to tell him.

When he knew that his grandfather and father both died of madness, and when he got sick for the first time, no matter what Shen Dongsu said, he could be cured and guaranteed not to get sick again.

In his own mind, he has already sentenced himself to death, and his death will be ugly, like his father and grandfather, who will go crazy and die miserably.

From then on, he had been planning that if he was destined to die, he would do something meaningful before he died.

Do something that can prove that people like him are useful.

Even if he lives in this world, he can leave some mark.

The first thing is to save Sister Ayuan. In this matter, he succeeded.

The second thing is to do something for his mother, A Yuan, and Dong Su who has been helping him.

At first, he wanted to take part in the imperial examination and pass the examination. With the status of being a candidate, his family and close relatives would be able to benefit.

If the tax on land is low, it will be respected by people in the local area. Even if the mother is stupid, no one dares to bully her if she has a son who is a juren.

But later he realized that this path would not work. He had been ill in the human world and knew that he was mad, so the imperial court would not let him continue the imperial examination.

In this life, the most he has achieved is the reputation of being a scholar.

Soon, he discovered another path, which was King Ling.

He helped King Ling do things, doing things that required smart people who were not afraid of death, based on the merits he had made for King Ling.

Even if he dies, his close relatives will be protected by King Ling in Guangzhou, his fiefdom. You can also live without worries about food and clothing.

Now it seems that this is the right path.

He successfully lurked into the Lu family and made great contributions in the slave trade case, although this contribution was not included in the court's merit list.

But in King Ling's heart, his contribution was very important, and that was enough. He believed in King Ling's character and his promise.

He originally planned to go back to Gwangju to see his mother and Ah Yuan, then leave quietly and find a place where no one knew him to die.

Asking Dong Su to help him tell the lie, he said that he was sent to the border by King Ling as an errand and it would take a long, long time to come back.

After a long time, Sister Ayuan met a good man, got married and had children, happily. He became her ordinary cousin.

After a long time, the mother loses track of time, occasionally remembering that her son should go home, but more often than not, she spends every day with a smile.

Over time, the world has forgotten that there once was a young man with amazing talents, but he was suffering from a hereditary madness. He is no longer a talking point among the world, but an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, Mo Xiujin's plan was suspended due to the plague. At the same time, to his surprise, he once again made great achievements.

When Shen Dongsu led the imperial army out of the mountain road, it happened to be the time when the sun was rising.

Obviously, as soon as the mountain road was dug, Princess Ling set out in the middle of the night regardless of the midnight hour.

Yes, Shen Dong Su was too worried about Jia Si, who was flying for the first time. As soon as the mountain road was dug, he received the news.

She got up from the bed and set off without waiting for Sizhou officials to see her off.

She and Yue Jian were sitting in the carriage along the way, not thinking about anything. Every time they took a nap, they dreamed of Jia Si falling from mid-air.

The hot air balloon burned into a big fireball and fell into the city of Yangzhou...

It is no exaggeration to say that she didn't even think about Ling Mo Xiao, she was all about Jia Si.

Yue Jian was not nervous at first, but this girl was straight-headed and actually thought that Jia Si's wish was to become the first person in the sky.

Now that he has successfully flown, even if something happens to him, A-4 will still have his wish fulfilled.

But seeing that the princess was so worried, not only worried about the safety of Jiasi, but also worried that the hot air balloon would cause big trouble, the court did not allow her to study it from now on.

Yue Jian also became worried. The two of them asked the Imperial Guards leading the way eight hundred times, how many miles were left?

Fortunately, the Imperial Guard had a good temper. Shen Dongsu felt that if she and her daughter went on a long trip together in the future and her daughter asked so frequently, she would have started fighting.

Jia Si should also know that the princess is most worried about his safety now.

So when Princess Ling's carriage appeared, Jiasi immediately galloped forward and shouted: "Princess, my subordinates landed safely!"

For the first time, Shen Dongsu was so happy to hear Jia Si's voice. Yue Jian had excellent eyesight and stretched out his head to take a look and said happily:

"Princess, you have no missing arms or legs, and you can even ride a horse!"

Shen Dongsu was so excited that he hugged Yue Jian in a bear hug: "That's great! That's great! Let's fly together next time!"

Yue Jian blushed with joy and nodded heavily: "Yes! Yue Jian and the princess will fly together."

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of the team that came to pick up Princess Ling, and Jia Si followed on horseback beside the carriage.

Shen Dongsu also poked her head out of the window to talk to him, and unintentionally glanced ahead, where she was startled by a figure.

This man was wearing a cape of A-4, standing with a group of soldiers, looking a little out of place.

In addition to his temperament, there is also his body, which is too thin and sickly, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

It seemed that just standing here had already exhausted all his strength.

His face was so thin that he lost his features, and his eyes, which were originally like stars, were now red at the corners and the whites were blurry.

He doesn't look like a young man, he looks like he is nearly fifty years old.

But Shen Dongsu still recognized it at a glance. This was her little brother Pan!

She had thought that Brother Xiao Pan would have a bad life when he was ambushing the Lu family, but she did not expect that others would become like this!

She hurriedly asked people to stop the car, jumped out of the carriage, and walked step by step in front of Mo Xiujin. She didn't even notice that her tears were rolling down like beads.

Yue Jian was so panicked that she quickly asked Jia Si: "Who is that person?"

Jia Si sighed softly: "The princess's cousin, Mr. Mo! Have you forgotten?"

Yue Jian had met Mo Xiujin before, but the Mo Xiujin she met was a handsome and personable young man whose literary talent and knowledge were repeatedly praised by Mr. Pang.

He's not the sick man in front of him who is sick and looks no better than a beggar!

Shen Dongsu wanted to rush up and hug Xiao Pan, but as soon as she approached, Mo Xiujin bowed first: "I've met the princess."

Then he whispered: "Good Dongsu, don't cry in front of others, we can talk later if you have anything to say."

Shen Dongsu's voice was choked with sobs, and he could only say one sentence: "Brother Xiao Pan, you have suffered!"

The sound of "Little Pan" made Mo Xiujin's nose sore. In the past, whenever Shen Dongsu called out "Little Pan", he would grab her ears and stop her from shouting.

What he hates the most is his nickname, but now, it sounds extremely heartwarming.

Not only is he the ruthless Mo Xiujin, he is also Mo Xiaopan, the family member in his hometown!

Shen Dongsu asked him to get on the carriage, but he said it was against the rules and he was unwilling to get on.

Shen Dongsu then rode with him. As long as she knew that Jia Si was still alive, she didn't even bother to ask about Jia Si's flight.

She just wants to know now, how did Brother Xiaopan become like this?

While still on the horse, she took his pulse. Mo Xiujin was infected with the plague, but his condition was not too serious.

After asking, I found out that he was originally very serious. Ever since the Lu family rebels captured the imperial doctors, they got some special medicine and gave him some.

After all, as a 'strategist' he was still highly valued by the Lu family rebels, so his condition improved.

When asked about his other illnesses, Mo Xiujin laughed to himself and said, "Forget it about others. In front of the princess, my madness has nothing to hide."

"I got sick twice. When the Lu family found out, I bit the wooden stick I brought with me and got through it."

"I have been keeping the prescriptions you gave me, and I have prepared them myself. I'm fine now. Except for occasionally hearing someone talking in my head, everything is normal at other times."

Shen Dongsu was shocked. He had already had auditory hallucinations. This could be called 'not bad'!

She said seriously: "Brother Xiao Pan, no matter what happens this time, you can't leave me again! Even if the sky falls, let's hold it together."

"Don't even think about hiding alone, and don't expect me to promise you anything."

"If you dare to hide, I will go back to my hometown immediately and tell my third aunt, sister Ayuan, brother Dayu and my brother."

"Even if we find the ends of the earth, we will still find you home!"

Speaking of this, her voice choked up again:

"Brother Pan, please, trust me for once. I don't want you to die alone outside. I want you to survive in peace."

Mo Xiujin lowered his head, not daring to let Shen Dongsu see the vulnerability in his eyes.

If there was a possibility of being cured, why would he want to go far away and die alone?

"Dong Su, don't give me vain hope. I know that my illness will never be cured!"

Shen Dongsu pointed at Jia Si: "Before he flew to Yangzhou City, does anyone in the world believe that people can fly into the sky?"

Mo Xiujin was stunned: "Indeed not!"

"Before I develop a specific medicine, does anyone believe that there is a specific medicine for the plague?"

Mo Xiujin shook his head again: "Not even this."

Shen Dongsu whispered to him again: "Before you arrived in Jiangnan, did anyone believe that the Lu family would collapse?"

That's the Queen Mother's natal family! One of the largest aristocratic families in this dynasty.

Mo Xiujin thought of the things the Lu family did behind the scenes, and showed disgust: "Their downfall has come to their advantage! This family can be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts!"

Shen Dongsu said softly: "Even Prince Ling, before he met me, thought that he would never stand up again in this life."

"But now, not only has he stood up, he can also lead troops to fight again."

"So Brother Pan, there are no absolutes in this world! Your father and grandfather died of this disease because they didn't have a cousin with superb medical skills!"

"But you are different. Not only do you have a cousin with superb medical skills, but you also have a cousin who is devoted to you and is waiting for you to come home."

"We won't let you die! Just trust me, okay?"

Mo Xiujin was silent for a moment and then changed the subject: "Are you coming to Yangzhou this time to cure the plague before leaving? Or are you leaving the imperial doctors here?"

Shen Dongsu understood what he meant, and it was probably spread among the people in Yangzhou. At first, they didn't believe that Princess Ling would come.

Just like the people in the Chang'an restricted area didn't believe she would go.

Now that we know that Princess Ling is really here, rumors have begun again that Princess Ling is just like an imperial envoy for disaster relief, just to show her face.

She would definitely not stay to control the plague. After all, life in the disaster area was too hard and torturous. She was a royal princess, how could she do such a thing?

The people in the restricted area said the same thing at the beginning. They felt that she was just going around to gain a good reputation and would definitely not do anything practical.

Fortunately, in the end, she used special medicine and cured all the patients in the restricted area, which was a resounding slap in the face to those who had laughed at her before.

Now, she told Mo Xiujin equally firmly: "I am here this time. I will not leave until the plague in Jiangnan is cleared."

"If the treatment is not completed in one year, I will stay here for one year. If the treatment is not completed in three years, I will stay here for three years."

Mo Xiujin looked at her and said softly: "I knew that Dong Su hadn't changed."

Shen Dongsu understood the meaning of his words. She was still Dongsu who was born as a peasant girl and had not been changed by the big dyeing vat in Chang'an.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Of course she hasn't changed. Even though Ling Moxiao confessed his affection to her, she still believed that her job was to be a doctor, and she came here to spread medical skills and help the world.

Not for the love of a man or for a superior status.

The identity of Princess Ling is only her help, not her shackles.

"In this way, when you are in Jiangnan, I will stay by your side to help you control the plague." Mo Xiujin said softly.

Shen Dongsu was very unhappy with this answer. If she hadn't pitied him for being so sick, she would have pushed him away.

"Did you still think about leaving just once you saw me?"

Mo Xiujin was silent, Shen Dongsu guessed correctly!

Soon Mo Xiujin added that he had previously lurked among the Lu family rebels to prevent others from discovering his relationship with the princess.

So he changed his appearance and became a cashier who came with the princess, and Yue Jian helped him make the disguise.

As soon as Shen Dongsu arrived in Yangzhou City, he participated in the trial of the rebel case together with the prefect and other officials.

She said directly: "As long as the case is heard by the prefect, if the memorial requires my signature, I will sign it."

"Now, let me go to the restricted area to see the patients."

The prefect was very happy to see this beautiful and dignified Princess Ling, who was not pretentious at all and did not have the common problems of noble people.

He was really afraid, the princess was not here to cure the plague.

But if you come to Bomei Ming, if you don't know anything and give random orders, it will only make the situation in the city worse.

Now it seems that the princess is very sober. She is only responsible for treating patients and does not interfere in the political affairs of the city.

Shen Dongsu only mentioned one thing: as soon as the rebel case is found out, the leaders should be beheaded in front of the people as soon as possible.

It can not only serve as a warning to others, but also prevent the incident from spreading to Chang'an and letting the people behind it know.

If someone proposes to transfer the case to Chang'an for trial, the leaders are afraid that the death penalty will be changed to a reprieve. Maybe they will change their appearance and be free without even having to go to jail.

Of course, she didn't say it so clearly, she just mentioned it tactfully, saying that if such a disaster is left for one more day, the risk will be one more day.

The prefect immediately understood what the princess meant. These people had been causing trouble in Yangzhou for so long, so of course the prefect supported killing them immediately!

Therefore, when the case was first tried and the excerpts were written, I immediately thought that to appease the people, I would not wait until the end of the autumn to ask for execution, and for the crime of rebellion, I could be executed on the spot.

He didn't care who he offended or who he offended. Ever since he killed Mr. Lu, he had been tied to the emperor and had no chance of surrendering to the nobles.

After the third son of Lu was beheaded in public, Yangzhou ushered in the second wave of beheadings of gentry sons.

No matter how the rebel leaders shouted before being led to the execution platform: "My uncle is the Duke of such-and-such a country!"

"My aunt is the princess of the country!"

"You dare to kill me! Do you know who my aunt is?"

……

The clamor was so noisy that the magistrate directly responded with one sentence: "Mr. Lu's aunt is still the Queen Mother!"

"No matter how tough your background is, can you beat him?"

Upon hearing this, these people understood that no matter how many people promised before committing the crime, once the matter failed, their guarantee would be a blank piece of paper.

It doesn't work at all! They are really going to die!

Some people began to cry and beg, give him a chance, and he was willing to atone for his sins.

It's a pity that the prefect doesn't need them, they can't do any good, and they will be a disaster if they stay, so they are cut down in public.

Only those people who were bewitched by them will fully understand that the court can still be trusted.

There are more people watching secretly, and they have given up on taking the opportunity to cause chaos in Yangzhou.

Soon, rivers of blood flowed from the execution ground.

Mo Xiujin hid in the crowd again and watched as all the rebels who knew his identity were killed.

He left with peace of mind, turned around and went to the restricted area to listen to Shen Dongsu's instructions.
