princess is fine

After Xiao Rongcan was ordered by the emperor to go to the border, as expected, the four princes of the Northern Wei Dynasty stationed on the Linghe line had already sent troops to the south. Fortunately, Daliang's army had already made preparations to give the Northern Wei army a head start.

Only in this way, the peace that the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty had carefully maintained for decades was finally broken, but because the national strength of the two countries was equal, neither side dared to make too much changes.Therefore, although the two countries have continued to have disputes over the past three years, they have not shaken their roots after all.

Xiao Rongcan's experience in the army made it easier for Xiao Rongxuan to learn about the news in the army.He is also very clear about the Zhou family's movements. These three years are enough for him to have his own place in the imperial court by relying on the power accumulated by the emperor's sister and the slowly developing contacts.

When the border war gradually calmed down, there was an urgent report from Xuanzhou that a small epidemic had broken out in Dongshan, Xuanzhou, and Xiao Rongxuan was ordered to deal with the matter after he played the Emperor Yonghe.

Xuanzhou is located in the southwest, with hot flashes in spring and summer, and frequent epidemics.According to the rules over the years, Xiao Rongxuan sent several medical officers from the Imperial Hospital to investigate the epidemic situation, and ordered the various ministries in Xuanzhou to cooperate in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading.

Because there was an epidemic in this place, the local people have a lot of preventive measures, and the government also provides specific subsidies so that the local people can consult doctors immediately to prevent the outbreak of the plague here.So Xiao Rongxuan didn't care too much.Unexpectedly, the medical officers went for half a month, but none of them came back.

This epidemic seems to be more serious than previous ones.When Xiao Rongxuan realized this, Emperor Yonghe had already seen the memorial, Long Yan was furious, and fined him to kneel at the door of the imperial study for half a day, and was confined for three months.

Fortunately, although the epidemic is serious, it has not yet spread widely. Therefore, the government ordered the blockade of Dongshan County and strictly prohibited the entry and exit of the population, so it was barely controlled.

At this time, the Zhou family's class teacher returned to the court, and Xiao Rongxuan's situation was unpredictable for a while. Just when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were about to feel that the prospective prince had committed a crime of rage, Emperor Yonghe summoned Xiao Rongxuan into the palace again, and spared him. Grounded.

Just when this series of changes made Baiguan look dumbfounded, outside Jian'an City, a seemingly inconspicuous carriage had already driven towards Xuanzhou.

"I'm afraid the matter in Xuanzhou is not just as simple as the plague. Even if I don't plead for you, the emperor has his own plans." Before leaving, Xiao Rongjin said to Xiao Rongxuan: "Rong Can just returned to Beijing recently, and you have something to do with it." Too much. Both of them are not suitable, so I might as well go out and relax."

Xiao Rongxuan gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine if we investigate some corrupt officials, but that's a plague..."

"Do you think I'm so willing to risk my life to get into that epidemic place?" Xiao Rongjin smiled slightly: "Relax and go back."

……

When we arrived outside Xuanzhou City that day, Xiao Rongjin wanted to go directly to see the Xuanzhou magistrate, but after meeting two people on the road, he changed his mind a little.

Before she arrived in Xuanzhou City, she changed into a man's dress.After arranging accommodation, he went downstairs from the inn, and sure enough, he met those two people again.

"Master He, Mr. Lu." Xiao Rongjin slightly bowed his hands in greeting.

Those two were exactly He Daishan, the spirit of Lanxi County, and the guest who mentioned the epidemic situation in Dongshan at the tea shop.That guest is naturally not a mortal.Daliang followed ancient etiquette and respected literati, and there were several highly respected contemporary Confucian scholars in the contemporary era. Even Emperor Yonghe was courteous when he met such a scholar.

And this Mr. Lu is the disciple of Mr. Qiu, one of those great Confucians. He is open-minded by nature and doesn't like the rich and powerful.

When Xiao Rongjin was young, Mr. Qiu was invited to give lectures in the palace. He once met this Mr. Lu, so when he was on the road, when he met this gentleman, he took a closer look.And invited with tea.However, Xiao Rongjin did not disclose her identity. She was dressed in men's clothes, she was gentle and handsome, and her words were gentle and polite, which made the two of them feel good about her.

At this time, we met again in this inn, and He Daishan couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "I met my little brother twice a day, it must be a fate destined by heaven, just now you invited me and Brother Lu to have tea, at this time, my two friends How about someone buying you a drink?"

Both of them are literati, and their drinking is nothing more than sweet and soft peach blossom wine, which is not very intoxicating.

Xiao Rongjin wanted to make friends, so naturally he would not refuse, even if they sat on the side, the three of them exchanged cups, and they had a very happy conversation.

After just a few glasses of sake, the smile on He Daishan's face has faded, replaced by a look of sadness, and a trace of hesitation flashed through his eyes that have experienced many vicissitudes: "Oh, I am so lucky to drink here, but I don't know that the people of Dongshan ..."

Hearing this, Mr. Lu put down his wine cup, and comforted him, "A few days ago, someone from the medicine house went to Dongshan County. The people in the medicine house have excellent medical skills. The epidemic in Dongshan will definitely be brought under control. Brother He, don't worry too much." ..."

When Xiao Rongjin heard the word Yaolu, doubts floated in Xingxing's eyes, but before she could ask, Master He Daishan He sighed quietly: "It's sad and sad, this time the epidemic is over, what about the next time?" , Xuanzhou these years..." He seemed to want to say something, but felt that the situation was inappropriate, so he stopped talking, patted himself on the forehead and said, "Hey, I can't drink too much, just a few drinks. My brain is about to go dizzy." He waved his hands as he said, "I'm getting old, and even drinking is useless."

These words are not like the words of a fainted person.The matter of the Xuanzhou epidemic is really not simple... Xiao Rongjin remained calm, drank the wine in the glass, and his eyes fell slightly on He Daishan. This county magistrate should know something.

……

Although there must be some shady secrets behind the Xuanzhou incident, the most urgent task is to ascertain the current situation of the epidemic situation in Dongshan County.

Xiao Rongjin had some considerations in her mind. At this moment, she was dubious about Xie Chongyi, the magistrate of Xuanzhou, in the memorial. Naturally, she would not take the initiative to come to reveal her identity. Instead, she went to Dongshan County directly after resting at the inn for one night.

Although Dongshan County is under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou, it is still some distance away from Xuanzhou City. Although Xiao Rongjin brought a small team with him on this trip, they were all stationed outside Xuanzhou City. On the surface as an imperial envoy, but the pace is naturally much slower.On the way to Dongshan County, she and Zhiqin who accompanied her pretended to be brothers visiting relatives, and the two guards were still dressed as servants.

When they got outside Dongshan County, they saw a long fence built and several officers and soldiers guarded it. When they saw a group of them coming, they stepped forward to question them.

Xiao Rongjin said the words he had thought up before, and the officer and soldier snorted coldly: "Don't you know about the outbreak of the Dongshan epidemic? When you come to visit relatives at this time, are you going to meet with Lord Yan?"

Xiao Rongjin frowned slightly, and Zhiqin had already stepped forward: "Brother Guan, my two brothers didn't know that there was an epidemic in Dongshan County before they came here, but now that we have arrived, we can't just turn back like this," she took a step forward: "My two brothers are also worried that something will happen to their relatives. If something really happens, maybe they can help." As he said, he had already stuffed a few ingots of broken silver into the hands of the officer and soldier.

The officer weighed the money in his hand, looked at the brother next to him and said with a smile: "Master, this is the first time I have seen someone eager to die, but since you miss your relatives, go in, just remember not to go south of the city, That's the sick place, the place where the epidemic is the worst."

With that said, they have been let in.

Knowing that she had entered the city, Zhiqin said a little depressed: "Your Highness, the epidemic situation in Dongshan is so serious, but the officers and soldiers..." Xiao Rongjin glanced at her, then looked at the somewhat desolate street, and then slowly said: "This is to come in, If you want to court death, naturally no one will intervene. Presumably, if you go out, it will not be so simple."

The two guards led the horse and walked slowly behind. Seeing this quiet street, they couldn't help feeling a little sad.

After walking for a while, I saw an inn.

When Xiao Rongjin entered, the shopkeeper lying on the counter was startled, rubbed his eyes again and shouted: "The guest officer is the doctor who came to rescue the emergency? The county magistrate said that the doctor will live in the county office Ah, this small shop of mine may not be able to entertain customers."

Xiao Rongjin shook her head: "I'm not a doctor, you clean a few houses yourself, and you don't need to entertain the rest." Saying that, the guards took the money and put it on the table.

Since the outbreak of the plague, the shopkeeper has never seen any guests enter the door.Although he was also panicked in his heart, this inn was the foundation of his ancestors, so he gave up and fled Dongshan County without giving up.He just asked his wife and children to pack up the things and go back to her mother's house first. He guarded the family business alone, hoping that the plague would pass quickly.

After the shopkeeper cleaned up the room, the guards had already boiled hot water, and Zhiqin boiled all the utensils before he dared to ask Xiao Rongjin to sit down and rest for a while.

Xiao Rongjin looked worried and panicked after seeing her busy, and finally said: "We won't stay here for long, don't be afraid."

Zhiqin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid, maidservant, it's just that when I got up and left, I forgot to tell Zhihua that the clothes I sewed for her were put in the cabinet."

Xiao Rongjin looked up at Zhiqin: "You and her..."

Zhiqin hurriedly lowered her head, looked aside: "Maid, please go to see other rooms to clean up." After saying that, she even forgot to salute and left the room.

Leaving Xiao Rongjin alone in the room, watching a figure suddenly appear out of nothingness, he said to her with a smile, "I want to accompany His Highness for the rest of my life..."

She blinked, and the man had disappeared.

Xiao Rongjin stood up and walked out of the room.

The moment she went out, the sun shone directly on Xiao Rongjin's body, she called a guard, got into the carriage and walked towards the south of the city.

Along the way, she looked at the people of Daliang, hunched over, not daring to get close to others, and at the people lying on the side of the road. The dark scenes were like rotten dead things, emitting a strange smell. smell.The closer you get to the sick place, the more serious the evil spirit will be.

Just when Xiao Rongjin thought that he would see a more serious scene in the sick house, he stopped in front of the memorial arch of the sick house.

The patients in the sick relocation workshop were obviously more serious, and part of the reason why Xiao Rongjin stopped was because he was stopped at the door.

Another part of the reason is because...

She looked straight at a figure standing beside the patient, her hair was neatly pulled up, she looked a little thin, but not weak.

She didn't know why, but when her eyes fell on that person, she couldn't look away.

At this moment, the man seemed to be aware of this gaze, turned around, and looked towards Xiao Rongjin.

Xiao Rongjin looked at the person whose face was covered with a white silk scarf. She couldn't see her face or expression clearly, but she fell into those black and white eyes...

For a moment, Xiao Rongjin suddenly felt that this glance was worth the time that he hadn't seen for three years.

The author has something to say:

coming!

The writing of the plague place is a bit disturbing, everything is fabricated, if you feel that the plot is unreasonable, you can shoot bricks, but do it lightly, because it hurts π_π

Thank you Xiaoshengjiong and Mr. Dousha for your landmines, meh!
