The happy life of the devil and the devil

Is the big hunt important or the son important?

If the only son was sick, Yuan Shao would definitely run back without even thinking about it.The first prince who was regarded as the jewel in his palm got smallpox, so he abandoned all government affairs, and guarded the child for twelve days without leaving his feet. It's a pity that the child was not lucky after all, so he couldn't make it through and swallowed in his arms. He took his last breath.

But now the crown prince and Kang Wang have grown up, and only the youngest son has smallpox.Ling Yucheng is a reliable person, and he will definitely do his best to the little guy. With him, Yuan Shao doesn't need to leave those princes and patriarchs who can only come once a year, and let the whole big hunting start hastily. it's over.

"I'll leave it to you, Lang'er." Yuan Shao pondered for a moment before making a decision: "You can adjust the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, and you can take all the medicinal materials from the imperial pharmacy in the palace. If you need anything, Let me know anytime."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, my subordinate, please take care of me." Ling Yucheng got up and saluted, and walked out quickly.Yuan Shao heard him keep issuing orders from across the tent: "Blow the trumpet to gather people, let He Liu take the bodyguards and follow me, one person and two horses, day and night, and set off in a moment. Ask Yang Qiu to follow, arrange a The small team specially took him on the road. The remaining people were led by Xi Jun, who should do what they should do here, and let him command the final three days of competition..."

The sound gradually faded away, without hesitation, the high-pitched horn pierced the sky, and horseshoes came from all directions like thunder.

The Xuanjia Guards in the hunting ground originally had 500 troops, of which 500 were brought from the capital and never changed by Ling Yucheng's side, and 1000 were brought from Qingzhou. And the batch of rotations in Beijing.At this moment, Ling Yucheng was in a hurry to return to Beijing, and hurried on the road with only his bodyguards. The last nine-and-white hunt of the big hunt could only be handled by Xi Jun.

It was already sunset when I hurried back to the capital.Some of the subordinates who had been staying in the capital were waiting eagerly at the gates of the various cities. When they saw the large black flag wrapped in smoke and dust, they rushed forward and reported loudly:

"My lord, the eleventh prince is recovering from illness in the military residence, please come back quickly, my lord!"

Ling Yucheng's eyes froze slightly, he nodded immediately, turned his horse's head and went straight to the military mansion.In front of the small courtyard where Xiao Shiyi was ill, he got off his horse, took a bucket of well water and poured it on his head.The courtyard is filled with the smell of vinegar and charcoal. Stepping into the main room, there is a small person surrounded by a tall canopy bed. Shocking, the little face that usually looks like it is dripping powder and rubbing crisps is completely out of shape.

"Lang'er." Without looking at the silent figure at the head of the bed, Ling Yucheng stepped to the head of the bed, and carefully held the pair of small hands that were also full of pimples.The little guy was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that Ling Yucheng would appear in front of him, he tried to open his eyes wide for a while, and then burst into tears with a "wow":

"Master—"

After several days of suffering from illness, panic and fear, now there is finally an opening to vent, the little guy rushed over, if Ling Yucheng hadn't stopped him in time, his whole face would have been buried in his arms.At this moment, he was half sitting and half leaning in Ling Yucheng's arms, sobbing and crying, and soon he was choked up, wrapped in the quilt around his body, and the big dark green flowers were wetted black:

"Master, I hurt..."

"Master, I'm very itchy..."

"Master, I'm so hot...they are all sick, I'm so scared, master, please don't go..."

Ling Yucheng sat on the head of the bed, hugged the hot little body of the little apprentice in his arms, and gently shook it back and forth.Looking at him carefully under the light, his cheeks were flushed, his pink lips were dry and cracked, and the pimples on his face and hands were finely divided, and even a little pale, his heart sank immediately.

It's just that this thought must never be revealed in front of the child, Ling Yucheng softly comforted him while thinking, not long after, Yang Qiu rushed in with steaming steam on his head, with wet hair, and squatted beside the bed to check the little guy's pulse.After pouring down a bowl of hot medicine, the little guy's eyelids drooped after a while, and he stubbornly held one of Ling Yucheng's fingers, refusing to let go even in his sleep.

... I remember that when this child hadn't accepted him as a teacher, he was obviously afraid, but he would hold back his tears when he drank it, and he didn't cry in panic when he killed many people in front of his rolling stick.Now that he is one year older, he has read a book, has a companion, and learned how to deal with things and how to manage, but he will cry like this in front of him...

This child is much closer and more dependent on him.

Ling Yucheng sat by the bed the whole time, patiently waiting for Xiao Shiyi to fall asleep, listening to his breathing change from messy to even, and then tentatively and quietly pulled out his fingers.As soon as he moved, his little brows frowned, Ling Yucheng had to pat him gently, waited for another quarter of an hour, and then tiptoed out of the main room, and sat down opposite Yang Qiu in the East Wing.

"How is Langer's illness?"

"...It's okay." Yang Qiu thought about his words, and finally decided to erase all the professional terms, and went straight to the topic: "Looking at the previous pulse case and prescription, I was delayed by quack doctors in the first few days, and first treated it as a cold. , the acne didn't come out smoothly, and then I gave hot medicine, which made the appearance superficial but the truth. The acne couldn't come out, and the fever couldn't go away. Fortunately, the doctor who came today is still a sensible person, and the way to prescribe the medicine is right, sir The Lord’s background is also good, and now the acne has begun to appear. As long as the acne is sufficient, and the next high fever passes, everything will be fine.”

Were you delayed by quack doctors... Ling Yucheng's heart tightened, and he nodded calmly: "In this case, I will leave Lang'er's illness to you. If you want manpower, medicinal materials, or anything, just say , I just want Langer to be safe and sound!"

"Don't worry, adults!"

Ling Yucheng nodded, got up and left the room.As soon as the door opened, a graceful figure flashed out of the main room, followed Ling Yucheng into the west chamber, and knelt down in front of him without saying a word.

"Let's talk." Looking down at the female official who had taken care of his apprentice for almost two years and whom he had told Yuan Shao to point out to his subordinates, Ling Yucheng's face sank like water, and his voice became cold unconsciously:

"Why did Lang'er leave the palace?"

"Report to my lord." Hongxiu bowed to the ground and straightened up gracefully.Ling Yucheng sat on the top and looked at her calmly. She saw that her clothes were neatly trimmed, but her skirt and cuffs were stained with medicine, her eyes were bloodshot, and there was a thick shadow lingering under her eyelids. At a glance, I stayed up at least one night.

After a glance, he nodded secretly in his heart, but his face still didn't loosen in the slightest, still a daunting solemnity.This face is ordinary, even if there is no ghost in his heart, he will be a little timid, but Hongxiu meets his four eyes without avoiding it, his eyes are clear, and his answering voice is also calm and calm:

"Six days ago, His Royal Highness' companion Dalutie suddenly had a high fever. After being seen by a doctor, he was told it was a cold, and he was asked to rest at home. Five days ago, His Highness' companion Daur suddenly had a high fever, and he also moved out of the palace to recuperate. Bu Ming asked for leave because of a fever and did not enter the palace. Four days ago, His Highness was still fine when he woke up, but he had a fever at noon. But the doctor said that His Highness just caught a cold.

"Did you tell him about those companions?"

"The maidservant said it. The imperial physician replied that it's hot and cold now. His Highness and his companions are practicing martial arts and diligently. The wind and cold are inherently extreme, and it is common to have a fever occasionally—"

Ling Yucheng smiled coldly.It is common for a person to have a fever. In three days, nine children fell ill and five fell ill. Can it be called normal?Dare to make such a diagnosis, the imperial physician cannot be prevaricated by a quack doctor at all, it is clear that there is a ghost in his heart!

"and then?"

"This servant does not know medical skills, and I don't know whether what the imperial physician said is true or false. For the first two days, His Highness took the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and the temperature dropped a little. On the third day, the fever subsided a little, and symptoms began to appear on the head and face. The rash, the imperial doctor changed his words and said it was smallpox. The slave girl asked him why he didn’t say it before, and he plausibly said that it looked like wind and cold in front of him, and he didn’t mean to be timid. The slave girl couldn’t tell whether his prescription was appropriate, but the slave girl felt that he The tone is wrong—"

"So, you don't have any evidence, just because you think it's wrong, you took Lang'er out of the palace on your own initiative? Smallpox patients can't see the wind, you don't know, and the imperial doctor didn't tell you!"

"My lord, this servant dare not risk His Highness's life."

"So, it was your idea to take Lang'er out of the palace?"

"Reporting to my lord, it is true. As soon as the imperial physician left, the servants carried His Highness to the Jinshen Hall. Fortunately, the guards guarding the Jiaming Gate did not dare to stop them very much. The guards of the lord were alarmed and came out to respond, so that the servants came out smoothly. After that, It was also the servant who persuaded General Ding, who was guarding the Jinshen Hall, to lead someone to protect His Highness out of the palace, and at the same time send a letter to the lord—"

In just a few sentences, I have tried to understate as much as possible, but the critical situation at that time can already be imagined.However, her answer was different from what Ding Bai said. Whether it was because she felt that she was the person in charge who was left in the capital by Ling Yucheng, or because she felt that as a big man, it was too unkind to let his fiancée in the same robe take responsibility. The letter repeatedly stated that all decisions were made by him alone!

Regardless of whether he knew what was said in the letter or not, he dared to take responsibility in front of him... Last time he saw the kindness and wisdom of this girl, but this time, her courage and determination made him even more impressed.

"I see." Ling Yucheng finally suppressed the serious expression between his brows, and raised his hand to signal. "You are Xi Jun's fiancée, you don't need to call yourself a slave in front of me - get up and sit down."

"Thank you for your grace."

Hongxiu bowed up again and sat sideways.Ling Yucheng looked at her staggering but still calm movements with cold eyes, and sighed sincerely:

"It's really a blessing for that boy Xi Jun to have such a wife."

"Don't dare to be an adult to praise. ——My lord, when I came out of Jiaming Palace, I also brought the prescriptions and medicine residues that His Highness has taken these days, and they have been handed over to General Ding to seal them up. I asked General Ding to inquire about it yesterday. Among the eight companions who followed His Highness, the four who had fallen ill all had symptoms of smallpox. I begged Lord Ding to take the two children who were born as slaves. I also asked Sir to forgive me for making my own opinion. "

"No, you've done a good job." Ling Yucheng's evaluation of the female officer was higher, "I forgot to ask you just now, are you taking care of Lang'er these days?"

"Yes. Your Highness cannot be without someone reliable to take care of him. After all, the man is careless, so the concubine can only stay with her outside without avoiding suspicion."

"Have you had smallpox before?"

"No, but—"

"Go back and rest." Ling Yucheng interrupted her without hesitation, "Ask Ding Bai's wife to find you a clean room, and have your meals and drinks delivered to the door. Except for the doctor who comes to check your pulse, don't see him for the next half a month Anyone. Lang'er is here, and I'm here."

"grown ups?"

"Go."

Knowing that Ling Yucheng will definitely take care of his disciples when he comes back, and also knowing that he, the fiancée of his confidant subordinate, is not suitable to be in the same room with Ling Yucheng, Hongxiu can only stand up and leave as promised.Ling Yucheng sat there by himself in a daze for a while, finally got up and went into the main room, sat on the side of Little Eleven's bed and stared at the child's slender eyebrows, reaching out his hand to his forehead from time to time to see if the temperature had dropped. .

No major epidemic broke out in the capital, and five out of nine children fell down. This is definitely not a coincidence, someone definitely did it deliberately... But, by what means and who is behind the scenes?

Also, to what extent can he pursue it.
