my lord lord

Chapter 50

"Cough cough cough-"

The coughing in the carriage continued intermittently.

"Look at you, I told you not to go soak, don't go soak, but you didn't listen, now it's better, you've caught the cold!" Although Wei Zhi blamed him, he still didn't change his concern between words.

When passing by Yizhou yesterday, Pei Shu heard that there was a natural hot spring on the mountain, so he became very interested, regardless of Wei Zhi's advice, he insisted on trying it out.

In the end, he learned a painful lesson. Pei Shu was so dizzy with coughing now, and his intestines were green with regret.

"I don't want to either! Cough cough—" Without saying a few words, he started coughing again.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." Wei Zhi carried Pei Shu on his back worriedly, and then handed her water, "Come on, drink some water."

Wei Zhi was very anxious, only looking forward to arriving at the next place as soon as possible, then he hurriedly called a doctor for Pei Shu to have a look, seeing that Pei Shu had such a severe cough, it really made her unbearable.

Open the curtain and look outside, it's still early, "It should be almost to Chang County."

"If it doesn't happen any longer, I'm afraid the princess will die of coughing on the road!" Pei Shu breathed a sigh of relief, leaning on the car, feeling miserable.

"Don't say such bad words! Just bear with it, we'll be there soon." Wei Zhi raised his hand to brush away the messy hair on Pei Shu's forehead.

At sunset, Wei Zhi and Pei Shu finally arrived in Changxing County.

This should have been a happy thing, but Wei Zhi's brows frowned even more after looking out the window.

"What's the matter?" Pei Shu covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and asked.

"It feels abnormal here." Wei Zhi said uneasy.

"But someone is plotting something wrong?" Pei Shu's gaze was like a sword, and he became extremely vigilant.

"No. I just took a look. The streets here are sparsely populated, and few shops are open. It's abnormally cold." Wei Zhi was puzzled, and a bad premonition gradually permeated his heart.

"Maybe it's because it's getting late." Pei Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and didn't take it seriously. He just thought it was because people had gone home early to warm their kangs.

"The sun hasn't set yet!" Wei Zhi disagreed.

"Don't think too much, first settle down at the county magistrate's mansion." Pei Shu coughed twice after finishing speaking.

Wei Zhi stopped talking and concentrated on taking care of Pei Shu.In just one day, she felt that Pei Shu's condition had deteriorated a lot, and his pale face made people feel distressed.

Before dark, the carriage finally arrived at the county magistrate's mansion.

The boy driving the car presented the token of the county lord to the people in the county magistrate's mansion, and the three of them were welcomed in obediently.

It's just that the county magistrate is not in the mansion. According to the housekeeper, he is busy with business in the mansion.

The housekeeper, Uncle Wu, enthusiastically arranged meals and housing for Pei Shu and Wei Zhi.

"The princess and the county horse have worked hard all the way. I have already ordered to prepare dinner and rooms for the two of you." Uncle Wu said kindly.

"Thank you." Wei Zhi nodded to Uncle Wu.

While Wei Zhi was talking to Uncle Wu, Pei Shu coughed again, so Wei Zhi hurriedly poured her a cup of hot water.

"Uncle Wu, I have to trouble you to call a doctor for the princess. The princess caught a cold yesterday, caught a cold, and coughed for a whole day today. Quickly invite the doctor to come and take a few medicines." Wei Zhi While giving Pei Shu the back, he said to Uncle Wu.

But Uncle Wu's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said in panic: "I'm afraid it's not easy to invite the doctor right now!"

"Why?" Wei Zhi was puzzled.

"Hey, the princess and the county horse are here for the first time, so I don't know. There has been a plague in our county recently, and it has been more than half a month. There are too many casualties. Not only are people in panic, but medical resources are in short supply. Many pharmacies dare not open the door, and several doctors have died because of this plague. Now not only the people are afraid, but the doctors are also afraid!" Uncle Wu sighed and described to Pei Shu and Wei Zhi, "My lord is because of this plague. I will discuss the solution with my colleagues in the government office."

Wei Zhi and Pei Shu's mood suddenly became heavy at this moment.Not only because of the severe epidemic situation in Chang County, but also because of this special juncture, Pei Shu's wind and cold may not be treated in time.

"The princess is just suffering from a common wind-cold disease caused by catching a cold. Please ask Uncle Wu and the doctor to explain and ask him to come over and have a look." Wei Zhi emphasized.

Uncle Wu showed a look of embarrassment, and asked respectfully: "Then may I ask, besides cough, does the Princess have any other symptoms?"

Wei Zhi and Uncle Wu looked at Pei Shu together.

"It's just a bad cough, a little dizzy and weak, and I often feel dry mouth." Pei Shu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief after coughing, and said.

Uncle Wu frowned even harder, he hesitated to speak a few times, he couldn't speak.

"Does Uncle Wu have anything to say?" Wei Zhi saw Uncle Wu's hesitation and asked.

Uncle Wu sighed, and said tiredly: "To be honest with the princess and the county horse, the symptoms of this plague... are mainly cough, fever and weakness of limbs..."

Speaking of this, Uncle Wu's face showed a little more fear, and he began to subconsciously pay attention to the space distance between himself and Pei Shu and Wei Zhi.

"Impossible!" Pei Shu clapped the case suddenly, his voice suddenly loud and powerful, "You doubt that the princess is infected with the plague? Oh, ridiculous! The princess started coughing before entering Chang County, how could she be infected with the plague?"

Uncle Wu hastily knelt down to admit his mistake, and flattered Pei Shu: "It's the villain's inappropriate words, please forgive me, princess!"

Pei Shu was so angry that he coughed again, he was out of breath, and his face turned white and red.

"Don't be angry, watch your body carefully!" Wei Zhi patted Pei Shu's back worriedly, and turned to send Uncle Wu away, "Okay, Uncle Wu, go and find a doctor for the princess."

After hearing Wei Zhi's words, Uncle Wu withdrew quickly as if he had received a gift.

It's just that after Uncle Wu left the county magistrate's mansion, he didn't go to the doctor, but went to the mansion first, and reported the matter to the county magistrate.

Wei Zhi took care of Pei Shu for dinner. After eating some food, Pei Shu's condition was much better than during the day, at least the cough was not so severe.

But the two still received strange looks at the county magistrate's mansion.Although the servants still served them respectfully, they couldn't help showing awe in some small movements, as if there was something harmful about them.

Both of them knew very well that everyone in the house was afraid of them, because Pei Shu's condition was so similar to the symptoms of this plague, who wouldn't be afraid of death?

Now they only hope that Uncle Wu will invite the doctor here sooner. Only when the doctor gets his pulse and confirms that Pei Shu is just a common cold and not a plague, can everyone let go of their grudges.

But until Haishi, neither Langzhong nor Uncle Wu came.

Pei Shu's patience is not very good, and this time it happened to be sick again, and after waiting for such a long time in anxiety, her dissatisfaction reached a very high point.

"Is it so difficult to find a doctor!" Pei Shu slapped the table angrily, as if he wanted to smash it into pieces.

As soon as the roar was over, a cough followed, and Pei Shu's face flushed instantly due to the violent coughing.

"Should be back soon, wait a little longer. You are sick now, don't get angry easily. Look, you're coughing again!" Wei Zhi poured Pei Shu a glass of water, and looked at Pei Shu with distress.

"Could that guy run away because he's afraid of death?" Pei Shu drank his saliva and said.

"No way, isn't he the steward of the county magistrate's mansion? How could he run away casually!" Wei Zhi's brain seemed to have been hit with a mallet, and he also wondered in his heart that Uncle Wu would not be afraid of the plague. Shall I go to the doctor?

This thought was too dark, Wei Zhi quickly interrupted her own mean thought, she didn't believe that Uncle Wu would dare to do such a deceitful thing, after all, the person who ordered him was Princess Yanning.

"How about it, princess, you take a good rest in your room, I'll go out and have a look." Wei Zhi thought about it and decided.

"Don't go." Pei Shu took Wei Zhi's hand, "Wait a little longer, it's too risky outside, it's safer for you to stay in your room."

"Alright then." Wei Zhi held Pei Shu's hand instead, feeling a strong emotion in his heart.The princess is suffering from serious illness now, but she never forgets to care about her. How can she not be moved by this!

Not long after the words were finished, Lou Xiancheng, who had finished his official duties, came to visit.

"Princess, Jun Ma, please wait patiently. The officer has already sent someone to urge the doctor, and I believe he will be back soon." The young Louxian Prime Minister said, but intentionally kept some distance from Pei Shu.

"Soon? The princess has been waiting for two hours!" Pei Shu sarcastically said.

"I'm really sorry for keeping the princess waiting for so long. But the current situation is really helpless. The princess also knows that the current plague is rampant, the supply of medicines is insufficient, and people who are proficient in medical skills are even scarcer." It was a look of concern for the country and the people, "Today, the officials and colleagues have written to the county again, asking for additional material support. I only hope that this disaster can be overcome as soon as possible."

Lou Xiancheng's heartfelt words made Pei Shu and Wei Zhi unable to find fault, and Pei Shu could not lose his anger.

"Did the epidemic occur only in Chang County, but did it happen in other places?" Wei Zhi asked curiously.

"Not found yet." Lou Xiancheng shook his head.

"Then have you found the source of this disease?" Wei Zhi continued to ask.

"No." Lou Xiancheng shook his head helplessly.

"That's tricky." Wei Zhi said frowning.If it is allowed to develop, it is not impossible for the whole city to be wiped out, it is too terrifying!

"Princess—jun horse—my lord." Uncle Wu finally ran back in a hurry, saw the county magistrate, and saluted the magistrate.

"Where's the doctor you hired?" Lou Xiancheng asked in a cold voice without looking behind Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu knelt down on the ground with a plop, and begged for mercy: "The villain failed to invite the doctor, please forgive me, the princess!"

"Bold!" Pei Shu yelled at the case again, angrily, "It's unreasonable, the princess asked him to come, and he dared not come!"

"The princess calms down, the princess calms down." Lou Xiancheng said in a panic.

"Calm your anger?" Pei Shu snorted coldly, "I'm not angry, can you cure me?"

Lou Xiancheng was speechless and bowed his head in embarrassment.

Seeing that Pei Shu was angry again, Wei Zhi was afraid that she would not be able to take it anymore, so he took the initiative to put his arms around her shoulders to calm her restless emotions.

"Aren't all the doctors willing to come?" Wei Zhi asked Uncle Wu.

"The villain asked all the doctors in the city, and they all said that the mud bodhisattva would not be able to protect himself from crossing the river, and they would not come no matter what." Even though Uncle Wu had the intention, he could only say helplessly.

"Then you can say that the princess is just an ordinary cold?" Wei Zhi asked anxiously.

"I said it! It's useless!" Uncle Wu said, beating his hands, "They only say that life is the most important thing now, and they won't risk their lives no matter how much money they give."

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!" Pei Shu became more angry, so angry that she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and she couldn't stand on her heels.

"You can invite again, and help the princess to invite the doctor no matter what." Lou Xiancheng said forcefully.

"Tell them, if they don't come, the princess will kill his whole family!" Although Pei Shu was supported by Pei Shu, she still spoke with force and force when she spoke cruel words, which shocked people.
