Pei Gonggui

Seeing that Pei Jun raised his foot and walked out with Hu Li, Pei Yan hurriedly grabbed Pei Jun's arm: "Pei Jun, I want to go too, take me to meet Xuan'er!"

Pei Jun looked at Hu Li when he heard the words, Hu Li frowned and was about to refuse, but Jiang Yue came up from behind and said: "All affairs in the palace are handled by Eunuch Hu, and now there are only a few people entering the palace, Eunuch Hu There must be a way to accommodate."

Hu Li's brows trembled, and he had no choice but to bow and respond as he said: "Your Highness is flattering you." After saying that, he politely urged Pei Jun and Pei Yan, "Then hurry up, the carriage is still waiting outside."

Seeing that Hu Li agreed, Pei Yan quickly wiped her eyes and followed Hu Li.Jiang Yue followed Pei Yan out quickly with Pei Jun, and said in a low voice: "Pei Jun, if Xuan'er really got smallpox as Hu Li said, the most important thing to get out of the palace is to get medical treatment, and this disease is dangerous. It will be passed on to others, and it is necessary to find a cured person to take care of it and isolate it so as not to infect you and your sister. How about this, you two go to the palace in Hu Li's carriage first, and I will go back to the mansion. Someone find some good doctors who are good at treating acne, and I will pick you up outside Si Chongmen later."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Pei Jun sighed, "At this juncture of cutting down the feudal clan——"

"Where is it?" Jiang Yue sent his siblings into the car, held the car door and looked at him, "You said it all, I am also Xuan'er's uncle, this is what should be done." After finishing speaking, he looked at him. To Hu Li in the car, he solemnly warned: "I still hope that Eunuch Hu will take care of you during this trip, so don't make any mistakes."

"Don't dare, don't worry, my lord." Hu Li hurriedly responded to his words and saluted him, and immediately ordered the coachman to set off quickly.

Pei Jun exchanged eyes with Jiang Yue again, mouthed goodbye, and then put down the car curtain and sat down with Pei Yan.

The carriage rattled towards the imperial city with a whip, shaking slightly along the way.Pei Jun let Pei Yan hold his arm tightly, raised his hand and patted the back of Pei Yan's hand, and then stared at the interior of Hu Li's dark brown carriage without saying a word, tracing the folds and wrinkles on it with his eyes. For a moment, I only felt that the memories buried in the depths of consciousness for a long time were gradually emerging from those folds like light smoke of gray dust. Fang's small carriage instantly submerged him in it——

He remembered the first snow after the ninth year of Yuanfeng in his previous life.

It was the first day of official printing and business affairs. Early in the morning, he was gently shaken awake by Hu Li in Jiang Zhan Palace.Before dawn, Hu Li did not disturb Jiang Zhan, but only made a gesture to tell him to get up and go outside. After holding the porcelain cup brought by the eunuch at the side and handing him a mouthwash, he whispered to him: "Lord Pei , The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have just come to find you, saying that they have something important to do."

Pei Jun frowned and asked him while putting on his patched gown and black gauze: "What's so urgent?"

Hu Li hesitated for a while, and didn't answer, he just said: "Feng Shilang is waiting for you in the Ministry of Rites, you will know when you see him."

So Pei Jun put on a sable cloak and hurried out of the hall, propped up the butter paper umbrella handed by the maid, and walked in the brick-red corridor, seeing snowflakes falling from the dome of Haoran.

He walked all the way outside the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites with cold hands and feet, and before he could catch his breath and rub his hands, he saw Feng Jiru guarding the gate of the courtyard with a sad face.

Seeing him coming, Feng Jiru took off his official hat and bowed his head to him and said: "My lord, I heard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that last night..."

"The little prince of Prince Rui's Mansion has passed away."

The snow between heaven and earth became dark at that moment.

A coldness pierced Pei Jun's heart directly from his limbs, causing him to stand on the snowy ground, and the oil umbrella in his hand fell to the ground.

Feng Jiru hurriedly picked up the umbrella for him and put it back up again. He respectfully held it on top of his head, causing his other hand to push open the half-covered gate with copper nails. The hour is approaching, and Prince Rui's Mansion is in a hurry to find us to arrange a coffin for burial, and because the matter concerns the prince's son, the lower officials have no right to make decisions on their own, so we have to invite your lord to come over..."

Pei Jun couldn't hear what he said later.His mind felt like a strong wind was blowing, the mountain rain was coming, and amidst the buzzing, he didn't know how he ordered the man-made carriage frame and the funeral coffin, and he didn't know how he led people to the Ruiwang's mansion. , Rui Wang Jiang Xi was sitting in the chair in the main hall, staring blankly, while the steward at the side saw the arrival of the Ministry of Rites, and only lowered his eyes and said, "My condolences to Mr. Pei", and led him in without saying a word.

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites was waiting in the corridor, and Pei Jun walked into the ear chamber with the steward, and saw a small blue-faced child lying obediently in the brocade quilt on the carved wooden bed. Jacket, with a red-bottomed jade in his mouth, his eyes closed tightly, his appearance was quiet, as if he had fallen asleep.

But these little eyes have not seen many things in the world, but they will never open again.

This was the last time Pei Jun saw Jiang Xuan in his previous life.

……

"Lord Pei, we're here."

Hu Li called Pei Jun back to his senses.

When Pei Jun looked up, the curtain of the carriage had been picked up by the eunuch outside.He helped Pei Yan get off the carriage, looked up at the plain plaque of "Fenglinzhai" on the palace gate in front of him, looked inside the gate, and frowned tightly.

Smallpox, commonly known as acne, medical books say that the patient has sores on the head, face and body, and even after a while, it looks like a fire sore, and they all wear white paste.If it is not treated in time, several symptoms will develop concurrently, and many patients will die if the disease is severe. If the treatment is not done properly, the patient will also have sores and scars all over the body, which will last forever, and may remain permanently ill.

Thinking of this, a horrifying thought came to Pei Jun's mind: Could it be that Jiang Xuan is destined to die young in this life, and still won't survive this year?

Just in a daze, he heard Hu Li's voice beside him: "Master Pei, smallpox is going to be passed on to others, so please put on your epidemic attire before going in."

Pei Jun turned his head and saw that the little eunuch Hu Liling presented him and Pei Yan with a white cloth coverall for epidemic prevention. He immediately understood, and helped each other put it on with Pei Yan, and another person covered himself with a big white cloth mask. Then he followed Hu Li to the Fenglin Zhai.

Fenglinzhai has been neglected for many years, and now it is very old and deserted.Pei Jun and Pei Yan walked to the backyard stepping on the branches and leaves all over the ground, and immediately heard the crying and coughing of a child.

"Xuan'er...Xuan'er!" Pei Yan immediately ran to follow the sound, and Pei Jun hurriedly followed behind her.

The two walked quickly through the curved corridor in the courtyard, and hurried into the wing room where children were crying. As soon as they walked around the screen, they saw Jiang Xuan was being held by two eunuchs on the big bed with plain curtains seven or eight steps away. Feeding medicine in the thin quilt, her little face was flushed from crying, and she was kicking hard at this time and was struggling: "Let me out! I don't want you! Huh——I want my uncle, I want my mother...I want my mother! "

When Pei Yan heard the sound, she paused on the spot, and cried out in an instant: "Xuan'er!" The next moment, she rushed to the bedside and pushed the two eunuchs away, took Jiang Xuan into her arms, and hugged him tightly. Said: "Mother is here, Xuan'er is not afraid, mother is here!"

Jiang Xuan was having a high fever at this time, and when she hugged her, he was taken aback in her arms, and tears dripped down his rash-covered little face, and said, "Mother? Is it really mother? This won't happen again. Is it a dream..."

When Pei Yan heard this, her heart ached like a knife, she held his face, cried and coaxed: "Silly boy, look, who is it?"

Pei Jun walked to Pei Yan's side, raised his hand to straighten the front of Jiang Xuan who was in her arms, and said, "Xuan'er is not afraid, my uncle brought your mother to pick you up."

"Uncle!" Jiang Xuan yelled hoarsely, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He hugged Pei Yan's neck tightly and clasped his hands, as if he never wanted to let go.Pei Yan held back her tears and hugged him to get up, supported by Pei Jun, walked outside, and then walked back to Hu Li's carriage outside Fenglin Zhai.

Hu Li lifted the curtain to let Pei Yan and Jiang Xuan get in the car, and warned Pei Jun again not to forget his help. After hearing Pei Jun's agreement, he lifted the curtain again to let Pei Jun get on.

Not long after, when the carriage arrived at Si Chongmen, the guards wanted to step forward to check, Hu Li raised his hand and flashed his hand card and joked, "It's urgent", so all the guards at the palace gate let them go, and Pei Jun, Pei Yan He and Jiang Xuan went outside the palace.

Pei Jun helped Pei Yan get out of the car, and saw another carriage parked at the corner of the alley ahead, and as soon as he stood still, he saw Mr. Zhao's head protruding from the carriage, and raised his hand to tell them to get on the carriage quickly.

Pei Jun asked Pei Yan to get into the car first, and then got into the car with Jiang Xuan in his arms. He thought Jiang Yue was in the car, but when he got into the car, he saw only Mr. Zhao in the car, and asked, "Where is Prince Jin?"

While putting on the anti-epidemic gown that Mr. Zhao brought with him, he said anxiously: "The prince just returned to the mansion, and the spies came back to report that the princes, the uncles of King Tai and King Fu, escaped from the capital overnight with their families! Right now, the lord is asking the Guo brothers to lead people out of the city to track them down, so he had no choice but to entrust Young Master Mei to help find a doctor who can cure the acne, and asked me to drive to pick you up from the palace, saying that we will go to the Zhongyihou Mansion to meet us later. And will."

Pei Jun frowned when he heard the words: "Tai Wang and the others escaped? Is this escaping and going back to the fief?"

"No, it's really stupid!" Mister Zhao sighed viciously, "They bribed the city guards to let them go, but they didn't know that the city guards took the money on the one hand, but they had to report it to the palace. If the prince hadn't withheld the news about the city guards in the palace, they Isn't this sticking out your head and chopping it off for the palace?"

The two whispered about this matter, and amid Jiang Xuan's coughing along the way, the carriage soon arrived at the Zhongyihou's Mansion.

Dong Shu had all the servants in the house covered in sackcloth and covered their faces, and Mei Linyu was leading the doctor to wait in the main hall.Seeing Pei Jun and Pei Yan returning home, Uncle Dong rushed forward to look at Jiang Xuan who was in Pei Jun's arms. His eyes turned red when he saw him. Tears were about to come down: "Sin, who would have thought that the palace could also be infected with this disease?"

Mei Linyu shook her head and sighed, and pulled Pei Jun's sleeve to bring him in: "Brother, you quickly put aside the child for medical treatment, and Sister Tongyan will wash it off, and if the child is not healed, the adult will get infected again."

Pei Yan took Jiang Xuan from Pei Jun's arms, "I won't go, I want to stay with Xuan'er."

Mei Linyu was in a hurry, stopped in front of her and said: "Sister, two doctors who specialize in treating acne will arrive soon, and I brought a woman who has smallpox to help. They will take care of them, and Uncle Dong and I will also watch , why did you take the risk!"

Pei Jun also persuaded: "Pei Yan, smallpox is a poisonous disease, everyone in this house should be careful, follow me to get herbal medicine to fumigate you. If you keep the sickness and hurt yourself, what are you going to do to take care of Xuan?" Son?"

Pei Yan hesitated for a moment, then listened to the persuasion, Pei Jun asked Dong Shu to hug Jiang Xuan and go to Pei Yan's room first, and then personally ordered the shift servants to stand by, then dragged Pei Yan to find a room to wash and clean, and burned Old clothes were replaced with new ones, and Mother Han burned pots of herbs to fumigate her body up and down until her eyes were astringent and her nose was sore, then she put on a new sackcloth mask and walked to Pei Yan's courtyard.

Pei Yan had already come over before him, and she was guarding outside Jiang Xuan's house with Mei Linyu and looking inside without the doctor's permission to enter.

The room was brightly lit, and the two acne doctors were also wearing epidemic attire. At this time, they had already taken off Jiang Xuan's clothes and were carefully examining the rash on Jiang Xuan's body.

The two discussed solemnly for a while, and said to the outside: "His Royal Highness is still young, and the acne comes out urgently, intensely, and the fever does not go away. If the acne is stopped rashly, it will definitely damage the viscera and cause other diseases. Right now, we have to Try to follow the trend and force out the acne first. As long as the acne scab falls off, His Royal Highness will be safe, but..."

"Just what?" Pei Yan hurriedly asked while leaning on the door frame.

The doctor hesitated: "It's just that this method of forcing acne is not perfect. According to Xiao Shizi's symptoms, it is only [-]% sure that it can be cured."

When Pei Yan heard this, her knees softened: "Twenty percent..."

Mei Linyu hurriedly supported her, seeing her suffering, she was too anxious to say anything good.Fortunately, Pei Jun was still calm at this time, first pulled Pei Yan to sit down in the corridor and said: "Twenty percent is also life. Xuan'er is lucky, and I will definitely survive it." Saying that, he waved to Uncle Dong in the room.

Uncle Dong understood, and hurriedly took out the silver ingot from his sleeve and gave it to the two doctors, saying: "You two must do your best, if the cure is successful, your lord will reward you."

The two doctors hurriedly thanked the gift, and immediately ordered the medicine boy and mother-in-law to prepare medicinal baths and decoctions.

Seeing that the treatment was started, Pei Jun thought for a while, and still recruited servants from the Manfu and Jiang Yue to send guards, and told them to beware of outsiders' prying eyes.

At this moment, Liu Jin shouted outside: "The Lord Jin is here!"

As soon as Pei Jun turned his head, he saw Jiang Yue walking into the backyard in a hurry. Before he could ask questions, Jiang Yue hurriedly said: "Pei Jun, there is another news."

Pei Jun paused after hearing the words: "Have you found King Tai?"

"No, it's not that matter." Jiang Yue shook his head, took a deep breath to calm his breath, seeing that the servants of the Mansion were busy bringing water to Jiang Xuan's room to change things, there were many people, so he stepped forward two steps Pei Jun pulled to the outside of the corridor, and said in a low voice: "The southern garrison sent a flying letter, saying that the salt people in Cangnan Road have risen and revolted!"

Pei Jun was stunned: "What? How come..."

——In his previous life, the Yan people's uprising in the south was a sign of Xue Zhang's failure to change his course. In his memory, it should have happened in the spring of Yuan Guang's 13th year. How could it happen at this time in this life?

This undoubtedly disrupted the original step-by-step historical path once again, and this chaos is undoubtedly a greater variable than the remarriage of Taiping Guoji and the death of Li Cunzhi.

Seeing that Pei Jun was shocked, Jiang Yue didn't say a word, he just thought it was unexpected, and he didn't want to delay at this time, and said again: "This is not over yet. Pei Jun, guess who is the leader of the uprising among the Yan people?" who is it?"

Pei Jun felt chills in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't think of who it was. He couldn't help but looked at Jiang Yue blankly, but he heard Jiang Yue take a deep breath and exhale slowly:

"It's Li Si."
