Da Suining

Chapter 152
The alternating light and dark light outside the window is getting higher and higher, the curtains are deep, and the light passing through the curtains creates some mottled reflections.

After another stick of incense, Lan Fai still hasn't woken up.

"The time has come, close the needle." Lu Yu confessed.

Lu Yu leaned down and was about to pull out the needle when he suddenly heard voices outside the bedroom.

"Hey, why are you standing outside?"

It's a princess.

"Mom, I... want to guard my brother."

"How is your brother? Didn't Yu'er come to see him? I haven't seen you guys for a long time, so I'll come and see him."

"Brother Lu..." Lan Yu purposely said loudly, "Brother Lu, he wants to stay with him for a while longer."

"How is your brother?"

"My brother...he..." Lan Xi hesitated.

She was concentrating on guarding the door in the corridor, and she had no way of knowing what was going on in the bedroom.

She could only say: "Brother, he...needs a rest. The imperial physician also said so."

"Since that's the case, let Yu'er go back early, I'll go and tell him." When Princess Guo started to act, Lan Yu couldn't stop her at all.

Besides Lan Heng, who else would dare to stop the princess.

So Princess Guo drove straight in and walked in the door, almost at a glance.

That is, the moment Princess Guo entered the door, Lan Tui sat up from the bed.

He shook his shoulders, and with a little force, the silver needle exposed on his back flew out. The moment it flew out, the silver needle was inserted into the carved bed frame, and unexpectedly sank into the bed frame, standing firmly.

He stretched out his hand to grab a long gown from somewhere in the brocade tent, and with a shake of his shoulders, the long gown fell on him.

While shaking the gown, a gust of wind blew up his hair, his long hair fluttered, and his clothes fluttered. He walked quickly and smoothly, and he had already closed the brocade tent and moved outside the curtain.

Princess Guo entered the door at this time.

At first, she thought it was Lu Yu standing in front of her, and she wanted to lift the curtain as soon as she pushed it away: "Don't block Yu'er, how is Tuer? Did you wake him up?"

"mother."

Princess Guo was taken aback, then raised her head, Grandma Tianwang, isn't this her precious son Lan Fai?

Lan Tui was already dying, his life was hanging by a thread, why now?

He was wearing a gray open-chested gown with carved patterns wrapped around silver thread and embroidered four-fold cloud patterns. The black pansy embroidered on his waist was really pretty.

His long hair hangs down, and his clothes are flowing. This temperament is both good and evil, sweet and salty.

A pair of bright eyes are shining with starlight, and the cheeks are sharp and angular like a knife.

At this time, give him a knife, and it is more than enough to carry the knife to go on patrol.

Princess Guo thought she was dreaming.

He must have been hallucinating because he was too worried about his son.

Princess Guo shook her head, went out again, walked in again, and once again came to Lan Tui's side, she was so excited that tears almost rolled down her eyes.

Lan Fai reached out and wiped her eyes.

The warm touch, carrying the breath of Lan Fai, Princess Guo couldn't control it: "Fa'er, did you get up by yourself?"

"Yes."

"How do you feel? Is it better? Is there any discomfort?" Princess Guo said, touching Lan Tui's body with both hands, for fear that if he missed it, he would disappear.

"Mom, I'm much better."

"It's so good." Princess Guo breathed a long sigh of relief: "It seems that those imperial physicians are still useful. Although I was a little fierce to them, I was worried about your illness, so I got a little out of order. Besides, the imperial physicians Slippery, if I don't attack them, they won't show their housekeeping skills. This is all right, this is all right."

Lan Xie faintly felt that it was not that simple, the plague outside, even the imperial doctor was afraid of it, could it be that Lan Fai would recover suddenly?
She couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she just stood over and supported Lan Tuan's arm: "Mother, although my brother is better, he just recovered from a serious illness, so he needs to rest more, mother, hurry back, so that brother doesn't waste too much energy." Furious."

Princess Guo nodded: "Your words are reasonable."

Princess Guo took Lan Tui's hand, personally sent him into the curtain, and closed the curtain herself.

"I'll let your father go to the palace to invite the imperial physician. Now that Fai'er's illness has improved, they also need to come and see if they want to change the prescription and add some nourishing medicinal materials. The best ginseng in our warehouse There are still two catties, let's see if I can drink it."

"Mother, don't bother the doctor, the master in the palace still needs them to see a doctor." Through the curtain, Lan Fa's voice was soft.

"What's the matter?" Princess Guo thought while grabbing her handkerchief, "If you need Fa'er, you can call the imperial physician three times a day, and mother can go too."

"Does the kitchen prepare meals for the young master?" the woman in charge asked in a low voice.

"I'm not hungry."

"You are not hungry now, but you still have to prepare. If you get hungry later, where can you get delicious food?" Princess Guo told the woman in charge as she walked out: "What do you usually like to eat? You all know that there are other things that are too greasy, less, the son's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus salted duck, and the water-boiled bean tail, there is one more, by the way, eight-treasure rice, sprinkled Add fine powdered sugar, warm it in the pot after steaming, and serve it whenever you want.”

The mother-in-law nodded and went to the kitchen to get ready.

The princess held the door and looked back, and happened to see Xiang Suining and Lu Yu standing outside the curtain reluctantly, like a pair of bodyguards.

Especially Lu Yu, with a pair of eyes fixed on the curtain.

"Yu'er, what are you looking at?" the princess asked.

"I...I...see if Lan Fai has fallen asleep."

"Tu'er needs to rest. The imperial doctor specially ordered him to rest. It is also necessary for him to recuperate. The imperial doctor also said that if there is nothing to do, let us not come to Tui'er's bedroom to prevent accidents." He took it out: "You come to see Faier, it's good, after two days he'll be better, you still come."

Xiang Suining followed behind Lu Yu, lowering his head and putting on the veiled hat.

"Stop." The princess called to her.

Xiang Suining was stunned.

Princess Guo has a pleasant face: "I remember the boy who came with you before, not this one."

"That's my little follower. He has something to do today, and my mother is worried that I will go out alone, so she dialed another one for me temporarily, so the princess is unfamiliar."

"So that's how it is." Princess Guo said: "Go back and bring it to your mother. There are a lot of things going on in the mansion recently, and the two families won't be able to see each other."

The princess said nothing, so she hurriedly asked Chang Xinhou to talk about inviting the imperial physician.

Along the way.

The yellow sand covering the sky and the sun in Qingcheng in autumn seems to have decreased a little, and it is not as high as Yang.

It was just a burst of yellow sand, and the high walls and eaves of Qingcheng turned khaki.

The Qingcheng Mountain in the distance is also earthy yellow.

The city is empty and there are few pedestrians.

Those doctors who were robbed by others did not know where they went.

Qingcheng, which used to be full of traffic and horses, is now eerily quiet.

Xiang Suining walked with Lu Yu for a while without meeting anyone.

You must know that there was a curfew at night in Qingcheng in the early years, and the higher-ups were in charge, but some people still sneaked out to roam around while it was dark.

It's cooler now than it was during the curfew.

On the carriage, Lu Yu sighed a few times.

"what happened?"

"It's a pity, it's a pity that my silver needle is still at Lan Tui's house, that's the guy I cheated of money... that's the guy I eat."

"It's useless for them to ask for silver needles, and they will probably pack them for you."

"I'm afraid that Lan Fa's mother will see it."

"What do you think of Lord Xiaolan after getting the needle? He stood up just now..."

"He stood up to protect me. He was afraid that his mother would see me playing tricks on him..." Lu Yu was a little helpless: "You have to know that there will be a flashback before death."

"Crow's mouth, Lord Xiaolan will not die." Xiang Suining silently lowered his head.

Whether she will die or not, she has no idea.

What she said was just to comfort her.

People in Qingcheng were panicked.

At the beginning, every household closed their doors tightly, and within three days, they poured out.

Those who buy vegetables, those who buy rice, those who run out of rice, and those who hoard coarse grains.

People come and go in a hurry.

Perhaps it was the dying atmosphere that affected everyone's mood,
People covered their mouths and noses, ventured out in order to stock up on food for their families, went out to buy things, and hurried back.

When Xiang Daying came home from the palace, he was also a little panicked. He took off his official robe first, and then took a bath for half an hour. There was no charcoal in the autumn, and there was some wind. Yes, his lips were blackened by the cold.

When Xiang Guoxin came back from the study, he was dragged to change clothes and take a shower.

Xiang Guoxin sorted out the books and wanted to take them into the palace the next day, but Xiang Daying directly cut off his thoughts: "The only ones who go to the study are the princes, what books are you still reading at this time? Life matters, you don't want to leave the palace." Those inside and outside the palace ran away, if they got infected with the plague, would they survive? If the plague is transmitted to the prince, our whole family will die.”

"Then... I'll just read for a while." Xiang Guoxin spread out a page of the book, leaning over his desk and reading it very intently.

Of course, concentration is false, Xiang Daying always dislikes him for not studying hard, and Xiang Daying was very happy when he did this in the past.

This time is different.

Xiang Daying threw the book aside directly: "What time is it, I still have the mind to read, don't read."

"Father, if I don't study hard, my grades will be second to last, only slightly better than the Second Prince Guo."

"He is the prince, how can you be better than the prince? Listen to me, don't turn over the book, it is serious to rest well, and it will be the last one in the future." Xiang Daying leaned on the grand master's chair, holding a shiny whip in his hand: "Let me see you reading at night again, be careful not to get beaten."

The imperial physician has said that it is best to close the doors of every household, and it is best to stay at home and not go out except to buy some food.

The emperor has already sent a message that within five days, he is not allowed to go to court.

Any minister who dares to go to the palace before dawn will be severely reprimanded and fined for three months.

That's not going to court, that's life-threatening.

If the people in the palace are infected, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out?
The palace couldn't afford to take this risk. After all, there were at least a few hundred people in the mighty procession. Who knew if they were sick or not?

Because of the plague, the annual emperor's draft was also stopped.

The rule that maids of honor can meet with their family members every autumn has also been changed.

For those pregnant concubines, people from the mother's family can accompany them for a few days to relax, and this treatment is gone.

In the past, the favored concubines could go back to their natal family to visit relatives after consulting the emperor as usual, and they were not allowed to visit.

In the past, the emperor had to turn over the sign every evening to favor a palace man, but now he is not in the mood to turn over the sign. Everyone sleeps in their own place and can save themselves from getting pregnant.

Of course, the study room is also closed first, and the princes don't have to get up to study at five o'clock.As for whether the princes want to climb trees to pick dates, or bend their bows to shoot big eagles, they can do whatever they want without compulsion, as long as they don't get together.

Close the gate of the palace to avoid future troubles.

It's not a big deal, so don't open it.

In the past, it was a capital offense for someone to forcefully break into the palace gate.

Now anyone who dares to approach the palace gate twenty steps away can be shot to death.

Inside and outside the palace, it is rare to be clean.

The emperor has ordered all the imperial physicians to arrive at their posts, locked up a group of people in the imperial hospital, and discussed the prescription to solve the plague. Once the prescription was obtained, he asked people to hurry up and give it to patients outside the palace for trial. The emperor has something to say, Whoever writes the prescription can cure the plague, and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and can be promoted to three levels in a row.

But Fangzi opened more than ten sheets, but it didn't have much effect.

The emperor was in a hurry, looking at the rows of medicine pots in the imperial hospital, snoring, bubbling day and night, and the smell of medicine was quite strong, alas.

Dead bodies began to appear outside the palace, at first there were only one or two dead bodies, some people saw the dead bodies lying on the street and were still very frightened, so they ran to Qingcheng Mansion Yamen Zhou Sheng to report the news by beating drums as usual.

Those corpses that have not been treated will be placed in Yizhuang by the government, or at worst, they will be dragged to mass graves.

The situation is different now, as long as those who die on the street with bleeding from the mouth and nose are unsightly, they will all be dragged to the back of the mountain and burned.

It is said that burning day and night, Qingcheng has been filled with the smell of roasting people.

Now there are more and more corpses in Qingcheng. When the living saw the corpses, they no longer panicked. So many people died."

"Yeah, dead people piled on top of each other, it's like dead chickens and ducks, it's really miserable, God, you old man just open your eyes and see, don't torture the people anymore."

Princess Guo entered the palace again.

Break into the palace and die.

For the sake of Lan Fade, she couldn't care less.

Fortunately, many of the guards in Qingcheng are old acquaintances of Lan Fai, and the princess has a special status, so they went to inform her.

Later, the emperor simply gave the princess a waist card and allowed her to enter the palace with the waist card.

But the doctor is miserable.

As soon as they heard that Princess Guo was entering the palace, they all buried their heads in writing the prescription, and even would rather go to see the medicine pot than hang around in front of the princess.

After all, it is safe and stable in the palace.Anyway, the emperor is far away and won't stare at him all the time.

Going to Changxinhou Mansion is quite different.

Either being called a quack doctor by Princess Guo, or being called a stupid thing.

Yesterday, the imperial physician could not speak, and said that Princess Guo should prepare for Lan Tui's funeral. It is no longer possible. In the past three to five days, Princess Guo was furious and slapped the imperial physician three times. The unhealthy face is swollen, as if swallowing an egg.

Now seeing the princess coming again, the imperial doctor hurriedly took the cattail fan to fan the medicine jar.

In the eyes of the imperial physician, Lan Fai was hopeless.

All available medicines have been used.

His condition continued to deteriorate rapidly.

In addition to the funeral, there is nothing else to prepare.
