After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 60
"Madam?" Several big and thick men outside Xiyuan were stunned.

Ke Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, I thought it was so late and you all had gone back to sleep."

One of the men touched his head and smiled honestly, "No, because Brother Zi said that we have to take turns guarding here, I'm afraid that we won't be able to take care of what happens to Madam."

After breaking the hole that day, Li Wei sent someone to install a door on this wall to facilitate their entry and exit. Fortunately, most of the guards at the Hou Mansion were gone, and no one noticed that there was an extra door in such a remote place. Door.

"Okay, the girl next to me is sick and needs to be sent to Xie Li as soon as possible."

"Madam, don't worry, we brothers are the fastest."

Ke Yiqing nodded and quickly asked them to carry Zi Xing on their backs and run to Deji Hall.

Xie Li was packing his things when he saw several men rushing towards him. The boys in the hall were so frightened that they hid behind Xie Li.

"Look carefully, they are all people around Brother Li."

The boy stuck his head out, and it turned out to be a familiar face. He greeted sheepishly, "Come here, what's the matter?"

The man gasped, "It's not me, it's the little girl on my back."

Xie Li took it and saw that it was Zi Xing.

"Don't panic, don't panic, what are the symptoms?"

The man took a sip of tea and was about to speak when Ke Yiqing also trotted over, but was stopped by Xie Li with a cold face, "Don't you know what's going on with your body? Why are you running now?"

Of course she knew she still had a child in her belly, but she couldn't care less about it right now, "Miss Xie, do you remember the disease I asked you about before?"

Xie Li also became serious now and hurriedly checked on Zi Xing's condition. "The face is blue, the tongue coating is white, the ankles are swollen, and the body is not hot. These are indeed symptoms of the disease you mentioned before."

Ke Yiqing's heart clenched and she followed the people into the back room.

"Don't worry. I started thinking about this disease after I heard you talk about it. I've thought about it a long time ago." Xie Li turned his back to her to grab the medicine, and the boy was running around.

Xie Li told the boy: "The medicinal materials have been counted. You can use them to boil the medicine."

After Zi Xing took the medicine, Ke Yiqing's nerves, which had been tense for a long time, relaxed.

"This illness is strange. I have been sitting in court for so long, and this little girl is the first one."

"I'm afraid not."

She also felt uncomfortable thinking about the refugees outside the city. "Zi Xing contracted this disease when he went out of the city to see Xiaoyu. It is estimated that it has spread outside the city."

Xie Li stood up in shock, "You mean, it came from outside the city?"

She nodded solemnly and asked Xie Li to prepare some anti-cold medicines. Li Wei and these people had to run outside because they were planning a charcoal fire business, so they drank some to be prepared.

"It's okay, but what should the other people outside the city do?"

Ke Yiqing smiled bitterly, "My ability is really limited, and there is only so much I can do to save."

"You have done enough. In this world, living is no easier than death." Xie Li sighed. As a doctor, she has seen many such human tragedies.

The two discussed and finally decided to publish the prescription for treating cold epidemic to prevent patients from being misdiagnosed when they went to other medical clinics and pharmacies.

The results were not satisfactory. Although the doctors praised Xie Li's righteous deed, they all said that no such case had been diagnosed recently.

"Everyone can't eat now, and there are even fewer people coming to see the doctor." The doctor shook his head, not to mention the ordinary people who would not be able to survive, even doctors like him in the medical clinic were stretched.

Ke Yiqing looked at the numb faces of the people outside the hospital and felt ridiculous.She had obviously already made plans, why did the famine become more serious in this life, but it reached this point in mid-October.

Li Wei rushed to meet him, with an anxious look on his face, "Madam, it's better to return to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible. The world outside is in chaos."

"What's going on here?"

"I originally went to deliver charcoal outside the city, but my shop was robbed again."

Ke Yiqing waved him away, "What's going on? Take me to see it."

Li Wei couldn't resist her, so he could only take her to see the carriage. It was parked in the backyard of the Dejitang Grain Store, and there were many tall and handsome men guarding it. He felt relieved for a while.

A large number of civilians crowded outside the shop, and the troublemakers shouted: "Your Deji Hall is the only one in Shengjing that has food, and you still don't sell it. Are you going to starve us to death?"

The word "food" hurt the hearts of the crowd, and everyone was even more indignant.

"Yes, yes, I heard that they even send food to the families of high-ranking officials. Bah!"

"The merchants are really just looking for profit and don't care about our life or death at all!"

Someone raised their arms and shouted: "Such a profiteer, it is true that we broke in and robbed the food!"

Ke Yiqing, who was in the carriage, turned pale, grabbed the person next to him and asked: "Is this trouble caused by another grain store, or..."

The man shook his head, with a heavy expression on his face, "Since we delivered food to the nobles, other food stores no longer dare to cause trouble secretly. I guess..."

She fell back in shock after hearing this. How could this happen?Why did the famine spread so quickly?In the previous life, it didn’t break out on a large scale until the end of November.

In her excitement, she began to feel dizzy again. It happened at this time. She gritted her teeth, pulled out the hairpin and stabbed it into her thigh.

Bright red blood gushed out and smeared on the brocade, and severe pain brought her back to consciousness.

Ke Yiqing took a deep breath: Don't get confused, stay calm, and think about how to solve the current situation.

Someone outside the carriage said anxiously: "What should I do? Today is the time for Jing Zhaoyi to take a bath. These people really know how to pick the day."

Another person smiled bitterly, "Master Jing Zhaoyi sent people to suppress those who came to cause trouble before. I guess they are well prepared this time."

What?Even Jing Zhaoyi can't come?She looked at the growing crowd outside, her palms were so anxious that they were sweating, and the dizziness in front of her eyes swept over her again.

She pursed her trembling lips: No, she has to calm down and think about what to do. Li Wei is still waiting for her. There is still a lot of food in it. Many people in Shengjing will starve to death. She has to think about it. think……

After a few moments, Ke Yiqing opened his eyes and said, "Go and call Li Wei over. I have something to say to him."

The man was dumbfounded, "Madam, look at these people outside. They just want to eat us alive. Why don't you go back first?"

"Go and call someone." She said solemnly: "Go and call him. It won't take long. I have a way to solve this situation."

The man was shocked by her gaze and immediately ran to find Li Wei.

Li Wei was surprised when he heard the message, but he quickly calmed everyone down and went outside the carriage despite everyone's opinions.

"Come over here."

"It's ma'am."

After a while, his eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, let me try it."
