Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 63

Qin Shu fell ill, at this time.When Liu Qingtang heard the news, her face turned pale, and she almost couldn't stand up.The first reaction in her heart was that Qin Shu was infected with the plague. Although it took half a month to discover the plague in her previous life, it might be possible in this life earlier.

The group of people who got the plague at the beginning didn't have time to wait for Su Shu's prescription to treat them.If it was true, if Qin Shu was really a plague, what would she do?
Liu Qingtang didn't dare to think about it anymore, and shook hands tightly, as if a gust of wind rushed out of the palace gate, and headed straight for the side hall where Qin Shu was, Taoye Zhuiyi and the two looked at each other, and one quickly followed Liu Qingtang, One person went to the imperial hospital to call the imperial doctor.

When they arrived at the side hall, they saw Qin Shu staggering and being supported to go out.Liu Qingtang stepped forward quickly and frowned, "It's not that you're sick, where else are you going?"

"Return to master, the servants are sending Director Qin to Mingshou Palace."

When the masters in the palace are sick, they can call the imperial physicians to see them and recuperate in their respective palaces, but the slaves are different. Once the slaves are sick, they cannot serve the masters, and they have to be moved to the Mingshou Palace. Prevent the sickness from giving to the master.There are many slaves who died of illness in the Mingshou Palace. After all, there are too few servants who have the status to make the imperial physician or medical officer look at them. No one cares, and the last straw mat shroud is buried casually everywhere.

Naturally, Liu Qingtang had heard about the situation in the Mingshou Palace, and knew that Qin Shu was the head steward. Unlike those little servants, if he went to the Mingshou Palace, he would naturally not be so slighted.However, even if she knew about it, she still didn't feel relieved. She still didn't know what Qin Shu's illness was like, so how could she be relieved if she didn't look at her right now.

And Mingshou Palace, after she experienced the seven-year plague in Yuanning in her previous life, she didn't want to think about it.In the previous life, none of the palace people who were carried into the Mingshou Palace because of the plague could come out alive. Later, even the palace people who took care of it inside were infected with the disease, and no one dared to approach there.The people in the Mingshou Palace don’t know whether they died of illness or died of thirst and starvation due to lack of care. In the end, it became a palace of death. After the plague, the corpses inside were burned together with the palace, and another A Mingshou Palace.

Liu Qingtang would never let Qin Shu go to that kind of place, and immediately sullen when he heard this, "Help him in."

Director Liu of the Mingshou Palace who specially brought someone to pick him up, saw that the Empress Dowager's expression was not right, and immediately had a bitter face, realizing that he was in a hurry to kiss the wrong ass.Originally, no matter how much the master trusted his servant, he would not be ambiguous when it was about his own body, and kept a sick servant by his side.His Mingshou Palace also has a place specially prepared for these useful stewards. He will take good care of his many contacts in the future, and everyone will be like this. However, the queen mother seems to be very disrespectful to him. satisfy.

Director Liu was not sure what the Empress Dowager was thinking, so he bit his bullet and said, "My Lady, the servants will definitely take good care of Director Qin..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qingtang interrupted him impatiently, "Bring people in, and then you can go back."

"Yes, yes, I can't do anything well with this elm-brained slave." Manager Liu laughed along, he never dared to tell the master that this was against the palace rules, so he could only quickly order the little eunuch to ask for help. Help Qin Shu back.Hearing that Chief Manager Qin is very favored by the Empress Dowager, Eunuch Liu sighed in his heart that what he said was true, but at the same time he couldn't help guessing whether there was something between the Empress Dowager and this Chief Executive Qin.But thinking about it, Qin Shu is not that extraordinary in appearance, and the empress dowager is so powerful that even if she doesn't love male pets, she shouldn't be attracted to eunuchs like them.

Eunuch Liu quietly sized up the chief manager of Qin, who was said to be very capable. In the end, he could only sigh that he knew how to do things, and he didn't know how to win over his master.

On the contrary, Qin Shu frowned, stopped there and said to Liu Qingtang forcefully: "Your Majesty, it was the servant who asked Mr. Liu to come here. You can go to Mingshou Hall, but the servant is too close to the Empress. If you get sick How can I give it to the empress, besides, the palace rules are like this, the empress is kind-hearted and cannot bear the suffering of the slave, but the slave cannot be arrogant because of being favored, and people will say that the empress is not."

Liu Qingtang didn't care that he still wanted to find a reason for her to rectify her name at this time, so she just ignored him and urged the two little eunuchs who were helping him, "Hurry up and help Aijia get him in! "

When Eunuch Liu left the wrong place with a smile and the two young eunuchs, Liu Qingtang helped Qin Shu take off his shoes and coat by himself.

Qin Shu leaned on the bed, seeing this and struggling to come by himself, but Liu Qingtang was very rude and pushed him back on the bed. "If you're sick, take care of yourself. What's wrong with taking care of you? I'm your wife, so I can't take care of you anymore!"

Qin Shu was taken aback by what she said, so he softened his expression and let her play with him.Liu Qingtang loosened his hair in a bun and unbuttoned his coat, then covered him with a quilt and tucked in the four corners, then sat on the edge of the bed and touched his head, and found that the tentacles were hot, Liu Qingtang immediately couldn't hide his worry.

The plague is like this. At first, the symptoms are no different from those of wind and cold. Fever and weakness, and even after taking the medicine, the drowsiness does not improve. After several days of such hot and cold, the consciousness gradually becomes unclear, and finally the whole body will convulse and die. .

The more Liu Qingtang thought about it, the more frightened she became, her face turned pale with fright from her guess.Qin Shu's eyes were about to close. Seeing her like this now, he couldn't feel at ease. He could only forcefully open his eyes and comfort him, "I'm fine, it's just a cold, and I'll be fine after two days of rest."

He spoke slowly, as if he was struggling, Liu Qingtang saw that even his eyes were a little slack, and he had to hold on, knowing that he was afraid that she would worry, so he had to forcefully clean up the expression on his face, covered his eyes with one hand, and leaned over. He kissed the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "I won't worry if you get well soon, close your eyes and have a good rest."

Qin Shu fell into a deep sleep after a while, his brows furrowed subconsciously.Liu Qingtang sat a little closer, smoothed out the wrinkles between his brows, and placed her hand on his forehead, feeling the warmth, made her feel more restless.

Qin Shu didn't like to be served by others, so he was a majestic chief executive, and there was not a single servant in the room, except for Qin Shu and Liu Qingtang, only Taoye who pretended he didn't exist.At this moment, she kept looking outside the door, and when she saw her sister coming in with the imperial physician, she quickly reminded softly: "Master, the imperial physician is here."

"En." Liu Qingtang withdrew her hand, still sitting by the bed.The imperial doctor checked Qin Shu's pulse without looking sideways, saying that it was a cold, and that he had suffered some physical damage due to too much work and needed recuperation.The imperial doctor wrote prescriptions for treating wind and cold and several prescriptions for recuperation, and asked people to follow them to grab the medicine and then withdrew.Liu Qingtang was even more tormented when she heard the wind and cold. At the beginning of the plague, everyone didn't pay attention to it. A group of imperial doctors said it was ordinary wind and cold, but it was not until the situation got out of hand that they realized it was not.

If Qin Shu's fever still persists in two days, it means that it is most likely a plague.Liu Qingtang leaned over and hugged the sleeping Qin Shu, buried her face in the quilt, and kept praying in her heart that there must be nothing wrong with this person, and it must not be a plague.

Liu Qingtang kept guarding Qin Shu, did not go back to her bedroom, and refused to go because she said she was unwell.Sitting beside Qin Shu's bed, watching him, changing a veil on his forehead from time to time.

Qin Shu is already twenty, his body is gone, and his stature has grown a lot, a full head taller than her.He still remembers that she joked that he was young at that time, seeing that he was so much taller than her, she was secretly happy for a long time, she sensed his thoughts, and even specially praised him to make him happier.

It's just that he still looks thin, but he has grown tall without any flesh. She began to dislike his bones and forced him to eat more. No matter how cheerful she looked at him, she said that she couldn't eat more.

The imperial doctor said that besides the cold, he was overworked. Qin Shu would never learn to let himself rest. He worked so hard before to prove himself and make her think he was useful.Later, she told him frankly that although he had lost those messy thoughts, he still didn't change much, saying that he would share her worries no matter what.Qin Shu, a stubborn fool who won't listen to what he says, is not much better than Xiao Huaiyu.

At this moment, he was lying there quietly, his face was pale and thin, and he looked a little frightened.He didn't see any blood on his face on weekdays. He said that he was in poor health when he was young, and he hadn't been able to take good care of him. No matter how many quilts are covered in the freezing cold, it will not warm up.

Why did she like him so much? She didn't see him as pleasing, and he looked ordinary. How could she like him so much.Liu Qingtang didn't dare to imagine, if something happened to Qin Shu, how she would live this life alone.She used to read stories about two people who were in love when one died and the other didn't want to live alone. At that time, she still felt very incomprehensible, how could such a person give up their lives for another completely unrelated person.Now she knows that if the other party dies, all the happy things will be taken away, and there is no point in living.

Liu Qingtang suddenly thought of her father again. He has never forgotten his mother for so many years, and he has been thinking about a dead person for ten years, and he doesn't know what it feels like.

Liu Qingtang sat there watching Qin Shu in a daze, thinking a lot.Taoye Zhuiyi and the two brought the food, she didn't even look at it and told them to leave, just sat there.Unable to persuade her, Taoye Zhuiyi had no choice but to keep silent, hoping that Qin Shu would get better soon.

Qin Shu slept for a whole day and woke up in the middle of the night. At first he felt dizzy and throbbing, and then he heard the voice of the empress dowager in his ears. "Are you awake? Is it uncomfortable? Do you want to drink water?"

Qin Shu opened his eyes and saw Liu Qingtang looking at him tiredly and worriedly under the candlelight.Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, his mind cleared up a lot, he reckoned that it was already late at night, why Qingtang was still here so late.So he immediately said: "I've recovered a lot, don't worry, it's too late now, go back and rest."

"It's okay, I can't sleep now." Liu Qingtang heard his hoarse voice, turned around and poured him a glass of warm water, and held his head to feed him.

"Are you hungry? I'll get someone to cook porridge for you." Liu Qingtang touched his forehead, feeling that it wasn't as hot as before, and his expression finally relaxed.If it's really a plague, the fever won't subside in a day, it seems that it's just an ordinary wind and cold.

"I'm not hungry, does Qingtang have any food today?" Qin Shu asked, seeing her nod indiscriminately saying that she had eaten, he knew she hadn't, and said with some disapproval: "Qingtang go eat something and go back to rest, I I'll be fine tomorrow. It's not that I haven't been sick before, and I'm still fine." Although he almost died of illness in Mingshou Palace that time, he survived, and it was really not a big deal for him.He has been like this since he was a child, he can't die no matter what, his life is very hard.What's more, with her here now, he couldn't bear to die anyway.

Liu Qingtang didn't speak, but suddenly hugged him through the quilt, and after a long silence, said: "Qin Shu, get better soon, I want you to go to the south for me in a few days."

Qin Shu is sick at the moment, if the plague comes, he has not thoroughly understood it, and it will be bad if he catches the plague again, maybe she should let him avoid it temporarily.

Once the decision was made, Liu Qingtang did not hesitate anymore, and continued: "Last time I received a letter of love, saying that the governor of Ling County was corrupt, took bribes and oppressed the people, so I wanted to send an imperial envoy to investigate. It is said that the governor of Ling County Colluding with some officials in the court, I can't send these people before I find out who they are, but Wei Zheng's wife is pregnant, so I can't let him go, brother... There are also some things, I can only I'll let you go, okay?"

"Of course it's good. I'll be leaving in two days." Qin Shu didn't see the expression on her face, and didn't notice anything wrong. He stretched out his hand from under the quilt and patted her head, agreeing.

"I'm afraid it will take two or three months to go. Don't startle the snake. I want the list of officials who colluded with the DPRK and China in his hand. It will definitely take some time to check these. You just don't want to be too tired when you are sick. It's good to recuperate over there. Check this in secret, but in the open, you are going to pick a girl for the emperor, so don't rush back, just check it out. If everything is true and you get the list, those corrupt officials will be taken into custody first. It's done." Liu Qingtang leaned on him, and her tone couldn't hear the slightest difference, as if she really wanted him to do this.

In fact, she knew for a long time that she was prepared to get over this plague, and when a small riot broke out in Ling County at the end of the year, Wei Zheng would lead the army to suppress it as a matter of course, and by the way, get rid of those pests and corrupt officials that she had known in her previous life.But now, in order to distract Qin Shu temporarily, he can only be asked to do this in advance.

Hearing Qin Shu's responses one by one, Liu Qingtang smiled softly again, "I heard that the road going south is very beautiful, Qin Shu, take a good look for me, and tell me everything when you come back, okay?" ?”

"it is good."
