I'm the Villain's Mother in Time Time

Chapter 603 The Plague
Lin Chuqian couldn't help but dragged Ye Zhaojun into the carriage and returned to the city.

"When you go back today, immediately take off the clothes on your body and burn them. During this time, don't go out to give porridge outside the city again. Zhaojun, you must listen to me this time."

Seeing her unprecedented nervousness, Ye Zhaojun couldn't help but look solemn, and she asked cautiously, "What about Xiaoyue's mother?"

"You are not a doctor and you don't know how to treat illnesses. It is useless to go there. If you are really worried, then order your servants to ask the doctor for Xiaoyueniang. Anyway, you must not go rashly like today."

Ye Zhaojun became more puzzled after hearing this, and also noticed her uneasiness. "Ash, but what happened?"

"It's nothing, I hope I think too much."

Lin Chuqian calmed down slowly, and seriously recalled the scene she saw just now.

Those who were lying on the ground lingering, the rancid smell seemed to be still on the tip of their noses.

How much she wished that she was really overthinking, those people were suffering from ordinary diseases, not the plague she suspected.

-

Sure enough, it was a plague.

After returning that day, Ye Zhaojun did not go out despite Lin Chuqian's repeated exhortations, and hid at home all day long.

However, within two days, the plague broke out among the victims outside the city. At the beginning, dozens of people died every day, then dozens, hundreds, and finally hundreds of people.

The imperial court was so frightened that they could close the city to prevent the refugees outside the city from entering the city, and prevent the people inside the city from leaving the city.

As a result, the victims gathered outside the city didn't even have a bowl of porridge. They could only watch the people around them fall down because of the plague, and then waited desperately for their own death, starvation or illness.

Hearing that there was a plague outbreak outside the city, Zhen Youming passed out directly in the court hall, and the early court ended hastily, leaving only Prime Minister He to discuss matters in the imperial study.

There are many ministers in the DPRK and China, but Zhen Youming's trust is actually very few.

Sitting on the dragon chair and resting his forehead, he felt very melancholy, looking at the young and promising prime minister in front of him, this man who had followed him around to give advice when he was the prince.

He is obviously younger than himself, but his thoughts are far beyond those of his peers.

Zhen Youming also often sighs how lucky Chen Guo is to have such a talented person, and often rejoices that he chose to be loyal to himself.

"Changsheng, I can only entrust this plague outside the city to you."

When He Changsheng heard his sigh, he hurriedly saluted, calm and calm.

"The minister must live up to His Majesty's expectations."

After ten years as a monarch and minister, Zhen Youming trusted him quite a lot, seeing that he did not refuse, he couldn't help but feel more at ease.

-

He Changsheng was ordered by His Majesty to deal with the plague outside the city. He broke open the city gate, first took hundreds of officers and soldiers to appease the victims outside the city, and then led the young people among the victims to a wasteland outside the city to open up wasteland and build simple houses. Abandon,

After the efforts of the victims and officers and soldiers, a house that can shelter from the wind and rain was built a few days later.

He Changsheng gathered all the victims of the plague here, and then arranged for many doctors to jointly treat them.

Although it has not yet achieved results, the hearts of the people have finally been appeased.

At least it ensures that the victims infected with the plague can not wander around and avoid the spread of the disease.

Zhen Youming was very pleased with this, and ordered the entire court to actively cooperate with He Changsheng in treating the epidemic, and those who violated the rules would be punished with punishment.
Although the price was heavy, at least the victims outside the city received the attention they deserved, and the question of how to resettle the victims began to be discussed in the capital.

After Ye Zhaojun heard about the plague outside the city, he realized Lin Chuqian's uneasiness and panic at that time.

She told Mrs. Ye about this time, and the latter was terrified when she heard about it, and hurriedly brought Ye Zhaojun to visit.

"Thanks to Ah Qian that day, otherwise Zhaojun would be... alas." Madam Ye sat in the front hall and took Wei Ninglan's hand, clutching her heart as if she was still in fear. "Zhaojun has been weak since he was a child, and his body is worse than others. Fortunately, this time he was out of danger."

"Zhaojun is a good boy, so naturally he will be fine." Wei Ninglan had a big belly and a gentle smile.

"It's still thanks to Ah Qian being here." Mrs. Ye was sincerely grateful.

Wei Ninglan nodded with a smile, and looked up to Lin Chuqian, who was sitting on the side, who was obedient and gentle. In fact, when she heard that there was a plague outside the city, she was also terrified.

Fortunately, Lin Pinqi comforted her, otherwise she would be restless.

Sitting with Madam Ye at this time and talking about this matter, in fact, no one is more at ease than the other, they all have lingering fears.

Lin Chuqian sat with him for a while, and then left with Ye Zhaojun after finding an excuse.

When the two arrived in the backyard, Ye Zhaojun tugged at her sleeve and suddenly asked, "Ah Qian, do you think Xiaoyue's mother is still alive?"

"Fate is determined by the sky, let's see the good fortune of their mother and daughter."

Who knows whether Xiaoyue, who opened her mouth to emphasize that she is not her younger brother, is staying with her mother who is seriously ill at this time, or is dying with her mother in a foreign country?
-

Chen domestic and foreign troubles, the plague makes people frightened, and the people in the city are in panic.

The only thing that Zhen Youming can be gratified about is that after Li Zijing arrived in the northwest with an army of [-], he won the first battle, won a few moderate victories, and recaptured the small cities that had been invaded.

If all the foreign races are successfully defeated, the people will be able to return to their homeland, the disaster will be cured, and the Chen Kingdom will regain stability and prosperity.

In the capital city, due to the severe epidemic situation outside the city, the hustle and bustle of traffic on the streets in the past has calmed down a lot.

The royal relatives and nobles kept their doors behind closed doors, fearing that they would be infected with the plague.

Except for necessary walking and purchasing in the government, almost never leave the house.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and Lin Chuqian was not used to seeing the deserted outside while sitting in the carriage.

She didn't go out this time because she was greedy for fun, but because at this moment when everyone was in danger, she suddenly thought of her elder brother who was living outside.

Driving around the streets, she opened the curtains and carefully observed every alley and every tavern.

After searching for a few days, I finally found nothing.

This had to make her start to worry about whether Lin Feize had gone out of the city, and if she accidentally contracted the plague again, what would she do?
Tsk - if I had known the last time I met him, I should have knocked him out and carried him back.

It's good now, no one is alive, no corpse is dead.

"Miss, it's getting dark, should we continue to look for the young master?" Xiangguo asked in frustration.

Lin Chuqian looked at the lifeless alleyway, thinking that He Changsheng might be the only one who often goes out of the city now.

Maybe you can ask him for help.

"We diverted to Yuedanping."

The coachman nodded quickly, the street was empty, and the road went very smoothly.

Xiangguo asked suspiciously: "Miss, what are we going to do in Yuedanping?"

"Go and try your luck."

In fact, Lin Chuqian didn't know if He Changsheng would be in Yuedanping, and if not, she didn't know where to find him.

After all, it is impossible for her to visit He's house.

The carriage quickly stopped in front of Yuedanping's door, Lin Chuqian got up and got out of the car, stepped into the gate and found that there were still a few literati inside who were still discussing poetry, calligraphy and painting in a low voice.

She looked up in a blink of an eye and saw a new couplet on the beam.

"As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world."

Taking a careful look at Caitou, he couldn't help laughing.

At the foot of the couplet, two sweet potatoes are vividly painted.

Inexplicably poked her cute spot.

Hiss—a bit like treating Jun Caishuo.

"Miss Lin." Xia Mingyuan upstairs was quite happy to see her, and hurried down the stairs.

The elegant and easy-going man smiled all over his face, and asked earnestly: "I wonder if Miss Lin is here to find Prime Minister He, or to confront the Shanglian?"

"..." Lin Chuqian felt a little strange in her heart, why Xia Yuanming was so enthusiastic towards her all of a sudden.

She touched her nose and decided to start with the second line. "I happened to pass by and saw Yue Danping's first couplet, and I happened to know the second couplet, so today I will make a fool of myself."

Xia Yuanming smiled and waited for her next question without saying a word. In fact, He Changsheng had already told him that if he saw Lin Chuqian coming here, he could take her up to the second floor as if he were himself.

When Prime Minister He told us about this matter, we silently added Wang Ergou at the end.

Although Xia Yuanming didn't know why Wang Ergou and Lin Chuqian could be regarded as the same, it was enough to see that He Changsheng attached great importance to her.

That being the case, he naturally couldn't neglect it.

Lin Chuqian didn't know the truth, cleared her throat, and said slowly, "If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night?"

Xia Yuanming secretly sighed a good poem, got up quickly and wrote the couplet, and then hung it on the beam.

Putting the upper and lower couplets together, the audience all applauded.

However, Lin Chuqian felt that it was strange that they hung up together even if they didn't agree with each other. Shouldn't they be taken down and rewritten in a new Shanglian?

"Mr. Xia, why did you hang up?"

Seeing her doubts, Xia Yuanming quickly explained with a smile: "The prime minister has not written the Shanglian, so he can only hang it here first."

Lin Chuqian raised her eyes and looked at the poems full of love between men and women, and she couldn't believe it no matter what she thought.

Xia Yuanming, with a businesslike appearance, welcomed her to the private room on the second floor,
Sitting at the table, Lin Chuqian glanced around at the books and official documents piled up in the room, thinking that it was the place where He Changsheng handles official business on a daily basis.

"Mr. Xia, if Prime Minister He is not here, I can come back another day."

Xia Yuanming served hot tea, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, he quickly lit a candle.

"The prime minister will come back around this time every day, and Miss Laurin will wait for a while."

Lin Chuqian didn't mind waiting, but Xiangguo's rations were finished, and she was hungry and wanted to go home for dinner.

After thinking about it, she asked Xia Yuanming. "Mr. Xia, since I have written the second couplet, I wonder if those two sweet potatoes should be given to me?"

It's embarrassing to say that.

Xia Yuanming was taken aback for a moment, with a delicate expression on his face. "Miss Lin should wait for the prime minister to come back before asking him for it."

"..."

So Lin Chuqian could only helplessly shrug her shoulders at Xiangguo. "I don't have to eat sweet potatoes either."

Xiangguo seldom goes out of the house in recent days due to the severity of the epidemic, and Ji Zan has always been saving his rations, so he will wait here with her hungry, and her anxiety makes her walk back and forth in the house non-stop.

Seeing her like this, Lin Chuqian had no choice but to let her go to the street to buy some food to fill her stomach first, so as not to dangle in front of her.

As soon as Xiangguo got the order, she happily pushed the door open and left, walking down the stairs with ease and joy.
