There is a cool breeze and the fragrance of birds and flowers.Occasionally, a squirrel jumped out of the branch, staring at the sudden visitor with its big round eyes.
This is a newly opened road, passing through the woods, among the continuous greenery, like a winding white line, connecting the north and the south.The trees on both sides are a hundred years old, vigorous and straight, towering and not falling down.
Xiaomei was riding on Shayan's back, and she could just see the squirrel holding fruit on the branch and looking at him in amazement.He felt curious and looked at it. The squirrel was stunned, and quietly hugged the fruit even tighter. Xiaomei reached out to explore, and the squirrel ran away along the tree trunk.
The corner of Xiaomei's mouth was smiling, there was a lot of fun in the mountains.Sha Yan found delicious food and stopped to eat.Xiaomei didn't rush, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.
In the past few months, it was only a few days, he walked slowly, seeing the lakes and mountains, pavilions, towers and pavilions.I lament the infinite wisdom of the people, their uncanny workmanship, their admiration for the greatness of nature, and their tolerance for all rivers.
Xiaomei dismounted to rest, and Sha Yan also lay down, snuggling up beside him, rolling up the dry food in his hand with his tongue.Xiaomei moved her hand away and blamed: "I only ate this after you ate all the way. I can't give it to you."
Sha Yan rubbed her head on Xiaomei's arm, as if acting like a spoiled child.Xiaomei simply leaned on his head, and murmured to herself: "Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. I don't know how long it will take to get there, but I just want to see it. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Sha Yan didn't respond, but Xiaomei looked up at it, already falling asleep.Xiaomei laughed at herself: "How do you understand?"
Xiaomei pulled out the map and spread it on her lap, the winding road wrapped around his heart, binding him tightly.He marked a red finish, halfway to the end of the journey.
This road is not difficult, but it is unforgettable.
As for the end point, whether it will be the end of the trip, he is not sure.Take one step, count one step.
If it wasn't what I imagined, this journey would really be over.
From then on, there is only the way back, not the way back.
Xiaomei put away the map, and saw a squirrel staring at his dry food. These little guys are not afraid of people at all, and they are not stage-frightened when they look at you. If they are naughty, they will harass them. They will run to some students' baskets and compete for food .Xiaomei picked up the dry rations, and the squirrel ran towards the rations. Xiaomei threatened, "If you come again, I'll catch you." The squirrel turned around, was vigilant, and disappeared in a flash.
With the wheels rolling, a carriage slowly approached.Xiaomei wants to wake Sha Yan to make way, but the carriage gradually stops.The woman's coquettish voice came: "Uncle, can't you take a break? I feel dizzy."
The middle-aged man who was traveling with him compromised: "Okay, okay, get out of the car and rest."
The driver stopped the car, the middle-aged man lifted the curtain, the driver helped him out of the car, the middle-aged man turned around, and helped the woman get out of the car.
Xiaomei saw that the middle-aged man looked familiar, as if he was an old acquaintance.
The woman didn't need to be supported at all, and got out of the car with a light jump.Wearing a veil, her figure is very slender, and she is upright and young.Seeing the lingering butterflies by the roadside, regardless of the anxious expression of the middle-aged man, he went to catch the butterflies by himself.The middle-aged man turned around, Xiaomei was infinitely surprised.
The middle-aged man also saw Xiaomei and came to greet her slowly.
"Brother Li." Xiaomei saluted, "It really is you."
Li Shizhen also smiled: "Little brother, don't come here unharmed, where do you want to go?"
Xiaomei replied: "I feel depressed recently, so I went out for a walk. Where does Brother Li want to go?"
Li Shizhen looked a little heavy: "Recently, I got news that the plague in Luoshi Town is spreading, and I am going to save people."
"Plague?" Xiaomei was incredulous, "How can there be a plague if it's fine?"
Li Shizhen was also puzzled: "I don't have any countermeasures, I won't know until I arrive."
Xiaomei thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li, I will go with you too."
Li Shizhen suddenly beamed with joy: "I'm afraid I won't have enough manpower, so I have to bring my niece with me. My little brother is willing to go to help, and I am very grateful."
Xiaomei said modestly, "Brother Li didn't say anything, I'm afraid his medical skills are not good enough, which will slow him down."
Li Shizhen was polite and called her niece to meet Xiaomei. "This is my niece, and her name is Qing."
Xiaomei cupped her hands: "Miss Li, be polite."
Li Qing took off her veil and said with a blessed voice, "Then what should I call you? You call me Uncle Big Brother, and you are not a few years older than me. Isn't it too old for me to call you Uncle?"
Xiaomei smiled shyly: "You can call me whatever you want. If you don't mind, you can call me Xiaomei."
Li Qing shook her head: "Well, that's not acceptable. My uncle will say that I have no rules, but you really are not from my uncle."
Li Shizhen glanced at her lightly, and she hurriedly explained: "Uncle, I didn't say you were old." Li Shizhen couldn't laugh or cry even more.Li Qing said again: "I can't call you by your name, I call you Brother He, and you don't have to be polite to call me a girl, just call me Qingqing."
Xiaomei smiled back.Li Shizhen half coaxed and half ordered Li Qing to set off.Xiaomei wakes up Shayan, Shayan stands up lazily, stumbles, Xiaomei teases it: "What are you dreaming about?" Shayan shakes the soil, and becomes more energetic, Xiaomei turns over, walks behind the carriage, and heads for Luoshi Town.
The farmhouses near the town are no longer inhabited, and the fields in the outskirts are overgrown with weeds and crowded with insects and birds.Going closer, I saw a farmer wrapping himself tightly, leaving only two eyes.Even though the heat is over, it won't feel good to wear it like this.
Xiaomei and the assistant driving the car have already covered their mouths and noses with square scarves, so be careful.The assistant asked the farmer where he was going and what was going on in the town.The farmer replied: "If you come here to play, please leave early. Once you are infected with the plague, you will be expelled."
Xiaomei asked: "Since the plague is so severe, no one has given medicine to save people?"
The farmer sighed: "Where is there medicine to give away? Even if you buy it, you can't afford it. This half of the city is infected with the plague, and the other half of the city is blocked by walls, and no sick person is allowed to pass."
Xiaomei couldn't help feeling chills in her heart, she just didn't give medical treatment and medicine, and she didn't care about the patient's life or death, how could she be so irresponsible as a parent official?
Several people went to see the doctor at the farmer's house, and before entering the house, they could smell the stench of rotten flesh. Xiaomei tried to resist the nausea, but Li Qing couldn't bear it, holding her heart to vomit.Xiaomei helped her and comforted her: "If you can't bear it, go back to the car."
Li Qing shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
The person who had the plague was lying on his back on the bed, his limbs were tied with hemp rope, his bare arms and chest were covered with black and blue spots, interlaced with bloodstains.He kept rubbing his back against the bed, and shouted, "Itches, it hurts. You guys kill me, kill me with one knife."
The farmer put the stool in front of the bed and said: "This is the case with people who have the plague. We can't help but catch ourselves bloody."
Xiaomei frowned slightly, unable to bear it.Li Shizhen wanted to step forward to feel the pulse, but Xiaomei sat down first: "Brother Li, you grab the prescription, and I will take care of the consultation."
Li Shizhen refused: "You are young, don't be reckless."
Xiaomei smiled back: "I'm not good at medicine, if I get plague, brother Li can still save me."
Li Qing also said, "Uncle, I know Brother He shouldn't be allowed to take risks, but you are more important."
Li Shizhen didn't say any more.Xiaomei took the pulse and explained the symptoms at the same time.After the diagnosis, Li Shizhen first prescribed antipruritic medicine, and ordered his assistant to decoct it for him to take.He also inquired about nearby people, and the farmer led them to see a doctor one by one.When several farmers came down, the symptoms were similar, which showed that it was a kind of disease.Li Shizhen prescribed anti-itch and analgesic medicines, took out samples, and asked those who could still support to go to the mountains to collect medicines.The medicines they brought were limited, and what they could get daily was taken locally.
After a few days, although the sick person can rely on drugs to relieve pain and itching, he still does not see any improvement.Xiaomei and Li Shizhen studied whether acupuncture and moxibustion was feasible, and they also obtained the patient's consent to apply acupuncture for ventilation, but it still didn't work.
The so-called plague is just a name given to it by sudden illnesses that cannot be understood for a while, and the causes of the symptoms are related to the geographical climate and environment. It is not easy to prescribe the right medicine. All the causes must be sorted out before the medicine can be carefully dispensed. .
Xiaomei, Li Shizhen and Li Qing checked every day, but the information they could get was only a drop in the bucket.Only a few of them will never be able to cure this disease in a short period of time. With the integration of thoughts, one more person will have more strength and more confidence.Li Shizhen and Xiaomei decided to go to the other half of the city and call together all the doctors to fight against the disease together.
All the way into the city, you can see people dying of illness on the side of the road, with rotten skin and mosquito bites, which is shocking.
The other half of the city is another world-changing world, separated by a wall, singing and dancing.
Several people were a little bit angry, they suppressed it and stayed in the inn.
On the second day, they searched various medical centers, and it was okay to buy medicine, but when they heard that they were helping people suffering from the plague together, everyone refused with excuses.
"Boss Shan, you are also a respected celebrity. The plague is rampant in Luoshi Town. If you are willing to help, you will be everyone's savior. Everyone will be grateful to you." Li Shizhen persuaded with kind words.The boss of Shan Xitang was still unmoved: "This old man is also a person who stepped into the palace of the King of Hades with half his life, and he cannot stand such a torment."
Occasionally, a face poked out from behind the door curtain, and tried to come out several times, but was pulled back.Xiaomei found out that he might be the boss's son, thinking that it might be feasible to stimulate him with words, but she also thought that everyone has their own ambitions, so I can't force it.
After persuasion for a while, the single boss remained unmoved.On the other hand, the medicinal materials in the store can be sold at cost price.This is a gratifying move.Xiaomei took out the few bank notes she had on her body and asked the boss to count the available medicinal materials.Now that the boss of the order has already opened his mouth, he counts according to the cost of the drug price. After the liquidation is completed, Xiaomei still has 50 taels of banknotes left.
The assistants pulled the carriage, filled it with medicinal materials, and transported it to the place where it was needed.Xiaomei, Li Shizhen and Li Qing went down again.Some shops unwilling to sell medicinal materials at a low price were jealous, so they united to sue the government.
When officers and soldiers came to arrest him, Xiaomei, Li Shizhen and Li Qing were treating patients.The person who came came plausibly said: "You guys spread rumors to confuse the public and seriously disrupt the order of our town. You should be detained for interrogation."
Xiaomei couldn't bear it any longer, so she detained the arrester and asked people to go back to report, and asked the county magistrate to come and pick him up.The county magistrate didn't want to set foot in this stinking place, but because of his own face, he came in a sedan chair in a mighty manner.Along the way, those who suffered from the plague saw the county magistrate passing by on a sedan chair, and they all said that the county magistrate had shown mercy and rescued them from the flames.
The county magistrate didn't know, and said, "I drove them out, and they still come to worship me?"
The master flattered: "They must know that you care about them, the magistrate, and thank you."
Although it was a joke, the county magistrate had a trace of regret after all.Now outsiders are aware of the plague in the town, if someone cures it, and if the news spreads, the hat on his head may be lost.As soon as he got off the sedan chair, the county magistrate yelled: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." On the one hand, he scolded the head arrester: "How do you do things? I asked you to invite some doctors, why are you still doing it? Go back and get the second Ten boards." Then he said with a smile to Xiaomei: "Little brothers, don't get angry, they are confused and don't understand what I mean, you have traveled through mountains and rivers to save our Luoshi Town, the county is very grateful."
Hearing what he said, Xiaomei couldn't help wondering whether it was true. The county magistrate persuaded her with four or five words, and he let her go.The county magistrate also said: "This plague is really a headache. The county has already called all the doctors and doctors to discuss the solution, but there is nothing that can be done. The plague is too powerful."
Li Shizhen said: "All diseases have traces to follow. As long as we find out the root cause, we can find a cure."
The county magistrate said again and again: "Scholar Li is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, it really makes the county feel ashamed. If Xueshi Li can really save everyone, the county will personally engrave a biography for you, and it will last forever."
Li Shizhen was not a powerful person, and only said: "It is the duty of a doctor to save people, and he does not want to be famous."
The county magistrate also praised him for his integrity, and offered them many cheap terms. After receiving Li Shizhen's guarantee, he left with a smile on his face.
Li Qing was not used to it, so he complained: "He obviously wants us to give him all the credit, no shame."
Li Shizhen warned: "Don't talk nonsense."
After thinking about it, Xiaomei felt that the change of the county magistrate's attitude was only for his own fame, but no matter what, they finally had support, and the treatment would save a lot of trouble, which is still gratifying.
As soon as the county magistrate left, Shan Bai, the son of Shan Xitang's boss, stepped in through the back door and said sincerely, "Mr. Li, I want to save them with you."
Xiaomei and Li Qing smiled and nodded, Li Shizhen was worried: "Your father won't agree, so don't let him worry."
Shan Bai said: "Just now I heard the words of the county master, if we cure this plague, everyone will know that there is me, and there is Shan Xitang, my father is too happy to be too late."
Li Shizhen asked again: "Are you so confident?"
"I believe in you, and I also believe in us, and it will definitely be cured."
Li Shizhen left him behind and assigned him a task. Everyone who had the plague had to be inspected.Those who are strong and able to work will help dig the dead and bury them.
The wounded need a clean environment, not to mention the plague.Clothes worn by those patients were incinerated centrally.Then take clean water and scrub the patient's body every day.
In order to facilitate the treatment, the county magistrate distributed money to set up a temporary hospital, where all the sick people were placed one by one, and their families took care of them.
The county magistrate called people to ask what they needed, and Li Shizhen and Xiaomei were not polite, telling them to clean up the rubbish on the roadside and nearby.For example, the sewage flowing out of the dyeing workshop is dug for centralized treatment to ensure that the river is clean.Straw and other things must not be burned privately, and trees must not be felled indiscriminately.
The county magistrate thought it was feasible and implemented it in more than ten towns.In just one month, the entire county has taken on a new look.
Some small pharmacies heard that there were learned people here, and they came here to visit. Li Shizhen saw that everyone was sincerely studying, and she did not hide it, and told them one by one.
In the end, the boss of Shan Xitang also joined in, saying that he was short-sighted, and that he shouldn't be doing it for his own selfishness. Now he has called all the members of the Medical Association, and he only wants to unite as one to defeat the disease.
Li Shizhen's face that had been silent all this time finally had a gleam of light, and everyone sat together to discuss the cause of the illness.Some say it was caused by the previous earthquake, and the poisonous gas emitted from the ground caused it. Some say that birds and animals got sick and infected people.
Although Xiaomei also studies medicine, he usually studies poison meridians more, and now he believes that medicine is extensive, and there are people beyond people and beyond.
The night sky is full of stars, twinkling like lights of hope.The brightest one is the North Star, which will always point the way to the confused people.At this moment, is it also above the Forbidden City, telling him that the person he cares about is in the Forbidden City.
"Brother He, are you homesick?"
Xiaomei turned her head, and Li Qing looked at him curiously: "Uncle told me that you are from the capital, and there are four of you, Yizhimei, and now you are the only one. You must be missing them, right?"
Xiaomei smiled: "I really miss them, it's been almost a year since I left them."
"Brother He, tell me some stories about Yizhimei? I guess it must be thrilling."
Xiaomei couldn't help smiling: "It's too horrible."
Li Qing laughed from ear to ear.She smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth, very cute.
Almost every day, patients die, family members cry, and people complain. When will this ruthless disease be eradicated.
Xiaomei was tossing and turning among the patients every day, watching, hearing, asking, and recording the symptoms of the patients.Li Shizhen worked with the doctors to develop new medicines.New sick patients were constantly being sent in to the hospital, and the plague was still spreading at an inestimable speed.People worked day and night, followed and investigated, and finally managed to get a clue of the illness.Li Shizhen immediately convened everyone to discuss and tentatively decided on a plan, but how effective the new medicine will be is unknown, and people's lives should not be used for experiments.
An old man heard that there was a new medicine, so he volunteered to try it, and asked his family's permission to let him take the new medicine.A few days later, the old man came back to life and was full of energy, but after only two days, the old man died and the new medicine failed.
The family members looked for death and life, and Li Shizhen was depressed.
The weather is getting cooler day by day, during this period of time busy with the plague, Xiaomei will delay taking medicine, and now she coughs non-stop whenever she catches a cold.He felt some itching on his back, and scratched it with his hands, but he was suddenly stunned, feeling a bad premonition.
He hurried to the mirror, unbuttoned his clothes and looked, and sure enough, he saw faint blue lines on his back.
"Brother He." Li Qing pushed the door open and entered the room, Xiaomei hadn't recovered from her panic, her pale face was dripping with cold sweat.He was infected with the plague.Will die here?Seeing that his back was turning blue, Li Qing screamed out: "Brother He, you, this is impossible." She told Uncle to run out, and Li Shizhen hurried into the room.Worried all over his face, he hurriedly took his pulse, and his face became more and more gloomy.
Xiaomei put on her clothes quietly, and said in a deep voice, "Have you been diagnosed, Brother Li?" Li Shizhen was silent.Li Qing cried: "No way."
Xiaomei was silent for a while, and begged in a low voice: "You guys go back first. I'll be quiet for a while."
He only shed tears when the person left, and all his illusions were shattered.Like crazy, he grinds, writes, puts all the lovesickness of this year on paper, sends it to the Forbidden City, and sends it to Yunhe. He doesn't care whether he wants to see it or whether he can see it. , he sent it, there will be a glimmer of hope.
The next day, he came back from the Escort and said to Li Shizhen: "Brother Li, you can use me as an experiment! I know some medical principles, and I can explain many diseases more clearly."
Li Shizhen nodded heavily.
New medicines were drank from his mouth again and again, vomiting, headaches, and itching all over his body rushed to fill him, and he had to maintain his sanity to say them word by word.Li Qing watched over him day and night, weeping like pear blossoms and rain, he comforted: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
In the end, he really couldn't stay awake, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't love it.But he still can't give up, no one here has given up, and neither can he.Yunhe's letter hasn't come back yet, so he can't just die like this.
Li Shizhen has been working non-stop for several days, preparing new medicines, analyzing pathology, synthesizing Xiaomei's narrative, overturning some opinions, and starting all over again. He must ensure that the medicine is fully effective before he can fully promote it, and the people who test the medicine are undoubtedly the most serious. .
The new medicine was formulated again, and Li Qing worriedly fed Xiaomei to drink it, praying: "God, you must bless me, this time the medicine can cure the disease."
On the first day, Xiaomei did not improve.Continue to feed the medicine, and the second day, the condition was controlled without deterioration.Li Qing almost cried with joy, and kept calling Xiaomei to wake up, not letting him fall asleep.On the third day, his condition stabilized.The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day... every day gets better and better.
With a smile on Xiaomei's thin face, she comforted Li Qing: "I said I will be fine."
Li Qing cried and nodded: "Yes, I also know that you will be fine."
Li Shizhen was infinitely grateful, with tears in her eyes.Xiaomei smiled and said, "Brother Li, thank you for saving me. Sure enough, I am right?"
Li Shizhen said: "I made you suffer."
Xiaomei shook her head and said, "It's worth it to change all of their lives by myself."
The new drug was configured successfully.The plague situation in Luoshi Town is fully under control.The first of its kind in the country.Earlier, the magistrate heard that he allocated countless funds for the research and development of new medicines.Now I'm afraid Gao Sheng's official document will be delivered soon.The ten measures to keep the environment clean in this county were appreciated by the imperial court, and they were immediately published and implemented nationwide.
The county magistrate's face was full of red, and he was already a well-known parent official in Daming, and he was a little more friendly when talking to the common people.Shan Xitang became famous, and the medicinal materials he planted were directly paid as tribute.
The twilight is quiet and the moon is clear.
Xiaomei sighed softly: "It's only been a month since I lay down, and I feel like I've been reborn."
Li Shizhen's face was calm, and she warned carefully: "From now on, I can't forget to take medicine again. I didn't know that you had an old illness before. If I knew, I would never allow you to be so desperate."
Xiaomei smiled and said, "Brother Li, you saved this life, so you must protect it well."
Li Shizhen smiled, and changed the subject: "In ten days, we can leave. Where are you going?"
Xiaomei blinked and said, "Go to the hometown of an old friend and see where he used to live."
"It is indeed a blessing to have a confidant in life. But, have you ever thought about walking with others?"
Xiaomei was puzzled: "What does Brother Li mean?"
Li Shizhen only asked, "How is my niece?"
Xiaomei froze, her clear eyes were infinitely shocked.Vaguely said: "Miss Li is generous and beautiful, knowledgeable and reasonable, which is rare in the world."
Li Shizhen said with a smile: "I'm flattering her. Tomorrow, Boss Shan invited us to enjoy the flowers in his medicine garden. Get up early."
Xiaomei nodded, and understood what Li Shizhen was saying.
Li Qing picked a lot of flowers in the medicine garden, smiling innocently.Xiaomei looked at her quietly, and couldn't help but smile.It is really enviable to have the original childlike innocence without human affection.
Li Qing ran towards Xiaomei holding flowers, and said with a smile, "Can't you walk?"
Xiaomei replied softly: "It's also beautiful to look at here."
Li Qing sat beside him, playing with the flowers in his hand, and said, "Did my uncle tell you something last night?"
Xiaomei was surprised: "He told you?"
"He asked me a long time ago. It's just that I didn't say it clearly."
Xiaomei has a new understanding of her. She is young, but her thinking is mature.He said: "Qingqing, you are a rare and good girl. You should find someone who knows how to cherish you for the rest of your life. Thank you for taking care of me forever. It's just that my heart belongs to you, and it's not fair to you."
Li Qing stopped fiddling with the flower branches suddenly, then continued fiddling for a moment, and said: "I admit that I like you very much. When you said that you were going to use yourself as an experiment, I thought you were a shining person. But I Knowing that you have someone else in your heart, when you were unconscious, you called out a name." After a moment of pause, her tone became curious: "Is that her name? Yunhe, are you going to be Xianyunyehe?"
Xiaomei couldn't answer her.
Li Qing said again: "It seems that I guessed wrong. Are you going to her hometown?"
"Yeah." Xiaomei didn't hide it, "Look for an answer. From the moment I was infected with the plague, I became more determined. If I can survive, I must find this answer. I don't want to let myself spend my whole life in a daze."
"I support you." Li Qing encouraged him, "Then I wish you two will be united forever."
Xiaomei smiled, hoping so.
On the palace wall, the moon is shining brightly, and it is sprinkled on the lakeside, paving a place of starlight.
The palace lady held up the extinguishing candleshade to extinguish the extra palace lanterns in the corridor, and it was quiet, except for the croaking of frogs from the lake in the distance.
The candlelight is dimmed, but Yunhe still writes and writes articles.Half a month ago, the examination papers were submitted to the Supervisor of Rituals, and the emperor asked him to read them one by one, brainstorming, and also asked him to make more references, and then to be a consultant for the emperor's selection of trusted talents.He took time out of his busy schedule to read it carefully, and found many novel and valuable things. The current scientific examination has almost established a fixed pattern. Many candidates only answer questions about famous officials from ancient times in order to go ashore safely. Occasionally there may be a newborn calf, the writing is from the time, and the insights are unique.After reading it, he thought about it and benefited a lot, so he forgot to sleep and eat, and started to study it.
Prior to this, land taxation, oil, rice, tea and salt, and the implementation of reforms had all been slowly on the right track.But we can't worry about the hidden dangers one by one. The small people in the court have many powers, and I answer from time to time to provoke, the pirates invade the coast, and the Portuguese from outside are also ready to move. There are many internal and external troubles.
The waiter gently cut off the candles and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, it's late at night, you should rest."
Yunhe raised his head, it was already dark and the palace lanterns were off.He looked at the waiter, only to realize that he was no longer a day-to-day waiter, and he only said: "The last part, you ask someone to prepare the water, and I will go there in a while."
The waiter took the order and asked again: "Does the lord need to eat?"
Yunhe lowered his head and continued writing: "No need."
Back in the room, the maid had already prepared the soup pool, he was indeed tired, soaked for a long time, seemed to fall asleep in a daze, faintly heard the sound of laughter, there was a figure in front of him, handsome and unrestrained, walking away from him Go, he wanted to chase, but he fell further behind, scared in his heart, and woke up suddenly.
It was a dream.
Yunhe put on his clothes and went back to his bedroom.When the maid made the bed, she heard his footsteps and turned around to serve him.
Yunhe saw that she was only wearing a silk nightgown with slanted breasts, which was thin and tight, and said with concern: "It's cold at night, put on an extra coat, and be careful of catching cold."
The maid's cheeks flushed suddenly, she thanked her in a low voice, and said, "I just changed the bedding, I'm afraid it's still a bit cold, does the lord need to use the stove to dry it?"
"No." Yun He was really tired, he stretched out his hands, and allowed the maid to undress.The maid's hand was untying the sash around his waist, and he rubbed it for a while as if he couldn't feel it. He didn't blame him. He didn't understand until the maid unbuttoned his skirt with both hands, and slowly stroked his chest, wanting to go to his breast. Suppressing her anger, she warned: "Yuxiu, you are also from a scholarly family, so girls should be reserved."
The hand on his chest froze suddenly, and he knelt down: "My lord forgives my sin, and so do my servants, there is no other choice."
Yunhe looked down at her, with a cold expression on his face, knowing that she kept her own life, there must be a reason for it, so she didn't feel embarrassed: "Get up, I don't blame you, I will go to explain to the emperor tomorrow, you should be careful in the future, don't let me People have taken the blame, from today onwards, you don’t have to sleep in this room to serve, and move to the next door. If there is something to do, I will naturally call you.”
The maid said yes, and turned to tidy up the bedding. Seeing that she was alone, Yunhe finally couldn't bear it: "Forget it, it'll be the same tomorrow."
He lay down on his own, and the maid quietly extinguished the candle, and the empty room was filled with loneliness.Over the past year, the emperor had repeatedly hinted at giving him a marriage and concubine, but he refused one by one. Occasionally, news from the people came in, and he stayed by the emperor's side until the emperor ordered him to be expelled.He had no other way but to know Xiaomei's news in this way.I answered that he invaded Datong from time to time, he led troops to go out twice, and after he left for a month or two, he didn't know what the folk news was, and when he returned to the palace, there were other news.Qing Xiao was named a general, and he often went out to fight, and he really didn't have a confidant by his side.
Occasionally he feels too alone.In the court, his great future has been developed, and he can also gallop on the battlefield. Many people dream of his life and pursue it desperately.He can't just say that he can ignore all these things, and he has his own responsibility for his children's personal affairs, but he also hopes to see him often and know that he is all right.
On the second day, he made it clear to the emperor that he had no distractions and only wanted to sort out the follow-up of many reforms.The emperor looked angry and still put the matter aside.
The sun and the moon alternate, and the autumn wind suddenly blows.
The palace examination is over, and the number one scholar on the gold list is the icing on the cake.
I replied and retreated again, Datong regained its defense, and the border was peaceful.
In the Anti-Japanese War in Macau, the enemy was defeated and the coast was victorious.
The common people have a good harvest, with many fruits and grains.
Qionglin jade banquet, singing and dancing to promote peace.
The emperor beamed, and all the officials laughed again and again.
Yunhe got up and went to the empty stone steps alone, that was the last time he saw Xiaomei, a blurred back, since then, Yiren was not there.
The melodious bells rang one after another from his heart, and the high sun was as hot as fire, illuminating the red wall and blue tiles with affection and righteousness.
The emperor's oral order came again, that Yuxiuhui of the Yan family has a heart of blue, and if King Gaomi wants to, she can be registered as a princess and return to her hometown together.
Yunhe knelt straight, unwilling.
The emperor walked away with a flick of his sleeve, leaving him alone to think about his mistakes, and even all the servants withdrew.
For ten days, he was not allowed to step out of the gate of the courtyard, and he was imprisoned to death, and it finally started from here.
No copy was sent again, and there was no reform to invite him to participate. There were only messengers who asked him if he had received the order.He said one word at a time: "I beg the emperor to take good care of Yifeng, and don't force him any more."
The more leisure I have, the more I miss him. Xiaomei, who has not heard from her, has not heard from her for half a year. Where did he go, or who did he meet?With or without pain, or joy or not?
The autumn rain is continuous, and the leaves on the lakeside have begun to fall, scattered on the lake, desolate and hopeless.
Such days, the rest of my life, are still very long.
A waiter jumped down from the high wall like a flying eagle, handed a letter into his hand, then jumped up the high wall again, and disappeared.
Holding the letter, his heart was like a boulder thrown into the lake, smashing the peace of the lake.
It's Xiaomei's character.
As if he had found a treasure, he carefully opened it and held it in the palm of his hand.
"... until this time of life and death, I can still care about you, my heart is enough..."
He still cares about him so much!
But, did Xiaomei survive?He had never heard of it, and everyone kept him a secret.He went out of the courtyard privately, went to see the emperor, and begged the emperor to tell him whether Xiaomei was alive or dead.Emperor Longyan was furious, and ordered someone to arrest him and monitor him day and night. If he dared to take another step, no matter where He Xiaomei was in the world, he would die without a place to bury him.
Yunhe was afraid, so he was confinement in a small courtyard every day, enjoying the honor of the prince, but he was more powerless than a prisoner.
The emperor's messenger is still day after day, and his determination is getting worse day by day.
The emperor finally couldn't bear it, and personally interrogated him.
"I'll ask you again, are you willing or not?"
He knelt straight, with firm firmness between his thin eyebrows: "I am willing to do my best for the emperor, but He Xiaomei, I can't let it go, I beg the emperor to take it back."
"I have tolerated and regressed again and again, and you are still so stubborn?"
"Chen, I would like to die for the emperor, I just ask the emperor not to force me to marry someone else."
The emperor was furious and reprimanded: "He Xiaomei is dead, what are you planning?"
Yunhe froze in place as if struck by lightning.
The emperor seemed to be still waiting for his answer, but he couldn't say anything, he was so numb that he didn't feel a thing, and all the firm lines of defense were broken.
The emperor left, and a few days later, the imperial physician came to report that the prince did not cry or make noise, he might have become ill from depression, the emperor was furious, and questioned him face to face again.But I saw that he just didn't make trouble or cry, and his face was lifeless.Three meals a day are eaten like puppets.A letter was spread out on the desk in front of the bed, and the emperor picked it up and read it from beginning to end.
Ask him again, "What are you going to do?"
Yunhe was a little tired, but that arrogance still made him handsome and luxurious, and there was no trace of depravity in his tone: "I live a day, and I will see the prosperity of this world for him."
He may still not want to believe it, and he is separated from him by yin and yang.
The emperor put down the letter paper gradually, and asked depressingly, "You still don't put it down?"
Yunhe's dry eyes were bloodshot, and he replied firmly: "I can't let go."
The emperor's angry eyes finally faded, and he put the thin sheet of paper on the table, as if letting go of all restraints, and whispered: "I will fulfill you, Bi Yun."
Bi Yun, who was hidden outside the door, entered with a jug and a porcelain cup.
The emperor said coldly: "The royal face cannot be lost. Since you are so obsessed with obsession, I have no other choice."
Bi Yun handed the wine glass to him.
Yunhe looked sideways, the liquid wobbled, and when it entered his mouth, it was full of blood.Instead of being imprisoned for a lifetime, he may be willing to choose death, but he still has a little concern, begging: "Your Majesty, can you tell me whether Xiaomei is alive or dead?"
The emperor said nothing.
Yunhe slowly stretched out his hand, and touched the cup containing the liquid, it was bitingly cold.
He held the cup quietly, waiting for the emperor to give him an answer.
It was Bi Yun's voice: "He Xiaomei is still alive."
"Hehe." He suddenly laughed, and finally tears fell.
Weeping with joy, but heartbroken.
The emperor was still so indifferent: "You chose this path yourself, don't blame me for being cruel!"
He held it tightly and moved it to his mouth bit by bit.This journey, too many bits and pieces, are all contained in this glass of wine, but how can this glass of wine hold it?
The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the summer rain is lingering, the autumn water is beautiful, the winter is snowy, day and night, I will never forget it, and I will never regret it.
Now that you're all right, I don't have to worry anymore.
Swallow the cold liquid, the prosperity of this life will end here.
But, Xiaomei, in this life, I will never see you again.
The days are soaring.
Tiny white silks fluttered on the towering city walls, and the soldiers guarding the city wore white strips around their waists and plain scarves around their arms.
Xiaomei led Shayan and waited in line for inspection before entering the city.The mountains and rivers are far away, and he finally arrived at the place where he was born and raised.
This is a newly opened road, passing through the woods, among the continuous greenery, like a winding white line, connecting the north and the south.The trees on both sides are a hundred years old, vigorous and straight, towering and not falling down.
Xiaomei was riding on Shayan's back, and she could just see the squirrel holding fruit on the branch and looking at him in amazement.He felt curious and looked at it. The squirrel was stunned, and quietly hugged the fruit even tighter. Xiaomei reached out to explore, and the squirrel ran away along the tree trunk.
The corner of Xiaomei's mouth was smiling, there was a lot of fun in the mountains.Sha Yan found delicious food and stopped to eat.Xiaomei didn't rush, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.
In the past few months, it was only a few days, he walked slowly, seeing the lakes and mountains, pavilions, towers and pavilions.I lament the infinite wisdom of the people, their uncanny workmanship, their admiration for the greatness of nature, and their tolerance for all rivers.
Xiaomei dismounted to rest, and Sha Yan also lay down, snuggling up beside him, rolling up the dry food in his hand with his tongue.Xiaomei moved her hand away and blamed: "I only ate this after you ate all the way. I can't give it to you."
Sha Yan rubbed her head on Xiaomei's arm, as if acting like a spoiled child.Xiaomei simply leaned on his head, and murmured to herself: "Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. I don't know how long it will take to get there, but I just want to see it. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Sha Yan didn't respond, but Xiaomei looked up at it, already falling asleep.Xiaomei laughed at herself: "How do you understand?"
Xiaomei pulled out the map and spread it on her lap, the winding road wrapped around his heart, binding him tightly.He marked a red finish, halfway to the end of the journey.
This road is not difficult, but it is unforgettable.
As for the end point, whether it will be the end of the trip, he is not sure.Take one step, count one step.
If it wasn't what I imagined, this journey would really be over.
From then on, there is only the way back, not the way back.
Xiaomei put away the map, and saw a squirrel staring at his dry food. These little guys are not afraid of people at all, and they are not stage-frightened when they look at you. If they are naughty, they will harass them. They will run to some students' baskets and compete for food .Xiaomei picked up the dry rations, and the squirrel ran towards the rations. Xiaomei threatened, "If you come again, I'll catch you." The squirrel turned around, was vigilant, and disappeared in a flash.
With the wheels rolling, a carriage slowly approached.Xiaomei wants to wake Sha Yan to make way, but the carriage gradually stops.The woman's coquettish voice came: "Uncle, can't you take a break? I feel dizzy."
The middle-aged man who was traveling with him compromised: "Okay, okay, get out of the car and rest."
The driver stopped the car, the middle-aged man lifted the curtain, the driver helped him out of the car, the middle-aged man turned around, and helped the woman get out of the car.
Xiaomei saw that the middle-aged man looked familiar, as if he was an old acquaintance.
The woman didn't need to be supported at all, and got out of the car with a light jump.Wearing a veil, her figure is very slender, and she is upright and young.Seeing the lingering butterflies by the roadside, regardless of the anxious expression of the middle-aged man, he went to catch the butterflies by himself.The middle-aged man turned around, Xiaomei was infinitely surprised.
The middle-aged man also saw Xiaomei and came to greet her slowly.
"Brother Li." Xiaomei saluted, "It really is you."
Li Shizhen also smiled: "Little brother, don't come here unharmed, where do you want to go?"
Xiaomei replied: "I feel depressed recently, so I went out for a walk. Where does Brother Li want to go?"
Li Shizhen looked a little heavy: "Recently, I got news that the plague in Luoshi Town is spreading, and I am going to save people."
"Plague?" Xiaomei was incredulous, "How can there be a plague if it's fine?"
Li Shizhen was also puzzled: "I don't have any countermeasures, I won't know until I arrive."
Xiaomei thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li, I will go with you too."
Li Shizhen suddenly beamed with joy: "I'm afraid I won't have enough manpower, so I have to bring my niece with me. My little brother is willing to go to help, and I am very grateful."
Xiaomei said modestly, "Brother Li didn't say anything, I'm afraid his medical skills are not good enough, which will slow him down."
Li Shizhen was polite and called her niece to meet Xiaomei. "This is my niece, and her name is Qing."
Xiaomei cupped her hands: "Miss Li, be polite."
Li Qing took off her veil and said with a blessed voice, "Then what should I call you? You call me Uncle Big Brother, and you are not a few years older than me. Isn't it too old for me to call you Uncle?"
Xiaomei smiled shyly: "You can call me whatever you want. If you don't mind, you can call me Xiaomei."
Li Qing shook her head: "Well, that's not acceptable. My uncle will say that I have no rules, but you really are not from my uncle."
Li Shizhen glanced at her lightly, and she hurriedly explained: "Uncle, I didn't say you were old." Li Shizhen couldn't laugh or cry even more.Li Qing said again: "I can't call you by your name, I call you Brother He, and you don't have to be polite to call me a girl, just call me Qingqing."
Xiaomei smiled back.Li Shizhen half coaxed and half ordered Li Qing to set off.Xiaomei wakes up Shayan, Shayan stands up lazily, stumbles, Xiaomei teases it: "What are you dreaming about?" Shayan shakes the soil, and becomes more energetic, Xiaomei turns over, walks behind the carriage, and heads for Luoshi Town.
The farmhouses near the town are no longer inhabited, and the fields in the outskirts are overgrown with weeds and crowded with insects and birds.Going closer, I saw a farmer wrapping himself tightly, leaving only two eyes.Even though the heat is over, it won't feel good to wear it like this.
Xiaomei and the assistant driving the car have already covered their mouths and noses with square scarves, so be careful.The assistant asked the farmer where he was going and what was going on in the town.The farmer replied: "If you come here to play, please leave early. Once you are infected with the plague, you will be expelled."
Xiaomei asked: "Since the plague is so severe, no one has given medicine to save people?"
The farmer sighed: "Where is there medicine to give away? Even if you buy it, you can't afford it. This half of the city is infected with the plague, and the other half of the city is blocked by walls, and no sick person is allowed to pass."
Xiaomei couldn't help feeling chills in her heart, she just didn't give medical treatment and medicine, and she didn't care about the patient's life or death, how could she be so irresponsible as a parent official?
Several people went to see the doctor at the farmer's house, and before entering the house, they could smell the stench of rotten flesh. Xiaomei tried to resist the nausea, but Li Qing couldn't bear it, holding her heart to vomit.Xiaomei helped her and comforted her: "If you can't bear it, go back to the car."
Li Qing shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
The person who had the plague was lying on his back on the bed, his limbs were tied with hemp rope, his bare arms and chest were covered with black and blue spots, interlaced with bloodstains.He kept rubbing his back against the bed, and shouted, "Itches, it hurts. You guys kill me, kill me with one knife."
The farmer put the stool in front of the bed and said: "This is the case with people who have the plague. We can't help but catch ourselves bloody."
Xiaomei frowned slightly, unable to bear it.Li Shizhen wanted to step forward to feel the pulse, but Xiaomei sat down first: "Brother Li, you grab the prescription, and I will take care of the consultation."
Li Shizhen refused: "You are young, don't be reckless."
Xiaomei smiled back: "I'm not good at medicine, if I get plague, brother Li can still save me."
Li Qing also said, "Uncle, I know Brother He shouldn't be allowed to take risks, but you are more important."
Li Shizhen didn't say any more.Xiaomei took the pulse and explained the symptoms at the same time.After the diagnosis, Li Shizhen first prescribed antipruritic medicine, and ordered his assistant to decoct it for him to take.He also inquired about nearby people, and the farmer led them to see a doctor one by one.When several farmers came down, the symptoms were similar, which showed that it was a kind of disease.Li Shizhen prescribed anti-itch and analgesic medicines, took out samples, and asked those who could still support to go to the mountains to collect medicines.The medicines they brought were limited, and what they could get daily was taken locally.
After a few days, although the sick person can rely on drugs to relieve pain and itching, he still does not see any improvement.Xiaomei and Li Shizhen studied whether acupuncture and moxibustion was feasible, and they also obtained the patient's consent to apply acupuncture for ventilation, but it still didn't work.
The so-called plague is just a name given to it by sudden illnesses that cannot be understood for a while, and the causes of the symptoms are related to the geographical climate and environment. It is not easy to prescribe the right medicine. All the causes must be sorted out before the medicine can be carefully dispensed. .
Xiaomei, Li Shizhen and Li Qing checked every day, but the information they could get was only a drop in the bucket.Only a few of them will never be able to cure this disease in a short period of time. With the integration of thoughts, one more person will have more strength and more confidence.Li Shizhen and Xiaomei decided to go to the other half of the city and call together all the doctors to fight against the disease together.
All the way into the city, you can see people dying of illness on the side of the road, with rotten skin and mosquito bites, which is shocking.
The other half of the city is another world-changing world, separated by a wall, singing and dancing.
Several people were a little bit angry, they suppressed it and stayed in the inn.
On the second day, they searched various medical centers, and it was okay to buy medicine, but when they heard that they were helping people suffering from the plague together, everyone refused with excuses.
"Boss Shan, you are also a respected celebrity. The plague is rampant in Luoshi Town. If you are willing to help, you will be everyone's savior. Everyone will be grateful to you." Li Shizhen persuaded with kind words.The boss of Shan Xitang was still unmoved: "This old man is also a person who stepped into the palace of the King of Hades with half his life, and he cannot stand such a torment."
Occasionally, a face poked out from behind the door curtain, and tried to come out several times, but was pulled back.Xiaomei found out that he might be the boss's son, thinking that it might be feasible to stimulate him with words, but she also thought that everyone has their own ambitions, so I can't force it.
After persuasion for a while, the single boss remained unmoved.On the other hand, the medicinal materials in the store can be sold at cost price.This is a gratifying move.Xiaomei took out the few bank notes she had on her body and asked the boss to count the available medicinal materials.Now that the boss of the order has already opened his mouth, he counts according to the cost of the drug price. After the liquidation is completed, Xiaomei still has 50 taels of banknotes left.
The assistants pulled the carriage, filled it with medicinal materials, and transported it to the place where it was needed.Xiaomei, Li Shizhen and Li Qing went down again.Some shops unwilling to sell medicinal materials at a low price were jealous, so they united to sue the government.
When officers and soldiers came to arrest him, Xiaomei, Li Shizhen and Li Qing were treating patients.The person who came came plausibly said: "You guys spread rumors to confuse the public and seriously disrupt the order of our town. You should be detained for interrogation."
Xiaomei couldn't bear it any longer, so she detained the arrester and asked people to go back to report, and asked the county magistrate to come and pick him up.The county magistrate didn't want to set foot in this stinking place, but because of his own face, he came in a sedan chair in a mighty manner.Along the way, those who suffered from the plague saw the county magistrate passing by on a sedan chair, and they all said that the county magistrate had shown mercy and rescued them from the flames.
The county magistrate didn't know, and said, "I drove them out, and they still come to worship me?"
The master flattered: "They must know that you care about them, the magistrate, and thank you."
Although it was a joke, the county magistrate had a trace of regret after all.Now outsiders are aware of the plague in the town, if someone cures it, and if the news spreads, the hat on his head may be lost.As soon as he got off the sedan chair, the county magistrate yelled: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." On the one hand, he scolded the head arrester: "How do you do things? I asked you to invite some doctors, why are you still doing it? Go back and get the second Ten boards." Then he said with a smile to Xiaomei: "Little brothers, don't get angry, they are confused and don't understand what I mean, you have traveled through mountains and rivers to save our Luoshi Town, the county is very grateful."
Hearing what he said, Xiaomei couldn't help wondering whether it was true. The county magistrate persuaded her with four or five words, and he let her go.The county magistrate also said: "This plague is really a headache. The county has already called all the doctors and doctors to discuss the solution, but there is nothing that can be done. The plague is too powerful."
Li Shizhen said: "All diseases have traces to follow. As long as we find out the root cause, we can find a cure."
The county magistrate said again and again: "Scholar Li is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, it really makes the county feel ashamed. If Xueshi Li can really save everyone, the county will personally engrave a biography for you, and it will last forever."
Li Shizhen was not a powerful person, and only said: "It is the duty of a doctor to save people, and he does not want to be famous."
The county magistrate also praised him for his integrity, and offered them many cheap terms. After receiving Li Shizhen's guarantee, he left with a smile on his face.
Li Qing was not used to it, so he complained: "He obviously wants us to give him all the credit, no shame."
Li Shizhen warned: "Don't talk nonsense."
After thinking about it, Xiaomei felt that the change of the county magistrate's attitude was only for his own fame, but no matter what, they finally had support, and the treatment would save a lot of trouble, which is still gratifying.
As soon as the county magistrate left, Shan Bai, the son of Shan Xitang's boss, stepped in through the back door and said sincerely, "Mr. Li, I want to save them with you."
Xiaomei and Li Qing smiled and nodded, Li Shizhen was worried: "Your father won't agree, so don't let him worry."
Shan Bai said: "Just now I heard the words of the county master, if we cure this plague, everyone will know that there is me, and there is Shan Xitang, my father is too happy to be too late."
Li Shizhen asked again: "Are you so confident?"
"I believe in you, and I also believe in us, and it will definitely be cured."
Li Shizhen left him behind and assigned him a task. Everyone who had the plague had to be inspected.Those who are strong and able to work will help dig the dead and bury them.
The wounded need a clean environment, not to mention the plague.Clothes worn by those patients were incinerated centrally.Then take clean water and scrub the patient's body every day.
In order to facilitate the treatment, the county magistrate distributed money to set up a temporary hospital, where all the sick people were placed one by one, and their families took care of them.
The county magistrate called people to ask what they needed, and Li Shizhen and Xiaomei were not polite, telling them to clean up the rubbish on the roadside and nearby.For example, the sewage flowing out of the dyeing workshop is dug for centralized treatment to ensure that the river is clean.Straw and other things must not be burned privately, and trees must not be felled indiscriminately.
The county magistrate thought it was feasible and implemented it in more than ten towns.In just one month, the entire county has taken on a new look.
Some small pharmacies heard that there were learned people here, and they came here to visit. Li Shizhen saw that everyone was sincerely studying, and she did not hide it, and told them one by one.
In the end, the boss of Shan Xitang also joined in, saying that he was short-sighted, and that he shouldn't be doing it for his own selfishness. Now he has called all the members of the Medical Association, and he only wants to unite as one to defeat the disease.
Li Shizhen's face that had been silent all this time finally had a gleam of light, and everyone sat together to discuss the cause of the illness.Some say it was caused by the previous earthquake, and the poisonous gas emitted from the ground caused it. Some say that birds and animals got sick and infected people.
Although Xiaomei also studies medicine, he usually studies poison meridians more, and now he believes that medicine is extensive, and there are people beyond people and beyond.
The night sky is full of stars, twinkling like lights of hope.The brightest one is the North Star, which will always point the way to the confused people.At this moment, is it also above the Forbidden City, telling him that the person he cares about is in the Forbidden City.
"Brother He, are you homesick?"
Xiaomei turned her head, and Li Qing looked at him curiously: "Uncle told me that you are from the capital, and there are four of you, Yizhimei, and now you are the only one. You must be missing them, right?"
Xiaomei smiled: "I really miss them, it's been almost a year since I left them."
"Brother He, tell me some stories about Yizhimei? I guess it must be thrilling."
Xiaomei couldn't help smiling: "It's too horrible."
Li Qing laughed from ear to ear.She smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth, very cute.
Almost every day, patients die, family members cry, and people complain. When will this ruthless disease be eradicated.
Xiaomei was tossing and turning among the patients every day, watching, hearing, asking, and recording the symptoms of the patients.Li Shizhen worked with the doctors to develop new medicines.New sick patients were constantly being sent in to the hospital, and the plague was still spreading at an inestimable speed.People worked day and night, followed and investigated, and finally managed to get a clue of the illness.Li Shizhen immediately convened everyone to discuss and tentatively decided on a plan, but how effective the new medicine will be is unknown, and people's lives should not be used for experiments.
An old man heard that there was a new medicine, so he volunteered to try it, and asked his family's permission to let him take the new medicine.A few days later, the old man came back to life and was full of energy, but after only two days, the old man died and the new medicine failed.
The family members looked for death and life, and Li Shizhen was depressed.
The weather is getting cooler day by day, during this period of time busy with the plague, Xiaomei will delay taking medicine, and now she coughs non-stop whenever she catches a cold.He felt some itching on his back, and scratched it with his hands, but he was suddenly stunned, feeling a bad premonition.
He hurried to the mirror, unbuttoned his clothes and looked, and sure enough, he saw faint blue lines on his back.
"Brother He." Li Qing pushed the door open and entered the room, Xiaomei hadn't recovered from her panic, her pale face was dripping with cold sweat.He was infected with the plague.Will die here?Seeing that his back was turning blue, Li Qing screamed out: "Brother He, you, this is impossible." She told Uncle to run out, and Li Shizhen hurried into the room.Worried all over his face, he hurriedly took his pulse, and his face became more and more gloomy.
Xiaomei put on her clothes quietly, and said in a deep voice, "Have you been diagnosed, Brother Li?" Li Shizhen was silent.Li Qing cried: "No way."
Xiaomei was silent for a while, and begged in a low voice: "You guys go back first. I'll be quiet for a while."
He only shed tears when the person left, and all his illusions were shattered.Like crazy, he grinds, writes, puts all the lovesickness of this year on paper, sends it to the Forbidden City, and sends it to Yunhe. He doesn't care whether he wants to see it or whether he can see it. , he sent it, there will be a glimmer of hope.
The next day, he came back from the Escort and said to Li Shizhen: "Brother Li, you can use me as an experiment! I know some medical principles, and I can explain many diseases more clearly."
Li Shizhen nodded heavily.
New medicines were drank from his mouth again and again, vomiting, headaches, and itching all over his body rushed to fill him, and he had to maintain his sanity to say them word by word.Li Qing watched over him day and night, weeping like pear blossoms and rain, he comforted: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
In the end, he really couldn't stay awake, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't love it.But he still can't give up, no one here has given up, and neither can he.Yunhe's letter hasn't come back yet, so he can't just die like this.
Li Shizhen has been working non-stop for several days, preparing new medicines, analyzing pathology, synthesizing Xiaomei's narrative, overturning some opinions, and starting all over again. He must ensure that the medicine is fully effective before he can fully promote it, and the people who test the medicine are undoubtedly the most serious. .
The new medicine was formulated again, and Li Qing worriedly fed Xiaomei to drink it, praying: "God, you must bless me, this time the medicine can cure the disease."
On the first day, Xiaomei did not improve.Continue to feed the medicine, and the second day, the condition was controlled without deterioration.Li Qing almost cried with joy, and kept calling Xiaomei to wake up, not letting him fall asleep.On the third day, his condition stabilized.The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day... every day gets better and better.
With a smile on Xiaomei's thin face, she comforted Li Qing: "I said I will be fine."
Li Qing cried and nodded: "Yes, I also know that you will be fine."
Li Shizhen was infinitely grateful, with tears in her eyes.Xiaomei smiled and said, "Brother Li, thank you for saving me. Sure enough, I am right?"
Li Shizhen said: "I made you suffer."
Xiaomei shook her head and said, "It's worth it to change all of their lives by myself."
The new drug was configured successfully.The plague situation in Luoshi Town is fully under control.The first of its kind in the country.Earlier, the magistrate heard that he allocated countless funds for the research and development of new medicines.Now I'm afraid Gao Sheng's official document will be delivered soon.The ten measures to keep the environment clean in this county were appreciated by the imperial court, and they were immediately published and implemented nationwide.
The county magistrate's face was full of red, and he was already a well-known parent official in Daming, and he was a little more friendly when talking to the common people.Shan Xitang became famous, and the medicinal materials he planted were directly paid as tribute.
The twilight is quiet and the moon is clear.
Xiaomei sighed softly: "It's only been a month since I lay down, and I feel like I've been reborn."
Li Shizhen's face was calm, and she warned carefully: "From now on, I can't forget to take medicine again. I didn't know that you had an old illness before. If I knew, I would never allow you to be so desperate."
Xiaomei smiled and said, "Brother Li, you saved this life, so you must protect it well."
Li Shizhen smiled, and changed the subject: "In ten days, we can leave. Where are you going?"
Xiaomei blinked and said, "Go to the hometown of an old friend and see where he used to live."
"It is indeed a blessing to have a confidant in life. But, have you ever thought about walking with others?"
Xiaomei was puzzled: "What does Brother Li mean?"
Li Shizhen only asked, "How is my niece?"
Xiaomei froze, her clear eyes were infinitely shocked.Vaguely said: "Miss Li is generous and beautiful, knowledgeable and reasonable, which is rare in the world."
Li Shizhen said with a smile: "I'm flattering her. Tomorrow, Boss Shan invited us to enjoy the flowers in his medicine garden. Get up early."
Xiaomei nodded, and understood what Li Shizhen was saying.
Li Qing picked a lot of flowers in the medicine garden, smiling innocently.Xiaomei looked at her quietly, and couldn't help but smile.It is really enviable to have the original childlike innocence without human affection.
Li Qing ran towards Xiaomei holding flowers, and said with a smile, "Can't you walk?"
Xiaomei replied softly: "It's also beautiful to look at here."
Li Qing sat beside him, playing with the flowers in his hand, and said, "Did my uncle tell you something last night?"
Xiaomei was surprised: "He told you?"
"He asked me a long time ago. It's just that I didn't say it clearly."
Xiaomei has a new understanding of her. She is young, but her thinking is mature.He said: "Qingqing, you are a rare and good girl. You should find someone who knows how to cherish you for the rest of your life. Thank you for taking care of me forever. It's just that my heart belongs to you, and it's not fair to you."
Li Qing stopped fiddling with the flower branches suddenly, then continued fiddling for a moment, and said: "I admit that I like you very much. When you said that you were going to use yourself as an experiment, I thought you were a shining person. But I Knowing that you have someone else in your heart, when you were unconscious, you called out a name." After a moment of pause, her tone became curious: "Is that her name? Yunhe, are you going to be Xianyunyehe?"
Xiaomei couldn't answer her.
Li Qing said again: "It seems that I guessed wrong. Are you going to her hometown?"
"Yeah." Xiaomei didn't hide it, "Look for an answer. From the moment I was infected with the plague, I became more determined. If I can survive, I must find this answer. I don't want to let myself spend my whole life in a daze."
"I support you." Li Qing encouraged him, "Then I wish you two will be united forever."
Xiaomei smiled, hoping so.
On the palace wall, the moon is shining brightly, and it is sprinkled on the lakeside, paving a place of starlight.
The palace lady held up the extinguishing candleshade to extinguish the extra palace lanterns in the corridor, and it was quiet, except for the croaking of frogs from the lake in the distance.
The candlelight is dimmed, but Yunhe still writes and writes articles.Half a month ago, the examination papers were submitted to the Supervisor of Rituals, and the emperor asked him to read them one by one, brainstorming, and also asked him to make more references, and then to be a consultant for the emperor's selection of trusted talents.He took time out of his busy schedule to read it carefully, and found many novel and valuable things. The current scientific examination has almost established a fixed pattern. Many candidates only answer questions about famous officials from ancient times in order to go ashore safely. Occasionally there may be a newborn calf, the writing is from the time, and the insights are unique.After reading it, he thought about it and benefited a lot, so he forgot to sleep and eat, and started to study it.
Prior to this, land taxation, oil, rice, tea and salt, and the implementation of reforms had all been slowly on the right track.But we can't worry about the hidden dangers one by one. The small people in the court have many powers, and I answer from time to time to provoke, the pirates invade the coast, and the Portuguese from outside are also ready to move. There are many internal and external troubles.
The waiter gently cut off the candles and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, it's late at night, you should rest."
Yunhe raised his head, it was already dark and the palace lanterns were off.He looked at the waiter, only to realize that he was no longer a day-to-day waiter, and he only said: "The last part, you ask someone to prepare the water, and I will go there in a while."
The waiter took the order and asked again: "Does the lord need to eat?"
Yunhe lowered his head and continued writing: "No need."
Back in the room, the maid had already prepared the soup pool, he was indeed tired, soaked for a long time, seemed to fall asleep in a daze, faintly heard the sound of laughter, there was a figure in front of him, handsome and unrestrained, walking away from him Go, he wanted to chase, but he fell further behind, scared in his heart, and woke up suddenly.
It was a dream.
Yunhe put on his clothes and went back to his bedroom.When the maid made the bed, she heard his footsteps and turned around to serve him.
Yunhe saw that she was only wearing a silk nightgown with slanted breasts, which was thin and tight, and said with concern: "It's cold at night, put on an extra coat, and be careful of catching cold."
The maid's cheeks flushed suddenly, she thanked her in a low voice, and said, "I just changed the bedding, I'm afraid it's still a bit cold, does the lord need to use the stove to dry it?"
"No." Yun He was really tired, he stretched out his hands, and allowed the maid to undress.The maid's hand was untying the sash around his waist, and he rubbed it for a while as if he couldn't feel it. He didn't blame him. He didn't understand until the maid unbuttoned his skirt with both hands, and slowly stroked his chest, wanting to go to his breast. Suppressing her anger, she warned: "Yuxiu, you are also from a scholarly family, so girls should be reserved."
The hand on his chest froze suddenly, and he knelt down: "My lord forgives my sin, and so do my servants, there is no other choice."
Yunhe looked down at her, with a cold expression on his face, knowing that she kept her own life, there must be a reason for it, so she didn't feel embarrassed: "Get up, I don't blame you, I will go to explain to the emperor tomorrow, you should be careful in the future, don't let me People have taken the blame, from today onwards, you don’t have to sleep in this room to serve, and move to the next door. If there is something to do, I will naturally call you.”
The maid said yes, and turned to tidy up the bedding. Seeing that she was alone, Yunhe finally couldn't bear it: "Forget it, it'll be the same tomorrow."
He lay down on his own, and the maid quietly extinguished the candle, and the empty room was filled with loneliness.Over the past year, the emperor had repeatedly hinted at giving him a marriage and concubine, but he refused one by one. Occasionally, news from the people came in, and he stayed by the emperor's side until the emperor ordered him to be expelled.He had no other way but to know Xiaomei's news in this way.I answered that he invaded Datong from time to time, he led troops to go out twice, and after he left for a month or two, he didn't know what the folk news was, and when he returned to the palace, there were other news.Qing Xiao was named a general, and he often went out to fight, and he really didn't have a confidant by his side.
Occasionally he feels too alone.In the court, his great future has been developed, and he can also gallop on the battlefield. Many people dream of his life and pursue it desperately.He can't just say that he can ignore all these things, and he has his own responsibility for his children's personal affairs, but he also hopes to see him often and know that he is all right.
On the second day, he made it clear to the emperor that he had no distractions and only wanted to sort out the follow-up of many reforms.The emperor looked angry and still put the matter aside.
The sun and the moon alternate, and the autumn wind suddenly blows.
The palace examination is over, and the number one scholar on the gold list is the icing on the cake.
I replied and retreated again, Datong regained its defense, and the border was peaceful.
In the Anti-Japanese War in Macau, the enemy was defeated and the coast was victorious.
The common people have a good harvest, with many fruits and grains.
Qionglin jade banquet, singing and dancing to promote peace.
The emperor beamed, and all the officials laughed again and again.
Yunhe got up and went to the empty stone steps alone, that was the last time he saw Xiaomei, a blurred back, since then, Yiren was not there.
The melodious bells rang one after another from his heart, and the high sun was as hot as fire, illuminating the red wall and blue tiles with affection and righteousness.
The emperor's oral order came again, that Yuxiuhui of the Yan family has a heart of blue, and if King Gaomi wants to, she can be registered as a princess and return to her hometown together.
Yunhe knelt straight, unwilling.
The emperor walked away with a flick of his sleeve, leaving him alone to think about his mistakes, and even all the servants withdrew.
For ten days, he was not allowed to step out of the gate of the courtyard, and he was imprisoned to death, and it finally started from here.
No copy was sent again, and there was no reform to invite him to participate. There were only messengers who asked him if he had received the order.He said one word at a time: "I beg the emperor to take good care of Yifeng, and don't force him any more."
The more leisure I have, the more I miss him. Xiaomei, who has not heard from her, has not heard from her for half a year. Where did he go, or who did he meet?With or without pain, or joy or not?
The autumn rain is continuous, and the leaves on the lakeside have begun to fall, scattered on the lake, desolate and hopeless.
Such days, the rest of my life, are still very long.
A waiter jumped down from the high wall like a flying eagle, handed a letter into his hand, then jumped up the high wall again, and disappeared.
Holding the letter, his heart was like a boulder thrown into the lake, smashing the peace of the lake.
It's Xiaomei's character.
As if he had found a treasure, he carefully opened it and held it in the palm of his hand.
"... until this time of life and death, I can still care about you, my heart is enough..."
He still cares about him so much!
But, did Xiaomei survive?He had never heard of it, and everyone kept him a secret.He went out of the courtyard privately, went to see the emperor, and begged the emperor to tell him whether Xiaomei was alive or dead.Emperor Longyan was furious, and ordered someone to arrest him and monitor him day and night. If he dared to take another step, no matter where He Xiaomei was in the world, he would die without a place to bury him.
Yunhe was afraid, so he was confinement in a small courtyard every day, enjoying the honor of the prince, but he was more powerless than a prisoner.
The emperor's messenger is still day after day, and his determination is getting worse day by day.
The emperor finally couldn't bear it, and personally interrogated him.
"I'll ask you again, are you willing or not?"
He knelt straight, with firm firmness between his thin eyebrows: "I am willing to do my best for the emperor, but He Xiaomei, I can't let it go, I beg the emperor to take it back."
"I have tolerated and regressed again and again, and you are still so stubborn?"
"Chen, I would like to die for the emperor, I just ask the emperor not to force me to marry someone else."
The emperor was furious and reprimanded: "He Xiaomei is dead, what are you planning?"
Yunhe froze in place as if struck by lightning.
The emperor seemed to be still waiting for his answer, but he couldn't say anything, he was so numb that he didn't feel a thing, and all the firm lines of defense were broken.
The emperor left, and a few days later, the imperial physician came to report that the prince did not cry or make noise, he might have become ill from depression, the emperor was furious, and questioned him face to face again.But I saw that he just didn't make trouble or cry, and his face was lifeless.Three meals a day are eaten like puppets.A letter was spread out on the desk in front of the bed, and the emperor picked it up and read it from beginning to end.
Ask him again, "What are you going to do?"
Yunhe was a little tired, but that arrogance still made him handsome and luxurious, and there was no trace of depravity in his tone: "I live a day, and I will see the prosperity of this world for him."
He may still not want to believe it, and he is separated from him by yin and yang.
The emperor put down the letter paper gradually, and asked depressingly, "You still don't put it down?"
Yunhe's dry eyes were bloodshot, and he replied firmly: "I can't let go."
The emperor's angry eyes finally faded, and he put the thin sheet of paper on the table, as if letting go of all restraints, and whispered: "I will fulfill you, Bi Yun."
Bi Yun, who was hidden outside the door, entered with a jug and a porcelain cup.
The emperor said coldly: "The royal face cannot be lost. Since you are so obsessed with obsession, I have no other choice."
Bi Yun handed the wine glass to him.
Yunhe looked sideways, the liquid wobbled, and when it entered his mouth, it was full of blood.Instead of being imprisoned for a lifetime, he may be willing to choose death, but he still has a little concern, begging: "Your Majesty, can you tell me whether Xiaomei is alive or dead?"
The emperor said nothing.
Yunhe slowly stretched out his hand, and touched the cup containing the liquid, it was bitingly cold.
He held the cup quietly, waiting for the emperor to give him an answer.
It was Bi Yun's voice: "He Xiaomei is still alive."
"Hehe." He suddenly laughed, and finally tears fell.
Weeping with joy, but heartbroken.
The emperor was still so indifferent: "You chose this path yourself, don't blame me for being cruel!"
He held it tightly and moved it to his mouth bit by bit.This journey, too many bits and pieces, are all contained in this glass of wine, but how can this glass of wine hold it?
The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the summer rain is lingering, the autumn water is beautiful, the winter is snowy, day and night, I will never forget it, and I will never regret it.
Now that you're all right, I don't have to worry anymore.
Swallow the cold liquid, the prosperity of this life will end here.
But, Xiaomei, in this life, I will never see you again.
The days are soaring.
Tiny white silks fluttered on the towering city walls, and the soldiers guarding the city wore white strips around their waists and plain scarves around their arms.
Xiaomei led Shayan and waited in line for inspection before entering the city.The mountains and rivers are far away, and he finally arrived at the place where he was born and raised.
