Noble First Daughter-in-law

Yu Wenye didn't speak immediately, but just glanced at her, as if hesitating whether to tell her or not.Without waiting for him to make a decision, Shang Ruyi immediately said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will inquire about it."

"..."

"People don't know as much as you. If you tell me indiscriminately, I will only worry more."

"..."

"So, why don't you tell me now."

It made sense to hear what she said, but Yu Wenye couldn't help but chuckled slightly because of the somewhat resentful tone in her tone, but the next moment, his expression became serious, and he said: "Today, someone died in Changle Fang. 36 people."

"36?"

Shang Ruyi opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Although she knew that no one would die from the plague, 36 people died on the first day, which really surprised her.

After thinking about it, he hurriedly asked, "These people are—"

Yu Wenye said: "I had someone check it out, and there were 31 of them, all of whom came from the villages near Fufeng. The rest were from the first group of people they came into contact with outside Daxing City."

Shang Ruyi sighed and said: "So, they have survived until now, they are already sick to the bone marrow, and the medicine is useless."

"Ah."

"Then, at Yanzuo Square—"

Mentioning this, Yu Wenye's eyes flashed a faint dark color, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Four are dead."

"...!"

This time, Shang Ruyi didn't speak, but his brows furrowed all of a sudden.

The two cities are adjacent to each other. Apart from the patients in the city, there are also people from outside the city who come to seek medical treatment. How can there be such a big difference?Could it be that--

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and immediately said: "Yesterday, Dad ordered in the Tai Chi Hall, it seems that the left and right guards will go out of the city, bring the patients from outside the city into the city, and then search for the patients left in the villages outside the city. .”

Yu Wenye nodded.

Therefore, in this case, how to allocate those patients is completely determined by the people who control Xiaowei.

And Yu Dingxing is General Zuo Xiaowei, so this matter was naturally handled by him!

Shang Ruyi gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do about it—they could only suffer from being dumb about this matter, because if they reported it to Yu Wenyuan, it would only make Yu Wenyuan feel that they were overthinking the easy things, and that the matter didn't end, but instead, they went ahead to report it to Yu Wenyuan. Get a bad opinion of him.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi could only let himself breathe a sigh of relief, but the breath was full of anxious emotions, and then looked up at Yu Wenye, only to see him take another sip with the teacup, although he was calmer than Shang Ruyi Much more, but his slightly frowned brows were also filled with gloom.

Shang Ruyi said, "Is there anything else?"

"..."

"Just this, it won't make your face so ugly."

Yu Wenye glanced at her again, and this time he didn't hesitate to hide it anymore, he just said: "Today, new patients were discovered in several cities in the west city, and there are more than 200 people."

Shang Ruyi gasped: "So much?!"

Yu Wenye said: "I sent people to bring these patients to Changle Square, but these people fled everywhere and refused to enter the workshop. I had to lead a team to arrest them myself, and only managed to capture more than 100 people."

"..."

"It's getting late, and I'm worried that if I continue to arrest people and make too much noise, it will disturb the rest of the people. It won't be good if there is an accident, so I'll come back for now. Tomorrow, I have to send more people."

Shang Ruyi frowned.

No wonder he came back so late, much later than Yu Wenjian.

These people refused to follow the imperial court's arrangement to move around, but they never thought that just one patient suffering from the plague could infect the entire city. Once the disease completely broke out in Daxing City——

In ancient times, it is not uncommon for a village or a city to be emptied because of the plague!
Shang Ruyi said: "So, you have to put all your energy on this matter first."

Yu Wenye said: "Yes."

Shang Ruyi said again: "Then, those doctors in Changle Fang, how do they behave?"

"..."

When mentioning this, Yu Wenye paused for a moment, immediately put down his teacup with an expression of impatience, and said, "It's not enough for you to inquire about it for a long time, you have to ask even this."

After speaking, she got up and told Chang Wan to prepare hot water for herself to take a bath.

But before he stood up, Shang Ruyi suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, not letting him go.Yu Wenye was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at her.

Shang Ruyi looked at him with wide eyes: "Please explain clearly."

"..."

"I still say the same thing. If you don't say it, I'll go out and find out by myself."

"..."

"People outside don't know what's going on inside. If you scare me with nonsense, it's your responsibility!"

Hearing such unruly words, Yu Wenye was a little annoyed and a little funny, but seeing Shang Ruyi's serious look, he couldn't get angry, let alone laugh, he pondered for a while, sighed, and could only sit down again return.

Then he said: "Apart from the twenty or so doctors recruited from various medical clinics in Xicheng, the Imperial Medical Office only left one medical supervisor, and three doctors are in Changlefang."

Shang Ruyi frowned upon hearing this: "Why are there so few?"

Yu Wenye looked at her: "Why do you say?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi frowned, and when she thought about it carefully, she understood—although Daxing City was divided into two cities, the east and the west, and handed over to their two brothers to govern, the east and west cities were different. The dignitaries in the city, including merchants, Almost all the rich households lived in the east city—the Lian Guogong Mansion was also in Longqingfang in the east city, while the west city lived more poor people.

In this case, the Tai Medical Department also understands where to focus.

and so--

The situation in front of us is that there are more patients and more deaths in the West City. The people don't listen to the teachings and run away, causing the plague to spread again. In Changle Square, the patients are crowded, the doctors are not enough, and the medicine is also a problem.

This is the dilemma Yu Wenye is facing.

Even in the morning, they already understood that this game is a game that must be lost, and they can only do as much as possible to save some people on the basis of admitting failure, but they are always restrained, which really makes people feel very depressed uncomfortable.

Yu Wenye is an almost invincible general who gallops across the battlefield without ever retreating.

But this time, he did encounter a tricky thing.

After being silent for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, Shang Ruyi raised her head and looked at him again, and said firmly, "Fengchen, let me go to Changlefang."

"no!"

As soon as the words fell, he was firmly rejected by him.

Seeing the anger on Yu Wenye's brows, Shang Ruyi didn't argue with him head-on, but only thought about it before saying, "I can help you."

"Need not!"

It was that blunt, completely non-negotiable tone.

Even with some force, he pulled his wrist out of Shang Ruyi's hand. The force was so strong that it seemed a little angry.

But Shang Ruyi still said calmly: "Why do you definitely not let me go? It's because - the plague may infect me and be dangerous, isn't it?"

"You know and still say?"

"However, you have to go out and get busy every day. I never stopped you."

"..."

"Could it be that I don't care about your life or death?"

Yu Wenye's expression was a little ugly, as if he didn't want to hear her continue, he said coldly: "Whatever you say, that's my responsibility."

After speaking, he got up to leave again.

But this time, Shang Ruyi took a step faster than before, both hands reached out to grab one of his wrists, and clasped it firmly, Yu Wenye was about to struggle, but when he turned around, he met her who was serious enough to be a bit harsh He stared intently at his eyes—among the two, it was rare that he was the one whose eyes flickered and seemed to retreat.

Shang Ruyi said, "Isn't it my responsibility?"

Yu Wenye turned his face to one side: "You are a woman, so what is your responsibility?"

Shang Ruyi's eyes widened a bit, and she simply dragged his hand, walked up to him, raised her head, looked straight into the depths of his eyes, and said seriously: "Woman, why don't you?" Then there is no responsibility? I clearly understand medical skills, and I cured your illness when I was in Fufeng. I know better than those medical supervisors and doctors in Taiyuan Hospital how to deal with this illness, but you don’t let me go."

"..."

"It's your irresponsibility."

"you--!?"

Yu Wenye was angry and annoyed, but he couldn't speak. He obviously did nothing wrong, and this matter never fell on Shang Ruyi from the beginning to the end, but when he said it from her mouth, he became that small-bellied person instead. But she is righteous, dedicated to the public, and unselfish.

Yu Wenye gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to make others feel that I can't protect you?"

"..."

"Not only can't protect you, but I have to rely on you."

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, more like a little annoyed, Shang Ruyi seemed to understand a little bit, but he was a little confused - who else?

Why should he care about this?

Shang Ruyi was puzzled for a while, and then looked at Yu Wenye with an even more awkward expression, as if she was a little annoyed that she had said those words, and even started to get angry with her, she couldn't help but muttered: "But , Me, haven't you always protected me?"

Yu Wenye's breath sank, and he looked down at her.

Shang Ruyi also looked at him with wide eyes, and said softly, "You forgot?"

Even if he really forgot, but how could she forget?

Before she married him, on the way to send her off, he was the one who rushed out on horseback and rescued her from the rebels in Longmen. Among the millions of troops in Yanmen County, he was also the one who shot out with an arrow. , broke the siege of Yanmen, saved the lives of all soldiers and civilians including her; and Jiangdu Palace...

If he hadn't fought bloody battles and broke out of the siege, he would have been charged with the crime of killing the king long ago, and his decapitation would be different, and I'm afraid it would affect his relatives.

But she never felt that she owed him.

Not only because, she also risked her life for him, sneaked into Wanggangzhai alone, and then led people to burn Xiao Yuansui's food and grass; when he was in Fufeng, she also supported the overall situation when he fell ill, fighting with Xue Xian fight bravely.

More because——

Husband and wife, or two people who love each other, shouldn't they be entangled like this?

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi smiled lightly, looked at Yu Wenye's somewhat awkward expression, and said softly: "Husband and wife should not only protect each other and get entangled, but also rely on each other."

"..."

"Besides, you don't rely on me, who do you want to rely on!"

These words, with a bit of resentment, but also like coquettish anger, suddenly softened Yu Wenye's heart that was originally as hard as a stone.

He looked down at the little girl who was clinging to him again, his eyes flickered, and he finally felt a little relieved.

He sighed: "You really want to go."

Shang Ruyi nodded heavily.

"..."

Yu Wenye took another deep breath, and finally said: "I can promise you."

Shang Ruyi was overjoyed, but before he had time to say anything, he said again: "But you must also promise me that no matter what happens in the world, no matter how many people fall ill or die, you must protect yourself first!"

Having said this, his face darkened slightly again, and he said: "No matter how many people I want to save, no matter how much I want to win people's hearts this time, and even some things, if I lose them, I can get them back again, but—your life and Other people's lives are different after all, do you understand!"

"..."

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a numbness in his back, and immediately, that feeling rushed into his heart.

It made her heart beat unbalanced for a while.

Although Yu Wenye's words obviously sounded selfish, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of chilling, because she knew very well that people are people, even if they are dedicated to the public, how could they not be biased at all?
In whose eyes, there is no special existence?

He is so to her.

She treats him, why not?
Therefore, for him, even if she knew that the plague was raging in the city, she was willing to fight.

So he nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

It wasn't until this moment that Yu Wenye seemed to give up completely, because his shoulders, which were more tense due to the busy work all day, relaxed slightly, and said to her: "Then, you go."

A smile appeared on Shang Ruyi's face immediately.

Seeing her like this, Yu Wenye's gloomy mood also eased a lot at this moment, but he said helplessly: "You, knowing that you can't win this time, you still work so hard."

Shang Ruyi let go of his hand, but looked up at him again, blinking: "It may not be impossible to win."

"Oh?"

"Fengchen, do you still remember when you first brought me into the barracks in Taiyuan?"

"..."

Yu Wenye was taken aback, his eyes suddenly flickered.

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "At that time you asked me to compete with Huang Gongyi in riding and archery, but I really lost—it was impossible to win from the beginning."

"..."

"But later you told me that although I lost, I won the respect of the army because I was open-minded and went all out in the competition."

"..."

"Also earned your respect."

As she said that, she smiled slightly, and looked up at Yu Wenye: "That should be the best thing I have won in my life so far."

"..."

"So, even if even my brother said this time it was a losing game, even if we just wanted to find that person, I still want to do my best."

"..."

"Maybe, can you win something unexpected?"

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her and stopped talking.

In fact, for a person who is good at combat and has never been familiar with epidemic control, he feels constrained and exhausted in dealing with everything today, but at this moment, his exhausted heart seems to be hit by something, like It's about to come alive.

Yes, he also remembered that time.

At that time, he had no affection for her. He just heard a little girl "bragging" that she was good at riding and shooting, so he deliberately asked her to try riding and shooting with Huang Gongyi. As expected, Shang Ruyi was defeated and returned home. .

but--

When he saw Shang Ruyi standing in the midst of the ten thousand army, she obviously lost, and she was completely defeated, but the way she went all out made a loser look so radiant, and even aroused the soldiers in the army. their cheers.

She did earn the respect of the whole camp, and his respect for her.

However, he never told her——

That was his first heartbeat to her, which he caught off guard.

But he didn't expect that it had been so long that he had put it behind him, but at this moment when he suddenly mentioned it, and then looked at the little girl in front of him who was still the same as before, the unexpected heartbeat unexpectedly came again. A strike.

Let him be moved again.

Seeing that Yu Wenye was silent, Shang Ruyi didn't say much, just stretched out his hand and pushed him, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all settled, I'll go out with you tomorrow. You go to Mu- —”

Before he finished speaking, he felt his wrist sink.

The scorching heat made Shang Ruyi's heart jump uncontrollably, and when she lowered her head, she realized that it was Yu Wenye who grabbed her wrist.

However, it was completely different from when she caught him.

His body temperature was much higher, and the place where her skin was touching made her shiver slightly, but before she could even pull back, she felt her body lighten, and Yu Wenye picked her up and walked directly into the inner room .

"Hey--"

Shang Ruyi wanted to say something, but the voice seemed to be swallowed by something, and the whole room fell silent.

The night wind picked up and blew out the only candlestick left in the room.

In the sudden darkness, there was a rustling, sticky sound, and after an unknown amount of time, Shang Ruyi's soft, sweet voice gasped——

"You, aren't you tired?"

In the silence, it was as if someone had gritted their teeth, and after a long time, they heard a muffled voice——

"Look if I'm tired!"

|
so tired...

He obviously got his permission to go to Changle Square today, but Shang Ruyi slept until dawn, and when he opened his eyes, the room was already brightly lit.

But for her, it was as if all the bones in her body had been removed and put back on again.

Lying limply on the bed, it took a long time before she gathered up a little strength and got up slowly, but there was no one around her.

At this time, Shang Ruyi was somewhat suspicious of what his body was made of. He was the one who went out and was busy all day yesterday, and he only did a little sewing at home, but in the end, it was him who made his whole body weak. , even struggling to get up, but he went out early in the morning like a normal person.

hateful……

Embarrassed and annoyed, she got up to wash up, and after breakfast, Shang Ruyi took Tusheer and Wo Xue out.

At this time in Daxing City, although it was not empty, the streets were quiet, and the carriage had been driving for half a day before barely seeing one or two passers-by.

And on Zhuque Avenue, all the way south, gradually, the strong smell of medicine in the air became more and more intense.

The mist with the smell of medicine is getting heavier and heavier.

Finally, the carriage stopped, and the people outside said: "Young Madam, Changlefang is here."

Today, because of something, the two chapters were merged and one chapter was published.
