Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 128
After eating dessert, this afternoon made me drowsy even more.

Murong Wei simply took a lunch break, but who knew that as soon as she fell asleep, she fell asleep more and more deeply, and then she was sweating all over and feeling uncomfortable all over.

When he woke up, his stomach was overwhelmed, and he felt top-heavy when he woke up.

"Princess!" The face of Qingqiu, who was serving at the side, changed greatly. Seeing Murong Wei's abnormal expression and appearance, she was startled.

Murong Wei vomited profusely, and vomited all the contents of her stomach in one go.

She was dizzy all over, only felt cold sweat like rain, and her head was even hotter, and she knew something was wrong in her heart.

"Princess, what's the matter with you, come here, come quickly, please call the imperial doctor, the princess is not feeling well." Qingqiu yelled outside, Xiangtao was surprised when she came in with others from the outside, and rushed to call for the doctor .

Murong Wei was supported to lie down, she said in a low voice, "I seem to be sick."

"Yes, master's head is very hot, could it be a high fever?"

Xiangtao came up and asked, "Master, is it cold? Could it be a show?"

malaria?

She shook her head, she could feel her symptoms were not malaria.

What is the most common disease in spring and autumn?

Influenza, viral flu?
Just as he was thinking drowsily, the doctor from the good clinic had been invited by Xiaohuangmen. Hearing that the princess was seriously ill, this Doctor Zhao was taken aback. At this moment, he said cautiously through the curtain : "The minister will give the princess a pulse first."

Xiangtao was as anxious as a black-eyed chicken, and opened the curtain: "There is still delay, look at what the princess is like, don't worry about etiquette, the princess is having a high fever and vomiting, and she is sweating all over, it's okay Why did it suddenly happen like this?"

The doctor said that his medical skills are also very good. At this time, he glanced at Murong Wei, but saw her face was sallow, her forehead was sweating, and her lips were blue and white. Suddenly something came to her mind, and she was so scared that she almost fell down.

At this time, he didn't care about the defenses of men and women anymore, the old man with white beard pressed Murong Wei's wrist pulse, and suddenly screamed in surprise: "The epidemic!"

There was a dead silence all around.

The sound of someone knocking over the copper basin was heard, and all the maids in the room were scared out of their wits.

"Doctor, what did you say, the princess has the epidemic?"

Xiangtao asked tremblingly.

When she thought of this terrible infectious disease, she suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

After hearing the news, Madam Zheng who rushed over also shook her body, her face pale.

In Murong Wei's drowsy vision, she could only see the terrified faces of the people, and saw that they almost wanted to escape because of this matter.

Epidemic?

She had heard of this term before, and knew it from ancient books.

infectious disease?
She heard that people who have this disease are cured by luck, but in fact it really depends on physical fitness, willpower, plus medicine stones and human care.

After a while of silence, it was Lu'er's appearance that broke everything.

"What's the matter? Doctor, you came just in time. I'm about to ask you to show Yuegu. She doesn't know what's wrong. Now she's hot all over, vomiting and dizzy..."

Lu'er's words stopped abruptly, because she had already seen Murong Wei, who was half unconscious, and suddenly screamed in shock.

Dr. Zhao screamed in his heart, and quickly looked at the others: "Who else of you feels unwell? This is too big a matter. I can't make the decision. I have to stay. If the infection spreads, it will be terrible. "

Murong Wei suddenly opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "Isolation..."

It was Mother Zheng who was the first to react, and said sharply: "Now send someone to pass the news to the prince immediately. The prince should come back when he goes to Tongzhou to pick up people. Then no one in the whole courtyard is allowed to go out. , Immediate isolation, Doctor Zhao, you stay here, and let the people from the good medical institute send a few doctors over..."

Her series of arrangements are very tight, and at this time, it is also extremely critical.

Both Murong Wei and Yuegu got the epidemic, and it is very likely that Yuegu caught it when she went shopping the day before yesterday, or she was not in good health.

In this case, it is not surprising that Murong Wei was infected.

All the maids were pale, they had all heard of the horror of the epidemic.

If they serve the princess at this time, maybe they will die before the princess wakes up.

Dr. Zhao was frowning, who made him just in time for this matter.

Now, I can only bite the bullet and rush forward!
"Now change the place for the princess first, I can't live here, and change to a quick place to recuperate, and replace all the beds with new ones."

Dr. Zhao ordered: "There is also Yuegu, who has to be quarantined immediately."

Murong Wei coughed and opened her eyes slightly. She is feeling very uncomfortable now, but when she heard this, she still subconsciously said: "Yuegu...arrange to be with me..."

Nanny Zheng sighed, knowing that Murong Wei still cared about the nanny Yuegu in her heart.

Otherwise, why let her arrange it in one place, because everyone is afraid that everyone will take care of the princess and no one will take care of Yuegu. After all, one is a master and the other is a servant.

Dr. Zhao wondered: "Arrange it to the next door, I will send someone to look after it at any time."

When Murong Wei was carried to the west wing of Tianxiangyuan by someone on a soft couch made of soft cloth, and took a guest room to stay temporarily, Dr. Zhao had already discussed with several invited imperial physicians.

Now everyone is pale, so they can only boil medicine for Murong Wei to drink first, and then boil preventive herbs for people in this yard to drink to prevent infection.

After a while, the medicine will be ready.

There are a lot of herbal medicines in the medicine storehouse in the palace, but there is no shortage of them. It's just that there is a huge amount to support at a time, and people need to be sent to purchase them.

Madam Zheng said to Aichun and the others in a deep voice outside the room: "The princess needs someone to take care of her."

All the maidservants looked ugly, only Lu'er and Xiangtao said: "This servant is willing to serve the master."

Xiangtao cried: "It turned out that I didn't take good care of the master, it was all my fault."

Dong Yu and Zang Dong, who were always silent beside him, also said: "This servant is willing to serve the princess."

These two people are usually the ones who don't talk much, but they didn't expect to see people's hearts at this time.

Lu Shao and the others who brought it from Murong's house also hesitated and said at this time: "Slaves are the master's slaves, of course they have to serve the master, and they need people to cook medicine and do miscellaneous tasks."

Madam Zheng glanced at the maids and eunuchs present, snorted, and thought to herself, at this moment, she has seen people's hearts.

She doesn't blame them either, who is not afraid of death?
If you are willing to come out, you are already a loyal servant.

This is tantamount to fighting with their lives, who wants to die?

At this time, Aichun also took a step forward, which was very surprising.

"Mommy, the princess must be very sad at this time, and Aunt Yue also needs someone to take care of her. Please give orders first, no matter what, you have to take care of the princess first."

Madam Zheng nodded, this girl is still very knowledgeable.

No wonder even though the princess didn't like her very much, she was still willing to use her.

Madam Zheng immediately arranged for people to do their own work.

Lu'er and Xiangtao often take care of Murong Wei, so they naturally arranged to go in and take care of them. Dongyu usually manages the accounts, but at this time, she can't care about other things, so she can only let her do what she can first. Taking care of Murong Wei is not an easy task, so at this time, Dong Yu and Zang Dong went with her.

Madam Zheng also instructed a little girl, Ding Xiang, who often works with Aunt Yue, to take care of Aunt Yue. The others have their own arrangements. Now that the yard is closed, cleaning inside and outside is essential. All need manpower.

The most worrying thing is, is Xiao Mingrui okay?

Madam Zheng was very worried, if something happened to the prince, the house would really be in chaos!

Just when there was turmoil in the Luo Palace, the prince Xiao Mingrui was still on his way back to the capital from Tongzhou.

It is very grand and important to take a few younger brothers to meet King Qi and King Wei, civil and military honorable relatives!

And the official ship going south is even more huge, and it has played a lot of pretense when it is far away.

What is the imperial order of the governor of Guangxi military, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and the flags of King Qi and King Wei fluttering, it is very lively, looking at the name of the boss from afar, and it really makes the officials and businessmen waiting on the shore of Tongzhou to pick up the boat and so on. one after another.

"Did you see that? Those are the official ships of King Qi and King Wei. This time Guangxi suppressed the bandits and returned to the court victoriously. Tsk tsk, I'm afraid the emperor will reward you for your merits?"

There are passers-by talking about it.

"That's right, the imperial court also sent many people to pick up the ship, but they value it very much. It seems that the throne belongs to King Qi, whether it is guaranteed or not."

There are many such discussions.

Even if Xiao Mingrui wanted to block his ears, it was impossible for him not to hear, but there was nothing unusual about him, he was still smiling, and just laughed off these discussions.

Xiao Mingchen, who came to pick him up, was very unhappy, he paced around dissatisfied with his fan, his eyes were full of fire: "Hmph, what are you arrogant, it's not a battle he won!"

At this time, the official ship finally arrived at Tongzhou Wharf and parked in the waterway exclusively for official ships. After a while, the deck was lowered, and two very familiar people came down from the ship in a graceful manner with some court officials.

King Qi is wearing the Prince Baohe Crown Clothes. He is wearing a sapphire-blue lanthanum robe woven with gold thread, with long shoulders and sleeves. He is wearing small face boots with powder foundation and soap face. up!

Even King Wei was full of complacency, following his elder brother with strides, the white jade Dongpo crown on his head was a little crooked!

Xiao Mingchen was furious when he saw it, and cursed inwardly: What are you so proud of?

In fact, he was really envious and jealous.

"Congratulations to the elder brother and the fourth younger brother for returning to the court after victory. The emperor specially asked me to bring the civil and military personnel to welcome the elder brother and the fourth younger brother back to the capital. After returning to the capital, they will be rewarded for their merits."

Xiao Mingrui also stepped forward with his younger brother's respectful tone towards his older brother, but also with his identity as a messenger to convey the emperor's order, neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction, such a demeanor made the people present couldn't help applauding.

At this moment, the sun is just right, the spring flowers are gurgling, and the water in the spring river is warm. These brothers in front of me are all dragons and phoenixes among men. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the scene makes the onlookers feel emotional. Emperor Jianwu is really a hero, I am a hero, I am a hero, Not bad.

"Your second and fifth younger brothers and all the lords are here to greet you. The little king is really ashamed. Here, I also want to thank my father for his kindness. If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't be able to do some small things for the court. Do your best to be filial, and solve problems for your father."

As he said that, he cupped his fists in the direction of the capital, and he looked very respectful.

Xiao Mingrui smiled slightly, clasped his fists together and said, "Sheng Gongan."

The two brothers exchanged a few hypocritical greetings, and then had some casual conversations with the civil and military officials. They didn't stay long in Tongzhou Prefecture, and immediately returned to the capital.

Seeing that he had just entered the inner city of the capital and had to go back to the palace to report his orders, suddenly a guard of the palace on horseback rushed over and was stopped by the guards of the imperial envoy.

"I'm from Prince Luo's Mansion, and I have to report something urgent in the mansion to the lord!"

The guard was sweating profusely, and he didn't care about anything else at this time, he just shouted loudly.

Xiao Mingrui did not ride in a car, but rode on horseback. At this time, he also recognized that this person was the inner guard of the palace, so he was taken aback.

What could happen in the mansion, as for the guards rushing here regardless of his work?

After letting people approach to speak, the guard lowered his voice and said: "My lord, hurry up, something has happened, my concubine has an epidemic, Su Gonggong asked a few people under the bid to look for you, I'm afraid it's you..."

Xiao Mingrui's head went crazy and he couldn't hear anything. It seemed that after a long time, his whole body was cold, "What are you talking about, how is the princess?"

"The princess is unconscious now."

King Qi rode over and asked with concern: "Second brother, what is the emergency? If you are in a hurry, why don't you go back to the mansion first."

Xiao Mingrui clenched the reins tightly, dizzy for a while, how could it be, the epidemic?
He didn't remember that the book said it.

He just felt powerless, and at this point he couldn't care about anything else, even whether he would be infected or not, he couldn't care less.

In this situation, it is absolutely impossible to go to the palace.

"My little brother has to go back first. I have contracted a sudden illness and fell into a coma."

King Qi was a little surprised, before he could speak, he saw Xiao Mingrui riding his horse and charging straight out, and in the blink of an eye, he turned a corner and disappeared.

Xiao Mingchen hurriedly asked the guard: "What's the matter, what happened to my second sister-in-law?"

The guard was also sweating profusely: "Biao Xia has to go back first, the princess has the epidemic."

"What, epidemic?"

Xiao Mingchen's complexion changed drastically, and everyone around him also changed color.

"Is there something wrong with the second brother?" King Qi couldn't help but said: "We can't enter the palace now, my lords, we should find a place to boil the preventive herbs and drink it. Immediately send someone into the palace to report the news, let The palace is ready."

What if the disease spreads?

Although I have never heard that people will be infected immediately after contact with people, but who is not afraid?

Xiao Mingchen also said with a sullen face: "Little brother, go to the second brother's house to have a look."

After all, he hurriedly chased King Luo with his guards.

But at this time Xiao Mingrui rode across the street, feeling extremely anxious.

He just felt that everything was out of control. For the first time, he felt extremely flustered in his heart, with an inexplicable fear, the fear of not being able to control his fate rose in his heart, tightly grasping his heart and oppressing it.

There is no mention of this in the book.

Yes, how could he forget it, it is just official history, it is all about the affairs of the court, how could he care about the affairs of his palace?
"No, it will be fine. Weier will still be my queen."

He suppressed the fear that kept popping up in his heart, and his mind was full of such thoughts.

However, facing the terrifying killer weapon of the epidemic, it really made people panic.

At this moment, Xiao Mingrui could only use that book to comfort himself.

No, fate would not treat him like this.

He believed that Murong Wei would be able to survive this incident safely.

It's just that now he also has some doubts. He didn't mention it in the book many times. Will there be any changes?

Will Murong Wei be safe and sound?
In his heart, there is no bottom at all.

Unlike other things, he can be confident, but facing this matter, he has completely lost his calmness and wisdom.

By the time Xiao Mingrui rushed back to the Luo Palace and returned to the main palace, Su De was already discussing with Mother Zheng how to prevent infection.

Seeing Xiao Mingrui come back, they finally found their backbone.

Without Xiao Mingrui, they really couldn't make a good choice.

Xiao Mingrui asked anxiously: "Where is the princess? How is she doing now?"

Su De came forward to pay his respects, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Now the princess and Aunt Yue are both sick, and they are placed together in the west wing. They are still in a coma, and the imperial doctor has ordered herbal medicine to feed them. The concubine drank it, and you, my lord, quickly let the imperial doctor take a look..."

Xiao Mingrui didn't care about anything else, and hurried to the west wing.

Su De was shocked and hurriedly followed.

In the enclosed small courtyard on the side of the west wing, there were already several maids and eunuchs cleaning the courtyard. Dr. Zhao and Mr. Liu, the doctor of the Liang Medical Institute, were also discussing with stern expressions what prescription to use.

Seeing that Xiao Mingrui was about to rush in as soon as he came in, several doctors suddenly changed their colors and stepped forward to stop him: "My lord, you can't go in, it's too dangerous inside, and Rong Chen is taking the pulse for His Highness, drink the soup..."

"Go away!"

At this time, Xiao Mingrui had completely ignored his usual demeanor, and up to this moment he had completely forgotten about everything in the past, regardless of how dangerous it was inside, he strode open the door and barged in.

Lu'er and Xiangtao, who were serving Murong Wei inside, heard the movement and hurried over to say hello. Dong Yu and Zang Dong were cleaning the floor, and they all stared dumbfounded at Xiao Mingrui, who went straight to the bed.

The windows in the room were completely closed, and the room was a bit stuffy, making it hard to breathe. In addition to the smell of boiled medicine and the smell of freshly vomited, the smell was very unpleasant.

Xiao Mingrui saw his haggard wife on the bed at a glance. Her face was flushed abnormally, she was clearly having a fever, and her neck was also swollen. From that look, she seemed to be very serious.

For a moment, Xiao Mingrui felt like a knife was piercing his heart, as if his wife suddenly became frighteningly emaciated in just one night.

Epidemics, that is, plagues, are caused by the introduction of plague poison from the mouth and nose, and are highly contagious.If one person's disease affects one household, one household's disease affects one village or town.

Spring and autumn are the time when spring plague is prevalent. At this time, the disease can cause serious damage to the patient's vitality, and even death.

Xiao Mingrui has heard or seen many times that people died of epidemics since he was a child.

When it was his wife's turn, it really made him completely confused.

"Wei'er." He held Murong Wei's hand, his voice was full of uncontrollable panic, and the strength made her frown, "You have to persevere, you will definitely, you will be fine..."

Seeing this, Liu Yizheng, who followed next to him, had to kneel aside and said, "My lord, please take the overall situation into consideration. You haven't been infected yet, but you can't stay here any longer. Otherwise, the emperor will blame you, and the ministers will have to die." !"

Xiao Mingrui was in grief, he couldn't listen at all, he just turned around and scolded: "This king now asks you to find a way to cure the princess, otherwise, you will have to die!"

Doctor Liu smiled wryly, how could they guarantee this?

It was still Lu'er who came forward and cried and begged: "My lord, if you don't want the princess to see you sad, you should go out and drink the medicinal soup to prevent and treat this disease, otherwise, the princess will be even angrier when she wakes up and sees you."

Xiao Mingrui was silent for a while, went out without saying a word, drank the soup and asked the imperial doctor to check his pulse, made sure that he was not infected with the epidemic, and then changed his clothes and took a bath.

At this time Xiao Mingchen had already arrived, and hearing that his elder brother followed his sister in to accompany his sister-in-law, he was almost terrified.

He didn't expect his brother to have such deep feelings for his sister-in-law. At a time like this, is he going to die?
Xiao Mingchen turned around in a hurry, only then did he see Xiao Mingrui coming out of the West Wing.

He strode forward and said angrily: "Second brother, you can't do this. If you are with sister-in-law...if you also fall down, who can be the master of the palace at this time?"

Xiao Mingrui was too calm, and seemed to have arranged a lot of things: "I'm in good health, I'm fine. Now that your sister-in-law has the epidemic, I can't go to court, you should also drink some preventive medicine quickly, don't get this disease Sick, go back to Prince Qin's mansion. As for the recent matters, I will leave them to Li Jishan."

Xiao Mingchen was speechless and looked at him in surprise.

"Second brother, you are crazy. Second sister-in-law is taking care of her, so what if I add you? I know you have a deep relationship, but this disease is too dangerous. It is not other diseases, it will be contagious!"

Xiao Mingchen is going crazy, God, don't go crazy, it's fine, if the second sister-in-law gets this kind of disease, it will really kill her.

Now seeing the second brother's disregard, seeing that he has arranged all the things that should be arranged, as if explaining the funeral, it really makes him terrified.

He didn't dare to imagine, what if something unexpected happened to the second sister-in-law...

"I'm calm." Xiao Mingrui's voice became low: "I didn't take good care of her. I want to be with her. Now she needs me."

He blocked what Xiao Mingchen wanted to say: "I know what you want to say. Fifth brother, I know you want to say that I am not calm, but not everything can be rational. At least, I can't at this time. In this life, I will always It’s about someone trying to keep you calm.”

After finishing speaking, he turned around resolutely and stepped into the small courtyard.

Xiao Mingchen stared at his floating figure in astonishment, feeling strange for a moment.

Is this his second brother?

The person who is used to being calm and wise, who can think of ways to fight back even in the face of difficulties on the battlefield?

How could he be so irrational?
"Not everything in this world can be rational..."

Xiao Mingchen was in a daze, until Su De hurried out, shaking his head and sighing.

"Su De, where are you going?"

Su De sighed and said, "Oh, this old slave has no choice. Now it's time to buy medicinal herbs. Everyone in the house must prepare medicinal herbs for prevention and treatment. There are other arrangements. Your lord, please persuade the master. He is now..."

Xiao Mingchen's face was full of frustration: "You don't talk about my brother's temper, things that have made up his mind, will he listen to what others say?"

Su De frowned, looked back, and felt uneasy after thinking about it.

"You should go and talk to the emperor about this matter. Now this old slave has nothing to do. If the princess wakes up, I'm afraid she won't let the prince stay there."

"Yes, he has to listen to what the father said."

Xiao Mingchen regained his vigor, changed into clean clothes after returning home, and showed the doctor that he was naturally fine, and it was inconvenient to enter the palace at this time, so he wrote a note and had it handed in to the palace.

As the saying goes, good things go a thousand miles without going out.

Soon, everyone in the palace got the news that Luo Wangfu was infected with the epidemic.

This matter can be regarded as making many people terrified, and the palace immediately began to clean up, and let the Tai Hospital cook medicinal soup for everyone to drink.

At this moment, Emperor Jianwu also had a gloomy face, and asked the director of the imperial hospital: "Is there any good prescription for this disease?"

The Master of the hospital replied with trepidation: "The epidemic is very dangerous at this time, and it is easy to infect others. Its symptoms are aversion to cold and strong heat, yellow saliva at the mouth, and even delirium. The treatment should be dredging, decontamination, clearing the middle, and attacking the lower." Spring is called spring plague, summer is called seasonal plague, autumn is called autumn plague, and winter is called winter plague. It stands to reason that Princess Luo got spring plague, because the evil wind caused by changing seasons can be severe or light, and it can be cured Hope is great."

Emperor Jianwu thought for a while and said, "Send someone to Luowang Mansion to sit in town, and discuss with them a feasible solution. Be sure to cure him."
