Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 166 The Empress Dowager Is Seriously Ill
The soldiers searched one by one to see if anyone survived.

But Qin Ziling knew that they came this time just to find clues, not to save people.

There was nothing she could do.The people here have all been infected with malaria for a long time. Even if they were not, there is no way to cure them with the things she has purified now.

Hundreds of people walked all the way into the village, but they didn't find a single living person.

Just when everyone thought that there must be no one alive, Qin Ziling suddenly heard a small voice.

Turning to look at Xuanyuan Yi, Qin Ziling knew that he must have heard it too.

With Xuanyuan Yi's look, the soldiers behind immediately began to search.

Many of them are people with inner strength, so if she can hear it, they can basically hear it too.

"what!"

Just as Qin Ziling looked aside, he suddenly heard Lu He's scream.

When Qin Ziling turned his head, Luhe was already in Li Xu's arms.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Lu He was fine, Qin Ziling also felt relieved.

"Side concubine, it seems... just now, someone in this room seems to have grabbed the servant's foot."

Lu He was so frightened that she hid in Li Xu's arms and dared not move a step.

As soon as she entered the village, Lvhe was frightened by the sight, but she finally became more courageous, and when she entered the door, something grabbed her ankle.

"My lord! Here! Someone is moving here!"

Just when Luhe said that there was something grabbing her feet inside, Li Xu stretched out his head and took a look inside.

This time, Li Xu was also taken aback.

"My lord, there is also a living person here!"

Qin Ziling didn't expect that at the end of the day, two people would still be found alive.

Let someone lift the two of them out.

The imperial physician also hurried up.

"My lord, I'm afraid this one won't survive, and the other one seems to have a milder infection. You can feed him some medicine extracted by the side concubine later."

Because the amount of extracting the contents of Artemisia annua is small, and it is extremely time-consuming, for those with milder conditions, they used Artemisia annua directly.

Although the effect of the medicine is much worse, it is also to play a role in delaying the disease.

The latter can be purified after she goes back.

Qin Ziling also took a look, indeed.

The person who grabbed Lu He's ankle before basically had only breath out, not in.

Just now, he probably grabbed Lu He's ankle because of his strong desire to survive.

"Forget it, feed them both some of the extracted medicine."

"Concubine!"

Doctor Su wanted to stop Qin Ziling.

This medicine is not much in the first place, one can imagine how expensive it is, how can it be fed to a dying person like this!

"Feed them!"

Qin Ziling's attitude was very firm. Since he had a desire to live just now, she couldn't deprive him of the right to continue living.

"My lord!"

Physician Su also wanted to plead with Xuanyuan Yi.After all, they are only on this road, and they have already used a lot of medicine.What's more, they have to continue to go south!
"Listen to my concubine."

Xuanyuan Yi just said something so lightly, and it was hard for Imperial Physician Su to say anything more.After all, he did not extract the medicine.

After being given medicine to the two, they continued to search the village, but no one was found alive.

Here Qin Ziling went back to the station to change clothes, and someone came to her.

Qin Ziling was taken aback, why did she look for her, shouldn't she look for Xuanyuanyi?
But in the end Qin Ziling went out to meet that person.

The visitor covered his entire face in the bamboo hat.

But Qin Ziling has nothing to be afraid of, even though Xuanyuan Yi is not here.But there are still so many soldiers here.

"Are you looking for me?"

Looking at the man standing at the door like a stone sculpture, Qin Ziling tentatively spoke.

"Yes, the emperor asked his subordinates to give it to you."

He took out an envelope from his pocket, and the man handed the envelope to Qin Ziling.

The emperor is looking for her?

Taking the envelope suspiciously, Qin Ziling read the contents of the letter and knew why the emperor found her.

It turned out that the queen mother was seriously ill.

That's right, the queen mother stayed in the suburbs during that time.

It is normal to be bitten by mosquitoes.

Although Qin Ziling really didn't want to go back to treat the queen mother, but Qin Ziling didn't dare to defy the emperor openly.They are outside now, if the emperor wants to deal with them, it will be a breeze.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to pack my things."

Qin Ziling looked at the other party's anxious look, so she just planned to leave a letter for Xuanyuan Yi and leave, but she didn't expect Xuanyuan Yi to come back just as she turned around.

"My lord."

Qin Ziling heard the movement behind her, and quickly turned her head around.

"This is……"

Seeing the man in black standing at the door, Xuanyuan Yi didn't know who he was.

"Well, the queen mother is ill, and I want my concubine to return to the palace."

Qin Ziling's two sentences clearly introduced the future people's purpose.

Pulling Xuanyuan Yi, Qin Ziling walked upstairs.

After closing the door, Qin Ziling quickly packed up his things while asking Xuanyuan Yi.

"My lord, have you found anything?"

Xuanyuan Yi stood aside and watched Qin Ziling pack up his things one by one.

"Well, there are some eyebrows."

Xuanyuan Yi's tone was light, but Qin Ziling could still hear the reluctance in Xuanyuan Yi's tone.

"My lord, this concubine is gone. You have to take care of yourself. The further south you go, the more careful you are. There are a lot of mosquitoes there."

Although Qin Ziling had asked everyone to drink some traditional Chinese medicine mixed with bitter wormwood in advance, Qin Ziling was still worried.

"Ah."

Qin Ziling didn't know who was behind the cover-up, but she felt that there should be no danger.

"Let Tie Yi go back with you."

Originally, Qin Ziling wanted to have Tie Yi by Xuanyuan Yi's side just now.She also felt relieved a lot, but just after she finished thinking about it, Xuanyuan Yi said such a sentence.

"I feel that the person at the door should be the emperor's hidden guard. The queen mother is still lying in the palace and waiting for my concubine to go back to save her. There will be no danger."

Qin Ziling still wanted to keep Tie Yi by Xuanyuan Yi's side.

"Bring Tie Yi."

After leaving such a sentence, Xuanyuan Yi lifted his feet and left the room.

Qin Ziling who was a little dumbfounded was left behind.

Really machismo.

There was no other way, Qin Ziling had no choice but to drive towards the palace with Luhe in the end.

The same is true for the girl Luhe, who insists on following her life and death.

On Xuanyuanyi's side, two people were brought back from that village, and one of them had a milder condition.After taking the medicine, the condition has obviously improved a lot.

And that one, although getting better, still doesn't look like much hope.

Because both were infected, they were placed in special isolation.

"Did the two of them say anything?"

Xuanyuan Yi asked Geng Yuchen beside him.Xuanyuan Chen next to him also listened carefully to the conversation between the two. He came this time to learn how to deal with these things.

They went to the county office today and found that there was not even a single person in the county office.

Just now Xuanyuan Yi and Qin Ziling said that they already have some clues, but in fact they don't have any clues at all.

I asked the county government near this county government, and they didn't know anything, and they all said that they reported the epidemic.

But they did not receive any news in Kyoto.

"The man with a mild condition didn't know anything. He saw that many people were sick one day, and then he was about to leave the village with others. Suddenly, many officers and soldiers appeared and locked them inside. .”

The one with a milder condition lives on the edge of the village, and his family members are gone, so he grows some crops by himself on weekdays, and does not communicate with others around.

"What about the other one?"

Originally, Xuanyuan Yi didn't expect much from the other person, because he was already so seriously ill after all.

"The other one just said a few words about the other side of the sea, fishing boats, etc. I couldn't hear them very clearly. I wanted to ask him later, but he couldn't speak anymore."

Xuanyuan Yi listened to Geng Yuchen's words, and carefully pondered these two sentences.

Over there, fishing boats?

What would this suggest?

"Go with Prince Qian and ask the one with the milder condition, and ask if they go to sea on weekdays. Also, what do they do when they go to sea?"

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Yi felt that there must be something wrong.

"Iron Four!"

"My lord!"

"Go and find out what's going on across the sea from that village."

If Xuanyuan Yi's guess is correct, they should have contacts with the opposite party!
After Qin Ziling and the people sent by the emperor returned to the capital, the emperor didn't even let her take a breath, and directly brought her into the palace.

Only then did Qin Ziling realize that the doctor Su was still behind her.

"Mr. Su, why are you back?"

Physician Su still respected Qin Ziling very much. After all, it was Qin Ziling, so the casualties of these common people were reduced so much.

"Because I have also received the emperor's imperial decree to let me come back immediately, but please rest assured, the side concubine, the emperor sent another imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to exchange with this minister."

Seeing that Imperial Physician Su had also returned, Qin Ziling thought, the Queen Mother was so sick that she even called them all back.

Qin Ziling didn't say anything more, made a gesture of invitation, and walked towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom together with Imperial Physician Su.

When I went outside the queen mother's bedroom, I saw a lot of soldiers guarding outside.

Qin Ziling felt that this posture was really not small.

"Is it the side concubine of Prince Rui and Imperial Physician Su?"

A woman in her 30s came up to meet her, but judging from her speech and behavior, she knew that her status in the palace was definitely not low.

"Yes."

After Qin Ziling and Doctor Su answered yes, the woman quickly led them inside.

After entering, Qin Ziling realized what he saw outside just now.
