Chapter 48 Epidemic
Chapter 44 Chapter 41 Epidemic
"Don't you think this is too strange?" Li Zihe frowned, looked at Shen Mo seriously and said, "The symptoms are no different from ordinary plagues, but the speed...is normal in summer, and the plague should be more severe in winter." It is easy to control, but judging by the momentum, I am afraid that it will be infected in Yundu in less than a month."

Shen Mo was holding the teacup, and sent it to his mouth to take a sip, shook his head, and smiled lightly: "No, at most half a month."

"how you said that?"

"Didn't you hear the news early this morning?" Shen Mo put down his teacup, and said seriously: "The victims of the disease in the south flocked to the north after hearing that Yundu has been cured and the medicine has been cured. No need for January."

Li Zihe lowered his eyes in thought, and suddenly his hand felt warm. He raised his eyes and saw a teacup in his hand. Shen Mo held her hand so that the teacup was securely held in her palm, and said softly: "Your body is cold, your hands are cold, be careful. Keep warm."

Li Zihe was stunned, smiled dryly, nodded, held the teacups together with both hands, and said in doubt: "Both Doctor Li and Doctor Zhen were sent to investigate the cause of the disease, and now three days have passed, and there is still no news. Plague, what do you think?"

"This is the time for me to tell you." Shen Mo put down his teacup, with a smile in his eyes, full of confidence.

Li Zihe paused in his heart, lowered his voice, and asked in surprise: "You designed this epidemic?"

Shen Mo acquiesced, and Li Zihe asked again: "If you make people's hearts turmoil, Yun Jinyan will only be more afraid of the unstable situation in the court, and slow down the speed of removing the Gu family or the Zheng family. What's the benefit?"

"It's not slowing down, it's just going faster." Shen Mo answered without hesitation, "Besides, he will definitely let you and me go out of the palace to see a doctor. In this way, some things will be more convenient."

Li Zihe was about to ask again, when a knock on the door interrupted their conversation, he got up and opened the door, Feng Zongying stood outside the door, stared at her with puffy eyes and said, "Come with me."

Li Zihe nodded to Shen Mo towards his hut, and followed Feng Zongying.

"The emperor asked you and Shen Mo to go to the epidemic area to see a doctor." Feng Zongying mumbled after entering the study: "I'm old, and there are some things I can't do, so I can only help you young people."

While Feng Zongying was talking, he glanced at Li Zihe with small eyes, slightly apologetic, and said: "This time the epidemic has come on violently, you are not in good health, I thought I would let Shen Mo go alone, but your majesty Rather, he needs to have a helper, and this is another good opportunity, if you successfully get rid of the epidemic, you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Tai Hospital in the future."

"Also, it's cold in winter, so bring more clothes." Feng Zongying put away the medical books, leaving no time for Li Zihe to interrupt, and said to himself: "You bring these medical books, maybe It's better to use it than rely on that Shen Mo."

"Hey, after Yin Qi suffered such a blow, he probably won't dare to be arrogant again in the future. You were brought out by me, so I don't think many people would dare to bully you..."

"Your Excellency wants to resign?" Li Zihe couldn't hold back any longer, and interrupted Feng Zongying's words, his tone sounded like he was saying goodbye to her.

Feng Zongying stopped the movement in his hand, patted the medical book, and the fine dust floated up, his eyes seemed a little erratic, he hesitated, and said: "This matter has not been finalized yet, don't publicize it."

It was rare for Feng Zongying to speak seriously. He picked up a pile of medical books and placed them heavily in Li Zihe's hands, saying: "The emperor's imperial decree should come later, you go and prepare, and I will leave this afternoon."

Li Zihe flipped the books, making them more secure in his hands, nodded and said: "Then, take care, my lord!"

Leaving the palace as soon as possible, leaving the complicated officialdom, and enjoying his old age in peace, this is what he should have done long ago.

Li Zihe turned around, just stepped out of the door with one foot, and heard Feng Zongying muttering again: "That's right...that..."

Feng Zongying seemed a little embarrassed, paused, and continued: "I looked at it for a while, that Shen Mo is not a bad person, you... look for him in the future, there should be nothing wrong..."

Li Zihe felt warm in his heart, turned his head and smiled softly at Feng Zongying, nodded and left.

Feng Zongying stood on the spot for a long time, rubbing his eyes, that smile just now...is it a hallucination...

With Li Yuyi and Zhen Yuyi in front, the departure of Shen Mo and Li Zihe did not attract too many people's attention, but everyone put their hopes on Shen Mo, seeing him rushing to the epidemic area, they all breathed a sigh of relief, It is expected that this epidemic will come and go quickly.

Li Zihe originally thought that it would be good for his master and his disciples to leave the palace quietly, but when they left the palace gate with Shen Mo, they saw two neat lines of Imperial Forest Army, a team of hundreds of people was waiting for them, and there was nothing ahead of them. The two horses that came out were obviously reserved for her and Shen Mo, Li Zihe glanced at Shen Mo, this battle seemed to be beyond his expectation.

A royal guard stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Please, both of you!"

Pointing to the direction of the two horses, Li Zihe walked towards the two horses, deliberately slowing down his pace, and let hundreds of imperial forest troops protect the two imperial doctors?impossible.Then the Royal Forest Army is going to suppress the victims to prevent riots?These things are done by the army itself, and it is not the turn of the imperial forest army walking in the palace to take care of them.

While thinking about it, I heard Shen Mo's plain voice: "Why don't you know how to ride a horse, just ride a horse with your teacher."

Li Zihe nodded again and again, she could ride a horse, and it would be no problem to ride a horse for a few laps, but it would be a bit difficult to rush to the epidemic area at high speed, not to mention, the current situation had to be discussed with Shen Mo.

The imperial forest soldier looked at Li Zihe, saw that he looked thin and small, he was afraid that he would fall down in the wind, so he didn't say much, he led another horse and left.

Li Zihe sat in front of Shen Mo, his body was still a little stiff, but as the galloping horse galloped, he had to lean back and stick it against Shen Mo's chest. There was a gust of cold wind, and Shen Mo simply lifted up his cloak to wrap Li Zihe completely .

There was some warmth in the cold body, but Li Zihe was still a little uncomfortable thinking about the posture of the two of them at this time, struggling to sit still, Shen Mo clasped her waist with one hand, and amidst the sound of horseshoes, there was a clear voice. Blow into your ears: "Don't move, listen to me."

Having said that, Li Zihe really didn't move, he had to clear his mind to hear Shen Mo's words clearly in such a noisy environment.

"Yun Jinyan probably doubted my identity, so he sent such a group of people to follow, lest I run away with you." Shen Mo's voice, low but penetrating, clearly imprinted in Li Zihe's ears.

"Do you doubt your identity?" A wave of heat surged into Li Zihe's chest, and she didn't care about what she said when they formed the alliance. She was really curious about Shen Mo's identity, so she just followed his words and asked directly.

I don't know if Li Zihe's voice was too soft, or the sound of the horse's hooves was too loud, those words seemed to be submerged in the dust that followed the horse's hoofs, and I don't know if Shen Mo didn't hear it, or if he avoided it on purpose and jumped away. The topic said: "Do you have a token proving that you are Ji's family?"

Li Zihe shook his head sadly. From her point of view, Shen Mo has internal strength, and it is impossible not to hear her question, so she is unwilling to speak out. It is even more impossible to have tokens to prove the identity of Ji's family. She has some Just memories, just people who had the same memories as her, all dead.

Li Zihe clearly felt that Shen Mo sighed, and suddenly became quiet. The flying sand passed by in front of his eyes, the trees and flowers retreated quickly, the sound of horses' hooves, and the yelling of horses from time to time, half of his body leaned on Shen Mo's body, Unexpectedly, he didn't feel the slightest bit of cold air, and his whole body felt warm. Perhaps because he was far away from the palace, the coolness in a certain corner of his body also subsided a little.

"Why don't we really run away and never go back to the palace?" Shen Mo suddenly said with a smile.

Just when the horse bumped, Li Zihe grabbed Shen Mo's skirt, watching the falling yellow leaves, the bare branches, trembling in the cold wind, the leaves had to drop their pedicles before they could drift freely, and she, the roots had to be broken to be able to fall. At the beginning of a new life, her root is the hatred that pierces the bone marrow.

"Someone once told me that if you have hatred on your back, you will no longer be able to be unrestrained and unrestrained in this life. Only by looking at everything in the world lightly can you keep your own clarity." Come.

Li Zihe chuckled: "Look lightly at everything in the world? If there is no love, hatred, and hatred, life is like a dead wood and a rock. What's the fun?"

Shen Mo clasped Li Zihe's hand tightly, didn't say any more, remained silent for a long time, and then said again: "The Ji Mansion was so powerful back then, part of it was forcibly cut down by Yun Jinyan, and part of it took refuge in Zheng Ying, and was taken away by him. Some of the Jifu's loyalists resigned and retired."

Shen Mo paused, and Li Zihe nodded lightly. She knew all of this, and Shen Mo continued: "For those who have resigned and retired, I have noticed that they have made some moves recently."

Li Zihe's body trembled, no wonder Shen Mo asked her if she had any tokens to prove that she was the Ji family, if they could be used...but then I thought about it, now that they have taken action, there must be a guide, who is it?What do they want to do with their actions?

"It's not a big move, it's just walking around more frequently, and... secretly collecting money to pave the way..." Shen Mo guessed her doubts, and replied directly: "As for who is secretly leading, there is no news yet. Are there any other survivors?"

Li Zihe's nose was sore, and his eyes were sore from the wind, he tried to keep his voice steady and said: "Should, no."

On the execution ground that day, even the housekeeper of the Ji family never let them go, and several relatives who were close to the Ji family were also present. According to the usual practice, even if they are not in the execution ground of Yundu, they will be executed at the same time in the execution ground where they are located. Most importantly, according to Yun Jinyan's temperament, he would not let go of his own flesh and blood, would he easily misplace which Ji family member?

Her rebirth this time is already a strange number, unless there is someone else like her...

"Don't worry, in a few days, the identity of the person behind the scenes will definitely be found out."

Shen Mo's deep voice caused a slight tremor in his chest. Li Zihe nodded lightly. It's not that she has never thought about the remnants of the Ji Mansion. Do you believe that you are Ji's family?Just relying on my own understanding of Jifu is not enough to prove it...

The so-called epidemic area is nothing but the efforts of the government to temporarily gather the people infected with the epidemic in an open space far away from the town, and set up tents for people to live in. When Li Yuyi and Zhen Yuyi saw Shen Mo, they were like seeing a savior. Usually, it's just a matter of tears.

Li Zihe didn't care about the epidemic, since it was controlled by Shen Mo, he must have a solution.

However, she still couldn't understand the benefits of this disease. Apart from panic, the disease did not cause death, let alone how it would affect Zheng and Gu's family.

Shen Mo was obviously procrastinating on purpose. For three days, he frowned and meditated every time he had a pulse diagnosis, as if he couldn't find the right way. Only then did Li Zihe realize that it would not be difficult for Shen Mo to act and fake...

On the fourth day, the cold wind was even worse, and there were dark clouds, as if it was going to snow. Li Zihe finally saw the relationship between the epidemic and the Gu family, because on this day, Gu Weiquan happened to pass by here on his way back to Yundu from Southwest County. , behind the team, followed tens of thousands of victims who moved north to seek medical treatment...

Li Zihe frowned and looked at the victims in ragged clothes, then turned around and went back to the tent. He wanted to take revenge, so why bother to act like a benevolent woman.

There was a commotion outside the tent. Seeing that the imperial court had sent four imperial doctors over, the victims were already at ease, but they were even more excited when they saw the general whom they had admired for a long time. The pain of being tortured by the epidemic was diluted by excitement. Watching Gu Weiquan and the army he led to watch the fun.

"Li Yuyi, I have to trouble Li Yuyi to give in tonight. How about sharing the tent with Shen Yuyi?" Li Yuyi, who hadn't seen him for a long time, lost a lot of weight. Seeing that Shen Mo was about to develop a method of healing, although Is it happy, but still can't hide the tiredness of the past few days.

"En." Li Zihe nodded to show his understanding, Gu Weiquan brought so many people here today, it is inevitable that there are not enough tents.

"Have you written out the prescription of Imperial Physician Shen?" Imperial Physician Li asked with a little hope.

Li Zihe hesitated for a moment and replied: "It should be soon, I'll go over and have a look."

Shen Mo is waiting for Gu Weiquan, right?Gu Weiquan came, and it was time for him to give a cure.

"I have admired Dr. Shen's name for a long time, I have admired him for a long time!"

Before Li Zihe entered the tent, he heard Gu Weiquan's voice, so he simply stopped and heard what Gu Weiquan was looking for him for.

"I heard that Dr. Shen is from Southwest County?" Gu Weiquan in the tent said while carefully looking at Shen Mo who was writing the prescription.

Shen Mo nodded, and said lightly: "Not bad."

"Hiss, I don't think I've ever heard of a family named Shen in Southwest County." Gu Weiquan pretended to be puzzled, and looked at Shen Mo again.

Seeing Shen Mo looking up, he quickly looked away and played with the teacup on the table.

"I come from a small family, the general has never heard of it."

"I heard that Chen Yinyin..."

"Zihe, come in." Shen Mo was a little impatient, interrupted Gu Weiquan, and shouted outside the tent.

Li Zihe opened the curtain, walked in, and saluted Gu Weiquan: "I have seen General Gu!"

"General Gu, this is the prescription to cure the disease. I still need to ask General Gu's subordinates to go to a distant town to collect some medicinal herbs and distribute them to the people." Shen Mo folded up the written prescriptions and handed them to Gu Weiquan .

Gu Weiquan's eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity to accumulate reputation among the people, he took it without hesitation, "Hehe, thank you, Dr. Shen, it's not too late, the old man will give orders."

After all, he left without even looking at Li Zihe.

Why was Li Zi puzzled and said: "Why is this?"

"Tomorrow we will go back to Yundu." Shen Mo put aside Li Zihe's question with a smile, took her hand and said, "You have a good rest tonight, I'll just lie outside for a night."

Then he took Li Zihe's clothes and put them beside the bed, but Li Zihe wanted to refuse, but seeing that there was only one bed in the tent, he also kept silent.

It was night, Li Zihe shrank his legs that were so sore every rainy day, and suddenly thought of Mu Pianwu, it happened to be the first day of the new year, but he couldn't go to see him, I don't know how he is now?
And Shen Mo, this time when Yun Jin asked her to come over, he was clearly asking her to help Shen Mo, but in fact, he wanted her to restrain Shen Mo, right?Shen Mo said that Yun Jinyan was afraid that they would run away, so it should be "he". To him, he might just be a burden, otherwise, with his kung fu, it would be easy to leave.

A loud whistling wind outside the tent, accompanied by Li Zihe's messy thoughts, made her suddenly restless. Shen Mo was outside alone, how could he fall asleep in such a cold weather?

Simply get up, put on your clothes and plan to search, it is better to be inside the tent than outside.

Just after getting out of bed, a gust of cold wind blew past, the curtain was lifted, Shen Mo's face was even colder under the moonlight, and the news he brought threw Li Zihe into the ice cave.

"Concubine Yan died suddenly in Lenggong, and the suspect, Feng Zongying, committed suicide in fear of crime."
