The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 165 Smallpox

The handsome figure in a white robe, who seemed to be returning from the waves under the moon, also overlapped with the person in front of him.

Before I knew it, such a long time had passed!
"What are you thinking?" But at this moment, Ye Zhaoqing heard a voice very close to him asking.

She was startled, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Murong Shen was leaning over, looking closely at herself.

Ye Zhaoqing blushed, pretending to be angry and said, "Why are you so close to me?"

"I saw that your eyes are so blurred, I thought you had sand in your eyes..." Murong Shen said with an innocent face, "I want to help you blow..."

"The window is not open, there is no gust of wind, how could there be sand?" Ye Zhaoqing almost laughed angrily at this lame excuse.

Murong Shen stood up straight, took two steps back, and said slowly, "Then why are you blushing?"

"I……"

"Okay, okay, no need to say more, I know." Murong Shen waved his hand and said with a smile: "What do you think of the current situation?"

"With your or my status, can you leave first?" Ye Zhaoqing thought for a while after hearing the words, "I still don't want to miss Huangquan's birthday next month."

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Murong Shen nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Don't worry, wrap it on me. In three days, we will set off for the capital."

"No, I will handle this matter this time." Ye Zhaoqing shook his head suddenly and said, "I don't want you to reveal your identity at this time."

"Do you have another way?" Murong Shen was a little curious when he heard this.

Ye Zhaoqing immediately laughed when he heard the words: "Go and see where Mr. Lin is now, I want to meet him."

"What did you see him for?" Murong Shen was immediately taken aback.

"Can you stop asking?" Ye Zhaoqing said: "Then Mr. Lin must be a pseudonym. This person is inseparable from the third prince, and he behaves like a dude. I guess he must be very famous in the capital." The background, the family behind must not be underestimated, rather than exposing your identity and leaving here, it is better to expose his."

When Murong Shen heard the words, he suddenly realized: "I understand what you mean. Mr. Lin must be worried when the young man died, for fear that he would also get smallpox. Let him take us back to Beijing."

"That's right! That's right." Ye Zhaoqing said.

"To achieve this result, Mr. Lin must also be infected with smallpox." Murong Shen frowned and said: "And you must have the ability to cure smallpox, you, do you have it? "

"I don't know how to cure smallpox." Ye Zhaoqing nodded simply.

Murong Shen was taken aback, he looked Ye Zhaoqing up and down, and said with a rare joke: "I said girl, since you don't know how to cure smallpox, why are you talking so much? Isn't it a waste of time?"

"No, this is not a waste of time." Ye Zhaoqing frowned immediately after hearing this, and said, "Smallpox is an incurable disease. There is no cure for it in all dynasties. It is just prevention."

"What do you mean, can you explain clearly?" Murong Shen asked doubtfully.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at him and said with a smile, "I mean, I don't know how to cure smallpox, but I have the ability to convince Mr. Lin that he won't die at all."

Murong Shen still couldn't understand.

What does Ye Zhaoqing mean?He was really confused.

On the other hand, Liu'er interrupted and said, "Miss, I understand what you mean, you want to convince Mr. Lin that you can guarantee that he won't get smallpox, right?"

"Smart! That's what it means!" Ye Zhaoqing smiled and patted Liu'er's head when he heard the words, and ordered: "Go and get my medicine box, and we'll go find Mr. Lin."

"Yes! Miss!" Perhaps because she didn't understand what smallpox was, and what was so terrifying about it, Liu'er acted like an optimist from the beginning to the end, and she responded crisply when she heard the words, and then went out.

"This girl has a simple mind and is quite loyal to you." Murong Shen glanced at Liu'er's back and said suddenly.

Ye Zhaoqing laughed when he heard the words: "Of course!"

"But don't you think she's too naive? It's written all over her face. After all, it's inappropriate for such a person to be by your side." Murong Shen said.

"There's nothing wrong with being innocent." Ye Zhaoqing was not angry when he heard the words, but just sighed and said, "I really want to live innocently, but it's a pity that God doesn't give me this chance."

These words were too sentimental, Murong Shen didn't know how to answer the words for a while, and couldn't help hesitating.

"Miss!" But at this moment, Liu'er hurried back and said solemnly, "Miss! Another person died in the inn today!"

"Who is it!" Ye Zhaoqing immediately stood up when he heard the words, "Is it Mr. Lin?"

He tossed with that young man for several nights, and he is the one who is most likely to get sick now.That's why she asked.

Murong Shen said: "Don't worry, let her speak slowly."

"Thank you, Master Taifu." Liu'er heard the words, glanced at Murong Shen gratefully, and then said: "It's a waiter in the inn, it is said that Mr. Lin rewarded the young man with a roast chicken that only ate one bite. I gave it to him, and it turned out..."

"So it's the fault of gluttony!" Ye Zhaoqing sighed when he heard the words, and asked, "Apart from that Xiao Er, has anyone else ever eaten that chicken? Where are the chicken bones? Where are they thrown?"

"Miss, I don't even know what you're asking..." Liu'er looked at Ye Zhaoqing in embarrassment after hearing this, and said, "Your servant is going to inquire now?"

"No need, it's too dangerous to go out to inquire now. You are the person who serves Zhaoqing personally, and if something happens, you will definitely implicate Zhaoqing." Murong Shen shook his head and said, "Stay here and don't go anywhere. , I'm going to find out the news."

Saying that, he took a deep look at Ye Zhaoqing, turned around and left.

Ye Zhaoqing originally planned to negotiate with Mr. Lin, but Ye Zhaoqing had to shelve this plan temporarily.

Originally, she thought that the young man was the only one who got smallpox, but now it seems that is not the case.I don't know how many people will die later.

Smallpox is never merciful when it spreads.

Sure enough, after an hour, news came one after another, and people died one after another.

In just one day, eight people died in the entire town.

The hearts of the people were immediately panicked, even the government's suppression would be of no avail. Countless people packed up their burdens and left the city overnight. The scene was extremely grand.

Ye Zhaoqing stood on the second floor of the inn, watching the surging people downstairs rushing towards the city gate like a tide, with complicated eyes.

But not long after, the people who escaped from the city returned the same way. It turned out that they met people fleeing famine from the next county on the way, and smallpox was transmitted from there.

The young man who died at the beginning was from this town.

The people wanted to leave the city, but there were also refugees outside the city. No one knew who was infected with smallpox. What everyone could do was try not to get along with others. In just a few hours, the noisy streets returned to deserted.

more than usual.

The refugees outside the city were stopped outside because the city gate was closed in time, and the protests were deafening, but the parents and officials of Jinzhou City were ruthless and ignored them. From this day on, the city gate was no longer opened.

In the inn where Ye Zhaoqing lived, almost all the people had fled. When the government sent people to threaten with bright spears, the people still managed to escape. Under the threat of death, anyone is extremely brave.

Seeing the struggle of all beings in front of him, Ye Zhaoqing's determination to go back to the capital was suddenly shaken.

She is a doctor, and all her medical skills are to save people. When Li Yu was sick, she saved her grandmother and refused to accept her grandmother. She also cured her illness with the help of others. These ordinary people in Jinzhou City How innocent they are, they don't steal or snatch daily labor to live, although they are humble but also satisfied, how can she watch them die?

In comparison, what is Mr. Lin's fate?A scum like him should have died a long time ago!

Ye Zhaoqing finally made up his mind.

"Miss! Mr. Lin sent someone to invite you over!" But at this moment, Liu Er rushed in excitedly and said, "Didn't you always want to see him? Let's go!"

"No." After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing smiled and shook his head: "I've changed my mind. This Young Master Lin loves illnesses, so I don't have time to pay attention to him."

"Ah?" Liu'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, she really couldn't understand.

She couldn't understand why the good things her lady said suddenly changed?
However, she is a slave, so just obey.

"Okay, miss, this servant will go and reject him now." Liu'er said, turning around to retreat.

"Wait!" Ye Zhaoqing suddenly called to stop her: "You don't have to go back and tell Mr. Lin, he will understand soon if he can't wait for me."

"Oh." Liu'er stopped suspiciously upon hearing this.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at her and sighed: "Have you forgotten about Lin's mansion? You went alone, but you came out after a narrow escape. Now that I have rejected Mr. Lin, you went to tell him that he won't take his anger out on you." No wonder!"

"So that's the case." Liu'er suddenly realized when she heard the words: "Miss thinks like this for a servant, but the servant is like that elm-headed, unable to react for a long time, really damn it!"

"Okay, let's not go anywhere for the next two days, just stay here." Ye Zhaoqing stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Er to sit down on the chair.

Liu'er was about to answer, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door: "You two girls, the quicklime powder and the medicine jar you want are ready. Do you need the little one to help you move in?"

"No, just put it there." Ye Zhaoqing said.

"Okay then! Miss, please use it slowly." Xiao Er responded, then turned and retreated.

"Ye Zhaoqing! Come out for me!" But at this moment, there was a burst of exasperated voices outside the door.

The corners of Ye Zhaoqing's mouth curled up when he heard this voice: "Young Master Lin, why are you here?"

"Get out first!" Mr. Lin said in a cold voice.

"Then what if I don't go out?" Ye Zhaoqing asked back.
