Chapter 125 Prince Huai Zhou
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, without further explanation, but left a sentence "You still don't understand" and walked directly towards the carriage.
He then told everyone what he had learned. This epidemic was very strange and appeared very suddenly, but the magistrate of Le County responded very promptly and did not let the disease spread.
So the news did not spread.
Nowadays, all the pharmacies in the city are short of medicine, and the two most needed herbs are scissors money and spotted leaf yellow.
"Master, we don't have these two medicinal herbs." Jiang Cheng said finally.
Luo Tingshan was silent for a while before saying, "I remember Jiang Feng is nearby. Send him a letter. If you can find him, please deliver it to me before dawn."
"Yes!" Jiang Cheng agreed, and then asked, "Are we not going to continue our journey tonight?"
Luo Tingshan looked at the sky and saw that it would be dawn in a few hours.
He said, "Let's find a flat place to rest first and see how the situation is tomorrow."
Since there is a shortage of medicine, it proves that there is a cure, so the epidemic should not be as serious as imagined.
It would be great if we could go into the city tomorrow.
Thinking of something, Luo Tingshan's expression changed slightly: "Where is the Luo family now?"
Jiang Cheng immediately understood what he meant. Just as he stood up and was about to leave, he turned around and said, "According to the schedule, I think we'll be able to reach Guancheng tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Luo Tingshan nodded slightly, and he felt relieved.
Jiang Cheng was about to lift the car curtain and get out when he was stopped again.
He asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong?"
Luo Tingshan: "Switch with Jiang Feng, and he will stay with me from now on."
Jiang Cheng's face changed drastically, and he immediately rushed over, but when he thought of his master's legs, he quickly stopped, "Why? Did I not take good care of you? Or did I make some mistake..."
"Neither." Luo Tingshan had other plans and slowly explained his reason: "Too many people recognize your face!"
If Jiang Cheng continues to act openly, he will eventually attract other people's attention.
Jiang Cheng: ...
…
The next day, the sky was just getting light.
After resting in the immortal palace for some time, Zhu Mingqing has returned to normal.
But in order to prevent others from suspecting that she recovered too quickly, she applied a layer of white powder on herself, put on a veil, and prepared to go to the city gate to check the situation.
If the city gates remain closed, the medicinal herbs will have to be brought in.
Seeing that she was clearly ill but still running around, Fen Tao was very angry and put on a bad face for the first time: "Madam, can you please consider your own health?"
Zhu Mingqing knew she was worried about him, so he smiled and said, "Okay, Fen Tao, I promise you, if I feel uncomfortable, I will tell you the first time, okay?"
Pink Peach pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Silly girl." Zhu Mingqing ruffled her hair. "Do you think I'm that stupid? I'd disregard my own health for others?"
Fen Tao snorted and looked over with bright eyes: Isn’t it?
Zhu Mingqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What gave Fen Tao this illusion?
"Okay, let's go quickly, Lord Liang is still waiting downstairs."
Fen Tao sighed, still so disobedient.
The soldiers had all evacuated, and they walked out of the inn smoothly. The people in the north of the city also tried to come out, and when they found that no one was stopping them, they immediately ran to the pharmacy.
But the end result was either being kicked out of the pharmacy or not being able to buy any medicine.
When someone on the street saw someone running out from the north of the city, they immediately covered their mouths and noses and ran home, and even started cursing.
"Get out of here now."
"You dare to run out? Are you trying to kill us?"
Seeing this, Zhu Mingqing felt even more disheartened.
In fact, those people's conditions are not serious. As long as they have enough medicine, they will get better in three or two days. But some people just can't bear to see them get better.
Fool the people!
There was also a child who was pushed to the ground. Zhu Mingqing's eyes were slightly cold. He stepped forward to help the child up and stared coldly at those who had done it.
Perhaps they were frightened, and these people immediately dispersed. Zhu Mingqing also asked the child to go home quickly and promised that there would be medicine.
Liang He sighed: "You shouldn't lie to the child. Where did the medicine come from? There must be some."
Zhu Mingqing's eyes were indifferent. "Since I have made a promise, I will definitely keep my word."
At this moment, a tall carriage drove quickly out of the city, followed by several guards with swords, as if they were about to leave the city immediately.
But he was stopped at the city gate.
"How dare you! Do you know who my master is? How dare you stop us from leaving?" A stern and sharp voice came from the carriage.
The guards guarding the city stood still, following the order of the county magistrate and not allowing anyone to enter or leave the city gate.
Inside the carriage, a man in a navy blue robe lay weakly. He had fair skin and a gentle temperament. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes slightly. His thin face was almost pale, his fingers were slender, and he coughed continuously.
"Young Master..." Fugui, who had been taking care of his own young master, saw how haggard he looked, and his eyes turned red. "Don't be afraid, young master. We will be in Youzhou City soon. The imperial physician in the palace is very skilled. You will be fine."
"Ahem..." The man, who was probably in his early twenties, said with a worried look on his face, "Looking for Yu'er..."
Fugui wiped away a tear and said, "I left someone on the road, and they will definitely find the young master's whereabouts."
The carriage was not moving for a long time. Fugui looked angry and pushed open the door, demanding that those people open the city gate.
Seeing the person getting out of the carriage, Liang He was surprised. Someone from Prince Huai's Mansion?!
"Wealthy?"
A puzzled voice suddenly came from the side, and Fugui turned to look: "Master Liang, why are you here?"
Liang He stepped forward. This Fugui was the personal servant of Prince Huai. Now it seemed that the person in the carriage was the prince.
"I have been ordered to escort the prisoner to Guancheng, and am now stranded in Le County." Liang He asked, "I heard that the city gates are closed. I wonder if the prince has any way to leave the city?"
Fugui looked towards the city gate and snorted coldly: "A bunch of dogs relying on the power of others, dare to stop my young master, don't want to live anymore."
After saying that, he was about to lead his men out.
Liang He grasped his arm and asked in a low voice, "I didn't mean to overhear. You just said that your young master is sick?"
Fugui nodded and said hesitantly: "The doctors in Le County are too useless. They all say that there is no cure. I must take the prince back, otherwise..."
Liang He thought of something and became suspicious. He said, "Do you know that there's an epidemic in Le County these days? Is your son suffering from this disease? If so, then it's easy to say. There's a chance he can be cured!"
Fugui's face changed slightly. How come he had never heard of any epidemic?
Didn’t the doctors say they couldn’t find the cause?
Were they all lies to him?
Seeing this, Liang He said again, "Why don't we go and take a look? If what I said is true, then just take the medicine directly. You will be fine in two or three days."
