At this time, Lou Yanlin was also weak all over and unable to speak. Hearing Su Yujin say this, he just nodded with difficulty to show his agreement.
Lu Wenjing brought the bowl over and said, "Mr. Lou has contracted an epidemic. He is almost exhausted after vomiting and diarrhea. Adding salt and sugar to this warm water will help him recover faster."
As she spoke, Lu Wenjing had already handed the spoon full of water to the corner of Lou Yanlin's mouth.
Lou Yanlin hesitated for a moment, but considering his current situation, he opened his mouth obediently.
After drinking half a bowl of water, Lou Yanlin felt better than before. He thanked Lu Wenjing with difficulty, "Thank you..."
"We are old acquaintances, Mr. Lou, there is no need to be so polite." Lu Wenjing pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Lou has to take another dose of medicine in an hour, so take a good rest now. If there is anything, call for help at any time."
The treatment of the epidemic has just begun, and there are still many things to do outside, so Lu Wenjing still needs to go out to help.
"Okay." Lou Yanlin's voice was hoarse and slow, "Thank you, Miss Lu."
Lu Wenjing smiled again, put the kettle and cup on the small coffee table beside Lou Yanlin's bed, and then went out.
Close the door when you go out.
The windows were open, allowing for plenty of air and light in the room. Also, because it was autumn, the weather was clear and crisp, so the room was not stuffy at all, but rather very bright.
Lou Yanlin felt much more comfortable at this time, but his brows were furrowed.
He was originally going to the county government office to seek help from Magistrate Sun of Shilin County, but why did he faint at that time?
I seemed to feel a slight pain in my neck at that time...
He must have been knocked unconscious.
Who could it be and why would they do this?
Were Xiaosong and the eldest son also discovered by now? No, they wouldn't be. If they were discovered, he would be killed by the other party instead of being spared.
After all, with wars and epidemics raging everywhere, one more corpse on the street would not be taken seriously, and the government would not have the time to investigate.
Lou Yanlin's mind was racing, and suddenly he thought of something and reached out to touch his chest.
His chest was already empty.
Yes, Princess Ping'an and Miss Lu said that because of his illness, he had already taken a bath and changed his clothes, so the thing was naturally not there.
Did they keep it? Should I tell them the truth...
Lou Yanlin was very conflicted at this time.
Su Yujin and Lu Wenjing were still busy outside treating the epidemic. They did not stop until it was completely dark and prepared to rest.
Magistrate Sun hurried over under the starlight and with a chilly autumn feel. After catching his breath, he got straight to the point, "I heard that the man I brought here this morning has woken up. Where is he now?"
"County Magistrate Sun has arrived at the right time. I heard that when Mr. Lou fainted at the gate of the county government office, County Magistrate Sun found something on him. I wonder what it is?" Su Yujin asked.
Magistrate Sun hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "This thing is also very special. I was planning to ask Mr. Lou about it after he wakes up so that I can report it. Now Princess Ping'an and Miss Lu have asked about it, and you two are old acquaintances of Mr. Lou, so I hope you can help me ask about the situation as well."
As he spoke, Magistrate Sun took out the things.
This is something that looks like a token, but it is not very big in shape and is decorated with tassels at the bottom, making it look more like a jade pendant.
But it is dark in color and very heavy, as if it is made of black iron.
The word "Tuoba" is written on the front, and a wolf head is engraved on the back.
"Is this something from the royal family of Xijinyun Kingdom?" Lu Wenjing frowned.
"It should be." Magistrate Sun said, "The Tuoba family is the royal family of Xijinyun State, and this wolf head is a pattern that Xijinyun State has always admired, so I guess that this thing belongs to the royal family of Xijinyun State."
"Right now, our country is at war with the Western Jinyun Kingdom. I find it very strange that such an object appeared here, so I specially ordered someone to send Mr. Lou here for treatment, hoping to ask him a few questions to see if I can find out the reason."
Su Yujin thought for a moment, "Lord Sun is right. We should ask him clearly. However, Mr. Lou is seriously ill and has little energy. He has difficulty speaking. It is better to wait for two days until his condition stabilizes and then ask him in detail."
"In the next two days, Miss Lu and I will ask around to see if we can get any useful information."
"Then we will do as Princess Ping'an said. Once her condition stabilizes, please ask Princess Ping'an and Miss Lu to notify me." Magistrate Sun said, "This item is very important. I have a lot of things to do right now, and the runners around me are all very ordinary. Why don't we give this item to Princess Ping'an for safekeeping?"
County Magistrate Sun could see that the two guards beside Su Yujin and Lu Wenjing were very skilled and must have been there specifically to protect them.
If such important things are entrusted to them for safekeeping, those with ulterior motives will not be able to get close to them.
Su Yujin understood Magistrate Sun's intention and agreed.
After seeing off County Magistrate Sun, Su Yujin put the things away for the time being.
"Sister Jin." Lu Wenjing felt uneasy, "Mr. Lou... could he be the prince of Xijinyun Kingdom?"
If that were the case, now that the two countries are at war, Lou Yanlin would probably be imprisoned given his identity.
"It shouldn't be." Su Yujin said, "Mr. Lou's face is somewhat similar to the people of Xijinyun, but it is still more inclined to the appearance of the Han people. The royal family of Xijinyun has never been very accepting of the Han people. The king of Xijinyun will not marry a Han person as a concubine and give birth to a prince with Han blood."
"I guess this thing may not belong to Master Lou, but Master Lou probably has some relationship with the prince of Xi Jinyun. However, these are just our guesses. It is better to wait until Master Lou's condition gets better and then ask him."
"Then he..." Lu Wenjing hesitated to speak.
Will he tell the truth? But as Su Yujin said, these are all speculations, and it doesn't mean that Lou Yanlin won't tell the truth.
"Nothing." Lu Wenjing changed her tone, "Sister Jin, please rest early."
"Well, you should go to bed early too."
Although Lu Wenjing has been doing assistant work these days, she has never had a chance to rest and is very tired.
Her eye sockets were visibly sunken.
The two of them went back to their rooms to wash up.
After finishing the cleanup, Su Yujin called Shi Ding and Du Song over and told them to be careful of suspicious people around them and ensure Lou Yanlin's safety.
The two of them had been doing all the moving and lifting work and helping to treat the epidemic recently. Now that they had finally gotten a proper mission as secret guards, they both became excited and quickly agreed.
After coming out of Su Yujin's place, the eyes of both of them became sharp.
Tuoba is the surname of the Xianbei people. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was the surname of the Northern Wei emperor. This article is fictional and does not specifically target the Northern Wei. It is just borrowed to distinguish it from the Han nationality.
