Chapter 213: The Third Aunt is Panic
Feng Tianxing didn't wake up even though she was sleeping in the carriage in such a big commotion. It can be seen how much energy is consumed in order to refine the elixir.
Yun Ranqing got on the carriage again and slowly walked towards the prefectural mansion.
The road was still so desolate.
His heart was heavy.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, the gatekeeper had been told long ago and ran up immediately.
"But has His Royal Highness Ming Wang arrived?"
"Yes, who is in the mansion?" A guard came forward and asked.
"In the mansion, the lady and the two young masters are here." The servant replied immediately.
"Go in and report."
The servant ran in in a flash.
This is just the mansion where Song Shuan lives, not a place for work.
"Sister Feng, we are here." Yun Ranqing had to wake Feng Tianxing up.
Feng Tianxing heard the call, stretched her waist, and yawned loudly before she woke up.
"Are we there? Have we entered the city?" Feng Tianxing thought he had just arrived at the city gate. He had been refining pills last night and stopped only when his spiritual power was exhausted.
He practiced in space for a while to replenish his spiritual power.
But after a good sleep, he was full of energy again.
"We have arrived at the door of your third uncle's house."
"Your servant, Song Chen, is honored to meet His Majesty the King Ming." At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the carriage to pay her respects.
Yun Ranqing immediately opened the curtain and saw a woman in her twenties standing outside the door. She had a pretty face, but her oval face
was a little pale. She must have been worried these days, and it was obvious that she had not had a good rest. She was wearing a light blue plain dress, and there were not many jewelry on her head, just a simple hairpin.
It was Chen Yiyu.
"Madam Song, please don't be polite." Yun Ranqing immediately helped her.
"Third aunt." Feng Tianxing's cheerful voice followed closely behind him.
Since she returned to the Marquis' Mansion when she was three years old, she has never seen this aunt. Third uncle has been in office for the past few years and has never returned to Beijing because of the distance.
It has been four years.
Chen Yiyu immediately raised her head and saw a seven-year-old girl sitting in the carriage.
She had known about this niece for a long time, but she only knew about her from the letters exchanged between the family.
Now she finally saw her in person.
"Eldest niece Tianxing?"
"Yes, this is the first time we meet. I often hear my grandmother mention you and third uncle." As she spoke, Feng Tianxing jumped down from the carriage.
Chen Yiyu was startled and was about to reach out to catch her, but was thrown into Feng Tianxing's arms.
"Tianxing, come with me to the mansion. Your elder brother arrived the night before yesterday and said that you might come today. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Your Highness Ming Wang, please." Chen Yiyun led Feng Tianxing and invited everyone to the mansion.
Chen Yiyun asked the housekeeper to arrange twenty guards.
Yun Ranqing asked two of them to go to the government office in the city to tell the prince that he was here.
Because of the spread of the epidemic, everyone tried not to go out as much as possible.
As soon as I entered, I saw two boys waiting in the main hall, one eight years old and the other four years old.
"Jinheng, Jinzhe, this is Your Highness Ming Wang, and this is Tianxing's cousin from your eldest aunt's family. Jinzhe, you have to call her cousin."
After getting to know each other.
Yun Ranqing couldn't wait to ask about the situation in Ganyang City.
"Madam Song, tell me about the situation in the city."
Feng Tianxing also wanted to know what the situation was like now.
"To your Majesty, since July 18th last month, the county magistrate of Linyuan County, Xie Wenyuan, reported that more than 200 people had the same disease, and then the county magistrates of three counties also reported the same thing.
My husband knew that things were not simple, and then the epidemic began to spread rapidly and could not be controlled at all.
He had to ask General Guan for help. Seeing that the situation was not good, General Guan immediately sent troops to various counties to control the flow of people and help with the investigation of all personnel.
All those who were infected with the epidemic were concentrated together for isolation, but later, there were too many people, and isolation could not solve the problem. The only thing we can do is to let the people stay at home as much as possible and avoid contact with others." Chen Yiyu said at the end, tears already streaming down her face.
It is really too serious.
"So far, more than 2,000 people have died. There are still many who are in critical condition. My husband has recruited doctors from all counties, but they can't cure the disease at all. The medicine prescribed by the doctors can only alleviate the symptoms.
Doctors have also fallen one after another, and officers and soldiers who participated in the rescue have also been infected. Now my husband and General Guan can only try their best to keep people from moving. But the people have to eat every day, and it is impossible not to go out at all.
Alas!
My husband is afraid of bringing the disease home, and he hasn't been home for more than 20 days. The three of us, mother and son, dare not go out, and can only occasionally communicate some news through the gate from a distance by shouting."
After speaking, Chen Yiyu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
She has been living in fear every day these days.
My husband is the head of a prefecture, and everything depends on him. I haven't seen him for two days, and I don't know if he has been infected.
Soon her eyes were red from being wiped by herself.
"Third aunt, we are here, the plague can definitely be controlled." Feng Tianxing comforted her.
At this moment, the sound of trotting footsteps came from outside the hall.
"Madam, the servant outside the gate has sent a message in, the master..., the master suddenly fainted." The person who came was the housekeeper of the Song Mansion, Shang Xu. The son of Shang Sheng, the old housekeeper of the Song family in Beijing.
"What?" Chen Yiyu stood up in shock and suddenly burst into tears again.
"Wuwuwu, he still can't avoid it. He runs outside all day and night, but he still can't escape this disaster." Chen Yiyu felt like the sky was falling.
Her husband was also infected with the plague. If he can't be cured, what will happen to this family? What will happen to so many people?
Then the two children cried when they saw their mother crying.
"Don't be sad, Third Aunt, Uncle will be fine." Feng Tianxing had to comfort her.
"Uncle Shang, do you know where Third Uncle is now?" Feng Tianxing asked.
"The servant said that he is being carried from outside the city to the city." Shang Xu answered immediately.
"Uncle Shang, tell them to carry my third uncle to the government office in the prefectural city. His Royal Highness Prince Ming and I will go there right away." Feng Tianxing responded immediately. "
Third aunt, if you are worried, come with us. Take this medicine first, and you won't be infected." Tianxing took out a pill and asked Chen Yiyu to take it immediately.
Chen Yiyu took it without saying a word.
She was extremely anxious now.
The worries of the past few days were magnified to the extreme.
A seven-year-old child was regarded as the backbone.
Feng Tianxing and Yun Ranqing, who had not even sat down to warm up, immediately got on the carriage and went to the government office in the prefectural city.
When they hurried to the government office, Song Shuan had just been carried here.
Song Shuan, who is already 27 years old, has his eyes tightly closed and his brows are tightly wrinkled.
His round face is so thin that it is just skin and bones, which shows how tired and worried he is these days.
When Feng Tianxing saw a "cross" on Song Shuan's forehead, she knew that her third uncle was really infected with the disease and could only live for ten days.
In order to make him recover quickly, Feng Tianxing fed him a healing pill.
Several yamen runners looked at her in a panic.
When they learned that these two were the nieces of His Royal Highness the King of Ming and the adults, and saw that the wife of the prefect was also looking at them eagerly, their panicked hearts were slightly relieved.
The whole Ganyang City is looking at the adults. What if the adults fall down?
The Crown Prince brought people and assigned them to various counties to investigate. The prefectural city was still left to the adults to take charge of the overall situation.
Time passed.
Everyone stared at Song Shuan lying on the couch without blinking.
About two quarters of an hour later, Song Shuan suddenly opened his eyes.
