Shu Shiyu was about to fall asleep when he heard a familiar knock on the door. Bai Tong opened the door and then stepped out.
Shu Shiyu was sitting on the bed in her pajamas. She looked up when she saw him coming and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Tongchen picked her up and tucked her into the quilt. "I'm sorry, Qingqing, I can't accompany you back to Beijing. I have some things to deal with. I will let Jiang Xi and Nanxing follow you, and Ziling will also stay with you."
There must always be someone with medical skills by her side.
"Where are you going?" She rubbed his cheek.
"Lingfeng County, I will come to you after I solve the problem."
"Okay, come back safely."
Yu Tongchen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't ask him what he was going to do.
"Yes, I will come back and marry you."
He kissed her lips, and finally couldn't help but hold her waist and press her down to kiss her, their lips and teeth lingering.
During the days when the old man was here, the most he dared to do was secretly hold his sweetheart's hand.
After kissing her until her eyes were moist and blurry, he pulled away and said, "Qingqing, wait for me to come back."
"Um."
He took two steps out, turned back, and kissed her lips heavily, "My dear, you must miss me."
Shu Shi and Wu Nai smiled and kissed back, "Yes, I think about it every day."
Yu Tongchen was satisfied and kissed her cheek, "Sleep well, Qingqing, you don't have to see me off."
After going out the door, Shang Lu and other secret guards appeared behind Yu Tongchen.
"Master, the horses are ready."
Yu Tongchen jumped on his horse and said, "Let's go without further delay."
Hearing the voice, Ling Yao came out in his outer robe, "Where are you going, little brat?"
Yu Tongchen held the reins and stood on his horse, "Old man, there is a plague in Lingfeng County. They wrote to say that it is very difficult to deal with. I have to go there and can't accompany you and Qingqing back to Beijing."
"I have prepared everything that needs to be prepared. I wish you and Qingqing a safe journey."
"Go, and come back safely, or I will find another good man for Qingqing in the future."
"Yes, if you do this, I will be angry with you." Yu Tongchen raised the reins and rode away.
The sound of horse hooves and his figure disappeared in the long night, leaving only the lights and the breeze in the courtyard.
Ling Yao sighed and went back into the house.
Yu Tongchen galloped for three days and three nights and finally arrived at Lingfeng County.
"Master, you are finally here." Yuan Youli couldn't help but look excited when he saw him.
Yu Tongchen nodded, "What's going on?"
"The heavy snow and severe cold in winter left the people with the root of disease, and there was a severe drought in spring and summer, which killed many people. The bodies piled up without being dealt with, and with insects and rats gnawing at them, plague broke out."
"All the great doctors in Beijing and other places came and tried many prescriptions without success. The high fever was brought under control, but he was still coughing up blood."
“How to accommodate the sick in the city?”
"Those infected have been isolated according to the severity of their symptoms. The family members of the infected have also been placed under observation. The symptoms of this epidemic are similar to those in Gaoyuan County last year."
"What is the cause of the disease?"
"The preliminary diagnosis is that it was transmitted from person to person by plague."
"Yes." Yu Tongchen tied a face towel and put on a coat soaked in disinfectant and dried in the wind. "I'll go see the infected patients."
"Wait, where are you from? Why did you enter the city without informing this prince?"
"Yu Tongchen." Yu Tongchen glanced at him indifferently, dropped three words and entered the isolation area.
Yuan Youli turned around and bowed, "Third Prince, human life is at stake. Master is concerned about the people, please forgive me."
After Yuan Youli finished speaking, he followed Yu Tongchen and left.
"Yu Tongchen? Is he the miracle doctor who became famous at a young age?" Jing He frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
The attendant beside Jinghe replied, "Yes, he is also the fourth son of Duke Yu. When he was twelve years old, he massacred Duke Yu's mansion. In revenge for his biological mother, he killed Duke Yu's wife, two legitimate sons, and one illegitimate son. In the end, the emperor and Duke Yu did not pursue him."
