"Water..."
When Nangong Yue opened her eyes again, she felt weak all over, her lips were dry, and her mouth was even more bitter.
She had just uttered a syllable, and Xiao Yi, who was sitting next to the couch, had already moved his face over excitedly, with tears in his eyes, "Stinky girl, are you awake?... If you want some water, I'll give it to you. Pour!" He let go of Nangong Yue's hand and hurried to the table to pour water.
Following that, Lily's ecstatic voice was heard: "The third girl is awake! Doctor Wu, the third girl is awake!"
After Xiao Yicai fed her half a glass of water, Doctor Wu hurried into the inner room and said with relief: "Princess, you are finally awake!"
Xiao Yi hurriedly got out of the way. Doctor Wu sat down on the couch beside the couch, took Nangong Yue's pulse carefully, looked relieved, and said: "The pulse is gentle, I'm fine, and the fever has gone away." The Lord fell ill and had a fever just because he was too tired, and he did not contract the disease!"
Hearing this, Lily and Baihui cried with joy.
Lily clasped her hands together and said happily: "Thank God, Bodhisattva for blessing. When I return to the capital, I must go to Yaowang Temple to worship!"
"Third Miss, you have been unconscious for a day and a night! You have frightened the slaves!" Baihui also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the third girl did not suffer from an epidemic...
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yi who was standing aside. Throughout the day and night, Xiao Yi had barely taken a step away.
She almost didn't dare to think about what would happen to the third uncle if something happened to the third girl?
There seems to be an invisible thread in fate that tightly ties these two people together...
The corners of Baihui's mouth curled up slightly, feeling happy for Nangong Yue but also a little envious at the same time.
"Princess, you should have a good rest and pay attention to your health." Dr. Wu gently warned Nangong Yue, "You are also a medical student. You should understand that if your body is too tired, it is easy for diseases to invade! If you also If they fall down, the entire Hunting Palace patients will really be hopeless!"
Mr. Wu said so much because he cared about her. Nangong Yue responded obediently: "Mr. Wu, I will pay attention."
Physician Wu nodded happily and told Lily and Baihui: "The princess has just woken up. It's best to eat some liquid food such as porridge first. The princess will take another dose of the medicine I prescribed."
Lily and Baihui responded in unison. Doctor Wu gave a few more instructions before leaving.
Lily quickly brought over the warm white porridge carefully.
Xiao Yi originally wanted to feed Nangong Yue porridge with his own hands, but finally gave up after Nangong Yue's repeated insistence.
Seeing his somewhat regretful expression, Nangong Yue finished the bowl of warm white porridge in a few seconds, and then asked: "Ayi, how are Sister Xi and Brother Yuan doing now?"
Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue for a moment, and he knew that she couldn't let go of these things, although he was also worried about Xiaobai and the others...
"Baihui." Xiao Yi gave Baihui a look. Baihui hesitated a little, but went anyway. After a while, he brought out a stack of densely written paper.
After Xiao Yi took it, he handed it to Nangong Yue, "This is the pulse report that Imperial Physician Wu just brought. Take a look."
Baihui and Lily looked at each other. To be honest, Nangong Yue had just recovered from her fever. For selfish reasons, they didn’t want Nangong Yue to bother her. However, thinking of Yuan Lingbai and Jiang Yixi’s illness, they knew they couldn’t persuade Nangong Yue. Yue could only remain silent in the end.
Nangong Yue took the stack of paper and flipped through several pages at a glance, her expression getting increasingly ugly.
In this short day and night, two more people died, and five more people also showed symptoms of fever and were diagnosed by the imperial doctor as having an epidemic.
When Nangong Yue saw Yuan Lingbai's pulse, her browsing speed slowed down unconsciously, and the back of her left hand was so tight that the veins bulged. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Ayi, the second brother Yuan is in very bad condition...I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for a few days."
Xiao Yi couldn't help but be surprised. He also knew from the imperial doctor that Yuan Lingbai was getting worse now, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
"Ayi," Nangong Yue frowned and said hesitantly, "...in the past two days, I actually thought about a prescription that might be able to temporarily stabilize the condition, but this prescription is very dangerous. If not Shen, I'm afraid it will make the condition worse. But now, the second brother Yuan's situation can no longer be delayed, I want to give it a try."
Nangong Yue remembered that her grandfather once said that sometimes, what patients lack most is time, so as long as time can be bought, it is not an exaggeration to use any dangerous tricks.
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Let Xiaobai decide for himself." It is a matter of life, and no one can make the decision for him. Although Xiao Yi knew that with Yuan Lingbai's character, he would definitely agree to take the risk.
Nangong Yue nodded. After Xiao Yi retreated to the outside, Baihe Baihui served her and stood up to change clothes and add a cloak.
Nangong Yue's steps were still a little shaky. After taking the medicine, Baihui supported her and went to Ba Yong Hall with Xiao Yi.
Nangong Yue told Yuan Lingbai about the risks one by one, and finally emphasized again: "Brother Yuan, I am only 60% sure."
Yuan Lingbai was half lying on the bed, leaning against the pillow. The torture of the epidemic had made him lose a lot of weight in just a few days. His face was slightly pale, but he still had a smile on his lips and said optimistically: "Six If it works, that's more than half the chance. There's nothing to hesitate about, just try it your way. I don't believe that my original Ling Bai is a short-lived ghost."
His relaxed and firm attitude unconsciously infected the others, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to be much lighter.
Now that Yuan Lingbai had made up his mind, Nangong Yue did not delay any longer and wrote two prescriptions on the spot. She handed one prescription to Lily and said: "Grab the medicine and fry three bowls and one bowl." Then she gave the other recipe. A prescription was handed into Bai Hui's hand, "Go to Xinglin Hall to find these medicinal materials and bring them here. Then prepare a bathtub filled with freshly boiled hot water. I want to give Second Young Master Yuan a medicinal bath."
"Yes, Miss Three." Lily and Baihui took the order and left. With the help of the palace maid, they quickly prepared everything.
Lily fried the medicine herself in the yard, while Baihui directed everyone to move the bathtub, hot water, medicinal materials, etc. into the inner room... Before long, the room was filled with a strong aroma of medicine.
After Baihe cooked the medicine, he gave it to Yuan Lingbai. After a while, his complexion became paler than before taking the medicine, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Nangong Yue asked Yuan Lingbai's servant to serve him in the medicinal bath, and then implicitly said to Yuan Lingbai, "The medicinal bath will take at least two hours. Second brother Yuan, it will be a little painful, please bear with it." ."
The group retreated to the outer room.
Nangong Yue was a little uneasy and couldn't even sit down peacefully. She thought about her recipe over and over again, trying to make sure she had done nothing wrong.
The core of the decoction and medicated bath she prescribed for Yuan Lingbai was still horse blood. Tests over the past few days have proven that this horse blood has the effect of relieving symptoms, but it is also extremely powerful. Once overdosed, it will cause serious health problems. Accelerate the process of death.
Nangong Yue thought carefully and studied it, and felt that the young boy who died in Yu Shiling Mansion was already in the final stage of the disease at that time, and his internal organs were damaged, so he could not bear the overly powerful medicine. Therefore, she improved the prescription and chose a medicated bath in order to allow the medicine to be absorbed more gently, but even so, she was still not sure that the patient could withstand the medicinal properties...
She didn't even have time to test the efficacy of the medicine in a more appropriate way, and she had already reached this point...
A painful groan came from the inner room, but it was immediately swallowed by gritted teeth. Nangong Yue's body stiffened and she subconsciously glanced in the direction of the inner room, praying in her heart that Yuan Lingbai could survive this or not.
At this time, Yuan Lingbai, who was soaking in the bathtub, was so painful that his facial features were almost deformed, as if his internal organs were shifting, making him wish he could just faint and forget about it...
In the end, he finally fainted as he wished, but after a while, he was woken up by the pain again. For the next time, Yuan Lingbai spent the next time fainting and waking up from the pain... …
After he finished taking the medicinal bath for two hours, Yuan Lingbai felt like a fish out of water, almost out of breath, and his whole body felt more like a cramp. As if weak, as soon as he lay back on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep.
Nangong Yue took Yuan Lingbai's pulse again with a solemn expression. Everyone in the room looked at Nangong Yue nervously. A look of relief soon appeared on her face, and everyone's high-spirited hearts were slightly relieved.
"Except for being a little weak, judging from his pulse, Brother Yuan's condition has improved a lot. All he needs to do is take the medicine according to the prescription." She wrote three prescriptions and told Yuan Lingbai's servant After learning how to use the medicine, he and Xiao Yi left Ba Yong Hall and planned to go to Jiu'an Zhai to see Jiang Yixi's condition.
The good news from Yuan Lingbai made both of them feel better, especially Nangong Yue. The repeated setbacks and failures during this epidemic made her doubt herself again and again, but He tried hard to cheer up again, trying to find a way out of the gloom in front of him.
Although no cure has been found so far, this success has once again confirmed Nangong Yue’s previous thoughts. The focus is still on the good horse, but it’s a pity...
She couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "Smelly girl, isn't Abo much better? Why are you still sighing?"
Afraid that he would be worried, Nangong Yue immediately explained: "Brother Yuan is indeed much better, and his pulse is much more stable. If my estimate is correct, his condition should be stable for two to three days..." At this moment, even if An extra day is crucial too!
She bit her lower lip and said in a weak voice: "I just feel that it is a pity... This medicine is still too strong, so it is not suitable for girls and the elderly and infirm." In other words, It is not suitable to be used on Jiang Yixi.
As they spoke, the two of them turned to the right, and Jiu'anzhai appeared in front of them. What caught their eyes was a familiar figure - Han Huaijun!
During this period, Han Huaijun would wait here for Nangong Yue every day, wait for Nangong Yue to come, wait for Nangong Yue to come out of Jiu'an Zhai, and learn about Jiang Yixi's condition from her mouth, every day. .
They all knew Han Huaijun's thoughts about Jiang Yixi, but no one made it clear.
The same goes for today...
After seeing Jiang Yixi, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi returned to Qingxia Zhai. After Xiao Yi drank the preventive decoction, Nangong Yue drove him back to Yanyuzhai to bathe and change clothes. In this situation, he could no longer be careless.
In less than half an hour, Xiao Yi came back impatiently.
"Third aunt!" When Baihui saw Xiao Yi, she hurriedly saluted, but her voice was very low, "Third aunt is asleep."
Xiao Yi had obviously just finished taking a shower. His body exuded a strong smell of mugwort, and his black hair was still a little wet. A soft smile flashed in his eyes when he looked at Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue is lying on the desk at the moment, her eyes are closed tightly, her thick and long eyelashes are drooped, creating a fan-shaped shadow under her eyes, her fair cheeks are showing a faint blush, and her steady breathing shows that she is sleeping properly. It's sweet.
"Baihui, go get a blanket." Xiao Yi whispered to Baihui, while gently picking up Nangong Yue and placing her on the beauty's couch.
And he was sitting next to her, quietly accompanying her, looking at her, feeling very happy in his heart: Fortunately, she is okay, okay!
Time is so quiet and beautiful that people can’t bear to break it...
It wasn't until the second watch that Lily came in a hurry and said with a sad face: "Third uncle, Miss Jiang's condition has suddenly deteriorated. She...she..."
As soon as he saw Lily's look, Xiao Yi knew that the situation was not good, so he quickly shook Nangong Yue's shoulders and called out: "Smelly girl!"
Nangong Yue's eyes moved. She was a little confused at first, but then she sat up with a startle and asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"
"Miss Jiang vomited blood!" Lily was not only worried about Jiang Yixi, but also worried about Nangong Yue. The scene of the three girls fainting before still seemed to be before her eyes.
According to previous cases, once vomiting blood means that the internal organs begin to deteriorate, and then they will soon enter a coma... So far, none of the comatose patients has woken up.
How is that possible? Jiang Yixi's illness shouldn't have reached this stage yet. How could it suddenly worsen? !
Nangong Yue's hands were trembling. She tried to calm down, stood up suddenly and said, "Lily, get me a hood, let's go to Jiu'an Zhai now!"
After Baihui and Lily served Nangong Yue and put on their cloaks, the group hurried to Jiu'an Zhai.
When they got there, Han Huaijun was already waiting outside Jiang Yixi’s house. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes said everything silently:
Princess, I leave everything to you!
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, then asked Xiao Yi to wait outside, and then she and Baihui entered the house.
"Princess!" Jiang Yixi's maid Qingyi looked at Nangong Yue in panic, feeling at a loss what to do, "You must save my girl!"
"How many times has your girl coughed up blood? What color is the blood she coughed up?" Nangong Yue asked as she walked quickly towards the inner room.
Qingyi hurriedly replied: "I coughed twice, the blood is dark..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a violent cough coming from the inner room: "Cough cough cough..."
Nangong Yue's expression changed, and she rushed in at a trot. She saw Jiang Yixi lying on the bedside, covering her mouth with a plain white handkerchief, coughing violently, and her body was shaking slightly.
"Sister Xi!" Nangong Yue was about to rush to Jiang Yixi's couch when she saw a blue figure striding past her and walking to Jiang Yixi's couch even faster than her.
It’s Han Huaijun!
Nangong Yue was startled and couldn't help but slow down her steps.
Jiang Yixi finally stopped coughing, looked at Han Huaijun beside the couch in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "You...why did you come in?" A moist glimmer appeared in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.
Han Huaijun looked at Jiang Yixi and only said: "I want to come and see you."
"You..." Jiang Yixi's pale and dry lips were stained red with dark red blood, which looked particularly shocking. She wanted to say something, but she coughed heartbreakingly, and the blood stained her plain white veil...
"Baihui, silver needle." Nangong Yue said anxiously, not caring about Han Huaijun, taking the silver needle package from Baihui's hand, and skillfully pricked Jiang Yixi's several large acupoints... A moment later , Jiang Yixi gradually calmed down and fell asleep tiredly.
Nangong Yue took Jiang Yixi's pulse again and put her arm back under the quilt.
"Princess..." Qingyi wanted to ask something, but seeing Nangong Yue's expressionless face, she suddenly didn't dare to ask, let alone think about it deeply. She could only say to herself: It's okay, my girl It will be fine.
Nangong Yue walked out of Jiang Yixi's room silently. Almost as soon as she went out, her tears couldn't help but flow down. Fatigue swept through her body in an instant, and she felt as if she was about to collapse at any time.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, she has never felt so tired and unable to live...
"Stinky girl!" Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue nervously and worriedly. His stinky girl has always been strong, so strong that he sometimes feels that she could be a little weaker and rely on him a little more... But now his stinky girl is crying?
"Ayi," Nangong Yue took a deep breath and said slowly and with difficulty, "Sister Xi, I'm afraid she won't last two days..." Jiang Yixi finally escaped the fate of getting married, but she couldn't escape the epidemic. Is this a disaster? In his previous life, at least before his death, Jiang Yixi was still alive and well, but in this life...
Xiao Yi gently patted Nangong Yue on the back without saying anything. At this time, any comfort is in vain.
"Third Miss," Lily suddenly walked over quickly and whispered in Nangong Yue's ear, "The young master is here."
Master? !
Of course the young master in Baihe’s mouth is Guan Yubai!
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi looked at Lily together, with the same thought in their minds:
Why did Guan Yubai come here in person? !
"Young master is in Qingxia Zhai's study."
As soon as Lily finished speaking, Nangong Yue quickly wiped away her tears, and hurried back to Qingxia Zhai with Xiao Yi, where she saw Xiaosi standing in front of the study, as cold as ever. Pushing open the door of the study room, one saw Guan Yubai in plain clothes with his back to the door, standing in front of the desk, holding a medical book in his hand and reading through it. There was a strange man in black sitting on one side of the study. He leaned back on the chair boredly and yawned lazily, but Xiao Yi could feel a dangerous edge from his body. Obviously, this man His skills are not weak.
As if hearing the sound, Guan Yubai put down the book and turned around to look over. He smiled slightly, and his thin figure made him look like an immortal, as if he would vanish at any moment.
Guan Yubai smiled and greeted, "Ayi, Princess Yaoguang, you seem to be in good spirits."
"Young Master." Nangong Yue frowned slightly and said, "Why are you here? The Imperial Guards outside..."
Guan Yubai is physically weak, and the epidemic is more like a poisonous snake and beast to him, and he is more likely to be infected than ordinary people.
"The Royal Forest Army didn't notice me." Guan Yubai had a gentle smile on his face. On this cold autumn night, his smile seemed to bring a warm spring breeze, and he said in a gentle voice, "There are some things I need to tell you personally about this epidemic."
Guan Yubai, who was far away in the royal capital, discovered the epidemic first. But now... could it be that Guan Yubai knew how to treat this epidemic? !
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but feel a little expectant and a little scared.
Xiao Yi asked Guan Yubai to sit down, looked at him and asked, "Xiao Bai, do you have any good ideas?"
Newbie? Nangong Yue couldn't help but be startled when she heard this title. She didn't expect that the relationship between Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai was so close, but think about it, they were also close friends in their previous life. But this "little white"... always reminds Nangong Yue of his stupid cat.
"This epidemic also occurred in the previous dynasty a hundred and fifty years ago. At that time..." Guan Yubai did not waste time, but told everything he knew. They finally concluded, "...So, I suspect that there is someone behind this epidemic, just like a hundred and fifty years ago."
Nangong Yue was shocked. She never thought that this seemingly ordinary epidemic would have such a profound meaning behind it. Nangong Yue felt a chill rising deep in her heart, making her limbs feel cold.
If it is true as Guan Yubai said, this epidemic is a man-made conspiracy, it would be simply terrible.
Nangong Yue’s lips were trembling, and she was speechless.
Xiao Yi remained calm. After Guan Yubai said all this, he blurted out: "Could it be Chang Di?"
Nangong Yue exclaimed: "Chang Di?"
"Ah Yue, do you still remember that horse?" Xiao Yi told Guan Yubai how they got the Changdi horse from the racecourse.
Of course Nangong Yue remembered the Changdi horse, and it was almost certainly the horse that brought the epidemic. However, how could she have thought that this was not a coincidence or an accident, but a conspiracy!
Guan Yubai tilted his head slightly and said in a soft voice: "Since the horse has grown from Di, it must be right. ... After the epidemic in the previous dynasty, the Chang Di army marched straight in. If it hadn't been for the subsequent Due to civil strife in Di, the country may have changed hands. But even so, it took nearly fifty years of recuperation before the former and subsequent dynasties regained their strength."
Nangong Yue took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said, "Since this epidemic came from Changdi, should we go to Changdi to find a solution?" As she said this, she looked Somewhat sadly, "It's just that Changdi is too far away from here. Even if they rush back and forth, I'm afraid Brother Yuan and Sister Xi won't be able to delay that day."
"Maybe it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Guan Yubai's fingers clucked on the armrest, and he changed the subject and asked, "...What's the difference between that Chang Di horse and my Dayu horse? For example, in raising Go up...what's so special about its fodder and drinking water? Maybe we can find a breakthrough from it."
Those who are in authority are confused, but those who watch are clear.
Nangong Yue and the others focused all their attention on how to save people. When they saw the horse, they naturally thought that there was something special about it that could keep it healthy and completely I didn't notice any difference between it and other horses.
"Let's go to the Leisha Racecourse again." Xiao Yi's eyes lit up and he made a decision immediately, "While there are still people alive in the racecourse."
Nangong Yue also hurriedly stood up and said: "I will go with you." As soon as she reached the door, she hurriedly stopped and warned, "Young Master, the epidemic is rampant in this hunting palace, you better not You can walk around freely, but remember to ask Xiaosi to boil some water with mugwort leaves and drink it later."
Guan Yubai nodded with a smile.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue hurried out of the study, took Imperial Physician Wu with them, and ordered twenty Royal Guardsmen to accompany them, and rushed to the Thunder Racecourse that night.
Guan Yubai sneaked into the Hunting Palace secretly. Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue did not tell anyone about his arrival, so their words to others were just that Nangong Yue suddenly thought of something very important and must do it immediately. Rush to the Thunder Racecourse.
The group of people traveled at night and rushed to the Thunder Racecourse. They wanted to ask the Imperial Forest Army guarding outside to call out Manager Yao, but they were told that Manager Yao was also sick.
Although she was mentally prepared, Nangong Yue couldn't help but sigh.
This epidemic is developing too fast, and the imperial doctors are not enough manpower. For the racecourse, they can only provide some medicinal materials and a large amount of moxa leaves, masks and other necessities. However, for the epidemic that is spreading crazily, In other words, this can only provide short-term and limited protection.
Nangong Yue asked calmly: "How many people are still healthy here?"
Captain Hong said with a wry smile on his face: "Back to the princess, there may be no one left. It won't be long before we can order this place to be burned down." As he said this, he suddenly thought of something and paused. After a pause, he added, "...By the way, there is a steward named Xin. Yesterday he said that he was not sick and had to go out."
"A steward named Xin?"
"He lives in the stable over there. As long as he doesn't break out, we won't care about him."
As Captain Hong was talking, he ordered someone to open the fence. After Nangong Yue and his party took all the precautions, they once again stepped into the Leisha Racecourse, a place comparable to hell.
At this time, the Leisha Racecourse was even more lonely than the last time they came. Even the oncoming wind seemed to carry the stench of death. Obviously, no one had dealt with those human and horse corpses for a long time. Just as Captain Hong said, when everyone inside is dead, everything will be destroyed with a fire.
"Don't worry." Xiao Yi's voice reached her ears, gentle but firm, "I will stay with you."
Nangong Yue responded softly and slowly calmed down.
They soon arrived at the row of stables on the outside. Several forest guards who came with them went there first to search, and then came back and reported back: "Your Majesty, Princess, we have found the person, and he is still alive."
Nangong Yue solemnly said: "Thank you." Then she walked over.
The guards looked at her with sincere respect in their eyes. They kicked open the stable door and shouted inside: "Come out."
A middle-aged man in blue cloth came out timidly. He shrunk his shoulders and said timidly: "S-Sir... I didn't want to escape, sir..." His cloth clothes It was covered with dirt and hay, and there was a stench. His hair was messy, and his cloudy eyes were full of fear.
"Don't be nagging." A royal guard who accompanied them in shouted and said, "The prince and the princess have something to ask you."
"Your Majesty?"
When Manager Xin saw Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed with tears and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, I really have not contracted the epidemic. Please let me Get out."
"Let me ask you." Nangong Yue spoke up and asked, "Is it the horse you went to Chang Dijin?"
"Horse?" Manager Xin was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly, "It's a small one. It's a small one!"
"Where did you buy this horse?"
"Small, small..."
Seeing his eyes dodge a little, Xiao Yi snorted coldly and said, "Just tell me honestly when I ask you, otherwise do you think you can survive if you escape the epidemic?" As he said, he used With a glance, a guard suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand and pressed it against his neck.
Guanshi Xin was frightened and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, spare your life, I'm telling you, I'm telling you..."
Leida Racecourse is the largest racecourse in the northwest, but in the past few years, because they have not bred outstanding horse breeds, their reputation has been declining. Therefore, the owner of Leisha Racecourse, the Huangshang Li family, became anxious and ordered someone to Spend a lot of money to find some outstanding stallions from various places for breeding and training. Manager Xin also led his people and set off. While passing through Changdi, he accidentally saw a horse at the horse market. It was extremely majestic. Manager Xin immediately bought it and brought it back to Dayu.
Guanshi Xin said in panic: "Master Shizi, I was looking for a broker from Changdi. He took me to the largest horse market in Changdi..."
"Then you fell in love with that horse at a glance?" Xiao Yi said with a half-smile, "Do you think I'm a fool?!"
Guanshi Xin quickly kowtowed and said, "Young ones don't dare, little ones don't dare..."
The sword pressed against his neck came closer and immediately left a thin line of blood. Manager Xin was so frightened that he urinated all over, "Little, little..."
Xiao Yi's voice was cold, exuding a strong bloodlust, and he said word by word, "I will give you one last chance."
"Sir, please spare your life...Sir, please spare your life!" Manager Xin was extremely frightened and cried, "When I went to Changdi, I lost all the money I brought with me in the casino... Later, in A friend I met in the casino saw that Xiao Xiao was pitiful, so he gave Xiao Xiao his own horse and asked Xiao Xiao to bring him back for business."
Ever since the horse plague broke out in the racecourse, Manager Xin thought that the horse he brought back might be the cause of the trouble, but how could he dare to say it? Later, when people started to die, he was even more afraid to say it. Seeing himself People he knew were getting sick and dying one by one, and he was afraid that it would be his turn next moment. He also thought about escaping, but his whole family was born in the Li family. If he escaped, he would be a runaway slave, and even his family would be sold. Later he also fell ill, and then the racecourse was closed by the emperor's decree...
Xiao Yi continued to ask: "Besides horses, what else did you bring back?"
Manager Xin timidly said: "There are only horses. Because I only brought back one horse, the younger one was taught a lesson by the senior manager and his monthly payment was deducted for three months."
Xiao Yi asked coldly: "What about fodder and the like? In order to avoid acclimatization, when traveling long distances, you will bring some local fodder and even horse medicine. Especially for such a majestic horse, even more It needs careful care. Wouldn’t it be bad if he died accidentally?!”
Guanshi Xin reacted and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes! The younger one brought back two full carts of fodder. They are piled in the stable over there."
"Bring some here and have a look." Xiao Yi motioned to the imperial guard to let go of his sword. Manager Xin hurriedly crawled back to the stable and took out a handful of grass. Over time, the fodder has become hay.
Xiao Yi took it and gave it to Nangong Yue. She identified it carefully and said, "This seems to be sunflower grass, a wild weed that can be found everywhere on the mountain."
Xiao Yi nodded and asked, "Has that Chang Di horse been using this grass since it got here?"
"It was at first, and then it was gradually mixed with other horse's feed." Manager Xin answered cautiously, "The transition was almost complete before the little one got sick."
"Why did you get sick?"
"More than ten days ago," Manager Xin said tremblingly, "I heard that all sick people would be put in the back room to die, so I ran to this empty stable to hide."
"So..." Xiao Yi confirmed and asked, "Have you been hiding in that stable these days?"
"Yes, yes."
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue exchanged glances, and their voices became more cautious, "Where are you eating and drinking?"
"Horse, there is some mountain spring water prepared for the horses in the stable. When Manager Li was not sick, he would throw in two steamed buns every day. Later, Manager Li also became sick, and no one took care of the little one. At that time, I was very sick and very hungry, so I ate hay."
Is it really hay? !
Xiao Yi still asked calmly: "When did you start eating hay? Apart from hay, what else have you eaten and what have you used?"
"Five, five days ago. I didn't eat anything else..." Manager Xin said with a cry, "Everyone is either sick or dead, and no one can prepare food for the little one anymore."
Nangong Yue and Doctor Wu looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Princess, I'm going to check his pulse."
As Dr. Wu spoke, he stepped forward to diagnose his pulse. After a while, Dr. Wu turned back to Nangong Yue and nodded, saying, "Princess, judging from the pulse, in addition to being weak due to malnutrition, he is also weak. Not infected with the disease."
Nangong Yue was overjoyed. At this moment, she saw hope.
She squeezed the hay in her hand tightly. This seemingly inconspicuous weed may be everyone's hope for survival!
"Mr. Wu, please take these sunflower seeds back to the hunting palace and let other doctors take a look. I remember that there is no mention of using it as medicine in medical books. In any case, you should be cautious. And... "Nangong Yue said to the imperial guards who came with them, "Take this man back to the hunting palace and take care of him."
Nangong Yue clenched her fists tightly, and there was a tremor in her voice, which was caused by excitement, "Ayi, please accompany me to Shenlong Mountain. Let's go find some fresh sunflower seeds and come back. ."
