This urgent report came at the right time. It woke Rong Ling up from this sweet dream on New Year's Eve and reminded her of her original plan.
Su Xuxu picked up the urgent report and read it carefully, the warmth on his face when he spoke to Rong Ling faded away a little bit, and ordered to the guards with a solemn expression: "Pass down the oral order of the palace, and call the ministers and the judges of the imperial hospital to come to the imperial court. The study is on standby."
After finishing speaking, she turned her head to Rong Ling and said, "I still have something to do..."
"The Queen Mother can go at ease." Rong Lingbo said calmly.
She reacted flatly, as if she had expected everything. Su Xuxu had a faint feeling in his heart, but because of the urgency of time, there was no time to think about it, so he had to take a step first.
It snowed in the imperial city at some point, and after Su Xuxu left, Rong Ling tightened the fox fur on his body, and went back to Weiyang Palace.
The little emperor, who couldn't sit still at the dinner party, was in the bedroom at the moment, and her sister wormwood was pestering her to teach her to distinguish herbs.
Seeing Rong Ling enter the room, the little prince ran over again: "Mother..."
Xiaotuanzi, who was carved in powder and jade, looked up eagerly. Rong Ling couldn't help raising the corners of her lips, and reached out to caress her head: "Hmm..."
The little emperor couldn't help touching the place on his head where he had been brushed just now.
Is it her illusion? Today's queen mother seems to be extraordinarily gentle.
Rong Ling looked at Ai Cao again, and before she knew it, she had grown into a big girl, and said to her, "Master..."
Rong Ling nodded in response: "Can you have dinner?"
"After returning to my mother, I ate a lot." The little emperor rushed to answer, tilting his head and counting, "There are dumplings, red bean roast, osmanthus cake, glutinous rice balls..."
"Miss, don't worry..." The maid next to her was afraid that Rong Ling would blame her for not taking good care of her Majesty, "Your Majesty just tasted these things and didn't eat much."
The little emperor asked Rong Ling again: "Has the queen mother had dinner?"
It was only then that Rong Ling realized that he hadn't eaten yet, and the palace servants hurriedly served soup and vegetables on the table.
At night, the two children were already sleepy after playing for a while, and they were taken away by the palace servants to rest before Rong Ling finished his meal.
Seeing that it was almost time for Yinshi, Rong Ling still hadn't waited for Su Xuxu to come back.
She originally planned to sleep, but after thinking about it, she sent the palace servants beside her to the imperial study to inquire.
Unexpectedly, the palace servant came back and said: "Girl, I heard from the people in the imperial study that the Empress Dowager left the palace with the ministers when she was a child, and specially left an order to tell the servants to take good care of you."
Rong Ling, who was still leaning on the couch and reading the script, paused: "She's gone?"
Although Su Xuxu had already expected that she would definitely go to Yongcheng where the plague occurred, Rong Ling did not expect that she would leave so quietly.
She hurriedly put down the book in her hand, got up, put on her shoes and walked out the door.
"Girl..." The maid was puzzled and immediately wanted to stop her.
Rong Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he knocked her unconscious with a burst of spiritual power, and walked out the door by himself.
It was still snowing outside, Rong Ling tightened the cloak on his body, jumped up the palace wall again stealthily, and chased in the direction the chariots and horses left.
After discussing the countermeasures with the ministers and the arrangement of his absence from the court, Su Xuxu was flipping through the historical records in the carriage to deal with the plague, when the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What happened?" she asked the coachman outside.
"Go back... If you go back to the Queen Mother, someone will stop the carriage." The coachman looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost, and said tremblingly.
Su Xuxu frowned slightly, and was about to lift the curtain to go out to check, but the other party had already stepped forward.
"I'll go with you." Rong Ling's voice sounded from outside.
"Nonsense!" Su Xuxu ignored her secret joy when she heard the voice, and hurriedly lifted the curtain.
In the snow and ice, the person standing in front of the car was Rong Ling.
Without hesitation, she stepped forward and stepped into the carriage.
Rong Ling chased him in a hurry, the tip of his nose was reddened by the cold wind, and he looked very pitiful under the lamp hanging on the carriage.
Su Xuxu's warm five fingers grabbed her and led her into the warm compartment.
She couldn't believe it, but said helplessly: "I have important matters in my palace, so you can just stay in the palace."
Having said that, she didn't want to let go of the ten fingers that wrapped Rong Ling's hands, trying to cover her hands to warm them up.
"Don't worry, I won't be your trouble." Rong Ling said, "The queen mother must never forget that I am a monster and will not be infected by the plague."
She said it firmly, but Su Xuxu was still worried: "Even so..."
"If you don't let me go, I will sneak away after you leave the palace." Rong Ling interrupted, "I will never come back after I leave."
As soon as these words came out, Su Xuxu's face darkened instantly: "How dare you!"
She spoke harshly, but she knew that Rong Ling was definitely not joking.
At this moment, the carriage behind gradually caught up, Su Xuxu did not hesitate, and ordered the groom to continue driving.
Rong Ling went to Yongcheng together with Su Xuxu as a matter of course.
Even if it is a fast horse, without stopping along the way, it will take more than ten days to travel from the capital to Yongcheng in the north, and the further north you go, the colder the weather, Rong Lingwo is bored in the carriage, not wanting to do anything.
Su Xuxu came back from discussing with the minister in another carriage for a long time, and when she opened the curtain, she saw her sleeping in the carriage drowsily.
The carriage has been traveling day and night for five or six days, traveling long distances, Su Xuxu somehow felt that Rong Ling's cheeks were getting thinner.
But even so, she is still very good-looking, the only bright spot in this boring journey.
Su Xuxu couldn't help stepping forward, and rubbed the tip of her nose affectionately on Rong Ling's cheek.
She just came in from the outside, and she was still a little cold, Rong Ling was woken up: "Why... um..."
Su Xuxu lowered her eyes and kissed her lips accurately.
Rong Ling was too lazy to refuse, so he took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around her neck.
The carriage is still moving, but the temperature inside the carriage has increased a lot.
Su Xuxu didn't seem to intend to do anything else, but kissed Rong Ling lightly and casually.
Rong Ling seemed to let her tease him lazily, but his eyes were clear.
Su Xuxu would not know that at this moment, Rong Ling sent Baiyelian to her again.
Bai Yelian will protect Su Xuxu from being infected by the plague.
At the same time, Rong Ling lost his protection.
Knowing that this was just an illusion, if Su Xuxu really died of illness, he could get the Baiyelian faster.
But Rong Ling subconsciously didn't want to see such a scene.
When did she become so kind?
Rong Ling couldn't help thinking.
Su Xuxu didn't know what Rong Ling had done, but felt that with her company on this long journey, even if the road ahead was dangerous, it was still worth it.
Five days later, the group finally arrived at the location of Yongcheng.
It was clearly daytime, but the doors of every household in the area were closed, and no one was seen from the city gate to the county government.
Even the gates of the county government offices are closed tightly, withered everywhere, even more bleak in the cold wind.
Until Su Xuxu's people came forward to knock on the door, after a while, the county magistrate and aides rushed out to greet her and knelt down on the ground: "See the Queen Mother..."
After Su Xuxu inquired, she found out that the people in the city were afraid of being infected, and no one dared to go out.
"Where are the people who are sick so far arranged?" she asked.
"If you go back to the Queen Mother, they will all be in Majia Village."
Without hesitation, Su Xuxu ordered the county magistrate to lead the way, asking about the local situation along the way.
It turned out that the plague began to spread from Majia Village, and gradually spread to several nearby villages. The county magistrate had no choice but to order the officers and soldiers to hold these villages and not enter or leave.
As for the sick people, they were all arranged in the Six Ailments Hall, where they were consulted by doctors.
Before entering Majia Village, the group covered their mouths and noses with white gauze to prevent them from contracting the same disease.
Soon, a group of people suddenly appeared in the village caused commotion among the patients.
Most of these people were haggard due to illness, and they looked like they hadn't cleaned up for a long time. They leaned weakly on the hospital bed, and when they saw someone coming, they began to whisper.
When the county magistrate explained that the person who came was the current Empress Dowager, they became even more excited and looked at Su Xuxu in disbelief.
However, beyond everyone's expectation, someone shouted in the crowd: "It is this woman who is in charge of the political affairs of the court and turned the world upside down. God will blame us and bring disasters."
At the beginning of this sound, someone hurriedly echoed: "You are right, this plague is so rare, it must be God's punishment."
People were terrified, and they couldn't stand being provoked at all, but now they were booing, and Su Xuxu became the target of everyone's criticism.
The county magistrate was immediately dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Everyone listen to me..."
However, to no avail, at first the voices of whispering became louder and louder, and the sick people surrounded the group.
In their view, their lives are almost gone, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Su Xuxu watched everything that happened with cold eyes, but didn't make a sound.
Someone picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in her direction.
Rong Ling immediately grabbed Su Xuxu and pulled her over: "Be careful!"
Coincidentally, a small stone hit the back of Rong Ling's hand.
At this moment, Su Xuxu's expression turned cold, and he looked at the person who threw the stone: "If you really think so, why don't you burn this palace to ashes and sacrifice to the heavens, and see if God will show mercy and let you Get well."
Her voice was not loud, but she carried a bone-chilling chill, as if she wanted to pierce into the cracks in everyone's bones and tell them to be quiet.
Su Xuxu continued: "I brought troops here to treat you. If any of you feel that your life is not important, you can continue to make trouble."
After she finished speaking, the scene finally quieted down.
Su Xuxu motioned for the imperial physician to come forward for consultation.
The county magistrate next to him hurriedly smiled and said: "Since the queen mother has already seen it, it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so let me go out first and find a place to rest for a while."
Su Xuxu didn't object, and left after looking around the Six Diseases Hall.
Upon returning to the mansion arranged by the county magistrate, Su Xuxu took Rong Ling's hand, and saw a red scar on the back of her fair hand, which was hit by the stone just now.
Su Xuxu immediately ordered his servants to bring ointment, and carefully applied it on Rong Ling.
She looked serious, Rong Ling didn't take it seriously at first, but had to cooperate with Su Xuxu in raising her hand.
After applying the ointment for her solemnly, Su Xuxu said, "Even if Ah Ling doesn't make a move, no one will hurt me."
"Really?" Rong Ling murmured, and he couldn't understand why he would subconsciously take her crotch down.
"However..." Su Xuxu raised her lips, "A Ling is so caring all of a sudden, I wish that time could stop at this moment."
Su Xuxu picked up the urgent report and read it carefully, the warmth on his face when he spoke to Rong Ling faded away a little bit, and ordered to the guards with a solemn expression: "Pass down the oral order of the palace, and call the ministers and the judges of the imperial hospital to come to the imperial court. The study is on standby."
