Ruthless Sword Master Pretty Snake Demon

On the Golden Palace.

Emperor Yuan Shuo leaned on the throne, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows that kept beating, and waved his hand to the eunuch next to him after a while.

The eunuch Fuquan got the signal, stepped forward, and swung the whisk in his right hand onto the crook of his left arm.

He raised his chin and called out in a drawn-out tone, "Back toward—"

"Congratulations to the Emperor—"

The civil and military officials adjusted their clothes and were about to kneel down to salute, when they suddenly heard the sound of trotting behind them, and when they looked back, they were the imperial guards standing outside.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!" The imperial guard knelt down in the hall with a heavy expression.

"Oh?" Emperor Yuan Shuo sat upright, his handsome face showed some traces of time with a smile, "present it."

Fu Quan wanted to go down the high platform to get the urgent report, but saw the imperial guard shook his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, the urgent report has not been sent to the palace, it has only been converted into a message."

"Let's hear it." Emperor Yuan Shuo was curious.

The same is true for all the civil and military officials, and they cast their eyes on the imperial guards one after another.

"His Royal Highness ordered someone to send an urgent report, saying that there is a plague in Jiangning Mansion, and it is spreading rapidly, and the number of people infected with the disease is unknown. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to be merciful and send the imperial doctor to Jiangning Mansion to treat the people as soon as possible." Imperial Guard Said, "The post station is afraid that the urgent report from Jiangning Mansion will be infected with the disease, so they dare not send it, so they order people to pass it on by word of mouth."

"Plague?" Emperor Yuanshuo stood up abruptly, tightly grasping the armrest of the throne with one hand, and asked anxiously, "Is the crown prince all right?"

"It was not stated in the emergency report." The imperial guard replied.

"His Royal Highness, the crown prince, is a lucky person. I think he should be fine before the urgent report is delivered. Otherwise, the urgent report will be sent in the name of Li Shangshu." Prime Minister You stroked his gray beard and said, "At the moment, please Your Majesty has made a decision on the Jiangning Mansion epidemic."

"What Aiqing said is reasonable." Emperor Yuan Shuo relaxed his mind, sat back, and instantly regained his composure, and no longer talked about the prince, "Jiangning Mansion was hit by an epidemic and the situation is critical. Do you, Aiqing, have any advice?"

The ministers looked at each other, but no one answered for a while.

"Since ancient times, the epidemic has caused countless deaths and injuries. I believe that the top priority should be to prevent the epidemic from spreading to other state capitals." The middle-aged Prime Minister Zuo stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please order that until the end of the epidemic, it is strictly forbidden to The people in Jiangning Mansion went out. At the same time, for the peace of mind of the people, we sent doctors and medicines to Jiangning Mansion to try our best to treat the people.”

"According to Prime Minister Zuo's words." Emperor Yuan Shuo looked down at the courtiers, "Ai Qing, is there anyone who is willing to lead the team?"

"My son is willing to go." Third Prince Ao Ji said loudly, "Eldest brother is in a dangerous situation, how can my younger brother enjoy peace in the capital? My son is willing to go to Jiangning Mansion to sit in town in exchange for eldest brother returning to Beijing. "

The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how the third prince would act like this.After all, the grievances between him and the prince are well known, so that his behavior at this moment makes the courtiers seem to have seen the sun rise in the west and the water flow to high places. It is really a wonder in the world.

Emperor Yuan Shuo was taken aback, looked at Ao Ji's immature eyes, worried, and said softly, "There is a disease there, if you have a mistake, Ji'er, what will I do with your mother and concubine?"

"It is precisely because of the danger there that I have to go. Eldest brother is the crown prince. If you don't catch the disease in Jiangning Mansion, it will affect the stability of the society." Ao Ji was born handsome, and his expression is sincere. A good brother who is worried about his elder brother's safety, but the malice hidden deep in his eyes makes people know that his actions are not kind.

After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and said earnestly, "I beg for your permission! If your father doesn't grant your permission, I will not be able to kneel forever."

"Your Highness, you have a noble status, how can you go to a dangerous situation in person, why don't you go with someone else?" The courtiers of Liu's faction wanted to persuade.

Ao Ji still kept his kneeling posture, turned his head and glanced at the man, "Brother is more noble, isn't he also in Jiangning mansion? How can I not go?"

Emperor Yuan Shuo's gentle eyes fell on the top of Ao Ji's hair through the bead hanging on his forehead, and after a long time, he sighed, "I agree."

"Thank you, Father!"

You Aoye was five years old, and Ao Ji, who was fifteen years old at the time, stood up with a smug smile, and the undisguised malice in his eyes made the emperor on the high platform see clearly.

"Ji'er, remember to take care of your health during this trip. Your mother and concubine and I will wait for your safe return in the palace." Emperor Yuan Shuo lowered his eyes, his expression was always loving.

However, Ao Ji took the imperial doctor and medicinal materials to Jiangning Mansion on the way, but it was full of disasters.

When encountering a mountain, some desperate bandits jumped out to block the road and robbed them, which did not seriously hurt several imperial doctors.In case of water, the boat breaks, and most of the medicinal materials are soaked by water so that the efficacy of the medicine is greatly reduced.Even when walking on a flat road, some horses eat poisonous weeds and die.

Originally a journey of at most ten days, they had to travel for more than a month to arrive.

When the time comes, the disease will be cured.

The territory under the jurisdiction of the Jiangning Mansion gradually recovered its vitality. Who would have thought that the haze of the flood had not completely dissipated, and the shadow of the epidemic shrouded the heads of everyone again.

As the epidemic spread, people fell one after another. No matter how much gold and silver accumulated outside the government office, it could not appease the panic in the hearts of the people.

"The epidemic is getting worse, you stay in the room peacefully, don't go anywhere." Ao Ye sent She Yanbai back to the room, and ordered Aning, who also came from Xingzhou but was healthy, to accompany him.

She Yanbai stretched out her hand, grabbed Ao Ye's sleeve, and said with a frown, "You are only a mortal child, how can you fight against the epidemic? There are doctors to treat the common people, so what if you go?"

"Yanbai, I'll be back soon." Ao Ye gently brushed his hand away and comforted him.

After that, he left without looking back.

"Brother Yanbai." Seeing his ugly face, Aning cautiously persuaded, "His Highness didn't let you follow because he was afraid that you would catch the disease. When the situation improves, maybe he will let you go out."

In just a few days, Ah Ning has learned how much She Yanbai likes to cling to Ao Ye.

She Yanbai watched Ao Ye's disappearing figure through the slightly open window, and said softly, "Hey, I'll have to save him in the end."

"Huh?" Ah Ning didn't understand, but when she lowered her head, she saw a dark green bracelet suddenly appearing on She Yanbai's left wrist. She couldn't help wondering if there was a mistake in her memory, she didn't have it just now...

"It's nothing." She Yanbai walked away from the window, her sleeves hanging down covered the glittering golden bracelet on her wrist.

Aning rubbed his head, feeling more and more confused.

In just six or seven days, most of the people in Fucheng fell ill. The infected person first felt feverish all over, and then fell into a coma, and his body quickly weakened.

Some people with poor physique will die in a coma within two or three days, which makes everyone even more terrified.

After discussing with the imperial doctor who accompanied him before, Old Jiangtou decided to separate the infected from the uninfected, and then try to find a way to treat them.

But the sick people who were gathered in one place by the officers and soldiers panicked, thinking that they should wait to die.Even those who are not infected are reluctant to leave their sick relatives.

For a while, the officers, soldiers and doctors became more terrifying than the epidemic in the eyes of the common people.

"Let me out! I don't want to die!"

"Please, let me go in, my child is inside..."

"You want us to die, don't you? You are all executioners!"

In front of the angry and panicked people, the doctors' explanations were pale and weak, and even stimulated them to try to break through the obstruction of the officers and soldiers.

Until a black tall and straight figure came from a distance, walking calmly and with a firm expression.

Ao Ye drew out the Shuanghua Sword, and under the sunlight, the silver-gray blade shone with light.

The people were stunned by his aura, and the noise of their quarrel gradually became smaller under his calm gaze.

"Gu Nai Dong Qin Crown Prince." Ao Ye plunged Shuanghua Sword into the ground, held the hilt with both hands, and said solemnly, "Gu will be with you."

After all, before everyone could understand the meaning of his words, Ao Ye took out the Shuanghua Sword and put it back into its sheath, and walked step by step into the place designated as an isolated area by the doctors. Unfortunately, it was Liu Henian Former mansion.

"Your Highness! You can't go there."

"Your Highness, leave quickly, this is not the place for you to stay."

Everyone came back to their senses, regardless of the confrontation with each other just now, they all tried to dissuade Ao Ye from changing his mind at this moment.

It's just that those who were infected didn't dare to push him away, and those who weren't infected didn't dare to pull him out. Instead, Ao Ye really walked into the crowd of infected people.

"Gu has already entered." Ao Ye said, "No one can guarantee that Gu is not infected with the disease at this moment. If Gu goes out, it will endanger healthy people. Then Gu is a sinner, and the crime is heinous!"

There was no fear in his eyes, as if he was in a resplendent palace, not a dilapidated place that hadn't been repaired.

"At the moment of the epidemic, the only ones who can save the orphans and you are the doctors. I hope you can give them the minimum trust and respect." Ao Ye pointed to the old Jiangtou and several imperial doctors with white silk mixed between their temples. .

Everyone lowered their heads and fell silent. Those who were infected entered Liu Henian's mansion, and those who were not infected left one after another after bowing to the doctors.

Ao Ye was in good health, but he was among a group of patients, and within a few days, he developed mild symptoms.

However, when his condition worsened, he, a mortal, could only lie dying, waiting for the doctors to develop a cure for the disease, or close his eyes one day like a gradually weakening patient.

In a daze, Ao Ye saw a familiar red shadow, which once appeared in his dream and then disappeared in a flash.

He stretched out his hand to try to grab it, but was twitched gently by a piece of scaled cold thing, and then the thing touched his hot cheek and gently rubbed it.

"Who... are you?" Ao Ye's voice was hoarse, and he struggled to open his cloudy eyes, trying to see clearly the person in his dream that had troubled him for a long time.

The red shadow didn't answer, but took out something cold that could relieve the burning in his body, turned and left mercilessly.

Before losing consciousness, Ao Ye vaguely heard an angry voice——

"idiot."
