Although the speed has receded a little, the condition is still tepid and has not improved.As long as she thinks of Yan Ming's cold eyes yesterday, Qing Lian's heart palpitates, and a bad feeling permeates her heart.So Qinglian didn't heed Tong Xi's repeated urging to go back to Qingyun Pavilion to rest, but hastily used some pastries and went out.

Qinglian walked for less than half an hour and came to the shop where she bought the required medicinal materials yesterday. She finally squeezed from the patients to the counter and wanted to buy some more for the government. Take it away, and put it under the unified supervision of Charity Hall, a government-run medical center in the capital.Although Qinglian was a little disappointed, she still persevered in running through several pharmacies, and all she got was the same answer, and found that the number of patients who came to each medical center and pharmacy to seek medical treatment seemed to be several percent higher than yesterday.

There were no pedestrians on the street, as if everyone had gone to the hospital, Qinglian Yuexing became more and more flustered, coughing shallowly while covering her sleeves, and hurried towards the Charity Hall.Suddenly a group of horseshoes came from behind while walking, Qinglian hurriedly dodged, but when she raised her eyes and saw Tong Jingyu riding a horse, she desperately called out on the street.Tong Jingyu reined in the horse's head almost at the same moment, feeling suspicious in his heart, and explained a few words to his subordinates, got off the horse and rushed to Qinglian's side, with the same eagerness in his eyes.

183. Disaster (New Chapter V)...

Tong Jingyu threw off the reins and ran to Qinglian's side in a few steps, patted Qinglian's back with her hand, just now Qinglian called out loudly, choked by the cold wind and Qinglian couldn't help coughing and panting.Qinglian, who has hurt her heart, is living an extremely difficult life now.While helping Qinglian calm down, Tong Jingyu blamed her: "Qinglian, when is it, why are you wearing so little? You don't take your body seriously? Also, why did you go out and run around by yourself again? Won't you take someone with you? What if something happens?"

Qinglian supported Tong Jingyu's arm and tried to calm down, ignoring her elder brother's accusation, coughing, grabbed Tong Jingyu's hand, and said anxiously: "Brother Yu, you didn't come back last night, did something happen? How come there are so many patients? Why is the medicine used by my father so in short supply? After all this, the government will buy it all together?" Qinglian told Tong Jingyu all the questions in her heart, begging for an answer urgently, and looked at the medicine with her brows furrowed in silence. Seeing Tong Jingyu, the self-deceiving hope that rose in Qinglian's heart slowly receded, followed by panic: "Brother Yu, is there a disease in the capital now?" Seeing that Tong Jingyu still didn't answer, Qinglian chased after her: "Brother Yu, what are you talking about? It's an epidemic, isn't it? Even my father, so many people get sick, that's why the medicinal materials are in short supply. Why is the government now..."

Qinglian wanted to continue, but Tong Jingyu covered her mouth with her hands, blocking her next words, and then looked around vigilantly, only to be relieved when she saw that there were no passers-by.Tong Jingyu did not expect that Qinglian would guess so far, and the current situation in the capital is even more terrifying than the rain and flood the day before yesterday. After all, under the all-out rescue of the court at that time, no common people died, but now...

Seeing that Qinglian was silent, Tong Jingyu put down the hand covering Qinglian's mouth. Because of the urgency just now, Tong Jingyu's hands were pressed very tightly, and now the palms are wet and greasy when they let go.Tong Jingyu was a little embarrassed to see that Qinglian was panting slightly because of suffocation, but when she opened her palm, she found bloody body fluid.Tong Jingyu was startled, and no longer softened her heart. Qinglian is still ill, how can she let her temper go wild, and she should be sent back to the mansion as soon as possible.

So next, Tong Jingyu's tone was tough, and he grabbed Qinglian's hand and wanted to help him onto the horse, preparing to escort him back to the house in person. Qinglian's old shoulder and arm injuries did not dare to use force after all, and the two insisted for a while, but Qinglian also knew that the hidden story here was of great importance, so she didn't yell anymore.There was a stalemate for a while, and Qinglian was stubborn, and once she decided on something, she would not change it, so Qinglian, who couldn't break free, said angrily in a low voice: "Brother Yu, if you let me go, it's a disease at all, so You are the one who is so nervous, so you don’t need to hide it from me anymore. And the reason why the government controls the medicinal materials, is it because there is a shortage of medicines in the palace? Jiarui actually abandoned the whole city and ignored them just to save his own life! Faint king!”

"Shut up!" Tong Jingyu yelled angrily in a low voice, but Qinglian was suppressed by her brother's anger and stopped talking, just panting for her own breath.Tong Jingyu also knew that the tone was serious just now, so he stretched out his arms and patted Qinglian's back lightly, but how could Qinglian say that about Jiarui.Tong Jingyu has always been a person who distinguishes between public and private. Jiarui's hatred for Qinglian has never diminished. Tong Jingyu has never lessened, but this is the same person who once knelt down and accepted his pledge of loyalty with the sword.If Jiarui is a foolish emperor, Tong Jingyu will not admit it. After entering the palace, what Tong Jingyu saw and heard, Jiarui really puts all his heart on the common people, but the heavens do not help.

"Qinglian, don't make trouble anymore. I won't hide it from you anymore. It is the epidemic disease that is prevalent in the capital. Come, I will take you back to your residence." Jiarui took Qinglian's hand, "The emperor has ordered the city to be closed today. , if this continues, the capital will be in chaos in a few days, so remember not to go out of the house casually, okay? Qinglian, someone in the palace is sick, but there are no medicinal materials in the Tai Hospital, how could it be? Going to grab the people's life-saving medicine? So you are being overwhelmed, and the situation is not as bad as you think." Tong Jingyu explained softly, but Qinglian still stared at herself persistently, as if she was not satisfied with the answer.Because Qinglian believes that the current precarious situation in the capital is far more than Tong Jingyu's understatement, and the safety of the capital is related to whether she can leave this land with peace of mind.

Seeing that Qinglian still insisted, Tong Jingyu knew that she couldn't beat Qinglian, so she could only continue to say: "Don't worry, the medicines needed are under control, but I didn't expect that there would be looting in the capital later, so that the government can uniformly dispatch and distribute them. Remember, don't I went out, and news came that several yizhuang in the capital sent people who died of the epidemic for several days in a row. Before the city was closed for a long time due to floods, there must be a major epidemic after a major disaster. This is also common, but now the specific What kind of disease has not been found out, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, we have to continue to seal the city, but the capital may be in chaos. If there is a conflict at that time, how can you survive alone?"

As Tong Jingyu said, Qinglian slowly lowered her head, chewing on Tong Jingyu's words, but Tong Jingyu still spoke lightly about the real situation.After the closure of the city in the past few months, the grain storage in central Beijing was almost exhausted. After finally waiting for the rain to stop, the flood outside the city gradually receded, and now the sudden outbreak of disease caught people off guard.Although the weather is getting colder now and the disease will not spread rapidly, but in just a few days, over a hundred people in the capital have died due to the disease, and now the situation is too great to leave the city for burial, and there is not much lime left in the capital. If this continues, I'm afraid...

Now Tong Jingyu doesn't dare to think about it, for fear that if she thinks about it, she will not have the courage to continue to bear it. Empress Dowager Huimin may not be able to last for a few days, and Empress Xiaochun cannot have a smooth pregnancy. She is often popular and has not yet landed The eldest son of the emperor is as dying as his mother and the country.What's more important than this is that Jia Rui is also sick now. Although he supports his body to deal with some state affairs every day during his lethargic sleep, the current situation cannot be changed by manpower, so he has to do his best and obey the destiny.

Tong Jingyu and Qinglian rode together, and soon returned to Tong's Mansion, and they went to visit their father together.Tong Yi was leaning halfway on the bed screen, his face was pale and thin, his cheekbones were a bit abrupt, and he looked lifeless.After a whole day of lethargy, Tong Yi happened to be awake at the moment. After Tong Jingyu greeted his father, he succinctly reported the current situation in the city and court to Tong Yi, and asked what his father meant.Because Qinglian had already guessed, Tong Jingyu no longer avoided Qinglian, and let Qinglian stand aside silently.The father and son pondered for a long time and Tong Yi finally made a decision, asking Tong Jingyu to firmly control the patrol camp and strengthen the guards. Rice, food and medicine should first satisfy the guards and their families of the patrol camp as much as possible.Under such circumstances, when there is a riot among the people in the capital, at least the guards of the patrol battalion can maintain it, and there will be no chaos.Tong Yi ordered Tong Jingyu to prepare all the necessary items in the mansion for half a month as much as possible within two days, and then sealed the door, just in case.Unknown diseases usually cause panic, not to mention the situation of being trapped in a dead city and lacking medical care.The epidemic came in a strange way, and Tong Yi was worried that the rumors about evildoers would spread again, and Tong's Mansion might become the target of public criticism, so he had to guard against it.What Tong Yi said made Tong Jingyu very educated, and he had to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. After Tong Yi said something, he became mentally troubled. Tong Jingyu and Qinglian resigned to let their father rest and recuperate.Tong Jingyu finally asked Qinglian to leave in a hurry. Now that the situation is critical, Tong Jingyu only hated herself for being incapable of keeping separate parts.After Tong Jingyu left, Qinglian quietly went out from the side door, surprised in her heart. He wanted to see many things with his own eyes, because those were all sins born of himself.

184. Face to Face (Newly Added Chapter V)...

Regardless of Tong Jingyu's repeated entrustment, Qinglian sneaked out of Tong's mansion. What she learned today was too shocking. Epidemic, city closure, death?How could it be, obviously the rain has stopped, isn't the disaster over, everything should gradually get better, but how did things develop to this point.Qinglian couldn't figure it out, so he had to see with his own eyes what kind of world it was outside now!

Qinglian was walking on the desolate street, and there was no one around.
