According to the agreement, on the day the eldest princess and her people arrived at Beiji Temple, Yang Tinghe should arrive with 1,500 soldiers and horses, and then go straight to Qibei with them.
But now they have all stayed in Beiji Temple for three days.
Su Luo was restless for three whole days, and the eldest princess was even more flustered and uncomfortable.
The younger son suffered such an end, but at least he survived. If the elder son had something wrong, how would she survive?
But she didn't dare to appear distracted in front of Su Luo, and she didn't want to appear dejected in front of those followers. She could only force herself to be strong, her face was still calm and calm, and her heart was about to shrink from the torture.
Finally, he couldn't stand it, and fell ill on the evening of the third day.
The disease is severe and the fever does not go away.
When they came out at that time, Doctors Qiao and Zhao followed them secretly. At this time, it was even more clear that the entire team would not return to Beijing again, so these two doctors came openly to treat the eldest princess.
"how?"
In the Zen room of Beiji Temple, Su Luo asked Dr. Qiao uneasily.
Doctor Qiao said with a gloomy expression: "I have accumulated worries and suppressed them forcibly. I am restless but have not vented my worries. I am too ill. In addition, I have injured my roots from a previous meal. I have a weak spleen and yin, and a lack of heart and blood. I'm afraid it will be...
..."
Su Luo's hands were shaking.
She didn't want to hear that fear.
"Is there any cure? How to cure it? As long as it can be cured, just tell me what you need."
Dr. Qiao said: "The best treatment for heart disease is medicine for the heart. Her Royal Highness the Princess may be acting like this because she is too worried about the prince. As long as the prince arrives safely, just take some tranquilizing medicine."
But if the prince delays coming, he may die with red flowers.
Nowadays, there are two types of safflower in medicine halls. One is serious safflower, which is accurately prepared and has strong medicinal properties, but it is hard to find and expensive.
The other kind is an inferior product of safflower, and its processing techniques are poor, and its medicinal effect cannot be praised, but this kind is commonly sold in major medicine halls.
When we came out, we brought ginseng but not enough safflower.
The county where Beiji Temple is located is quite deserted, so it is unlikely to be found there."
It's all the result of the family controlling the price of medicines in the medicine hall. After Xiao Yu overthrew the Zhenninghou Mansion, he improved a lot of medicine halls, but his improvement was minimal, and it had just begun. How could it be compared with that intricate and complicated medicine hall?
.
Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief, her face was solemn and calm. She imitated Xiao Yu's way of handling things on weekdays. Even if she felt guilty, she looked calm on her face.
"Just treat His Highness and save his life. I will provide you with snow lotus!"
Dr. Qiao glanced at Su Luo and said, "Princess, don't be too demanding. If the princess also falls ill..."
What he said was from the bottom of his heart, something he would only say if he truly cared.
Su Luo appreciated it, but said: "I just need to ask the doctor to work harder. We can overcome the past together by working together. Today, my mother is ill. If it were someone else, I would not give up. As long as they come out with us, they will be the same."
We must fight for not one of our own people less."
Su Luo's words warmed people's hearts. Doctor Qiao nodded, "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best."
Doctors Qiao and Zhao were left in the room to help the eldest princess with acupuncture, while Su Luo took Chunxing and Yuzhu out.
"Want red flowers?" Chun Xing volunteered, "I will go to the medicine shop outside to buy them now. In such a large Jieshi County, you can always buy them."
Su Luo nodded, "Take someone with you."
"Yes, I know this. Princess, don't worry."
Chun Xing left, and Su Luo told Yu Zhu, "The prince has not come yet, and Yang Tinghe has not arrived either. There must be an accident in Kyoto. When the person who inquired about the news comes back today, if there is still no news, we will
No more waiting.
Jieshi County is too close to Kyoto and is not the prince's territory. If any accident occurs, we will have no one to take care of it.
You go and make arrangements. We will set off early tomorrow morning and go straight to Qibei. My mother is ill, so her carriage needs to be carefully arranged."
Yuzhu nodded, followed the order and left.
Su Luo thought for a moment, then turned to look for the abbot of Beiji Temple.
Su Luo had just entered the Zen room, and the abbot was about to come out, with a bit of anxiety on his face, "The princess came just in time, I was about to go over."
Su Luo suddenly became worried, "Master, is there something wrong?"
The abbot did not hide the anxious look on his face and said: "Today, I went to the county government office to receive the government subsidy. I heard the county magistrate from the county government office said that the court had issued an arrest notice. The county magistrate did not say much, just because it was early.
I had some opportunities with my old man in the past few years, and I reminded my old man to be more alert tonight and make sure that the monks in the temple do not step out of their rooms.
Princess, I may be overly worried, fearing that this arrest is aimed at you.
Can the county magistrate’s wife come to speak to Her Royal Highness the Princess today?”
Ever since the eldest princess brought Su Luo to Beiji Temple to pray for blessings, the county magistrate held a reception banquet in his courtyard on the first day, entertained them grandly and eagerly, and repeatedly asked them to stay at the county government office.
But the eldest princess refused because she sincerely prayed for blessings.
In the past few days, the county magistrate's wife brought the female family members of the mansion to the temple to pay their respects to the eldest princess.
But he never came today.
Su Luo was so busy that she didn't expect to go there. Now that the abbot mentioned it, she immediately realized something was wrong.
You are always so diligent in coming, but today you are sick but you are not coming?
What’s the point!
Something must have happened that made her feel there was no need to come.
Su calmed down and bowed to the abbot, "Thank you, Master, for your advice."
The abbot performed a Buddhist ritual and said, "Beiji Temple was favored by General Xiao back then. It should be like this. Does the princess have any countermeasures?"
Su Luo said: "Master, do you know how many Yamen servants there are in Jieshi County?"
"According to regulations, there should be a thousand government officials." The master only knew that the eldest princess came with people to pray for blessings and stay overnight, but he did not know that they were going to Qibei, let alone what happened in Kyoto.
The eldest princess fell ill, and Su Luo had no choice but to go to Xiao Yu's entourage to discuss the matter.
After leaving the abbot's place, Su Luo called all Xiao Yu's capable followers.
"If the information the abbot said is true, and the notice received by the county government is related to us, then this arrest must not be captured by the county officials. How many people are there in our side? Even if the county magistrate does not know you, he also knows about those escorts. He
The government officials are unable to compete with the escorts.
He did not come to get the men as soon as he received the news. It is most likely that he did not have enough troops and was waiting for reinforcements.
We now have two directions to choose from.
One, set off immediately and leave here before their reinforcements arrive, but this means that we will be chased, and the city behind will get the news and may also chase and intercept us.
Second, we strike first and take control of the county government before their reinforcements arrive, but the situation in a county is too complicated, and the troops we have may not be enough to control accidents that may break out at any time."
