(Everyone, we urgently need monthly support! Please!)
In early April of the 24th year of Tai'an, Zhao Yanxun and his party finally walked out of Zhenxiguan after a continuous trek.
This means that they walked out of the Central Plains and entered the relatively desolate northwest land.
Perhaps Zhao Yanxun's back was a bit weak. It had been raining outside the customs since the end of March, which seriously slowed down his traveling speed.
The continuous rainy season also caused many people in the team to fall ill, and Lin Jingyu, the royal concubine, was not immune.
Jixiang Inn, the best inn in Changfu Town.
In the guest room, Zhao Yanxun was sitting on the main seat. Although he looked low-key in a brocade robe, it could not stop his aura of wealth.
Xue Baoyun sat aside, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The maid took the teacup carefully.
Looking at the continuous light rain outside the window, Xue Baoyun said helplessly: "Your Majesty... Although I don't have much knowledge, I also know that there is not much rain in the northwest..."
"Now it seems that what others say may not necessarily be true!"
Zhao Yanxun did not express his opinion. At this moment, he was a little anxious and just wanted to go to the fiefdom.
"It's so painful for Sister Lin. She left her hometown and came to the northwest, but she became acclimatized!"
When Xue Baoyun said this, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
"Your Majesty... several imperial doctors are here!" Lin Quan's voice came from outside.
"Let them in!" Zhao Yanxun said.
The door creaked open, and several men in official uniforms walked in. These were all high-ranking imperial doctors.
"Greetings to Your Highness, Your Majesty!"
After signaling to several imperial doctors to excuse themselves, Zhao Yanxun went straight to the point and said, "Tell me, what's going on now?"
The older imperial doctor bowed and spoke slowly: "Your Majesty... the latest situation is that more than fifty people in the team are infected, most of them are old, weak, women and children!"
"Weichen diagnosed that the patients are mostly caused by acclimatization and continuous traveling!"
Zhao Yanxun picked up the tea cup, blew in the hot air and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
This question was meaningful. Zhao Yanxun did not ask about the specific medication, nor did he care about the specific conditions of the patients. Instead, he asked an imperial doctor what to do next.
Although he knew that he should not speak nonsense, as a conscientious imperial physician, Yang Deqiu still replied: "Your Highness, my suggestion is to let the team choose a place to rest for a few days, otherwise I am afraid that more people will fall ill!"
After saying this, Yang Deqiu and the imperial physician behind him all lowered their heads.
They could feel Zhao Yanxun's eagerness to go to the fiefdom, so Yang Deqiu's words at this moment were completely contrary to Zhao Yanxun's thoughts.
Objectively speaking, after traveling for a month continuously, the people below should really take a breather.
Zhao Yanxun understands these truths, but he also understands that time waits for no one. The preparation time after staying here to go to the fiefdom will inevitably be reduced, and it will be more dangerous when the end of the world comes.
The atmosphere in the room became solemn, and several imperial doctors felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty... I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
Xue Baoyun's words broke the solemn atmosphere and made Yang Deqiu and others heave a sigh of relief.
"My beloved, please speak!" Zhao Yanxun's tone was gentle, and he respected Xue Baoyun very much.
"As the saying goes, there is a way to relax and relax. I feel that what the imperial doctors have said makes some sense. It's not a bad idea to stay here for a few days!"
"Being on the road for a month, even my concubines feel miserable in the car, let alone the old, weak, women and children who are accompanying me!"
Xue Baoyun's words greatly increased the favor of several imperial doctors, and Yang Deqiu even cast a grateful look.
With such a reasonable princess, it will be much easier to do business in the future.
At this time, Xue Baojun continued to say: "If His Highness agrees to rest for a few days, everyone below will be grateful for His kindness and will definitely repay His Majesty in the future!"
This last sentence really moved Zhao Yanxun.
Although he has a system, a person's experience is always limited, and he needs the approval of everyone in the palace.
The most important thing is to work together. If you force the way and make the people below complain, it will be troublesome in the future.
If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dirt and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun stood in the position of the master for the first time and re-recognized the relationship between himself and his subordinates.
I saw Zhao Yanxun smiling: "What the princess said makes sense!"
Then Zhao Yanxun ordered: "Lin Quan, go tell the two chief historians that we will rest in Changfu Town for five days!"
"Yes, I will send you the order right away!"
"Wait a minute, let them distribute some food and meat to the entourage according to their accounts, so that everyone can have a good meal!"
Since we want to appease people's hearts, we should just implement it to the end, Zhao Yanxun thought.
"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous!" Lin Quan took advantage of the situation and flattered him.
After Lin Quan left, Zhao Yanxun asked about Lin Jingyu's condition, and the doctors answered truthfully.
The diagnosis was the same as that of the person below. Lin Jingyu also got sick because she was not acclimatized to the environment and was tired from traveling.
Perhaps due to her weak bones since she was a child, Lin Jingyu's illness is more severe than others, and now even standing up has become a problem.
After dismissing the imperial doctor, Zhao Yanxun said to Xue Baoyun beside him: "These people in the imperial hospital are too useless!"
Xue Baoyun smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctors have tried their best. If we continue to rush like this every day, even my concubines will almost be unable to walk for fear!"
After talking to Xue Baoyun for a while, Zhao Yanxun got up and went to Lin Jingyu's room.
Lin Jingyu was in another courtyard, and Zhao Yanxun had to walk through a corridor first.
There were guards on duty along the way, and they all saluted after seeing Zhao Yanxun.
On the top of the outer wall of Lin Jingyu's courtyard, a young man was hibernating on it.
His clothes were all wet, and the rain kept dripping from his forehead, but his eyes were always fixed on the two people who were boiling medicine in the yard.
Only after the two people from Jian Yao left could he sneak into the courtyard and obtain the precious medicinal materials only found in the palace.
As a prince, Zhao Yanxun's whereabouts could easily be inquired about. The young man needed precious medicinal materials, so he naturally had Zhao Yanxun's idea.
This courtyard is where medicinal materials are placed, and the sick Lin Jingyu was also placed here.
The rain continued to fall, and the boy had been standing on the wall for half an hour. At this moment, his hands were numb but he didn't know it.
The next moment, his hand slipped and his whole body tended to fall down, but fortunately he stabilized his body quickly.
But the problem was that when he was stabilizing his body, he accidentally stepped on a piece of tile.
There was only a "pop" sound, the tiles shattered, and the sound was particularly harsh.
"Who is it?" The guard's voice came from under the wall.
"There's someone up there..."
After being discovered, the young man was horrified. If he broke into the "King's Mansion" privately, he would lose his head.
Escape... this word appeared in the young man's mind.
At this moment, a guard was heard shouting: "There is an assassin..."
The guards around the courtyard all heard the warning and gathered towards the young man.
The young man climbed up from the top of the wall and ran across the wall like a tightrope, knocking down many tiles along the way.
The guards were chasing after him under the wall. If they allowed the assassin to sneak in, they were already guilty. If they were allowed to escape again, it would be an added crime.
"A few people are outflanking him, his grandma's... If I, Old Xu, escape from him, how will I be able to hold my head high in the palace in the future!" A man wearing the official uniform of a hundred households said angrily.
There were so many guards and the surrounding area of the courtyard was like an iron barrel, making it impossible for the young man to escape.
If you often walk on the wall, how can you not make a mistake?
The boy jumped in such a hurry that he slipped off the wall and fell into a puddle, causing a splash.
When he looked up, he saw several bright knives lying in front of him.
"Boy, you're tired of living!" The man in official uniform said with a ferocious smile.
