Pharmaceutical Hall
In November of the fifth year of the emperor, a vision fell from the sky, and the disaster star in the country was born, which was the only one to rise. God has mercy, there is Qingning Hall, the medicine makes people live, and the disaster of the Dragon Kingdom is suddenly solved.
The cold wind sweeping the north and south has shrouded the whole world in the severe cold, and the people walking on the streets are becoming more and more rare. But Kyoto is different. It is in the middle of the north and south. The climate is neither mild nor the coldest. In addition, it is one of the most prosperous cities in the Dragon Country. It has never seen a depression and is as prosperous as usual.
Blow it finely and drilled into my neck, which made me feel so touching that I couldn't help hitting a cicada.
Shenghe Street is as usual. People come and go, but no one notices that there is something different today. With the sound of firecrackers, people's eyes were attracted to it, and they all walked to the place where more and more people gathered with a lively mentality. Because Shenghe Street is close to the palace, there are more guards here. The people living in this area are people with face, but the storefront in front of them is relatively special, which is a pharmacy. Other good things are good. When the people who watch the bustle know that this is a pharmacy, there are already many people who have the intention to see the bustle and leave. After all, the pharmacy is one of the unlucky places in the eyes of ordinary people. It is not as popular as the coffin shop. Fortunately, people can't control what is sick, and it is better than the coffin shop. Leave all.
Xi Yan looked at the playful child in front of him and looked at a string of firecrackers that had not yet been lit. He couldn't help laughing at them and gave them some small firecrackers. The firecrackers are still rare in this world, mainly because of the materials and the danger. The court once strictly banned them for a period of time.
The child looked at the annoying firecracker and was afraid to take it. Finally, he took it over. After all, it was a child, a playful age.
The signboard has not been hung up, because they need to wait for Yue Siyi to come to hang the signboard. After all, this store belongs to her.
After waiting for a while, Yue Siyi came late. When Xi Yan saw her, the stiff expression on his face relaxed and walked to her with a laugh.
Seeing the pharmacy shopkeeper walking towards a carriage, he couldn't help but bring all the people to Yue Siyi. The people who saw her couldn't help but be slightly shocked and were confused by her beauty for a while. Yue Siyi followed Xi Yan to the store. When he passed the crowd, the onlookers couldn't help automatically giving up a path to pass her.
"Miss, there are not many people coming today. The people who enjoy the face are all acquaintances." If it weren't for an acquaintance, who would come to a pharmacy? It was a very unlucky place. How could Yue Siyi not understand, but she believed that in a few days, she might not be able to come in if she wanted to come in.
Plague is a terrible virus, like a spark that can ignite the prai, with infinite power. How can it not be frightening?
Yue Siyi is not a good person, but he is not a bad person. Although he opens a pharmacy for money, as long as he really has medical skills, he can save people.
Seeing her own achievements in front of her, Yue Siyi couldn't help laughing. Today's opening will mark the official start of her plan.
The pharmacy is very large. When Yue Siyi walked in, he was shocked and quickly asked Xi Yan, "How do you find such a house in such a short time?" She was full of curiosity. In such a big single courtyard, his former director was not rich or noble, but he was willing to sell the house, but he was still able to do it first.
"It's all about acquaintances. I saved the life of a former homeowner before. He heard that I was going to buy a big yard to open a pharmacy, and it happened that he was going back to his hometown to spend his old age, so he would repay me with half buying and half free. Xi Yan smiled and invited. He couldn't take his eyes off Yue Siyi, and then looked at her slightly bulging stomach, and raised his eyebrows unconsciously. Seeing him like this, Yue Siyi seemed to understand something in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to put down this strange thought and look around first.
The front part is a place for consultation, medicine, and rest for several patients.
And the backyard is the place where the clerk lives, which is more spacious than the front yard.
Yue Siyi looked at all this with a smile on his face, and kept looking back at Xi Yan and asking him, "How is the collection of medicinal herbs going?"
Xi Yan has been leading the way in front of him. He didn't see what kind of expression Yue Siyi was in the back. Until her question came, he looked at her through his head and replied seriously, "Everything is very successful. There are no obstacles. There are several small cities in the south that are having a plague. There are many people who have died. It must be a disease in Kyoto. It came from those places. After saying that, Xi Yan looked at Yue Siyi and stopped talking. Yue Siyi frowned, his eyes were cold, and he asked, "How are the people in those places?"
"It's almost dead." The cold voice of smoking came out, which shocked Yue Siyi. He was a little strange today, different from usual, but he didn't have time to think too much. He quickly asked, "Why haven't we heard any news, Your Majesty..."
"Local officials dare not sue the emperor for this matter at all." Xi Yan suddenly interrupted her, and her tone was even colder, which was completely different from the performance when she entered the pharmacy just now, which was really confusing.
Yue Siyi no longer asked questions. He felt that his smoking heart was trembling, as if something sad was happening to him, but she could not ask him. Only when he said it himself would not hurt him.
Perhaps he felt the psychological depression of the young lady he had always admired. Xi Yan said, "All the people in my hometown are dead and died under the plague."
So that's it. No wonder he suddenly behaved strangely, and he is not blamed. Yue Siyi was sad to rush to the industry in her heart. Xi Yan wanted to be like her little brother, which made her like and love her. Yue Siyi took Xi Yan's hand, but he couldn't say anything. Xi Yan reluctantly smiled and said to him, "Miss, you don't have Western medicine to make the empire difficult for me. Their death is a matter of sooner or later, just sooner or later. I won't be able to do it after a while. After all, I still have young ladies and sisters. Besides, the writer from Western Europe is not very good to me. If it's not... Miss, let's go to the backyard. Yue Si recalled that he had begun to adjust his mood, so he was relieved that he was a member of the projecting sand, and he had already understood that death was possible at any time. How he had been worried about the sudden departure of his relatives was not a qualified killer, so he was not qualified to continue to accompany him. Yi Ziluo is by his side, and he understands all about it.
Looking at the house in front of him, he had nothing to say. Although he was used to all kinds of beautiful houses made of reinforced concrete, he had never seen a house made of such exquisite huge trees in front of him, and even the two-rise buildings could not be compared with beautiful houses. . Yue Siyi inquired with Xi Yan before he knew that the former owner of the house was an official who sued his hometown. Even the government office of an official is so exquisite. If she has a chance, she must go to the palace to see it. Presumably, those temples can speak the same thing.
After returning from Qingning Hall, Yue Siyi went straight to the residence of the eldest son of the brothel.
Yan really guarded the marquis outside the yard. When she saw Yue Siyi coming, she thought that they would quickly turn around and return to the yard, but she was pulled by her, and she could sneak in by herself. But Yan Zhen's small body was not moving peacefully. She wanted to break free from her hand holding her sleeves, and the expression on her face was very strange, as if there was a hidden secret immediately.
Yue Siyi smiled at her and said, "What's wrong with you today?" As usual, when Yan Zhen saw Yue Siyi coming to the eldest son's room, she always smiled at the cotton team and wanted her to be around the eldest son all the time. However, now, Yan Zhen's abnormal performance made her feel uneasy. Is there anything wrong with the eldest son? Thinking of this, Yue Siyi also got up early and didn't care about Yan Zhen. He quickly walked to the eldest son's room. Before entering the door, she asked for a strong smell of medicinal juice, which was strong and pungent. Suddenly, a panic rose in her heart, mixed with fear.
He pushed the door open, and the people inside were stunned. When they saw that it was her, they came back to their mind and continued to do what they should do. Only a little girl with a black cloth scarf on her face came to her side and shouted, "Miss, you go out first." Without saying more, I came to push her out.
Yue Siyi was worried about his body and did not struggle with the girl, so he honestly withdrew from the door.
The little girl also retreated and closed the door tightly. Then she turned around and said to Yue Siyi, "The young master has a plague. The young lady can't get close to the young master. It will infect you."
Plague, when he heard the name, Yue Siyi's heart couldn't help tightening. She is no stranger to the plague, but very familiar with it, because the pharmacy he opened is to deal with the plague. It's just that she didn't expect that the eldest son would get the plague at this time.
"Is there a doctor to watch? What did the doctor say?" Thinking of the horror of the plague, the expression on Yue Siyi's face showed panic. She didn't care about the life and death of others, but the people around Mrs. Knowledge were different, especially the eldest son.
He had seen the girl a few times, but he didn't take it to it. He only knew that she was one of the several maids who served the eldest son, called Linger.
Linger couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Yue Siyi's ferocious expression. She stammed and said, "The doctor came to talk about it all the time. There is no big problem. It's just because there are no medicinal herbs to treat the plague in the world now. If... If you don't catch all the medicinal herbs in the prescription, I'm afraid... I'm afraid of the great Duke. Zi's ice will get worse and worse... and even die." The little girl cried as she spoke, perhaps because she was serving the eldest son and was infected with the virus. Hearing this, Yue Siyi was relieved. The eldest son's plague was not serious. His son had nothing else, but it was just that there were a lot of medicinal herbs, so she was relieved. What she didn't understand was how the eldest son suddenly got the plague.
"Linger, the eldest son stays in the yard every day. How can he get the plague?" In less than three days, such a thing happened, which almost made her unable to respond.
"It's the person the day before yesterday..." The sudden expression on Ji Linger's face made Yue Si's heart tighten. What happened? Who was that person?
Yue Siyi did not force Linger to ask her again. Presumably, someone would not let her say this matter. Looking at her expression, it seemed that she would be severely punished if she said it, so she didn't ask again, and she couldn't ask anything.
Linger went into the room in vain and continued to serve the eldest son, while Yue Siyi called Yan Zhen, who was at the door and said to him, "You go to Qingning Hall on Shenghe Street to grab a few drugs to treat the plague. Tell the shopkeeper that I want you to come, just report my name." Yan Zhen had a trace of doubt, but he didn't ask anything, so he lowered his head and walked out.
The plague broke out on a large scale as Yue Siyi expected. For a while in Kyoto, everyone talked about the plague, and because of the plague, Shuanglou completely stopped doing business again.
In the past, it was lively for the second, but now it is rare to see a person, hiding at home and not going out, because this can avoid being infected with the plague.
Because other points do not have medicinal materials to treat the plague, even if there is a small amount, they are stored by themselves in case they get the plague, so only one pharmacy in Kyoto sells a large number of medicinal materials to treat the plague. Even the people in the palace oppressed Qingning Hall to buy talents for those nobles in the palace to prevent the plague.
Now, everyone in Kyoto knows Qingningtang.
For more than ten days, the plague was also well controlled, but a large area of plague broke out in other places, and what was missing was the key medicinal herbs, and only Qingning lay down in Zhenglong Country, or it had not yet grown up.
Now, the chaos in the dragon country has not been solved, and a large-scale plague has occurred, giving people a kind of dry knot that the dragon country is about to die, and everyone feels in danger.
Because Yue Siyi did not go to Qingning Hall many times, and few people knew that she was the owner of Qingning Hall. When the emperor suddenly issued an imperial edict to see the owner of Qingning Hall, C felt embarrassed. Whether she saw it or not, it was like a stone pressing on her heart.
When the emperor saw her, he just wanted the medicine in her hand that could cure the plague, and it was also a good choice to see the emperor. If she doesn't see it, she will know the consequences without thinking about it. Although she is not personally in danger, the hundreds of people in Qingning Hall are not optimistic. Therefore, she still decided to meet the emperor. Even if she let him know the Qinglian girl who used to be the brothel of the boss of Qingningtang, it didn't matter.
Yue Siyi ordered someone to find Xi Yan. When he saw him, his whole face was pale. He was really tired these days. In order to earn enough gold and silver, he did it himself.
"Miss, what can I do for you?" Although he had a smile on his face, it was easy for Yue Siyi to see the fatigue he tried to hide.
"How many medicinal herbs do we have? How many people can be treated? After Yue Siyi sighed, he raised his head too much. Looking at the eighteen or nineteen-year-old child in front of him, he always wrote in his heart that he could not bear to see him so tired.
"It's enough to deal with the normal plague." The smile on Xi Yan's face faded, and the extension also became fierce. He asked Yue Siyi, "Miss, do you want to see the emperor?"
Yue Siyi did not answer or deny it, and he also knew what Xi Yan was worried about, but now she could not have anything to do with the emperor. Even if the emperor knew that he was Yi Ziluo, he would not disturb her again. His purpose was to kill Yi Ziluo.
"Many times, there are some things that need to put down hatred before we can think about it. Xi Yan, in the emperor's heart, Yi Ziluo is dead, and now I'm just a person who looks similar to her. So, you don't have to worry about what he will do to me. What can he do? He is begging her now, and he won't do anything to her at all.
"But..."
"I decided to go to see the emperor, and I have something to talk to him about, that is, I want to infiltrate our people into the court, so you go back to prepare, I will let you and Feifei, and Luo Zhi will go to the court to be an official."
Xi Yan wanted to ask why. Seeing that Yue Siyi had decided not to change his expression, he didn't say more, so he had to say, "Everything is up to the lady's arrangement."
When Xi Yan conveyed her decision to the guard who was waiting for news in the pharmacy, Yue Siyi took the carriage coming to the palace the next day and drove slowly towards the palace.
The carriage slowly drove across the official road and came to the front of Chengtian Gate. The bodyguard who was driving quickly listened to the carriage. Although she was the person designated by the emperor and the token given by the emperor, the soldiers guarding the palace gate still checked it as usual.
Yue Siyi, who was sitting in the car, was surrounded by a face towel. Although a bodyguard in front of her opened the curtain to check, she did not let her take off the cotton on her face and let the bodyguard check. Yue Siyi cooperatively exposed the fine and hidden place to the bodyguard who stretched out his head and looked in the car door. After careful inspection, the bodyguard found nothing inappropriate, so he let them go to the palace.
Enter the palace gate, the bodyguard who drove the car asked her to go down and walked into the palace to see the emperor.
Yue Siyi also understood the rules of the palace, so he walked out of the car and followed the man to the palace where the emperor was.
I don't know where I was taken, and I don't know the name of the palace in front of me. I only know that the palace in front of me is very elegant. It is indeed countless times more exquisite than those houses in the pharmacy. No wonder everyone wants to be emperor, and the place where they live alone is tens of thousands of times more luxurious than others, not to mention that it gathers all over the country. Beauty.
After Yue Siyi was handed over to an internal prisoner by the bodyguard, he disappeared. Yue Siyi had to follow the internal prison in front of him for fear that going to the wrong place in this strict palace would cause unnecessary trouble. What's more, her appearance was so similar to that she would not inevitably attract the scourge of her former rival. In a word, be careful to make a ten-thousand-year-old ship, and don't be afraid of losing your life for it.
The internal supervisor led him to a palace and transferred her to two other internal supervisors. After being handed over layer by layer, she finally came to the palace where the emperor stayed.
Standing outside the door, the inner prisoner, who heard the whisper of the inner prison that led her, asked him to leave first and let Yue Siyi wait alone outside the door of the hall. He quietly entered the hall to convey the news that the boss of Qingning Hall had been waiting outside the door of the hall.
After waiting for a long time, the inner supervisor ran out in a hurry and said respectfully to her, "Madam, the emperor announced you to enter the Middle Palace."
Zhonggong, where is it? She didn't know what kind of place Zhonggong was, because it was just a relatively grand cover in the palace, the emperor's residence.
Yue Siyi walked in without any scruples.
After the inner prison saw her go in, he finally couldn't help trembling. The bean-sized sweat on his forehead didn't know how to wipe it, because he never thought he would see her again. Although he felt that the woman in front of him was not the queen, the appearance was too similar, almost exactly the same.
Yue Siyi walked into the middle palace. There was no maidservant in it. Only the Yellow Emperor sat by the window and looked at the scenery in the distance.
"Chusian Yue Si recalled seeing the emperor, long live my emperor!" Yue Siyi couldn't lower his waist too much because of his health, so he just gently brushed his body. Anyway, the man in front of him would not notice. Half-bowed, the soreness coming out of her waist almost made her fall to the bottom immediately. Fortunately, at this time, the emperor's voice came and made her get up.
The emperor and Yue Siyi are not far away from each other, but there is a layer of almost transparent white silk yarn between them. The two sides are looming and not real.
When Yue Siyi heard his words, he loved him so much that he quickly stood up.
"Sit down." The emperor couldn't hear any emotions in the middle of the night, but it was plain.
After Yue Siyi thanked him, he immediately sat down in the nearest chair and waited for her to start trading with the emperor.
