An Qi'en took the pulses of both Bai Lu and Qi'en and found that their symptoms were much lighter and their energy was strong. Although they did not fully recover, it proved that the medicine last night was effective.
Qingbi and Bailu also said that they didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore. An Qien estimated that if the effect remained so obvious, he would be able to recover after taking this medicine for three days.
It took Lu Bochu two days. This was inseparable from her needling the needle and her own resistance. An Qien immediately told Lu Bochu the news.
Lu Bochu immediately ordered people to go to various places to purchase these herbal medicines in large quantities, and made the prescriptions public so that people who had these medicines at home could take them first.
Lu Bochu just went out to stabilize people's hearts. An Qien advised him to rest for two days to strengthen his body and mind, but he did not listen and was thinking about the people in the city.
Seeing Lu Bochu's recovery, the people rekindled their hope in life. Lu Bochu told everyone to hold on and large quantities of medicine would be delivered soon.
The medicine arrived in Jingyang within two days. Lu Bochu set up a shed and cooked a large pot of medicine like soup. Those with mild symptoms took bowls and queued up to receive the medicine. Those with severe symptoms were fed one by one by An Shian.
In the past three days, all the people in Jingyang who were not infected by the plague came to help. Lin Yanyun also came and hid for many days. Now she had to make a good presence in front of Lu Bochu.
Lin Zhehua's official position was reduced and he is now an ordinary person. He is eager to make a comeback. At this time, he took the initiative to donate three thousand silver taels to buy herbs and food for the people of Jingyang.
Yu Lan also brought people over to help. She stared at An Shian's busy figure from time to time, and the love in her heart became more and more obvious.
An Shi'an was directing his men to maintain order when he accidentally looked around and saw Yu Lan staring at him.
He nodded gracefully to Lan, and Yu Lan smiled shyly, blushing and looking away, lowering her eyebrows.
An Shian didn't think much about it and continued busy with his own affairs.
Yu Lan's heart was pounding as if it was not her own, and her face was getting redder and redder.
She didn't dare to look at An Shi'an blatantly, so she restrained herself.
We have been fighting like this for several days in a row. Many people who were infected with the plague have recovered due to their good body resistance. Some people's symptoms have improved and they only need to continue taking medicine.
Lu Bochu also provided medicine to the people outside the city gate. The city gate was opened and no longer closed. Emperor Changshun sent three thousand officers and soldiers. Two doctors came in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Jingyang had defeated the plague.
These officers, soldiers and doctors returned to their original place. Lu Bochu wrote a letter to Emperor Changshun. In the letter, he wrote how Jingyang was in dire straits and he was also infected with the plague. It was An Qi'en who saved him. All the people in the city said that he wanted to marry her as his princess and hoped that His Majesty would give him permission.
This letter was quickly delivered to Emperor Changshun. Emperor Changshun knew that there were countless casualties in Jingyang and that the whole city was almost wiped out with corpses everywhere. He and the queen were restless these days. Unexpectedly, Lu Bochu was really infected with the plague. .
After seeing the letter saying that An Qien saved the people in the city, Emperor Changshun was just about to get excited and say that he wanted a big reward when he saw the words that he wanted to marry An Qien as his wife. Lu Bochu's attitude was very firm. Emperor Changshun followed The queen was silent.
It was not that they looked down on An Qien, but they were weighing the pros and cons. Lu Bo would be criticized by the world for marrying an abandoned woman who he had divorced for the first time.
The queen thought deeply and said: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Qi'en, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a son. What's reputation? Although the woman Heli has a bad reputation, it's not her fault. She is not only kind to the court, but also to the people of the world. It’s also a blessing, maybe it will be a blessing for the people if such a woman can become a princess.”
Emperor Changshun sighed and said helplessly: "Let him go. If he survives the catastrophe, I have nothing else to ask for."
Emperor Changshun immediately wrote back and agreed to the matter, but now that the plague has just passed, he and the queen will not be able to attend their wedding ceremony, and the reward will be increased if there are no people.
This letter was finally delivered to Lu Bochu after several horses were killed overnight.
At this time, Jingyang has gradually returned to normal, and the market has opened normally. However, the weather has turned cold and the plague has killed so many people. There are not many people left, which makes the market seem deserted.
Today is also An Qien's first day of business. After finishing her work on the plague, she rested in the house for several days. After recovering, she opened the door of the medicine shop.
As soon as she opened the door, many people gathered at the door and knelt in front of her door and kowtowed: "Girl is the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Thank you girl for saving us..."
There were men, women, old and young kneeling in front of the door. More and more people slowly blocked the street. Originally, the people wanted to kneel in front of An's house to thank them, but everyone thought about An Qi'en's days and nights. She is too busy to disturb her recuperation.
As soon as she recovered, people came to kneel down to express their gratitude. This scene happened to be seen by Lin Yanyun, and she felt unbalanced and angry. The Lin family had donated three thousand silver taels. They contributed money and efforts. Why don't these white-eyed wolves kneel down at the door of her house to be grateful!
These people are so mean-spirited that you can’t be too nice to them!
Lin Yanyun was furious when he saw An Qien being supported by others!
She turned around angrily, and Xi'er followed cautiously behind her, not daring to show off her anger.
Suddenly Lin Yanyun saw Lu Bochu walking towards him, apparently going to pay his respects to Qi'en. Lin Yanyun lowered her eyebrows and went to greet Lu Bochu.
"Hail, my lord."
Lu Bochu glanced at her lightly: "Yes."
Lu Bochu responded and passed her by without saying a single unnecessary word.
Lin Yanyun, who was left out, felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She forced a smile. After Lu Bochu walked away, she quietly walked back and stood in the corner to quietly observe Lu Bochu's movements.
An Qi'en was flattered and asked the people who were kneeling to thank him to get up quickly. The people burst into tears of gratitude but were unwilling to get up and kowtow repeatedly.
An Qi'en was extremely moved and embarrassed. The three girls, Qingbi Bailu Minghua, hurriedly greeted everyone, but no one listened.
When Lu Bochu saw this scene, he was extremely moved and touched a lot. When the people saw Lu Bochu coming, they kowtowed to Lu Bochu and thanked him.
"My lord, long blessings. Thank you for your unfailing kindness. My lord's benevolence is a lesson to heaven and earth. He is a blessing to the people..."
"Get up quickly. This is what I should do. Madam An still wants to open the door for business, so don't block it."
Lu Bochu had his hands behind his waist, his figure was tall and strong, his tone was gentle, and when he finished speaking, he looked towards An Qien in the center of the room.
Their eyes met with tenderness. This was the first time the two of them had met after the plague. Lu Bochu had been busy with the aftermath of the plague and had no free time. He came over to see An Qien when he had time today. He didn't expect to see such heartwarming things. scene.
The common people finally retreated one after another in order not to disturb An Qien's business.
Lu Bochu walked in and said to An Qien in a gentle tone: "Are you free? Go out for a walk with me?"
An Qien bent his knees and nodded.
Lu Bochu didn't let the maid and slave follow him, so the two of them went outside for a walk.
Lin Yanyun became even more angry when she saw Lu Bochu and An Qien taking a walk with each other, who had a close relationship with each other. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch the eye of the prince, which made her feel more and more twisted.
She couldn't stand it anymore and turned away angrily.
Lu Bochu looked at the street shops on both sides and sighed: "Without you, Jingyang would probably be an empty city."
An Qien smiled slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, please stop saying those words. I'm just protecting myself."
She had heard too many words of gratitude these days, and she really didn't want to hear them anymore. She didn't do this to make everyone grateful to her.
Lu Bochu smiled as warmly as a man in the spring breeze: "Well, let's not talk about this. Let's get down to business. My father has agreed for us to get married. I can choose a good and auspicious day to get married."
An Qi'en was shocked. She didn't expect to get married so soon. She felt weird, but it couldn't be justified if they didn't get married. When Lu Bo was first infected with the plague, she stayed with him day and night, and even looked at his body. .
She is traditional at heart and should be responsible for others.
She blushed with embarrassment and said softly, "It's fine, Your Majesty."
Lu Bochu was in a good mood. He glanced at the shy An Qien, and the corners of his lips rose even more beautifully.
The cold wind howled and blew the hems of their clothes. Lu Bochu took off his cloak and put it on An Qien gently and politely.
An Qien tensed her nerves and even breathed carefully. She had a cloak on her body that was cold and yet covered with a warm and thick one.
Lu Bochu put the belt on her and looked at her cautious look. He couldn't help but pinch her fair cheek in a funny way: "We have known each other for so long, and you are still shy?"
His hand was neither strong nor heavy, but it still left red marks on her face because her face was so tender and smooth, just like a baby's skin.
An Qi'en was even more shy and embarrassed to be seen in public in broad daylight. She called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty."
Lu Bochu deliberately pinched her fleshy cheek again and teased her: "What are you afraid of? You will be my princess soon."
An Qi'en was afraid of the negative impact, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand to open Lu Bochu's hand, pursed his lips and smiled shyly: "Your Majesty, it's not good to be seen."
When Lu Bo saw her smiling for the first time, he stopped teasing her and continued, "Just wait and see, your brother and I will handle the rest."
An Qien nodded.
This is a big event, so I must write a letter to tell An Zhengyuan and Jiang. In this case, the date of getting married may not be set until after the new year.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Lu Bochu's voice: "I remember that the 9th of next month will be a good day, so let's book it there. How about it?"
An Qien was confused and reminded: "Your Majesty, it's already the end of the month, and there are only ten days in between?"
Lu Bo first thought that ten days was too long, but he also felt that there would be no good days before the 9th. He thoughtfully said: "The 9th means long and long, and the other days are not good. I also feel that it is too long. But these are the better days these days.”
