Before she could take a few steps, she saw a figure walking towards her. As the figure approached, Yilan gradually saw the figure clearly through the light of two lanterns hanging under the eaves behind her. The next moment
His face immediately darkened, and he turned around to leave.
"Madam! Madam!" The visitor saw that she was about to leave and called quickly. At the same time, he took a few steps quickly and took Yilan's hand. Who else would call her "Madam" except Li Yaoguang.
Yilan forcefully broke away from his hand and said with a cold face: "From the moment you wrote the letter of divorce, I am no longer your wife. Please also ask Mr. Li not to use random names to avoid misunderstanding."
"Madam, you knew that I had no choice but to do it that day. In my heart, you have always been my wife, Li Yaoguang, and that has never changed."
His words were met with ridicule from Yilan, "So, I still have to thank you, Mr. Li?"
"Madam!" Li Yaoguang said earnestly: "Can you please stop being so angry? Since you returned to your parents' home, I have come to look for you several times, but you have avoided me every time. How on earth can you forgive me?"
He had come to look for Yilan in the afternoon. The housekeeper in the mansion said that she had gone out, so he thought of coming back later to find her.
Yilan stared at him, her expression indifferent under the orange light, "Impossible! From the moment you divorced me and took Qiuju as your concubine, I swore that I would never forgive you!"
When she was about to leave, he held her back again and said, "Madam, listen to me, I didn't accept..."
"I don't want to hear it!" She interrupted him coldly, "If you don't let go, I will call someone. By then, your reputation, Mr. Li, will not be safe."
Although it was already dark at this time, there were still pedestrians and hawkers on the street, hawking and horse-drawn carriages looking for business. If they really shouted, they would definitely attract those people. By then, I would really have no words to explain, but if I want to
He was absolutely unwilling to let go. After finally seeing Yilan, he must speak clearly.
Taking advantage of his hesitation, Yilan broke away from his hand and walked away quickly, leaving Li Yaoguang shaking his head behind him. Alas, Yilan's temperament really hasn't changed, and now she's just afraid of letting herself tell the truth.
, she couldn't listen to anything, so she could only speak slowly, hoping that she wouldn't be angry for too long.
When he was about to go back, Li Yaoguang suddenly felt that something was wrong. Even if Yilan ignored him, he shouldn't have walked out. When he came to his senses and chased after him, Yilan had already gotten into a carriage and sped away, and he could not catch up. He could only
Then he knocked on the door of Ling Mansion, and after meeting the two elders, he learned that Yilan had a big quarrel with them and ran away from home. She has no idea where she went now.
In the next few days, Li Yaoguang visited Ling Mansion several times, but he did not learn about Yilan's whereabouts. It seemed that she had made up her mind not to have contact with her family. But where could she go as a single woman?
In anguish, Li Yaoguang took a few days' leave from the Hanlin Academy and began to search all over the capital, hoping that God would allow him to find Yilan. There was something he had to tell her personally.
However, Yilan has not yet been found, but something happened to Li Yaoguang himself. Several errors and omissions were found in his previous compilation of a book history. There are tens of thousands of words in the history. It is reasonable to occasionally make an error, but someone
Seizing this point, he ruthlessly implicated him in front of the emperor, using sharp words and exaggerating a small matter several times.
Yinzhen had been in a bad mood these days. After reading the memorial, he immediately called him and gave him a severe scolding. Although he was not dismissed, he was demoted two levels in a row, from the original fifth grade to the sixth grade.
And this was not over yet. After that, people came to refer to him one after another. Li Yaoguang was not too prominent in the Hanlin Academy, but in the past few days, he had become a prominent figure and was attacked repeatedly.
He wondered if he had accidentally offended some high-ranking official, which led to a series of attacks.
He knew that if he continued like this, the situation would only become more and more unfavorable for him, so he simply claimed to be ill at home and avoided the court, a place of disputes, so that he could take this opportunity to concentrate on searching for Yilan's whereabouts.
The court and the harem seemed to be trapped in an invisible whirlpool, and an unprecedented storm was about to come...
At that time, Tongzhou, which was forty miles away, was like a hell on earth, with people dying in mourning every day. The arrival of Rong Yuan and others did not dispel the gloom and mist shrouding Tongzhou City in the slightest.
They had been mentally prepared before coming, but they were still shocked when they saw it. Forty miles apart, it was like heaven and hell.
The earthquake was no longer felt in the capital forty miles away, and even the bad weather began to disappear. Although the impact of the earthquake has not disappeared, everything is developing in a good direction. At least people can see the hope of survival.
However, Tongzhou is not the case. Here you will still feel a shock every few days, big or small. The small hours will pass without you noticing. When the big earthquake is big, the houses that survived the earthquake will tremble and tremble and collapse at any time.
, pressing those who had no time to escape under the bricks.
The weather in Tongzhou is extremely bad. The sun is shining one moment, and there may be sudden heavy rains the next moment. Under such circumstances, more and more people are suffering from the plague. Walking on the devastated streets, there are everywhere
Wails and screams were heard.
The water source in Tongzhou carries the plague, but if you don't drink the water, you will die of thirst and starvation, so those who are not sick are forced to drink the water that may make them infected with the plague, leaving their lives to God's decision
, this moment is life, the next moment may be lingering at the gate of hell.
On this day, Rong Yuan and several doctors returned to the small hospital where they had temporarily stayed. When the frowning doctor Yang saw him coming in, he immediately put down the medical book in his hand and went up to him and asked, "How is it? Is it effective?"
Rong Yuan shook his head heavily, "It's still the same. All the people who took the medicine got worse and started to suffer from diarrhea and vomiting. The medicine this time cannot be used either."
"Damn it!" After hearing this, Doctor Yang punched the table with a gloomy face and said angrily: "We have changed seven or eight kinds of prescriptions for treating the plague, but none of them can be used.
It is useful, and even if it is useless normally, it should not be aggravated. What is the plague that is so troublesome?!"
"It's useless to be angry anymore." Rong Yuan took the medical book he put on the table casually and said, "Brother Yang has been reading the medical book for a day, but has there been any progress?"
Doctor Yang said angrily: "If there had been progress, I wouldn't be so angry. All the medical books I brought have been read through, but there is not a single prescription for the disease. It's really annoying."
Rong Yuan sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "No matter how angry you are, there is nothing you can do. It is only right to think of ways to save people. Since this recipe doesn't work, let's try another recipe tomorrow. Since there is a plague, it must be
