Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 360: Riding a Horse First

on the official road.

As the convoy went further and further away, the towering city walls of the capital city gradually shrank in sight.

The little child standing under the city wall gradually turned into a black dot, and his face could no longer be seen.

Despite this, Yun Fuling still leaned her head out of the carriage window, looking around reluctantly.

Xiao Jingyi rode his horse to the carriage where Yun Fuling was riding and said to Yun Fuling:

"Don't worry, I left secret guards to protect him, he'll be fine."

Yun Fuling thought of the gourd necklace containing space spiritual water that she secretly gave to Yun Jingmo last night.

In order to ensure Xiao Jingmo's safety in the capital, the couple made a lot of preparations.

Xiao Jingmo is always smart, and with Jing ** protecting him, he will definitely not suffer any loss.

Thinking of this, Yun Fuling felt relieved, but she still felt worried.

Yun Fuling did not lower the curtain until the small black dot under the city wall disappeared from her sight and could no longer be seen.

The convoy moved slowly northward.

At noon, everyone stopped and rested by the roadside.

Yun Fuling got off the carriage and stretched her body.

It is really not easy to travel in this time and space.

The road conditions were bad, causing the carriage to be very bumpy when driving.

Yun Fuling had been sitting in the carriage for the entire morning and felt as if she was being shaken to pieces.

So during the lunch break, she quickly got out of the carriage and stretched her arms and legs.

At the same time, she was thinking that when she set off again later, she might as well not take the carriage and just ride a horse.

But at this moment, the weather is still cold and has not warmed up yet.

And the further north you go, the colder the climate becomes.

Riding on a horse and feeling the cold wind blowing in your face is certainly not as comfortable as sitting in a warm carriage.

Yun Fuling was shaking her legs and arms while exercising, letting her thoughts drift away.

After a while, Yaoguang came over with water and dry food.

Yun Fuling had also recovered by this time and reached out to take the water and dry food that Yaoguang handed over.

"Princess, I'm sorry for wronging you."

"When we stay at the inn tonight, we won't have to eat these."

"I will prepare some delicious food for you then."

Yaoguang looked at Yun Fuling with a distressed expression.

Yun Fuling smiled and shook her head: "It's important to hurry on our way now, don't bother me, I'll just eat dry food like everyone else."

Yun Fuling is not a delicate person.

Besides, everyone else eats dry food, but she is the only one who gets treated specially, which has a bad influence.

Yaoguang felt even more distressed after hearing this.

Yun Fuling ate while looking around aimlessly.

I happened to see Xiao Jingyi talking to several ministers who were accompanying him.

He didn't seem to be in a good mood, with his brows tightly furrowed.

After a while, the few people dispersed and Xiao Jingyi walked towards Yun Fuling.

When Xiao Jingyi came closer, Yun Fuling couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What were you and Lord Zhou talking about just now?"

Xiao Jingyi said: "According to the current speed, it is too slow."

"If we delay on the road for one more day, dozens or even hundreds of people may die in Shuozhou."

"I was wondering if we could get everyone to speed up and get to Shuozhou as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Yun Fuling's eyes fell on the car frames parked on the roadside.

Some of those vehicles were horse-drawn carriages for people to ride in, and some were carts loaded with supplies.

The main reason for slowing down the marching speed was these frames.

No matter how fast we speed up, we won't be able to move the carriage loaded with supplies much faster.

Yun Fuling thought about it and suggested, "Why don't we split up into two groups?"

"Some people rode on horseback first, rushing to Shuozhou day and night."

"The rest of the people will stay behind to escort the supplies."

Xiao Jingyi thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.

The presence of vehicles loaded with supplies towed the troops greatly reduced the marching speed.

At the pace we're marching this morning, it'll probably take twice as long to travel.

The people in Shuozhou are facing a dire situation and cannot afford to delay.

If we follow Yun Fuling's method, Yun Fuling can take the imperial physician and others to go ahead.

The convoy loaded with supplies will move slowly behind, so it doesn't matter if it takes a few days.

According to news from Shuozhou, although smallpox is spreading in the city, there is still sufficient supply of medicine and food for the time being.

Xiao Jingyi thought for a moment, then nodded to Yun Fuling and said, "I will gather everyone to announce this matter."

After a while, several leaders of the imperial guards, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and several accompanying ministers gathered together.

Xiao Jingyi first talked about the slow marching speed, and then talked about the solution given by Yun Fuling.

Of the one thousand imperial guards, seven hundred were left to protect the escorted supplies, and the remaining three hundred followed Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling ahead.

All the imperial physicians and doctors summoned from the public followed Yun Fuling.

After all, Yun Fuling still needs the help of these doctors to go to Shuozhou for smallpox treatment, so it is impossible for her to let them walk slowly behind her.

Fortunately, both the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the doctors from the folks wanted to rush to Shuozhou as soon as possible to treat smallpox patients, and no one objected to the decision of Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling.

As for the rest, they can choose as they please.

Those who are willing to follow Yun Fuling can go and pick a horse.

If you don't want to ride a horse in the cold wind in such a cold weather, you can go and escort supplies and walk slowly behind the convoy.

After notifying everyone, Xiao Jingyi asked them to get ready, and the first group set off a quarter of an hour later.

Yun Fuling turned around and went to look for Doctor Zhong and others.

Ouyang Ming did not go to Shuozhou with the others this time, because he was not only the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but also the imperial physician of Jing **.

Even if he was willing, Jing** would not let him leave at this time.

Because of Yun Fuling's departure, his medical skills became the best in the entire Imperial Hospital.

It is impossible that Jing** does not have a skilled imperial physician by his side to take precautions.

Therefore, there were a total of five imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau accompanying them on the journey north this time.

Among these five, Doctor Zhong has the best medical skills and the longest experience.

All the imperial physicians also secretly regarded Imperial Physician Zhong as their leader.

In addition to the imperial physician, there were about twenty other medical men and female doctors.

Yun Fuling admires and respects these people.

No matter what their reasons were, they deserve praise for being willing to risk their lives to travel to Shuozhou.

Yun Fuling walked through the crowd and found Doctor Zhong where all the imperial doctors were gathered.

"Doctor Zhong, we will have to ride fast later. It's cold and windy. You might as well take a carriage and follow the group of people behind..."

Before Yun Fuling could finish his words, Doctor Zhong raised his hand to interrupt him, his eyes as big as copper bells.

"Why? Do you look down on me, an old man?"

"Don't worry, I'm in good health. It's just a ride on horseback. I can handle it, old man!"
