After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 280

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the person who sent the New Year gift from Yan An and Luo Wense finally arrived in the capital, but the person who gave the New Year gift did not come to ask to see Chen Xiuyan, but a young servant with a handkerchief tied around his mouth and nose, came to report the news, and hoped that Jin The doctor of the palace can go to the house to help diagnose and treat the person who gave the New Year's gift this time.

Yan An had his own house in the capital, and when he came to give gifts, he asked the servants in charge to live in the house, so that he didn't need to go to the inn or Yan's mansion in the capital to live.

"The old slave followed, but the mourning voices of the people inside could be heard from outside the house. The man who came to invite the government doctor didn't let the old slave in, saying that many people were infected with the same disease."

Chen Xiuyan suddenly got up when she heard it, "Same symptom, what symptom?"

"Vomiting and diarrhea." Madam Mu said seriously, with a serious expression on her face, "It's the same symptoms as that Princess Goryeo when I was in Hot Spring Village."

"Among the people from Shouyang County, are there any deaths?" Chen Xiuyan asked with a sullen brow.

"There is one." Madam Mu said with a serious expression, "Madam also suspects it is a plague? Shanxi was hit by floods before, and plagues are prone to occur after the catastrophe."

"Symptoms that occurred on the way here, or did they have symptoms before departure from Shou'an County? Did anyone come into contact with such symptoms on the way? How long did the person who died have the symptoms?" Chen Xiuyan asked questions one after another.

Mother Mu answered all of them, "The first person who got sick was his child who had diarrhea before leaving Shouyang County. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but he also started it when he was on the way, but he was fatal. After stretching for a few days, I ate some herbal medicine, and the oldest one who was infected by him stretched for more than ten days, and died, and the rest survived."

"The servant of the Second Young Master who came to the mansion yesterday to report to the mansion guarding the house in central Beijing, he has never been in contact with him, and he came to our place fully armed for safety." Madam Mu replied.

Chen Xiuyan sat down after hearing the words, "The death rate is not high, and it can't be called a plague."

"But it's contagious. People with poor constitution, old or young are prone to die from infection." Chen Xiuyan now suspects dysentery, if it was cholera, she would have died a long time ago.

"I'll prepare some medicine, and my mother will help deliver it."

"Yes."

Chen Xiuyan prepared western medicine, quinolone-type antiseptics, and Madam Mu sent them in a small oiled paper bag, along with a sheet of precautions and disinfection methods.

Western medicine works quickly, and many people's diarrhea stopped immediately, but after so many days, it is not so easy to relieve the pain, so the government doctor prescribed a lot of traditional Chinese medicine to restore the body.

The people in the house who were not infected were also very busy. According to Chen Xiuyan's precautions and disinfection methods, they boiled their clothes in hot water every day to disinfect them, and cleaned the inside and outside of the house. The most restrictive point is Can't go out, obviously the Chinese New Year is coming soon, but the house is deserted, without any decorations.

Fortunately, on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, I received two carts from Chen Xiuyan. One was food, the other was daily necessities and new clothes. How could there be no new clothes for the New Year.

Chen Xiuyan discovered that since she came to ancient times, she has been treating people for treatment almost every Chinese New Year, and this year is no exception. Although she didn't go to the dysentery patient in person, the medicine was prepared, and she thought she could have a good New Year's Eve dinner , the third prince is here.

"Sister-in-law, please come with me to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Officials." The third prince was dressed in black clothes, although his expression was still calm, but Chen Xiuyan could see the anxiety in his eyes.

Chen Xiuyan didn't ask any further questions, she carried the medicine box on her back, accompanied by Chu Wenqian, the husband and wife went with the third prince alone.

"Which one is sick?" After getting into the carriage, because Chu Wenqian was with him, the third prince did not avoid suspicion. The three of them rode in the same carriage, so Chen Xiuyan asked.

"Grandfather's family." The third prince's expression was a little serious.

Chen Xiuyan was taken aback, "Poisoned?"

"I doubt it too." The third prince said coldly, "But the doctor said after looking at it that he was not poisoned."

"What symptoms?" Chen Xiuyan asked with a frown.

"Diarrhea." The third prince asked, "I heard that Princess Gaoli suffered from vomiting and diarrhea when she was in the hot spring village in Wumeng Mountain. It was cured by her sister-in-law. The most serious thing is that I was afraid of accidents, so I came to invite my sister-in-law overnight."

"How long has the diarrhea been?"

"Today is the second day, but yesterday my grandfather went to work ten times, and he could hardly eat anything, so he could only drink water." The third prince said worriedly.

Chen Xiuyan frowned. Normally, no one in Yan's house would go out. He had clearly said that and sent people to watch around. Except for the young man who went to the Jin Palace at the beginning, no one came out today or yesterday. It's impossible. will spread dysentery.

It is possible to pass it on to anyone, but there is no intersection between the Ministry of Officials and the Minister's Office.

"Is there anyone from Shanxi in the Ministry of Officials?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

The third prince's eyes shot at Chen Xiuyan in an instant, with a trace of shock in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, but Chen Xiuyan had already felt that moment, and it seemed that he had it.

"Why would sister-in-law ask such a question?" The third prince asked.

"My second sister married Yan An, the eldest son of Yin Yan's family in Shuntian Prefecture. The second brother-in-law is now the county magistrate of Shouyang County under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture in Shanxi. The third prince should know about this."

The third prince nodded upon hearing this.

"Second sister and second brother-in-law wrote to me two months ago to say that the annual gift they prepared will be delivered, but I just received this annual gift yesterday." Chen Xiuyan explained, "The person who gave the annual gift is sick. , all symptoms of diarrhea, although not as serious as the plague, but one person died on the road."

The third prince was astonished, "You mean that there are contagious diseases in Shanxi."

Chu Wenqian also frowned, Chen Xiuyan told herself about the dysentery, the letter to King Jin and the medicine sent by the dark guards overnight, but this was just a precaution, there was no movement before, and The flood has been in the past for several months, and it shouldn't take so long for the disease to break out, so I thought it was only a small area, but now...

"Before it was tuberculosis, but now it's plague, Shanxi..." The third prince looked at Chu Wenqian, and the two eyes met, each understanding in their hearts.

"Yesterday, I wrote a letter to my father, and I also sent medicine for treatment. I hope it's only a small area." Chu Wenqian replied.

Chen Xiuyan is now a little worried about her family members in Taiyuan Mansion, and she is most worried about Luo Wense, after all, Yan An's people have such a disease.

"Grandfather's hidden stake in Shanxi sent a message back a few days ago, and he was the first to get sick." The third prince didn't hide any more, "Can sister-in-law prepare some medicine for treatment?"

"Okay." Chen Xiuyan agreed, no matter what, they were all on the same boat.
