Chapter 27 Pursuing the Blight
Concubine Shu's actions were extremely fast, Chu Qinglan was only a step late, and the other party had already wiped out all the traces, leaving only the remaining ashes, which was handed over to Chu Qinglan by the disgusted old eunuch.

"This is all that maid's belongings, and I ask the eldest princess to have a look."

Concubine Shu's attitude couldn't find any thorns, but the look of hiding a knife in her eyes was really unpleasant.

Chu Qinglan also knew that the other party would not be so foolish as to keep the evidence, so she had no choice but to leave after being polite.

Now that big palace lady is not an important matter at all, and I just came here to investigate as a routine.

What's more important is the maid who was released from the palace. However, after she left the palace, she got into a carriage and drove all the way to the north of the city. No one knew about her anymore.

Mo Beiyu was infected with the disease, and the court lady disappeared, which gave Chu Qinglan a bad premonition.

But now it's better to catch the evidence that Concubine Shugui poisoned Mo Beiyu first, but it's a pity that almost all the insiders have been killed.

The only person involved disappears, leaving them in a dilemma.

After Mo Beiyu recovered from his injuries, he began to go to court normally. The Dali Temple where he was staying suddenly handed over a strange case. A man and a court lady who had been released were both killed on the bank of the West River.

It may be a vendetta, or it may be a love killing, Wu Zuo just reported it routinely.

Palace maid?

Such a coincidence, it happened to be a repatriated court lady.

Mo Beiyu thought of the one he saw in Concubine Shu's palace, and quickly ordered people to investigate, but before his people arrived, the West River Bank was completely sealed off.

"My lord, it's not the little one who won't let you go, it's just the co-worker and his family who checked that day. I don't know why they suddenly contracted a high fever."

The yamen servants were full of embarrassment. They were close to the capital but not in a prosperous area. On weekdays, they relied on these high officials to give them some rewards.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has always been generous, but this matter is so important that he dared not let anyone enter rashly.

The guards were not unreasonable either. After inquiring about the situation, they also looked solemn, and sent an urgent letter to Mo Beiyu's case.

However, it was too late, the plague had already begun to spread, and several villages on the west bank were all closed.

Soon it will be the day when the two get married, but there is a plague near the imperial city.This made it impossible for Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu to be distracted.

The past few days were the time when the caravans entered the capital. Before Mo Beiyu had time to seal the city gates, he learned that the three-way caravan had arrived in the capital along with Dao Da.

And the people who have been in contact with them are half of the people in the capital!

"Immediately seize these caravans and blockade them!" Mo Beiyu said solemnly, while writing a note to report to the emperor, he issued an urgent order to his subordinates.

Things got serious, those blocked caravans didn't know why, someone incited a few words among them, and they all started to make a fuss, saying that the Qing Kingdom didn't respect them and wanted to return.

At this time, Mo Beiyu dared not let these people run around, so he had to take tough measures first.

The epidemic on the West River Bank is getting worse and worse. This epidemic develops rapidly, but it is not obvious at the beginning, and it will show its true state after two days.

Everyone in the village knew the horror of the plague, so they dared not speak out, fearing that they would be thrown into the pit on the mountain and buried alive.

This is how these small villages have treated the disease since ancient times.

One lied to ten, ten lied to a hundred, the people who launched the plague were also extremely smart, and they all chose the road close to the caravan.

Now the emperor has urgently ordered these caravans to postpone coming to Beijing, but there are still five caravans approaching the imperial city!
The big wedding couldn't be held, and the entire imperial court was too busy to stop it, but there was nothing they could do.

Seeing this, Chu Qinglan felt anxious. Although she had a way to deal with Mo Beiyu's Gu poison last time, it was not triggered after all. Now she has to face the complete one and lost another helper.

The only way to book a pharmacy is through personal contact.

Although Mo Beiyu was worried about the spread of the plague, he still did not allow Chu Qinglan to go to the West River Bank to check.

"The plague this time is extremely weird. It's best for Lan'er to stay in the mansion and not run around. I'll take care of the rest."

It was precisely because of the difficulty that Chu Qinglan didn't want Mo Beiyu to go alone.

She grabbed Mo Beiyu's sleeve, her eyes full of solemnity: "Although you and I are not married yet, our relationship is already equal to husband and wife. As a wife, how can I see you in danger alone?"

Chu Qinglan took a deep breath: "I have a good understanding of medical skills, and I know how to protect myself. This time, the plague is so fierce that it is not accidental. Someone must be behind the scenes."

"You and I can be regarded as taking care of us when we go together."

Mo Beiyu's eyes flashed, today the emperor called him to the imperial study room, and pointed out with a serious face that there was something imminent on the border of Beiyi, as if he had known about the spread of the plague in Qing Kingdom in advance, and he was very provocative.

The two things combined make it hard not to think too much.

Mo Beiyu hesitated for a moment. Concubine Shu Gui and her party were still in the capital. This place may not be safer than the West River Bank. Coupled with Chu Qinglan's firm attitude, the two finally went to the outbreak point of the plague together.

The body of the maid was entangled with a man, and there were signs of a fight between the two. The strange thing was that after the maid died, the man seemed to have committed suicide.

The blood gushing from the neck was all sprinkled on the maid's chest, and the two bodies were entangled in a strange posture.

Chu Qinglan covered her mouth and nose with a cloth. The place had been washed with vinegar, and a strong sour smell made people feel sick.

Fortunately, when Chu Qinglan was studying medicine, she often stayed in this environment, and she got used to it fairly well, which amazed the doctors and doctors next to her.

After all, she is the supreme daughter of gold, so she is very skilled in her work.

The court lady had a poisonous primer, and the Gu insects on the man formed this weird plague.

One release of this kind of poison has already made people unconscious for several days, even a strong body like Mo Beiyu would be damaged, let alone an ordinary person.

The more Chu Qinglan watched, the more anxious she became: "Is there a way to restrain yourself?" She turned to ask the doctor next to her.

The doctor shook his head in embarrassment. Usually, the plague can be restrained a little with ancient methods, but once it spreads to this extent, he can only find a way to seal off the village and burn the corpses.

However, the outbreak of the plague this time is extremely widespread. If it is to be killed, it is estimated that those patients will explode.

This is also one of the reasons why the emperor felt extremely headache.

Chu Qinglan looked at the dying patients in the tent, without exception, there was deep despair hidden in their eyes.

"How many people are there?" Knowing that Chu Qinglan was asking about the number of infected people, the yamen servant hesitated and replied:
"There are still a few villages that have been blocked because of the road, but the people in the village want to come out."

This situation happened to everyone in the village, but there was no intrigue at this time, and everyone wanted to go out and ask for help.
