Xuanyuan Shengcai's team arrived at Beiyuan County a day later than Chu Huan. Chu Huan had already made some arrangements in Beiyuan County by taking advantage of this day.

Nian Xinlan turned from a talented scholar to a county magistrate, and the news spread quickly within a day. People either praised or criticized Chu Huan's eclectic way of employing people.

Chu Huan did not object to Nian Xinlan's rectification of officials, but in Beiyuan County, of course, Chu Huan would not immediately help Nian Xinlan to carry out some rectification of officials. The most important thing is just like what he did in Qingtang County As before, all the doctors in Beiyuan County quickly came and brought up the issue of the epidemic again.

Nian Xinlan also knew that this was a top priority, and actively cooperated, and he had announced early on that he wanted to rectify the officials in Beiyuan County. When the officials in Beiyuan County heard this, they were terrified. The governor was sitting in Beiyuan County, and everyone immediately cheered Spirit, for the upcoming epidemic prevention work, was extremely active, and only wanted to give the newly appointed governor and even the county magistrate Nian a good impression in this battle against the epidemic, so as to avoid being expelled from the government office.

On the way, Chu Huan thought that there were many offices in Beiyuan County, but the news from Qingtang County was obviously inaccurate. There were indeed troops stationed in Ningshan, more than ten miles away from the outer ear of Beiyuan County, but only One battalion of troops and another battalion of troops have been transferred to Kofu City in Kozhou. The government officials who had retreated from the northern states and counties had been relocated to their original locations sporadically three months ago. The officials of Kofu City moved the most. Since then, officials of all sizes from Jinzhou, Yuezhou, and Hezhou have also moved away from Beiyuan County.

In this situation, Chu Huan is happy to see that the West Gate can operate normally only when the officials and the people return to their respective positions.

Chu Huan didn't have too much energy to personally arrange the isolation affairs. The specific matters were directly handed over to Nian Xinlan who had just taken office. Although Nian Xinlan was a new official, she was full of enthusiasm and was very active. Huan was waiting for Xuanyuan Shengcai's team in Beiyuan County. He was always worried about Su Niang's situation. In the county town, he found a few doctors with outstanding medical skills alone to ask about the situation of the epidemic. No matter how strong the current is, although everyone knows that the disaster of the epidemic can be avoided, they are helpless, and there is no way to cure the epidemic.

Chu Huan found more than a dozen doctors in a row, hoping that there would be even a glimmer of hope, but all the doctors were eloquent about the situation of the epidemic, but when it came to how to treat them, they had nothing to say.

He was in a bad mood, and it wasn't until Xuanyuan Shengcai's team came to Beiyuan County that Chu Huan realized that things were more serious than he imagined.

Chu Huan came to Beiyuan County ahead of time and visited Su Niang once on the way. At that time, she just felt that Su Niang was very tired and weak, and her forehead was a little hot, but she didn't have any other symptoms.

But when I saw Su Niang again in Beiyuan County, Su Niang had already had a high fever, and she was shaking a little even when she walked. After a period of time, she would cough continuously, and Chu Huan felt anxious and uncomfortable, so she arranged for Su Niang, and hurriedly summoned Sun Boliu, who accompanied her on the way, to inquire about her condition.

Sun Boliu also looked very serious. Although he knew that Chu Huan didn't like to hear it, he didn't dare to lie, saying: "My lord, Madam's physique is already very good, so this kind of edema has only appeared today. A woman with a weak physique is much more serious than Madam's current situation."

Chu Huan kept looking very ugly, and asked, "Is there nothing we can do now? We can only watch?"

Sun Boliu sighed: "During the journey, the villain also prepared an antidote for my wife and drank it, but the effect was very little, and the medicine was not suitable for the symptoms, so it had no effect at all."

"How much time is left?" Chu Huan clenched his fists.

"This...shouldn't be too long." Sun Boliu said seriously: "The body has already started to swell, and then the disease poison in the body will spread rapidly. Madam was in good health before, but now she can't resist the disease in her body. within three days, the whole body will be completely taken over by the plague poison, and the skin will start to fester...!"

Chu Huan raised his hand to stop Sun Boliu from continuing.

Sun Boliu still wanted to say something, but seeing Chu Huan's painful expression, he knew it was useless to say anything, so he had no choice but to get up and leave.

Su Niang was arranged in the main room in the backyard of the county government office. Sisters Janice did not know that Su Niang had been infected with the plague, but they all knew that Su Niang was seriously ill. Even in the mansion in central Beijing, they seldom walk together, but they are also worried about Su Niang's condition.

The courtyard where Su Niang lives has already been sealed off, and no one else is allowed to enter to avoid infection. In fact, Sun Boliu has already warned everyone not to approach Su Niang on the way.

When Chu Huan came to Su Niang's courtyard, Sister Janice was whispering something outside the courtyard, while Ru Lian clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and chanted scriptures, praying for Su Niang.

Chu Huan felt guilty all the time. If she had known this would be the result, she should have gone to the Northwest alone instead of bringing Su Niang and other family members with her.

When Rulian and Janice saw Chu Huan coming, they didn't speak. They also saw Chu Huan's serious expression. Huan didn't have such an expression, seeing that Chu Huan was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to disturb him.

Chu Huan entered Su Niang's room alone. Su Niang was already in a deep sleep because of a high fever, but arranged for a maid to wait in the house at any time with a mask and gloves. Beside the bed, because her face was swollen, Su Niang had already covered her face with a silk scarf so that no one could see her. Even if she was lying down to rest, she still covered her face with a silk scarf.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chu Huan gently lifted the edge of the quilt, and saw Su Niang's hand, it was really swollen, although it didn't fester, but the color was already dark blue.

He was about to reach out to hold Su Niang's hand, when his fingertips just touched, Su Niang's hand was like a frightened little rabbit, immediately retracted into the quilt, Chu Huan was stunned, and heard that Su Niang was a little hoarse The voice said: "Erlang, you... you can't touch... otherwise you will... die too...!" Her voice was not as sharp and clear as before, it was very hoarse, as if there was something in her throat.

Chu Huan didn't want Su Niang to fall asleep. Seeing her haggard appearance and hearing her hoarse voice, he thought about it, but forced a smile and said, "What nonsense, who said you will die...!"

"You...you don't have to lie to me...!" Although Su Niang was covered with a silk scarf, she still seemed afraid of being seen by Chu Huan like this, so she turned her face inside, facing Chu Huan from the back of her head, "Erlang, old man I have said that my life... I know it, they don't know what disease I have, but...but I know it...!"

Chu Huan wanted to hold Su Niang's hand, but Su Niang shrank her hand under the quilt to prevent him from touching it. He could only hold his face and did not let Su Niang see the expression on his face. He tried his best to calm himself, and said softly: "Su Niang, don't think about it, it's not as serious as you think, I have already consulted the doctor here, they are discussing how to diagnose and treat, and they will come up with a solution soon... !"

"Erlang, you...don't lie to me, although I...although I am stupid, I know what I look like...in my heart." Su Niang sighed softly: "When I was on the road, I was very scared... I know I'm going to die, I'm afraid I'm... I'm going to die on the road, I can't even see you for the last time, now... Now I'm not afraid, you are beside me, I... I'm not afraid...! "

"It's my fault." Chu Huan's voice was choked with sobs, "I shouldn't have brought you to the Northwest, it's all my fault...!"

"Don't...don't talk nonsense, this...this is human life...!" Su Niang seemed to want to look at Chu Huan, and slowly turned her head, looking at Chu Huan through the silk scarf, "Wherever you go Take me by your side, in fact... In fact, I am very happy in my heart..., you are my man, and to be by your side, that is... that is my blessing...!" At this point, Su Niang was furious again Coughing, Chu Huan hurriedly got up, went to serve tea, and went to help Su Niang up when she got to the bed, Su Niang had already exclaimed: "No... don't come close to me, you can't...!"

As if she had been greatly frightened, when she saw Chu Huan approaching, she tried her best to go inside, for fear that Chu Huan would touch her.

Chu Huan sighed, sat down again, and said, "I said I would take good care of you, but...but it's my fault for making you suffer."

"Don't say that...!" Su Niang was relieved when she saw Chu Huan sat down and didn't continue to approach, "Erlang, my illness can't be cured... I've heard people say before that this Yes... this is an incurable disease, I will die soon, I can't... I can't implicate you... But although I am not afraid, but... I am a little worried...!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"When mother left, let me take good care of you by your side, but... I can't do it in the future... If you are alone, will no one take care of you?" Su Niang's eyes under the silk scarf looked at Chu Huan, flickering slightly, "Will they...will they treat you well...?" Then he sighed quietly: "Actually, I married you, but I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a wife...you are always outside, I...I want to take care of you but I can't...Erlang, you...do you know what my greatest wish is?"

Chu Huan's eyes were red. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his voice was still choked up, and he asked softly, "What wish do you have?"

"Actually... in fact, my greatest wish is... just...!" Su Niang seemed to be hesitant, but she still said, "Actually, my greatest wish is to give birth to a pair of children for you...for you... , as a man's daughter-in-law, if...if you can't bear children for your husband, then...you're not a good wife, I...I want to be a good wife...!"
