The plague was originally infected by the palace maid who was buried on behalf of a noble concubine. It was only because the tea set she used was burned out and misused by a eunuch, which led to a series of incidents.

This disease begins with high fever, chills, and headache, followed by neck swelling and oozing of blood from the internal organs. The disease affects one person and affects one palace and one room, and everyone is at risk for a while.

Cheng Guibi led the concubines to burn incense and pray, but she did not receive mercy from God.The medical staff at the Tai Hospital are only a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the urgent needs at all.

Even if the emperor quickly called Wen Yu, Zhu Ji and You Cunxu, a group of capable officials, to discuss matters in the Xuanshi Palace, there was nothing he could do except isolate and block the source.

Under the anxiety, the emperor, who was already sick, gradually lost weight.

Unfortunately, Zheng E, who went on an outing to Shanglinyuan not long ago, was also infected with the terrible plague. To avoid chaos in the palace, she had to be moved out of the palace to recuperate.

When Wen Yu returned to Zhuoying Shui Pavilion, he also sighed. Even though he had a lot of dissatisfaction with Zheng Mao, in the end he felt guilty and pity for Zheng E.

He took Ti Zhen's hand and told her truthfully: "The princess was fine yesterday. This morning Yang Xuexin came to report that she had vomited all the food she had eaten and had a severe fever. She started talking nonsense at noon. .”

Ti Zhen asked: "Where is the imperial doctor? What did the imperial doctor say after seeing it?"

Wen Yu shook his head and said: "The plague this time is more severe than in previous years, and there are so many people infected in the city that the hospital is already overwhelmed. There is no cure, and who dares to go see it at this juncture? It's just ordinary people." It’s just medicine.”

He lifted the lid of the tea and blew it, "Now the princess has asked the emperor to move it to the palace."

Ti Zhen was slightly surprised, "If you move outside, it will be harder for the imperial doctor to take care of you."

Suddenly recalling some of his past, he smiled coldly, "I can see clearly now. Except for Queen Wen Cheng, who is sincere to the princess, no one in this palace treats her sincerely. Now the princess is helpless, and she doesn't even have a place to stay. There is no land. That being the case..."

She composed herself and said, "Why don't you go and plead with the emperor to let the princess recuperate in Shili Gallery under my name. The imperial doctor is too busy, at least we can ask Wu Binsheng to take a look at her."

When Wen Yu heard this, he decisively refused, "That's all for the rest, but Wu Binsheng was appointed by your father-in-law to carry out the pregnancy for you. If he goes to take care of the princess, what will you do if you have three pains and two pains? "

What's more, the plague is very contagious. Wu Binsheng went to Shili Gallery and could no longer enter and leave Shifu at will. However, the only one with the most skillful medical skills around Ti Zhen was Wu Binsheng.

Ti Zhen smiled gently, appearing extraordinarily indifferent, "Su Zhe and Song Hui's medical skills are enough to take care of me. What matters now is that the princess is in danger."

She pulled up a corner of his sleeve and said, "Even if it's not for Queen Wen Cheng's entrustment, it's still for the princess's care of me during the time I was in the palace."

Wen Yu was naturally a very kind person, not to mention that when he thought about the princess being orphaned and helpless, his compassion finally made him nod his head deeply.

After a moment of silence, he slowly took a breath and said, "In a few days, the emperor will ask me and the Three Prefectures to go to the city to provide disaster relief. I'm afraid I won't be able to come for a while."

As he spoke, he stroked her belly lovingly, "The disaster is serious outside, and it would be bad to pass it on to you and your children."

Ti Zhen Kuan said to him, "Just take care of yourself, we two are fine. If you are short of medicinal materials, just ask Guan Tong to go to Shifang to get them."

Wen Yu, who looked a little tired at first, suddenly felt his eyes drooping due to these words, "It would be better if we knew what medicinal materials were missing. At least it proves that there is a prescription. Now...it's just a blind man trying to figure out the elephant."

He turned his face away, and the late spring wind was slightly chilly, mixed with the smell of herbs, which caused a tight chill on his cheeks, and also depressed the atmosphere around him.

It wasn't until there was a sudden knock on the door that Wen Yu became slightly alert.

He frowned and asked, "Who?"

A mellow voice answered: "It's me."

Then the brocade curtain was raised, and Gu Kaikai closed his steps and came in. Ti Zhen just saw it clearly and hurriedly greeted him, "Wen Yuan, go and make a cup of tea for brother-in-law." For a moment, she was full of doubts about his arrival, "Brother-in-law, here... But what do you want to say about your sister?"

Gu Chang smiled warmly and said, "Of course your sister is fine. I have something to talk to Your Highness about."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked to the other side, "I was listening in front of the door just now. Is His Highness worried about the plague in the city?"

Wen Yu raised his eyelids and said, "Exactly.

Gu Chang said: "I went to work in the morning. When I came back, I took a look at the disaster relief area from a distance. I also heard the people below talking about the symptoms of the disease. I suddenly remembered the scene when I fled from the south to Longxi many years ago. That was the same epidemic that my hometown was experiencing today.”

He seemed to be thinking about the memory, "I still remember that there was a local doctor in our village. He used a silver needle to bleed the five fingers of those people, and then mixed the raw plaster and rhinoceros horn powder with water to cure them, but..."

He was also hesitant as he spoke, "But I don't remember exactly what medicine was added. It seems that there are still a few medicinal ingredients missing."

Wen Yu refused to listen, but after hearing the examples of healing, the joy of being saved slowly appeared on his face.

He asked: "Where is this person now?"

Gu Chang said "Huh", "That man later died in the rebellion and has already passed away."

Wen Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes became cold for a moment.

Ti Zhen listened on the sidelines and briefly thought about the merits. "Gypsum is common, but rhinoceros horn powder... although it can be found, there are so many people infected with the epidemic that the warehouse may not be enough for a city."

Gu Chang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, rhinoceros horn powder is precious, but since there is a prescription, I guess there is a substitute. It's just that I have to keep trying."

After a moment of silence, he looked at Wen Yu again, "Besides, although treatment is important, the more important thing is to prevent problems before they occur. The most important things to seal at the moment are water wells and rice grains, and the second is to provide food to the people. Distribute mugwort to repel insects and mice.”

Although there is no certain solution, after finally tearing a hole, after searching high and low, there is a trace.

There is no solution, but it can still give people a glimmer of hope.

Wen Yu agreed to what he said, "Brother-in-law is absolutely right. I will go to the palace to report to His Majesty. Regarding the epidemic situation in the city, it is better to make quick decisions."

He raised his eyes with secret praise, "I'm afraid it's not my brother-in-law, but now I'm helpless."

Gu Chang bowed politely and said politely: "Your Highness, you don't need to thank me. I came from a poor background. It was Xianyu who didn't dislike me, and His Highness valued me that made me what I am today. I come from the bottom, so I naturally understand the situation at the bottom better. As long as Your Highness There is nothing better than being able to sincerely love the people at the bottom."

Wen Yu put his finger on his lips, "It's just that the current situation needs to be considered in the long term. Since my brother-in-law has seen the epidemic before, he may have more ideas for subsequent deployment."

Gu Chang understood immediately, "Your Highness has needs, and I am willing to follow you."

They were talking and Ti Zhen lifted the tea lid to drink tea when he suddenly saw a delicate figure standing outside the window. He didn't know when he came over.

She was almost startled, and her tone of voice became even more serious as she said, "Who is outside?"

Immediately the sound in the room suddenly stopped.

Ti Zhen walked quickly, opened the door, and looked around, but did not see any trace.When he lowered his head, there was only one pearl flower lying on the ground, shimmering.

There was a buzzing sound in my head, and then there was Haohao Changfeng.
