The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 370 Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is ill

At the end of the third year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly suffered from a severe cold and his body became extremely weak.

Wei Ning immediately took Chun Boren to the Jiaofang Hall in the harem. Chun Boren made a diagnosis and told Wei Ning that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was most likely to have the plague.

After hearing the news, the entire harem was shocked.

Wei Ning seemed to have lost his backbone for a moment, and sat beside Emperor Wu of Han's bed in despair. Even Chun Boren vaguely reminded Wei Ning to leave, but Wei Ning didn't hear it.

Chun Boren still didn't know what kind of plague Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had, but the plague must be contagious, and he did not dare to let Weining stay here any longer.

"Boy!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was lying on the bed, trying hard to maintain his majesty. Even though he was very weak now, he still said to Wei Ning with great energy: "You are going to fall. Who will govern the country?"

"Don't you understand what he said? Get out!"

Wei Ning hurriedly took Emperor Wu of Han's hand and said with red and swollen eyes: "It will be okay, it will be okay."

The scene of losing his mother seemed to appear in front of Weining again. No matter how he grew up over the years, he was still a teenager and would still be vulnerable when a loved one was sick.

He had already lost a relative and did not want to lose Emperor Wu of Han again.

Seeing the strong concern and worry on Weining's face, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tried his best to pull his hand away, waved his hand decisively and said: "Get out!"

"Come back when I'm better!"

Chun Boren hurriedly came over to help Wei Ning and said: "Your Highness, please leave quickly. If you are infected..."

His voice was very soft, not daring to be heard by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Ning nodded and followed Chun Boren to leave Jiaofang Hall.

Wei Zifu was waiting outside anxiously. When he saw Wei Ning coming out, he hurriedly asked: "What happened to your Majesty?"

Wei Zifu's face was full of worry. She had served Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, and the husband and wife had a deep love. Now when she saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly falling ill, she was at a loss for words.

Wei Ning held Wei Zifu's sleeve and said, "Fourth aunt... the plague."

"Plague...plague?"

Wei Zifu's face turned as pale as paper, his vision went dark, and he fainted.

Wei Ning hurriedly asked the maid to come over and take care of Wei Zifu. Chun Boren held an umbrella and walked with Wei Ning in the Weiyang Palace City in the heavy snow.

Wei Ning thought for a moment and said to Chun Boren: "Find two eunuchs to serve my father tonight."

"One was wearing a cotton mask and one was not."

"The cotton mask will be given to you later."

Weining wanted to test whether cotton masks could isolate the plague virus.

After a pause, Wei Ning asked Chun Boren again: "Do you know what the plague is?"

"Why did you suddenly become infected with the plague?"

Chun Boren felt that it was most likely the plague that His Majesty contracted during his inspection in the north. As for what kind of plague, he couldn't tell clearly.

Nowadays, the medical technology in Han Dynasty is not yet developed, and people don't know much about the plague. In previous years, if you got the plague, you had to rely on yourself.

"Can it be cured?"

Chun Boren sighed: "I know very little about the plague, and it is almost impossible to prescribe the right medicine..."

"I deserve to die."

Wei Ning did not embarrass Chun Boren and signaled him to return to the Imperial Medical Office first. Wei Ning did not make a big announcement about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly suffering from the plague. If the officials of the foreign court knew that the emperor was suffering from the plague, it would most likely cause unnecessary commotion.

Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had notified the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers yesterday to let Weining continue to govern in his place. He himself needed to rest for a while.

As soon as Wei Ning returned to Qilin Hall with complicated thoughts, Zhao Zhou came over anxiously and said to Wei Ning: "Your Highness, there is a plague in Hejian Mansion."

Sure enough, he was infected during the northern tour.

Wei Ning asked Zhao Zhou, "How many people are there?"

Zhao Zhou said: "Currently, several villages on the left side of the Yellow River are infected, and it is estimated that there are thousands of people."

The local government agencies know how to respond to the plague. When the earth dragon turned over, Weining gave the local government five disaster response measures. If the local government agencies intervene, they should be able to prevent the widespread spread of the plague.

Wei Ning asked Zhao Zhou to pay close attention to the situation of the people in Hejian Mansion. This is all he can do now.

Weining still doesn't know what this plague is.

As soon as Zhao Zhou left, people from Wei Qing and Huo Qubing came to their mansions and told Wei Ning that both Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were infected with the plague.

Wei Ning rubbed his eyebrows and waved the other person to leave.

Early the next morning, Chun Boren found Wei Ning with a look of shock on his face.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

He saw that Weining's eyes were bloodshot and his energy was listless. It was obvious that he had not slept all night.

"The country needs you, you can't collapse from exhaustion."

Wei Ning nodded and said, "It's okay to be alone. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Chun Boren said hurriedly: "The results of the experiment came out last night. The little eunuch wearing the cotton mask you made is really safe, and the other little eunuch is infected."

Wei Ning hummed and ordered his eunuchs to go to the harem to distribute cotton masks.

Then he informed the Ministry of Industry and asked it to quickly make masks and send them to Hejian Prefecture to prevent the spread of the plague.

"You should observe your father's symptoms carefully today and tell me later."

Chun Boren hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I obey the order!"

Weining still has political affairs to deal with, and he can't go to the harem to visit Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty yet.

After Wei Zifu learned that cotton masks could prevent the plague, he immediately brought the mask to Jiaofang Palace to visit Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, she was surprised to find that Zhao Jieyu, the wife of Gou Yi, was already here to accompany Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

When Zhao Jieyu saw Wei Zifu arriving, she hurriedly saluted and said, "I have met Queen Wei."

Wei Zifu fainted because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ill. He slept for a long time before waking up. When he woke up, he came to visit Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.

Wei Zifu asked anxiously: "How is your Majesty?"

Zhao Jieyu said: "I woke up intermittently several times. My whole body was alternately hot and cold, and I was shivering all the time."

"I'm going out first. I have something to tell you. Your Majesty has never had an appetite. I'm cooking gruel next to you. Your Majesty has just woken up and it's not suitable to eat now. I'll feed you after you have some tea."

Wei Zifu frowned slightly, glanced at Zhao Jieyu lightly, and said with a complicated expression, "I understand."

Did she do it intentionally or unintentionally? His Majesty woke up, and she reminded me that it was understandable to take care of the details of His Majesty, but the meaning behind her words was that she was saying to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that she, Queen Wei, had just come here now.

Isn't this just another way of saying that I don't care about His Majesty's life or death?
Wei Zifu didn't know whether he was intentional or not, so he was more wary of this concubine. If she was intentional, it was enough to show that this woman was not simple!
Wei Zifu has been in the palace for more than ten years. She has followed Chen Ajiao along the way. She is extremely familiar with the struggles in the palace. She can catch any little thought.

But now that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still ill, she didn't think much about it and just thought that Zhao Jieyu made an unintentional mistake.
