Don't mess with the stupid concubine

Chapter 84 Empress, let me serve you? 3
"This..." Sima Chu suddenly felt that he agreed too quickly, the woman didn't even care about the priceless treasure, if she asked for help, it must be a big deal, it seems that he will have a headache in the future.

At this time, the symptoms of the plague had already appeared, and the imperial physicians diagnosed the infected people through visual inspection and pulse diagnosis by hanging silk, but there was no result for a long time.

Infected people one by one, although drinking the Niuhuang Baicao soup prepared by the doctors temporarily slowed the deterioration of the disease, but if the rescue method is not found in time, those infected villagers may not survive today.

Sima Chu was a little anxious: "Emperor doctor, why haven't you prescribed the right medicine after so long?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me. This plague is different from common diseases. This is the first time I have seen it. I really can't figure out where the cause of the disease is. Therefore, I can't prescribe medicine on my own."

Caiyi suddenly thought of it and said, "Emperor physician, this may have something to do with the frog... because the first person to get sick was infected by drinking the stewed frog, or it was the water..."

"Frog? Water?" Sima Chu also felt that the problem probably lies here, so he ordered the soldiers: "Come on, hurry up to the field to catch some live frogs, and bring half a bucket of water from the mountain stream."

"It's the emperor!"

Soon, the soldiers brought back the two items and handed them over to the imperial physicians for examination...

The imperial physicians disemboweled the big frogs they caught one by one, and then tested them separately with silver needles. Except for a few parasites, the result they got was——non-toxic!
"How could this happen? Even the imperial physician couldn't find out the reason, we are dead..." The mood of the villagers fluctuated again.

Sima Chu said to the Chief Physician: "Since we can't find out the reason, are there other countermeasures?"

The imperial physician panicked and said, "Your Majesty, my humble minister...no..."

Before the imperial physician finished the word "incompetent", Caiyi immediately stopped the imperial physician and said, "The imperial physician has practiced medicine for many years, naturally there is nothing that cannot be resolved, come here, go to the fields and hillsides to see if there is any abnormality."

"Yes, ma'am!" A group of imperial guards quickly dispersed and ran towards the farmland and hillside.

Sima Chu admired Caiyi's performance very much. If she hadn't intercepted the imperial physician's incompetent words in time, the situation would have been difficult to control.

Soon, a soldier reported: "Report to the emperor, a large number of dead rats appeared on the north slope..."

The imperial physician suddenly regained his spirits: "Could it be the plague!?"

Caiyi said: "Dare to ask the imperial physician, are the symptoms of the plague the same as those of the common people?"

The imperial physician shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know that the symptoms of the plague are not the same. During the infection process of the mice, the epidemic will continue to worsen, and at the same time, there will be mutations."

Sima Chu said: "Since that's the case, the imperial physician should quickly prescribe a prescription to save the patient."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Caiyi's dignified face, Sima Chu asked with concern: "Queen, what are you thinking about?"

Caiyi said: "It's nothing, I just find it strange that this plague broke out while drinking the stewed frog, logically speaking, if it's not a water problem, it must be related to the frog and not the mouse ..."

Half an hour later, the traditional Chinese medicine for plague has been boiled, and the imperial doctor personally let the sick villagers take it, and wait to see the curative effect.

Suddenly, those who had taken the decoction opened their mouths and vomited wildly, their faces turned from green to bloodless pale, and the dark spots on their bodies also intensified.
