Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 173 Someone Deliberately Caused It
"Wonderful, this can greatly reduce the chance of being infected." The old doctor praised.

Feng Qi took out the prevention plan she wrote from her arms and handed it to the old doctor: "This is sorted out from my master's relics, you can see if it is useful!"

The old doctor immediately took it respectfully. He took a quick look and said, "This method is absolutely effective. Although there is no special effect, it can definitely prevent the disease from spreading."

Xuanyuan Yi finally showed joy: "Really? Then as long as the infected people are gathered together, those who are not infected can be guaranteed to be safe."

Feng Qi nodded: "How many people are infected now?"

Xuanyuan Yi said: "At first it was the Orion from Dayang Village who got sick. After hunting in the mountains, he developed a fever and then had diarrhea. Although he took antidiarrheal medicine, the condition did not improve but became serious. He died that night.

After the burial, people in the village began to get sick one after another, which eventually became an epidemic. "

Feng Qi sighed, it was all caused by poverty, if he had money, he could look after some doctors, and he would not become hysterical in the end.

"Then where is Orion buried?" Feng Qi asked.

"It's on the top of the mountain, on the edge of the Little Black Dragon Pool." Xuanyuan Yi replied, apparently having visited it.

Feng Qi frowned: "Who would use the poolside as a cemetery? How much was buried there?"

Xuanyuan Yi shook his head: "It's not a cemetery, it's just that Mrs. Orion has heard someone say that Feng Shui is good there."

Feng Qi looked at the sky and said, "Are you tired? If not, take me to have a look!"

Although Xuanyuan Yi is tired, he will not refuse Feng Qi's request, besides, he trusts Feng Qi very much in his heart, maybe she can see something!
"Not tired, I'll take you there."

Feng Qi nodded, this is really not the time to rest: "Take two people, take a hoe, try to collect the dead bodies together and burn them, otherwise the hysteria will not be cured, and the people in these villages will be burned to death. "

Thinking of the burning of the village in the previous life, Feng Qi felt uncomfortable.

Xuanyuan Yi frowned: "This... I am afraid that those family members are not happy, after all, it is safe for people to go to the ground."

Ancient times were very particular about funerals. They had to be buried in good condition. Only when they were buried in the earth would they feel reincarnated. If the body was burned by fire, they would not be able to be reincarnated.

There is a saying that makes it clear that "destroying bones and raising ashes" is the most vicious thing. It is usually used on people who have blood and deep hatred.

How could Feng Qi not know the difficulties involved, she said seriously: "If the epidemic is not well controlled, the imperial court will not just sit and wait for death, when the time comes, not only will the bodies of the dead be lost, but even the living will suffer the same fate."

Xuanyuan Yi said with luck in his heart: "After all, I am here with many imperial doctors, and they dare not mess around."

Feng Qi's eyes widened: "Don't forget, there are people who want you to die quickly, as long as you say in the emperor's ear that you are dying of hysteria, can the emperor let these people go when he is sad?"

Xuanyuan Yi's heart trembled, even the faces of several imperial doctors in the room were colorful.

Xuanyuan Yi gritted his teeth, if someone spread false news back, the emperor would be furious, and it is not impossible to let these people be buried with him, in short, it will not end well.

No wonder Feng Qi sent him a letter to not let him come, just because he was afraid that he would fall into a trap, but it is meaningless to say anything now, this disaster must be ended as soon as possible.

Feng Qi also knows that the current situation is not good, and he can't put pressure on Xuanyuan Yi anymore. The burning of the corpse seems to be unworkable, after all, if the hearts of the people are not appeased, it will bring him a bad side.

"Forget it, what the common people want is only the bones, if the bones can be properly buried, that's fine too!" Feng Qi slowed down her voice.

Xuanyuan Yi nodded: "As long as there are still bones, those physical bodies will not be taken seriously."

Feng Qi thought for a while and said, "Use lime. The Sanctuary Kingdom has long used lime to speed up the rotting of sick and dead poultry, and it can also inhibit the spread of the disease. We also use lime to dispose of the corpses, and then sprinkle it in the village. How about a layer of lime?"

Xuanyuan Yi's eyes lit up: "Okay, but what is this lime?"

Feng Qi was startled, this lime was introduced to Xuanyuan Kingdom a few years later, and now people here don't know what lime is.

"Well... just burn some stones and grind them into powder, but I don't know if we have that kind of limestone here. It's okay if there are a lot of shells."

Xuanyuan Yi asked: "Are the shells also ground into powder after being burned?"

"Well, it's easier to grind into powder after firing." Feng Qi replied.

"Okay, I see. I will order them to bring the shells. As for the limestone, I will investigate what it is later." Xuanyuan Yi could only use his own hidden guards, otherwise the news would not have spread at all.

"Let's go, let's go to the mountain first!" Feng Qi said.

The two took two villagers up the mountain together. There used to be a volcanic eruption here. There is a pool of water on the top of the mountain, and the pool is the source of water for this area.

Orion's body was buried not far from the water source, but what Feng Qi saw was that the grave was dug up, and Orion's body was nowhere to be found.

"What's going on?" Feng Qi asked.

Xuanyuan Yi was also very surprised: "Could it be that a wild beast dug it open?"

Feng Qi looked at the soil around the tomb, it didn't look like a wild animal had dug it up, but it looked like a hoe dug it up, it seemed that the corpse had been stolen artificially.

But what did the person who stole the corpse think, why did he steal the corpse of a hunter?Or is there any secret on the Orion's body?
"There is a situation here!" A villager shouted.

Feng Qi and Xuanyuan Yi walked over and saw a rotting corpse soaked in the water, the bones and flesh were about to come off, it was obvious that it was a person.

The villagers hooked up the corpse with a hoe, and Feng Qi felt a little sick in her heart. Fortunately, she hadn't had any water or food when she came here, otherwise she must have vomited it all up by now.

This water pool is the source of drinking water for several villages down the mountain, even the water in the well is related to this place.

"This seems to be the Orion's corpse." Xuanyuan Yi's expression was also not good.

Enduring the pain, Feng Qi took out the silver needle and stabbed the corpse, the silver needle immediately turned black, no matter it was corpse poison or something, this must not be soaked anymore.

The two villagers were a little terrified. They only knew that the black needles were highly poisonous, and they had been drinking the water here, so they suspected that they were also poisoned.

Feng Qi said: "Incinerate the body first."

Xuanyuan Yi nodded, cut first and played later, even if he was discovered by Orion's family, he couldn't say anything.

"Help me, burn this poisonous thing first, and then rest the Orion's grave. Don't say this, or it will cause panic and people will blame you."

The two villagers nodded, expressing that they would not speak out, and together they fished up the body and burned it on the spot.

Feng Qi said in a low voice: "I think this plague was deliberately caused by someone."
