The faces of the acquaintances on the side turned blue. Although he was also very puzzled in his heart about what the princess took out, but the maid was right, the princess had just said that if people couldn't stand it, they would die, and it was the woman herself who agreed that the princess let her child drink it.

Now that she has lost her child, it is common for a mother to go crazy, and Tongzhi is not unsympathetic, but she is the princess, if the princess is angry...... The husband is angry but the blood is splashed five steps, the son of heaven is angry but the corpse is million, a poor woman is compared with the princess of the county, it is like a grasshopper shaking a tree, the princess can take her life with a word.

Tongzhi was worried that if the princess wanted to kill this woman, whether he would intercede or not, he saw that the princess silently turned around and walked out of the house, and did not seem to have any intention of curing the woman's sin. He hurriedly followed, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard the princess say to Lao Langzhong: "Lao Langzhong also saw that some people can't stand this medicine, and they don't dare to say what the effect of taking it is." Now I will hand it over to Lao Langzhong, if you see a dead patient, explain the situation to your family, and let them choose whether to take it or not. ”

Fu Lao Langzhong looked at the jar of medicine, and it was not indirectly for a while, and he said after a while: "Princess, what kind of medicine is this?" "Princess Fang Cai said a medicine name as if it was called "green plum drink", but there must be no green plum in this thing, is it because of the color that this name was given?

"I can't tell." Taohua collected a lot of moldy melons and fruits along the way, and finally came up with such a jar, where to make it clear for a while, "This is a trial drug, in a hurry, it is difficult to be thoughtful, just do your best." "If she had known that she would have crossed, she would have squeezed out her spare time to repair the pharmacy again.

Fu Laolang hesitated for a moment, but still took the jar, trembling as if holding a pot of charcoal: "That princess is now-"

"I'm going to see the smallpox patients, and then I'm going to find out the source of the anthrax."

Is this to leave the endemic area? Fu Laolang was disappointed for a while, but his face didn't show it: "Then does the princess have a good cure for smallpox?" ”

Taohua shook her head: "For patients who have smallpox, I don't have any panacea. Keep in mind that this medicine can only be given to people who have anthrax, not smallpox. ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked through several houses. There are all patients with intestinal anthrax and pulmonary anthrax, and as for the few patients with meningeal anthrax, they have basically died within three days of the onset of the disease, but none of them have been seen.

Taohua gave medicine to two patients with pulmonary anthrax and one intestinal anthrax here, and one of them, a skinny middle-aged man with skin and bones quickly had an allergic reaction like the child just now, but it was about an adult whose resistance was slightly stronger, and after a session of acupuncture, he finally woke up, but he also looked dying, and it looked worse than just now.

By the time Taohua arrived at the smallpox patient's residence, the whole village had turned from the excitement of "the princess of the county is here, the miracle doctor is here" to disappointment - the princess of the county did not come back to life as everyone expected, but instead healed one person on the spot, and almost killed another. Although she chose all the patients who had not improved with the previous medication, after all, none of them died, and some of them did not even look like they were about to die.

The smallpox ward was basically full of children, and Dieyi followed her all the way, and her stomach was empty, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw the blisters and acne rashes on those children's bodies, and she turned her head and wanted to take a few more mouthfuls of the masked white.

Taohua's face was also covered with a white cloth, and her voice was a little muffled, but the sternness in her tone did not diminish at all: "Swallow it back for me!" Don't pull down the cloth that covers your face in this area! ”

Dieyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stopped her hand stiffly, barely stood up straight, and watched Taohua walk to those children without any taboo to check the acne blisters on her body one by one, and changed the prescriptions used by several children, and gave a few instructions. However, those who took care of the children didn't know if they already knew what was happening in the anthrax quarantine area, and they were all indifferent to Taohua's words, and some even became obviously impatient, and looked straight at Mint and the others, as if they were afraid that they would take out another jar of strange decoction.

Here, only Fu Lao Langzhong followed the whole process, and he saw some clues from Taohua's changed prescription - this princess of the county is indeed smarter, bolder and more accurate than Langzhong here in terms of medicine, and the name of the miracle doctor is not false.

However, the more this is the case, the more Fu Lao Langzhong feels that he has no confidence: if the princess of the county is so skilled in medicine and can't cure this epidemic, wouldn't the northwest be dangerous? This anthrax is better, most of it is on the hands and feet and face, and after taking the drug, eight adults can be cured. But the disease of smallpox started with nine deaths. If it is raging, the entire Northwest will be left without a hitch.

"Princess, you really can't do it?" Fu Lao Langzhong still couldn't help but ask again.

Taohua stopped and muttered: "I have no way to cure smallpox, but now there is a way to make people who have not had smallpox no longer have smallpox, and the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the prince are raising this matter." ”

"What? Is there such a way? Fu Laolang's eyes lit up. If a good cure can prevent smallpox, it is better than some panacea for smallpox.

"When the preparations are stopped, I need all the Langzhong in the northwest to help."

Fu Lao Langzhong nodded like pounding garlic: "If there is such a method, the old man will do his best, and dare not work!" ”

It wasn't until she walked out of the village that Taohua took off the white cloth covering her face and threw it on the ground: "It's all burned." ”

Dieyi also ripped off the cloth with a white face. A little further from the village were several large pits in which the bodies of the sick and dead were being burned, and their families were crying in the distance, and a few were trying to pounce uncontrollably, all of whom were stopped by the white-clothed officials.

Momoka looked over there. In her previous life, everyone was cremated, so this scene touched her less. But obviously, everyone in the entourage felt very uncomfortable, after all, at this time, it was important to leave a whole corpse in the ground, and burning it to ashes like this was a feeling of filing bones and ashes.

"Don't look at it, let's go." Taohua was the first to board the carriage, "The sooner you find the source of infection, the sooner you can stop the spread of the epidemic." ”

Shen Shu and Taohua Bing split into two ways, and there were naturally people in Dingbei Houfu who sent news back every day.

"The princess of the county killed people in the epidemic area?" Mrs. Dingbei Hou was watching a pair of twin sons writing, and she couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard the news sent, "What's the matter?" People are dying every day in the epidemic area, how can it be said that the princess of the county is killed? ”

The person who came back from delivering the news bowed his head and said, "It is indeed the princess of the county who gave the patient a kind of medicine, and the person died." The princess herself said that those who could not bear this medicine would die if they took it, so it could only be used to treat those who were bound to die. ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou breathed a sigh of relief: "Since it is a patient who is bound to die, then if you don't take this medicine, you will die, how can it be said that the princess of the county is killed?" "The princess of the county came back to the northwest to treat the epidemic, but the medicine killed people, if this word spreads, Dingbei Houfu and Shen Shu will be affected.

The person who came snorted and said: "But some people say that whether the patient is certain to die or not, it is the princess of the county who has the final say......" That is to say, the patient that the princess said will die may not be the one who will die.

"Who said that?" Mrs. Dingbei Hou's face was gloomy, "Go and check quickly!" This person is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, I am afraid that he will not have a good heart! "In the northwest borderland, I am most afraid of people's instability, Dingbei Hou Mansion has been guarded for several generations, and I don't know how many ill-intentioned people have used various events to spread rumors and incite the people, so as soon as the news was reported, Mrs. Dingbei Hou immediately thought of this.

The person who came said with a bitter face: "I've already gone to check, but I haven't seen any flaws yet." And...... It was indeed after the princess of the county fed the medicine that the child died. The moment the medicine was fed, the woman of that family cried so much that the whole village could hear it, and the princess of the county did not let people stop it in time, and now it ...... It's already known to everyone. ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou's face was gloomy: "The princess didn't stop it, what about the others?" ”

The visitor bowed his head and was silent. The princess herself said that this medicine may save people, but it may also kill people, and many people have heard it, how can this be stopped?

Mrs. Dingbei sent away the messenger, and in a blink of an eye, she saw a pair of sons who threw down their pens while she was talking, and whispered there head to head, looking naughty but vibrant, and suddenly felt a tearing pain in her heart.

The medicine that Jiang Shi made can cure people to death if they treat anthrax, and wouldn't it be even more ...... Her son is only eight years old, only eight years old!

"Mother, have you heard, cousin-in-law, she killed someone-" Yin Ru ran into the room with a huff, and the next moment she was glared at by Mrs. Dingbei Hou: "What nonsense!" ”

"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense, it's all spread outside, cousin-in-law—" Yin Ru was halfway through her words before she was frightened back by her mother's eyes.

Mrs. Dingbei Hou had a calm face: "What time is it!" You are talking nonsense like this, do you want the people in the northwest to be unstable, and those patients who want to be isolated are afraid of being treated to death and refuse to stay in the place of isolation? Or do you want to let anyone who is sick refuse to be known by the government, and they all hide quietly at home, or flee elsewhere? ”

Yin Ru opened her mouth and didn't speak. She naturally understands that if the people no longer believe in the government, then the spread of the epidemic will really get out of control. I'm afraid that at that time, even the Dingbei Hou Mansion can only use coercive means, and the entire northwest will be in chaos. In case it is taken advantage of by the Northern Barbarians again......

Mrs. Dingbei Hou saw her daughter lower her head, so she slowed down a little and said: "You are not young, you should also learn to use some thoughts, what kind of system is it to make such a fuss?" You also know that the Jiang family is now your cousin-in-law, if she is not good, what is good about Zhengming, and what is good about our Dingbei Hou Mansion? ”

Yin Ru bit her lip, and finally couldn't hold back for a while: "She shouldn't have married her cousin in the first place!" ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou sighed: "Don't say this again." "The Yin family thinks like this, but the family matter is designated by the emperor, do you think the emperor is wrong when you oppose it? Besides—"Your cousin himself has taken a fancy to the Jiang family." ”

Yin Ru bit her lips tighter, but she still didn't hold back her impulse: "What did my cousin like about her?" Will it be good for her? I'm really fascinated by the vixen! ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou glared at her: "You can also say these words?" Not a spark of decency! "Jiang is indeed well-born, tall and tall, heroic and hearty is not inferior to the Rouge of the North, but the eyebrows and eyes are bright, and the delicate and delicate are not available to the daughters of the Northwest. Mrs. Dingbei Hou grew up in the northwest since she was a child, and of course she has seen beautiful women, but when you talk about it in detail, they are not as bookish and elegant as Jiang Shi's bright eyes.

However, if she was just born beautiful, Shen Shu might not be able to look at her. The principle of marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, Mrs. Dingbei Hou thought that she had also taught her nephew, and she would never teach a shallow person with only skin in her eyes. However, this time, when the Jiang family came to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, they seemed to be ignorant of the cold reception of everyone in the open and secret, and they were calm, and they could also propose to the Dingbei Hou the idea of avoiding pox by planting pox. Even if her method didn't work, Mrs. Dingbei Hou felt that with this calm strength alone, the Jiang family was not a simple person.

"Mother, but now that she has even been cured of anthrax patients, I am afraid that any method of planting pox is not reliable. When the time comes, my father asked the people of the northwest to come to plant pox, but in the end someone died, how to explain to the people of the northwest, how to explain to the court? ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou felt a pain in her heart, and couldn't help but glance into the side room again: "Your father has his own opinions. ”

"Mother!" Yin Ru stomped her feet angrily, "Why is Dad so confused-"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Dingbei Hou raised her eyebrows suddenly, "Don't talk about your father like that!" He carries the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the northwest on his shoulders, when has he ever been confused! ”

Yin Ru was excited and said the wrong thing for a while, and suddenly came to her senses when she was yelled at by her mother, and she lowered her head: "Mother, I was wrong, I just, I'm just afraid that this matter won'......t work out."

Mrs. Dingbei Hou said coldly: "If it doesn't work, your father will naturally not do it rashly." ”

"But-" Yin Ru said puzzledly, "How can Dad know if this thing will be done or not?" In her opinion, Taohua can't cure anthrax, and then smallpox definitely won't work, isn't my father thinking so?

Mrs. Dingbei Hou lowered her eyes, and her heart seemed to be torn in pain: "Naturally, I will find someone to try it first." ”

"Who's going to try?" Yin Ru's eyes widened, "Which family is willing to send their children to try this?" ”

"You get out." Mrs. Dingbei Hou turned her face, "Have you finished reading today's book?" "Although the Dingbei Hou Mansion is a martial heirloom, the children must also read and write, even if they can't be Confucian generals, they can't just be reckless.

Yin Ru muttered in a low voice: "Now that such a big thing has happened, where can I still read a book......" She was almost sitting on pins and needles in the room, "Mother, what can I do?" I couldn't sit still in the room at this point. ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou sighed for a while: "You are not too young, you should come out and do something." Now that your sister-in-law is pregnant, these things at home alone are enough for her to handle, and the outside affairs can no longer be handed over to her, so it's okay for you to come out. Your cousin-in-law has proposed to set up a temporary charity hall to take care of the children whose families have been quarantined for the time being, so you might as well do it. ”

There are good churches in the northwest, but those who take in are orphans in the army who have no relatives, and the children of the common people are finally sent to relatives, because they can't afford those many people.

Now the parents of this group of children are still alive, but they need to be taken care of temporarily, and it is a bit chaotic to send them directly to the good hall. Moreover, according to Jiang's statement, these children may already have the germs on their bodies, and they cannot be mixed with other children casually, so they must be taken care of in another place, and if they are found to be sick, they must be sent back to the quarantine area immediately.

"You don't have to do it yourself, but it has to be arranged, and if there is an illness, you must not delay. It's a big deal, what might you do? Although her daughter is fourteen, she has never been on her own, and Mrs. Dingbei Hou feels uneasy when she thinks about it.

"Yes!" Yin Ru immediately puffed up her chest, "My daughter must do it carefully." "If she can share her parents' worries, and let her cousin know that she can also do things, she is no worse than Jiang's, she will naturally do her best!

Mrs. Dingbei Hou couldn't help frowning when she saw her excited appearance: "This is not child's play, if you despise this matter, it is better not to do it." lest a negligence delay those children, I am afraid that they will also die! ”

Yin Ru hurriedly put away the excitement between her eyebrows, lowered her head and said, "Mother, I know, I will definitely be careful." ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou sighed, took her hand and said: "One is to be careful about those children, and the other is to be careful about the people on errands, after all, if those children are sick, they will also be passed on to others, what care rules written by your cousin-in-law must be followed, this is not the time to be angry." ”

Yin Ru felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but she also knew the severity, and nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I will never be negligent." ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou let go of her hand, and saw her daughter fly out like a bird, and couldn't help but sigh heavily. It happened that Leng Shi came in, heard his mother-in-law sigh, and came over with a cup of hot tea and said, "Don't worry, mother, although my sister is more lively and jumpy, she is not such a person who doesn't know the importance of it." ”

Dingbei Hou was going to plant pox for a pair of young sons, and now the two of them knew about it in the house, and the rest of the people didn't hear a single rumor. At this moment, Mrs. Dingbeihou looked at her daughter-in-law with a big belly, and she couldn't say anything about the pain in her heart, so she only said: "You sit down, pour tea and have your own girls." There are a lot of things going on in the house these days, and you are also working hard, so don't do these false rituals anymore. Girls, don't I know your filial piety? ”

Leng said with a smile while sitting down: "It's just pouring tea, I can't be tired, and I don't dare to say that it's filial piety." Recently, there have been a lot of things, and I have a heavy body, so I can't worry about my parents. If my mother says this again, I'm going to blush. She has not made any movement for several years since she got married, and her mother-in-law has never said anything, even her mother-in-law has hinted several times that she will put someone in Yin Jun's room, but her mother-in-law has not done so. Although Leng knew that her husband had refused in front of her mother-in-law, if her mother-in-law insisted on doing her own thing, it would be easy for her to come in. Mrs. Dingbei Hou did not do this, so the Leng family was grateful, and she became more and more respectful and filial to her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Dingbei Hou sighed and patted her hands: "You take care of the fetus and give birth to a few more children for Jun'er, which is the greatest filial piety." If she would never say such a thing before, but now that the two younger sons are facing a life-and-death situation, maybe they will never see each other again in a few days, and only one Yin Jun is left, still on the battlefield all the time, also risking his life. No matter how determined Mrs. Dingbei Hou is, she can't help but say these words of giving birth to children like an ordinary woman at this moment.

In the end, the daughter-in-law has to look at the in-laws' face, and the eyesight is better than being a daughter, Leng carefully found that the mother-in-law's eyes were red when she said this, although she immediately blocked her face by drinking tea, but when she put down the teacup, there was still a glimmer of water in her eyes, and she couldn't help but be startled, and said busily: "Mother, but what happened?" ”

It's useless to say it at the moment, Mrs. Dingbei Hou swallowed the bitterness that surged into her throat again, shook her head and said: "It's nothing, but seeing that Ru'er is also older, she will marry someone else's family in a few years, and she will have children, so she feels it and says it casually." ”

Yin Ru is the treasure of the entire Dingbei Hou Mansion, and the Leng family does not doubt it, and said with a smile: "My sister will definitely be able to marry a wishful husband-" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and his voice was cut off. However, she immediately found herself out of shape and hurriedly added, "When the time comes, when there is a granddaughter, my mother will be happy." ”

Mrs. Dingbei Hou laughed and said, "That's also someone else's child, what am I happy about." When you give birth to a grandchild and give it to me, I will be happy. She is also a keen person, Leng's pause did not escape her ears, and after a few words, she suddenly said, "Ru'er, what's the matter?" ”

Leng Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What did my mother say?" ”

"Ru'er has always been a little weird lately." Mrs. Dingbei Hou stared at her daughter-in-law, "She is good to you on weekdays, but did she say anything?" "When the daughter is older, she doesn't like to talk to her mother, Mrs. Dingbei Hou is busy with countless things outside, and she really can't take care of it, but the daughter-in-law is close to her daughter, and I am afraid that there will be any clues that will be revealed to the daughter-in-law.

Leng blushed, and after a while, he said: "Sister-sister seems to be closer to her cousin......"

Mrs. Dingbeihou's face changed, and she sighed for a while and said, "I'm afraid of this, and sure enough, ......"

Leng said cautiously: "Mother knows everything? "Then she still worked hard to hide it, and she had to try to persuade around the bend, and the co-authoring was in vain?

Mrs. Dingbei Hou sighed: "That's my daughter, no matter how blind I am, I can see some clues." It's just that Zhengming has decided to have a family affair since he was a child, and I often tell her that when she ......, "Yin Ru can understand, who knows that she still doesn't understand."

Leng said in a low voice: "Originally, there was no, when the Cui family died violently, my sister had a mind again...... "I will only be tempted when I have the opportunity to put it in front of me, but here I am tempted, and Shen Shu married Jiang again." The opportunity is gone, but can the seeds that sprout be retracted?

Mrs. Dingbei Hou closed her eyes and sighed long: "After this epidemic is calmed down, I will pick someone for this girl." "Her son is facing life and death, her daughter is trapped in love, her husband is anxious, God, when are you going to let people breathe a sigh of relief......
