The farther you go northwest, the more frightening it becomes, not far from Kyoto, where you can still see lush green farms, bustling villages and towns, and merchants and pedestrians, but gradually they see half of the farmland, sparsely populated villages, and official roads that no one has walked on. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Kyoto is already in the late spring of April, and it has long been warm and green, but the northwest is still a cold barrenness, and people are more and more worried to see it.

When I arrived at Datong Mansion, there was no green on the side of the road, and I couldn't even see a person walking around, which made people feel lifeless. Shen Ruohua opened the curtain and looked at the situation outside, he couldn't help frowning, he was very worried, it seems that this epidemic has been very serious, and the people are afraid that they have fled one after another and fled to other state capitals to avoid the epidemic, so there will be such a situation where there are few people in the city with ten rooms and nine empty rooms. If it is not calmed down as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will cause chaos.

Deng Lun, the prefect of Datong Prefecture, heard that the imperial physician and medicinal materials sent by the central government were coming, and he was overjoyed and led a cadre of the state government to greet him. When this group of officials who were frightened by the epidemic and hid in their own mansion for more than ten years, they were so excited that they couldn't speak, and praised the queen mother and the emperor for their wisdom, and thanked Xue Maoye, the Marquis of Guangping, who escorted the medicinal materials to come.

Xue Maoye accepted their great gift calmly, and said in an official tone: "This is all the grace of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so that the Marquis will come to calm the epidemic, relieve your urgent needs, and save the people from fire and water." It seems that he has taken the pacification of the epidemic as his mission, completely forgetting that he is only responsible for escorting the medicinal herbs over, and he is very proud.

Just when the officials were thanking them for their kindness, the curtain of Shen Ruohua's carriage was lifted, she took Xiao Tao's hand and walked down, and said lightly: "Where is the sick room, let someone take me to have a look." ”

She was dressed in a purple round-necked female robe with gold folded branches and plums, and she was tied with a royal jade belt around her waist, her face was as cold as the moon of dawn, looking at the officials who were busy currying favor with the Marquis of Guangping, they were all stunned.

"This is ......" Deng Lun originally thought that this was the female dependant of which family, but looking at Shen Ruohua's official uniform and full of doubts, he asked with a smile.

Qi Mingrui on the side strode over with his sword: "This is the female doctor Shen who came to pacify the epidemic by edict, and she also took out the prescription for treating the epidemic." ”

It turned out to be a woman! Is the Queen Mother confused, she actually sent a female doctor to quell the plague! Deng Lun and other officials were stunned, looking at Shen Ruohua's young and delicate appearance, their hearts were full of suspicions, they heard that this prescription for treating the plague was taken out by Shen Ruohua, and they couldn't believe it, they all knew how powerful this plague was, these days the plague was rampant in Datong Mansion, but more than ten days of hard work has been sick and died I don't know how many people, can it be that such a young lady can come up with a prescription to treat the epidemic?

It's just that Shen Ruohua looked at them with suspicion, and his expression was still calm: "Let someone take me to the ward, and arrange a house for me to live in over there, so that I can start diagnosis and observation." ”

Deng Lun came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed: "This will let people lead Lord Shen to the ward, but the house in the ward is dilapidated and there is no comfortable house, so it is better to invite Lord Shen to live in the state capital." Although Deng Lun was full of doubts about such a woman's medical skills, the second-grade female doctor in front of him was still above him after all, and he had to respectfully obey the orders and think of pleasing him.

Shen Ruohua ignored his flattery, and said in a flat tone: "No need, I came to quell the plague by edict, and it is more convenient to live near the ward." ”

Deng Lun couldn't help but glance at Xue Maoye, the Marquis of Guangping, Xue Maoye's eyes flashed with a fierce color, but his face smiled: "Female Doctor Shen really cares about the people, so she is in such a hurry to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in Datong Mansion, so it's okay, arrange a house for Female Doctor Shen to live in, and cure the plague as soon as possible, so that the Queen Mother and the Emperor can rest assured." ”

Deng Lun had no choice but to order someone to arrange it, and looked at Qi Mingrui with a smile on his face: "General Qi will also stay in the state capital together." ”

Qi Mingrui glanced at Xue Maoye, Deng Lun and the others coldly: "I'm going to rush to the pass army in a while, so I won't bother you." ”

Deng Lun remembered that there was also an epidemic in the Liang family's army, and said with a sigh: "Yes, there are also people over there who are infected with the plague, and I heard that many soldiers are seriously ill, so General Qi naturally wants to take a look." He shook his head as he spoke: "What a disaster from heaven, such a disaster!" ”

Liang Yuzhi's infection with the epidemic is an extremely confidential matter, in order not to let the army be in turmoil, the matter was sent to the Liang Mansion in Kyoto in the form of a secret report, and the Liang family reported to the Queen Mother for disposal.

Shen Ruohua got into the carriage and ordered people to go directly to the sick room, which was the place used by the government to isolate the infected people, and she had to go to see what the situation was already so that she could modify the prescription and administer the medicine as soon as possible.

Qi Mingrui also turned over and got on the horse, and escorted her to the hospital with the team of soldiers.

Watching them walk away, Deng Lun sighed for a long time and said in a low voice: "How can you let a woman come over to quell the plague, this is not embroidery, but it will cost many lives!" ”

Xue Maoye haha: "The Queen Mother must have other plans, why should you worry, if the plague is not quelled, it will also be her responsibility." ”

Deng Lun was busy responding, smiled and asked Xue Maoye to wait for the car, and a cadre of officials accompanied him to the state capital.

Shen Ruohua's carriage passed through Datong City, and when she saw the South City Gate, she didn't stop yet, she was a little puzzled, and asked the little official who led the way.

The little official replied: "The prefect has ordered, this epidemic is very serious, in order not to pass it on to others, the hospital is deliberately placed on the Liuhe Zhuangzi more than ten miles away from Kyoto. ”

When he arrived at Liuhe Zhuangzi, Shen Ruohua's face suddenly became difficult to see, this Zhuangzi was very remote, and it looked dilapidated and in disrepair, but at this time, it was already crowded with people, sitting around with people who were seriously ill with the epidemic, and many had been lying on the ground without life, I don't know whether they were dead or alive, men, women, children, women and children were mixed together, many of the less sick were still mourning and moaning, watching Shen Ruohua and several people standing in front of the Zhuangzi door and shouting to them for help.

Such a Zhuangzi is clearly no one to take care of, not even a Lang Zhong and the medical officer, nor have they seen food and water, where is this sick shop, it is clearly hell!
