Chapter 150: Worry for the People
Because she was really tired, Bi Yan slept directly until the sun went down to ease her strength.
Because Bai Zi didn't come back this time, Bi Yan had to be served by two second-class maids in her courtyard first.
Fortunately, she wasn't very picky, even if these two maids were not as easy to use as Bai Zi, she didn't say anything.
After washing and changing clothes, she went to the front yard to look for Shen Zhang.
Shen Zhang didn't get up for long.
After this slowed down, Bi Yan felt that her legs were in severe pain, and her life on horseback in the past few days was not for fun, but fortunately, she followed Mo Fengchen to fight the world in her last life, and she had never suffered anything.
came to the study and sat down, and Shen Zhang came out after a while.
Immediately retreated, leaving only the two of them.
"Fang Cai didn't ask carefully, when you said this to Ziqing, didn't he have any doubts?" Biyan is also a first aid person, so she is not so thoughtful.
Now that I think about it, I have to prepare a lot.
"Of course I have doubts, Your Majesty immediately asked me where I heard this method." Shen Zhang recalled a scene in the imperial study and said carefully.
"And how do you explain that?"
"I, I naturally said that it was the master who said it."
Bi Yan was taken aback.
"You've hired me!" Bi Yan jumped up suddenly.
"Master, don't get excited, it's what you said." Shen Zhang looked innocent.
In fact, there is a reason why he did this time.
He can't follow his master every day, he has to have his own chips.
Things like the third princess, the eldest prince making things difficult for the master. This may happen in the future.
The reason why they treat the master like this is because the master is a powerless and powerless lady of the boudoir, and the only thing they can get is the identity of Miss Shen family.
But. When you meet someone who doesn't want to give face to the Shen family, this identity will be useless at all.
He naturally knew that his master was resourceful and could deal with many difficulties, but considering the Shen family, he still endured a lot.
He felt guilty about this, he thought that the Shen family could become a barrier to protect his master, but he didn't want to add some shackles instead. Naturally, this was something he didn't want to see.
This time, there was an outbreak of disease.
Since the master has come up with this method to save the Li people, such a great merit will naturally be implemented.
Let the master earn his own reward. Take advantage of the power of the Holy One. In this way, if others want to embarrass the master in the future, they have to think about it carefully, otherwise they will really have trouble with the heavenly family and want to slap the emperor in the face.
Bi Yan just experienced it carefully. I understood what Shen Zhang meant by doing this.
"Hey. I didn't even think about it that much, I just wanted to save people. Bi Yan sighed helplessly.
"Master, I know, I know all this, I just told the truth, and it is not contrary to the heart of saving people. Master, think more about yourself. Shen Zhang hurriedly continued.
Bi Yan fell silent for a moment.
Yes, she is the third lady of the Shen family in this life, and her status is not bad. But he was harassed several times.
In the end, it's just because those people don't take her seriously.
If she's strong in her own right. Naturally, others don't dare to look down on her.
Shen Zhang's method took a shortcut.
If she is appreciated by the son of the day, coupled with the virtue of saving the people, she will naturally accumulate great prestige.
Doing his son a favor, and then borrowing his son's momentum, seems to be a good idea.
Bi Yan is not a stubborn person, but Shen Zhang suddenly said this, which made her feel as if her purpose of saving people was not pure, so she was a little uncomfortable.
Now that I've figured everything out, I won't dwell on it anymore.
"Since you've said it, so be it."
"By the way, master, he did all the letters you sent to Mo Ziting, and all measures were implemented in place, and yesterday, when I gave advice to His Majesty, Mo Ziting was also present, and he also said that the words he suggested before were actually from the mouth of his son."
Bi Yan didn't expect this, and in the letter to Mo Ziting, she didn't mention cowpox, but only mentioned those epidemic prevention measures.
Unexpectedly, Mo Ziting did it without changing a word, and told Emperor Mo Qing to listen.
"Is the epidemic in Beijing okay?" Biyan no longer thinks about this, and instead asks some things that she cares about.
Speaking of this, Shen Zhang's expression was not so good.
"Although everyone began to pay attention to the epidemic at the beginning, the situation is still not optimistic."
"What's not optimistic?" Biyan asked with concern.
"The master also knew that the smallpox disease spread very quickly. Most of the families in the capital have sick people. It was controlled by the imperial court in a hurry, and there were still many sick people. Shen Zhang's tone was extremely heavy.
Bi Yan thought that what she heard from Feng and her grandmother was true, because she was not so worried at first, but now when she heard Shen Zhang's words, she knew the reason for the matter.
It seems that in order to prevent the people from panicking, the imperial court concealed some of the truth in order not to cause greater panic.
If Shen Zhang hadn't been deeply trusted by Emperor Moqing, and had entered the palace again, I am afraid that he would not know much about the epidemic in Beijing at this moment.
"I heard from my mother that the sick people were all gathered together?"
Shen Zhang nodded.
"Yes, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, all the sick people were concentrated in the west street of the capital. The periphery was strictly guarded by the forbidden army. ”
Bi Yan's face was grim, but he still nodded approvingly, this measure is very correct, and by focusing the source of the disease together, it can prevent a larger scale of infection.
"And what about those patients?"
Speaking of this, Shen Zhang said helplessly: "I can only boil some medicine and drink it, but it won't help." ”
"Are there any patients dying now?"
"Yes, some of them have died."
At the mention of these, the atmosphere in the whole study room was heavy.
Biyan also wants to save more people, but what can she do now?
She is not a healer, nor is she a bodhisattva, so what help can she provide except for some preventive measures.
I can only hope and look for cowpox, and the sooner we find it, the sooner we can save some lives.
Especially now, A-Yuan is still sick.
Thinking of that cute little fat brother, Bi Yan's face darkened.
"Master, I know that so many people are sick, and you are sad, but we have done our best." Shen Zhang comforted in a low voice.
"Yes, I've done my best, now that I think about A-Yuan still lying on the bed, I feel distressed, I live with myself, and those who have passed away in the family are even more uncomfortable."
"What, A-Yuan is sick?" Shen Zhang looked at Bi Yan in surprise.
"What, you don't know yet?" Biyan was also a little surprised.
"As soon as I came back from the palace, I went to rest after saying a few words to my master, and no one mentioned it to me." Shen Zhang was very sad.
Ah Yuan is his little grandson, so white and fat, a cute child, so young, but now he is suffering from illness, how can he not feel distressed. (To be continued......)
