After Zhou Yong went to see it, his face changed when he came back, and he returned to the princess and said, "This is an epidemic, I'm afraid it will be bad." ”

After hearing this, the princess's face turned pale, and her lips trembled: "How can it be an epidemic? There has never been such a disease in Fuchu. ”

Lu Shuyi was also puzzled, and frowned: "Can the master be sure that it is an epidemic?" ”

Zhou Yong nodded very affirmatively: "It's indeed an epidemic." He said: "The epidemic is a great disease that can be contagious, and if one person is infected, it will spread to a room, or even a prefecture, a county, or a city, and many of the infected people will not live, and finally the whole body will fester, and the pain will die." ”

The princess's face became paler, and even her body trembled.

Lu Shuyi shook the princess's hand and hurriedly asked Zhou Yongdao: "Does the master have a way to control this disease?" ”

Zhou Yong shook his head: "There is no good cure for the time being, the only urgent thing is to burn wormwood all over the house, spray spirits, and then isolate the infected maid, and those who have been in contact with her must also be temporarily isolated to prevent infecting others." As for the prescription, I will also slowly consider one. ”

"Mother, what do you think?" Lu Shuyi asked the princess, and at the same time she was suspicious.

In her previous life, she had also experienced a plague in Kyoto, and it was not possible for this disease to occur suddenly, unless the solar terms were not right, or there were too many dead people after the war, and the water source was not clean.

There have been no deaths in the palace recently, and the water source cannot be unclean, and this solar term is not the peak period of the epidemic, why would someone suddenly become sick?

The princess had never experienced this, but she knew how bad the epidemic was, so she immediately said, "Just do what the master says." ”

At the same time, he also repeatedly told Lu Shuyi: "This disease is a serious illness, don't go there these days." Just stay in your own room, and the people around you who can be contacted should always be attentive and take care of yourself. ”

Lu Shuyi nodded yes, and when she came out of the princess's house, she specially asked Zhou Yong: "Master, if no one is infected with this disease, in a place like the palace, do you say it is easy to attack?" ”

Zhou Yong shook his head, and also wondered: "It stands to reason that this season is not the season of the epidemic...... and shook his head again: "But there is no absolute in everything." ”

Lu Shuyi's eyes rolled, and her doubts deepened. Wait until you get back to your accommodation. She immediately asked Dongmei, "Has there been a plague in any place recently?" ”

Dongmei is the most aware of this kind of thing, and she immediately replied: "Yes, Zhouzhuang, it's not too far from our Changle Town." After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, it's not too far from Baoding Mansion." ”

Lu Shuyi frowned.

Dongmei whispered, "I heard that a lot of people died." The corpses burned again and again. The higher authorities also gave orders. After sealing the village, the people in the entire Zhuangzi are afraid that they will not be able to escape death, which is also pitiful. At the same time, he was very worried about the situation in Huo Fu. frowned and said: "I'm afraid that eighty percent of the people in the miscellaneous labor class won't be able to keep it." ”

As soon as she heard about the miscellaneous labor class, Lu Shuyi suddenly remembered something, her eyes sank, and she rolled her sleeves and asked, "Didn't the group of people in front of the princess be punished to work as coolies because they neglected the princess a few days ago?" ”

Dongmei nodded: "Yes, the maid Xiaoju who was found to be infected was originally a second-class maid next to the princess. ”

Lu Shuyi lowered her eyebrows and was silent for a moment, she always felt that something was flashing in her heart, and after thinking for a long time, she reached out and slapped her palm on the kang table, and said angrily: "That's right, that's right." ”

Dongmei and Holly saw that Lu Shuyi's face suddenly had anger, and they were a little confused for a while.

When several people looked at each other, they suddenly heard Lu Shuyi ask urgently: "There is a maid named Doumiao next to the princess, did she leave the house a few days ago?" ”

"yes." Holly replied, "I said I went to get sweet potato cakes for the princess." ”

Do I need to make a trip home to get sweet potato cakes?

In the huge palace, it is impossible that no one can make sweet potato cakes, even if no one can make them, Baoding Mansion is full of talents, how can it not find one who can make sweet potato cakes.

A few days ago, Lu Shuyi was only concerned about the child in her womb because she was pregnant, and she didn't care too much about other things, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that there is something strange about this matter.

She immediately instructed Dongmei: "Quick, go to Shuangxi immediately, and ask him to find out the people that Doumiao has been in contact with in the past few days, no matter how many people he uses, remember, you must be fast, and you can't delay." ”

If this plague is really the work of He Ruyi, then she is crazy.

Lu Shuyi exhaled a long breath, and her heart was tumbling with it.

Just when Shuangxi went to check the whereabouts of Dou Miao, there was a rumor in the palace that the plague was brought by Chai Xiu'e and Lu Wenhui, who had come to live in the palace a few days ago.

One of them lives in Changle Town, very close to Zhouzhuang, and the other lives in Yizhou, not far from Zhouzhuang.

With such rumors, those maids and mothers-in-law saw Lu Shuyi and avoided them one by one, and they all walked around the bend.

Dongmei was so angry that she couldn't wait to arrest these people and beat them, and said hatefully: "Are they blind? If it is really the illness brought by our fourth young master and Miss Xiu'e, then how can we be well, isn't it an early illness. ”

Lu Shuyi didn't bother to pay attention to these gossips, she only cared about the movement of the bean seedlings and the situation of the epidemic.

She went to Zhou Yong every day to see him consider prescriptions, and at the same time helped him consult some ancient books, and prepared one patch after another.

However, among the maidservants and mothers-in-law of those miscellaneous labor classes, more than a dozen people were still infected with this disease, and Xiaoju, who was the first to be infected, also died.

The people in the palace were panicked, they had to cover their mouths and noses when they walked, the sachets and sachets they wore on their bodies were replaced with wormwood, and the kitchen burned vinegar stones every day and smoked them three times in the morning and evening.

And the people outside also heard that someone in the palace was infected with the epidemic, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to pass in front of the palace.

In just a few days, Huo Wangfu became lifeless, with a sense of oppression that death shrouded his head, and he couldn't breathe.

The princess sighed day by day, she couldn't eat food, she couldn't drink water, and she quickly lost weight.

Lu Shuyi had to come over every day to persuade her to eat.

In this case, He Ruyi was very happy, very happy, she ate more food and drank more water, she leaned on the couch and listened to Doumiao say that a few more people died today, and her charming face turned into a flower, and said with a smile: "If it goes on like this, within a month, those people I hate will all die." Stretched out his hand and twisted a crystal clear grape, peeled it and put it in his mouth, and said in a cold tone: "It's just that I can't let that slut get sick, it's really hateful." ”

Dou Miao felt a chill in her heart, this disaster was brought by her, and now that four people have died, she is also afraid of death.

She couldn't sleep well at night for the past two days, and as soon as she closed her eyes, Xiaoju's pale face was dangling in front of her, crying and asking for her life.

She was terrified and tormented. (To be continued......)
