Chapter 42: A Hundred Miles Away

"Your Majesty, are you recruiting some more imperial doctors in this palace?" Gonggong Li held Jinshang's hand and said as he walked.

Who knew that Jinshang shook his head and said: "People who can enter the palace in this world, I'm afraid it will be difficult to diagnose what is wrong with me!" Let's look for more outside the palace. ā€

"But if this person outside the palace is plotting against him..."Gonggong Li is very worried, this person who can enter the palace to become a imperial doctor has already handed over his net worth and life to Jinshang, so the powerful people in this palace can use peace of mind.

But the difference outside the palace is just a false name that I don't know where it came from, if you say that you are alone, the government may not be able to find out the beginning and the end, and it is naturally much more unsafe.

Jinshang really felt that Gonggong Li around him was annoying, so he simply stopped paying attention to it, and just cared about taking a breath in the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, the ladies of the harem heard that you were here, and they were rushing over here." The imperial guard, who was originally following Imagami in the distance, received the news and approached Imagami to pray.

"Go back, after all, nothing is pure." Admiral Kam put his hands behind his back and left the Imperial Garden.

The concubines who came after hearing the news naturally rushed into the air, exchanged greetings and sarcastic words before going back.

And now Gu Muyan, who is in the Wuyuan Garden, received a letter, which was sent by Cheng Qi, just saying that she could have returned to Beijing earlier, but she didn't expect the disaster to be serious, so she delayed it, but when she returned to Beijing, she would definitely bring her some gadgets, and asked her not to worry about it, and to accompany Cheng Qi's master by the way, that is, her maternal grandfather.

"Hmph, of course I know." Gu Muyan held the letter full of letters, with some disgust on his lips, but his face was extremely happy.

Xian Xiang, who had just walked in to change the tea for Gu Muyan, looked at her jokingly and said, "Miss, this Mo Yan made the maid blush a little when she saw it!" ā€

"Go, if you talk too much, you will be punished for studying ink for Miss Ben!" Gu Muyan put away Cheng Qi's letter and put it in a special small box, then walked to the table, picked up the brush, dipped it in the freshly ground ink of the incense, and wrote a large one.

What he said was to tell Cheng Qi to take care of himself, and about the epidemic, I just hope that the epidemic in this life can not be as fierce as in the previous life.

But the letter was delivered late, and by the time it came, the overflowing water had receded, and the carcasses of animals and people had been exposed to the scorching sun for several days.

So there are already some signs of the epidemic, but it has just begun, all the symptoms are not as strong as the famine, and those who are weak only think that they are hungry, but they do not know that the plague has spread in their bodies.

"Command, everyone must boil the water twice, the first time the sand and gravel are deposited at the bottom of the basin, the second time the water can be drunk, and the corpses exposed by the flood must be disposed of as soon as possible! Otherwise, the epidemic will get worse and worse! Cheng Qi had no doubts about Gu Muyan's words, and he commanded the soldiers in the army.

But after all, these soldiers can only march and fight, and naturally they don't know much about this kind of epidemic, and when they saw Cheng Qi say this, they were all a little puzzled, and looked at each other several times, and then asked: "This epidemic has not yet appeared, and is this method useful?" ā€

"This is what Taifu said, naturally it is somewhat useful, but I hope it is not too late, after all, the flood has receded for two days, and the smell in the air is getting worse and worse." Cheng Qi didn't say that this method was said by Gu Muyan, only that it was Taifu's method, even if they smelled it at that time, they could say that Gu Muyan was Taifu's own grandson, so he thought it was Taifu's method.

When the soldiers heard that it was Taifu's attention, they naturally didn't ask any more, and went down one by one after receiving orders.

After a few more days, the epidemic did not break out, but just when everyone thought that this matter had passed, some people among the people had begun to cough and have a fever, but after all, it was a small part, mixed with the huge number of victims, and naturally few people could notice.

Gu Muyan, who was far away in the capital, also paid attention to the situation of the refugees and the disaster at all times, and even asked Sheng Zhoujin to send someone to investigate the situation, and inform her in advance once the refugees were only a hundred miles away from the capital.

So as soon as Sheng Zhoujin received the news, he sent someone to inform Gu Muyan, and Li Zhonghe also received the news.

And Li Zhonghe also found her one step ahead of Gu Muyan, and the two made an appointment to meet tomorrow in the people's grain village, where Gu Muyan's chassis was relatively safer.

"I—" the two of them said in unison.

Li Zhonghe made a gesture of invitation, signaling Gu Muyan to speak first, so Gu Muyan did not refuse, nodded slightly, and said a little solemnly: "I came for the disaster in Jiangnan, this time the news of the plague has not yet arrived, and I have already told Brother Cheng how to defend it, but I don't know what the final effect will be." ā€

"Dare to ask how the young lady instructed Brother Cheng?" After all, Li Zhonghe has practiced medicine for generations, but Gu Muyan is different, and she is an official lady who does not touch the spring water with her fingers, so she naturally has some scruples.

When Li Zhonghe asked, Gu Muyan was not annoyed, but he saw that all the methods written in the letter on how to deal with drinking water and corpses were told to Li Zhonghe, and these were also the methods used in the remedy in the previous life, and they were all the same, so Gu Muyan followed them.

Li Zhonghe, who was originally a little skeptical of Gu Muyan's method, couldn't help but admire it in his heart after hearing these words, after all, this official child, if he is good at calligraphy, chess, calligraphy and painting, or riding and swords, it is nothing, he was born differently, and naturally he learned differently.

But this Gu Muyan not only won the first place in this year's Hundred Flowers Festival, but even the pair some time ago was amazing, and now he not only has such a heart for the people, but also does have a few abilities, and even understands pharmacology and people's livelihood, which makes Li Zhonghe not admire?

"It's offended, I didn't know that Miss had such knowledge! It's to look at people with the heart of a villain. Li Zhonghe stood up and said in front of Gu Muyan.

This is something Gu Muyan didn't expect, after all, it is normal for Li Zhonghe to have doubts, and he has long thought that he will definitely be questioned when he says this, so he is not angry in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Mr. is polite, don't do this, I can't do much, so I want to ask Mr. for the sake of the people of Limin, if the epidemic really breaks out, I hope Mr. will help!" ā€

"Miss rest assured, I am a doctor below, and it is my duty to treat diseases and save people, if I can make a modest contribution to Xia, it will be a great thing." Li Zhonghe still stood and arched his hand, respecting Gu Muyan more than ever.

Seeing that Li Zhonghe agreed, Gu Muyan's heart was also settled, so he made a gesture of invitation to him: "Sir, please sit down, my matter has been finished with Mr., I don't know what Mr. has to do?" ā€

"What I want to say next, Miss has already said it for me, but I don't know if there is really an epidemic, this people will probably not be allowed to enter the capital, right?" Li Zhonghe said with some worry: "I don't know if the people in the capital will be allowed to go out at that time." ā€

"I have already thought about this matter, and it will definitely not work with the strength of you and me at that time, but I can use the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the power of the current saint, and then Mr. will be able to treat him openly." Gu Muyan said thoughtfully.

"In that case, there is Miss Lao Gu!" Li Zhonghe said again.

In fact, Gu Muyan had already expected Li Zhonghe's attitude today, after all, the dismissal of himself and Li Zhonghe in his previous life was not small, the reason why Li Zhonghe was used by Xiao Yi at that time was just to save his life, and later the kindness was exhausted, Li Zhonghe planned to leave, but Xiao Yi was unwilling to let go.

So in the end, Li Zhonghe still couldn't escape death.

She didn't realize the severity of the floods, and on the way back, she was still wondering why the young lady took this matter so seriously.

"Miss, why are you so concerned about this matter? Other official ladies just waited for all this to ferment in the capital, and then they would give alms in order to gain a good reputation. Xiang Xiang looked at Gu Muyan and asked.

Seeing that Xiang Xiang asked, Gu Muyan didn't hide it and said: "Xiang Xiang, you should know that my life in the house is not easy after following me for so long, except for my grandmother who treats me sincerely, my father is half concerned about me?" If it hadn't been for the reward of the past few days, I'm afraid my father wouldn't have paid attention to me. ā€

What Gu Muyan said was the truth, but Xian Xiang was inevitably uncomfortable when she heard it, she wanted to say it but didn't know what to say, frowning like an old man.

"Okay, so isn't your young lady also planning, it's too late to wait for everything to happen, it's better to rush before the disaster, this is useful, only by making yourself strong can you change all this, right?" Gu Muyan comforted, which made Xiangxiang's expression slightly better.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Muyan went directly to Gu Hao's study.

"What's the matter with Yan'er?" Gu Hao's was faint, there was a kind of alienation, but there was a feeling of closeness.

Gu Muyan didn't want to distinguish anything, but said respectfully: "When Yan'er went to the people's grain farm today, I heard that this flood was serious, and I don't know if there will be an epidemic, so Yan'er thought that it would be better to buy some herbs from the Prime Minister's Mansion now, which can be regarded as a modest effort?" ā€

Hearing this, Gu Hao's face changed a little: "I'm afraid there isn't so much money in the mansion to do this, right?" ā€

"Before, the emperor rewarded Yan'er with a hundred taels of gold, and Yan'er wanted to use them to do something for the people..."Gu Muyan lowered his head and said with a clear sense of emotion.
