Chapter 19 Outbreak of Epidemics
The two walked on the street, attracting the attention of many people, and Xuan Chen was a little uncomfortable.
"Let's go back when we put the river lantern. ”
"Good. ”
Ye Chu took two, and Xuan Chen also took two.
"Put two for Li Cong and Lian Bi. ”
"This river lantern is to make a wish. ”
Xuan Chen looked at the river lanterns floating along the river, reflecting the dark night of the river very beautifully, the orange light swayed slightly on the river surface, like stars falling in the river.
"No amount of wishes can match the four words of peace and joy. Xuan Chen smiled, and Ye Chu was obsessed with it.
"Let's go back. Ye Chu clenched Xuan Chen's hand.
When crossing the bridge, Ye Chu and Xuan Chen greeted Wei Yun who was on the opposite side.
"Childe, ma'am. Wei Yun was afraid that Ye Chu would just pretend not to see it.
Xuan Chen smiled slightly, and was about to say goodbye, when Xuan Chen suddenly asked.
"The girl's name is Wei Yun?"
"Yes. ”
"How do you know?"
"This is Wei Yun from Qingle Fang. ”
Ye Chu paused, "Thank you girl for helping my mother." ”
"It turned out to be the Hou Ye and the princess?!" Wei Yun pretended not to know, and hurriedly wanted to kneel down and salute, but Xuan Chen hurriedly grabbed him.
"The girl repaired the strings for me, and I haven't had time to thank you. ”
"Madame's gift is already very valuable. ”
"Thank you girl for your help, Ye Fu will have a heavy gift to thank you. After Ye Chu said this, he planned to leave with Xuan Chen.
Wei Yun didn't want to say anything more. Ye Chu didn't know what was wrong, and he always felt a little uncomfortable looking at Wei Yun's face.
"I'm going back to the barracks tomorrow, so let's finish the work quickly. ”
Ye Chu was lying on Xuan Chen's lap, and Xuan Chen pressed Ye Chu's temples to relieve his fatigue.
"Don't come back in the future, it's tiring. Xuan Chen looked at Ye Chu's tired appearance and felt a little distressed.
Ye Chu shook Xuan Chen's hand and got up, "I said, you don't believe in yourself, but you have to believe me, you know?"
The atmosphere in the car was very ambiguous.
This month, Ye Chu only came back a few times, and Li Ji went to Yuntai Temple again in the first year of junior high school. When he came out of burning incense, he met Wei Yun, and Wei Yun deliberately walked in front.
"Miss Wei, please wait. Mama He walked a few more steps to the front, "Our old lady invites Miss Wei to sit in the wing." ”
"Good. Wei Yun secretly rejoiced in her heart, this trip was not in vain.
"Old Madam Ye. "Wei Yun is very polite and polite.
"Thank you last time, girl. ”
"It's been a long time, it's a gesture, and the old lady doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Li Ji looked at Wei Yun and only felt kind.
"Miss Wei, sit down. ”
Mama He moved a stool over.
"Thank you, ma'am. ”
"I heard that Mama said that the girl is in Qingle Fang?" although Li Ji asked, there was no contempt in his eyes, only pity.
"Yes, the family is poor. Wei Yun didn't hide it, but won Li Ji's love even more. "My mother also had no choice but to send me to work as an artist in Qingle Fang. ”
"Then what is Miss Wei best at?"
"Pipa. ”
"How old are you?"
"It's twenty-two, and it's full at the end of July this year. ”
Li Ji sighed that his daughter was also born at the end of July, and she was as old as Wei Yun at this age, and she was even more kind.
"I don't know if Miss Wei will go to someone else's house to play the yiqin?"
"Wei Yun is not very good in Qingle Fang, no one has ever invited her. ”
"Mama He, my birthday will be completed next year, remember to give the girl a post. ”
"Yes. ”
"Thank you, ma'am. Wei Yun hurriedly got up and thanked him.
"Why does Miss Wei keep wearing a plain gauze hat?"
"Recently, I have had some allergies and some red rashes on my face. ”
Li Ji talked a little more, and then went back.
"Why did the carriage stop?"
"Wait, old lady, there are too many people coming into the city lately. The coachman said outside.
Li Ji lifted the curtain and looked at it, there were many people outside who came to drag their families, afraid that something was going on.
"Hurry back if you get through. ”
"Yes. ”
In the palace, Beigong Mingye was scolding Ye Chu.
"There is an epidemic in the barracks, why didn't you report it earlier?"
"At first, it was just ordinary vomiting and diarrhea, and the imperial doctor who followed the barracks at any time also saw it, and it didn't take long for it to get better. In the end, within a few days, the people who got well began to cough, but after a few days, they coughed up blood and died, and they immediately came to report to the king. Deputy General He Yan replied, and Ye Chu looked solemn.
"What now?"
"Now separate the soldiers who are already vomiting, and put the soldiers who are coughing in one place. The soldiers who were not infected were also divided into teams, and their diet and daily life were all separated. ”
"Dial half of the imperial physician in the palace first. ”
"Report, the city gate guard Lu Shuwei asked to see. ”
"Come in. ”
"Wechen has seen the king. ”
"What?"
"A large number of displaced people have come outside the city these days. ”
"Outcasts?"
"Yes, there are too many today, all of them came from three nearby towns, and my subordinates sent people to several towns to see quickly, and the people were almost empty. The subordinates asked that there was an epidemic in the town and wanted to go to the city for medical treatment. ”
Beigong Mingye took a deep breath.
"Spread the word to the great Si Nong. ”
Beigong Mingye was silent for a while before slowly speaking.
"Did the other battalions find anything?"
"Not yet. Ye Chu said.
"The north battalion is an important part of the army, and the other battalions first separate the soldiers according to the arrangement of the northern battalion. Each battalion sent a physician to take a look first. In addition, a total of ten imperial doctors went to Beiying. Let Da Si Nong take people to pacify the displaced people in the city and give them enough silver, Lu Shuwei, you lead the troops to escort them back to the town first, and then bring three imperial doctors to follow, and send people to gather half of the Lang Zhong in the city, scatter them to various towns, and report to Da Si Nong as soon as things are needed. ”
"Yes. ”
Only two days after the incident, the entire North Lonely City was already panicked.
"Madam, Master Hou will be fine in the barracks, right?" Lian Bi watched as people everywhere in the courtyard were sprinkling water and cleaning every few hours, burning mugwort every day.
"Don't talk nonsense. Xuan Chen was also very anxious, and his palms were covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.
"Yes. Even Bi realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"Ma'am. ”
Bai Yuan hurriedly came in from outside the courtyard.
"Madame, Master Hou, asked me to come back and report to Mrs. Houye, everything is fine, please don't worry, stay in the house and don't go out, so that you can take care of yourself." ”
"That..."
"There are no people in the barracks, so let's go first. ”
"Don't worry, ma'am, go back to the house. ”
"Ye Hou. ”
"How?"
"Seventeen more died. ”
Ye Chu hurriedly went to the temporary tent of the imperial doctor.
"Have you figured it out?"
Ten imperial doctors, you look at me, I look at you, some of them bowed their heads and didn't dare to look at Ye Chu's eyes, and some shook their heads silently.
Ye Chu went out angrily, patrolling the infected tent that came out, and the tent was getting more and more set up day by day, and Ye Chu's spirit became more and more tense.
"Ye Hou, bring a mask. ”
Ye Chu took the mask handed by the soldier and put it on.
A rapid cough came from behind him, the white cloth covered his head, Ye Chu frowned, although the people around him were **, they had already seen it, and the next one would be himself sooner or later.
"Your Majesty, there is also an epidemic in the Northern Lonely City. Su Hong said.
"All parts of the palace must be guarded. Beigong Mingye sat in the ancestral hall with his brows furrowed.
"Especially in Ji Ze and the queen's palace. ”
"Yes. ”
"It's been five days, and those imperial doctors still have no choice?"
"Nope. ”
"Let Lu Shuwei guard those towns and not let people go out. According to the household register, each family who died must be subsidized with silver taels and burial expenses, and there can be no public resentment. Immediately in the North Lonely City, there was a secluded place to house those who had contracted the disease. ”
Beigong Mingye took a deep breath, and the beads in his hand turned rapidly. The beads hit the wall and fell to the ground.
"It's all rubbish!" Beigong Mingye was furious.
"The king is angry. ”
After another five days, the epidemic became more and more serious.
"Is there any news of the national teacher?" Beigong Mingye was extremely looking forward to the return of the national teacher at this moment.
"Nope. ”
"What's the way those doctors have got?"
"No, no. Su Hong replied tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, He Yan asks to see. ”
He Yan came in in a panic, and his demeanor was a little indecent.
"What's wrong?"
"Ye, when Ye Hou went back to the house to get the medicinal materials in the house, he fell ill, I was afraid, I was afraid that it was an epidemic!"
"Why did Ye Hou go back to the house to get medicinal herbs?" Beigong Mingye got up suddenly.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed better to go from Beiying to Yefu than those imperial doctors to return to the Tai Hospital, and the king has always given the eldest princess many valuable medicinal materials, and Ye Hou is also the fastest way to go back. ”
Beigong Mingye sat down slowly, thinking about it non-stop.
"Let Ye Hou be in the house first, and it is not appropriate to move when he is sick. The things in Beiying will be temporarily received by you first. Beigong Mingye thought that if he could take advantage of this time to give the Ye family a blow, it would not be impossible to take back some of the forces in the army.
The bad news that Beiying beat me came again, and the soldiers did not cure one of them, but one of them was too sick to be infected.
The imperial physicians who stayed in Beiying kept arguing over the prescription, and the discussions came and went to no avail.
"Madam, madam, Master Hou is sick, Bai Yuan and they carried it back on a stretcher, and they have already entered the mansion. ”
Ye Chu was placed in bed and had a fever.
"Is there a doctor?"
Bai Yuan shook his head, "The palace has already stopped the court, and most of the imperial doctors in the palace have been allocated, and Lang Zhong in the city can't invite them at all." ”
"Are you sure it's an infection?" Xuan Chen struggled to hold his mind.
"Look at the symptoms of those people in the barracks, yes. ”
"I know, Lian Bi, you go and tell the old man and the old lady first, tell them not to come, hurry up and find Doctor Lang. Then let the courtyard be cleaned at all times, and you will not come into the house. Xuan Chen took the opportunity to push Lian Bi, "You keep watch outside, put the things at the door, I'll get them." ”
"No, ma'am, I..."
"If I do get sick, there will be no one to take care of me. ”
Xuan Chen put on a veil, changed the clothes on Ye Chu's body, wrapped them in cloth, and then put them outside the house and let Lian Bi take them to burn.
"With a lot of money, you don't have Lang Zhongyuan to wait for the house?" Li Ji was incredible.
"Now the people in the North Lonely City are panicking, and even the doctors summoned by the royal palace in the North Lonely City have taken a lot of effort. I heard that a doctor died, and no Lang Zhong was willing to come out. ”
Ye Xiu sat quietly and didn't say a word, and only said a word after a while.
"Is Master Si still in the house?"
"Yes, yes. ”
In a hurry, people will always ignore it.
"Master Si comes once every half month, and after two or three days. ”
"I just hope that Ye Chu can survive these two or three days. Ye Xiu turned his back and left.
Although Li Ji didn't have much affection for Ye Chu, he was also very worried.
