Chapter 373: The Plague Begins
However, on this birthday, the capital seemed destined not to be able to spend it safely, and a few days before the emperor's birthday, there was a sudden outbreak of the epidemic. Moreover, the scope of infection is very large, and the Beijing guards, who were originally busy because of the approaching birthday, became more and more busy, not only because of this sudden epidemic, but also because many powerful people in the capital were also infected with the epidemic.
As for the two brothers, Jun Yuchen and Jun Yusulfone, they also fell into unprecedented anxiety because of this.
Because, Princess Ding, who was pregnant, was also infected with the epidemic at the beginning......
This time, the epidemic was menacing, and many powerful and wealthy families in the capital were infected, with continuous low-grade fever, coma, vomiting, and even the court officials were infected with the epidemic in 12 out of 10, and they were sick in bed, making the whole capital chaotic and panicking.
It is approaching the emperor's birthday, and it is an important place in the capital, but there is such a chaos suddenly, and many rich and noble families are ready to leave Beijing temporarily, casting a thick shadow on the prosperous capital.
Emperor Jun Yucheng was furious and repeatedly ordered the Tai Hospital to control the epidemic as soon as possible, which made the Tai Hospital anxious.
The chaos outside, the Magnolia Palace does not know at all, because the Magnolia Palace itself is shrouded in a depressing and dull atmosphere, so that everyone is holding their breath and being cautious everywhere, for fear that one will accidentally cause trouble, who still has the heart to pay attention to the things outside?
The bed was hidden, revealing Zichu's unconscious face.
Jun Yuchen stayed in front of the bed, holding Zichu's hand tightly, refusing to relax at all, as if he was afraid that if he let go a little, Zichu would be taken away by death. Looking at the pale and sick face of the person on the bed, Jun Yuchen only felt that his heart was like a knife, over the years, no matter how difficult and frustrating he encountered, no matter how difficult the situation was, he could pick it up with one shoulder, walk freely in a desperate situation, and turn things around with his backhand.
Although he doesn't say that he feels omnipotent, he always feels that there is no dilemma in this world that can trap him?
However, now, looking at the weak and comatose Zichu, watching his most important person get sick and weak little by little, he clearly realized that in this world, there are things that he can't do!
Even, not only beyond the power of power, but simply powerless!
He...... There's nothing to do for Zichu.
Jun Yuchen hated this sense of powerlessness, and even gave birth to a deep panic and fear from the bottom of his heart, as if he had gone back in time, and returned to three years ago, he rushed to his father's palace, and after questioning to no avail, when he learned that Zichu had been sent to the East Palace, the feeling of almost being overturned surrounded him again...... He was really afraid that he would lose his son!
If there is any accident at Zichu now, ....... No matter how good the scenery is, no matter how much glory, if there is no Zichu by his side and enjoy it side by side with him, what is the meaning of this prosperous world?
"Zichu, I know that I have a bad temper, be careful, love to be jealous, love to show you a face, always want you to coax me, everything only follows me, if you want to be angry, it's okay to beat me and scold me, don't scare me like this, okay? You're awake, okay? Jun Yuchen put the soft but cold hand on his cheek and muttered, "Really, don't scare me, Zichu!" I'm afraid of ...... like this. I'm really scared ....... I've never been so scared ......."
If it was the usual Zichu, hearing him speak like this, he would definitely feel very distressed, and he would have been soothed by soft words.
But now, Zichu was just lying there quietly, and he couldn't hear ...... at all.
Without Zichu's voice, the warm pavilion, which was originally as warm as spring, seemed to have become an ice cellar, which was both empty and cold.
Jun Yuxuan came to the bedroom of Yulan Palace, and saw such a scene at the entrance, and couldn't help but be stunned, waved his hand at the palace maid who led him in, signaled him to retreat first, walked to the bed gently, and said softly: "Nine Emperor Brothers." ”
After a long while, Jun Yuchen seemed to react, glanced at him, and then shifted his gaze to Zichu again.
Jun Yuxuan's heart swelled with an indescribable taste, which was complicated and indescribable.
Because of the epidemic, he fell into a coma with a low-grade fever for several days, vomited, and had difficulty eating. And Jun Yuchen's situation is not much better, the originally rippling eyes are now full of bloodshots, the cheeks are thin, the expression is haggard, and the lips even have a green short beard, and the expression is sad and sad. Looking at his haggard and scattered appearance now, no one can connect him with the high-spirited and peerless Nine Emperor Prince Jun Yuchen.
Zichu and the Nine Emperor Brothers are in love, Jun Yuxuan knows it, but he doesn't know that the two are so affectionate.
Looking at it, Jun Yuyu felt sad, envious, and even jealous. Zichu and the Nine Emperor Brothers, they love each other so much, now that Zichu is sick, the Nine Emperor Brothers will put all the official affairs away, and when they heard that Zichu was infected with the epidemic, they hurried back to Yulan Palace, and stayed in front of the bed for seven days and seven nights without closing their eyes. If the sick person was replaced by the Nine Emperor Brothers, presumably Zichu would also be so sleepless and worried about him......
If it were him, would anyone be so concerned about him?
If......
As soon as this thought arose, Jun Yuxuan immediately shook his head and threw that delusion out of his mind, in this world, there is no if! Shangguan Wanxuan is no longer there, and he came this time because he had something serious to discuss with Jun Yuchen.
With the passage of time, the matter of the epidemic has become bigger and bigger, but until now I can't find a clue, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the capital will be in chaos, and if you talk about being smart and alert, no one is as powerful as Jun Yuchen, he and the Nine Emperor Brothers discussed, maybe he can find out some clues, so as not to bump into it like a headless fly.
After Jun Yuxuan returned to Beijing this time, once the court and China encountered an accident, he had a discussion with Jun Yuchen, and the two of them made suggestions, and they didn't feel anything.
Now that the Nine Emperor Brothers have left their official affairs and don't care about anything because of their initial illness, he is the only one left to support the overall situation, Jun Yuxuan knows what it means to be difficult to support alone, and there is no one who can even negotiate in case of trouble.
However, the Nine Emperor Brothers are now concerned about Zichu's illness, and if he wants to turn his mind to the epidemic, he is afraid that he will have to spend some thoughts.
"Ninth brother, how is the situation at the beginning of the child?" It can be seen that Jun Yuchen is now all focused on Zichu, and he will not easily accept his words, let alone others. Therefore, Jun Yucheng chose Zichu's illness as the starting point, so as not to touch the nails.
Sure enough, Jun Yuchen was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "It's still like that, coming and going, I have seen all the doctors in the Tai Hospital, and some say that it is a cold invasion and needs to be reconciled; Some say that the fever will be reduced first, and some say that it is a gastrointestinal problem...... Some recipes are decocted and drunk, and the situation can be slightly better, and sometimes the fever will be reduced, and again and again, but they are all treating the symptoms but not the root cause. ”
His words were slow, low and depressed, full of irritation and irritability.
"That's because we haven't found the root cause of the epidemic, I don't know what the cause of the epidemic started this time, we can't find the root cause of the disease, we can't prescribe the right medicine, and naturally it is impossible to get rid of it completely."
Jun Yuxuan said softly, "I know that you are now concerned about Zichu's illness, and you can't hear anything else now, but you don't know how to treat medicine, so you can't diagnose the pulse and cure the disease, so it's better to find a way to see if you can find the root cause of the epidemic, so that you are really saving Zichu." Ninth brother, what do you say? ”
Jun Yuchen seemed to be touched: "But, now I ......." ”
Zichu is like this, how could he leave her in the Yulan Palace and run out to investigate the root cause of the epidemic by himself? Even if you really go out, you can't concentrate on investigating the epidemic.
"I know that the ninth brother is unwilling to leave Zichu now, and I don't force it. Right now, the epidemic is the first major event in the imperial court, and I have checked a lot of things, but I feel that my thoughts are very chaotic, and I can't figure it out for a while, why don't you discuss it with me? ”
Seeing his intentions, Jun Yuxuan struck while the iron was hot, and added: "Don't hide it from the Nine Emperor Brothers, this time the epidemic is really strange!" I thought someone might have done it on purpose! ”
This sentence completely aroused Jun Yuchen's thoughts, and he was about to ask, but after a pause, he said: "Brother Huang, wait for me, I'll be back later." ”
Looking at the figure of him striding away, Jun Yuchuan knew that he had been staying in front of Zichu's bed these days, sleepless, but he was afraid that he was mentally tired and his thoughts were a little chaotic, but now because of Zichu's illness, he was thinking about the epidemic, so he wanted to go out to wash his face or other things, mention his spirit, so that he could seriously discuss the epidemic with him.
Subconsciously, Jun Yuyu shifted his gaze to Zichu on the bed......
It didn't take long for Jun Yuchen to hurry back, just as Jun Yucheng expected, he washed his face and looked a little more energetic, and asked Zhengse: "Brother Huang said just now, this time the epidemic is strange, what is going on?" But what are the clues? ”
"I don't know much about the epidemic, so I went through the previous information, and I found that the previous epidemic was either because of climate change, or because of contagious diseases such as smallpox, or because of the bad environment after the natural disaster...... Although the reasons are different, in general, it should be that the poor people are sicker and more people die. ”
Jun Yusulfone came prepared this time, and it was clear to say.
Jun Yuchen nodded: "This is normal, the poor people are not as good as the rich and noble people can often recuperate, life is difficult, and it is easy to afford medicine if they are sick, and it is difficult to cure the epidemic when encountered, and it is easier to be infected, so every time there is an epidemic, the poor people suffer more damage." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly realized, "Could it be that this time it wasn't so?" ”
As he spoke, his expression became strange, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Jun Yuxuan nodded: "I didn't notice this, but then I had suspicions, so I ordered people to register all the infected people in the register, and it turned out that the people who were infected with the epidemic were all rich and noble, such as powerful families, or merchants, rich or noble, but there were fewer ordinary officials, fewer poor people, and the remaining tenths were mostly beggars." Such a proportion of infected people really puzzled me. ”
