Chapter 144: The Plague
Seeing her coming, Nangong Jinchen's face softened slightly, and when he walked to his side, he held a book of folds in his fingertips and handed it to her.
Mu Ranyue opened it suspiciously, and was immediately shocked, "Gaoping plague? ”
Nangong Jinchen closed his eyes slightly, nodded a little tiredly, and said slowly: "Gaoping County was originally from the Chu State, and now it is also the most marginal place in the Yun Kingdom. ”
Now this plague has become known to the world, and everyone in the world is rumoring that this is the retribution of the Yun State, when Gao Ping belonged to the Chu State before, nothing had ever happened, how could such a serious plague occur after being taken away by the Yun State?
However, these Nangong Jinchen did not inform Mu Ranyue.
But she suddenly felt a little melancholy, but some things passed and passed.
"When did this start?"
"This piece of music was only delivered today, and Gaoping is at least five days away from Hengyang. And unless the situation has developed to the point where it is out of control, local officials will not write to ask for the assistance of the imperial court. ”
She was taken aback again, "So, you mean this plague should have been around for quite some time?" ”
He nodded, "According to reports, the death toll of the plague in Gaoping County has exceeded 10,000 now, and the speed of the spread of this plague is really unexpected. ”
Now, a few days have passed, and I don't know how many more people have died. And now the imperial court is sending the imperial doctor over, and I don't know if it's too late.
"Then the Gaoping County Order didn't go to Murong Villa for help?" Mu Ranyue frowned.
As the number one medical family in the world, Murong Villa will not sit idly by if this kind of thing happens.
Nangong Jinchen nodded her nose helplessly, "You, Murong Villa is in Chu State, and something happened to Yun State, how could you go to Chu State for help?" ”
She suddenly scolded herself in her heart for being too stupid, this is not modern, and there is such a thing as international aid.
If Murong Villa really interfered in this matter, then Mu Xuanche would definitely not be able to tolerate it.
"Then I'll take a look." She said, with a firmness between her eyebrows.
"Nope." Nangong Jinchen refused without hesitation, and his tone was even more non-negotiable, "There are many famous doctors in Tai Hospital, and they have not yet reached the point where a queen will make a move." ”
"Why? I grew up in a medical family, and my medical skills are also true to my uncle's inheritance, I dare to say that none of the doctors in the hospital can compare to me. ”
"I know, it's just that it's too dangerous for you to take the risk. I will secretly convene the world's famous doctors, and we will definitely get rid of the Jinyang plague. ”
"But the world's famous doctors, who can compare to the medical skills of the Murong family?"
What's more, she also has modern medical skills, which are incomparable to others.
"There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, don't be too confident in dyeing." Nangong Jinchen said lightly.
"I'm just confident, and I have to go." She said unquestionably, "Even if you don't want me to go, I'll go." ”
Seeing her determined appearance, Nangong Jinchen pondered for a moment, and seemed to be relieved with difficulty: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Mu Ranyue was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Don't, I ......"
"I was going to go."
"In that case, you want to take me with you?" A pair of beautiful eyes stared straight at her.
He smiled dumbly: "It's just to tease you." ”
She was suddenly angry, and she pounced on him to hit him, but he was clearly taking revenge on himself.
Nangong Jinchen grabbed her hand, hugged her full, and continued: "Dyeing is really easy to deceive. ”
"You...... I just believe in you too much. She huffed.
"Well, keep it all the time." He smiled, and the haze that had been haunting his heart was swept away.
"Hmph, if you lie to me like this, I won't believe you anymore." Mu Ranyue snorted coldly.
"Okay, if you don't believe it, don't believe it, as long as you are obediently by my side, it's enough."
His face flushed, "I'll say these nice things all day long." ”
He chuckled and hugged her tighter.
The next day, Nangong Jinchen and Mu Ranyue set off in a light car, but this trip was not deliberately concealed as before, so the court knew that the emperor and queen had gone to Gaoping.
Fortunately, Gaoping is in the border area, otherwise such a serious plague would have caused panic throughout the country.
The two of them took almost all the doctors in the Tai Hospital, and hurried to the road, but it took four days to reach Gaoping.
Gaoping County has been sealed down, the city gate is closed, dozens of officers and soldiers are guarding there, it can be said that a fly cannot enter or exit, and this is also for the sick people inside to run out and spread to other counties.
It's just that it also suffers those who are not sick inside.
Several people got out of the carriage and waited for someone to go in with the token to pass it on.
And the officers and soldiers saw that they were dressed extraordinarily, and they did not dare to slack off at all, and quickly ran in, and in less than half an hour, they saw people hurriedly running out and kneeling to greet them: "Weichen Jinling County Shou Lu Feng see Your Majesty, see the queen mother." His Majesty's mother is coming, and Weichen is far away, hoping that His Majesty's mother will forgive her sins. ”
"Weichen Gaoping County ordered Wang Jianwei to see His Majesty and the Queen Mother."
"Flatten, go in and talk." Nangong Jinchen commanded lightly.
"This ......," Lu Feng said with a look of embarrassment, "The plague is rampant in the city, and I am afraid that it will hurt Your Majesty's noble body." Why don't you move to Cangling County? ”
Nangong Jinchen's tone was a little cold: "I said, go in." ”
Lu Feng trembled in fright, and hurriedly said, "Yes." Your Majesty, mother, please. ”
Entering the city, Mu Ranyue's face suddenly turned a little pale, this is almost a dead city, except for the sound of the breeze blowing gently, almost no sound can be heard, all the houses are closed, whether there is anyone inside is unknown, and the street seems to be filled with a breath of death.
She shrank coldly, and a terrible thought suddenly occurred in her heart, could it be that this has really become an empty city?
She frowned and asked, "Why isn't there anyone in this city?" ”
Lu Feng replied: "Back to Niangniang, most of the people in this city have been infected with the epidemic, and all of these infected patients have been moved to the quarantine area of South Street, and the few remaining who are not infected are so frightened that they will not go out of the door. ”
"What happened to those who were sick?"
"Hui Niangniang, there are less than a thousand left alive now, and the doctor is there all day, but the effect is minimal. And more and more people are getting sick. ”
"You mean, the source of the disease hasn't been found yet?"
Lu Feng nodded a little ashamedly.
"When did it start?"
"Back to my mother, a month ago." This time it was Wang Jianwei, the county magistrate, who answered, "At first, I thought it was just an ordinary plague, and as long as it was well controlled, it would be fine, but who knew that the situation was getting more and more serious." ”
"Isn't there a cure for the epidemic now? Why can't you control it? ”
"Those drugs can only temporarily control the disease, but they can't solve it." Wang Jianwei looked sad.
"Hongu is going to the quarantine zone." Mu Ran Yue said.
Nangong Jinchen's heart trembled, she wanted to stop her, but she also knew her intention to come here, so she didn't say anything.
Lu Feng hurriedly dissuaded: "Niangniang, there are all epidemics there, Niangniang can't go." ”
"This palace knows how to heal, and this time I came to treat the sick." She said lightly.
"But this ......" he looked at Nangong Jinchen with some embarrassment.
Nangong Jinchen only said lightly: "I will also go with me." ”
Lu Feng said at this time: "Yes, Your Majesty, please come here." ”
After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the quarantine area on South Street.
Put on the prepared face towel and go in with the imperial doctors, and Nangong Jinchen also wanted to go in with them, but was stopped by Mu Ranyue: "Your Majesty, don't go in, you go to understand the situation first, I went in with them to treat the disease." ”
He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, you be careful." ”
Mu Ranyue nodded, watching him leave, and with him, there was also the Gaoping County Order.
After entering with the others, I saw that it was full of people lying one after another, all of them were as pale as paper, lifeless, some were awake, some were unconscious, and their mouths were constantly making painful ** sounds, and their consciousness was also very blurred.
And the doctors were also trying their best to diagnose and treat them one by one, and when they saw them coming in, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands, came over and saluted: "I've seen Lord Lu." ”
"This is the Queen's Mother." Lu Feng introduced.
Several doctors looked at each other in shock, shouldn't the queen stay in the deep palace and be pampered? How did you end up in such a dangerous place as the epidemic area?
Seeing that they were all stunned, Lu Feng scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and salute." ”
Only then did they come back to their senses, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The grass people see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”
Mu Ranyue said lightly: "Flat, you don't have to be nervous, this palace knows some medical skills, and I came here to treat the disease." ”
They got up tremblingly, they had grown up in the border city, and they had seen the biggest official that was the county guard, and now they suddenly saw the queen coming, could they not panic?
"How long have they been sick?" Mu Ranyue asked.
"If you go back to Niangniang, these people were all sent over five days ago."
"Five days ago? Wasn't that ...... before?"
The doctors all nodded heavily, "Yes, it's the incompetence of the grass people that ......."
Mu Ranyue walked up to a patient, looked at it casually, lifted his collar slightly, the flesh on his chest was already rotten, and she couldn't help but feel nauseous.
And looking at his arms again, they were basically carrion, and she was shocked, this symptom was really not like an ordinary epidemic.
As soon as her fingertips touched his wrist, the temperature was even hotter, and her brows tightened even more when she checked her pulse.
She asked Ling Ruan Zhong, the imperial physician who was seeing a doctor at the same time, "Did Lord Ruan find anything abnormal?" ”
Ruan Zhong also looked solemn and thought slightly: "Wei Chen thinks that this is not like an ordinary plague, but like a ......."
"Like what?"
Ruan Zhong froze and spit out two words: "Poisoned." ”
Poisoning? As soon as these words came out, they immediately scared the people around them, how could it be poisoning? This is clearly a symptom of the plague.
And Mu Ranyue nodded and said, "This palace also thinks so." ”
She asked Ruan Zhong to get a definite answer.
