Chapter 233: Priorities

The news of Ning Ze's injury was quickly transmitted back to Shaoliang City.

Originally, it was just Ning Ze who was bitten by the refugees, but when it was transmitted back to Shaoliang, it directly became Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan, and contracted the plague.

It is estimated that if Ning Ze was infected with the plague, then when it reached Shaoliang City, it would have already become Ning Ze dead.

The people who delivered the news broke their legs, after all, their own bamboo is strictly concerned about every move in this Guangchuan county, except for the already known General Fang Jie is a wreck, isn't the other Lord Qingming and Guanghan King Ning Ze?

No one really cares about the life or death of the refugee, unless they are idle.

The news reached the capital two days later. The news of Ning Ze's illness has already shocked the entire government and the opposition.

Ning Ze, the minister of Wei, contracted the plague, and His Majesty sent the best imperial physician to Guangchuan County.

Princess Ji Xue was even more seriously ill in bed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was anxious to rush to Guangchuan County.

There was a mess in the court, not to mention the ministers in the court.

In the past, the power team centered on Ning Ze, or the ministers who were attached to Ning Ze, after learning about this matter, were even more scattered.

To put it simply, it is to find the next family, but in the court of the Wei State, there is no one with more influence than Ning Ze.

Of course, there are also many ministers who are loyal to Ning Ze who resolutely do not believe that the prince has been infected with the plague, and everyone knows what it means to be infected with the plague.

At the beginning, there was no rumor in the court that the prince was going to Guangchuan County, or after they set off.

Only then did they know that the prince had already gone to Guangchuan County, of course, he couldn't stop it at that time.

Helplessly, the ministers who were very loyal to Ning Ze could only pray that he would come back safely.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. There was still bad news from Guangchuan County that they least wanted to hear.

Although the news from many sources is likely to be true, everything is still to wait for the prince to come back, even if he is dead, there will be a corpse back, right?

After the people of Shaoliang City knew about this incident, some of them were grateful for Ning Ze's care for them at the beginning, and they were already crying at the door.

Although the Guanghan Palace's obituary has not yet been published, the people in Shaoliang City have already tacitly accepted that Ning Ze is a dead man.

If Ning Ze knew at this time that he had been ranked, he didn't know what kind of mood he would have.

But what is certain is that for the time being, Ning Ze is not dead, and is being treated by Imperial Physician Qiu.

After being bitten by a refugee that day, Qi Shu has been guarding him and never leaving him.

In this regard, Ning Ze was very excited, and said that if he could get such care from Qi Shu, he would be willing to bite a few more times, and he was afraid that there was something wrong with this person.

But Qi Shu definitely couldn't keep guarding him all the time, things in the city were still in full swing, and this was a critical period. Of course, Qi Shu couldn't let go of this opportunity.

The next morning, Qi Shu went to rescue the refugees with the soldiers, and yesterday alone, about 500 refugees were treated.

Qi Shu knew that Guangchuan County was not small, and there must be no more than 500 people in it, unless everyone died.

According to Ning's own estimates, there are at least two or three thousand people alive in it.

This is still calculated according to his estimate of 1/10 of the total population.

Qi Shu also agreed with Ning Ze's idea, thinking that there were more than 500 people inside.

So after what happened yesterday, he decided to extend it for another two or three days to wait for the refugees.

Those who can wait for them to come out are people who can still walk, and if they can't wait for them to come out, then it is likely that they are lying in it and dying.

But even if he knew that they were dying, Qi Shu could not risk the danger and rush in with the soldiers.

According to what he said before, he will only take a small number of people who are willing to follow him into the county town of Guangchuan to search for and rescue those refugees who have not been able to climb out.

If you can find as much as you can, you can find as much as you can, and if you can't find it, you can only give up.

After all, it has been delayed for too long, and if it had come as early as Fang Jie had done at the beginning, it would definitely not be the situation it is now.

At noon the next day, Qi Shu returned to Ning Ze's military tent to check on his situation, and what could slightly reassure him was that there was nothing abnormal about him.

The next night, Qi Shu came back from outside again, still asking about Ning Ze's situation, Ning Ze still had no surprises, in his words, he could eat, drink, and sleep, but he needed company.

For the latter requirement, Qi Shu selectively ignored it.

On the third, fourth, and even fifth days, there was nothing unusual.

But just when Qi Shu wanted to relax a little, Ning Ze actually fainted on the sixth day.

After fainting, it was accompanied by high temperatures and high fevers, and Ning Ze's whole body was about to burn.

What he said was also gibberish, and people couldn't understand what he was saying.

At least the entourage around Ning Ze didn't know what the prince was talking about.

Just because others can't understand doesn't mean that Qi Shu can't understand, Ning Ze's mouth is full of things related to him.

The first few days were fine, why did something suddenly happen on the sixth day?

Your uncle hated to pull Qiu Taiyi's collar and asked him what was going on?

Why did it suddenly change when it was fine a few days ago? Suddenly I fainted and had a high fever?

The explanation for seeking the imperial doctor for this is probably because it didn't show it a few days ago, and it didn't break out until later, and according to the current situation, Ning Ze is very likely to have the plague.

And the sixth day happened to be the day when Qi Shu was going to bring people into Guangchuan County, and she was going to go in to search and rescue the refugees inside. And Ning Ze didn't know what her plan was on time.

With Ning Ze in a daze on one side and refugees in Guangchuan County on the other, Qi Shu had a hard time choosing.

Yan Jun had already discussed with Qi Shu that he would set off this afternoon, and so far there were more than 3,000 refugees who had come out of Guangchuan County.

This is a somewhat gratifying figure, because in Yan Jun's opinion, it is a miracle that the people inside did not die. The county lord and the prince have done a good job, and they have done their duty.

Therefore, when Yan Jun knew that the prince might be infected with the plague, he was also very worried.

Every day, the prince's situation is not gone, and he can see it from the county lord's face when he inquires.

What also surprised Yan Jun was that he was very good at the beginning, and there was nothing abnormal, but why did he suddenly faint after that?

Right now, he is outside the prince's military tent, and the county lord is also inside, I don't know what the situation is inside, it's about time for them to set off, and I don't know if I should remind the county lord.

In fact, the county lord doesn't have to go, they also have similar search and rescue experience, and now it's important for the county lord to take care of the prince, and leave the matter of birth to them!

Looking up at the sky outside, today is cloudy and slightly windy, not hot, it is a good opportunity for search and rescue.

Yan Jun pondered outside for a while, preparing to say something when he went in, in general, he told the county lord that she didn't need her when she went into the city to search and rescue, so that she could concentrate on taking care of the prince, and see that the two of them looked like a small couple.

Just as he was about to go in, it happened that someone in the military tent seemed to have opened the curtain and came out first, it was Qi Shu.

"County Lord!" Yan Jun immediately took two steps back, then bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Well, Vice General Yan, let's go." Qi Shu glanced at Yan Jun, and then walked out, it was almost noon for the time to leave for the city.

"County Lord, how is the situation of the prince now?" Yan Jun hesitated, but did not keep up with Qi Shu's footsteps.

Qi Shu was upset, and when she heard Yan Jun ask like this, she also felt very irritable, but her etiquette and upbringing made her unable to shout at others or anything, so she could only shake her head helplessly and say that Ning Ze's situation was not very good now.

"County Lord, subordinates say more, the prince has a deep affection for the county lord, and the county lord's identity is noble, so leave the affairs in the city to us!"

Qi Shu couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard the deep meaning of love, could the people next to him see that he admired her?

"A few days ago, we can see that the prince is very concerned about the county lord, whether it is the usual food, clothing, housing and transportation or the night vigil for you, we are all in the eyes, the county lord can not lose a big because of a small thing." Especially now that Prince Ning Ze is in a very dangerous period, he can't leave his side.

What the? He still keeps vigil for her at night? How did she not know? Qi Shu's eyes widened in surprise.

"It seems that Miss County Lord is not aware of this, if Miss County Lord still insists on following us into the city, then let's go into the city." Yan Jun didn't know what to say.

It is said that the woman is sensitive and slender, how does he think that the prince is as careful as dust, and the county lord in front of him is a little careless and incomprehensible. How could Yan Jun know that Ning Ze had been pursuing Qi Shu for a long time, and there was still no result.

Yan Jun just left Qi Shu down and left, regardless of whether she followed or not.

Qi Shu really didn't move, just stood there blankly, reminiscing about Yan Jun's words.

In fact, what she wanted in her heart was to stay with Ning Ze, but she had told the soldiers that she had agreed, but Ning Ze suddenly fell down, so she really couldn't react.

Yan Jun was right, it is true that she can't walk away at this time, Ning Ze won't lie to him, he said that guarding her on the roof must be guarding her, and now this situation should indeed be her turn to guard him.

Don't go!

He regretted it not long after Yan Jun left, the other party was the county lord and his top superior, how dare he talk to his superior like this? Dizzy? But he felt that what he said was right, after all, the county lord was a little unsure of priorities.

In the afternoon, Yan Jun set off in full gear, but Qi Shuzhen didn't come, which made Yan Jun feel very relieved, and the county lord really listened to what he said, and he really didn't come to take care of the prince. I hope that those doctors will be able to figure out how to deal with the plague as soon as possible.

Qi Shu stayed in Ning Ze's military tent and took care of Ning Ze inch by inch, while Imperial Physician Qiu led the doctors to constantly try all kinds of different medicinal materials on people who had been infected with the plague to see if there was anything that could have an effect.

Some doctors and servants have contracted the plague in the process, but there is no way, no one can think of a cure now, so they can only wait to see when there will be a turnaround.

The treatment of refugees in Guangchuan County is in full swing, and Shaoliang City has sent many people to rush here.

Among them, there was a specially transferred imperial doctor to treat Ning Ze, but more came to inquire whether Ning Ze was dead, and he was still on the way.

For a while, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Shaoliang City, and the Qingming County Lord who came with Ning Ze before didn't have much news, after all, most people thought that women could do anything.

But there are also people who really sent someone to find out the news of Qi Shu, similar to Ning Ze's, and they also came to find out if she was infected or dead.

These two people have to say that they are really quite sympathetic, and they are both quite hated.

Qi Shuyi looked at Ning Ze inseparably, but the high heat on Ning Ze's forehead never went down, and she was afraid that Ning Ze's head would be stupid and confused by then.

According to a doctor's suggestion, Qi Shu wrung the cold handkerchief and put it on Ning Ze's head, waited until the handkerchief became hot, then immersed it in water again, then wrung it out and put it back on.

As for Ning Ze's body, he used wine to wipe it, saying that it could dispel poison and eliminate fever, although I don't know if this is true or not, but since it was said by the doctor, the other doctors did not refute it, so Qi Shu also followed the method he said to wipe Ning Ze's body every day.

In this process, Qi Shu often felt shy and became red-faced, because she would always come into contact with Qi Shu's smooth skin, and the guards next to her helped to remove the clothes on Ning Ze's body except for the obscene pants, so the naked man's upper body Qi Shu would still feel embarrassed when he saw it.

But when the doctors were treating Ning Ze, she felt that her attitude should not be so cowardly. The guards brought by Ning Ze naturally have their own things to do, in general, the manpower is still relatively tight, and if Ning Ze is taken advantage of by the bad guys at this time, then Qi Shu really can't afford to take this responsibility.

Therefore, Qi Shu could only take care of Ning Ze carefully without pretending to be someone else's hand.

But to be honest, although Ning Ze is very thin, his masculinity is very elegant and extravagant, not like ordinary people, the texture on his chest is distinct, and the cherry blossoms make Qi Shu's face blush and heartbeat every time.

When he stared at him, he always felt that he was going to be discovered, so he turned his face in a panic, trying to remind himself that Ning Ze might wake up at any time, so he couldn't peek blindly.

Qi Shu didn't care about whether Ning Ze would infect herself with the epidemic, and her wish at the moment was that Ning Ze could quickly return to his former appearance.
