Chapter 5: The Plague

Jun Yan thought that Mr. would come back every ten days, but he would come back in only five days, and as soon as Mr. came back, it meant that he had to continue to go to morning class every day.

Jun Hao had already gotten permission from his father and could have gone to class with him, but he didn't expect that the cold disease he contracted when he was a child suddenly recurred, and he could only lie in bed to recuperate.

To Jun Yan's surprise, the gentleman, who had always looked at him unaccustomed to him on weekdays, had changed a little since he came back from leave, and he was not deliberately making things difficult for him, nor was he making some strange problems for him to solve, but he was a little uncomfortable.

You must know that the relationship between the two was very poor before, Jun Yan teased him a lot in class, if it weren't for his status as the third prince and the emperor's favor, he would have resigned a long time ago.

After teaching for many years, he has never taught such a stubborn student, even the plaything is not enough to describe the gentleman in his eyes, but despite this, he has to admit that he also has some appreciation for him.

Jun Yan would go to Funing Palace to visit Jun Hao every day after morning class, he hadn't had this cold disease for several years, but he didn't expect this attack to be so sudden and so serious.

"Look at your face, it's so white, brother, I feel distressed when I see it." After speaking, he pinched his face.

Jun Hao didn't speak, and his face was a little hot when he heard his somewhat flirtatious tone, but fortunately, because he was weak, his face was pale and he couldn't see anything unusual.

"Don't worry, the Imperial Doctor said that as long as you don't get out of bed soon, I will instruct the imperial dining room to make some health supplements for you every day."

Jun Yan was a little worried when he saw that he didn't speak, just stared at him stupidly, and thought to himself, could it be that this cold disease would hurt his brain? Who knew that he suddenly said: "Brother, thank you." ”

It's the first time he's heard the word thank you from his mouth when he's grown so big, how did he treat him well before, but he never heard him say thank you! He touched the back of his head and said, "Thank you, I'm your brother, let's talk about it!" I said that I will always protect you from being hurt in the future, and I will definitely let the Imperial Doctor find a cure for this cold disease, don't worry! ”

"Hmm."

After a few months, the drought situation was finally alleviated, and Yongzhou's water source was delivered to the disaster area through repaired terraces, solving the local water shortage problem.

However, a plague more terrible than the drought spread in the Yufeng area.

Nanyuan has been in good weather for so many years, and the country is safe and secure, but this year, there have been a series of natural disasters, and the incident happened suddenly, making people unprepared.

"Ugh." Jun Ye put down the fold in his hand and rubbed his temples with his hands.

"Your Majesty, you better rest early, it's not too late to watch these twists and turns tomorrow." After speaking, Gonggong An put the longan lotus seed soup in his hand on the table, "This is sent by Miao Meiren." ”

Jun Ye glanced at the bowl on the table, lowered his head and continued to review the fold, "There are still things to do tomorrow." ”

Gonggong An didn't say much, and stood aside silently, he knew the emperor's stubborn temper, except for the concubine who was afraid that no one would listen to him, he was worried that the emperor's body would always be unbearable.

Most of the notes on the table were about the plague and the courtiers offered a strategy, but what were these words, if the plague was as easy to solve as they said, so many people would not have died because of the plague, and now the most important thing was to send someone to find out the cause of the plague outbreak first, and he already had a candidate in mind.

This person is none other than the crown prince of the East Palace, King's Landing.

King's Landing never expected that his father would actually hand over the matter of finding the cause of the outbreak of the plague to him, since the death of his mother, his father has not paid much attention to him, but he has never treated him badly, he has all the rights that the prince should have, even if he sits aggrievedly in the position of the lord of the East Palace, it is not much better than his unfavored fourth brother.

"Lin'er, my father handed over this matter to you to deal with personally, what do you think?"

When the ministers below heard that the emperor was going to hand over the matter to the crown prince, they couldn't help but discuss it one after another.

The emperor has never paid attention to the crown prince, although he often brought him to the court to watch the government, but he did not let him interfere in the handling of the government, everyone also saw that the prince was a little unwilling to be here, and who is the position of the king of this country in the future, maybe, of course, as loyal ministers, no matter who the emperor will give the throne to in the end, they will do their best to assist, but from the past, the emperor is obviously more fond of the three princes, what is the emperor's intention to do today.

At this time, someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, the prince is the prince, if he catches the plague after going, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Everyone didn't expect this, what if the prince accidentally contracted the plague, could it be that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity......

"Presumptuous, I let the prince deal with it personally, but how can I not care about his safety, Lord Xuan means that I want to harm the prince's life."

Speaking of which, Master Xuan can be regarded as having some kinship with the prince, and it is natural that he will worry about the prince's safety. "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister has no such intention, and the minister implores the emperor to allow the minister to go with the prince."

Jun Ye didn't answer him, but looked at Jun Lin and said, "What does the prince think?" ”

"The sons are grateful to their fathers, they can solve the hardships of the people, and the sons can't ask for it, so thank you Lord Xuan." After saying that, he smiled at him.

"Okay, one day, you will take Imperial Doctor Liu and others to Yufeng County to find out the cause of the outbreak of the plague first."

"The retainers obey."

On the day of the prince's departure, Jun Ye stood on the city wall to see him off in person, looking at the people who were gradually moving away, he said in his heart: Lin'er, I hope you will not live up to your father's expectations of you.

Also coming to see him off was Prince Yu, who leaned slightly and whispered to the people next to him: "Send someone to protect the prince secretly, and you must not let the prince have any mistakes." ”

"Yes, lord."

Seven days later, King's Landing and his party arrived in Yufeng County.

It's not that Nanyuan hasn't had plagues before, but every time the epidemic was discovered before it spread, so it was prevented in time, but this time it happened suddenly, and there was no warning at all, which was really a bit tricky.

When King's Landing arrived at its destination, he sent people to isolate all those infected with the plague, but the root cause was not found for a long time, and people died every day because of the plague.

"Doctor Liu, what did you find?"

Imperial Physician Liu put down the medical book in his hand and shook his head, he found that these people seemed to be infected with the plague, but it was more like they were poisoned, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, if they were poisoned, they would not be able to infect others.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest assured, give Imperial Doctor Liu some more time, he will definitely be able to find out the reason."

"Let's go and rest, and continue to study tomorrow."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Xuan should go and rest first."

"Don't be too tired with Imperial Doctor Liu."

"Yes."

After sending the two away, he turned around and put away the medical skills, and took out an ancient book from the library, which was full of records about poison, and he wanted to see if his speculation was correct.

After staying up all night and still not finding anything, he saw that it was almost dawn and planned to rest for a while, got up and blew out the candle on the table and went back to the room, who knew that before he could lie down, someone hurriedly ran in and said that Master Xuan was also infected with the plague.

As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly got dressed and went over, and on the way he kept thinking that those infected people had been isolated, how could this Lord Xuan be infected with the plague for no reason.

When he got there, he found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also at the door, and when he saw him, he came over and took his hand and said, "Imperial Doctor Liu, you must save Master Xuan!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured." After speaking, he took the face towel in his hand, covered his mouth and nose, and walked in.

King's Landing wanted to follow up, but was stopped.

The man spoke with some embarrassment: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't go in, be careful of being infected!" ”

"Bring a face towel for Hongu too."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, your noble status is unbearable, if something happens to you, the little ones won't be able to save their heads."

Seeing that they were embarrassed, King's Landing had to stand guard outside the door, in fact, he was also afraid of contracting the plague, but this Lord Xuan had always taken good care of him, and he was worried that something would happen to him, so he wanted to go and see him.

After Doctor Liu went in, he saw that the person lying on the bed was unconscious, and he observed for a while and found that this Xuan Master had no other symptoms except for a high fever that did not go away, and he was obviously infected with wind and cold.

He went out, closed the door, and took off the face towel. "Who said that Master Xuan was infected with the plague?"

The person standing on the edge stood up and said, "Back to Imperial Doctor Liu's words, it was a small one. ”

"Master Xuan only had a high fever because of the wind and cold, why do you say that he is infected with the plague?"

"Imperial Doctor Liu, the little one dares to guarantee that Master Xuan is infected with the plague."

"Why?"

"There is a relative in the small family, who had this symptom before he was infected with the plague, exactly the same as Lord Xuan!"

"Is that true?"

The man was a little excited when he saw that Imperial Doctor Liu was going to blame him, so he quickly knelt on the ground. "What the little one said is so true, if Doctor Liu doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the little one's house to ask and find out if it's true or not."

"Did Master Xuan eat anything last night?"

"Back to Imperial Doctor Liu, Master Xuan ate the same food as us last night, and he didn't ask anyone to deliver anything at night."

"If that's the case, it's strange, it can't be ...... for no reason"

"There's... There are others. "King's Landing remembered that on the way back to his room last night, a subordinate brought him some tea, and he didn't drink it before he was picked up by Master Xuan." Master Xuan drank a cup of tea last night. ”

"Who sent it?"

Those subordinates looked at each other, no one went to bring tea to Master Xuan last night.

"The man isn't here." Although it was night that his face could not be seen clearly, King's Landing saw that there was no one resembling the man.

"Send someone to investigate, you must find out who sent the tea to Master Xuan last night, the problem must be in the tea."

Jun Lin's body trembled, and his face suddenly lost its color, if it was really as Imperial Doctor Liu said, the problem was in that cup of tea, if Master Xuan hadn't taken it last night, wouldn't it be him who was lying unconscious inside at the moment, who wanted to harm him. "Imperial Doctor Liu, you must save Master Xuan!"

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest assured, the minister will definitely do his best to save Lord Xuan, as long as you find the person who delivered the water, all the problems will be solved, you few look at Lord Xuan, as soon as there are any symptoms, come and inform me immediately."
