Chapter 159: The Plague

Mama Qin stood in place, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth, turned around to the pavilion, and saw that only Yuehua and Xiangshen were there, and as soon as she entered the door, she knelt down with a "plop".

Yuehua was taken aback: "What's the matter?" Hurry up, if you have something to say, you just have something to say. ”

Mama Qin lowered her head: "The old slave came to ask the queen to make a decision early." ”

Yuehua was vaguely uneasy in her heart: "Is it Mama Wei's condition?" ”

Mama Qin nodded.

"What kind of illness can the imperial doctor diagnose?"

Mama Qin nodded: "Imperial Physician Lu said that the matter is very important, and he didn't dare to make a decision for a while, but it is very likely to be the plague." ”

"The plague?" Yuehua stood up suddenly, her face full of horror and disbelief: "How is it possible? ”

Mama Qin kowtowed heavily: "When the first emperor was here, there was an outbreak of plague in the palace, and the symptoms were exactly the same as theirs at that time, so the old slave dared to report to Niangniang to the Tai Hospital to invite the imperial doctor to come and see him."

Although Imperial Physician Lu was not sure, it was just that he felt that the stakes were so important that he did not dare to take this responsibility. Niangniang, while there is no diagnosis yet and the rumors have not been revealed, you should move out of Qingqiu Palace quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome! ”

Yuehua naturally knows the horror of the plague, in the folk, the plague is a frequent infectious disease at the beginning of spring every year, and there is no cure. The disease spreads very quickly, and the patient is lucky to die with his eyes open. Sometimes the epidemic is severe, and many sick people are burned alive to stop the spread of the epidemic.

It's just that the palace is different from the folk, and there are not so many rat infestations, how can there be a spread of plague?

Thinking of this, Yuehua suddenly remembered that two days ago, Mo Guhan specially invited the rat trainer to the Qingqiu Palace to perform "The Mouse Marries the Girl", is it related to the rat trainer?

She was stunned for a moment, and she was a little confused.

Xiangshen's face was pale, his shock calmed down for a moment, he gritted his teeth, and knelt down: "Niangniang, the plague is too terrible, without further ado, you hurry up and listen to Mama Qin, move out, don't take anything with you." ”

"I'm gone, what about you?"

"None of us can step out of the gate of this Qingqiu Palace, we can only live and die. Niangniang, you are different from us lowly maids, go quickly, in a while, someone from the hospital will come, and it will be a little troublesome for you to leave again. After all, this matter is not trivial, if the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling and others take the opportunity to make things difficult, it will not be easy for the Emperor and the Queen Mother to protect you. ”

"What if Ichinomiya has been infected? If I go out, won't I hurt others? ”

Yuehua said this, and Mama Qin was stunned: "The old slave has been a slave for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a heart as Niangniang." Life and death are at stake, why do you still care so much? If you move out of Qingqiu Palace, even if you will be quarantined, you will not be infected.

Do you know that in the last plague, two palaces were blocked, and the two concubines favored by the emperor were all grounded in them, and one of them was not spared, and Xiang Xiaoyu died! ”

Xiangshen heard Mama Qin say this, it was shocking, she knew her master's temperament better, her heart sank, and she stood up from the ground: "I'm sorry, Niangniang, Xiangshen was offended." ”

After that, he turned his head to Mama Qin and said, "Please go out." ”

Mama Qin immediately understood, stepped forward to put an arm with Xiangshen, and was about to carry Yuehua out of Qingqiu Palace strongly. As long as the door of the palace is closed, she will be locked outside the Qingqiu Palace, and she will definitely be safe and sound.

"Listen to me, I can't go!"

Yuehua struggled twice, and before she could defend herself, she heard the sound of footsteps outside the Qingqiu Palace, rushing towards the Qingqiu Palace.

Mama Qin let go of her hand in frustration, and her shoulders fell: "It's late, it's already here." ”

Yuehua already vaguely understood what was happening outside the palace, but she dusted off her sleeves without hurrying, and her face was calm: "You two must not panic, otherwise the people in the palace will be panicked, and I am afraid that it will be more terrible than the plague." ”

Xiang Shen had already changed color, but he just forced his composure: "If the mother is here, the maid is not afraid." ”

Yuehua let out a soft "um", trying to stabilize her mind, not daring to show the slightest panic, and then pushed the door and walked out.

In the courtyard, two palace people had already heard the sound and looked at the door with a panicked face, and when they saw Yuehua, they couldn't help but say uneasily: "Niangniang? ”

Yuehua waved his hand, smiled slightly, and then glanced out of the door, and saw that it was a team of heavily armed Imperial Forest Army, covering their mouths and noses tightly with thick cloth, guarding the door, and the person at the head was still holding a pair of iron locks in his hands.

Yuehua stepped forward, and the Imperial Forest Army took a step back and knelt on the ground: "Niangniang, please stop!" ”

Yuehua smiled slightly: "Whose will was it?" What is the reason? Say, this palace will not embarrass you. ”

The captain of the Imperial Forest Army saw the queen for the first time, and saw that she spoke kindly, and there was no domineering at all, and he spoke respectfully: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the villain is at the will of the Queen Mother, I heard that many palace people in the Qingqiu Palace are suffering from the plague, for fear of harming the little masters, so I ordered the gate of the Qingqiu Palace to be temporarily closed, and it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit." ”

Yuehua nodded: "The queen mother's will naturally dare not disobey, but there are still a few words in the palace that please convey to the queen mother or the emperor." ”

An adult made this usually unpopular squad leader almost flattered: "Niangniang, please speak, the villain will definitely live up to expectations." ”

Yue Hua cleared his throat before he said in a deep voice: "First, the illness in my Qingqiu Palace is indeed suspicious, but it has not been diagnosed, and I ask the Tai Hospital to send another Tai doctor to diagnose it." ”

The squad leader nodded.

"Second, even if there is indeed a plague, only four or five people are sick now, and the others are still unharmed, and I asked the Tai Hospital to send some heat-clearing and disinfecting herbs as a precaution, so as to avoid large-scale infection and control the epidemic."

The team leader thought for a while, and felt that Yuehua's request was reasonable, and it was not too much: "Is there anything else?" ”

Yuehua shook her head calmly: "No." ”

"Yes!" Xiangshen stepped over and kowtowed to the team leader: "Slave and maid, please tell the emperor that Niangniang is safe and sound now, and she has not been infected with the epidemic, please take Niangniang out of Qingqiu Palace and live in another place." ”

"Xiangshen!" Yuehua frowned and scolded: "This palace said that you won't leave, do you want to disobey this palace?" ”

"Niangniang, it is useless to stay in Qingqiu Palace, even if you stay here, you will not be able to stop the spread of the epidemic, and you will just put on your own precious body."

Yuehua shook her head categorically: "As long as the palace stays here, the Tai Hospital will send people over to control the epidemic." As soon as the main palace is gone, won't you just fend for yourselves, waiting for death? ”

Yuehua's words moved all the guards outside the door, and they glanced at each other, only showing their eyes outside the scarf, flashing with respect.

In this cold Forbidden City, the master is as noble as a god, high up, overlooking them, these palace guards who are as humble as ants, talking and laughing, they can turn over the clouds and rain, and decide life and death with a word, and they will not take their life and death in their eyes at all.

And Yuehua put life and death aside in order to serve his palace people, and chose to stay and live and die with them desperately, how can it not be moving?

The team leader nodded, and said in a sonorous tone: "Niangniang, don't worry, the villain will definitely bring Niangniang's words." In the past two days, I have wronged my mother, don't go in and out for the time being, if you need any use, just ask, my subordinates will definitely convey it on your behalf. ”

After shaking the chain in his hand, Yuehua understood what he meant, took two steps back, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help but speak: "There is ...... Please tell the emperor that you must not set foot in the Qingqiu Palace and take care of the dragon body for the people of the world. ”

The squad leader surrendered, and the gate of Qingqiu Palace slowly closed, and with a "bang", it was locked outside. The whole courtyard seemed to suddenly darken, dull and depressing, and it was a little breathless.

Yuehua stood in place, stunned for a long time, smiled bitterly, and slowly turned around, only to find that in addition to Xiangshen and Mama Qin, there were also six or seven palace people kneeling behind him, silent, and his eyes were all red.

Yuehua knew that this matter could not be hidden from them, and after knowing it, she must have been frightened and frightened. can only reluctantly comfort: "Don't be afraid, Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, and God will bless our Qingqiu Palace." ”

A little eunuch shook his head firmly: "Niangniang, to be honest, we are indeed afraid of death, but we are not afraid, we just want to kowtow to Niangniang and thank Niangniang for not giving up." ”

"Yes, thank you for never giving up and kowtowing to your mother." When the other palace man said this, his voice trembled, and he was already crying.

Several palace people knelt on the ground together, their feelings were sincere, and they were really revealed.

Yuehua felt a hot current in her heart for a moment, she did something she took for granted, but she didn't expect to gain a lot of gratitude.

One of her Chu Yuehua's lives was once as cheap as a mustard, so she cherished every life, even if it was just a lowly palace person. What's more, Mama Wei and her depend on each other for their lives, just like a loved one, how could she abandon her and run away and seek a way to survive by herself?

"Things may not be as terrible as you think, haven't they been diagnosed yet? You don't have to panic, listen to the instructions of the palace, and immediately cover your mouth and nose tightly with a clean cotton cloth. From now on, eat all meals and minimise contact with each other.

We set aside another spacious room to move the sick palace people to one place and isolate them. Then sprinkle lime water and hot vinegar on all corners, and save yourself before the arrival of the imperial doctor. The emperor is benevolent and loves the people, and he will never die without help. ”

Yuehua is here, it is equivalent to giving everyone a reassuring pill, seeing that the emperor loves the queen so much, he will naturally not ignore it, and will definitely send the imperial doctor over.

Everyone immediately took action and began to clean up and disinfect according to Yuehua's instructions.

When those palace people who had begun to have a fever and cough heard the news, they inevitably panicked and cried. However, Mama Wei understood Yuehua's painstaking efforts, and persuaded her again and again, and her emotions were all barely stabilized.

Until the night was dark, the hospital did not send anyone over, but sent a batch of antipyretic, cough, anti-virus herbs, with a boiling recipe attached to it.

The team leader was a little embarrassed, and Yuehua knew that he must have touched a nail in front of the Queen Mother.

The sky above the Qingqiu Palace was filled with a strong aroma of herbs, and the entire Qingqiu Palace was quiet and peaceful, but it was more calm than the panicked outside.
