Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Plague!
ο»Ώ
Although Duanmu Xinmiao said that Shen Shujing would be fine after drinking the fetal pills for two or three days, Wei Changying considered that her niece had left after smelling the musk, and Duanmu Xinmiao had nothing to do when she returned to the imperial capital, so Suo Xing left her to live in Yuzhu Town for a while.
After three or five days like this, Shen Shu's prosperity recovered, and his originally thin jaw became rounded. Because he returned to his parents' house, Shen Shujing didn't need to deliberately perfunctory anyone, and with his cousin and cousin by his side, his life was quiet and happy, and he couldn't stop laughing at the corners of his eyes.
Seeing such a big niece, Wei Changying was of course very happy, and deliberately asked the Huang family to make a few dishes for Duanmu Xinmiao in a different way.
On this day, the Huang family personally cooked a few light and delicious side dishes, and Wei Changying asked someone to take a small jar of wine and drink a few cups with Duanmu Xinmiao.
The two were talking about trivial things in their daily routines, and between them and Lele, they heard someone come over and say, "General Lu asks to see!" Because he saw the wine and food on the table, he was afraid that Wei Changying would not be the right thing, so he hurriedly added, "General Lu has an urgent matter to ask to see the queen!" Please go to the front hall immediately to counsel! β
Lu Shengping was born as the son of the Shen family, and he was regarded as the most loyal and trustworthy humerus of the Shen family in Xiliang, and he was the most careful and calm among the generals under Shen Zangfeng, so he was left to command the rear army and entrust his family. Coupled with the solemn expression of the subordinate, Wei Changying did not dare to slack off, and confessed to Duanmu Xinmiao, and hurried to the front hall after changing her dress.
"General Lu, I don't know what the urgency is?" After Wei Changying entered the door, because Lu Shengping's background was both a general and a half-servant, and he was not an outsider, so there was no need to cover up. She looked down at it, but saw that Lu Shengping, who had always been calm, actually had sweat faintly on his forehead...... It's going to be late autumn!
Wei Changying's heart sank, for fear of hearing some bad news, so he asked in a deep voice before he sat down!
"Back to the queen, the last general has just received a pigeon letter from Yanzhou, saying that there is a severe epidemic in the army......"
"There is a severe epidemic in the army?!" Before Lu Shengping finished speaking, Wei Changying had changed his face, "Is it serious?" Husband, they?! "The so-called severe epidemic is not the name of a disease, but a general term for a serious epidemic! Generally speaking, those who can be called severe plagues either spread very quickly or die quickly!
All in all, once a severe epidemic occurs, it is definitely not a trivial matter!
"The lord and other generals have not yet found signs of the epidemic, but the soldiers are infected with the plague!" Lu Shengping said busily.
Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a big deal that the soldiers fell ill one after another, but her husband was okay and he always let go of the snack. She calmed down and asked straight to the point, "So what are we going to do now?" β
Lu Shengping did not hesitate: "The valve owner wants to invite Miss Duanmu Ba to take a look!" β
Wei Changying frowned: "Xin Miao...... These days are right here for me. However, she is a girl's family, and she is the concubine of Jinxiutang, and this epidemic is in the army again, not very good? Or write down the signs of the epidemic and let Xin Miao see it? β
Splendid Duanmu is declining again, and the status of the six valves in China is still recognized. Duanmu Xinmiao is also the only remaining descendant of the Duanmu family after the change, and it is already humiliating to ask her to go to the army for treatment, especially the epidemic - the Duanmu family will definitely not agree! Even if the side branch hopes that Duanmu Xinmiao will die, so that Duanmu Wuwu will have one less help, but for the sake of Duanmu's family, they don't want Duanmu Xinmiao's unmarried daughter to run to the barracks full of men!
Duanmu Xinmiao himself may not necessarily agree!
There are no important people in the Duanmu family this time - Duanmu Xinmiao's most valued sister and nephew are in the imperial capital, how can she be willing to leave these two people to take this risk? Besides, there is no such fetters, she is just in her youth, why bother to wade into such troubled waters!
"Queen! Since the outbreak of this severe epidemic five days ago, more than 3,000 people have died, all of whom are elite deaths. Lu Shengping made a gesture and said word by word!
"What?!" Wei Changying gasped, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and said in disbelief, "What kind of epidemic is so fast?!" β
Although she has never experienced the plague, she has also read it in books, generally speaking, when the epidemic breaks out, unless there are old and young, and there are people who are particularly weak, it can always drag on for a few days, not to mention long, ten days and half a month, it can always be done, right?
Especially this time there is an outbreak of epidemic in the army - soldiers are always stronger than ordinary people, right? Lu Shengping also said that it was a fine pawn, and the elite pawn was cultivated at a great cost! Even if such a person is infected, he should have lasted a little longerβand!
"Earlier, Doctor Ji gave prescriptions for common epidemic diseases in the army, could it be that there is something wrong with the medicinal materials?" Wei Changying then asked urgently!
Lu Shengping said with a wry smile: "Queen, you misunderstood, the medicinal materials are very complete, but this epidemic has never been seen, the middle one often dies at dawn and night, none of the prescriptions given by Doctor Ji work!" Not even relief! Now the military doctors are more than dead...... The problem now is that the epidemic occurred after the army entered Yanzhou. The problem is that the Rong people who lived in Yanzhou a few days ago were safe and sound, and the Rong people even spread rumors everywhere, saying that the reason why our Wei army was infected with the severe epidemic this time was because of their great sacrifice, and they were blessed by the great sacrifice before the expedition, so they were able to survive the epidemic! β
Wei Changying's face was blue and white: "Death ...... the morning and evening" She had never heard of such a fierce epidemic in this world!
"No wonder the husband disregarded the difference between men and women, as well as Xin Miao's identity, and passed the pigeon letter to Lu Shengping to find Xin Miao. This unheard-of epidemic, apart from the Ji Shen Doctor, who else can be counted on? But this plague is terrible! Three thousand elite soldiers died in five days, or they died at dawn and evening! It is conceivable that even if you find a cure in time, once your hands and feet are slow, you can only watch people die! β
It's just too dangerous......
Wei Changying was fighting fiercely in his heart, but he also knew that this matter was extremely critical, Lu Shengping didn't say whose family these three thousand elite soldiers were, but since Shen Zangfeng sent a letter back, even if it wasn't all the Xiliang Army, it was estimated that it accounted for a large proportion of the Xiliang Army - not to mention that this kind of epidemic prevention and control methods in the past were useless and people died so quickly......
Even if it hasn't been infected in your own army for the time being, how can you rest assured?!
In the time she was in a dilemma, there were soldiers who were constantly dying......
She bit Chun, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll ask Xin Miao, it's just that this epidemic is so dangerous, she ...... I'm afraid she won't be willing to go! β
Lu Shengping lowered his head and said, "Queen, the lord has emphasized in the letter that you must invite Miss Eight and her party!" "This means that even if Duanmu Xinmiao refuses, she will be tied up!
Wei Changying's whole person trembled, only from this order, she had already felt Shen Zangfeng's attention to this epidemic and the urgency of hoping that Duanmu Xinmiao would rush away!
Walking hurriedly on the way back to the back hall, she felt that she had never felt so sad: although Duanmu Xinmiao was her sister-in-law, she was really like her own sister over the years.
Although the two joked from time to time and dismantled each other's irrelevant platforms, they were sincere after all. If she could, Wei Changying really didn't want her to go to Yanzhou to take this risk!
But it was Shen Zangfeng who was in charge of the overall situation in Yanzhou, and he would rather offend the Duanmu family than order Shen Zangfeng, who tied up Duanmu Xinmiao and went to Yanzhou......
On one side is a female companion who is regarded as a sister, and on the other side is a loving husband......
Wei Changying didn't know whether to persuade Duanmu Xinmiao to escape, or persuade her to return to the doctor's benevolence......
"Why not?" It's just that to Wei Changying's expectations, she rushed to the back hall and talked to Duanmu Xinmiao, who was still pouring herself a drink, and Duanmu Xinmiao immediately put down the wine cup and got up, expressing her willingness to leave immediately!
Seeing Wei Changying's surprised face, Duanmu Xinmiao smiled: "There are a lot of symptoms of dying in the morning and evening." But the so-called endless road of heaven and earth, so in the plague, this kind of thing is rarely seen. As a doctor, what's wrong with being able to encounter such an unprecedented epidemic? β
Wei Chang Yinghu said suspiciously: "The prescriptions given by Doctor Ji to prevent epidemics are not working, you have to think about it......"
"Isn't the third brother okay?" Duanmu Xinmiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Why should I have something to do if I go?" β
"......" Wei Changying was silent for a short time, and was about to speak, but he didn't want to say again: "Besides, such a good opportunity, I can't miss it!" Seeing that Wei Changying was dazed, Duanmu Xinmiao smiled, "Have you forgotten that my eldest sister's only heir, my nephew, is the grandson of the Great Wei Emperor?!" β
Wei Changying suddenly came to her senses - Duanmu Xinmiao was willing to agree to go to Yanzhou, not necessarily to see any serious epidemic! It's for Shen Sui!
"My eldest sister is such a son, and she can live to this day because of this son, supporting her to survive the days when my eldest brother-in-law is gone!"
Duanmu Xinmiao sighed, put down the wine cup in a complicated way, looked at her seriously, and said, "But Sui'er is the king of Cai of Great Wei, the grandson of Huanzong, and the nephew of Suzong!" My Duanmu family is now withered, and this sect can't even suppress its own side branches, let alone shelter him in the future? New Dynasty ...... No matter who established the new dynasty, after that, with Sui'er's blood closeness in the Shen royal family, how could it not be eradicated? So you think that this plague is a disaster, but I see my nephew's way of life - I, the eighth lady of the Duanmu family, have no other skills except for this medical skill, and I can rely on medical skills to save my nephew, why should I die?! β
Wei Changying suddenly burst into tears: "You can go this way, your third brother and I are already very emotional!" Don't think about it! King Cai has always been quiet and gentle, who can he hinder? She heard it, Duanmu Xinmiao's words were already in Tuogu: if she could solve this epidemic, then she would use this credit to exchange Shen Zangfeng and others for Shen Sui's chance to live.
If she can't fix it...... Then she will also die in the epidemic, and use this love to fight for her nephew's life!γ
