Chapter 516, Winter Plague

The forty-fourth winter of Qianlong.

There was a sudden outbreak of winter plague in Gyeonggi, for this winter plague, Yongying was prophetic, so he secretly prepared early in the morning, and there were special medical officers in the palace, as soon as the winter plague broke out, he immediately ordered to avoid the palace gate, and the medicine to prevent and control the plague was immediately boiled, and it was distributed up and down, and all the hospitals also smoked wormwood.

In addition, once there is a headache and fever, or neck swelling, suppuration and other symptoms, they will be moved out of the palace.

Yingyue also urgently ordered all the maids and grandmothers who knew how to sew and sew masks, and each person must be equipped with more than two sets for steaming, drying and washing every day.

With such internal and external defense, everything in Chengwang's mansion, although there was also a headache and brain fever, was moved out, but it was just an ordinary wind and cold, not a winter plague.

This plague has different names throughout the year, spring is called spring plague, summer is called time plague, autumn is called autumn plague, and winter is called winter plague.

Plagues, regardless of the season, were feared and high-risk infectious diseases in ancient times. If one person gets sick, one family is infected, the light one is eight or nine out of ten, and the heavy one is one or two.

Although in modern times, the plague has long ceased to exist, Yingyue still does not dare to underestimate it. It is true that with her human immortal realm, she has long been not afraid of such diseases, but her children are still young. Yingyue is like a hen guarding her cubs, and she directly rests Mianmao Mianyou under her nose.

It's a pity that Mianyu is studying in the palace, and Yingyue really wants to take him back at the moment.

But fortunately, it is better to strictly guard the palace in the palace, so the winter plague has not been infected into the palace.

Ying Yue is more worried about the body bones of His Majesty Qianlong, His Majesty the Emperor fell ill when he hit the twilight of autumn, and has not been getting better intermittently, and now the winter plague in Gyeonggi is rampant, and the Shuntian Mansion Yin is not effective in treatment, and more and more people are dying, and it is almost too late to bury them.

For this reason, His Majesty Qianlong dragged his sick body to stay up all night and bothered, and he fainted directly this morning.

"Alas......" Ying Yue sighed, full of anxiety, but did not forget to order: "I saw that the sun was out, hurry up and take out the futon or something, and dry it." ”

Sunlight is the best sterilization weapon, although the winter sun is thinner, better than nothing.

"The windows are also opened, and then closed in half an hour." Ying Yue ordered to burn herbs all day long, and the smell of bitterness in the room was really disgusting.

Tao Hui hurriedly took the cloak and put it on her, "Fujin can be careful, don't freeze." ”

Yongying went for three days, and on the fourth day, His Majesty Qianlong finally woke up. However, it was at this time that the bad news came.

Liu Chang, who had been serving Yongying's side, ran back from the garden to report, "Fujin, it's not good!" The eldest brother suddenly had a high fever this morning, and the doctor said that he was afraid that it would be ...... Infected with winter plague! ”

Hearing the news, Ying Yue's legs weakened and she almost fell to the ground!

Tao Hui hurriedly helped her: "Fujin, you have to hold on!" ”

Ying Yue was already flustered and couldn't help herself: "Don't you say, didn't the winter plague spread to the garden?!" "His Majesty Qianlong contracted an illness in the autumn, so he has not moved back to the Forbidden City, and the concubines of the six palaces, the princes and grandsons are all living in the garden with him!

"Quick! Hurry up and get on the carriage! I'm going into the garden! Ying Yue shouted urgently.

Due to the flood of winter plague, Sijiu City is heavily guarded, but Yingyue is the prince of Fujin, and wants to leave the imperial city and go to the palace of the Old Summer Palace in the western suburbs, so naturally she still passes all the way unimpeded.

Before leaving, Yingyue did not forget to instruct Aunt Tao Hui to immediately invite her mother Nara to come to the palace to preside over the overall situation and take care of the two grandsons Mianmao and Mianyou. With Ah Xue to stay and take care of it, plus E-Niang presiding, it should be fine.

rushed to the garden in a hurry, because Mian Yu was suspected of being infected with winter plague, the bamboo courtyard where he lived had been blocked, and if Yingyue wanted to go in, he would also be confined inside.

This bamboo forest courtyard was originally the residence of Princess Hejing before she got married, because of the love of bamboo, His Majesty Qianlong allocated this place to this favorite grandson to live.

In today's world, only empty poles are left, and the courtyard is full of depression.

The female eunuchs of the palace who served in the Bamboo Forest Courtyard had long been soulless, as if they were on the edge of the abyss.

Ying Yue didn't care much, so she threw herself into the inner room, only to see that on the bed inside, Mian Yu was already unconscious, her little face was red, and the wet cloth covered her forehead was already hot!

Ying Yue was angry, "Are they all dead?!" Big brother, if there is a case, do you think you can still live?! ”

The son burned like this, and the servants who served around him were afraid to come forward one by one!

In an instant, he knelt down in the palace.

Ying Yue huffed angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Don't go fetch water yet! And what about the Imperial Doctor? Why hasn't the Imperial Doctor come yet?! ”

Liu Chang hurriedly said: "Fujin, please rest assured, the master said that he will arrange for a trustworthy imperial doctor to come over, this will be ......."

At this time, there was a sound of slamming the door outside, "Weichen Xu Taixi, I am ordered to come to take care of Prince Cheng's eldest brother!" ”

Listening to this voice, he was also quite old, and it was the person arranged by Yongying, Ying Yue immediately raised his voice and said, "Imperial Doctor Xu, please come in!" ”

This Imperial Physician Xu really has a lot of white beard, and compared to those who are trembling, this old Imperial Physician is really very calm. It was another pulse diagnosis, another needle and prescription medicine, coupled with Yingyue's continuous physical cooling, Mianyu's body temperature finally dropped slightly, and although her face and body were still a little hot, she was already out of the category of high fever.

Ying Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly relieved: "Fujin, please be relieved, the eldest brother is ten years old, and he has always had a strong body, so he will definitely be safe." ”

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor." Ying Yue barely squeezed out a smile, glanced at the palace maid who was waiting closely, and ordered with a straight face: "You go and sew some masks to wear!" ”

The palace maids were stunned, they really didn't know what the masks were.

Seeing this, Ying Yue quickly gestured a few times and described it slightly, "Sewing it thicker and covering the mouth and nose can prevent the spread of winter plague." ”

As soon as they heard that they could prevent infection, the palace maids immediately came to the spirit, immediately opened a small warehouse, took out all the Songjiang cloth, cut and sewed, the manual was simple, when it was dark, up and down the bamboo forest courtyard, the palace maids and eunuchs all got a mask, and covered their mouths and noses tightly.

After all, Ying Yue didn't want the plague to spread, so she specially asked Imperial Doctor Xu to prescribe some prevention and treatment medicine, boiled a large pot, and the palace maids and eunuchs of the Bamboo Forest Courtyard drank a bowl every day.

For a while, it appeased the hearts of the people in the Bamboo Forest Courtyard, and the personal palace maids served the sick number more and more dedicatedly.

Ying Yue had already taken advantage of the unpreparedness to secretly chew the ginkgo fairy fruit and feed the next one to Mianyu. Although Mian Yu has not woken up yet, the heat has subsided a lot, and he has slept much more peacefully at night.
