Chapter 444: A Sudden Plague

"Princess, what now?" Guo Dong screamed as a princess on the left and a princess on the right, obviously treating her as the backbone of everyone.

"Leave the rumors alone, after a while they will be self-defeating, and then they will lose interest in everything, and no one will discuss my identity anymore."

"Do you think it's possible that His Highness said this?"

"Nope." Li Luobing vetoed Guo Dong's words very firmly, "Chu Ruoyan is not that kind of person at all. ”

After Li Luobing finished saying this, he realized that he seemed to answer too quickly, and he was sure that this matter was not his fault without even thinking about Chu Ruojian.

Although their identities have been exposed, what they can do now is to respond to all changes with the same.

If they do something, the rumors may come even more violently, and if they don't do anything, the people will forget about it after a while.

After hearing Li Luobing's subconscious answer, the people around him also strengthened their confidence, it seems that although the princess has not recovered her previous memory, she still has Her Royal Highness in her heart.

The matter about Li Luobing has been vigorously circulated in the market for two or three days, and the people have not seen anyone come out to explain, so they gradually forgot about this matter.

And Chu Zhuangyan, who originally broke out this matter, didn't expect it to end so easily, and originally expected that this matter would pose any threat to Chu Ruoyao's behavior, but now it seems that this plan has come to naught.

As for Chu Ruoyan, who was still under house arrest, after the two met, Chu Zhuangyan never came to him again, and he was also looking for an opportunity to get out.

In such a situation, another big thing happened in Mingyue Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" A guard hurriedly ran to the imperial study and shouted at Chu Zhuangyan, with an anxious look on his face.

"What's wrong, say." Chu Zhuangyan was very calm, he had been in power for so long, he had experienced all kinds of situations, so the performance of the guards would not affect him at all.

"There's a plague at the border!"

"What? Pestilence? Chu Zhuangyan, who has always been calm, also stood up immediately after hearing these two words, throughout the ages, what all the incumbents are most afraid of is the plague, which will not only produce a large number of refugees, but also be extremely contagious, and if you don't pay attention to it, it may cause national consequences.

"Yes, it's the border near the Northern Frontier."

"Near the Northern Frontier ......" Chu Zhuangyan stood up and turned around the room, "Who are the people stationed there?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's General Li Guangyi."

Lee Kwang Yi? After hearing this name, Chu Zhuangyan always felt that something was very familiar, and later he remembered that this Li Luobing was not Li Guangyi's daughter? It's just that I heard that she left the Li family before, but it can't change the fact that she is Li Guangyi's daughter.

"How long ago did you get this news? If the plague had just begun, it might have been able to be controlled. Chu Zhuangyan temporarily put aside the matter of Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyan and began to think about countermeasures.

"It takes three or five days to travel from the border to the capital, and as soon as the villain receives the news, he immediately rushes to report to the emperor."

Even if he reported it to himself immediately, it would have been at least five days since this incident, and in just five days, the boundary should have changed dramatically, and as for whether this change was good or bad, they still did not know.

"Send someone to the border immediately to inquire about the situation, and I will let some imperial doctors accompany me."

Chu Zhuangyan just thought about it for a while and then gave an order, not only is there a shortage of medicine in the border area, but even Langzhong is also lacking, if there is no person with excellent medical skills by his side, it will be difficult to control the epidemic, and it may not be just a place on the border that is infected with the plague.

When the time comes, a large number of refugees will be a huge shock to the Mingyue Country, and other countries are likely to take advantage of the situation.

"Yes, the villain will go at once." After Chu Zhuangyan arranged the matter, he handed it over to this guard, and the guard immediately left the palace and rushed towards the border.

At this time, Chu Zhuangyan was not idle, he gathered all the ministers and told them about the plague.

"What? How can there be such a thing? "When I heard that there was a plague, many people's eyes flashed with panic.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Chu Ruoyao looked at these ministers with a helpless expression, he didn't expect that when something really happened, he didn't even have a capable assistant by his side, and Chu Ruoyao, the only right-hand assistant before, was also placed under house arrest by him.

"Your Majesty, refugees must not be allowed to come to the capital, otherwise the vicinity of the suburbs of Beijing will be finished." Some ministers made this suggestion at the time.

"The border is far from the capital, and the refugees will not come here, but the cities near the border may be affected, and it is imperative to inform them as soon as possible, and the plague must not be allowed to spread further."

Chu Zhuangyan naturally knew this truth, and there was no feasible way to ask the ministers, they didn't know what the situation was at the border now, and everything could only be decided after the guards sent the news back to the border.

All they know now is that there is a plague on the border, but this news must not be known to the people in the capital, otherwise it will easily cause panic, and after thinking about it for a while, Chu Zhuangyan decided to suppress this matter for the time being.

"Remember, only a few of you know about this matter, and you must not spread the word, and if I hear even the slightest rumor, you will all be punished."

As soon as the ministers heard that Chu Zhuangyan was so serious, they immediately nodded and said that they would definitely not spread the word.

When the palace was still thinking about countermeasures, Li Guangyi on the border was already busy.

"Report to the general, and find another person infected with the plague."

While Li Guangyi was thinking about countermeasures in the tent, soldiers kept running to tell him that he had found another person infected with the plague.

"General, it's not a way to go on like this." The adjutant next to him said worriedly.

Li Guangyi nodded, he also knew that if this situation continued, it would be impossible to control it at all, but the key was that each of them had not paid attention to this matter before.

A few days ago, a person at the border said that he might have been infected with a cold, so he went to the hospital to find Lang Zhongmai to prescribe medicine, but he suddenly died before he could take the medicine.

After his family cried, they buried him, and it didn't take long for the same symptoms to appear, and at the same time the people who went to the hospital began to have the same symptoms, and if they did, they would die more quickly than normal.

At this time, people realized that this matter was unusual, and hurriedly sent someone to report it to the army, and by the time Li Guangyi knew about it, the situation was already a little out of control.

"How many Langzhong are there around here now?" Li Guangyi asked the adjutant.

"Back to the general, there are only two Langzhong, and the other Langzhong are also infected with the plague when they are treating their illnesses and have died." The adjutant said with some sadness.

Now those two Lang Zhong didn't dare to contact the people outside at all. Although they also feel sorry for those people, in order to avoid infection, they can only close the door and prevent all visits.

"Send people to separate the people infected with the plague from those who are not infected for the time being, and they must not be allowed to come into contact with each other, otherwise there is no way to stop the source, remember to protect yourself when you send people, and there can be no losses in the army."

After Li Guangyi's repeated admonitions, the adjutant took the order and left.

He and some of the soldiers in the army built several sheds, and those infected with the plague all lived in the sheds, and those who were not infected were all isolated from the sheds.

"Let me go in and take a look, my daughter is inside!" A middle-aged woman with messy hair kept crying and clung to the adjutant's thigh and refused to let go.

"She's infected with the plague, and if you go to see it now, you'll be infected too, and you'll go back when she's cured." The adjutant couldn't bear to push her away, so he could only comfort her in a whisper.

"You are all liars! There is not even a Langzhong here, how can it be cured? The woman shouted hysterically, and in the process of struggling, she actually cut the adjutant's arm.

"What's going on?" When the adjutant was in a dilemma, Li Guangyi appeared here.

"General, why are you here? Go back quickly, it's too dangerous here, in case you are also infected......" The adjutant was very flustered and wanted Li Guangyi to go back quickly.

"General?" When the woman heard the adjutant call Li Guangyi a general, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately left the adjutant's side and knelt in front of Li Guangyi.

"General, you are good, let me see my daughter!"

Li Guangyi was very helpless, although he sympathized with the woman, but her request was absolutely not acceptable.

"I can't agree to this, your daughter is already infected, if you go to see her......"

"It's okay to get the plague, I just want to be with my daughter!" The woman clutched Li Guangyi's sleeve tightly, her eyes full of pleading.

Although Li Guangyi wanted to agree to her, he absolutely couldn't watch such a life take the initiative to die, and he got rid of the woman after being ruthless.

"Come on, take her down, don't let her get near here." After Li Guangyi finished speaking, two soldiers took the woman away, and when she left, she kept shouting and scolding Li Guangyi with all kinds of ugly words.

"General, are you alright?" After hearing the woman's words, the adjutant looked at Li Guangyi with some concern.

Li Guangyi shook his head: "It's okay, she's too excited, but in the future, she should defend more tightly, don't let such a thing happen again." ”
