After Zixuan left the yamen, she did not return to the palace, but went to the prince who was in charge of the disaster.

When the carriage passed by the Criminal Department, she saw that the officers and soldiers of the team were escorting a few ragged refugees in.

She immediately opened the curtain and said, "Qi Qi, Uncle Liu, hurry up, something may have happened to the prince." ”

Uncle Liu, who was driving in front of him, heard this, and immediately responded: "Okay, the princess can sit tight!" With that, he raised his whip and hastened to his feet.

He led the men to open the way in front so as not to hurt the people.

When Zixuan and her party arrived at the school field camped outside the city, she just got off the carriage and bumped into Xiang Jiu in a hurry.

"Princess!" Xiang Bao hurriedly said: "My subordinates are about to go back to the palace to find you." ”

Zixuan asked uneasily, "But something happened to the prince?" ”

Xiang Rescue shook his head and said: "It's not the prince, it's the victims, they seem to have a strange disease overnight, one after another are sick, the imperial doctor is helpless when he comes, the prince asked me to invite you to come." ”

It's good that nothing happened to the prince! Zixuan stroked her heart, I don't know when she started, she paid far more attention to the safety of the prince than to herself......

But the victims... She took a deep breath and said to Red Sleeves: "You go back to the house, bring my medicine box, and tell Alain that don't cook for us at night, you may not be able to leave here for a while." ”

"Good!" Redsleeves answered, and she hurried back.

Zixuan said to Xiang Jiu: "It's better to take me to see the prince as soon as possible." ”

"Good! Princess, please. "Rescue leads the way.

When Wang Zixian saw her, he was a little surprised, and said, "Why did you come so soon?" ”

Zixuan said: "I went to see the Wang family in prison, thinking that you didn't return overnight, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to come by coincidence." ”

With that, she hesitated.

Seeing that she was a little confused, the prince said with concern: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Zixuan shook her head and said hesitantly: "Wang said, I will never know the real cause of my mother's death, listen to her meaning, I am afraid that there is still a hidden secret." ”

The prince's eyebrows sank, as he speculated, back then, how could Wang's outer room that didn't know the depth of the Wang family accurately find Xiao Tao and use her to be drugged.

Zixuan puffed out her cheeks and sighed: "Alas, check slowly, you can always find clues." ”

"That's right! When I came, I saw the officers and soldiers escorting a few victims into the penal department, do you know what happened? She asked.

Wang Zixian said: "It's just a few troublemakers, it's no big deal." ”

"It's okay!" Zixuan sighed and said, "When Fang just came, I heard Xiang Jiu say that the victims were sick, and they were still very serious? ”

The prince nodded, frowned, and said: "Their symptoms are a little strange, not like poisoning, not like the plague, three imperial doctors have come, and now they are arranging isolation to separate the sick from the people who are not sick." ”

Zixuan pondered: "The disaster shed is set up outside the city, and now it is not clear whether this disease is contagious, the prince can pass down the order, unless there are special circumstances, no one can enter or leave the city without permission, so as not to spread to the city and other places." ”

"Well, I'll send someone to arrange it right away." After the prince said this, he immediately called the defenders to arrange it, and sent someone to inform the emperor.

After he and Zixuan changed into thick clothes for isolation and masks, they went to the disaster shed.

As soon as Zixuan arrived at the door, she smelled a strong smell of sour water, and there were night pots in front of the beds of the sick victims, and many people were holding the night pot "wow" and vomiting.

Hundreds of victims fell ill, and Zixuan saw that the situation was far more serious than expected.

When the three imperial doctors saw them coming, they saluted respectfully, and the imperial doctors led by them said: "Weichen Fu Zhong, I have heard that the princess has excellent medical skills, and the prince invited you here, and the three of us will have the bottom of our hearts." ”

Zixuan saw the salute and said politely: "Doctor Fu has won the award, the younger generation is not talented, and I ask the three of you to give you more advice." ”

Imperial Physician Fu stopped and said, "Eh, the princess is humble. ”

Zixuan said a few perfunctory words to him, took out a bag of rubber gloves from his sleeve pocket, put them on, and began to check the patients.

After pricking her self-created "asking directions" strange needle with a silver needle, she also found nothing, just like the prince said, not like the plague, not like poisoning, so what is it?

Imperial Doctor Fu showed Zixuan the prescription they prescribed, which was basically the right medicine.

Zixuan frowned and said: "Others are okay, but the cause of abdominal pain is not clear, it is not advisable to stop vomiting and diarrhea rashly, and closing the door too early will inevitably cause civil strife and high fever." ”

The imperial doctors tacitly looked at each other, and Fu Zhong said, "What about the princess?" ”

Zixuan frowned, pondered for a while, and said to Wang Zixian: "Lord, take me to see their edible food." ”

"Okay." The prince immediately took her there.

Zixuan went to the room to check all the ingredients and found no problems.

When she was worried, she saw that the master was scooping the water in the bucket, Zixuan suddenly became enlightened, and she checked everything, but forgot that the water source is such an important clue!

She said to Wang Zixian, "Where is the water source here?" I want to check it out. ”

This is the only breakthrough point, and I hope it will be rewarded!

"Follow me." The prince took her to the water source.

The drinking water here comes from a lonely well outside the city, and Zixuan asked, "Are the victims drinking raw water?" ”

The prince said: "No, there is boiling water every day in the house, and some people are greedy for cold, so they drink raw water directly, but on the first day they came, many people drank raw water, and there was no problem." ”

Zixuan hit a bucket, seeing that the water quality was very clear, she thought about it again and again, and decided to do an experiment, let people bring three sheep, put them in captivity alone, and feed them raw water here, if it is a problem with water, they will have the same reaction after drinking.

After the attendant fed the sheep water, the sheep did not have a seizure immediately, Zixuan asked them to watch first, not in a hurry.

She returned to the disaster shed, carefully took a pen and wrote down the prescription, she found another idea, although she was not in a hurry to stop diarrhea, but she was compatible with cool medicine.

After the imperial doctors saw the prescription, they looked at each other with suspicion, but no one dared to say more, so they only handed it over to someone to boil the medicine.

Zixuan said that there are things that should be paid attention to, especially the issue of water.
