Chapter 323: Infected with the Plague
The little boy who was playing with Xiao Ruyue had a high fever in the middle of the night, and his symptoms were very similar to those in the early days of the plague.
After the people in the house found out about this situation, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly went to ask Lang Zhong for treatment.
And the Shen family, which is separated by a wall and a road, listened to the movement next door at the moment, the footsteps back and forth, the anxious scolding, and even the cry of fear.
Fortunately, it was also a high-ranking family, and the child was temporarily isolated and not sent out of the city.
Once you are sent outside the city, you are basically dead and alive.
Listening to these movements, the three members of the Shen family were all terrified, and a trace of fear and worry faintly rose in their hearts.
What if you do get the plague?
Early the next morning, Shen Youqiu worked harder than ever to study the medical books, as well as the prescriptions for treating the plague in the past sent by his uncle.
What if, in case her blind cat runs into a dead mouse, can she come up with a recipe?
But now there is still a problem, that is, she has no subject for experimentation, and even if she comes up with a prescription, there is no way to verify whether this prescription can cure the disease.
She wanted to go outside the city to find someone with the plague to try, but thinking of those officers and soldiers last night, this idea was suppressed.
Not to mention that the plague is scary, these officers and soldiers will now throw them out of the city when they see someone who may be infected with the plague, and it is better for her not to touch this mold.
As for the prescription, it is still not good, and I only hope that those doctors can develop the antidote as soon as possible.
But she never expected that the next day, Mo actually began to have a high fever.
Not only did he have a high fever, but he also coughed constantly, and the symptoms were exactly the same as the plague that the imperial court said.
At this moment, the family immediately fell into anxiety, and the secret guards who had been guarding the courtyard also panicked all of a sudden.
Qi Jingxing has no news so far, and now there is no prescription for curing the plague inside and outside the imperial court, and those who have the plague, if they have an urgent illness, they will be able to breathe in less than seven days!
If the general came back to find that his mother-in-law had died, wouldn't he blame them for their dereliction of duty? What makes them even more powerless is that if Shen Yuxin and Shen Youqiu are also infected with the plague, it will be over!
"You can't let the government know about this."
Feng Yi said in a low voice, "Once the government knows, it will definitely let Madame go to quarantine outside the city, and then it will be troublesome. What's more, if a doctor develops an antidote, we will be the first to know. Now what you have to do is to find a room for your mother to live in, and then take good care of it, maybe you can buy some more time."
"Hmm."
Shen Youqiu actually had an idea, but when she thought that it was her mother who was infected with the plague, and her father was also very likely to be infected, she was a little flustered and restless.
Feng Yi's words made her quickly calm down, and immediately cleaned up the room, letting her parents live separately, the two of them were together day and night, if the mother was infected, the chance of the father being infected was also very high, and everything must be prepared in advance.
Soon, the room was cleaned up, Mo covered his mouth and nose, quickly entered the room, and immediately closed the door without waiting for Shen Youqiu to say anything.
"Qiu'er, stay away from me."
Mo's voice was a little deep, "This plague is really terrible, even if I am gone, you can't get too close to me. After that, if you send me food, just take a bamboo pole and bring me something that will fill your stomach."
"Mother, don't be afraid, it'll be fine!"
Shen Youqiu's eyes were a little red.
At this moment, Shen Yuxin, who had been standing still, suddenly walked quickly to the door, directly pushed the door open and walked in.
This move startled both mother and daughter.
"What are you doing, get out of here!"
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Both spoke at the same time.
"I'm here to live with you." Shen Yuxin's face was full of stubbornness.
"If I had been infected with the plague, I would have been infected. We do it day and night
Together, now that you are infected with the plague, can I avoid being infected by leaving you now? Anyway, I have to stay here with you, if you chase me or beat me, I won't leave!"
"I believe that soon those doctors will develop the antidote, after all, this is the capital, so many famous doctors, as well as the imperial doctors in the court who specialize in treating the emperor, their medical skills are very good, we will all be fine."
As he spoke, he hugged Mo Shi and closed his eyes to prevent Mo Shi from seeing his slightly red eyes.
Shen Youqiu's heart was suddenly bitter and uncomfortable, and his throat seemed to be blocked with a ball of cotton.
"Well, it's going to be fine."
She said softly.
"Qiu'er, you have to stay away from the two of us, you should be okay now." After speaking, Shen Yuxin slammed the door shut.
Then, there was a heartfelt shout from inside.
"By the way, Qiu'er, do you know how to make food?"
Shen Youqiu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"Don't worry, it's poison that doesn't kill people!"
Subsequently, Shen Youqiu took charge of the three meals a day for the two of them, and at the same time sorted out a few recipes sent by his uncle, and according to what was written on the recipe, each medicine was boiled out and tried for Mo's drink.
But among several prescriptions, only one prescription is still a little useful, but it is not very useful, Mohs has been better for a long time, the cough is more serious, the whole personhood has become very bad, and occasionally there are symptoms of coughing up blood.
Seeing this, Shen Youqiu's heart suddenly felt like he had been pricked by a needle.
But she had no choice, no way at all, and in this situation, he couldn't even write a letter to his uncle and ask him to come and see his mother's condition.
My uncle and grandfather both had symptoms of the plague, and if they came, there must be a way.
She can't go in person, if she leaves, who will take care of her father?
In a hurry, she suddenly thought of Feng Yi.
Yes, she can't go, there are still people who can go, if Feng Yi is in a hurry, she can get to Fu'an Town in a few days, and then bring her uncle over overnight!
So, she found Feng Yi and solemnly said the matter, and that afternoon, Feng Yi rode a horse and took dry food and set off from the capital without stopping at all.
At this time, the plague in the palace was temporarily controlled, but none of the people who had already contracted the plague had recovered until now.
Those maids and eunuchs are okay, they will be clean when they are burned down, but there are two concubines in the harem who also have the plague, one of them is still a very favored young concubine, the emperor does not want to see her fragrant and jade, so he ordered the imperial doctor to cure her, if it is not cured, it is a capital crime!
The imperial doctors could only bite the bullet, but they tried several prescriptions in a row, but they had no effect, but aggravated the concubine's condition.
