The worst feared thing still happened, and the epidemic finally spread to the palace.

This means the fall of the entire Daye.

Although Shen Qu had just woken up, he couldn't care much about it, so he hurriedly dressed and entered the palace.

Li Luansong couldn't persuade her, so he forced her to drink a bowl of ginseng chicken soup before entering the palace together.

The palace was already in chaos, and the dead palace people were carried out and simply burned to prevent infection.

It is said that a little eunuch who was responsible for transporting rice, flour and vegetables in the imperial dining room was the first to get the epidemic, and then found that the person died and hurriedly threw the person into the well, which was suddenly unable to contain it.

It seems that there is no doubt, but no matter how you think about it, it feels wrong.

The little eunuch is responsible for the entry and exit of rice and vegetables every time, but it is all screened layer by layer, and the person who delivers the food also does the daily diagnosis and drinks the herbs for prevention and control before he can contact the people in the palace, and the two sides are not face-to-face, but the vegetable seller sends things to the door, and the little eunuch only goes to answer when he sees the person leaving, and there is no direct contact, besides, they are all wrapped around the mouthcloth, and there are many loopholes in this alone.

What's more, it took at least three or five days for the little eunuch to die from the epidemic, why didn't anyone find out, why did he throw himself into the well after he died, how could he throw himself into the well, this is obviously a bit deliberate.

Everyone was talking, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was full of fire and depression.

Shen Qu and Li Luansong ordered someone to boil the soup and bring it in, she remembered that she had drunk ginseng chicken soup in the past few days, although she couldn't say the reason, but she seemed to think that it had something to do with it, in short, it was good to increase nutrition.

Distributed to everyone, everyone thanked and drank, but they still couldn't hide the exhaustion on their faces.

The queen was overjoyed to see them coming, and was even more surprised to learn that they were all well.

Everyone stayed up for a few days, and they were all tired, and the two persuaded the emperor to let everyone go back to rest, and Shen Qu and Li Luansong sat down to discuss how to act separately.

"It's better to take a break, you're just right, and I'll leave it all to me."

Li Luansong was still not worried about her, and Shen Qu shook his head:

"I'm fine, Your Highness, don't worry. Let's fight together. ”

Li Luansong is responsible for the treatment of the people outside the palace, after all, it is still in dire straits, and the number of imperial doctors will be reduced, and the burden is not light, but fortunately, Nikkei is in order, and he can preside over the overall situation.

Shen is indeed responsible for the treatment of the head of the palace, there are still many things to be done here, first diagnose the pulse one by one, and those who have the slightest signs are also isolated separately, observe for a few days, and the rest of the people are closed, and the meals are sent to the palaces at the same time every day.

"First of all, we must ensure the safety of the father and the queen mother, this is the foundation of Daye." Shen Cheng said, "I will take care of it personally, and Your Highness can rest assured." ”

"Outside the palace, some royal guards were sent over to strengthen the defense of the palace. As for taking care of the sick, Shen Xianglan, Zelan, and the people of the Zhang family, they all have rich experience, and His Royal Highness only needs to assign them. ”

Shen Qu pondered and explained one by one, "In addition, how did the epidemic come this time, His Royal Highness sent someone to quietly investigate and prevent it." ”

Li Luansong said: "I have sent someone to investigate, but there is no news yet." ”

Shen Qu said: "Well water, all the wells in Jin'an City should be checked. ”

"Also, I can't say the reason for collecting ginseng to make ginseng chicken soup, but I always think it's effective, and I can divide it every day for everyone to drink."

There are also such tasks as washing, cooking, and smoking wormwood.

It was almost dawn, and the two were about to separate, Li Luansong held Shen Qu's hand tightly: "Be careful, don't be tired anymore, I will write to you every day." ”

Shen did hug him, and there was a feeling of being wrapped in warmth, down-to-earth and reassuring.

At sunrise in the east, Li Luansong left the palace and went to the "battlefield" that belonged to him.

Shen stayed in the palace to check his condition, and everyone checked their pulses one by one and assigned them to different places for isolation. The only good thing about the palace is that the place is large enough to be isolated, but it makes it difficult for her to run around.

Emperor Xiaochun specially added a sedan chair for her, which greatly saved time, and checked everyone in only two days.

That evening, she received a letter from her.

It was written to her by Li Luansong, she thought that he would greet her in a big way, and then told her to take care of herself, so that she could take medicine and eat, but who knew that the letter was ten pages thick.

Shen was shocked: ...... Is this writing a notebook?

Open it up and take a closer look, even more surprised.

He told her everything in detail, it was like a debriefing.

He said: Shen Xianglan and Zhang Guanhua, the two delicate little ladies, now have the momentum of "Sister", take care of the sick and look good, and know the situation of everyone under the hand well, and there is no need to look at the pulse case at all.

There are also several daughters-in-law of the Zhang family, including the princess Li Le, who takes the women to wash, cook, and boil medicine every day, working tirelessly, and they can't see the squeamishness they once had.

He asked Zelan to take someone to be responsible for boiling ginseng chicken soup, the precious quantity of ginseng is not much, it takes a lot of effort to boil, and the simple slices can be used repeatedly, the medicine shops in the capital have taken out the ginseng, and the inventory of the family has also been handed over for unified deployment, he said: "Mi Yuan, this is all your credit, everyone is working together although it is difficult now, it is really touching." ”

He also personally picked out good ginseng for people to bring to her, saying that these are not much, they are for her to drink, so that she must not ignore her body, Shen Qu smiled and cried, when did this person become a mother-in-law.

It was a small section of ginseng, of excellent quality, she called her father-in-law to come and asked him to tell the dining room to cook chicken soup to drink, and her father-in-law ran down in a hurry.

He also said a lot, what he did every day, what he ate, those dishes are very popular, some are not delicious, I miss the dim sum fruit she made, and said that many women took the initiative to teach him the experience of giving birth to dolls and raising dolls, he did not waste it, and found someone to write it down, and turned it out to be a parenting booklet, and gave it to you, and ordered him to study it, and he also studied it together.

He will also tell her what the few people sent out have done, where they have gone, how they are progressing, and it is really not easy to pass the book for thousands of miles every day.

Under the candlelight, Shen Qu carefully read the letters one by one, which simply cured her of the day's fatigue.

Pick up the pen and reply to him, rambling like him, telling him what he ate and drank, and what his father-in-law has been nagging recently, and his ears are calloused.

The father and queen mother are all very good, the seventh and the eighth are on the side, everything is fine in the palace, and there are signs of the spread of the epidemic, but she can control it, so he doesn't have to worry.

"I don't know how long it will take to see Your Highness, I miss you."

This was the first time that Shen Cheng had the feeling of deeply missing someone, thinking of his appearance, remembering what he had said, and even remembering the "chapter" that he gently dropped on her lips.

How could the originally dignified and steady little lady be brought into this way by him, Shen was shocked when he introspected, but that feeling is only known to two people, it should be nothing, just think about it secretly.

It was also a thick stack of letter paper, and she also drew a small picture for him at the back, and the little lady under the moonlight looked up at the moon and missed her lover, and before the letter was sent, she began to look forward to his reply.

Late at night, Shen did remember what Li Luansong said about missing the snacks and fruits she made, so he changed his clothes and cooked himself, making him milk cakes, crisp cheese, sauce elbows and pickles that he learned from the queen's mother.

Eat and drink enough and don't want to go home, Daddy always says that eating is the first thing in the world.

No matter how simple and unpretentious the truth is, it is full of the warmth and heart of the family.

Packing the things and handing them to Father-in-law Shi to send out, Father-in-law Shi sighed again and again: "Your Highness, this is really ...... That's great. ”

What is too good, he didn't explain it, because Shen did ask him to talk less, but Shen did understand, smiled and said:

"Father-in-law Shi has recently tasted a great medicine, and everything in the dining room has been left for you, go eat it."

The old man was so excited that he didn't know how to do it, and went to the dining room happily.

In a difficult situation, it is all the more necessary to eat and drink well and be in a good mood, so that we can have the strength to fight.

However, Emperor Xiaochun still couldn't hold on after all, and contracted the epidemic.

When the eighth child came to deliver the news, he cried into tears, and the eldest boy who was almost sixteen suddenly lost his backbone, and he was counted as deep and steady on weekdays, which was completely chaotic.

Wiping his tears, he said: "My father is in a fever and coma, no matter how you shout, the queen mother is in a hurry to serve the sick, I didn't let the queen mother come over, I'm afraid that I will be sick." Big brother, go and take a look, I'm so scared, my father will be fine. ”

He grew up with Emperor Xiaochun since he was a child, and his relationship with His Majesty is naturally deeper than that of others.

Shen Qu comforted him: "It's okay, don't be afraid, Xiaoba, my father is in the prime of life and his son is good, don't worry." ”

She is comforting the eighth child, and she is not comforting herself.

In fact, in the past two days, when I checked the pulse, I had already discovered the abnormality of His Majesty's pulse, and I had added some medicine in advance to prevent it, but I still couldn't resist it after all.

The two walked quickly to the imperial study, and Shen did let the eighth child stay outside to prevent infection.

Li Luanxi nodded in agreement, suddenly knelt down in his robe, kowtowed at him three times, and said: "Big brother, don't hide it, the eighth brother once suspected the eldest brother, and always felt that the eldest brother was the same as the second brother and the fifth brother...... Now that the eighth child understands it, he knows the eldest brother's heart for his father, the eldest brother, and the father will ask the eldest brother. ”

This child's mind was very deep, and he was worried that a few of them would be unfavorable to his father because of the competition, so Shen Qu smiled and helped him up:

"My brother doesn't say such things, that's also my father, you follow the seventh brother well, be careful of your body."

The eighth nodded in response, raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and watched her hurry in.

The palace people in the palace only left the eldest companion and a small eunuch beside Emperor Xiaochun, and the others were sent out.

After Shen diagnosed the pulse, he prescribed medicine, instructed people to decoct the medicine and then ordered people to boil ginseng chicken soup, Emperor Xiaochun's symptoms were not very serious, but there were some long-standing illnesses before, so she prescribed prescriptions with special care.

The queen couldn't sit still in the palace and rushed over, but Shen really couldn't, so she could only let the mother sit far away under the window and blow the wind.

Emperor Xiaochun was still in a coma, most of his companions helped him sit up, Shen Cheng took a medicine bowl to feed the medicine, each bite was blown first, and he personally tried the heat and cold before feeding him, and a bowl of medicine was fed for half an hour.

The queen was so anxious that she asked "Are you awake?" Shen did say not so quickly, "If the situation is good, you should be able to wake up after tonight, and feed some chicken soup after a while, and the queen mother will also drink a bowl." ”

When the queen heard the chicken soup, she hurriedly covered her nose and said that she would not drink it, "It's all chicken soup these days, and it's almost like water, and I burp and smell of." ”

Shen did laugh: "The queen mother is in a good mood, so the queen mother is not sick." ”

The queen said right, "Your words are to the point, he ......."

She pinched the handkerchief and pointed at Emperor Xiaochun and said: "I think a lot about it, what if the epidemic can't get over for a while, what if the two of you don't get better, what if the people lose patience and rebel......"

"I can't do anything about him, I thought a lot when I was young, so I can be the emperor, your mother's temperament of not wanting anything can't be the emperor."

Shen Qu was putting a veil on Emperor Xiaochun, while listening to the queen's chatter, he couldn't help but think of Li Luansong, but there is really a father and a son, looking at him with a big grin, in fact, he is very thoughtful.

"There's something he doesn't know yet, and when he wakes up tomorrow and knows, I'm afraid he'll faint again." The queen looked melancholy.

Shen did ask what was the matter.

The queen sighed and said: "There is chaos in the palace, some cowards took advantage of the chaos to run out, stupid, the outside is not as good as the inside of the palace, no, the one in the cold palace was taken away." ”

Yes? Shen was taken aback, a bad premonition flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly asked, "What about Li Luanfeng, are you still there?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen also suddenly realized, her face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly sent someone to ask, but as expected, she ran away.

The two looked at each other and lost their minds for a while.

I heard the "whoop" of the person on the bed, and the general woke up and heard the news, and sure enough, he fainted again.
