"Lord Wang, you're finally fine, if you go on like this, your subordinates are worried to death!" Zhang Hu almost didn't shed tears.

"Alright, tell me about the situation outside. ”

Zhang Hu sniffed and said: "The supplies have been in an emergency these days, and the prince is collecting them everywhere and then transporting them into the city, but it is already a drop in the bucket, and I am afraid it is far from enough." ”

"Is there any movement in the imperial court?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Hu was angry in his heart, so many days have passed, and the imperial court has not even sent a single person, is it possible that he really doesn't care about the life or death of these people.

"Divine Doctor Li, are you sure to treat these people?" Xiao Xinrong asked in a loud voice at Divine Doctor Li, who was writing in the pharmacy in the room.

"What are you yelling about, kid?" Doctor Li put down the pen in his hand slowly after writing the last word, and said with a solemn expression: "It's not that it can't be cured, but there is one thing I haven't figured out, if I figure it out, maybe I can make an antidote." ”

"Then you should hurry up and find out......" Zhang Hu urged anxiously.

Doctor Li rolled his eyes and said, "What's the hurry, I won't wait for your master to get better, and then I need the cooperation of your master if I can figure it out." ”

"How can the prince cooperate?" Zhang Hu couldn't understand.

"I will definitely cooperate with the divine doctor to use the medicine well. ”

"Count you boy on the road. After Doctor Li finished speaking, he threw the pharmacy in his hand to Zhang Hu: "Quickly take the medicine, what are you lazy to steal!"

Zhang Hu held the pharmacy and cried and laughed: "Lord Wang, did he treat you as a drug tester?"

"Listen to the doctor's arrangement, rest assured that I'm okay here. "If I can save the people, I can test the medicine!

Xiao Xinrong did not show up for so many days, which attracted the attention of all parties, and spies from all walks of life in Shoucheng quickly sent the letter out.

In the study, Chen Rui handed the letter to Mr. Sun.

"It's unusual for Prince Alcohol not to show up, could it be that something happened?" Mr. Sun said uncertainly.

"I also suspect so, Prince Alcohol has been collecting supplies, but Xiao Shizi has all come forward in the past few days, if something doesn't really happen, how can he let go of such a good opportunity to gather the hearts of the people!"

Chen Rui walked back and forth in the room and pondered: "What happened to make him put down everything in his hand and not show up?"

"Could it be that you are also sick?" said Mr. Sun with a frown.

"There is such a possibility, God really helps me, hmph, this time this official will see how Prince Alcohol can break this game!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Enter the palace!"

"Chen Aiqing hurriedly entered the palace late at night, didn't something happen to him?" asked Emperor Jing Yuan.

"Your Majesty, Wechen received news that the number of people infected in Shoucheng is increasing, and Wechen is afraid that if one cannot be controlled, it will cause more turmoil. ”

Emperor Jing Yuan nodded: "I also received news about this matter, I don't know what Chen Aiqing has in mind?"

"Weichen thinks about it, if you want to control people, the only way is to burn the city!"

Emperor Jingyuan's temples were beating suddenly, there had never been such a thing since the founding of the country, and the burning of the city meant that tens of thousands of people lost their lives.

Emperor Jing Yuan's face was ugly and he asked Chen Rui, "Is there no other way?"

Chen Rui knew that the new emperor, after he ascended the throne in a hurry, the empress dowager was in charge of major affairs in the court, and slowly cultivated Emperor Jingyuan's indecisive and forward-looking character.

If you don't add fire to him, don't think about a result today, thinking of this, Chen Rui continued: "There are more and more patients for so many days, and there is no sign of control, and if someone in the garrison falls ill, everyone is in danger wherever they go, and it will be too late for Your Majesty to do anything by then!"

Chen Rui was heartbroken, as if these words came out of his mouth, Emperor Jingyuan seemed to have seen the end of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Why hasn't the imperial doctor sent from the palace arrived yet?" Emperor Jing Yuan frowned, if he could find the antidote, then these things would be solved.

Chen Rui has long prevented this day, as early as when the imperial doctors began to set off, Chen Rui had already taken care of the road and drove carefully, Shoucheng where the condition is serious has exceeded all imagination, if you want to live, the only way is to go slowly, such a clear reminder, everyone has a number in their hearts, and the journey of half a month has been delayed to reach the place.

"There are several imperial doctors who went this time, many of them are old and infirm, and they have been tired all the way, and from time to time someone falls ill, and Weichen himself ordered to go at full speed and arrive at Shoucheng as soon as possible, but it will be too late for such a person to arrive. ”

"Your Majesty, you can't wait! Weichen begged His Majesty to give an order, but it would be too late at night!"

"It's too important, and I'm still talking to my grandmother about it. Chen Rui was a little disappointed, if he didn't take the opportunity to settle this matter, maybe there would be unexpected variables and miss such a good opportunity in vain.

After Chen Rui retreated, he thought about it and suddenly remembered a person, Wang Ge Lao, maybe he could help him.

Wang Ge Lao received Chen Rui's invitation a little surprised, Chen Rui as a new power minister has a strong momentum, the granddaughter of the Wang family jumped into the middle palace, the Wang family has become a first-class valve in the capital, in a high position Wang Ge Lao felt that the power came too violently, and he was more restrained by the Wang family, and he was cautious for fear of a mistake.

Chen Rui represents Emperor Jingyuan behind him, and the momentum is strong, and the elder of Wang Ge is also very avoidant of his people, why do you want to bring such a letter to yourself now?

Wang Ge Lao came as promised, Chen Rui waved his hand to let the dancers around him step down, and personally got up to pour a glass of wine for Wang Ge Lao.

"What is Lord Chen calling this official to do?"

"Don't worry, Elder Wang, the lower officials have specially prepared aged wine and specially invited adults to taste it. Chen Rui raised the wine in his hand and motioned for Wang Ge Lao to taste it.

Wang Ge Lao drank the wine in the cup and said, "If there is anything, Lord Chen, just say it." ”

Chen Rui smashed his mouth and said unfinishedly: "That's it, since the elder is so anxious, he won't sell the guanzi, just say it." ”

"Xiaguan received the news that there are more and more patients in Shoucheng, and it has reached the point of being uncontrollable, and Xiaguan suggests to His Majesty to burn the city!"

"What are you talking about, burn the city!" Wang Ge Lao was terrified when he heard this, if the fire went down, the people of a city would die!

"Elder Wang Ge, don't panic, listen to the official tell you about this matter in detail first. Chen Rui continued unhurriedly: "The burning city that Xia Guan said does not refer to Shoucheng, but to some counties in Shoucheng that are seriously ill. ”

Wang Ge put his heart into his stomach: "Are those people who are infected with diseases really hopeless?"

Chen Rui nodded and said: "Not only is there no help, but there is also a situation of passing on people, the local doctor has been treating for several days and still has not been contained, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the disease will leak out and cause more turmoil." ”

"Lord Chen is alarmist, right?" asked Wang Ge Lao as he sat down slowly, incredulously.
