The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

Yue Jian's words were beyond Shen Dongsu's expectation. She thought Yue Jian was worried that she would run away and that she would "flight together in the face of disaster."

Unexpectedly, Ling Moxiao actually told Yue Jian to send her back to Guangzhou in advance!

If it hadn't been for Yue Jian's words, she had indeed thought about whether she should withdraw first because the situation was unclear.

After all, in Chang'an, without Ling Moxiao and Jiasi, she was blind, not to mention she had offended the queen and the prince.

But now what Yue Jian said instantly aroused her fighting spirit. I won’t leave yet!

He even felt a breath of relief in his heart, what did Ling Mo Xiao mean?

Do you think she is so unloyal and has no spirit of contract that she would just want to run away and break the contract when something happens?

He immediately asked angrily: "What else did the prince confess?"

Yue Jian chuckled and said: "The prince said that if the princess is unwilling to leave no matter what, then protect yourself and don't worry about him."

Shen Dongsu felt her heart soften, and couldn't help but think of the time when she first met Ling Moxiao, when she fell into his bath and was almost strangled to death by him.

At that time, she was really scared and felt that this man was so dangerous and cold-blooded.

When did he change? Now he is so gentle and considerate of her.

Shen Dongsu said softly: "I will not go anywhere until there is news about the prince."

"Mother Ji, let's continue burying the treasure. Yue Jian, I know you can contact the Youzhou Army."

"No matter what happens in Chang'an City, please inform the Youzhou Army, just in case the prince needs them to come to the rescue, and be prepared."

Then he asked, "Do you know the hidden thread for sending messages to Gwangju?"

Yue Jian nodded: "Whatever the princess wants to give, just leave it to your subordinates."

Shen Dongsu was also preparing for the worst. When she agreed to come to Chang'an with Ling Moxiao, she was prepared, and her life might not be saved.

If her life is really in danger, she can't bring trouble to the Shen family.

The plan to go to Dianzhou to build a fake seclusion and give her a false identity is still being implemented, but she can write a few letters to prepare them first.

Even if she and Ling Mo Xiao were really killed by the queen, they could still save the Shen family.

The waiting time was the most painful. There was still no news coming out of Chang'an City, and after the imperial army sealed the city, people were not allowed to approach the city gate.

Anyone who comes close will be frightened by the arrows, and any inquiries must be kept several miles away.

The security in the city is so tight, which shows that the situation is getting more serious. What happened?

There are more than just two families in Xishan: Prince Ling’s Mansion and Jiang Mansion. Nanny Ji said that several families have come to inquire and want to see if Princess Ling knows anything.

It seems that no one knows the inside story, which makes it impossible for anyone to guess.

No wonder the merchants are the most well-informed. Although the news from Chang'an City cannot be spread, Jiang family has found other news.

In addition to the closure of Chang'an, the fortresses of several large cities in the south were also closed, and the most serious closure was in Minzhou.

Hearing about Minzhou, Shen Dongsu was instantly excited. The last auction was dedicated to donating money to Minzhou because there was a plague in Minzhou!

Mrs. Jiang didn't care about avoiding suspicion, so she came directly to Prince Ling's Mansion with Bao'er in her arms, and told Shen Dongsu her suspicions:

"Princess, could it be that the plague from Minzhou has spread to Chang'an City?"

At this time, Ms. Jiang's face was as white as snow and she was holding Bao'er in panic.

In her opinion, whether it was the crown prince usurping the throne or civil strife in Chang'an City, it was none of her and Bao'er's business.

The Liu family is only a third-class noble, and the Liu family cannot be purged even by the great purge. Even if she were to get into the Liu family, with the Jiang family's financial resources at their disposal, she and Bao'er would not die.

Generally, when nobles commit crimes, their female relatives are sent to Yeting or sold to Lefang. As long as the mother's family is willing to pay for the insurance, there is no problem in ensuring everything is covered.

But this plague is different, it is a natural disaster! In the face of natural disasters, it doesn't matter whether you are a nobleman or a commoner.

In the previous dynasty, there was a smallpox outbreak in Chang'an City, and several princes and grandsons died. The nobles also hung white lanterns in every household.

What's more, Bao'er's body is still so weak, even a tiny bit of the plague can kill her!

There was no reason why Mrs. Jiang was not panicked. The reason why she no longer avoided suspicion was because of Princess Ling's superb medical skills.

If the city of Chang'an was really sealed off due to the plague, she could seek medicine from Princess Ling first!

Facing Mrs. Jiang's pleading eyes, Shen Dongsu looked embarrassed: "I don't know what the symptoms of the plague in Minzhou are, so I don't dare to prescribe medicine randomly!"

Suddenly she thought of something, she didn't dare to prescribe medicine randomly, but she could take preventive measures first!

She immediately wrote down ten measures to prevent the plague, including spreading quicklime and vinegar water in the house and washing hands frequently, wearing a mask when going out, not eating raw or cold food, and drinking herbal tea...

Among them, what is a mask? She made one out of cotton cloth on the spot. Mrs. Jiang and Aunt Ji both learned the lesson and asked the embroiderer in the house to make it overnight.

Furthermore, the herbal tea recipe is also prepared by Shen Dongsu, with Daqinggen, also known as Isatis root, as the main ingredient.

Mr. Jiang reacted quickly, regardless of whether Chang'an was closed because of the plague? Just in case, it’s always a good idea to stock up on some medicinal materials first.

She hurriedly sent people to nearby cities and towns to buy medicines, especially Shen Dong Sulie's medicinal materials, buying them by the truckload.

The news is like this. As long as one family knows about it, other people will soon learn about it from other channels.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang left, there was an endless stream of people coming to Prince Ling's Mansion to seek medicine.

I think that since I came to Xishan Courtyard, Princess Ling, no other noble lady except Mrs. Jiang has come to visit me.

And as soon as the plague, which had not yet disappeared, spread, the ladies did not have time to send greetings, and they all came directly to explain their intentions.

The emperor himself said that Princess Ling's medical skills are better than those of the Imperial Hospital!

Well, although Shen Dongsu didn't remember when the emperor said that.

She reiterated that she had never seen patients from Minzhou and didn't know what kind of plague it was, so she didn't dare to prescribe medicine randomly.

I can show everyone her ten tips for epidemic prevention. Regardless of whether there is a plague or not, it is always correct to do the best in epidemic prevention.

The printing press will no longer print books, but will start printing the Ten Articles on Epidemic Prevention. This is very simple, but within a short time, thousands of copies were printed.

Princess Ling was very generous and gave an epidemic prevention manual to everyone who came to visit her.

In the evening of the same day, news finally came out of Chang'an City. The Imperial Guards went out of the city and posted notices, in addition to prohibiting people from moving around.

Another thing is to recruit doctors from the public.

At the same time, a decree came to Xishan Courtyard, and the emperor sent someone to take Princess Ling into the palace.

It was the father-in-law who Shen Dongsu had given a great gift to, and he also brought a souvenir from Prince Ling.

She knew Ling Moxiao's handwriting, and to prevent her from being suspicious, Ling Moxiao specially wrote it with a quill pen and added punctuation marks.

Apart from her and Ling Moxiao, there was no one else writing the letter like this, so she had no doubt that the person coming was from the Queen.

Shen Dongsu asked the father-in-law why the emperor asked her to enter the palace?

The father-in-law sighed softly and said: "Hasn't the princess already guessed it? The ten epidemic prevention measures are very well written. The emperor asked you to bring more into the palace."

Shen Dongsu was instantly excited. Is there the emperor's spy in the house?

The news from Chang'an City cannot be spread, but the news from outside the city reaches the palace very quickly!

She and Yue Jian entered the palace with a thousand copies of the ten anti-epidemic rules, dozens of prepared masks, brewed medicinal tea, and prepared vinegar and water.

The father-in-law didn't mind that she brought too many things, and even encouraged her to bring more.

At this time, Shen Dongsu had mixed feelings in his heart, including being reassured that Ling Moxiao was safe.

He was also worried about the outbreak of plague in Chang'an City, especially since the plague came from Minzhou.

From Minzhou to Chang'an, if you pass through Yizhou, will the news spread in your hometown?

Grandpa Shen is old, but Zhongyang, Xiaohu, and Xiaoman are so young. Father Shen still has underlying diseases. If something happens, she is far away in Chang'an and can't even deliver medicine.

Could it be that despite my excellent medical skills, I couldn’t save my family?

And Brother Xiao Pan from Jiangnan, what if his body is infected with the plague and gets worse, and the Lu family treats him as a lunatic and locks him up?

Shen Dongsu was speechless all the way, his brows furrowed. Even in future generations, with such advanced medical conditions, a plague would kill many people, not to mention this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine.

For some reason, the moment it was determined that Chang'an City was closed due to plague.

Shen Dongsu felt her heart surge, as if she had returned to her previous life as a medical worker, a battlefield without gunpowder smoke.

Not only her mood, it can even be said to be her soul, ever since the original owner fulfilled her last wish and her obsession disappeared.

Although she seems to have complete control over this body, she always has a vague feeling, as if she has no goal or direction in life.

Everything she did was just going with the flow. She seemed to have become a person of this era, and she seemed to be just a passerby living in this body.

Until this moment, her blood seemed to be boiling again. She found her direction and affirmed herself again.

Have you forgotten? You are a doctor!

Saving lives and healing the wounded may sound ridiculous to some people, but in her heart, this was her life motto from the moment she determined to be a doctor.

She asked the father-in-law in a deep voice: "How is Chang'an City doing now?"

If others ask, Eunuch Zhu will naturally answer the question or just give it a perfunctory answer.

But Princess Ling was different from others. The emperor valued her particularly, and her medical skills cured Prince Ling who was helpless in the imperial hospital!

Eunuch Zhu said respectfully: "Back to Princess, it is said that the symptoms of plague first appeared in civilian areas."

"At that time, several dead bodies were found in Jiegouzi, but the city defense camp did not take them seriously and buried them casually in mass graves."

"But a few days later, there were more and more dead bodies with the same disease. Not only in civilian areas, except for the eastern district, nearly a hundred corpses have been found in the third district."

"This is just a corpse, and there are even more people who have symptoms and go to the doctor."

"The whole body medical center was flooded with patients overnight. Seeing that the situation was out of control, the city defense camp quickly reported it."

"The imperial court has always attached great importance to plague. The emperor sent an imperial doctor to investigate and found that it is indeed of the same origin as the plague in Minzhou."

"They also sent people to exhume corpses in mass graves. The first few people to die were undoubtedly from Minzhou."

"I wonder how those untouchables came from Minzhou to Chang'an City? Minzhou has already closed the city?"

……

Eunuch Zhu spoke in detail, but what he said was based on reports from officials.

What Shen Dongsu wants to know most urgently is: "Father-in-law, can you tell me the symptoms of plague?"

Eunuch Zhu recalled: "I heard from the Imperial Hospital that the mild cases include coughing and diarrhea, and the severe cases include coughing up blood, blood in the stool, and abscesses all over the body."

He silently thought that it was best for the princess not to ask about the condition of the corpse. He had never seen it and did not want to imagine the horror.

Shen Dongsu was deep in thought. This situation was similar to that of many plague diseases. The specific symptoms would only be known after seeing the patient.

She asked again: "How long will Chang'an City be closed?"

Eunuch Zhu smiled and said: "This old slave doesn't know, but according to the Imperial Hospital, people who are not sick can go out of the city to take shelter."

Shen Dongsu understood that these nobles were afraid and must have joined hands to put pressure on the emperor. They didn't care about the people, but they cared about their own lives.

The news hasn't spread in the East District yet, so of course you can run away if you can!

Shen Dong Su thought, wondering if the queen and the prince would run away? If they ran away at this time, their reputation would plummet.

It was already dark when they entered Chang'an City. Only then did Shen Dongsu remember that he hadn't eaten yet!

It wasn't dinner, I was too busy to even eat lunch. Aunt Ji urged her several times, but she was either busy with this or something else, so she couldn't get it done.

At this time, Chang'an City was completely quiet, and even the red lanterns in the red light district were not lit.

The entire city of Chang'an is like a sleeping and crawling giant beast, silently licking its wounds in the dark night.

Except for the patrols of the Imperial Guard from time to time, there was not a single person to be seen on the streets.

Carriages with lanterns hanging on them passed by from time to time, and without exception, they were all carriages from the Imperial Hospital.

Chang'an City has a population of 300,000. The task of sealing the city is extremely difficult and huge.

It cannot be closed for a long time. The longer the closure is, the higher the supply will be. Especially the rice and noodles that the people in the city eat are bought on the spot.

If the price of this food increases, there will definitely be a civil unrest.

However, if the city is not closed, the plague has not yet spread on a large scale. If it does, by then, ten houses and nine empty houses will be unaffordable!

The emperor must be under great pressure now!

Needless to say! Shen Dongsu didn't eat two meals. The emperor had hot pot that night, and he didn't have a serious meal after that.

They always bring whatever they want, eat a few bites, and then meet with the ministers to discuss matters.

The emperor's eyes turned red, and the queen specifically requested that the prince's confinement be lifted, and the prince came to relieve the emperor's worries.

The emperor originally disagreed, but Ling Moxiao persuaded the emperor that most of the supplies in the city were in the hands of the nobles.

It would be better to take this opportunity to lift the prince's restraint, let the prince take charge of the supplies in the city, and strictly prohibit merchants from randomly increasing prices.

If the prince manages things well, he will relieve the emperor's worries and the people's suffering. If the prince does not manage well, the prince's hand will be used to punish the duplicitous nobles.

The emperor did not want to be at odds with the nobles at this time, so he followed the queen's advice and lifted the prince's restraint.

The emperor did not know at this time that the plague was caused by the queen.

If he knew, I wonder if he would have banned the queen and never released her.

Compared to the emperor's anxiety, the queen was much more relaxed. Anyway, the plague would never spread to the East District.

It's just some untouchables who die, just die, there are too many people in Chang'an City!

Unexpectedly, because of this matter, the prince's ban was lifted, and the emperor entrusted him with important tasks. It was an unexpected surprise.

Originally, she was still thinking about how to bring Shen Dongsu into the game, but in the end, she didn't need to give her advice. The emperor thought of Shen Dongsu himself.

Humph, Shen Dongsu, I want to see how you escape this time!
