The Chen family was frightened and frightened. What they were afraid of was not that Chen Xingzhen's escape from Youzhou would be exposed. People like them would not be executed even if they abandoned the city and fled.

There are already several generals in Youzhou who have abandoned the battle and fled. The emperor can only dismiss them from office, or at most be sentenced to exile.

But if you exile them, they will enjoy the same experience wherever they go. Even if I go to Lingnan, I still won't be able to endure hardship.

Especially Chen Xingzhen, a scholar of the Chen family and the nephew of the queen. His trip to Youzhou was an accident in the first place, not to mention that there was no war in Youzhou?

The child is concerned about his elderly grandmother at home, so he sneaks back to meet her and see who dares to join in the performance!

What frightened the Chen family was, why did Chen Xingzhen end up in the North District?

What is that place? Untouchables swarm, and now there is a plague. The North District is closed and no one can enter or leave freely.

The Chen family hurriedly sent people to the North District to find out, praying that what the letter said was false and that Chen Xingzhen was not in the North District.

As a result, the Chen family could not enter the North District at all. The Forbidden Army they were familiar with could bribe them before, but now they have become selfless.

It was said that the North District was arresting spies and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

The Chen family couldn't tell Chen Xingzhen's whereabouts directly. If word spread, they would not be able to pick him up quietly from the North District.

The Chen family was anxious and anxious, and suddenly remembered that in the early morning, the emperor ordered the prince to investigate the case in the North District.

yes! Looking for the prince! The prince's people will definitely be able to enter the North District. If Chen Xingzhen is really inside, they can be replaced quietly.

Chen Guogong went to the East Palace to find the prince in person, but learned that the prince went to the palace to see the queen and never came back.

At this time, the prince was kneeling in front of the queen. It was not that he had made any mistakes, but that he had performed very well recently and was praised by the queen.

He was so frightened that he knelt down directly.

Because the Queen told him the truth, the plague in Chang'an City was spread by the patients brought by the Queen from Minzhou.

The prince felt as if he had heard some shocking secret, and he had no idea why his mother did this?

It's like a rich man who has no worries about food and clothing, but has a whim and feels that life is too ordinary, so he runs to invite a thief into his home.

There was a plague in Minzhou, and the Chidao from Minzhou to Chang'an was closed for fear that the plague would spread northward.

The queen mother actually took the sick to Chang'an by waterway, and deliberately spread the plague!

If he hadn't always been afraid of the queen, the prince would have wanted to ask, queen mother, do you have a fever?

"Mother, why are you doing this? If this matter gets spread, it will be a serious crime!"

The queen snorted coldly, and her eyes turned to contempt when she looked at the prince. I was smart all my life, so why did I give birth to such a timid and fearful son?

"Why do I do this? It's not for you! You were grounded by your father, and your father promoted Prince Ling."

"If I don't do something, your position in the East Palace will change hands!"

The prince can't understand it even more, so instead of killing Ling Moxiao, you drag the entire Chang'an City into trouble?

"The Queen Mother should have allowed Ling Moxiao to go to Youzhou smoothly. Then we would send killers to sneak into the people of Northern Xinjiang, kill him, and put the blame on the people of Northern Xinjiang."

"But at the critical moment, the queen mother left Ling Moxiao in Chang'an City to deal with the Shen family."

Hearing him talk about this matter, the queen became even more angry. She slapped the chair and cursed: "How dare you mention that before!"

"If you hadn't taken advantage of the situation and let Ms. Shen find out, I would have punished her long ago."

The prince knew that he was in the wrong, and he also knew that he could not reason with his mother because the queen was unreasonable at all.

In her mind, she never makes mistakes, things go against her wishes, it's just that the people below don't do it right.

Seeing that the prince's face was as frightened as a vegetable, the queen said coldly: "What are you afraid of? You still say 'this is a big crime'. Who in the world can punish me for this crime?"

The prince knew that he could not persuade the queen, and what happened had already happened, so he had no choice but to make amends. In other words, the only way to calm down the situation as soon as possible is to cooperate with the queen and achieve her goal.

The prince hurriedly asked: "What does the queen plan to do?"

The queen then said approvingly: "If you had asked this earlier, you would have saved yourself so much saliva!"

"The spies that I arranged in the North District were all picked out by that bitch Shen for some reason."

"Since you are responsible for investigating this case, then you can use it to frame the spread of the plague on King Ling."

"In addition, the plague in the North District broke out too slowly. If it continues like this, maybe that bitch will actually develop a special prescription."

"You take over the control of the North District and spread the plague wider and wider. Just be careful not to spread it to the East District."

After all, the prince is the prince, and his attitude towards the people is stronger than that of the queen. He couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case, I'm afraid many people will die."

The queen sneered:

"The people in Chang'an are too comfortable. Look at the people at the border gate in Mobei, just like leeks, being cut off one after another by the barbarians from the northern Xinjiang and Western Regions."

"These untouchables are eating and waiting to die in Chang'an City. They are as dirty and low-grade as the abscesses on Chang'an City."

"Why not take this opportunity to cut off these abscesses?"

"Even if you care about the common people, you should also care about nobles, poor families, and good people, not these untouchables!"

"Go! Not only do I want Ling Mo Xiao and Shen to die, I also want them to be infamy for thousands of years!"

"Once this matter is done, no one can touch your position as Crown Prince!"

She didn't say anything about preparing to slay the dragon. Even a plague could frighten the prince to paralysis. Knowing her plan to slay the dragon, he would be too frightened to leave the East Palace.

After the matter is completed, the prince will directly take the throne, and she will be the queen mother with sole power.

But unlike the current empress dowager, who actually believed in Buddhism and was sent to Xishan by the emperor, the Lu family plummeted.

Her Chen family will stand for thousands of years!

The prince returned to the East Palace and immediately arranged for people to take over the North District. At the same time, he sent his henchmen into the North District to prepare to spread the plague.

After the order was sent out, he received the news that Chen Guogong came to visit not long ago, but he was not in the East Palace and left again.

The princess said, looking at Chen Guogong's face, it seemed that something was urgent. But when she asked what it was about, Chen Guogong didn't say anything.

All the prince's thoughts were devoted to matters in the North District. He felt that the job given by the queen was just a piece of coal.

No matter what you do, you will get burned! The father is not easy to fool, and Prince Ling is the reincarnation of a fox, who wants to spread the plague and make Princess Ling unable to leave the North District.

It's too difficult to blame King Ling for the incident!

The prince was all focused on this matter and had no time to go to the Chen Mansion.

What a coincidence, when Chen Guogong came to the East Palace for the second time, the prince went to the North District.

The people sent by the Chen Mansion replied again and said that they could not find out. It was as if the control in the North District had become stricter overnight.

Chen Guogong was very curious, how did Princess Ling manage such a chaotic and complicated North District in such a short time?

If he asked Shen Dongsu face to face, Shen Dongsu would definitely answer him, it was the credit of Yinzi!

As long as the money is in place, management becomes much easier.

However, Chen Guogong was just curious. He couldn't delay Xing Zhen's affairs, so he went to see the prince again.

At the same time, Ling Moxiao, who had been paying attention to Chen Xingzhen's situation, admired the Chen family's speed in doing things.

It’s so slow! This is a matter of life and death, but you didn't respond for so long?

If this continues, he will doubt whether Chen Xingzhen is Chen Guogong's biological son!

Fortunately, at this time, he received news that Duke Chen Guo was looking for the prince. At the same time, he also received news that the prince had taken over the imperial army and quietly sent many people into various buildings in the North District.

Ling Moxiao was angry and heartbroken. The queen was a crazy woman, but the prince didn't stop her and went crazy with her!

Can you, the prince, not know what the consequences will be if the plague spreads? Don’t you know how many people will die?

Could it be that in the eyes of the prince and the queen, the lives of the people are not lives?

Just when Ling Moxiao was waiting for the right opportunity to expose Chen Xingzhen's affairs, he unexpectedly received a letter from Mo Xiujin.

Since Mo Xiujin went to Jiangnan, he never used the hidden stakes he left in order to prevent any evidence. It seemed that something important had happened, otherwise he would not have written to Chang'an City when the plague was raging.

Ling Moxiao opened it and took a look, only to feel a chill going straight from the soles of his feet to his forehead. He was frightened. If Mo Xiujin's guess was true, it would surely shock the world!

He sent people to look for the ship on the canal overnight. It was already freezing cold and the canal was frozen, making it impossible for the ship to move.

It's very easy to find the ship. You can get news within five days of going back and forth.

While he was waiting for news about the ship, he was also waiting for the prince's actions.

Fortunately, another piece of good news came, naturally from his little lucky star.

Shen Dongsu searched throughout the North District and found a jar of aged mustard marinade that had been buried underground for nearly ten years.

Fortunately, this marinade has been fermented into natural antibiotics, which is the best medicine for treating lung diseases.

At the same time, she also made progress in making penicillin. She successfully refined penicillin according to the previous production method of oxytetracycline.

Originally, these medicines were to be tested on animals first, but the current situation does not mean that she is cruel and inhumane.

Rather, the number of patients dying from the disease in the restricted area is increasing every day. Trying out new drugs on those patients who die frequently may give them a chance to save their lives.

Shen Dongsu asked the imperial doctors to try it on critically ill patients first, and then speed up the refining of oxytetracycline.

She also tried extracting astragalus with high-strength wine, but unfortunately there was no fresh astragalus at this time of the year.

Only if it is dried, the efficacy of the medicine is greatly reduced, but it is still more effective than other medicines in treating dysentery.

Good news has been obtained one after another in terms of drugs, and the trial of oxytetracycline has also been very effective. The number of critically ill patients rescued is increasing day by day.

The imperial doctors were overjoyed, and the feeling was no less than that of a wedding night.

They were abandoned by Imperial Physician Wei and came to the North District to break through the door of death!

Unexpectedly, Princess Ling actually led them to develop a good medicine to cure the plague.

However, Princess Ling said that because the efficacy of the medicine was still unstable and continued testing was needed, it would not be easy to report it to the court for the time being.

They also agreed. The concerns of the imperial doctors were different from those of Princess Ling. If this medicine was reported at this time, it would be difficult for the people north of the imperial physician Wei to study it.

The medicine was taken to the Imperial Hospital for development. Naturally, these imperial doctors who had been to the North District could not return to the East District for the time being.

This achievement was obviously snatched away by Wei Taiyi.

Don't think that the imperial doctors are villains. Haha, taking away the research results of their subordinates has been the same throughout the ages.

After preparing oxytetracycline, Shen Dongsu's confidence doubled, but the difficulty of the task also increased.

Before, she thought that she only needed to control the plague, but now it seems that she has to find out the mastermind behind it.

This matter needs to be exposed and everyone in the world knows, otherwise what will she do if she thinks it will happen again?

That woman went crazy and ignored her. This time she was in the North District. What if she directly spreads the plague in the palace next time?

Shen Dongsu felt that after her Prince Ling collected the evidence and made the matter public, even if the emperor did not depose the queen, he would be able to let the queen, like the queen mother, live in confinement in Xishan Mountain for retirement.

As for the prince, let’s continue to ban him from the East Palace! Shen Dongsu felt that even if the emperor took this opportunity to depose the prince, Ling Moxiao could not take advantage of this opportunity to take over the East Palace.

The emperor is still in his prime, whoever enters the East Palace will be a target.

It is better to go to Youzhou and manage Mobei well. When the Northern Xinjiang is defeated, Beidahuang becomes Beidacang, and you have your own military power.

Now that the emperor is old, if he appoints Ling Moxiao as the crown prince, no one in the world will have any objections, and they will not dare to have any objections.

The prince was kept in the East Palace as a living target, and he could also confuse the nobles.

She did not report the development of the new drug to the court, but she wrote a letter to Ling Moxiao.

She knew that Ling Moxiao must be worried about her day and night outside. At this time, she didn't know that the prince had taken over the control of the North District.

When Chen Guogong came to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince had already issued an order to his henchmen lurking in the North District to spread the plague.

When he heard Chen Guogong say that Chen Xingzhen was suspected to be in Bafang, North District, he also asked the prince to send someone to verify it as soon as possible.

The prince was shocked because his confidant was in Bafang! That's where the plague comes from!

He felt that the queen's plan could be hidden from others, but there was no reason why she should hide it even from her uncle!

What's more, Chen Xingzhen was involved, so the prince told the queen's plan.

Chen Guogong's face was immediately frightened, and his reaction was not much better than when the prince first heard the news.

But in addition to worrying about the incident being exposed, he was even more worried about Chen Xingzhen who was in the North District!

Chen Guogong grabbed the prince's arm, his eyes were wide and bloodshot, and his saliva was about to spray onto the prince's face:

"Your Highness, you can't ignore Xing Zhen!"

"Quick, send someone to pick him out first!"

The prince hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will send someone to pick you up right now."

When the people from the Prince's faction rushed to Bafang, Ling Moxiao's people threw Chen Xingzhen into the street in time.

When he saw the imperial army, Chen Xingzhen, who had been imprisoned for many days, shouted in the street: "I am a scholar of the Chen family! Quick, let me go. The Chen family will reward you!"

The Forbidden Army was still hesitating when someone shouted: "He is sick! Get him to the restricted area for treatment."

Chen Xingzhen was so anxious that he almost cried. How could he be so unlucky?

He shouted repeatedly: "I am not sick! Quickly, take me back to the Chen Mansion!"

The Imperial Guard stepped forward to take a look and saw that his face was pale, his lips were covered with blisters, and his eyes were red and swollen. This was obviously a sign of illness!

No more hesitation, it remains to be verified whether you are a scholar of the Chen family, but there is no doubt that you are a patient.

He hurriedly grabbed the sack and threw it on the cart and pushed into the restricted area.

The prince's people were a step late and when they arrived at the gate of the restricted area, they happened to hear Chen Xingzhen shouting:

"I am not sick! Send me back to the Chen Mansion. I will be rewarded heavily!"

In less than an hour, the news spread throughout the capital, including Chen Xingzhen, the queen's nephew and a scholar in the Chen family.

He abandoned Youzhou and fled back to the capital, hiding in the North District and contracting the plague.
