When the prince's people came to look for Chen Xingyao, Shen Dongsu received a secret report from the guards of Prince Ling's Mansion in advance. She thought about it and told Chen Xingyao personally.

"The people in the East Palace and Chen Mansion seem to have misunderstood something, thinking that you were forced to stay in the restricted area by this princess."

"The prince's people will come to pick you up soon. You can tell them yourself whether you want to go out or not!"

Chen Xingzhen had a pained look on his face. If the prince's people came one day earlier, he would go with them without hesitation.

But after seeing those seriously ill patients and the bodies of dead patients, he knew very well that the consequences of leaving the restricted area would be the same.

There is no specific medicine to cure the plague outside. He will die miserably and spread the disease to his family.

Chen Xingzhen raised his head weakly and looked at Shen Dongsu pleadingly: "Can you really cure me?"

Shen Dongsu nodded firmly: "As long as you cooperate, I promise to cure you! You have also seen that special medicines are available for patients in severe areas."

"Let's put it this way, if I can't save you, no one in the world can save you. If you leave here, you will definitely die!"

Chen Xingzhen smiled bitterly: "Then what else do you want me to tell them? I want to live, so naturally I can't leave."

Shen Dongsu raised his eyebrows and said, "You have to make it clear to Dong Palace that you stay here willingly, not that someone forces you to stay here."

"I don't want to be held accountable by the Chen family afterwards, saying that you, Prince Chen, were detained in the restricted area by me."

Chen Xingzhen looked sad and angry, "I was obviously detained to the North District by your husband, King Ling!" Don’t think that this prince doesn’t know!

But now he was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

If you don't bow your head, you will not lose your face, but your life!

He nodded and said, "Okay! I'll make it clear to them."

Shen Dongsu took him to the entrance of the forbidden area and shouted directly to the spies pretending to be the forbidden army:

"My son is infected with the plague and voluntarily stays in the restricted area for treatment!"

After shouting, he turned to Shen Dongsu and said, "That's enough!"

Shen Dongsu was speechless: "Why are you angry with me? It's not me who caused you to contract the plague."

Chen Xingzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Then tell me who did it!"

Shen Dong pointedly said: "Chen Shizi is so smart, think for yourself!"

"The plague in the northern district was spread by people from Minzhou. Who would travel thousands of miles to send patients from the plague state to the north and deliberately spread the plague in Chang'an City?"

Chen Xingzhen was not a smart man, but he still had a certain political sensitivity, and he couldn't help but react.

Princess Ling kept him not only to heal him, but also seemed to have other purposes.

But he didn't want to delve into this purpose. He was so tired and in pain now, and he just wanted to get cured and leave as soon as possible.

"How could someone deliberately spread the plague? This is a serious crime of decapitation."

Shen Dongsu saw that he didn't answer, so he didn't say anything more. You can't say too much about some things, otherwise people won't believe you. If you say a little bit, the other person will feel itchy, and they will go to find out what's going on.

When the news that Chen Xingzhen was unwilling to leave the forbidden area reached the East Palace, it was also reported that the forbidden army pulled corpses out of the city and burned them every day.

The officials in the East Palace happily deduced: "It must be Princess Ling who led the doctors to develop the special medicine!"

The prince was suddenly startled and hurriedly asked Wei Yuanzheng to order to question all the imperial doctors.

Wei Yuanzheng was even more surprised than the Crown Prince. They were also researching specific medicines, but they were looking at cases and looking up records of historical plagues in the Imperial Hospital to find prescriptions.

He firmly believed that he would develop a special medicine before that little girl, Princess Ling.

You must know that he first rejected the emperor's explicit instructions and was unwilling to go to the North District for medical treatment.

Thirty-two more imperial doctors were sent out, which completely offended these people.

He thought that few of the thirty-two people would come back alive. If they all came back alive, it would be difficult for him to manage the hospital.

What's more, when he was questioned by the queen, he used Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee that he would definitely develop a special medicine before Shen Dongsu.

And now, the prince told him that the restricted area already had special effects!

How could Wei Yuanzheng not be surprised by this? How not to panic!

He couldn't tell the prince that these thirty-two people didn't have any of his confidants. Even if he asked, the other party wouldn't tell the truth.

All we can do is: "Your Highness, no matter whether the medicine Princess Ling uses is a special medicine or not, we must get the prescription."

After thinking about it, he said: "The medicines sent to the North District are all from the hands of the Forbidden Army. Can your Highness get a list of medicinal materials? I will be able to calculate the prescription by looking at the list."

The prince said anxiously: "That's the strange thing. They didn't ask for too many exotic medicines. They all asked for ordinary herbs, and the most common one was Daqinggen."

However, the prince still gave the list to Wei Yuanzheng. After Wei Yuanzheng read it, it was as the prince said. With these herbs, it was impossible to develop a special medicine to cure the plague.

The reason why the prince is so anxious is because he is worried that the queen will know about it. If the queen does something crazy again, he will not be able to stop her in time.

So he had to discuss a charter with Wei Yuanzheng as soon as possible. The two discussed it and finally decided to get the prescription.

Then Wei Yuan presented the prescription for the special medicine to the court in front of Princess Ling.

When Princess Ling submitted the medicine, she said that among the thirty-two imperial doctors, someone saw the prescription from Wei Yuanzheng, followed the prescription to the restricted area to try it, and it turned out to be successful.

At this time, there happens to be one person who is very suitable for taking on a big responsibility, and that is Chen Xingzhen.

The prince sent spies again, entered Chen Xingzhen's ward in the middle of the night, and met with him.

Upon hearing that the prince asked him to steal the special prescription, Chen Xingzhen refused at first. It turned out that the spies, the prince himself, told him that he had escaped from Youzhou, and the emperor was furious.

Even if he gets cured and goes out, he will still be punished. If he helps the prince complete this matter, the prince can guarantee that he will not be severely punished.

He also showed him the prince's handwritten letter, which said that if Princess Ruoling had submitted a special prescription, he would not be able to secure his position as crown prince.

The East Palace and the Chen family are both prosperous and devastated. Xing Zhen must be able to figure out the key.

There is no need for him to do anything else. He only needs to give this spy a copy of the special prescription or special medicine.

Chen Xingzhen dragged his sick body and thought about it. He had no choice but to offend the prince.

When he thought of the situation he would face after going out, for a moment, Chen Xingzhen wanted to hide in the restricted area.

That night, he went to the pharmacy to get a dose of medicine for the spies. He said in embarrassment: "I can't find the prescription, and I didn't see them taking the medicine according to the prescription."

In addition to a portion of medicine, he also randomly took a few things that Shen Dongsu hid like treasures. He didn't see them clearly in the dark, so he put them into a sack and gave them to the spies.

Soon these things arrived in front of Wei Yuan's official case, and then Wei Yuanzheng felt the veins on his forehead jumping. What kind of idiots are these prince's spies?

Or is Chen Xingzhen a fool? What are you holding here? A pile of green moldy vegetable and fruit steamed bun slices, they all stink!

And this medicine, whether you smell it or drink it, smells like pickled cabbage and rancid water. Is this medicine?

Wei Yuan fell down angrily, feeling that it was really difficult to accomplish anything big by working with such a bunch of idiots.

When the prince came to ask, he showed these things directly to the prince. The prince covered his nose in disgust and ordered the spies in the North District not to come out.

Even this little thing can't be done well!

The two of them threw all the oxytetracycline and raw materials they got into the garbage. They didn't know if Wei Yuanzheng would be so angry that he would beat his chest when he found out the truth afterwards.

The two of them concluded that Shen Dongsu had not developed a specific medicine at all, and the fact that there were fewer dead bodies could only mean that the plague did not spread too widely in the first place, and those who contracted the disease were almost extinct.

As for Chen Xingzhen's unwillingness to leave the penalty area, he must have been intimidated by Shen Dongsu.

They were overthinking it. With the medical skills of Shen Dongsu and a mountain man from Tulang Middle School, how could they develop a medicine to cure the plague?

Even with the help of those thirty-two imperial doctors, they would not surrender to a little girl. It was too late to save their lives in the North District, so how could they bother to research new medicines!

The prince felt relieved: "That's great! If Shen Dongsu really develops a special medicine, the queen mother will be furious."

Wei Yuanzheng was frightened when he thought of the queen being angry. In fact, the queen's temper had improved in recent years.

In the early years, when there was more than one Miao girl by her side, her method of dealing with disobedient concubines and dissidents would make anyone tremble in fear.

For those women who died tragically, the Queen would ask him to finish them off and make them look like they were sick.

He remembered the worst case of a woman who was thrown into a jar filled with snakes and insects by the queen and eaten alive, with only her head still outside the jar.

It was only with these experiences that he gained the queen's trust and finally reached the position of dean.

Therefore, the queen must not be offended. In the same way, he was as afraid of the queen's anger as the prince.

Hearing the prince ask again: "Wei Yuanzheng, are you sure that Princess Ling has not developed a special medicine?"

Wei Yuan was looking at the list, and then thought of the disgusting pile of penicillium, and nodded firmly: "Absolutely not!"

"I estimate that the patients in the restricted area are almost dead."

Upon hearing this, the prince was overjoyed. Haha, Ling Moxiao and Shen Dongsu, you took on the important task of controlling the plague in front of your father.

The father directly gave a thousand imperial troops to Shen Dongsu, and also ordered me and Princess Ling to give her whatever she wanted.

Is this how you treat the plague? After killing all the patients, is it considered cured?

This was the best news that the prince had heard recently, and he felt that even his pores felt relaxed.

It was obviously the twelfth lunar month of winter, but he didn't feel cold at all. He was finally able to straighten his back and go to see his mother.

Recently, every time I see my mother, I get scolded like crazy.

When the prince told the queen that Chen Xingzhen was unwilling to leave the restricted area, before the queen could get angry, he told the queen that Chen Xingzhen was acting as a spy and stealing Shen Dongsu's medicine.

The queen's anger gradually subsided and she nodded: "Xing Yao actually preferred to stay in the restricted area in order to serve as an internal support for you. You should be rewarded!"

The prince is slandering, how can you praise him? The queen mother treats her maternal nephew much better than her son!

"What medicine did Xing Yao get for you? Did that bitch really develop a special medicine?"

The prince said disdainfully: "She is playing tricks! Just to ask for rewards in front of the father!"

"Those so-called special medicines are confusing. I asked Wei Yuanzheng to read them, including the list of medicinal materials sent to the North District. Wei Yuanzheng said that they cannot be special medicines."

The queen was relieved and sighed: "If Aunt Shi were here, I wouldn't be held back by a bitch."

If Aunt Shi is here, even if she spreads the plague in the palace, Aunt Shi can keep her people safe.

Unlike now, if a plague spreads in the North District, it will become uncontrollable.

He then heard the prince smile and say: "Mother, Wei Yuan has just received a happy news. Would you like to hear about it?"

The Queen glared at him: "If you have anything to say, tell me!"

You are also a bitch! I didn’t scold you today, so you dared to become arrogant!

The prince smiled and said: "After counting the number of corpses pulled out by the Forbidden Army, Wei Yuan has just concluded that all the patients in the restricted area are almost dead!"

"There have been no corpses pulled out recently because people are dying, not because there are special medicines!"

"Haha, Queen Mother, do you think it's funny or not? Shen Dongsu's method of controlling the plague is to kill all the patients!"

"Let's see how King Ling covers up for her this time!"

The queen also beamed with joy: "Seriously!"

The prince was also overwhelmed by the recent bad luck. A big happy event was delivered to him. He did not check whether it was true or not, but patted his chest and said:

"It's absolutely true! There is no special medicine and there is no patient's body. There is only one possibility. The patient is almost dead!"

The queen's eyes shone with joy: "Good! Very good! In this way, there is no need to spread the plague in the North District."

"In the early morning, you sent someone to write a letter telling Princess Ling that she looked down upon human lives and treated people's lives as nothing."

"She has no medical skills at all and has been deceiving His Majesty."

"I want to see how Prince Ling will find a reason for her this time? If the emperor is still partial, all the officials will have objections."

He looked at the prince with admiration and said, "You did a good job this time. You were able to find out the truth of the matter through the smallest details, and you were not deceived by that bitch."

"Very good! If you could always be so wise, the Queen Mother wouldn't worry like this."

The prince lay down on the queen's lap and said with emotion: "It's the queen who taught me well. It's all because of the queen that my sons are where they are today."

"This time, Ling Moxiao was severely injured, so that he can no longer make trouble. The mother can also rest, and no longer has to worry about doing things for her son."

The prince wanted to say, Queen Mother, you must never do anything like spreading plague in Chang'an City again!

But he didn't dare, so he could only use this method to persuade the queen.

The queen sighed softly: "If you don't sit on the dragon throne for a day, the queen mother will not be able to rest for a day."

"By the way, Xing Zhen, you must rescue him as soon as possible and let Wei Yuanzheng treat him personally."

"Don't let that bitch find out and be forced into a desperate situation, dragging Xing Yaoyu to death."

The prince nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, queen, my son and minister will definitely protect Xing Zhen."

The queen was very pleased that her son was so filial and obedient and cared about his mother's family.

She was already imagining the scene of Ling Moxiao kneeling in front of her to plead for Shen Dongsu.

In the restricted area, Shen Dongsu naturally discovered that the oxytetracycline had been tampered with, and quickly found out that it was Chen Xingyao. At the same time, she also wanted to understand what went wrong.

She can control other aspects, but she can't control the imperial army burning corpses!

There can't be no dead bodies, so she conjured some dead bodies and asked the imperial army to burn them.

There have been fewer corpses for many days, so the spies who have been keeping an eye on the restricted area can naturally find them.

She pondered for a moment. Even though Wei Yuanzheng had stolen the Terramycota poison, he couldn't replicate it for a while.
