Rebirth as Princess Jin again

In the blink of an eye, it was July, the sun was blazing, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The fetus in Su Ying's belly was now eight months old, and she was getting lazy. However, in order to have a smooth delivery, she forced herself to move around more every day.

It's just that the weather is hot, and I started to sweat profusely after walking for a while. The summer cicadas outside the house are getting more powerful, no matter how bright the sun is, they are still screaming at the top of their lungs.

However, there were suddenly many more patients in the major medical clinics in the capital. The symptoms were almost the same, including diarrhea, headache, and cold hands and feet.

At first, the doctor thought it was heat stroke, so he prescribed medicine for heat stroke. Not only did the patients not get better after taking it, but their symptoms became more obvious.

Until those who got sick first began to die one after another, and in the following ten days, more and more people died.

The doctor was helpless and they panicked. Then someone finally noticed something was wrong and began to suspect that an epidemic was coming.

After Shen Ruming got the news, he didn't dare to slack off and immediately reported the matter.

Situ Lin understood the seriousness of the matter. The weather was hot and if the plague spread, it would be difficult to control the situation.

He immediately sent all the imperial doctors in the palace to the areas where the epidemic was most serious. After consultation with the imperial doctors, it was finally confirmed that it was indeed a plague.

The first outbreak occurred in the north of the city, followed by the east and west areas of the city. People began to die one after another, and the people in the capital began to feel uneasy.

Situ Lin knew that Su Ying was about to give birth and didn't want to disturb Su Ying.

But now the situation is out of control, but within a few days, the number of deaths has been increasing.

Situ Lin understood the horror of the epidemic and immediately closed the entrance and exit channels to the capital, isolated the patients, and quickly summoned Su Ying into the palace.

Although Su Ying did not go out in the mansion, she had already learned about this matter. There was no such plague in the previous life, and all plagues must have causes.

But there were no natural disasters near the capital, so where did the plague come from?

This plague came so out of nowhere that Su Ying had no clue.

This kind of invisible killing thing can destroy the belief in people's hearts the most. Everyone in the capital is in danger.

Everyone was hiding at home and did not dare to go out. For a while, the noisy capital became so quiet that people felt panicked.

Except for soldiers walking around on the streets, most of the people stayed at home.

Although there are many people in the medical treatment areas set up by the government, they are basically lifeless. The doctors are exhausted and the patients are exhausted.

The cicadas outside the palace were noisy. Situ Lin was upset when he heard it. He shouted to the guards outside:

"Drive away all those cicadas. Don't leave even one behind! Why hasn't Princess Jin entered the palace yet?"

The eunuch beside him knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say anything and hurried down.

When she was going out, she happened to see Su Ying coming in. She hurriedly leaned over to salute and reminded her in a low voice:

"The Emperor is in a bad mood, Princess Jin, please be careful."

Su Ying nodded, walked to the hall, saluted Situ Lin and said, "See you, Father!"

Seeing her arrival, Situ Lin's expression finally relaxed a lot. He glanced at Su Ying's bulging belly and said hesitantly:

"I know you are about to give birth and I didn't want to disturb you, but the epidemic is getting worse."

"The Taiyuan Hospital has not yet developed a prescription to deal with the epidemic. Even the source of the outbreak cannot be found. I am really worried. I have no choice but to invite you to the palace."

Su Ying took out a prescription from her sleeve and offered it with both hands: "Although I have not personally visited those patients, I have consulted some doctors these days."

"After understanding some of the situation, I wrote a prescription. My father might as well give this prescription to Dr. Zhang and ask them to find some patients to try to see if it is effective."

Situ Lin reached out and took the prescription from her, with a hint of joy finally showing on his face:

"Okay, okay...you didn't disappoint me. I heard that some people around the palace are also infected. You might as well live in the palace. You are now a month old. If anything happens, Concubine Shu will be fine." Take care of it.”

Su Ying thought about it again and again and nodded.

She saw the memorial on the table and asked: "Father, I heard that the epidemic is mainly concentrated in the north, east, and west of the city. On the contrary, only a few people are infected in the south of the city. Have you ever thought about why the south of the city is infected?" There are few people.”

Situ Lin frowned and said, "I also find it strange. I have also sent people to the south of the city to have a look. The symptoms of those patients are no different from those in other places, and their pulse conditions are similar. I am extremely confused at this moment."

"I asked Jing'er to investigate, but I still have no clue."

"Father, there is no need to investigate. I know the reason." A familiar voice sounded outside the palace. Su Ying turned around in surprise and saw Situ Jin walking in from the palace, followed by Situ Jing who was also dusty.

"My dear father, my dear father!" The two of them bowed and saluted. Situ Jin raised his eyes and looked at Su Ying for a moment. His eyes fell on her swollen belly, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When Situ Lin saw the two of them, he waved for them to get up. Situ Jin walked to Su Ying's side and whispered: "I'm back!"

Su Ying smiled slightly and nodded lightly.

Situ Lin frowned and asked, "Old Qi, why did you suddenly return to the palace?"

Situ Jin said: "I heard that a plague broke out in the capital. I immediately sent people to investigate around the capital, and finally I found the source of the epidemic."

Situ Lin asked in confusion: "Where is the source?"

Situ Jin waved to Situ Jing behind him, and Situ Jing spread out the map in his hand, and several people gathered around him.

Situ Jin pointed at the map and said: "Father, please see, the people in the capital use more water from the Jishui River. The Jishui River flows from the north of the city to the east of the city, and finally flows out of the capital from the west of the city."

"Only the people in the south of the city are far away from the Jishui River, so most people draw their domestic water from another river, so the number of people in the south of the city is the least."

Situ Lin thought for a moment and said, "You mean the source of this epidemic is water?"

Situ Jin nodded: "I think it is true. The epidemic occurred within a few days, and already tens of thousands of people in the capital were infected."

"The spread over such a large area can only be related to ordinary daily food, and the only thing that everyone cannot do without and must consume is water, so I guess there must be something wrong with the water in the Jishui River."

Situ Lin was a little excited and said, "You are right. I have ruled out all the situations, but I didn't expect that the problem would arise in the water source."

Situ Jing said from the side: "But the imperial palace is also in the north of the city, and our residences are all in the north of the city. How come we are not infected?"

Situ Lin thought for a while and finally understood the reason: "Although the imperial city is in the north of the city, when the imperial palace was built, the ancestors were worried that people would poison the water, so they did not introduce the water from the Jishui River into the palace, but It is brought in from outside the city. Even the water used by the nobles of the major palaces is obtained from groundwater or drinking water from springs outside the city."
