King Richard was at a banquet hosted by Mrs. Laureys when he learned of the plague in the city.

Although he no longer has any real relationship with this lady, he is still using a pseudonym, so he still has some contacts from time to time.

Moreover, this lady has been in Wangcheng's social circle for many years, and has a strong network. Whenever a banquet is held, many people will always come to participate, and the scene is very lively...

Therefore, when His Majesty the King, who loves to be lively, is still happy to come to join in (to have fun).

It's just now that the plague happened.

The king could no longer maintain a happy expression, and his face inevitably became gloomy in an instant.

When the servant reported that the queen was almost caught in the turmoil in the workhouse, his face was already so ugly... the people around him dared not make a sound.

There was silence at the banquet.

Only Mrs. Laureys uttered an extremely inappropriate cry: "Ah, the queen is there, she, she must have been infected with the disease by those pariahs, right?"

Everyone was silent.

But they couldn't help turning their eyes to the king quietly, either worrying, or gloating, or waiting indifferently for some reaction from His Majesty.

King Richard was livid with anger.

In fact, he didn't think of this!

But there are some things that don't need to be said, and can only be resolved in private, but Mrs. Lauris... this goddamn bitch!

Mrs. Laureys was unaware of this, and put on a pretentious worried look, looking at the king with tender eyes, and said in a delicate tone: "Oh, Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on with the queen now, will she have already passed away?" Falling ill? By God, I really hope she is safe and well."

There is probably some truth to this statement.

After all, it is a blessing to all the king's lovers that a woman who is not liked by the king and has a mild temper occupies the queen's place.

But at this moment, hearing such nonsense...

As far as the king is concerned, every word and every word is harsh!

"Ma'am!" King Richard finally spoke.

With a gloomy face, he accused with anger in his eyes: "You have said enough!"

"I, I'm just too worried about the queen..."

Mrs. Laureys explained hastily.

King Richard's lips curled into a sarcasm: "If you are really worried, why not go visit her with me now."

"To visit her?"

Mrs. Laureys repeated this sentence unconsciously: "Your Majesty, the disease is contagious! Well, it's not that I don't want to accompany you to visit the Queen, but it's unnecessary...I mean, let's go It's just adding to the chaos, you can send doctors, god attendants, witches over there..."

King Richard let out a short sneer.

He no longer spoke to the woman, but glanced at her in disgust, turned and left.

Unexpectedly, Kuna, holding her skirt, quickly chased after her and said, "Your Majesty, I will go with you."

King Richard was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid of the epidemic?"

Kuna looked at him strangely: "I'm afraid, but with His Majesty here, what am I afraid of? Your Majesty is immune to all diseases, and with you by my side, the disease will not come to me."

Only then did King Richard realize that this silly girl had always regarded him as a god, not a human being!

But no matter what.

In such a terrible situation, there is someone who is not afraid of death to accompany him, and there is still some comfort in my heart.

King Richard didn't say much anymore, he just hurried towards the queen's bedroom.

The news in the palace always spread very fast.

Originally, Queen Alisa might not have thought about the problem of the epidemic, but Mrs. Lauris had said such words, and naturally some clever attendants rushed to report it.

Therefore, Queen Alisa hastily ordered that the bedroom be closed, and all the windows and doors be shut tightly.

After the king rushed over, she opened a small door and erected a screen to block it. From a long distance, she said softly: "Your Majesty, I am glad you came here without fear of danger. I am very grateful." Touched. But at such a critical juncture, I don't want to cause you any trouble."

King Richard was about to say that this is not a trouble...

The queen spoke gently again, actually explaining her own funeral: "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much about me. After all, it's unknown what happened. Maybe I can get through this in a few days with your blessing. One catastrophe; but if there is any accident, it is because of my lack of blessings, don't be sad for me, and don't miss me too much, you can just marry another wife who is like you, so that she can give birth to more heirs for you ... In recent years, I have many shortcomings, and you have to take care of me, I am satisfied."

"Stop it, Alisa!"

King Richard almost cried when he heard it, and promised emotionally: "I will not marry another queen. There is no better queen than you in this world!"

Queen Alisa looked at him in amazement, never expecting that this flirtatious king seemed to have some genuine affection for her.

But she is so clear-headed that most of these thin true feelings are affected by the atmosphere at this time, and after a few days, with the selfish and indifferent temperament of this king, he will probably forget it, just like the king who was long ago Mrs. Donna, who forgot all about it.

Therefore, she was still very calm, and she just asked according to the original plan: "It doesn't matter that I am dead, but here is one more troublesome thing I want to ask you, about...about those people in the workhouse. Poor people...they didn't intend to cause any trouble, they were just too scared, please forgive them, Your Majesty..."

"Stop talking, it's not time to explain the funeral!"

King Richard didn't want to hear about the troubled people, nor did he want to spare them, so he interrupted and said in a very low and powerful voice: "Believe me, you will not die, Alisa, I am You are not allowed to die!"

Then, he didn't want to listen to the queen's frustrating words anymore, he only loudly ordered the maids to take care of them, and at the same time called the medical officers to come over for examination and treatment. After directing everyone around, he turned around and left with a little peace of mind.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Kuna chased after her hard, comforting softly: "The queen will be fine."

Only then did King Richard remember that there was still a beauty by his side.

Then he turned around, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and after a long silence, he said softly: "Honey, you are so kind... It's a pity that I am now The queen is so upset that she can't think of any way to reward you..."

Kuna was very naive: "I don't want any rewards, I just hope that you and the queen will be well."

Richard was very moved, and immediately spent a long time with her tenderly and affectionately, and then separated from her.

But at the same time, because of the epidemic, the courtiers who were anxiously waiting for the king had already been waiting for almost an hour in the reception room.

It's no wonder the king...

Because of the plague, there has been no good way to deal with it since ancient times. No matter whether the king comes early or late, the ending will probably be the same!

Therefore, the belated King Richard did not discuss with the courtiers for a long time, and he issued an order neatly:

All the rioters and plague-infected people in the workhouse were executed. Then, the whole city was searched, and anyone who showed any symptoms of illness would be dragged out and killed!

As for the queen's previous request...

It turned out to be a woman's impractical and useless soft-heartedness, so don't worry about it, just keep this matter from her.

Then, terror filled the whole city.

For a time, everyone was in danger.

However, even such a massacre could not stop the spread of the plague.

Due to the lack of reasonable protective measures and treatment measures, more and more people are infected, and because "if symptoms are found, they will be dragged out and killed", there are often cases of secretly hiding patients.

Since then, death has taken the family as the unit.

So that later on...

When Lady Helena talked anxiously to Jamie about the plague, she always said this: "You know what, Louis? Another family has died."

Jamie raised his head wearing a makeshift mask, and nagged again tirelessly: "Ma'am, although this is not very nice to say, please don't worry about other people, and don't go to crowded places, go wash your hands... ..."

Mrs. Helena muttered while washing her hands: "I'm not stupid. I went there after taking precautions. By the way, Louis, I bought some anti-epidemic items that are said to be very effective. You must take a look at it later."

At this time, some merchants began to sell things that were said to be able to prevent the plague.

But in fact, they are all nonsense things that have no scientific basis, such as weasel droppings, wolf testicles, and even more superstitious rumors, such as cutting a pigeon in half and hanging it on the door, and the god in charge of the plague saw it , will choose to detour...

Mrs. Helena was a shrewd and sensible woman in the past.

Infected by the gradually crazy atmosphere of the whole city, he went to buy a bunch of "anti-epidemic items" with the mentality of "I would rather believe it".Although there is no such thing as the one mentioned above that challenges the bottom line of people's psychology, I have bought a lot of messy herbs.

Jamie was helpless and somewhat understanding.

In such a world that lacks effective medicine, if it can bring some psychological comfort to people, in fact, the money is not wasted.

Just for such a menacing plague...

He is neither proficient in medical skills nor has any cheats. All he can do is write an article on how to prevent it. The content of the article is only simple and shallow knowledge, what to keep clean, refuse raw food and raw food water, protection, etc.

But in this world, such a crude manual might come in handy.

What's even more gratifying is that it does not violate the king's prohibition and can appear openly.

Therefore, Jamie spread the epidemic prevention manual at his own expense.

And once he entered the palace, he specifically mentioned this matter with King Richard.

Regrettably, His Majesty the king replied in this way completely unintentionally: "Well, thank you for your kindness, but these things... the water needs to be boiled, and the food has to be cooked... Well, it seems to be a bit complicated to do. Trouble!"

Jamie hurriedly said, "It's not really troublesome, it's just that everyone didn't have such a habit before..."

King Richard raised his hand to signal him to stop talking, and said with a slight smile: "I understand your kindness, but Louis, some things are not so easy to do. For example, heating water and so on, where can I get so much firewood? Boiling water?"

"But in order to control the epidemic, we should think of a way?" Jamie couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, at least we should try it?"

King Richard smiled slightly, and agreed indulgently: "You can indeed try."

Therefore, the palace, especially the queen's bedroom, followed this manual.

As for the folks...

"I don't want to spend too much time on those civilians."

His majesty's tone was very ordinary, and he said to Jamie in a casual tone: "Before this, this good-looking royal city was overcrowded by those refugees who came from nowhere... Let me tell you the truth, My dear Louis, it is sometimes a good thing for a healthy country to die!"
