Chapter 106 Epidemic
The old emperor immediately issued an order: "Seal off the village! No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
He was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. If Shen Muchun had not discovered it in time, with the speed at which the disease spread, it would not take long for the entire capital city to become a living hell!
He ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to fully cooperate with the Longmen Medical Bureau to develop a suitable medicine as soon as possible.
At the same time, he issued a secret order to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot, stating that if the epidemic could not be controlled, they should burn down Zhujia Village and Longmen Medical Bureau and kill all the people inside, dead or alive!
Jiang Li learned of the secret order from Xie Changan, and her brows immediately furrowed. She couldn't let anything happen to Shen Muchun and the people from Ghost Doctor Valley, nor did she want the hard work of Longmen Medical Bureau to go to waste!
Xie Changan comforted her, "You have to trust Brother Shen. He is very capable and can handle any difficult and complicated disease."
That night, Jiang Li went to collect mice as usual. The mouse lurking in the villa of Prince Qi's mansion told her a piece of news.
A few days ago, a woman came to the villa. It felt that this woman was very scary and didn't dare to get too close to her.
Jiang Li frowned and told Xie Changan the information.
Xie Changan also frowned: "Is the King of Qi going to cause trouble again?"
He decided to go and find out for himself.
He and Jiang Li sneaked into the villa of Prince Qi's mansion like ghosts and watched for most of the night, but found nothing and did not find any unusual people.
Jiang Li then left the fat rat behind and let it continue watching.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Fatty Mouse ran back to the cold palace in a panic: "Master, something bad has happened!"
Jiang Li was sitting cross-legged practicing martial arts, and was frightened by it. He almost got a stitch in the side and glared at it angrily: "Why are you so panicked?"
"It's Madam Gong, Madam Gong is back!"
Fatty Haozi ran out of breath, "Although the woman's appearance has changed, the aura she exudes is exactly the same as Madam Gong's!"
In the past, these rats never dared to go to Yuhua Palace because they felt that the aura of Nanny Gong was too strange.
Jiang Li stood up in shock: "Go find Yin Jiu and ask him to inform the adults!"
Fatty Haozi fell to the ground and said, "Let me take a breath. There's no point in being anxious. That woman just left the Villa. I don't dare to follow her. I don't know where she went."
Jiang Li rolled his eyes at it, then wrote a note and asked Dalizi to take it to Dongchang and give it to Xie Changan.
Soon, Xie Changan came hurriedly and took out a portrait, "Let your mouse see if that woman is the one in the painting?"
The fat mouse took one look and squeaked, "Yes, that's her!"
Xie Changan showed a fierce look on his face: "She actually dared to come! This time, I will make sure she never returns!"
It’s just the right time to avenge those brothers from the East Factory who died in the line of duty!
He hurried to report to Liao Wuyong.
Liao Wuyong immediately ordered his personal guards to set up a dragnet outside the Prince Qi's mansion in preparation for capturing Gong.
And the King of Qi, knowing that Gong was from the Miao Gu clan in Southern Xinjiang, actually colluded with her in secret? He really didn't know how to live or die!
The people in Longmen Medical Bureau were quarantined for three days, and no one showed any abnormalities. After examination by Shen Muchun and the imperial doctors, it was confirmed that they were not infected with the disease, so the clinic was opened and released.
The child's parents were both infected and suffered from the same symptoms as their son, with vomiting, diarrhea and high fever.
The three were placed in an isolation ward at Longmen Medical Bureau, where they were treated by Shen Muchun and the director of the Imperial Hospital. However, their condition did not improve, but instead became increasingly serious.
Shen Muchun then decided that he would go to Zhujia Village himself to find out the source of the disease.
The situation in Zhujia Village is even worse. The epidemic is raging and people are dying every day.
Although several imperial physicians led a team of doctors into Zhujia Village, the situation did not improve.
Shen Muchun and several fellow disciples from Ghost Doctor Valley went to Zhujia Village. Chu Feixue didn't want to go with them, so Shen Muchun could only let her go and repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble.
On this day, an official in the court submitted a memorial stating that on the day the crown prince was enthroned, a good omen fell from the sky, indicating that the crown prince was a blessing to the country. If the crown prince could go to Zhujia Village in person, perhaps the epidemic could be eradicated in one fell swoop.
The Duke of Zhenguo and others strongly opposed it. The prince was the foundation of the country, so how could he put himself in danger?
The minister who proposed the proposal countered that the founding emperor had an ancestral precept that "the emperor guards the national gate and the king dies for the country." The prince is a role model for all the people, so how could he retreat to the palace just because there is danger?
The two sides argued endlessly, and Nangong Qinghe stepped forward, faced the emperor, bowed deeply, and said firmly: "Your son is willing to go."
The Duke of Zhenguo said anxiously: "Your Highness, please think twice!"
The old emperor took a deep look at Nangong Qinghe and said with great satisfaction: "I am very pleased that the crown prince has such courage and responsibility. My son only needs to supervise the battle from the periphery and never go deep into dangerous areas."
He issued an edict, ordering the Eastern Depot to secretly escort the prince to Zhujia Village, and the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau to lead a team of imperial doctors to accompany him, to ensure the prince's absolute safety.
When Jiang Li learned about this, he went to find Xie Changan and said, "Brother Changan, please take me with you."
She told Xie Changan that she had spiritual consciousness protecting her body and could form a "protective shield" so that the disease could not infect her.
"Your spiritual consciousness actually has such magical powers?" Xie Changan said in amazement.
Jiang Li pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Changan, just take me with you. I will protect you."
"Okay." Xie Changan was touched and gently held her in his arms, "Thank you, little Li Nu."
Nangong Qinghe, with a team of guards, met up with the East Factory guards led by Xie Changan, and secretly rushed to Zhujia Village under the cover of night.
He saw that behind Xie Changan, there was a team of secret guards dressed in black and wearing masks. One of them was petite, and it was Jiang Li!
He was surprised and happy, excited and scared. Why did Ah Li come with him to such a dangerous place? Could it be that she was worried about him taking the risk?
He was so happy that he almost fainted. Even if the road ahead was a bottomless abyss, he was willing to accept it!
Jiang Li was riding on Xiaohong and felt a pair of burning gazes following her closely.
She knew that Nangong Qinghe had recognized her, and she felt helpless. “Your Highness, please don’t let anyone know that I know you!”
She took advantage of no one's attention and gave Nangong Qinghe a warning look. Nangong Qinghe smiled gently, looked away, feeling extremely sweet in his heart.
Xie Changan naturally saw all of this.
He snorted coldly. Jiang Li had no choice but to ride her horse to catch up with him. She felt a little regretful. If she had known that she would face such a Shura field, she would not have come!
When they arrived at Zhujia Village, they found that the imperial guards had been deployed ten miles away from the village. They surrounded Zhujia Village tightly and could not let even a fly out.
Xie Changan suggested setting up camp here, and Nangong Qinghe nodded in agreement.
After settling down, Jiang Li walked into Xie Changan's tent and said with a pout, "Brother Changan, if you keep getting jealous, I'll go back!"
Xie Changan snorted: "Are you doing this for me or for him?"
Jiang Li stamped her feet: "I'm going back!"
Xie Changan grabbed her and hugged her tightly in his arms, saying sullenly, "Then stay away from him in the future and don't let him see you."
"Okay." Jiang Li had no choice but to kiss him again, and only then did she appease this jealous man.
