The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

   Chapter 535 Loaded

  In the safe area outside Fengcheng, people who are sure that they are not infected have left one after another, and some are still in the city because of their relatives.

   Eunuch Wu finished reading the letter, and it took a long time to hear Xuanyuanqi speak: "Let them prepare, and send in everything they need as soon as possible."

The    letter was written by Xuanyuan Ziming. It mainly reported the situation in the city. It was sent along with the letter, and there was also a list.

   Eunuch Wu responded that he was about to leave, but when he turned around, a letter accidentally slipped out of his cuff.

  Xuanyuan Qi looked up, and Eunuch Wu explained embarrassingly: "It's a letter from the county master to the empress dowager, and the old slave is going to send it to her later."

   "Written by Ye Yatou?" Xuanyuan Qi frowned slightly: "After all, it was sent from the inside, and people smoked wormwood and gave it to the mother."

   Eunuch Wu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful."

   Xuanyuan Qi was not in the mood to listen to his flattery, waved him down, and when the others left, his face became solemn. According to the letter, an adult man infected with the plague would die in less than seven days.

   Seven days, too fast.

   "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou is back." A **** hurried in to report.

   Xuanyuan Qi sat up straight: "Let him in."

   After a while, the dusty Lord Zhou lifted the curtain and entered.

   Before he could salute, Xuanyuan Qi asked, "How is it?"

   Lord Zhou handed over: "There is no plague in Qingzhou, but..."

   According to previous investigations, the family surnamed Wang was the first to die due to the plague. After inquiring that they had returned to their hometown to visit relatives before, Master Zhou found Qingzhou according to their household registration. Qingzhou was not plagued by plague, but...

   "Tu Village?" Xuanyuan Qi's pupils shrank, looking at the person next to him in disbelief.

"When the minister arrived at Wangjia Village, there was no one in the village, and the whole village only left traces of being burned. The minister also specially inspected three nearby villages, and the situation was the same as that of Wangjia Village. Small amounts of kerosene were found around the villages..."

   No matter which of the four villages the plague came from first, it shows that the local magistrate found the plague but did not report it, and set fire to the village in order to prevent the spread of the plague.

  The Wang family should have left before the discovery. Maybe they didn't even know they had the plague, and they thought it was the cold and went to the hospital to prescribe medicine.

   also coincides with the cold spring, the hospital is full of patients who come and go, and they are all infected.

   Naturally, it can spread in just a few days, and it is natural that Ji Yunxi's help is indispensable.

   "Presumptuous." Xuanyuan Qi angrily slapped the bookcase: "Who is the local magistrate?"

  The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. If the plague hadn’t spread to Fengcheng, no one would have known that four villagers were set on fire and killed.

   Lord Zhou lowered his eyes: "It's Yu Zheng, the magistrate of Yu County."

  Yu is a descendant of the Yu family. Unlike the rest of the aristocratic family, he passed the examination to become an official in the dynasty.

   At that time, he also achieved good results, but because of Xuanyuan Qi's dislike of the aristocratic family, he was released directly.

   In fact, in Lord Zhou's view, setting fire to a plague is indeed the most effective and safest way to do it. After all, there has never been a precedent for a plague that has been cured.

   If it is said that Yu Zheng is wrong, the biggest mistake is that he hides and does not report, and makes his own opinions.

   The mistake was that he didn't investigate carefully, and let the family surnamed Wang return to Beijing, which almost killed a person in the city.

   Xuanyuan Qi gritted his teeth: "The Yu family, it's the Yu family again."

   He now seriously doubts that Ji Yunxi could have known in advance that there was a plague, which was revealed by the Yu Clan.

   He misunderstood the Yu family. Since Yu Zheng chose to set fire to the village, he naturally wouldn't let others know. It was a coincidence that Ji Yunxi met the Wang family.

   "Your Majesty." Lord Zhou took out a letter from his bosom and raised his hands above his head respectfully: "When I arrived at the county magistrate's office, the magistrate of Yu committed suicide, leaving only one letter."

   "Oh, this is when things are exposed, and I know I won't let him go." Xuanyuan Qi sneered: "Bring it here, I want to see what he wrote."

   Lord Zhou came forward holding the letter.

   Xuanyuan Qi took it and opened it, and read the above content roughly.

He reprimanded: "Okay, good Yuzheng. What does it mean for me and the people to be a wise ruler, a benevolent emperor, and I don't want to bear the reputation of cruelty, so I decided to slaughter the village on my own, he killed so many people, I still have to Thank him for failing..." Xuanyuan Qi didn't know whether he should be angry or praising him.

   Lord Zhou did not speak. His Majesty was absolutely decisive in killing the Shang family, but when it came to the people, it was just the opposite.

  If the magistrate of Yu reported the epidemic early, like the sick people in Fengcheng, even if he knew that there was little hope, he would probably have people try their best to heal.

   But doing so will not only cost the people and money, but even cause more people to contract the disease...

   Xuanyuan Qi glanced at him: "Why, you think I'm wrong too?"

   "I dare not."

   Xuanyuan Qi snorted coldly, how could he not see what Lord Zhou thought, not only him, but more than half of the ministers in the court thought that he should kill all those who contracted the plague.

  But there are thousands of people infected this time...

   "Forget it, you go down first and let me think about it." Xuanyuan Qi waved his hand wearily.

   Lord Zhou folded his hands and stepped back, Fang walked to the door, and heard Xuanyuan Qi say: "Yu Zheng's wife and children, let it go."

   He did something wrong, but he at least kept Qingzhou.

   Lord Zhou paused: "Yes."

  In Fengcheng, people die every day due to the plague, and soldiers and doctors continue to fall ill.

   Bowl after bowl of medicine did not improve at all, which made everyone gradually lose hope.

   Several people even started clamoring to take their sick relatives out of the city.

   "It's been two days and no one has been rescued. What's the use of asking you doctors? We're going out."

   "Yes, what else would you say will save us, I think you just want to lock us in here and wait to die."

   "If I had known it earlier, I shouldn't have stayed in the first place."

  …

  Shen Yijia squatted on the side and guarded more than a dozen medicine stoves, and sighed as she watched the person who was finally appeased by Xuanyuan Ziming for a long time.

   "Oops." An exclamation suddenly came from the side.

   Shen Yijia frowned and looked, and saw Xuanyuan Yezheng covering one of his fingers with red eyes.

   "County Lord, your hand is injured? Will the servant girl take you back to bandage it?" Bai Zhi stepped forward worriedly.

   Xuanyuan Ye sniffed: "Yes, but these medicines haven't been fried yet..."

   "Don't worry, county lord, the women will be watching."

   Xuanyuan Ye hesitated: "Aunt Liu, this is not very good, your own..."

   There are too many patients, and everyone has to look after more than a dozen medicine stoves at the same time. Just playing a fan can exhaust people to death.

Aunt Liu waved her hand indifferently: "It's just to take care of a few more furnaces, what's the point. It's you, Doctor Ji, who is more likely to contract the disease if you have injuries on your body, and there is an isolation area next to you. It's better to follow Miss Bai Zhi and leave here."

   "Yes, the county master is a good person, and he thinks of everything for us, but you also have to take care of your own body."

   "You can rest assured here, we will help you watch."

   All those who spoke were left to take care of relatives who were sick.

   In the past few days, Xuanyuan Ye has followed everyone to help, and everyone can see it.

   Thinking that she, a noble princess, could do this for their relatives, she naturally remembered her goodness.

   Xuanyuan Ye seemed to be frightened, his face turned pale, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, my aunts."

   After she finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi understood, and she was ready to leave while supporting her.

   "Wait a minute." Shen Yijia said.

  Xuanyuanye's eyes flashed with resentment, so fast that people couldn't even grasp it. She looked at Shen Yijia aggrievedly: "Sister, what else do you have?"

   Shen Yijia was too lazy to correct her name, and it was nothing to say anyway.

   She glanced at Xuanyuanye's tightly covered hand, noticed that she was stiff for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's okay, aren't you injured? Find a doctor to treat your wound."

   Xuanyuan Ye tightened his hands and cursed Shen Yijia in his heart.

   If it wasn't for this little **** who dragged her out on time every morning before dawn, why would she have to tremble and work so hard...

   But this little **** drags her directly to someone's place every time, making her want to go back to the palace and afraid of being told by others.

   She took a deep breath: "No need, all the doctors are very busy, I don't want to trouble them with this little injury."

   Shen Yijia disagreed: "It won't take much time to deal with a minor injury. Besides, in this special period, you can't underestimate a wound."

The people around    originally thought that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and they nodded when they heard this sentence: "Yes, Mrs. Song said it well, now you can't be sloppy, you should let the doctor show you the county master."

   It happened that the imperial physician was coming in from outside, and before Xuanyuan Ye refused, Aunt Liu said, "The imperial physician is coming just in time, the county master is injured, come and show her."

   Hearing that the county lord was injured, the imperial doctor groaned in his heart, shoved the prescription in his hand into his arms and walked over: "Where is the county lord injured?"

   Xuanyuan Ye hurriedly shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, so I don't need to bother the doctor."

Before the imperial doctor could speak, Aunt Liu became anxious: "Oh, county master, you can't take a small injury lightly, let's just say that Luo Yong accidentally cut a hole in his hand when he was moving something yesterday, and he fell ill today. It's down, he's still a young guy, and..."

   Aunt Liu, Barabala, gave several examples in one breath.

  Other people followed your every word of advice. If it wasn't for a veil blocking it, everyone would have discovered that Xuanyuan Ye's face was dark at this time.

   In his mind, he was quickly thinking about how to shirk. When someone suddenly grabbed his wrist, Xuanyuan Ye only felt pain and let go subconsciously.

  The index finger of her right hand, which was covered by her left hand, was exposed to everyone's sight.

  I saw a red mark on the pulp of her index finger that was almost invisible, and the surroundings were silent for a moment, except for the sound of the medicine stove bubbling.

   Aunt Liu twitched at the corner of her mouth: "This injury is indeed quite small."

   Even the skin is not broken, isn't it small?

   Everyone gave Xuanyuan Ye a strange look, and silently returned to their positions to work.

   "Nonsense, isn't this a matter of delaying the old man?" The imperial doctor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and he even forgot what he was going to do when he came in, and left with a sleeve.

  Xuanyuanye's little face turned blue and white, and said angrily, "You clearly did it on purpose."

   "I made you pretend to be injured?"

  Shen Yijia smiled and rolled her eyes, raised her hand and patted Xuanyuanye's shoulder: "Don't you want to do your best, I finally won the opportunity to help you to stay, you should cherish it."

   Xuanyuan Ye:  …

   If she hadn't eaten twice and lost her memory, she really wanted to rush up and tear this **** apart.

  No one noticed that in the corner, a middle-aged man calmly watched the two swords drawn, and for some reason, the corner of his lips hooked under the veil.
