Chapter 67 cholera is coming
The royal prince and the crescent monarch, handsome men and beautiful women, are just like a perfect match. There have been many discussions in the market. I wonder what kind of wedding the emperor will hold for this pair of immortal couples.
Now this matter can't be solved, which can't help but cause various speculations in the market.
Shangguan Yue's illegitimate child was suddenly exposed, and all kinds of rumors were overwhelming, like floods. Shangguan Yue was quickly demonized and turned into a bohemian woman.
Rumors stop at the wise and flourish at the foolish, but once they involve romance, they immediately attract everyone's attention. Some people relish all kinds of rumors about the new moon monarch, which are vivid. There are people who can prove the truth and reliability of this matter, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Rumors quickly spread around in geometric progression, and the situation reversed so that people were caught off guard. Shangguan Yue suddenly fell from the favored son of heaven to the lost willow that everyone spurned, but it took only one month before and after.
The grand occasion of a long queue in front of Jishengtang Pharmacy asking Shangguan Yue to diagnose the disease no longer reappears, and even the business of the pharmacy has been affected.
Jin Wangfu and Hou Hou were immersed in a gloomy fog, but Shangguan Yue, as if nothing had happened, went to the pharmacy as usual every day, returned to Xiangzhu Hospital to teach Xiao Ye Lei to study, and ignored the rumors from outside.
Feng Xuanrui couldn't go out behind closed doors, didn't think about tea and food all day, and couldn't sleep at night.
A few days later, he found Shangguan Yue and said bluntly, "My father did not believe what he said. Would you like to leave the splendor of the capital and take Ye Er with me?"
"Where?"
"No matter where, as long as we are together, even if we roam the world, I will not hesitate."
Shangguan Yue is very calm, "Rong Hua Fu Gui is just a passing cloud to me. However, we just left so despondently. Are you really willing? Besides, when we leave, what about Empress Yi Fei?"
"It is not difficult to take the mother out of the palace. As long as our family is together, no matter how bitter it is, I will be as happy as perilous."
"You want to run away?"
Feng Xuanrui said, "There has never been the word escape in my dictionary, but my father is surrounded by some adulterers. I can't change the status quo. The only thing that can change is myself."
"If you know that Daliang is facing life and death again, will you still insist on going?"
"Why, there is another war at the border. Why don't I know anything about it?"
"It is more serious than the war." Shangguan Yue gently opened his lips. "It's plague, cholera is coming!"
"Cholera!" Nothing shocked Feng Xuanrui more than this.
"What basis do you have?"
Shangguan Yue's face turned pale. "These days, Jisheng Hall has received many patients with diarrhea and vomiting, and the number is beyond my imagination. I have already tested it with instruments, and I can be sure that it is cholera."
Feng Xuanrui didn't investigate how Shangguan Yue was tested, only murmured with a pale face,
"This is terrible! Thirty years ago, the girder experienced a terrible plague, with untold sufferings and corpses everywhere, which almost destroyed the whole girder. The plague was cholera."
"The cholera, is from other places, the capital has come to many refugees, heard that the government has organized people to stop them outside the city. The court should have received the report, but you just don't know."
Feng Xuanrui is behind closed doors at home these days, and he is a little slow to respond to outside news.
"You just said that officials stopped the refugees outside the city?"
"I just heard, not what I saw. There are not many foreign victims in the city. I estimate that this news should be true."
Feng Xuanrui looked stern. "Now is the end of spring and the beginning of summer. It is the time when the disease is multiplying fastest. If decisive measures cannot be taken in time, the consequences will be unimaginable when cholera spreads."
Shangguan Yue nodded, "I just don't know what measures the court has taken?"
Feng Xuanrui frowned. "My father is old and likes to listen to praise. The prince and the king of Yu do what they like. They often report good news but not bad news and whitewash the peace. It is estimated that my father is still in the dark."
He jumped up. "No, I must tell my father at once about such a big thing."
"Do you think the emperor will see you when you enter the palace now?"
Feng Xuanrui stunned, a deep sense of powerlessness hit him.
"However, if it can't reach heaven, it will delay the fighter. After dragging on for a day, I don't know how many ghosts will die."
"How do you know that the emperor did not take measures, one thousand the situation is not what we think, you rashly into the palace, will only give people a handle. Besides, cholera is a disease that has no cure. These days I have been developing pills for prevention and treatment. Wait a minute and see the situation clearly."
Feng Xuanrui was pleasantly surprised. "Do you have a way to cure cholera?"
Cholera was indeed an incurable disease in ancient times, but for Shangguan Yue in the 21st century, it was effortless.
This is a chance given by God to Feng Xuanrui and her, but this opportunity is too painful and not what she wants to see. There are some things that she must plan carefully. One careless, she and Feng Xuanrui fell into perdition.
Feng Xuanrui is not good at conspiracy, so he is always passive everywhere. She must plan well for him. After all, a prince with two pearls is almost struggling in Daliang if he does not want to depend on others.
How can a man who can't even decide his own fate protect his wife and children?
In any case, it is time to create an era when the King of Jin sealed Xuanrui.
She didn't want to reveal the bottom too early. She only said airily, "I did experiments on some patients in Jisheng Hall. When I succeeded, our Daliang people would be saved."
Feng Xuanrui's eyes lit up. "How sure are you?"
"Sixty percent!" In order not to let Feng Xuanrui be exposed prematurely, Shangguan Yue carefully gave a discount.
The assurance of 60% is not small, and Feng Xuanrui's breathing began to be shortness. "When can the results be produced?"
Shangguan Yue thought, the result can come out at any time, depending on the action of the court,
But she said softly, "This is not easy to say, maybe two days a day, maybe three or five days."
Feng Xuanrui bit her. "You mean, the longest is three to five days."
Three to five days is long enough for the epidemic.
Shangguan Yue nodded. "It should be no problem."
Feng Xuanrui was worried. "You won't let me go to the palace to find my father. What can I do now?"
"Now the court has not announced the epidemic. You can't do anything. You can recuperate at home and wait for the opportunity."
Shangguan Yue's judgment was very accurate. The prince had received an urgent report from local officials, but Emperor Liang felt slightly unwell these days. He was kept in the Pixia Palace of Imperial Concubine Qi and told no one to disturb him.
The prince made his own decision and strictly ordered local officials to set up checkpoints in various places to prevent the victims from fleeing everywhere in an attempt to prevent the spread of the plague.
However, the first batch of victims who fled to Daliang Beijing have already entered the city, and the spread speed of the plague has exceeded everyone's imagination.
In the past, the prosperous city was suddenly empty, shops were closed behind closed doors, and only occasionally there were chief officers carrying the dead passing through the street. The whole capital has become a dead city.
