Chapter 59 Epidemic in the Disaster Area
"You should quickly ask people to collect all the valuable things in the house. If there is really no way to stop those disaster victims for a while, at least we still keep these valuable things!"
"Your excellency, where do you want us to put all those things?"
"Put it in our newly dug cellar before. Hurry up and do it now!"
"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go!"
With that, several women scattered around."Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Lord Cao, His Royal Highness's team has arrived, and His Royal Highness's team still has time to come outside the gate!"
While Cao Xi was thinking about how to deal with it, Mu Yunting's team was approaching.
"What! Why did you come at this time?" The matter here hasn't been figured out yet! The people over there are coming! Isn't this killing him?
"You ask everyone in the house to clean up quickly! His Royal Highness is coming soon!" In such late autumn weather, the cold sweat on Cao's forehead came out. What's the matter? It's all together!
"Quick, go out to pick up His Royal Highness and let them deal with the mob outside first. Don't make a big deal later!" As Cao Shu said, he ran out.
"Your Highness, the gate in front is the gate in the north of the town." Du Zeze came to Mu Yunting's side and said.
Mu Yunting looked at the gate that was already faintly visible and nodded. Tell me to go down and speed up the pace! Get to the city as soon as possible."
"Yes."
The closer it is to the gate in the north of the town, Mu Yunting found that there were more disaster victims who were starved to death not far from the road, and some fleeing disaster victims stopped to look at them when they saw them.
"Is that the team that came for disaster relief?" A thin woman looked down at the team moving towards the north of the town and said.
"It seems so!"
"Really, the court really sent people down! It's really from the court! So are we saved?"
"The court has finally come! Finally here! We don't have to be hungry anymore!"
The so excited victims no longer fled out one after another, but followed Mu Yunting's team and walked back to the north of the town.
"Is the one riding on the high horse His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't it? Come on, open the gate and open the gate to welcome His Royal Highness!" Cao Xiu was so excited that his voice trembled a little, and he finally looked forward to it.
Cao led down to the gate of the city and quickly greeted Mu Yunting's team when he was about to arrive.
"The subordinate participates in His Royal Highness."
Mu Yunting, riding on a high horse, looked down at Cao Shu, who was kneeling on his head.
"Get up, are you the governor of Zhenbei?"
"Yes, it's a subordinate."
"To the city."
Under the order of Mu Yunting, the team continued to move forward.
"Your Highness, the subordinate has arranged the residence for you, which is the subordinate's residence." Cao Shu ran up and said with a smile on his face.
Mu Yunting nodded and asked Cao's people to lead the way in front of him.
"Why did you arrest us? Let us go quickly! You son of a bitch, let us go!" Some of the mobbs who had made trouble outside Cao's house before were arrested by the guards, and they were scolding angrily on their faces.
Mu Yunting, who was already close to Cao's mansion, heard the noisy sound here from afar, and a pair of sword eyebrows obviously frowned together.
"Du Ze, go and see what's going on in front of you."
"Your Highness, it's just some disaster victims who made trouble. The subordinate asked someone to deal with it."
Mu Yunting and others came so fast that he hasn't been able to deal with those people. What a hateful disaster!
Mu Yunting glanced at Cao Shu and didn't say anything more. After hinting at Du Ze, he continued to push forward.
Seeing this, Cao Xi exhaled in his heart.
Cao's servants and concubines moved quickly. The valuable things in this mansion were hidden before Mu Yunting and others arrived.
The people in the house stood in front of the house early, and they all bowed their heads and dared not look. Although everyone wanted to know what the legendary prince was like, and now that he came to their house again, everyone was excited, but Mu Yunting's own nobleness made them not at all. Dare to raise your head and peek.
"See His Royal Highness the Prince."
Mu Yuntingli got off his horse and walked into Cao's mansion first. Shen Yujuan followed him and got off the carriage and followed him in. Because Cao's mansion was quite large, Xie Zhiruo and his group of doctors could also live in the mansion. The rest of the soldiers could only live near Cao's mansion because of too many people. These were handed over to Du Ze for arrangement. .
Looking at the very simple room, Mu Yunting sneered at the corners of his mouth, but he was good at the door.
"Are you the governor of Zhenbei City?" Mu Yunting sat at the desk in the study and looked at Cao Shu, who was standing in the study with his waist bowed.
"Yes, the subordinate is."
"How long have you been in office?"
"It has been more than ten years since I became a governor in the north of the town."
"Oh? More than ten years?"
"Yes, yes."
"Tpeak to me about the current situation in the disaster area."
"Yes, that's what the subordinate said. Since the outbreak of the drought in Zhenbei..." Cao Shu told Mu Yunting the same situation in the disaster area in Zhenbei. Mu Yunting sat at the desk and listened carefully. The more he listened, the more he frowned. The disaster in the disaster area in Zhenbei was more serious than he thought.
"Your Highness, those disaster areas just now came to the subordinate's house to make trouble. Fortunately, the subordinate came back in time, otherwise I didn't know what those disaster victims would do!" After saying that, Cao Shu still looked very helpless and looked quite like such a thing.
"Oh? Why don't those disaster victims come at other times, but come today?" Mu Yunting didn't pay much attention to Cao's appearance and directly asked the doubts about the matter.
"This, this subordinate doesn't know why those disaster victims came today." Cao Shu was shocked by Mu Yunting's words. Unexpectedly, Mu Yunting's eyes were so poisonous that he suddenly grasped the point of the problem! He really underestimated the prince!
"Oi, you go down. If there is anything, I will tell you." He has already got the information from Cao Xiu, and there is no need for him to get in the way in front of himself.
Not long after Cao Xi left, Du Ze came in. Your Highness the Prince."
"Do you know what's going on?"
"Yes, I didn't know until my subordinates asked. The disaster victims rushed to Cao Shu's house so angrily after hearing that someone saw Cao Shu's concubine bathing in water and feeding the good food to the dog."
Mu Yunting raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, there has been a drought in the north of the town for several months. This appearance of Cao Li is still a fat brain, which shows that he has not been too bad in eating during this period. In addition, he saw the transparent mutton jade at his thick waist. You don't need to think about it. It's worth a lot.
He will never believe that a person who can afford such an expensive jade pendant will be so simple in the mansion.
"For the specific investigation of the situation in the disaster area, many of Cao must have not told me the truth."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Your mother, this mansion looks really shabby. Why does it look like there are no expensive things and decorations?" Fei Yun walked around the house where Shen Yuhuan was going to live, curled his lips, and said with some disdain. How can this be so shabby that this is the house to be lived by the crown princess? What a gift!
Shen Yuhuan ignored the complaining Feiyun and went straight to the soft couch in the room and sat down. He glanced at the decorations in the room and smiled with an unclear smile at the corners of his mouth.
Fei Yun happened to see Shen Yuhuan smiling and asked doubtfully, "Mother, what are you laughing at? They are very disrespectful to you!"
"Do you see that Cao is like a gentleman?" Shen Yuhuan looked at Feiyun with a funny smile. She didn't even have this wink after following her for so long. Should she feel disappointed?
"What does the mother-in-law mean by this?" Does the decoration and decoration here have anything to do with the big-headed local official Cao?
"Since he is not a gentleman, how can he not take bribes? Don't you see any traces of being dragged by heavy objects on the ground? Those strips look like brand-new traces, and they are really dazzling.
"Ah, Madam, you mean, there were all the valuable things in this room, but did Cao Shu hide the things after we came?" Fei Yun suddenly realized and said that she felt more and more strange when she looked at this room. It turned out to be like this!
"Otherwise, what do you think?" As a person who can pretend, I don't know how much things are hidden in his small vault.
"Mother, although the maidservant looks very miserable outside, the inside of this mansion is not bad except that it looks simpler." At that time, she thought they were going to live in a very shabby place, which made her worried to death!
"This Cao rate has been in this place for many years. No matter how noisy he is outside, his life will not be much worse." Cao is the local snake here. What's the difference?
"What the Empress said." Fei Yun is now more and more admiring Shen Yuhuan. His master's mind is too meticulous. If other women want to compete with her, I'm afraid they will be defeated by her in the end.
"The maidservant, see the crown princess, the queen Jin'an." A strange greeting sounded outside the house.
"Lady, Lord Cao's wife and concubines come to say hello to you."
"Well, how can a eunuch's concubine and wife be qualified to greet the princess!" Hearing the sound, Feiyun said coldly with some disdain.
"Fiyun! Let them wait in the side room." Shen Yuyan shouted softly and asked people to wait in the next room.
"Yes, mother."
After holding her hair and temples, Shen Yuyan stood up. She must grasp the time to see them, not for too long, so that others will think that her crown princess's air is too big, but not too fast, so it is easy to show that her identity is not noble enough.
Shen Yuyan was well t know this, so she stood up at the right time and walked out.
"Grassman, see the crown princess." Cao had a regular lady and four concubines. At this time, the five were already standing in the room waiting.
Shen Yuyan went to the main seat and sat down, always looking at several people with a soft smile on her face. Get up, all."
"Thank you, Princess." Several people usually haven't seen many women in the market in the backyard, and they haven't appeared in any big scene in the past. The first time they saw the noble crown princess of the whole country, everyone was extremely nervous, and they lowered their heads and dared not look at Shen Yujuan.
"Sit down, all of you. Today, when I come to your mansion, I will be a guest. You don't have to be so restrained." Shen Yujuan's voice was very soft, which made people feel very warm. They unconsciously relaxed physically and mentally.
"Thank you, Princess."
"Since the outbreak of the drought, Lord Cao has been working very hard, and he has also worked hard for several ladies these days."
"No matter where it is, His Royal Highness has been working for state affairs all day long, and the Empress has been with His Royal Highness all the time. Cao Min feels that he is admirable."
The answer is Cao Shuo's legitimate wife. She was the legitimate daughter of a merchant before she married Cao Shu. She is also shrewd and capable, otherwise she can't take care of Cao Shu's concubines obediently, so when she answered Shen Yuhuan's words, she was also a person who knew how to beat her horse.
After chatting with Mrs. Cao for a few more words, and after learning about some situations in the disaster area from her mouth, she asked them to retreat. Today, she also ran around for a day. Shen Yuyan also felt tired, but as the crown princess, she not only had to take into account the situation in the disaster area, but also had to pay attention to the physical condition of the prince Mu Yunting at any time. What's more, if something goes wrong with him, she has to take care of it as soon as possible, otherwise where does her virtuous reputation come from?
Looking at Shen Yuhuan rubbing her temples, Fei Yun came forward and said, "Mother, if you're tired, you'd better go back to the house to rest. It's been running around for a day today."
"Is His Royal Highness still busy in the study?" How can she not be tired? In the past three days, she has been on her way, and her bones are about to be scattered. Now she really wants to go back to Zhaoyang Palace. She has a good sleep!
"Yes, His Royal Highness has been in the study since he entered the house and hasn't come out yet."
"It's getting dark, but His Royal Highness used dinner." She remembered that it was easy for Mu Yunting to forget to have dinner when he was very busy.
"Mother, don't worry, Xiao Huazi has always been with His Royal Highness. He will take good care of the Prince. I'm not in a good mood when I see you. Let's take a rest."
"Well, let people look at that woman. If she has any action, she will tell me, okay?" One by one is really not reassuring.
Feiyun knew who was the woman in Shen Yuhuan's mouth. What else could there be besides Xie Zhiruo? At the beginning, Shen Yuhuan was not so laborious when dealing with Lin Xiaoer and others. It seems that Xie Zhiruo is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!
"Don't worry, my maidservant will make people take good care of her!" Although it is so right, there is a lack of hands and the environment is very chaotic. Who can say this kind of thing? However, in Feiyun's opinion, since Xie Zhiruo has been given to the imperial doctor's pile, she should not be able to turn over any storms.
It was already dark. In a narrow room, Xie Zhiruo looked carefully at the medical book that Li Dongxu had just given her today.
She has no luggage on her body, because her burden has been stolen when she first escaped from Zhaoyang Palace. Now there is nothing on her body except some silver tickets and silver liang that she secretly hides well and some ready-made pills made by herself.
After coming to Zhenbei today, she also found some servants in Cao's mansion to ask about the situation of the plague in the disaster area, and also got a general understanding of the matter. Through the people's dictation, there were several problems that she was not very clear, so at night, she borrowed the corresponding medical book from Li Dongxu and wanted to read. Can you find the answer to her doubts in the medical book?
The symptoms of the plague in the disaster area in the north of the town are that as long as you have the plague, you will die from stuffy chest and poor breathing like a drowning person in the end.
The symptoms of people who have the plague at the beginning are very similar to that of a fever, so when they first get the plague, everyone doesn't pay much attention to it. They all think it's just a fever, but they don't think that the disease can be transmitted. In this way, more and more people get sick under the condition of ignorance.
"As long as the body gets hot, there is no way to lower the temperature again, or it will rise again after the temperature drops..." Xie Zhiruo gently closed the medical book and talked to herself about the symptoms of the plague, and didn't know what she was thinking.
"This disease should be easy to get when human immunity is at the lowest. Now it's dark, and I don't know if Mu Yunting has rested..." He put down the book and looked out of the window and found that the sky was already dark. He unconsciously thought of Mu Yunting and wanted to know what he was doing now. Today It's been almost a day's journey. He must be very tired, but as a prince, he can't be like them. He can rest now. He must have a lot of business to do.
"The plague is the easiest to get it when people's resistance is the worst..." Xie Zhiruo muttered so softly and walked to a wooden cabinet that took out some pills she put in today, and then walked out.
The yard is bright, and many places are lit with lanterns, so you can see the road clearly.
With her own memory, Xie Zhiruo walked to a half-large kitchen she saw during the day.
"Who are you? What are you doing in the kitchen tonight? A middle-aged woman with a slightly fat figure and obvious wrinkles on her face looked like a cook, saw Xie Zhiruo coming to the kitchen and asked rudely.
"Hello, I'm here to make warm soup for His Royal Highness."
"Why don't you go to the big kitchen to make soup for His Royal Highness?" The cook looked at Xie Zhiruo doubtfully and didn't believe what she said.
