Chapter 140 Why is Yu Youning so brave?

Marshal Wen also realized the seriousness of the matter.

He had lived to such an old age that he was naturally not afraid of death, but he was afraid that the people in the capital would suffer this disaster.

Although the tragedy of Xiliang Kingdom happened more than ten years ago and I have not seen it with my own eyes, I still can't help but feel terrified every time I think of it.

It is said that the golden plague spreads very quickly, and it only takes a few hours from infection to onset of the disease.

Once infected, there is basically no possibility of cure.

Xiliang did not want to burn the city at first, and even sent doctors and imperial physicians in to treat the disease, but in the end it was of no use.

In order to prevent the spread of the golden plague and to eliminate panic in other nearby towns, it was decided to burn down the ward.

The fire burned for seven days and seven nights, turning half the sky red and visible from far away.

People living in nearby cities said that they could hear the wailing and screaming even from such a distance.

Later, even after the fire was out, no one dared to approach the ruins, for fear that the golden plague would not be completely burned.

Even now, it has not been rebuilt and is still a ruin.

If the Golden Plague really spreads in the capital, what will the capital become?

What will Dayong become?

Just thinking about it made Marshal Wen shudder.

But now is not the time to be afraid.

"Your Highness," Marshal Wen said in a deep voice, "Jinzun Pavilion must be sealed immediately. No one is allowed to enter or leave. We must also send someone to look for the guests who just left here. Whether we can find them all or not, we must first look for them first..."

Chu Huaixu nodded, opened an empty box at random, and walked quickly to the window.

Chu Huaixu took out a jade pendant from his waist and blew on it. Then he ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately have this place sealed off. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Tell the emperor that the Golden Plague has been discovered here. Have him send the imperial physician over. Also, have someone find the guests who left here and send them all back."

When the secret guards outside heard these words, they were so frightened that they almost fell off the roof.

As the Crown Prince's secret guard, he considered himself knowledgeable and courageous.

But it was not until this moment that he realized that he was actually very timid.

But he was not afraid of his own death, but was afraid that something might happen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But now is not the time to be afraid. He can only leave here quickly and do what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered.

Chu Huaixu returned to the corridor and saw that Yu Youning had walked into the box at some point and was checking the situation of the people on the ground.

Also in the box was Jiang Lingzhou.

Seeing this scene, Chu Huaixu felt his heart in his throat.

How could Yu Youning be so bold?!

Chu Huaixu looked at Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan, "Why did you let Youning in?"

What if I get sick?

Yu Tingwan's expression was also very heavy. After hearing what Chu Huaixu said, he did not show any fear. Instead, he explained word by word, "Prince, Youning is a doctor. She is just doing what a doctor should do. I cannot stop her from doing what she wants to do under the banner of doing it for her own good."

When saying this, Yu Tingwan's voice was firm.

But as long as you look at her face, you can see that her eyes are already red and filled with tears.

It's not that she doesn't feel distressed or worried, but she just has no way to stop it.

It's not just Yu Tingwan, Wen Shiyan and Marshal Wen are the same.

Chu Huaixu fell silent.

He actually understood that Yu Youning was an excellent doctor and that he should not stop her at this time.

But he couldn't help at all and could only stand there and watch.

In the box, Yu Youning and Jiang Lingzhou checked everyone together. They looked at each other and nodded silently.

If they had only suspected it before, now they were certain that the people lying on the ground were indeed the Golden Plague.

Chu Huaixu had been looking at the two people, and when he saw their expressions, his heart sank to the bottom.

He did not regret coming to Jinzun Pavilion today, and even felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, they came today, and fortunately, Yu Youning discovered it in time, so that the entire Jinzun Pavilion could be sealed off to prevent more diners from leaving.

Otherwise, the entire capital city would be in chaos before the afternoon.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a noise downstairs.

Obviously, some diners wanted to leave after finishing their meal, but found that they could not leave, so they started to make a fuss.

Panic is contagious.

When they found out that they were locked up here and not allowed to leave, everyone was terrified and wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

These people wanted to rush out, but Sima Yuwencheng, the city patrol officer, had already brought his men to guard outside the Jinzun Pavilion and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Some people wanted to jump out of the window to escape, but when they saw the cold knife tip outside, they retreated.

Although they couldn't get out, their shouting didn't stop at all.

Yu Wencheng, who was outside, saw the mess inside and wanted to rush in, but he could only endure it.

He also has to guard outside and prevent anyone from causing trouble, so he cannot go in at this time.

Fortunately, at this time, the prince's personal bodyguard Liuyun came over with a group of guards.

They are the prince's personal guards, and they only take orders from the prince. Their lives and property depend on the prince.

Without any hesitation, they rushed into Jinzun Pavilion.

Although there were only a few dozen people, each of them was wearing armor, had a long sword on his waist, and had a cold and imposing aura.

Liu Yun drew out his sword and raised the tip high. "If anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude."

The tip of the knife flashed with a cold light, almost blinding everyone's eyes.

The diners who had just been clamoring to leave were now squatting in the corner with their heads in their hands, no longer daring to make trouble.

Liuyun gave them another cold look before ordering the other guards, "Keep an eye on them. Don't let them make trouble. Don't let them go out."

"yes!"

Dozens of people agreed at the same time, the momentum was magnificent and the sound was deafening.

Liuyun turned and walked towards the stairs. In a moment, he reached the upstairs and knelt directly in front of Chu Huaixu.

"Your Highness, I am late."

Chu Huaixu responded calmly, "Get up, and place those people down there in different private rooms. Don't let them run around. There should be someone guarding the door of each room. Tell Yu Wencheng who's guarding outside to nail all the doors and windows shut from the outside, except for the main door. Don't let anyone sneak out."

"Yes. I'll do it right away."

Liuyun went downstairs again, and soon other guards came upstairs to help the diners.

As one of the best restaurants in the capital, Jinzun Pavilion is naturally very large, with three floors and dozens of private rooms.

They arrived quite early, and although the lobby was full, half of the private rooms upstairs were still empty.

The diners in the lobby were detained in batches, just enough to use up all the remaining private rooms.

Now, the whole building finally quieted down.

The shopkeeper also got up from the ground at this time, "Your Highness, what can I do?"

Although I have already felt hopeless, who would want to die if they can live?

The shopkeeper still holds out a glimmer of hope.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and the Emperor will definitely not ignore them.

What if you can be saved?

Even though this hope is very slim, the shopkeeper is unwilling to give up now.

Chu Huaixu glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "Go and comfort the chef and your fellow workers in the kitchen first. If nothing happens to you for the time being, wait for the medicine to be boiled."

If something happens to them, we will have to find someone else to make the medicine.

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and turned to go downstairs.

But he had just taken a step when he stumbled and fell to his knees.

He didn't dare to delay, and used his hands and feet to get up from the ground, holding on to the wall and going downstairs with shaky steps.

I had just walked halfway down the stairs when my foot slipped and I slid down the stairs.

Fortunately, the distance from the ground was not too high at this time. Apart from some pain in the body and looking a little embarrassed, there was no major problem.

The shopkeeper hurried to the kitchen to comfort the frightened waiters and cooks.

Upstairs, Yu Youning and Jiang Lingzhou also temporarily agreed on a prescription.

Yu Youning walked out of the house. "My junior brother and I have already discussed a prescription. Let's have someone outside bring the medicine in first!"

Chu Huaixu has known Yu Youning for such a long time, but this is the first time he has seen Yu Youning so serious.

He didn't have time to think about it, and said quickly, "There should be pens, ink, paper, and inkstone at the counter downstairs..."

"Then I'll go down and write."

Yu Youning said this and ran downstairs, and Chu Huaixu hurriedly followed.

Jiang Lingzhou did not follow them downstairs, but just watched them leave.

The people in the box have reached the outbreak stage, and new situations may arise at any time. He must stay by their side all the time so that he can adjust the prescription and treatment plan according to their symptoms, so that the golden plague can be cured.

As for the rest... let's talk about it after we successfully get through this matter!

Yu Tingwan looked at Jiang Lingzhou, "Lingzhou, is there anything we can help you with?"

Jiang Lingzhou shook his head. "Aunt, I don't need your help for now. You can go sit down in the lobby downstairs and rest for a while."

Yu Tingwan, Wen Shiyan and Marshal Wen looked at each other and walked downstairs.

Since they can't help, they'd better not stay here and cause trouble, so as not to distract Jiang Lingzhou.

Downstairs, Yu Youning had already written several prescriptions and handed them all to Chu Huaixu. "Take them to the door and have them copy them down after seeing them. Don't give them any paper. Not only can people not leave, but not even a blade of grass, a piece of paper, or a pen can leave."

Who knows if these things are also infected with the Golden Plague? What if they spread?
