The head of the hospital once again issued a stern warning.
"If you don't want to die, shut up and do your thing."
The young doctor collapsed.
"Two people in my family have already died. What else should I be afraid of? Master, don't you think this plague is a little strange?"
The dean was silent.
"We are powerless and have little influence. What can we achieve? Any action we take would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
Besides, even though there are some strange things about this plague, that's just our speculation. Don't make random comments without evidence."
After saying that, he turned away.
The young doctor thought blankly for a long time, but finally wiped away his tears and devoted himself to his work.
It was not for any other reason, but because his grandfather left a last will and condition before he died, telling him not to return home until the plague was eradicated.
A mountain forest in the southern part of Beiyue.
Nangong Jiu and a few others walked and stopped, treating people infected with the plague along the way.
It's time to light the lamps.
The group stopped in a forest.
"It's getting dark. Let's stay here tonight and move on during the day tomorrow."
Xiao Wang and his companions agreed and worked together to set up tents and prepare food.
Nangong Jiu contacted Emperor Dongling, told him about the current situation, ate something casually, and went to bed.
Looking at the sleeping little man, Taoist Qingchen and Master Huiyuan looked at each other and then injected their spiritual power into Nangong Jiu's body.
After a long time, the two stopped.
Taoist Qingchen looked at the others and said, "We can't be of much help on this trip. Our main task is to protect and take good care of Jiujun.
Judging from the situation of healing the people today, the spiritual energy consumed is too much, and her small body can hardly bear it.
Let's take turns inputting spiritual power into her.
If she can save more people, it means we are saving more people as well."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This night.
Nangong Jiu slept until the second half of the night, but suddenly sat up.
Taoist Qingchen patted her back gently: "Jiujun, are you dreaming?"
"Well, I dreamed about the plague I experienced during my travels. By the time I discovered the plague, it was too late!
The catastrophe was horrific, with seven or eight out of ten civilians killed...
This plague now is very similar to that plague.
To be more precise, it is not a plague, but a plague-like poison. If it is not dealt with in time, it is bound to repeat the same mistakes."
Qingchen comforted softly.
"Don't worry, Lord Jiu. We have already treated the people of two cities yesterday. At this rate, the plague will be under control soon."
"But the problem is, where is the source of the disease? We have no idea. Even if we cure it, there is a possibility of recurrence."
Qingchen reminded him, "Jiujun, why don't you think carefully about who caused the plague in the past? Is there any connection?"
Nangong Jiu nodded and fell into reminiscence.
I remember the plague in the past. It recurred and lasted for more than a month. In the end, I used a trick to lure the instigator out.
What was that man's name, Yang? It's been so long I can't remember.
Could it be that this plague was caused by his descendants? But this happened at least three to five hundred years ago, so it can't be such a coincidence, right?
At that time, he said that he was dissatisfied with the rulers' tyranny and that if he could not survive, then no one would be able to survive.
Tyrannical rulers?
etc.
The plague started in the capital. Could it be related to Zhao Zhengxiong?
That's not right either.
Zhao Zhengxiong is usually quite diligent and caring about his people. The biggest stain in his life is probably the Beisha League incident.
Could this be related to the Northern Demon Alliance? Was it revenge from the Northern Demon Alliance survivors?
Nangong Jiu felt like he had discovered the truth, and excitedly said to Taoist Qingchen, "Qingchen, do you think it's possible that our 'old friend' did this?"
"Jiujun means that the plague is related to the Northern Evil Alliance?"
Taoist Qingchen thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "That's really possible!"
Nangong Jiu took a deep breath and said, "Go to sleep. There are still many things to do in the morning."
Taoist Qingchen watched Nangong Jiu lie down, and only when he heard her shallow breathing did he sigh and lie down to rest.
Perhaps he had something on his mind, as Nangong Jiu woke up as soon as the sky was slightly bright.
Sitting there in confusion and bewilderment.
Wuwang helped her wash up, and Taoist Qingchen brought her the bird's nest porridge specially cooked for her and fed it into her mouth spoon by spoon.
While drinking the porridge, my consciousness gradually returned and I figured out where I was.
He took the bowl of porridge with both hands and said, “I’ll eat it myself, you guys should also fill your stomachs quickly, pack up and set off to the next city.
We will try to reach the capital of Beiyue tonight, perhaps we can find the answer there."
Dongling Imperial Study.
Emperor Dongling summoned several ministers, including Nangong Honglie and his son, Minister of Revenue Zeng Mingshu, and Chief Physician of the Imperial Hospital Hongyu, to urgently discuss the prevention and control of the plague.
"Dean Fu, what are your thoughts on the plague?"
“I think we should prepare some medicinal herbs first, just in case. It will be too late to prepare them once problems arise.
Secondly, the prescription for treating the plague should be urgently sent to the border so that our soldiers can drink it as a preventive measure.
The north is bitterly cold, and some herbs can be taken to ward off colds."
Emperor Dong Ling nodded in agreement: "Well, you are very thoughtful. Just prepare the prescription according to the symptoms described by the princess.
As for the medicinal herbs, Master Zeng, please prepare a batch according to the prescription and send it to the border as soon as possible."
The two people who were named nodded heavily.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. This is a matter of great importance. We will prepare as soon as possible!"
"Okay, get busy!"
When only Nangong Honglie and his son were left in the imperial study, Emperor Dongling sighed.
"Jiu'er said that this plague is very dangerous and has already killed many people. Let's take precautions and try to keep the plague out of the country."
Nangong Honglie said worriedly: "Jiu'er is still so young..."
"She said that plague and the like can't get close to her."
"That's good, at least we can feel a little more at ease! Xue'er is about to give birth, and nothing can go wrong."
Emperor Dongling nodded: "The Queen said that she would send a few experienced maids to take care of the confinement period.
Now that there is another pregnant woman in your house, there should be more people to serve her and take better care of her."
Nangong Yunsheng stood up and thanked him: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Dong Ling waved his hands cheerfully: "What are you thanking me for? I am just helping Jiu Er to solve her worries so that she can work peacefully outside.
She also told me that she had a younger sister, and she sounded very happy.
Nangong Yunsheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I promise to take good care of my family and not hold Jiuer back."
Emperor Dong Ling took over the conversation: "Taking good care of your family and not holding her back is not just your responsibility, we all have a responsibility."
Nangong Honglie changed the subject: "Your Majesty, after this epidemic, the national strength of Beiyue Kingdom will be severely damaged. I, Zhao Beixiong, no longer have the energy to cause trouble."
“Yes, even if the plague is brought under control, it will take some time to recover.
According to Jiuer, this plague originated in Beiyue Capital, which is very strange."
Nangong Yunsheng reacted quickly.
"Could this plague be related to Zhao Zhengxiong?"
