Ji Xingzhi was obviously not in the mood to care about the palace maids' inner thoughts, and of course had no way of knowing.
After court was dismissed, Ji Xingzhi went to the study, sat in front of the desk, rubbed her sore eyes, and leaned back tiredly on the chair. She had read many medical books last night and had thought of several prescriptions for the epidemic. Now she was just waiting for news from Zhou Zheng to prescribe the right medicine.
Ji Xingzhi felt that the Qucheng epidemic alone was enough to worry her, but she didn't expect that even more worrying things would follow in the next half month.
"Your Majesty, according to spies, Xuezhou has been experiencing torrential rain for a month, causing icebergs to melt and snow mountains to collapse, resulting in heavy casualties!"
"Your Majesty, Huazhou hasn't had a drop of water in over a month. Many places have run out of drinking water. The people of Huazhou are fleeing to Shuizhou!"
"Your Majesty, there was an earthquake in Yuzhou, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and countless people were killed and injured!"
"Your Majesty, a plague has broken out in Qucheng. The entire city has become a dead city. Lord He of Qucheng requests that the city be burned down!"
"Your Majesty, the General of Yuzhou District, and the Yuzhou army are attempting to enter the Eastern Territory, but have been stopped by Prince Zhenyuan. The Prince is inquiring whether to allow them to pass."
Ji Xingzhi: “…”
Ji Xingzhi was shocked when she heard the news. What was going on? An earthquake in Yuzhou, a flood in Xuezhou, a drought in Huazhou, an epidemic in Lizhou...except for Shuizhou, none of the four states were unscathed. It looked like a natural disaster, but this disaster had come too quickly and unexpectedly, catching everyone off guard!
Almost all suspicions point to Shuizhou. Why did other states and countries get into trouble, but Shuizhou was not?
Shuizhou remained silent about this undisguised suspicion, and it was unclear whether he was unwilling to speak out or acquiesced.
It has been a month since Ji Xingzhi learned the news. In response to these sudden disasters, the four states tacitly formed something like a food chain.
Both the Lizhou epidemic and the Yuzhou earthquake required medicine, and Huazhou sent people to deliver medicine to both countries, including many rare medicines.
When Huazhou suffered from drought, Yuzhou sent water to Huazhou.
Xuezhou was short of some waterproof items, and Lizhou came to the rescue.
Selangor basically did not contribute anything because the continuous heavy rain made it difficult for them to move. They had to be careful when walking on the road because the ice under their feet might suddenly crack, and even when sleeping, they were worried that their houses would be crushed by suddenly collapsed icebergs.
The luckiest among them is Lizhou. Wu Fang and Su Cheng brought the iron tree flowers and leaves, and the epidemic has been brought under control. Fortunately, the epidemic has not spread to the surrounding areas. Once it spreads, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire Lizhou will be finished.
Thanks to the fire set by Lord He, all the bodies of those who died of the plague were burned, and their belongings were thrown into the fire. Those infected with the plague were isolated, those who were infected were kept inside the city, and those who were not infected were placed in tents outside the city.
Zhou Zheng has already led his troops to provide relief with supplies, and also brought the prescription developed by Ji Xingzhi. He believes that the epidemic will disappear completely soon.
The person in the palace has been cured by Imperial Physician Li and should be on his way back to Qucheng now.
As for the request from the general of Yuzhou District to borrow his way, Ji Xingzhi refused without even thinking about it.
Ji Xingzhi really didn't understand what General Qu wanted to do by allowing a general from another country to lead a large army to cross Lizhou openly and attack Shuizhou from Lizhou City without even saying hello. If someone didn't know, they would think that Yuzhou wanted to attack Lizhou.
Ji Xingzhi was actually worried about this. She wasn't familiar with Yu Ya, so she had a good impression of him. But she had never heard of General Qu. What if General Qu turned against Lizhou and attacked the city directly while passing through? Lizhou wouldn't be able to fight back.
