Chapter 270 Nandun Village

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince, cough cough cough..."

"Your Royal Highness, help, cough cough cough!"

"Your Royal Highness, please save my grandson!"

As soon as Xiao Yue opened the door, she saw the people kneeling on the ground outside.

"What's going on?" The people in the other rooms also got up. They stood at the door together, looking at the people kneeling in the yard.

The people were wearing veils, and only their gender and age could be distinguished.

"Your Highnesses, you can see that we all have the plague, and our children, too, cough as soon as they are exposed to the wind, and they can't stop coughing!"

"We have taken a lot of medicine, not only has it not improved, but it has become worse."

"What medicine are you taking?" Wen Xu asked.

"We all took the medicine prescribed by the doctor for cough. We didn't take anything else. We would boil some winter flowers or dandelion grass at home."

"Yes, we dug dandelion grass at home!"

The people nodded one after another.

"Where did you dig it? Do you have more?" Xiao Yue asked.

"Yes, Princess, but isn't dandelion the best for clearing away heat and detoxifying? Why is it getting worse!"

"Yes, isn't this cough a common symptom? Can't the barefoot doctor in our village easily handle it? But this doesn't work!"

"Where is your village? I'll take people to see it!" Xiao Yue said.

"Princess, our village is in Nandun Village, five miles away from here." The villagers said quickly.

"Heng'er, pack up and go into the city with the Imperial Master first. Doctor Wen, follow me." Xiao Yue turned around and ordered.

"Yes!" Wen Xu nodded, still holding little Xi'er in his arms.

Ci Xin came up and said, "Xi'er, follow us."

"These villagers all show signs of poisoning. You should go into the city with your second cousin first. I and mother will go and take a look, and protect mother by the way!" Baby Ruoxi looked at Ci Xin.

Ci Xin frowned, not very happy.

"After I finish dealing with this, I will go to the city to meet up with you. You protect Heng'er. There are also many plagues in the city, and we need to keep an eye on the water situation at all times, which is not easy." Xiao Yue said.

"Okay, be careful, Nanny Gui, Hongmei, you protect the princess and Xier!" Ci Xin said, glanced at Wen Xu, and said, "You'd better protect yourself and don't hold them back."

"The imperial teacher is so nagging!" Wen Xu said, holding little Xier and turned around and left: "Little princess, you should follow us. I'm worried about leaving her with you." Ci

Xin gritted her teeth, then turned around and led Xiao Yuheng away.

Xiao Yue got on the carriage, and the people got up and followed the carriage towards Nandun Village.

"The princess is here, and the chief doctor in the palace is here!"

"Hurry, our plague is saved!"

Someone ran back, shouting loudly.

"Huh, this plague, isn't it sent down from the court? We, the people, have lived in this mountain all our lives, how can there be a plague? Moreover, this plague is selective, so it is poisoning!" "

That's right, why only the elderly and children are targeted? It's because they don't want to support the elderly, and because the young ones haven't reached the age of coming of age, they don't have to pay taxes, right?"

Some were moved, while others were disappointed.

At first, some people hid in the crowd, but when they saw that only the princess, the imperial physician, and a few guards came, they came out, and their voices were so loud that they drowned out everyone else.

"Annoying!" The big devil never liked noisy and rude people, and she moved her wrist.

"Pah!"

"Wuwuwu..."

The two loudmouths stepped on each other's feet and fell down.

The strange thing was that the two who fell down just covered their mouths and screamed, but could not speak anymore.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Aunt Gui stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Her voice was deep and penetrating, and it carried a sense of coercion, and the people immediately quieted down.

"Everyone says that it was the royal family who poisoned the country. Do you have any evidence? It's just speculation!" Xiao Yue looked at the people and said coldly, "From south to north, the entire Wei Dynasty is not just your Yunzhou. If they want to poison, the entire Wei Dynasty should be poisoned."

"It's just that our Yunzhou has good conditions and the Wei Dynasty is second to none. Maybe..."

"You won't die if you say less, but you may really die if you say more!" Hongmei turned her head and looked at the middle-aged woman and said coldly.

The people shut their mouths one after another.

Compared to dying from the plague later, they still dare not die now because of talking too much.

"Yunzhou plague, strange phenomena have appeared in Yunzhou City. His Majesty the Emperor asked me to investigate this matter thoroughly. Before the conclusion is reached, I don't want to hear any of you criticize the court anymore. Otherwise, you will be executed immediately!" Xiao Yue said.

"Good job, mother, you have to be so powerful, otherwise you can't scare these people!" Baby Ruoxi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to her mother. Xiaoyue

tilted her head slightly, and saw that the baby's small hand held by Wen Xu was indeed giving a thumbs up. Her face was calm and even a little cold, but her heart was already blooming with joy.

How could she not be happy when the lady praised her?

"Princess, please forgive me!" An old man came up, took off his veil, and said while coughing, "We didn't mean to offend, but this plague is really strange. In addition, there have been rumors in the city for a long time, so...we are worried!"

"Take out the medicine residues you usually use and show it to Doctor Wen. Later, find a few people to take us up the mountain." Xiaoyue said.

"Okay, Princess, please!" The old man coughed as he spoke.

"Humph, you did it on purpose!" Baby Ruoxi narrowed her eyes slightly, and she looked at the old man with her eyebrows knitted tightly: "It seems that this Nandun Village is also a bit pessimistic. The plague is likely to have spread from here, and so are the rumors!" Hearing

her daughter's thoughts, Xiaoyue had an idea. She gritted her teeth, then glanced at Hongmei, and then followed the old man to the village.

The village chief's house was a courtyard. Everyone entered the village chief's house and quickly moved out stools, chairs and tables.

The village chief went into the house and came out coughing while carrying a pot of tea.

"You're welcome. Tell me how the plague first broke out. Wenxu, you take the pulse." Xiaoyue said, holding Xiaoxier in her arms, patting her gently, and said, "Let me see the medicine residue!"

Someone came over with the medicine residue and handed it to the old man.

The old man arranged for someone to sit opposite Wenxu to let Wenxu take the pulse, and he took the medicine residue and opened it for the princess to see.
