Chapter 37 Plague Outbreak
"Although we have blocked the news from Shujing Palace, we said that the Yang family is fine and Madam Yang was only stripped of her imperial title."
"But Concubine Shu didn't believe it and insisted on seeing Madam Yang or she would go on a hunger strike."
Bei Jingchu blew bubbles and complained: [Is your IQ online now? 】
[Knowing that he would end up in a terrible situation if he was discovered, why weren't you afraid when you poisoned me? 】
The emperor rubbed his brows and said, "If she doesn't want to eat, force her to drink it. If she can't drink it, let her do as she pleases."
The fact that Concubine Shu was willing to poison the princess for the baby in her belly shows how much she values this fetus.
This was her and the Yang family's hope for future prosperity and wealth, as long as the news of the Yang family's demise did not reach her ears.
No matter how suspicious Concubine Shu was, she didn't dare to do anything to the child.
Thinking of this, the emperor added: "Tell Concubine Shu that if anything happens to the heir, I will exterminate her entire clan."
[As expected of a tyrant, the three tribes were implicated for no reason and without any cause.]
【The evil feudal society. 】
The tyrant himself ignored her complaints. Each dynasty has its own rules.
The royal heirs and concubines all belong to the emperor and are his appendages, not themselves.
Harming the royal heirs and causing concubines to commit suicide should have brought disaster to their families.
He was pleased with his daughter's kindness, but such kindness should not be excessive.
Within a few days, heavy rain fell from the sky.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, the sky was covered with a layer of gray, as if foreshadowing the disaster to come.
The emperor was frightened, but fortunately he listened to the young man's prediction and took emergency flood prevention measures in advance.
Due to the bad weather, most people stayed indoors, but there were always some people working in the heavy rain.
No one expected the rainstorm to come.
Xu Xinshu anxiously moved all the plants she was studying into the house. After she finally finished moving them, the plants had already accumulated water and their roots had rotted.
All her efforts were wasted. The palace maid who lived next to her felt annoyed when she saw her busy moving things up and down, and the rain soaking her body made the floor wet.
"Why save her? She's already dead. You said His Majesty appointed you as a fifth-rank court lady because he saw your talent."
"I've been busy these days, but I haven't come up with anything."
"On the contrary, it made the ground wet and caused us trouble."
The female official had long been dissatisfied.
She had worked in the palace for more than 20 years and waited for countless opportunities before she got this position.
Suddenly, a little girl was parachuted in to be on her level. She didn't have to do any work all day and just studied those crappy plants.
A piece of land was cleared in a nice yard and it was said to be an experimental field.
The palace was made to look like a farmer's vegetable garden, with the stench of fertilizers filling the air.
It's not like nothing has been accomplished yet.
"If you don't have the ability, don't act so pretentious and just try to cause trouble for me."
Xu Xinshu looked at the destroyed seedlings in dismay and suddenly had the idea of giving up.
Should she just stay in the inner chamber and not be a person of value?
But the princess said she was a genius and she could make sure the people of Yue Dynasty had enough food to eat...
Yes, the princess said, she is a genius, she can do it.
If you fail this time, there is always next time. Success never comes overnight.
If she doesn't believe in herself, how can she not believe in the princess?
At the same time, life in the cold palace became unbearable because of the heavy rain.
Due to years of disrepair, rainwater leaked from the roof, soaking the entire floor and walls.
The bed and bedding were wet.
Waves of cold air seeped into his bones, and Qi stared ahead with empty eyes.
After coughing twice, she suddenly clutched the quilt tightly, imagining the quilt to be Bei Jingchu.
I wish I could crush her to death.
It’s all because of this bastard. If she hadn’t been born, she would still be Concubine Ying, sleeping leisurely in her palace listening to the rain.
How could I suffer and freeze in the cold palace?
It's all her!
It's all her!
It’s all this little beast’s fault.
After several days of heavy rain, there were some losses, but due to emergency precautions, the damage was not as serious as the young man had predicted.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, this was a blessing in disguise.
He asked Imperial Physician Shen to wait in the western suburbs and to stop any signs of an epidemic immediately.
In order to make it less awkward for Doctor Shen to go to the western suburbs, he sent half of the doctors in the Medical Bureau to other places for prevention.
Imperial physicians originally treated noble ladies in the palace, and those who were less capable also treated palace maids.
They are all pampered and well-off.
This time they were sent to remote villages to treat ordinary people, claiming it was to prevent and control the epidemic.
Everyone complained.
I didn't dare say it in front of the emperor, but I couldn't help complaining in private.
We can only know about an epidemic after it breaks out. Who can predict that someone will get the plague before anyone gets sick?
Your Majesty, aren't you just looking for trouble?
But since the emperor had given the order, everyone had no choice but to go.
They were slacking off and not thinking about what was going on.
Until the eastern suburbs, when an imperial physician was impatiently dispensing medicine, a man fell to the ground.
He stepped forward and looked
--plague.
The imperial physician immediately put on the face mask and other protective gear that he had prepared long ago but was too lazy to wear.
Tell the guards to control the crowd and report to His Majesty.
After finishing all this, he turned around and looked at the medicinal materials that had been prepared behind him.
His knees went weak and he kowtowed in the direction of Tai Chi Palace.
Shouting: "Your Majesty is wise!"
When the news reached Yu's study, Bei Jingchu was shocked.
[Ahhh? Didn't they say the plague broke out in the western suburbs? Why is it in the eastern suburbs? ]
The emperor thought it was because the prevention and control in the western suburbs was good this time.
At that time, there was no problem even though the deadline the young man had promised had passed, so the emperor thought he had gotten away with it.
I didn't expect it to come.
Bei Jingchu called out the system: [Tong, your information is inaccurate. I will give you a bad review.]
System explanation: [Dear, this is just the original plot, but your arrival will cause a butterfly effect~]
[It is normal to have changes. The information about the original work can only be used as a reference and cannot be completely relied upon.]
Bei Jingchu: [I am just a baby who only knows how to drink milk. How can I cause a butterfly effect?]
System: [Dear, you have to believe in yourself.]
[A butterfly flapping its wings across the Atlantic Ocean may cause a tornado.]
[And you, my host. You are not an ordinary butterfly, you are a great butterfly moth.]
Bei Jingchu: …
The emperor urgently summoned Doctor Shen to the eastern suburbs to seal the city gates and transport supplies.
Bei Jingchu recalled this plot: [Originally, Doctor Shen was a poor, low-level person who was ignored in the Imperial Hospital, so even though he developed a prescription, he could not find a chance to present it to the emperor.]
[He really is so good. I cried my heart out. He didn’t even try to take credit for it. He just took out the prescription.]
[But he was not qualified enough, and no one believed him. He was delayed for a long time, and the disease was rampant. The capital and the palace were filled with corpses being transported out.]
