"Don't be afraid."
Seeing this, Jiang Li comforted him, "I'm not here to cause you any trouble. I want to ask you about the emergency."
After hearing this, Mei Qiuyi finally felt relieved.
"To answer your question, Princess," Mei Qiuyi paused, "this is a strange thing."
"Let's not even mention that so many ladies and daughters from wealthy families are sick at the same time. Just look at my stepmother and step-sister. They normally don't even catch a cold, but for some reason, they've become seriously ill and bedridden for several days."
"The housekeeper asked a doctor to come and see me, but he just said it was a cold. Every day, a special servant would boil medicine and send it to me, but I still haven't gotten better."
She was the legitimate daughter, and her stepmother was sick, so there was no such thing as her taking care of her stepmother.
In addition, the two of them had a cold, and the servants were worried about being infected. Except for the few who served them personally, no one else would go to Handan Courtyard.
"Can you take me to see it?"
It was still unclear just by listening to Mei Qiuyi's words, so Jiang Li thought about it and decided to go and see it in person.
Seeing Mei Qiuyi's surprised look, Jiang Li smiled, "What? Don't you believe in my medical skills?"
Mei Qiuyi waved her hands quickly, "I know, the princess's medical skills are unparalleled."
"But, does the princess really want to go there?"
After all, there are two patients. If the princess gets infected, Mei Qiuyi will feel a chill down her spine. Will the prince come and cause trouble?!
"Don't worry, I'm prepared."
Although epidemic disease is not a poison, detoxification pills are very effective in preventing epidemic disease.
However, just in case, when they arrived at the gate of Handan Courtyard, Jiang Li still asked Bai Zhi and Mo Xiaoxiao to guard outside the courtyard.
She took out a mask from the space and put it on, then put on a veil. After she was ready, she pushed the door open and walked in.
"Xiu'er, who's here?"
The person on the bed had a hoarse voice, and after saying a word, he started coughing uncontrollably.
Xiu'er is Mei Qiuyi's stepmother's personal maid. She has been living in the servants' room in Handan Courtyard for the past few days and has never left the yard.
Perhaps because he had to serve day and night, he looked listless and coughed from time to time.
"To answer Madam, it was the doctor invited by the eldest lady."
Mrs. Mei didn't say anything until she saw Jiang Li. Then she was slightly surprised and said weakly, "She's actually a female doctor."
"Mrs. Mei, I need to examine you. Please cooperate."
After saying that, Jiang Li took out the hand pillow to feel her pulse, and then took out the gold needle and gave her a few injections on the back and head. When she turned sideways, Jiang Li pricked her finger with the gold needle, dipped it with the reagent tablet in the space, and threw it on the system inspection table.
After that, he went to the concubine room and repeated the same operation on Mei Qiuyi's concubine sister.
Before leaving, Jiang Li called Xiu'er over again. She learned that besides her, another maid on duty also had some signs of a cold, so she asked Xiu'er to call them over. Jiang Li also examined them, which moved the two maids very much.
"How about it?"
Mei Qiuyi, who had been waiting outside the yard, saw Jiang Li finally come out and hurried to greet him.
Jiang Li shook her head. "It does look like a cold, but it's a bit more severe than a normal cold."
The system's test results haven't come out yet, so Jiang Li doesn't dare to make a judgment easily.
"Well, first, have someone in the mansion buy some mugwort and burn it. It can help with the hernia. Also, try to limit contact between people and Handan Courtyard. As for the rest, wait for my news."
Ever since Jiang Li rescued her from the city, she had an inexplicable sense of dependence on Jiang Li.
Naturally, she would listen to whatever Jiang Li said.
After Jiang Li returned to the inn, Gu Qingchen came back soon after.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Jiang Li knew that the situation was more difficult than she had imagined.
"Just as you guessed," Gu Qingchen took a sip of hot tea to calm himself down and said, "As expected, after the Spring Gathering, these ladies fell ill."
Jiang Li's face looked even uglier now. The test results came out, and it turned out not to be a simple cold.
"You mean, this disease has a long incubation period and the symptoms are similar to those of a cold, but the damage it causes to the human body is far greater than that of a cold."
Jiang Li nodded. "To be precise, if we treat it as a cold, it will only lead to death. Once the disease occurs, it will spread to those around you. After the incubation period, those around you will also get sick again and spread it to others... According to folk sayings, you can also call it an epidemic."
After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
epidemic.
Everyone's subconscious reaction is that many people will die.
"While the second batch is still in the incubation period, Your Highness must contact the government office to quickly gather all the patients for treatment. As for the others, they must be isolated to prevent further infection."
After systematic testing, it is found that the virus of this epidemic is more likely to be man-made.
Jiang Li reminded him again: "Also, the prince needs to quickly investigate the people related to the Qinzhou Spring Elegant Gathering. Maybe we can find the mastermind behind it."
Gu Qingchen looked at Jiang Li deeply, knowing that it was impossible to persuade her to go back at this time, so he only said, "Until the matter is resolved, I will stay in Qinzhou."
"I won't leave either."
"I won't leave either."
The other four people looked at Jiang Li's eyes and said hurriedly.
"Yes, a whole family, all together."
Jiang Li shrugged, not bothering to persuade them anymore. "Alright, stay here. We really need help right now. Remember, be careful when interacting with others. Detoxification pills..."
Jiang Li searched around in the space for a few rounds, but only a few bottles were left.
