Chapter 329: The epidemic came from somewhere else?
Gain strength?
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
Li Bushang has been saying that he wants to grow up quickly, to be taller than himself, and to protect himself in the future. Is this his purpose?
But--
He's just a kid.
How could a child have such thoughts?
Just as I was thinking about it, a gentle laugh came from behind me: "No matter what, he has the intention and is willing to put in the effort. Isn't this a good thing?"
When I turned around, I saw Madam Jiahe walking towards me with a smile.
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Young Madam."
Jiahe nodded at her, then looked at Jian Ruojun, who was already sweating profusely from practicing, and took out her snow-white embroidered handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Jian Ruojun also obediently stretched his neck to let her wipe it.
Nan Yan looked at the affectionate couple and couldn't help but feel a little envious, but she still looked away and watched the students take off their chest protectors and walk towards the school.
The little pig is still running around in the garden.
Jian Ruojun suddenly asked, "Where's my second brother?"
Jia He said, "Early in the morning, before daybreak, someone came from the palace and took him away."
"The Emperor called him?"
"yes."
“…”
"He came back so late last night and left again so early this morning. It's as if he doesn't want to be at home anymore."
Jian Ruojun couldn't help but frown.
Nan Yan heard this and turned around and said, "It might be because of the epidemic in the palace."
"Epidemic?"
The couple looked at each other and asked, "What disease?"
It seems that Jian Ruocheng did not tell them about the epidemic in the harem. However, this was a matter of the harem after all, and as a court official, it was not easy for him to publicize it.
Nan Yan simply repeated it.
Jia He said: "No wonder, my uncle said you were sick before, but then he said you were fine."
Nan Yan said, "I'm sorry to have made the young lady worried."
"But what exactly is this disease?"
"I'm not sure about this either."
“…”
"However, I heard that some wooden figures were dug out from the palace. Someone is practicing the art of exorcism in the harem."
"Yan Sheng?"
Jian Ruojun frowned and said, "What a mess."
He was a modest gentleman, so naturally he scoffed at such things. However, Madam Jiahe frowned and said, "No matter what kind of magic it is, an epidemic is still an epidemic, and it must be cured."
"Yes, but I heard that the imperial physicians are still helpless against this epidemic because it is not recorded in medical books."
"oh?"
Madam Jiahe opened her eyes wide: "There is no record of it?"
“…”
"Logically speaking, the medical books stored in the palace must be more abundant than those in the public. If even they haven't seen it, then it means—"
Her voice drew out.
Nan Yan and Jian Ruojun both looked at her: "How is it?"
Madam Jiahe said, "Perhaps, this disease has never appeared before. At least, it has never appeared in my Great Yan Kingdom, so the imperial physicians in the palace knew nothing about this epidemic."
Never appeared in Yan Country?
Could it be that it came from somewhere else?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan's heart tightened.
Before, they all felt that the outbreak of this epidemic was strange. After discovering the art of witchcraft, they all turned their attention to the concubines and palace maids in the harem.
But, if, as Madam Jiahe said, the epidemic came from somewhere else, or from another country...
That would be terrible.
Not to mention the reason behind it, wouldn't it be extremely difficult to cure this disease?
