Chapter 655 Missing My Brother
The owner of Liu's Roast Duck King was originally a wealthy businessman, otherwise he would not have been able to open such a large restaurant in such a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
Two people in their family were infected with malaria, and several others were said to be infected but not yet sick. When the lucky few who were not infected returned home, they were so scared that their legs went limp when they heard that the plague had spread from their own duck farm.
Wei Fengting detained them temporarily and would report and deal with them after he was done.
By the time Xinbao and the others came out, notices had already been posted on every street and alley.
Firstly, it is to explain the matter so that everyone can clean up the stagnant water and repel mosquitoes; secondly, it is to explain the symptoms clearly. If someone has not discovered the disease now but develops it in the future, and the symptoms match those of the patient, they can go to the clinic to have their pulse checked and receive free pills to treat the disease. Family members and neighbors can also go with them.
It also states that if anyone has come into contact with these people and is worried that they have been infected, they can go to the clinic before 10 a.m. every day, and the little princess who is a miracle doctor will come out to check on them at 10 a.m.
For this purpose, he specially booked the inn not far behind Xuanhu to provide these people with a temporary rest.
Of course, since most people were illiterate, in addition to the notices, officers and soldiers also went door to door preaching.
A night passed in a busy and bustling atmosphere.
Early in the morning, Gan Baibi, on behalf of the Medical Department, brought the imperial doctors to visit the patients.
When we arrived, everyone was talking and communicating with each other.
This cinchona cream... is now named Anti-malarial Pill by Xinbao. Isn't this medicine too effective? It's so painful when the disease attacks, but after taking the medicine, it recovers almost overnight. She is worthy of being called the little princess of miracle medicine! ! The doctors checked the records and removed the patients with mild symptoms who only needed to take one pill. Then they asked questions and recorded the details. Xue Xuanji was also recording beside them.
But these people will not be released immediately. They will still be observed here for another two days before they can leave.
For Emperor Mingpei, the situation had been brought under control and thus resolved, but for Xinbao, every moment was filled with the possibility of something happening...
Tuanzi was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep well. He got up early every day and was specially allowed to enter the imperial study. He sat next to Emperor Mingpei and watched him handle state affairs with his big eyes.
In the meantime, I would also go to the doctor to see the patients.
In fact, most of the people who come here are fine, but everyone always feels uneasy. It doesn’t cost any money anyway, so why not come...so a lot of people come.
Tuanzi was already nervous, and with so many people coming, he became even more nervous. After watching, he went back and continued to stare at Yeye.
Tuanzi's heart was filled with this matter, but all the things that Yeye dealt with had nothing to do with this matter, which made Tuanzi very worried.
Emperor Mingpei saw this and felt both distressed and amused. When he finished his work and was about to coax his granddaughter, he heard someone report that the commander of the Longxiong Guard wanted to see him.
Xinbao was distracted and only thought it was Wei Fengting when he heard half of it. He smiled before the man even came in.
The man who came in turned out to be someone I didn't recognize, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a resolute face.
Tuanzi uttered "hmm" and stared at him.
The man bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have completed our inspection of the outer city of the capital. We have found two more places similar to the Nanxunfang Duck Garden, located in..."
The man's voice was as deep as a bell, and although his speech speed was not slow, it gave people a very steady feeling.
Xinbao thinks that he is very much like his older brother, not in appearance, but in that "elder brother" feeling that is very similar. When his older brother grows up, he will surely be as calm, majestic, and handsome.
She looked at him blankly.
The man's voice was calm, but he noticed something and couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly to look at Tuanzi, and saw Tuanzi staring at him with big eyes without blinking.
Emperor Mingpei also noticed it, turned to look at his granddaughter, then picked her up and said, "Don't you know him? He is the leader of the Dragon Guard."
Xinbao asked: "Isn't it Wei Fengting?"
Emperor Mingpei explained with a smile: "Wei Fengting is his deputy. He is the commander, and Wei Fengting is the deputy commander..."
The man then bowed and saluted again: "I am Xiang Xiaodong, paying my respects to Your Highness."
Xinbao whispered, "No need to be polite."
She turned her head and hid her face in Ye Ye's arms.
Emperor Mingpei had no idea what his granddaughter was doing. He rubbed her little head to comfort her and said, "There's no need to kill the Liu family. Just confiscate 80% of their property and send them out of the capital. Use a portion of this property to compensate the sick, and give the rest to the Medical Department."
Xiang Xiaodong responded, and when he saw that the emperor had no other instructions, he was about to leave. When everyone was almost at the door, Tuanzi suddenly said, "Wait, wait a moment."
Xiang Xiaodong was puzzled and responded. Xinbao rolled his eyes and said, "Stretch out your hand."
Xiang Xiaodong was a little surprised, thinking, is this to take his pulse? ? Is he sick?
As he obediently stretched out his hand, Tuanzi stretched out his little hand and gestured: "Put your palm down and bend it slightly."
Xiang Xiaodong: “……???”
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Emperor Mingpei didn't know what his granddaughter was going to do, but he didn't stop her. He just watched quietly.
Although Xiang Xiaodong didn't understand, he still did it. Then the little princess said, "Close your eyes."
Xiang Xiaodong: “……???”
He closed his eyes silently.
Then I heard cautious footsteps coming towards me. I didn't know what they did, but they tiptoed back.
Then Tuanzi said seriously: "Hands a little lower, half a foot lower."
He silently put his hand down, and then the footsteps came slowly again. Then, a furry little head rubbed against the palm of his hand, as if particularly affectionate, rubbed it several times, and then paused for a while before tiptoeing back.
Tuanzi coughed and said, "It's okay, nothing happened, you can go."
When Xiang Xiaodong opened his eyes, he saw Tuanzi standing in Emperor Mingpei's arms, holding the imperial desk with both hands. She seemed a little happy and looked at him with her big eyes.
He couldn't help but smile, but quickly restrained himself and walked out.
Just as I turned around, I heard Tuanzi inside say, "Yeah, Xinbao misses big brother! Missing brother!"
Xiang Xiaodong paused, feeling it was so warm and lovely. He smiled, shook his head, and walked away quickly.
Inside, Emperor Mingpei was very happy to have something else to distract Tuanzi, so he said, "Let him come back during the New Year."
Xinbao asked: "Is it okay?"
"Sure," Emperor Mingpei said, "This place is very close to the border, and since we are the descendants of the emperor, there is no need for us to be like others. Why not come back for the New Year?"
Tuanzi was very happy: "Then Xinbao should write a letter and ask!"
She thought of something and immediately asked someone to send her pen and ink to write a letter.
When Madam Lin heard about it, she immediately asked someone to prepare some food and send it over.
