[Chapter 154 Chapter 154 Becoming a Popular Person after Divorce (31)]
Han Sheng was pushed down onto the couch by the force she exerted on him. He subconsciously held onto her slender waist, fearing that she might accidentally slip down.
Yan Qing sat astride his arms and watched him with his eyes open as he struggled to breathe.
Last time at the General's Mansion, she lied to him that someone from her mother's family was eavesdropping outside the door, and she nearly kissed him until he fainted.
The gentleman, who knew nothing about love affairs, could only instinctively hold the sweet tongue that entered his mouth and suck it gently.
"Husband, breathe." She reached her small hand into the white collar of his shirt in an unruly manner, teasing him wantonly.
Han Sheng's fair and handsome face was flushed, his long, curled eyelashes trembled with shyness, and his thin body was as tense as a string.
It took him a long time to regain consciousness from the chaos. He opened his eyelids and saw a thin layer of mist in his dark pupils, as if he had just woken up and was dull.
Grabbing the hand of the person in his arms that was making trouble on his chest, he blushed and panted, "Madam, you can't do that. You can't commit adultery in broad daylight."
Yan Qing lowered her waist and swayed like a flower branch, her red lips brushing his cheek: "Okay, if we don't announce it during the day, we will announce it at night."
Han Sheng was shocked, his cheeks burning with fear at her bold and straightforward words.
Of course, the burning doesn't stop at the cheeks.
Watching him run away, Yan Qing lay on the couch and giggled.
She put away her smile and looked calm.
Those people wanted to find a scapegoat, but she would not be able to do as they wished.
The next day, Han Sheng, who received the investigation results, was furious in the court, and several local officials kneeling below pretended to be trembling with fear.
"Nonsense! You are simply treating the plague as a joke! This is a serious matter, why don't you report it?!"
His handsome face turned cold, his voice was as frosty, and as he glanced at everyone with cold eyes, he casually threw the paperweight on the table down.
"The spread of the plague was only discovered recently, and my report has not yet reached the emperor." The prefect put his hands on the ground, knocked his head on the back of his hands, and a dark light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He continued, "I have isolated the epidemic area in time, and there is no food left in the warehouse. I have no choice but to give up the epidemic."
"It's really helpless, it's really helpless!" Han Sheng slammed the table and stood up, "Thousands of lives, how can we just ignore it because of helplessness!"
He immediately gave orders to set up a porridge stall at Peacock Feather to ensure that the epidemic patients would not be deprived of water and food.
Several urban areas in Pingnan have been suffering from drought for years, and this year's drought is particularly severe, with no grain production and no harvest for the people.
Solving the plague problem is the top priority, and finding groundwater sources is also urgent.
Han Sheng was extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the room.
"Husband." Yan Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, "Doctor Hu and others are already researching the prescription, and they will surely achieve some results."
Han Sheng has been worrying about people's livelihood recently, and blisters have appeared on the corners of his mouth: "Thank you, Madam, for running around the pharmacy."
Yan Qingdao said that when he was in the general's mansion, he studied under the palace physician and learned pharmacology for several years. He then often went to the pharmacy to study with Doctor Hu and others.
Several old doctors acted arrogantly and looked down on her as a woman who was always in the spotlight.
Later, I was impressed by her knowledge of pharmacology.
In order to save the victims, they put aside their prejudices and accepted her.
She shook her head slowly: "This is what I should do."
Han Sheng thought for a moment and said, "The water source in the city has dried up. It is not a long-term solution to transport water from other cities. I want to take people deep into the mountains to find hidden springs."
Arrangements have also been made to deliver water and food to the epidemic area, and now we are just waiting for good news from Doctor Hu.
He didn't understand medicine, so it would be useless for him to stay in the mansion.
"Please take care of the pharmacy. Madam, please remember not to go deep into the epidemic area and protect yourself."
He frowned and gave instructions in a gentle voice.
Yan Qing nodded and threw herself into his arms: "There must be ferocious beasts protecting the deep forest and dark springs. This trip is also full of dangers. As a wife, I don't want my husband to go."
"But standing on the side of the millions of disaster victims, I can't say anything to dissuade them." She raised her head and sighed, "Husband, don't worry, I'll take care of the epidemic area."
Han Sheng hugged her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
A few days later, before any news came back from the people led by Han Sheng who were looking for the dark spring, Doctor Hu, who had gone to the epidemic area with a kind heart, fell down first.
For a time, people in the city were in panic.
However, Yan Qing chose to enter the epidemic area at this time.
"Madam Prime Minister, this is absolutely not allowed." The prefect and others tried to dissuade her.
She wore a hood and a cotton face cloth covered her mouth and nose to prevent infection.
Without even looking at the governor, she said coldly, "How can you observe, smell, ask, feel, and diagnose patients without any contact with them?"
"If anything happens to you, how can we explain to Lord Zuo Xiang?" an official said.
She pushed away the person who was blocking her: "Don't worry, I will bear the consequences myself."
After she entered the epidemic area, the officials who remained there looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of them observed the situation and asked in a low voice, "Will it ruin our plan?"
"What can a woman find out?" Another person sneered, "She is not at home taking care of her husband and children, but is out in the open. It is really unfortunate for the Zuo Xiang family to marry such a wife."
Governor Xie stroked his beard and smiled cunningly: "Spread the news and say that the court has decided to abandon them, so they sent a female doctor with poor training to pretend."
"Your Excellency wants to--" The official who spoke first made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Governor Xie narrowed his eyes and said, "The left prime minister was killed by beasts, and his wife died in a riot."
"That's great. If all these poor people die, we can sell the supplies to the rich people in the city at a high price."
Several people laughed together, but when they remembered that the epidemic area was not far ahead, they pretended to put away their smug expressions.
But they never expected that Yan Qing's actions would catch them off guard.
Yan Qing stepped inside and looked around, only to see that everyone was staying in a simply built straw hut without even a straw mat to sleep on.
Three or five people gathered together, all in tattered clothes and with empty eyes.
Doctor Hu's illness had obviously dealt them a heavy blow, so even when they saw someone coming in, they couldn't muster any energy.
Afraid of facing the despair of falling hopes again.
She walked along the path left in the middle, her heart sinking little by little.
Just by looking at the fabrics of the clothes these people are wearing, you can tell that they are all lower-class people.
From the beginning to the end, I didn’t see a single person in rich clothes!
Does something like plague depend on wealth?
But it was too one-sided to judge based on clothing alone, so she suppressed the coldness in her heart and continued forward.
"Beautiful lady!" Lian Qiao's eyes lit up when he saw her.
It was previously discovered that the little girl was taken to an epidemic area. She wanted to rescue her, but was obstructed by the prefect on the grounds that he did not know whether she was infected with the disease.
So I had to ask the person distributing porridge at the door to take more care of it.
Now that she saw the little girl jumping around and not looking weak, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lian Qiao thought that she had stayed in the epidemic area for a long time and was afraid that she would be infected with the disease and pass it on to her, so she stopped her cheerful steps and stood a few meters away from her.
Yan Qing took the initiative to walk towards her and touched her head: "Take me to see your grandma."
Her body was originally a replica created by Xiao Ba. After training in the first two planes, her physique was beyond that of ordinary people and she would not get sick easily.
What's more, she found that these people did not seem to be suffering from the epidemic.
It's more like some kind of confusing poison.
