The doctors followed the people to treat patients.
Hua Fushu took out a few face towels and covered the faces of Qin Youran, Mu Qing, and Guan Yu. She also put one on herself. "I saw the notice from the City Patrol and signed up. Doctor Li was the first to sign up. I have an idea of how many people are infected here."
Qin Youran tied her headband on. "This is the worst hit area. A conservative estimate is that 600 people have been infected, and all the known deaths are in Taipingfang."
Hua Fushu frowned. "Is it that serious? It's no less serious than the plague in Yiling."
Qin Youran sighed, "It's really serious."
Hua Fushu asked, "Are there enough medicinal herbs?"
"We still have some medicinal herbs," Qin Youran said. "The number of patients is still increasing, so the herbs we have are definitely not enough. I've asked people to buy medicine at pharmacies and clinics. I hope we can buy enough herbs."
Hua Fushu said, "If you need my help, please let me know. I haven't used the identity of Young Master Lanling many times."
"If I need your help, I'll tell you." Qin Youran instructed Hua Fushu, "Be careful."
Hua Fushu nodded and went to treat the patient.
Qin Youran called Guan Yu and said, "Guan Yu, follow Hua'er."
Guan Yu pointed at Nanxing with his feather fan, "Your Highness, there's no need for that. He's the most loyal and protective of the four masters among those four herbs. He said he can disobey the Sect Master's words, but he will definitely listen to the Young Master's. Nanxing can't wait to follow Miss Fushu all the time. He will take good care of Miss Fushu, her master. It's easier for Miss Fushu to order Nanxing around than to order me around."
Qin Youran said, "You'd better serve me."
Kong family private school.
Master Kong was lecturing when a servant hurried into the private school and interrupted him. "Master, a plague has broken out in the capital. The King of Qin has sealed off Taipingfang, Chengning Street, Changping Lane, Fuchang Street, and other areas. The area where our mansion is located is also being sealed off."
The students were in an uproar.
Mr. Kong was as steady as a rock, and he scolded his servant, "You are so impetuous and unruly!"
The servant lowered his head in shame, and the students finally quieted down.
Ling Zhiheng stood up and left the long table. He walked to the side of Mr. Kong and said with a playful smile, "Master, Heng'er can't go home and has nowhere to go. Would you mind staying at your house?"
Mr. Kong raised the scroll in his hand and said, "Go back and sit down."
Ling Zhiheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Master. I will go back and sit down and listen to your teachings."
He quickly returned to his seat, sat upright, and looked even more serious than usual.
Mr. Kong glanced at Ling Zhiheng, who seemed to be listening in a decent manner.
Glancing at the students in the room, Mr. Kong said, "Don't go out and make trouble. I won't let you live on the streets."
The students all stood up and bowed, "Yes."
After sitting down, Lu Sanlang glanced out the window, then stood up and said, "Sir, I want to go home."
Mr. Kong raised his eyelids and asked, "Why do you want to go back?"
Lu Sanlang hesitated for a moment, "...My student has an emergency at home."
Ling Zhiheng interrupted, "Lu San, what's the urgent matter? Isn't it just that your wife is pregnant? Your wife is already three or four months pregnant, and the baby is already well. How can you go back and bring the plague over there? The King of Qin is your brother-in-law after all, how can you have the nerve to cause trouble for him? Look at Yu Shi, he also has a wife, so why would he go back?"
Lu Sanlang blushed with shame.
Mr. Kong said quietly, "Ling Zhiheng."
Receiving Mr. Kong's gaze, Ling Zhiheng smiled awkwardly, "I heard it from someone."
"You're the only one who talks too much." Mr. Kong seemed to be quite disgusted with Ling Zhiheng's mouth.
Ling Zhiheng frankly passed the buck, "It's none of my business. I don't have the energy to inquire about the affairs of the women in the inner courtyard. It was Ye Yushi's little follower Si De who told me."
Mr. Kong and Lu Sanlang both cast puzzled glances at Ye Zelin.
Ye Zelin felt inexplicably uncomfortable, thinking back to when Hua Fushu came to pick him up from the private school. He said, "Maybe it was because my wife and Side came to pick me up from the private school last time and ran into the Third Lady of the Lu Family. I overheard what she said."
Both Mr. Kong and Lu Sanlang believed this explanation.
The news of the blockade of the Kong family's private school also reached the general's mansion. Madam Ouyang was born in the family of the head of the Imperial Hospital, so she naturally knew how serious the epidemic was. Some epidemics were highly contagious and had a high mortality rate, such as smallpox.
The imperial court ordered the blockade of the epidemic area, which must be because the outbreak was very serious. She was worried about her son, and although she wanted Ye Shiheng to bring Ye Zelin home as a general, she couldn't do that.
She packed a few sets of Ye Zelin's clothes and wanted to personally deliver them to her son at the Kong family. Ye Shiheng grabbed the package from Madam Ouyang and said, "You take care of it at home, I'll go."
Ye Shiheng and Wujing rode to the epidemic area and saw a dozen or so imperial guards surrounded by a crowd of at least a hundred people. He gestured to Wujing, who shouted, "General Ye is here. Get out of the way!"
When people looked back, they saw that the man on the tall horse was indeed General Ye Shiheng, and they all made way for him.
Ye Shiheng dismounted and walked over to the Imperial Guards, carrying a large package. "Brother from the Imperial Guard, I'm Ye Shiheng. My son Ye Zelin is attending the private school run by Master Kong. This is the change of clothes I sent him. It's inconvenient for me to enter the epidemic area, so could you please deliver the change of clothes to the Kong family private school for me?"
The imperial guard took the package and said, "Don't worry, General. I will definitely deliver it to you, young master."
Ye Shiheng expressed his gratitude.
He turned and looked at the huge crowd before him. Each of them was carrying things like clothes and food. Most of them were here to deliver things to their families trapped in the epidemic area. He said, "Everyone, please don't rush. Take your time. Tell your names and ages to the Imperial Guards so they can help deliver the things to your children and brothers. Please line up and come one by one."
After all, he was a great general, and Ye Shiheng's words carried great weight, so people took the initiative to line up.
The imperial guards cast grateful glances at Ye Shiheng.
Ye Shiheng and Wujing left the epidemic area and changed their route to the City Patrol Office to find King Qin. As soon as they arrived at the City Patrol Office, they heard King Qin's angry voice: "I have said that no one is allowed to leave the epidemic area!"
The next moment, Ye Shiheng and Wujing heard another equally angry voice, "Zhao Yingyi, you must let my son out!"
The King of Qin's voice rang out again, "Minister, I am the King of Qin first, and only then your Lu family's son-in-law. Moreover, Princess Jiakang has not yet entered the gate of my King of Qin's mansion. You are not yet my father-in-law. Don't use your status as a father-in-law to pressure me!"
Inside the room, the Minister of State looked at Qin Youran with uncontrollable anger, "Zhao Yingyi!"
Minister Wang of the Ministry of War bowed and said, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, please be flexible."
Qin Youran said, "This king will not compromise!"
He glanced at the Minister of State and Minister Wang of the Ministry of War, then turned to look at the Tokyo feng shui map hanging on the wall and instructed Mu Qing, "Mu Qing, send the Minister of State and Minister Wang away."
