Mu Qing said, "Minister Wang, please come in."
The Minister of the Chancellery and Minister Wang did not move.
Mu Qing had no choice but to ask again, "My Lords, please go back."
The Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Wang had no intention of leaving.
Mu Qing requested three times, but the Shangshu Ling and the other two were still unwilling to leave.
Ye Shiheng walked into the house, interrupting to save Qin Youran, "Your Highness Prince Qin."
"General." Qin Youran turned around. "The wind must have brought you here."
Ye Shiheng bowed and Qin Youran returned the greeting.
Shang Shu Ling and Shang Shu Wang looked at Ye Shiheng at the same time. Was he also here to take his son away?
Everyone in the court knew that Ye Zelin was studying in the private school of Confucius.
Ye Shiheng didn't care whether Shang Shu Ling and Wang Shang Shu were present or not, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, this general has something to ask of you."
Hearing this, Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Wang couldn't help but think in their hearts that Ye Shiheng was indeed here to take his son away.
And His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin directly said, "The General is also going to lead people out of the epidemic area?"
Shang Shu Ling and Wang Shang Shu thought Ye Shiheng was right, but Ye Shiheng actually said, "No, Your Highness has been ordered to treat the epidemic, and I will cooperate."
Ye Shiheng's words fell into the ears of Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Wang, especially Shangshu Ling, who showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, thinking that Ye Shiheng said it on purpose.
Qin Youran asked, "What is the general doing here at the City Patrol Office?"
Ye Shiheng didn't know that Hua Fushu and Qin Youran were senior brothers and sisters, so he just said shamelessly, "Your Highness, my daughter Hua is skilled in medicine. She's in the epidemic area and can't go back. I'd like to ask you to do me a favor and send someone to look after her. She's a weak girl and can't compare to a strong man."
Upon learning that Hua Fushu had entered the epidemic area to treat patients, Ye Shiheng understood his daughter-in-law's personality and would not force her to leave the epidemic area. He could only use his connections to ask others to take better care of Hua Fushu.
The epidemic area was blocked and entry and exit were strictly prohibited. Hua Fushu dared to go to the epidemic area to treat patients and had no plans to return to the General's Mansion.
As a father, he could only respect Hua Fushu's choice.
How could Qin Youran not give General Ye a little face? "The young lady from your mansion is kind and righteous. She went into the epidemic area to treat patients. I will send someone to take good care of Miss Ye. Please rest assured, General."
Ye Shiheng smiled and said, "That's good. Thank you, Your Highness Prince Qin."
Qin Youran smiled faintly back.
Ye Shiheng had said what he wanted to say and was about to leave the City Patrol Office and return to the General's Mansion. He saw the Minister of the Chancellery and Minister Wang staring straight at His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. It looked like they would not leave until the Prince of Qin released them.
He walked over, stood behind Shang Shu Ling and Wang Shang Shu, opened his arms and put them around their shoulders, "You two, let's go together, you'll have company."
The Minister of Chancellery said, "We are not on the way."
"On the way, I can just change the route and go back home." Ye Shiheng said.
Ye Shiheng put his arms around Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Wang's shoulders and walked towards the door. Shangshu Ling twisted his body to break free from Ye Shiheng's restraints. Ye Shiheng hugged Shangshu Ling tightly with his other hand and put his other arm around Shangshu Wang. The three of them crossed the threshold under the gaze of King Qin and others.
"Ye Shiheng, you're hurting me, let go!"
"Brother Zijin, this general didn't use any strength."
"Ye Zhongping, you are just a warrior who only knows how to use brute force!"
"You are still just a scholar."
Mu Qing waited until Ye Shiheng and the other two had left the gate of the City Patrol Office before saying, "Your Highness, General Ye is here to help you out. General Ye is truly formidable. He carried away the Minister of Chancellery and Minister Wang like they were chicks."
Qin Youran let out a long sigh. Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Wang suddenly came to the City Patrol Office and asked him to release the third son of the Lu family from the blockade area. In order to prevent the plague from spreading to other areas, he refused Shangshu Ling. Shangshu Ling then used his status and power to force him to release the son. If it weren't for General Ye taking Shangshu Ling and the other two away, he really didn't know how long he would have been in a stalemate with Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Wang.
General Ye's actions helped him a lot.
Mu Qing added, "General Ye and Shangshu Ling serve in the same court and are both fathers. General Ye is more cooperative with Your Highness, while Shangshu Ling only uses his power to oppress others. How can the difference be so huge?"
Qin Youran agreed. "One is a military commander, the other a civil official. The difference is quite significant. If there were more people like the general who can cooperate with me, I would have fewer headaches."
The plague in Tokyo was extraordinary, with the number of infections continuing to rise. In the Taipingfang area alone, cases soared from 600 to over 1,000, with nearly 200 seriously ill and over 20 dead. The blockade area more than doubled in size. Due to a severe shortage of available manpower, Qin Youran launched a campaign to encourage Tokyo residents to participate in the defense and treatment of the affected area. Meanwhile, many wealthy families and officials in the capital also sent people to serve the King of Qin.
The blockade of the epidemic area and the treatment of patients were proceeding in an orderly manner. Qin Youran was deeply moved when she saw the people who spontaneously helped with the treatment.
The epidemic is too severe, the number of people infected has continued to rise, and the blockade area is also expanding. The official name of Tokyo is a city lockdown, and people are accustomed to calling the city lockdown Tokyo. This time the city lockdown has really become a city lockdown.
The prolonged blockade led to a rise in the number of patients, and the affected areas faced a shortage of food and medicine. Qin Youran submitted a memorial requesting the court to fund the purchase of grain and medicine for the affected areas. However, since it would take time for His Majesty to review and approve the application, the Ministry of Revenue to verify and transfer the funds, and finally allocate the funds, he decided to purchase a batch of grain and send it to the residents of the affected areas. He also sent people to the county government near Tokyo to buy medicine.
In the Taipingfang epidemic area, Hua Fushu leaned against the wall to catch his breath and drink some hot water. Liu Shiba, the imperial physician, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, handed him a steamed bun and said, "Little Nineteen, eat quickly."
Hua Fushu took the plump white bun, took a bite and ate it, saying vaguely, "Eighteenth Master, it's cold."
Liu Shiba glared at her and said, "I told you to eat it but you didn't. It's been here for so long, it's no wonder it's not cold."
"Young Master."
Nan Xing came over with two steamed buns wrapped in a handkerchief, "They're fresh out of the pan, still hot. Young Master, please eat them quickly."
Hua Fushu's stomach was empty, so he didn't care whether it was hot or not. He grabbed the meat bun and ate it with relish. "Feng Jing's roujiamo, the roujiamo is pretty good. Who came up with this?"
Nanxing handed another meat bun to Doctor Liu. "This was made by the King of Qin's order. You doctors have been seeing patients one after another, and your job is very tiring. You need to replenish your energy."
Liu Shiba took a bite of the meat-filled steamed bun and chewed it slowly. "Xiao Nanxing, you've been running around for a long time, and there are still some steamed buns. Eat more."
Nan Xing said, "I'm not a doctor." He was a guard, an attendant, and a poison master, not a doctor.
Liu Shiba ignored Nanxing and looked at Hua Fushu, extending a sincere invitation, "Xiaojiu, when the plague is over, will you come to the Imperial Hospital?"
Hua Fushu asked, "Would I be inferior to you if I went to the Imperial Hospital?"
