Chapter 75 Prince Duan, You Are a Disaster

But a long time passed, and there was no other sound except for the strange silence.

Prince Duan looked towards the carriage window in confusion. Only then did he realize that the curtain of the carriage window had been lowered at some point.

He felt something was wrong.

But I felt that he was overthinking it.

Prince Duan smiled and asked, "Brother, this is the big surprise I prepared for you. Do you like it?"

"I like your head!"

"You idiot!"

"You're going to kill everyone!"

Emperor Zhaoning directed his sharp accusations at Prince Duan.

Prince Duan was stunned by the scolding. Why was he scolded?

But Emperor Zhaoning was still not satisfied. He angrily took off one of his boots embroidered with a gold-thread dragon pattern and smashed it at Prince Duan's head through the carriage window.

Prince Duan's head was hit and it hurt a lot.

People were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.

He knelt on the ground with a trembling body, kowtowed, and asked in confusion, "Brother, what's wrong with you? I am helping you with your worries, don't you like it?"

"Share my worries? Ha..." Emperor Zhaoning held his forehead with a headache, "You have caused me and the people of the capital a lot of trouble."

"I don't quite understand." Prince Duan looked confused.

Emperor Zhaoning rebuked, "I told you that those refugees were infected with the plague and needed to be driven out immediately. But are you all deaf? How dare you disobey my order? And you even did all these weird things? You really gave me a big surprise!"

plague?

Seeing the emperor is so angry, it doesn't seem like he is joking!

It looks like there really is a plague!

Before, he had been making random guesses about the emperor's intentions.

It's over.

Prince Duan's previously relaxed heart suddenly tensed up.

If there really is a plague, the plague will be contagious. Everyone in his Prince Duan's Mansion has come into contact with the refugees, and the Prince Duan's Mansion will be the first to suffer. The royal brother will not let him off easily.

Prince Duan was so frightened that his face turned pale.

At this moment, several refugees standing not far away suddenly fainted.

Emperor Zhaoning's accompanying imperial physician went forward to check. The refugees' pulses were all very disordered, as if they were sick, but not simply sick. Moreover, they all had the same sores on their bodies. It was the plague...

Suddenly fainted and there was a risk of death.

After the imperial physician finished examining the patient, his legs went limp and he hurried forward to report.

After listening to this, Emperor Zhaoning immediately made arrangements.

"Royal Guards, immediately track down anyone who has had close contact with the refugees. Expel all of them from the city and treat them outside the city. No one should be left behind."

"Sprinkle lime powder everywhere in the city for disinfection."

"From the Imperial Hospital, just leave a few people in the palace to look after the disease. The rest of you, go outside the city and help me deal with the plague. Cheer up."

"The plague is no small matter. If you are not careful, the whole city will be destroyed. I hope you will take it seriously."

The Imperial Guards and the accompanying imperial physician knelt down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, we will take this matter seriously."

The next step is to deal with those who caused the spread of the plague.

Emperor Zhaoning looked at the commander-in-chief of the city patrol and Prince Duan who were standing beside the carriage.

Both of them were shaking like sieves with fear.

But it was in vain, and they had to pay a heavy price for their actions.

Emperor Zhaoning said coldly: "The chief commander of the city patrol guards disobeyed the order and acted insincerely, causing the spread of the plague. He will be executed immediately. The rest of the city patrol guards will be fined one year's salary."

"Prince Duan, you are imprisoned in the imperial prison! You are not allowed to leave in this lifetime."

Plague has always been a major disaster since ancient times.

Therefore, Emperor Zhaoning dealt with those involved very harshly, without any mercy, and did whatever he had to do.

The royal guards waiting on the side immediately took the order and went to get the person.

Seeing how serious Emperor Zhaoning was, they did not dare to slack off and quickly captured the commander-in-chief of the city patrol guards and Prince Zhao.

The commander-in-chief of the city patrol was regretting his decision to the core.

He wished he could break free from the control of the Imperial Guards, rush to Prince Duan, and beat him up, but he couldn't break free, so he could only scold Prince Duan.

"Prince Duan, you are simply a disaster!"

"If you hadn't seduced me and asked me to transform refugees with you, would I have suffered such a terrible disaster?"

"You are such a jinx, you have killed me.

"I'm counting on you to get a promotion? Bah! I'm going to die because of you."

"If I had known this, I would have just followed your orders and driven the refugees away instead of getting involved in all this trouble with you."

It is said that men don't shed tears easily. At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the city patrol guards cursed and cried, with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, please spare my life!"

"Please spare my life?"

The commander-in-chief of the city patrol begged for mercy, but Emperor Zhaoning ignored him and the imperial guards took the man away.

Prince Duan also cried.

He really didn't want to go to the Imperial Prison, because once you entered that place you could never get out. He begged for mercy desperately, but it was no use, and he was sent to the Imperial Prison.

All the people in Prince Duan's mansion were driven out of the city for treatment.

They were all eagerly waiting for the reward after reforming the refugees, but instead of receiving the reward, they were driven out of the city because of close contact with refugees infected with the plague.

It’s winter and it’s very cold outside the city.

While they were trembling in fear, they all blamed Prince Duan for harming them.

Many people were driven out of the city within just one day, and the remaining people were ordered not to move around freely and to stay at home as much as possible. They were only allowed to travel freely after the doctor came to take their pulse and checked everyone.

The street was suddenly deserted.

The city guards no longer need to patrol the city. They only need to carry lime powder for disinfection every day.

The situation in the capital, which had been disrupted by the commander-in-chief of the city patrol guards and Prince Duan, was slowly being brought under control.

But the situation of refugees outside the city is not optimistic.

At this moment, Emperor Zhaoning felt a little overwhelmed after listening to the report from the imperial physician.

The refugees suddenly began to fall ill, the situation was serious, and many people died.

Although people in the capital city stayed indoors, they were still in a state of panic.

If this continues, something bad will happen.

Now we urgently need a prescription that can control the plague.

But no one in the Imperial Medical Bureau could develop it.

·

As for Jiujiu, she was locked in the room and not allowed to go out.

But she wanted to go out and find someone who could solve the plague.

"Mother, can you please take Jiujiu out?" Jiujiu hugged Concubine Li's legs, looked up at her and begged.

Concubine Li shook her head gently: "No." After a pause, "Firstly, your father doesn't allow us to move around freely, and secondly, the situation is not good right now, so we should be careful and not go out."

【But Jiujiu knows someone. 】

【She can come up with a cure for the plague. 】

[But she can't go out now. Jiujiu wants to help her get out. Only when she gets out can the plague be controlled.]

[In the book, it was the plague she controlled! It was just that it took too long and many people died. If Jiujiu had helped her out earlier, so many people wouldn't have died.]

After hearing this, Concubine Li was very surprised. She wanted to ask, is it true? Who is that person?

But considering the seriousness of the situation and the lack of time, she did not waste time and walked out carrying Jiujiu.

"Mother has changed her mind. I will take you out right now." Concubine Li said, "Mother will accompany you wherever Jiujiu wants to go."
