If she didn't know the reason, Jiang Jiuniang might still give him the medicine, but the people who brought him here said that he was punished by the emperor for speaking ill of the couple in front of the emperor, so if she gave him the medicine again, it would mean that she was a little sick.
She gave the eunuch a cold look and said, "I like it when people get what they deserve. Since you say our Lu family has ill intentions, then if you have good intentions, then go and take the lead in taking care of the patients."
After saying that, he turned and left, completely ignoring the eunuch who was making a scene behind him.
It was pitiful that Zhuzhu, a young girl, had to do all these dirty and tiring jobs, so Jiang Jiuniang had someone bring eunuchs to do them to lighten Zhuzhu's burden.
The eunuch tried several times to send a message to find someone to ask for help, but his attempts were suppressed. Now that the situation is dire, no one has the mind to pay attention to those wicked thoughts.
After the matter became public, all the court officials knew about it. The person behind the scenes that the eunuch had been waiting for did not step forward to help, and the entire court did not even dare to mention the matter in court.
After all, the plague is a matter of life and death. Although the actions of the Lu couple may have been suspected of being preemptive, it cannot be denied that it was the best solution. No one else would have had the ability to do this.
There was no way to criticize the behavior of the Lu couple. Even if someone wanted to take the opportunity to say something, they were frightened by the fate of the eunuch, and for a moment no one dared to speak up.
Of course, everyone understood that after this incident, the Lu family's status would only rise higher and become even more unshakeable.
Jiang Jiuniang and Ruozheng worked together and prepared the antidote, which originally took three days to make, by noon on the second day. After the patients in the tent drank it first, their condition improved significantly. They immediately boiled the antidote in a large pot, gave the soldiers a bowl to drink first, and then sent it to the village for the villagers to drink.
Several elderly people in the village couldn't hold on and passed away last night, but the others held on until the antidote was delivered. After drinking the antidote, they felt much better and revered Jiang Jiuniang and Ruozheng as miracle doctors. If they weren't still not fully recovered and at risk of infection, they would have really wanted to go and kowtow to Jiang Jiuniang.
The patient continued to recuperate, but the sick eunuch still had to drag his ailing body to burn the body of the deceased old man, his resentment greater than that of a ghost.
At this moment, Jiang Jiuniang and the others were eating when the eunuch was about to be taken away to the village to collect the corpses of the elderly. When he passed by Jiang Jiuniang's tent, he suddenly found the strength to break free from the soldiers and rushed into the tent, wanting to take revenge on Jiang Jiuniang. He spat into Jiang Jiuniang's food.
He knew he couldn't deal with Jiang Jiuniang, and she wasn't afraid of getting sick, so he could only use this method to annoy her.
Since we're all going to die anyway, it's good to disgust Jiang Jiuniang before we die.
Just as he was running towards the tent, a small stone flew out of the tent and hit him on the thigh. The pain made him fall to the ground, clutching his thigh and screaming as if he was about to faint.
"Drag it away, don't ruin my appetite."
Jiang Jiuniang didn't even raise her head, only letting out her voice.
"It was a minor mistake, I'll take care of it right away!"
Zhuzhu couldn't help but click her tongue and said, "That's just being tactless. Of all people to offend, she had to offend my sister Ajiu."
In terms of cunning and scheming, people in the post-apocalyptic world would do anything to survive. Although Zhuzhu disdained using such despicable methods, she knew that although Jiang Jiuniang's family lived a glamorous life in this era, there were still many dangers lurking behind the scenes.
Having come into this world and enjoying the comfortable life arranged by Jiang Jiuniang, they naturally had to do something for the Lu family, and had already made a series of plans in their hearts.
Jiang Jiuniang said indifferently, "Don't pay attention to him, he's just a clown. It's really not easy for the people behind him to keep their composure at this moment."
Jiang Jiuniang was naturally too lazy to waste her energy on a mere eunuch; what she wanted to catch was the person behind the eunuch.
If they encourage eunuchs to speak ill of the emperor like this, they'll definitely use the same trick again later. Just wait and see.
After everyone drank the antidote, their symptoms were relieved, but their bodies were somewhat damaged. Jiang Jiuniang decided to recuperate everyone's bodies, which delayed things for a few more days.
The eunuch died on the third day after contracting the disease, never revealing who was behind it until his death, suggesting that the other party had something on him.
Lu Baichuan originally wanted to send someone to investigate, but Jiang Jiuniang stopped him, feeling it was unnecessary. Some people always have moments when they can't hold back, so they should just wait for the other party to show up.
On the seventh day of the lockdown, the city gates finally opened. Thanks to the efforts of Jiang Jiuniang and the others, this plague only resulted in the loss of a few elderly people and the only eunuch, making it one of the fewest-losing plagues in history.
The emperor was very pleased. When he went to court that day, he praised the Lu family, Ruozheng, Zhuzhu and others repeatedly. All the officials flattered him, and no one dared to stand up and say anything bad.
The emperor was very pleased with this and rewarded the three of them handsomely. After court, he summoned Jiang Jiuniang, Ruozheng, and Zhuzhu and gave them separate rewards.
Because Lu Baichuan had told the emperor about Ruozheng and Zhuzhu's identities beforehand, when they met, the emperor immediately took out two identity tokens for them without saying a word. Ruozheng's identity was that of a cousin's younger sister from the Empress's family, and Zhuzhu's identity was that of the youngest daughter of a wealthy merchant from Jiangnan.
Both families were thoroughly investigated and trusted, and the individuals in question did exist before, but died in some accident. The two women quietly assumed the identities of those two people.
If anyone asks about it later, just say that she met Jiang Jiuniang, became sworn sisters, and came to the capital to develop her career. Her family was afraid of gossip and thought that an unmarried girl was wandering around outside, so they spread the news of her sudden death.
The reason is somewhat absurd, but it can be explained in a perfunctory way.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Jiuniang was very happy. She had been worried about how to explain things to the emperor, but she didn't expect him to be so understanding and resolve the issue so thoroughly.
The emperor raised his hand and smiled, "Compared to what you have done, this is really a small matter. You have handled this matter better than I expected. Thank you for your hard work."
The emperor's attitude surprised Ruozheng and Zhuzhu. They had always thought that ancient emperors were all very dignified and scheming, but they didn't expect that this emperor was so kind and polite to them.
"I have summoned the Empress. You will all go for a stroll with her in a little while. If you need anything, just tell the Emperor."
The emperor was still quite sensible. Ruozheng and Zhuzhu were both unmarried girls, so it was inconvenient for him to stay long. It would be better for the empress to entertain them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I do have a request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"
Seeing that the emperor was so easy to talk to, Zhuzhu became bolder and spoke up directly.
The emperor was very generous: "Go ahead."
