Chapter 241, Stabilizing People's Hearts
Xingyunfu Wharf.
As soon as the Zhou family's steward and Sun got off the boat, they saw General Lu Shuo waiting there.
Lu Shuo stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "Are you two from the Zhou and Yan families?"
Butler Sun immediately replied: "General, we are here, we are here"
Before he could finish, Lu Shuo reached out to stop him, his face solemn, saying, "Whatever you're here for, I'm afraid you'll return empty-handed. Xingyun Prefecture has been sealed off, and now you can only enter but not leave."
"What?!"
Seeing the two people's expressions change drastically, Lu Shuo hurriedly said: "Don't worry too much. The governor sealed the city just to prevent the spread of the plague. Everyone in the city is receiving treatment."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "The young prince is also in there."
Hearing this, Butler Sun and Butler Zhou both breathed a sigh of relief.
The young prince is in the city, which means that Xingyun Mansion will not be abandoned.
Steward Sun asked, "General, are my three young masters all right?"
Lu Shuo was silent for a moment: "Young Master Yan is fine now, but Fourth Young Master Yan is still ill."
Butler Sun was anxious: "The Fourth Young Master is also sick?! How is he now? Didn't he take his medicine?"
Lu Shuo: "The Fourth Young Master is still receiving treatment." The further the plague progresses, the more serious the situation becomes. Previously, Young Master Yan and the others recovered after taking medicine, but for Young Master Yan, the medicine didn't work and he is still lying in bed.
"What about my Master Zhou?" the Zhou family steward also asked hurriedly.
This time, Lu Shuo answered readily: "Young Master Zhou is fine."
The Zhou family steward was relieved. He looked at the panicked Sun steward and asked, "General, can we send someone in to take a look?"
Lu Shuo glanced at the two of them, then, remembering the young prince's good relationship with the two families, he finally nodded and said, "If you're really worried, you can send someone in to take care of them. However, they can't leave until the plague in the city is over."
Butler Sun and the Zhou family's steward immediately discussed it, and finally, both families decided to send one person in.
Seeing that Lü Shuo was about to go and do something else, Steward Sun remembered that there were medicinal herbs on board and hurriedly called out to the people: "General, my family has prepared some medicinal herbs for the young prince."
Lu Shuo stopped immediately.
What do they lack most nowadays?
One is food and the other is medicine.
"Where?"
Steward Sun immediately pointed to the boat: "It's on the boat."
Lu Shuo: "I'll send someone to unload it right away."
Soon, bags of medicinal herbs were carried down.
Looking at the pile of medicinal herbs, which looked like a small mountain, Lu Shuo's frown finally relaxed a little, and he waved his hand hurriedly to let the accompanying doctor check.
Soon, the doctor's surprised voice was heard: "General, these are the herbs we urgently need now."
Lu Shuo immediately laughed and patted Butler Sun's shoulder excitedly, making Butler Sun sway.
Seeing this, Lu Shuo awkwardly withdrew his hand, then clasped his fists and said seriously, "Thank you on behalf of the young prince."
Steward Sun rubbed his arm, shook his head with a stiff face, and said, "My daughter said that the number is small, so we should deal with it as an emergency first."
Because they couldn't enter the city, after sending the people they were taking care of into the city, the Zhou family's steward and the Sun housekeeper took the boat back. They had to go back quickly to report what happened here to the master.
As soon as they left, Lu Shuo sent someone to deliver the medicinal herbs into the city.
A three-story mansion next to the government office.
Xiao Yeyang and others saw that Yan Wenkai's condition had not improved, and Dong Yuanxuan also lay down yesterday, and they all felt extremely heavy.
At this time, Defu hurried in and said, "Master, the Yan family and the Zhou family have sent people over, and Miss Yan also sent a lot of medicinal herbs."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's face lit up with joy: "Really?"
Soon, Qin Xiaoliu and Zhou's servant came in wearing white masks.
Looking at the two people's outfits, Xiao Yeyang and others were obviously stunned.
Seeing Yan Wenxiu and the others standing there defenseless, Qin Xiaoliu immediately pulled out two new masks from his bag and said, "Master, Third Master, take these quickly. Be careful not to get infected."
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Yeyang and the others again, and gave them a few more.
Yan Wenxiu looked at Qin Xiaoliu and hesitated: "We don't need to wear this, right? We are not in contact with patients right now."
Qin Xiaoliu: "You have to wear it. The girl said that the virus is everywhere. It's okay to be careful."
When Yan Wentao heard that it was Daohua who said that, he put on the mask without saying a word. Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a moment and then put it on as well.
When the others saw this, they naturally started wearing it too.
Knowing that Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye wanted to ask about family matters, Xiao Yeyang took people to check the medicinal materials.
Seeing the medicinal herbs sent by Daohua in the yard, Xiao Yeyang breathed a deep breath.
Defu reminded quietly: "The doctor has checked, these herbs are what we urgently need now."
Xiao Yeyang: "Leave some for us to use as a backup, and send the rest to the government office. The city is full of patients right now, and they definitely don't have enough medicine. I don't think the medicine my uncle collected will be delivered in a while."
Defu nodded: "I will do it right away."
Xiao Yeyang silently watched the guards carrying the medicinal herbs, thinking of Daohua in his heart, and muttered: "This guy has helped me a lot again."
Xingzhou City.
Butler Sun and Zhou's steward came back a few days later.
The main courtyard of Yan Mansion.
When Butler Sun came to report, Daohua was there too. Madam Li and Yan Zhigao didn't want to hide it from her, so they let her listen together.
Upon learning that Xingyun Prefecture was sealed off and Yan Wenkai was ill, Madam Li was so exhausted that she fainted.
"mother!"
"lady!"
Daohua and Yan Zhigao quickly helped the person to the bed.
Yan Zhigao was also anxious at this time. He had never expected that both his eldest son and his youngest son were trapped in Xingyun Mansion. He walked around the bed several times, and only spoke to Daohua after he calmed down.
"Don't tell anyone else about this, especially your grandmother. She's old and can't stand being scared."
Daohua nodded and asked with a worried look on her face, "Father, my eldest brother and the others will be fine, right?"
Yan Zhigao frowned and remained silent.
This is a plague, and he can't guarantee what the final outcome will be.
Seeing him like this, Daohua's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
Only Daohua and the other two knew about the situation in Ji Guang, so the Yan family was relatively quiet.
But the Zhou family started to make a fuss.
When Mrs. Zhou learned that Xingyun Prefecture was sealed off, she made a big fuss and insisted on bringing Zhou Chengye back no matter what.
The next day, Zhou Jingwan came to find Daohua with two panda eyes.
Zhou Jingwan looked listless, and noticing Daohua wasn't in a good mood either, she sighed, "My mother wanted to send someone to pick up my brother, but my grandfather said it was useless."
Daohua: ".Xiao Yeyang has been left in the city. Governor Guo will not open this door."
Zhou Jingwan: "My grandfather said the same thing." After a pause, she complained: "How could Governor Guo be so cruel? He doesn't even care about the safety of the young prince. The young prince himself is the same. If he wants to come out, I don't believe Governor Guo will really stop him."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "Because Xiao Yeyang knew the purpose of him being left in the city."
"Hmm?" Zhou Jingwan looked puzzled. "Effect, what effect?"
Daohua: "Only if he stays in the city will the people there stay calm and believe that the imperial court has not given up on them. Xiao Yeyang is used to stabilize people's hearts."
Zhou Jingwan was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
Daohua gave a bitter smile and said, "No one in this world can enjoy without giving anything in return."
Because of the Guo family's kindness to Xiao Yeyang, and perhaps also because of their intention to relieve the emperor's worries, Xiao Yeyang would not take the initiative to leave Xingyun Mansion at this time.
