Chapter 186 The Eternal Empress, 1V4 Shura Field 24
When Quan Jiu once again revealed to Feng Zhuo that there was a 50% chance of curing her leg injury, the usually calm man actually offered to let her treat him.
As early as when Quan Jiu first came here, he was absolutely sure that he could cure his leg injury, but he was afraid that he would doubt him so he deliberately concealed his ability.
Now that Feng Zhuo was finally willing to cooperate with the treatment, she excitedly decided on a treatment plan and time, and prepared to give him acupuncture.
But no one expected that just a few days before the treatment, a major event suddenly happened in Qianqiu Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, there are three more refugees with abnormal body temperatures outside the city gate today."
The prime minister stepped forward and reported.
Quan Jiu had a headache. She didn't expect that she would just happen to catch up with the ancient plague.
The source of the infection was Changhe County, 500 kilometers away from the imperial city. Local officials did not take it seriously at first. When the number of infected people increased and was completely beyond the control of the government, the county magistrate of Changhe County realized the situation belatedly and tried to remedy the situation.
But it was too late. Almost eight out of ten people in Changhe County were infected with the plague. What was worse was that the people of Changhe who had no symptoms earlier had already fled everywhere. In just three days, six infected people with suspected plague symptoms appeared in the capital.
Feng Zhuo sat to the lower right of Quan Jiu and looked up at her.
"Your Majesty, Changhe County has a unique geographical location and is very close to the capital. We can reach the capital in a day by galloping. If the plague cannot be controlled, I am afraid that sooner or later it will endanger the safety of the people in the imperial city."
Quan Jiu naturally understood what he said.
"The plague is a matter of great concern to the country of Qianqiu. This journey is fraught with danger and treacherous. I wonder which of you, my dear minister, is willing to risk your life to restore peace to the people of Qianqiu?"
After she finished speaking, no one around her volunteered.
Changhe County is now a closed den of poison. Whoever goes there will die. No minister in the court wants to ruin his bright future.
Quan Jiu sighed softly and was about to force the assignment when a figure in shimmering red suddenly walked out from the left.
Jingchuantang saluted with both hands and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I accept your orders."
"Tang'er..."
The prime minister on the side looked at Jingchuan Hall with disapproval.
Jing Chuan Tang looked straight into Quan Jiu's eyes:
"I hope Your Majesty will grant this."
Quan Jiu didn't want to fulfill it at all.
The plague is so dangerous. If Jingchuantang dies like this, how can she complete her mission?
But looking around, no one else volunteered except him.
She leaned against the dragon chair and said helplessly:
"I agree."
…
The next morning, Jingchuantang led 10,000 elite soldiers to Changhe County.
Quan Jiu waited in the palace for five days, but no news came back. Finally, he could no longer bear it and decided to go to Jingchuan Hall in person.
Before leaving, she went to the Imperial Master's Mansion to ask Xu Zhu to tell her fortune.
When Xu Zhu learned that she was going to the front line, he was shocked at first, but finally took out a divination bamboo stick and told her fortune.
"A very bad sign, a very bad omen."
No one expected this result. Xu Zhu put the stick back into the bamboo tube and looked at Quan Jiu seriously.
"Your Majesty, this journey is dangerous and you risk your life at any time. For the sake of Qianqiu Nation, please give up the idea of traveling."
Quan Jiu finally decided to go to Changhe County.
Jingchuantang cannot die.
But just when she made the decision, packed her bags and prepared to leave on the eve of her departure, a figure appeared outside the palace.
Feng Zhuo pushed the wheelchair in and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really have to go to Changhe?"
Quan Jiu said, "Feng Zhuo, you know my medical skills are decent. But now that the people are in trouble, as the ruler of a country, there is absolutely no reason for me to retreat."
She did not call him "My dear minister" nor did she call herself "I". After more than a year of living together, the relationship between them as monarch and subject had long deteriorated.
Feng Zhuo taught her the art of power control, and she studied medicine for him. Whenever it rained, she would find him on time and apply medicine for him.
Feng Zhuo nodded and did not stop her:
"Since Your Majesty must go, I hope Your Majesty will allow me to go with you."
Quanjiu disagreed:
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. If something really happens to me, then the Qianqiu Kingdom will have to rely on you."
Feng Zhuo looked at her for a long time before speaking.
"good."
………
Quan Jiu took five hundred soldiers and a dozen imperial doctors to Changhe County.
As soon as I entered the city gate, I was shocked by the various tragic scenes on the streets.
The once bustling streets were deserted and cold, with rows of people lying on the roadside, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.
"Your Majesty, stay away from them."
The imperial physician covered his nose and stayed away from the people on the street.
Quan Jiu looked at the county magistrate standing beside him and asked, "Are they all dead bodies?"
The County Magistrate said, "They are all severely infected, their wounds already festering and itching. The imperial physician says there's no way to save them. They're no better than dead bodies. They're waiting to be buried alive tonight."
Quan Jiu: "Buried alive?"
The county magistrate was also in a dilemma:
"This is a helpless move. If we don't deal with this group of people, more and more people will be infected."
Quan Jiu was a little curious: "Is this an order from Jingchuan Hall?"
"No, General Jing is in the hardest-hit area in the east of the city and has no time to deal with this group of critically ill patients."
Patients with mild symptoms are easier to treat. If one must choose a treatment method, then the first choice should definitely be to treat patients with mild symptoms who have a greater chance of recovery.
Quan Jiu: "First, find a house to isolate these people, and take me to see Jingchuantang."
The moment I saw Jingchuantang, the man was buried in the table, discussing today's improved prescription with a group of imperial doctors. His handsome eyebrows and eyes were a little more cold and solemn.
When Jing Chuantang looked up, he saw Quan Jiu, dressed in men's clothing, opening the curtain and walking into the tent.
His expression changed immediately, and he strode towards Quan Jiu:
"Changhe County is in danger now. Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. This is not the place for you to come."
He reached out to grab her wrist and pull her out, but thinking of the plague, he withdrew his hand and kept his distance from her.
He stared at Quan Jiu, his attitude refutable:
"Go back. Now, immediately, immediately."
Quan Jiu walked in slowly under his cold gaze:
"I'm in good health. You've been here for so many days and nothing's happened. How could I fall ill so easily?"
Now that she was here, she wanted to try to find an antidote to the plague.
Jing Chuantang looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes.
If Quan Jiu gets into trouble in Changhe County, it will be a hundred benefits and no harm to the Jing family. Feng Zhuo obviously has no intention of becoming emperor. The Jing family can take advantage of this opportunity and the throne of Qianqiu Kingdom will be firmly in their pockets.
His father had been planning for decades for this moment, but someone was still so heartless and grinned at him.
"My dear, give me a massage on my shoulders. I've been riding all night and my bones are almost falling apart."
She spoke with a smile, without a commanding tone, and her red lips were slightly curled, making her sound like she was acting coquettishly.
Jing Chuantang walked over and pinched her shoulder blades hard.
"hiss……"
Quan Jiu gasped in pain.
"Is your Majesty satisfied with this strength?"
