Chapter 187: The Eternal Empress, 1V4 Shura Field 25
Quan Jiu glared at him: "Be gentle..."
The woman's gaze had no killing power, and in Jingchuantang's eyes it looked like coquettishness.
The young man in red worked hard and massaged Quan Jiu's shoulders gently.
The situation in Changhe County is not optimistic. Almost all the people in the city have been infected, and even the men brought by Jingchuantang have fallen one after another.
Quan Jiu: "The imperial physician has no solution at all?"
Jing Chuan Tang shook his head. Despite working hard for many days, the man was still as handsome as ever.
"The plague is coming with great force, unlike any previous plagues. The imperial physician prescribed medicine, but it had little effect."
Quan Jiu decided to go see the patient in person.
The two men came to the patient with mild symptoms. Just as Quan Jiu was about to reach out to feel his pulse, he was stopped by Jing Chuantang.
"Your Majesty, the dragon's health is the most important thing. It's better to feel his pulse through the handkerchief."
This plague is not highly contagious, but has a very high mortality rate.
Quan Jiu finished taking the pulse through the handkerchief and seemed to be lost in thought.
"Changhe County has been completely sealed off. Are you sure all the people are gathered in the east of the city?"
This plague was very tricky, and there was no similar case recorded in medical books, so she could only cross the river by feeling the stones and explore on her own.
When this question was mentioned, Jingchuantang's face darkened slightly:
"Some seriously ill people refused to cooperate. After learning that there was no cure for the critically ill, they began to flee in all directions, trying to avoid searches by soldiers."
Quan Jiu had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run, so he ordered:
"First, burn everything the sick have come into contact with. Then, divide everyone into three categories based on the severity of their illness: mild, medium, and severe, and manage them in different areas."
Her order actually made Jingchuantang look at her more.
"Your Majesty seems to know a lot about the plague?"
This was the first time that a plague broke out in Qianqiu Country. Most of the ministers in the court had no experience in dealing with the plague and were restricted in how to handle it.
As a foolish monarch, Quan Jiu did not panic when he saw the dead bodies walking across the streets. Instead, he calmly gave orders.
Quan Jiu: "I saw a similar record in an unofficial history book."
Jingchuantang is not so easy to fool:
"Oh? I wonder which medical book it is?"
Quan Jiu cleared his throat:
"Well, it's been too long since I saw it, so I forgot."
All her little vests disappeared in front of Jingchuan Hall.
Jing Chuantang stared at the woman's tightly pursed lips, and thinking about her rapid improvement in medical skills over the past year, he became even more curious about the real reason why she hid her abilities.
During this year, she did not favor any male favorites. The outside world thought that the assassination incident had left a shadow on her, but Jingchuantang knew that the story of her favoring a male favorite was completely false.
…
Quan Jiu dressed as a man and lived in the military camp. Except for the county magistrate and several generals, everyone thought she was just an accompanying imperial physician.
In just two days, more than thirty more bodies were found in the east of the city, but there was still no idea where to find the antidote.
Jing Chuantang had just returned from the east of the city when he saw Quan Jiu sleeping on the herbal table.
On the table were prescriptions with clean ink stains. After being rejected by the owner, they were crumpled up and thrown into the corner.
The woman was wearing a blue men's gown, her eyelashes tightly closed, and she was sleeping soundly on the table. She didn't even notice him entering the tent.
Jingchuantang did not wake her up, but stared at her sleeping face and fell into deep thought.
She has really changed a lot.
Before going to the border, he had seen "Zhu Yan".
When I first met her, she was ordering the eunuchs and palace maids to bark like dogs, and a group of people were lying on the ground playing football with her. As long as someone was taller than her, she would let the guards drag that person out and behead him.
Arrogant, domineering, violent and ruthless.
That was his first impression of her.
The second time they met was at the dinner party on her return to Beijing. She avoided his lover with disgust, and her eyes were bright and clear, completely different from the vicious look she had in her childhood.
He gazed at her sleeping face:
"Zhu Yan, which one is the real you..."
This time when he returned to Beijing, he planned to rebel.
Qianqiu Kingdom does not need a cruel and inhumane monarch. She is not worthy of sitting in that position.
After several years of planning, the Jing family's plan to force the emperor to abdicate has been nearly perfected. They are just waiting for an opportunity to bring Zhu Yan down.
Now that she has lost her throne and has no one to protect her, can she still be as calm and composed as she is now?
When Quan Jiu woke up, the oil lamp was already lit in the tent.
"woke up?"
The man's magnetic and deep voice sounded beside him.
Quan Jiu stood up from the table, and the white fox fur cloak on her shoulders slipped off. She hurriedly reached out to grab it, and recognized it as Jingchuantang's cloak at a glance.
"How long have I slept?"
Jingchuan Hall: "The time it takes to hold an incense stick."
She was very close to him, and the faint herbal fragrance on her body wafted into his nostrils.
Quan Jiu pinched his sore brows and said, "I'll go back and take a shower first."
She was so busy developing the antidote that she hadn't taken a bath for three days.
As soon as Quan Jiu left, Jing Chuantang came out of the tent to get some fresh air and met his deputy general Chen Kang.
"General, you are alone. Why don't you see Brother Jiu?"
Jingchuantang: "Do you have something to do with her?"
Deputy General Chen patted his belly and smiled:
"It's nothing serious, actually. My brothers heard that Brother Jiu is a skilled doctor, so they all wanted to see her. They've probably already rushed into Brother Jiu's tent..."
Jing Chuantang's face changed drastically when he heard this.
He knew his soldiers best. After living in the barracks for a long time, none of them had any sense of shame. If they mistakenly thought Zhu Yan was a man, even if they knew she was taking a shower, they would probably just rush in and take a shower with her.
"That's just nonsense!"
He ran towards Quanjiu's tent with a sullen face. He was in such a hurry that he even used his Qinggong skills.
Deputy General Chen Kang was stunned.
"General, do you also want to see a doctor?"
…
Jingchuantang rushed directly into Quanjiu's tent.
The guards saw that it was their boss, looked at each other, and did not make any move to stop him.
Jingchuan Tang was in a hurry. When he entered and saw that there was no one on the couch, he breathed a sigh of relief and ran behind the screen.
Behind the screen stood a bathtub filled with water, next to the bathtub stood a suit of men's clothing with a handkerchief hanging on the edge, but there was no person in sight.
Jingchuantang frowned?
Is this washed?
What about those brats? Did they see it when they came?
If I happened to catch her bathing...
“Crash!”
The stagnant water in the bathtub suddenly surged with bubbles, and someone suddenly emerged from the water.
Jing Chuantang was shocked and turned his head to see the woman's wet black hair and shoulders as white as cream.
Quan Jiu didn't expect that there would suddenly be someone in the room. She was about to tell him to get out when Jing Chuantang stepped forward and covered her mouth.
Quan Jiu: “???”
What the fuck?
Jingchuantang pointed outside the tent:
"Your Majesty, there are guards outside. Your sudden screaming will only draw them in."
Quan Jiu: “…”
You also know there are guards?
Then how did you get in?
She stared at Jingchuan Hall with wide eyes.
The man looked helpless:
"I thought something had happened to Your Majesty, so I rushed here and bumped into Your Majesty."
