Chapter 191 The Eternal Empress, 1V4 Shura Field 29
Jingchuantang put one hand behind his back, with a closed door in front of him:
"Your Majesty will decide whether I have failed in my duty. The epidemic area is dangerous. Your Majesty, please return to the capital first."
He didn't understand why Xu Zhu came to Changhe County. The epidemic was a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster. Even if there were a hundred imperial masters, it would be of no use.
Xu Zhu naturally came for Quan Jiu, and she couldn't die before the time was right.
"Your Majesty is in trouble now. As a subject, how can I retreat so easily?"
Jingchuantang and this mysterious national teacher have always kept their distance from each other. Since the other party is not afraid of death, there is no need for him to stop him.
He looked at the guard at the door:
"Please inform His Majesty that Jingchuan Hall requests an audience."
The guard saluted respectfully, looking embarrassed:
"General Jing, His Majesty has ordered that the mansion be sealed from today onwards. No one is allowed to enter."
Jingchuantang: "I won't let you either?"
The guard muttered to himself.
Not only was he not allowed to do so, His Majesty had also specifically instructed that General Jing must be stopped.
As soon as Jing Chuantang saw his expression, he immediately understood everything.
He didn't argue any further and turned away.
………
Quan Jiu developed fever and vomiting that afternoon.
Not only that, the epidemic was so severe that small red hives began to appear on her arms.
001 was a little worried when he saw this: "How do you feel?"
Quan Jiu lowered his sleeves to cover the rash on his arms:
"It's good that I'm sick. I can use myself as a test subject, so I don't have to come into contact with infected patients."
In one afternoon, all seven people in the mansion sought medical treatment, and no one was spared, including her.
001: "How confident are you that this antidote is available?"
Quan Jiu said indifferently: "Less than 10%."
001: “…”
The state of mind of alcohol is stable:
"The worst that can happen is that the mission fails and I have to start all over again. Your system only has a few types of punishments, and I'm tired of it all the time."
001: “…”
Quan Jiu put away the medical books, came to the table and put his sleeves up to grind the herbs.
She had to find an antidote quickly before her body collapsed.
"Xin'an, take these mugworts out and burn them, and fumigate the entire yard twice."
There were footsteps behind me.
As soon as Quan Jiu's hands were empty, Ai Cao was taken away by someone, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear any footsteps.
She sensed something was wrong and looked up suddenly, seeing the young man in red holding mugwort.
Jingchuantang shook the mugwort in his hand:
"How long will Your Majesty hide from me?"
Quan Jiu covered his mouth and nose, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from him.
"I'm infected, Jingchuantang, stay away from me."
Although this virus is not highly contagious, its mortality rate is as high as 95%.
Even though Jing Chuan Tang had some suspicions in his heart, he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard the news of her diagnosis.
"Is your Majesty feeling unwell?"
It took only ten days from infection to sudden death. From today on, Quan Jiu's life entered the countdown.
Quan Jiu looked interested:
"If I die, shouldn't you and the Prime Minister be happy?"
She is not a fool. Feng Zhuo is behind her. She has heard rumors about what the Jing family is planning behind the scenes.
Jing Chuan Tang didn't expect her to take the initiative to bring it up, and his usual enchanting smile gradually faded:
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. There may be some misunderstanding here. My loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to heaven and earth, and to the sun and moon."
Quan Jiu: “…”
Misunderstood your sister.
She couldn't see through Jingchuantang. You said he wanted to rebel, but he had been planning for more than a year and had never done anything to harm her.
Seeing her in deep thought, Jing Chuantang took a step forward and placed the back of his hand on her hot forehead.
"Your Majesty has a fever."
Quan Jiu took three steps back in fright:
"I told you not to come over..."
Jing Chuantang grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
“How can it be so easy to get infected?”
After such a long investigation, they found that the conditions for infection are extremely harsh. There must be saliva contact, using the same set of bowls and chopsticks, and drinking the same bottle of water will all lead to infection. However, the risk of infection can be greatly reduced by just keeping a distance and talking for a short time.
There was an extra hand on Quan Jiu's waist, and she was forced to smell the ambergris on Jing Chuantang's body.
Jingchuantang lifted up her robe and saw the rash underneath.
"Is your Majesty afraid?"
Being infected with the plague is equivalent to starting the countdown of life, and the mentally weak would have already suffered a mental breakdown.
Quan Jiu: “…”
Excuse me for being frank, but this plague is not as scary as that white-skinned wolf cub in the palace.
"Aren't there still ten days left? Why are you panicking?"
Anyway, she was just a puppet emperor. Even if she died, there was still a regent to clean up the mess.
Quan Jiu came out of his arms and prepared to continue researching the antidote.
"What are your Majesty and General Jing doing?"
Before Jingchuantang's hand loosened from Quanjiu's waist, Xu Zhu, dressed in an elegant white robe, walked in.
Seeing the intimate actions of the two, the man's dark eyes sank slightly, and there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
Is she hooking up with Jingchuantang again?
Quan Jiu was shocked when someone from the Imperial City suddenly appeared in Changhe County. He quickly jumped out of Jingchuantang's arms:
"National Master, why are you here?"
Xu Zhu's answer was flawless:
"I am concerned about your Majesty's safety. After careful consideration, I have decided to come to your side to protect you."
"Protecting the emperor?"
Jingchuantang raised his eyebrows.
"Besides the plague, is there anything else in this city that can harm Your Majesty?"
Xu Zhu's black film flowed over his body, with profound meaning:
"General Jing naturally knows better than me."
Quan Jiu: “…”
The smell of gunpowder is so strong.
Quan Jiu ordered the two men not to enter or leave her room, and began to stay indoors, concentrating on developing the antidote.
On the fifth day, the symptoms of the epidemic gradually became uncontrollable. She had just taken out a medicinal herb and stood up when she suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she fell to the ground.
The herbs in her hand fell to the ground. She took a minute to recover her sight.
001 frowned: "Are you okay?"
Quan Jiu got up from the ground. The skin on his palms was scratched by the stones and blood kept oozing out.
She walked out of the room and found the medicine box. Before she could apply medicine on herself, Xu Zhu, who was walking towards her, saw the wound on her hand.
"Your Majesty is injured?"
Quan Jiu opened the cork and prepared to disinfect himself first, but because he only had one hand, his movements were inevitably clumsy.
Seeing this, Xu Zhu took the bottle and said, "Let me serve you."
Quan Jiu did not refuse and let the transparent wine stains wash the wound.
Xu Zhu's hands have distinct joints, each finger is as slender as jade, and his nails are crystal clear, like exquisite works of art.
His fingertips were extremely cold. He held the back of Quan Jiu's hand, opened the golden wound medicine, and began to apply the medicine to her.
"Your Majesty, today is the fifth day."
Quan Jiu looked at the man in front of him:
"Life and death are determined by fate. If something happens to me, please ask the Imperial Master to continue to assist the Regent and protect the people of Qianqiu Nation for a lifetime of peace."
Xu Zhu looked indifferent, lowered his eyes and said:
"Your Majesty is a man of good fortune, and nothing will happen to him."
