C653

In July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the hot sun is pouring down like fire. Just standing in the sun for a while, the summer cicada is sweating. Hiding in the withered leaves, the summer cicada screams.

At this time, there were many more patients in the major medical centers in Jinling City. They all had the same symptoms, such as abdominal discharge, headache, cold hands and feet, like heat stroke. After taking the medicine, they got better in the first few days. Later, they got worse. They couldn't even keep their saliva. After a few days, they were seriously dehydrated and changed shape.

In the middle of July, the first patient died, and in the following ten days, death cases appeared one after another. At the same time, the number of patients began to increase significantly, from the initial dozens to hundreds, which scared the doctors to panic and finally realized this It's probably an epidemic.

When jingzhaofu got the news, he didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately went to the palace to report. Dongfang Su realized that the matter was serious. He immediately ordered all the imperial doctors to go to the place where the epidemic broke out for consultation, and worked out a prescription to cure the epidemic as soon as possible.

When Emperor chengdi was alive, a serious epidemic broke out in Dazhou. In Jiangnan area, tens of thousands of people died due to mutual infection, and the economy was seriously hit. Therefore, Dongfang Su knew the terrible nature of the epidemic, and immediately isolated all the patients to avoid infection.

Under dongfangsu's personal supervision, in less than a day, jingzhaofu isolated all the patients and set up three isolation channels. Only the imperial doctors were allowed in. Every time they went in and out, they had to wash their hands with hot water and change their clothes.

But even so, the epidemic has not been stopped. The number of people suffering from the disease is still increasing, and there is no law to follow. There are all kinds of diseases in the East, West and north of the city. Only the south of the city is the best, and only a few people are sick.

By August, the number of sick people had reached several thousand, and the number of dead people had reached 100. The people in the city began to get nervous. Many people began to find ways to go to Yamen to exchange guides and leave Jinling City. On the most day, more than 100 people left.

If it goes on like this, within a month, Jinling City will become an empty city. As a last resort, Jingzhao government can only stop issuing road guides. But both jingzhaofu and dongfangsu understand that this is only an expedient measure. If the epidemic can not be solved, the people trapped in the city will break out sooner or later.

Compared with swords, spears, swords and halberds, pestilence is the most terrible weapon. It is invisible but can constantly reap other people's lives.

This sudden epidemic made Dongfang Suo headache. What made him helpless most was that he had not found the source for nearly a month. If this continues, there will be a big chaos in Jinling City sooner or later.

The cicadas outside the hall were agitated. Dongfang Su was upset and couldn't calm down. He clapped the armrest and said to Zhang Jin, "go and drive away those cicadas outside. No one is allowed to stay."

Zhang Jinzhi was in a bad mood. He didn't dare to say more. He went down quickly. When he went out, he happened to meet mu Qianxue. He bent over and gave a salute. He reminded him in a low voice, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood. Please be careful."

"I have a few. Thank you for reminding me." After thanking her, mu Qianxue stepped into the hall, took out a bright red swallow from the food box held by Huarui and handed it to dongfangsu. She said in a soft voice, "I heard that your majesty didn't eat anything all day. I specially asked someone to stew a swallow and pour it with honey. It's soft, waxy and sweet. Please try it."

Dongfang Su pinched his tired brow and shook his head. "I'm not hungry. Let's put it down."

Mu Qianxue looked at the folded boxes spread on the imperial case and said in a soft voice: "has the imperial doctor not developed a prescription to cure the epidemic yet?"

Dongfang Su said with a bitter smile: "if there is a prescription, I don't have to worry about it. I don't have anything. I can't even find the source. Now there are nearly 10000 people who are sick. If we go on like this, I'm afraid we'll soon be overwhelmed. " At this point, he said angrily: "those doctors, on weekdays, boast that they are like Hua Tuo in the world. When things happen, they are useless."

"Don't worry, your majesty. There will always be a solution." Mu Qianxue picked up a fold and looked at it carefully. She frowned and said, "even the imperial guards who were sent to guard also got sick?"

"Yes, just the day before yesterday." Dongfang Su sighed deeply, "the situation is more and more difficult to control. I'm worried Even the palace will be implicated. " After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "I'll arrange for you to go out of the city to changchunyuan tomorrow. I'll come back after a while."

Mu Qianxue's long eyelashes trembled slightly. "Does your majesty want me to take refuge alone?"

Dongfang Su held her cold fingers and said, "this epidemic is coming. I don't know what will spread to the palace. Qianxue, you know what I'm most worried about is you and Yuhuai. Only when you are safe can I settle down to fight this hard battle, so Promise me, will you? "

"But..."

Dongfang Su interrupted her, "even if it's not for me, you have to think about it. They are still so small. Do you have the heart to hurt them?"

Mu Qianxue is silent. As dongfangsu said, she can't care about her own safety, but she can't care about them. Isn't it Do you really want to take refuge out of the city?But it's hard for her to stay here alone.

"Zhang Jin." Dongfang Suo called Zhang Jin, who was waiting on one side, "summon the commander of the imperial army to prepare 1000 elite soldiers and send the imperial concubine out of the city tomorrow morning. In addition, you can go to the queen and Liang Zhaoyi again and ask them to clean up quickly." After a pause, he said, "mother There are also Yi's and others. They all have a pass. Let's go. "

Zhang Jin was embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, once you leave like this, the palace will be empty."

"Empty is better than..." Dongfang Suo stopped the word "death" that had reached his mouth, waved his hand and said, "do as I say."

"Wait a minute." Mu Qianxue called Zhang Jin, who was ready to go down, and said to Dongfang: "it's late now. I'm afraid all your sisters have stopped. I'd better go to inform you tomorrow. There are all things in changchunyuan, but they are just personal things. It doesn't take much time."

Dongfang Su stared at her for a moment, shook his head and said, "I know what you are thinking, but one night Qian Xue, I really don't hold any hope. "

Mu Qianxue said with a smile, "from the Western Chu Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, then from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to Dongling, and finally back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The biggest feeling of my concubine is that I don't give up hope at any time. Maybe the next moment is the turning point."
