The four towns surrounding the town also began to have an outbreak. The capital quickly dispatched people to control the area, but the outbreak had already spread to five towns. How could they control it in a short period of time?
The imperial physicians were sent in, and soldiers were sent in to assist them. The disease was not well controlled, and the number of deaths did not decrease. It looked like these cities and towns would soon become empty cities.
For this reason, the people of the capital were extremely frightened of the inconsequential illnesses. The commoners, the nobles, and even the nobles, would rush to the various infirmary whenever they felt unwell.
The Charity Hall was no exception, it was crowded. Qingluo and the others had already been tired for the whole spring, and by the time summer came, everyone had already lost all their energy.
However, they could not let these patients go and shut down Charity Hall. In fact, most patients were not really any big problems, if they had a slight headache, they would not even need to take medicine, and they would be fine as long as they were at home for two days.
However, everyone was too worried and scared. They were afraid that they would be affected by the plague and delay the treatment. They were worried that it would hurt not only themselves but their families as well.
Being busy was not a solution, as long as people were busy they would not be able to solve the underlying problem. Qingluo and the other madams held a few small meetings and discussed things together.
In the end, all the doctors in the entire capital, including Charity Hall, were at the door preparing a big pot of medicinal herbs for everyone to drink. As long as they passed by, they would be able to drink a bowl of anti-epidemic medicinal herbs.
It was announced in the form of a notice that the herbal medicine was to be consumed twice a day in the capital. It was to be used nearby regardless of the time or place.
The commoners could drink medicine in front of the shop in the morning, but if they were to go elsewhere in the evening, they could still drink the anti-epidemic medicine nearby. This decision was simply a joyous one, and the dull atmosphere in the capital finally felt a tinge of life.
The imperial court was not idle either. Under the situation where the doctors were giving out free medicine, they had managed to gather a large amount of herbs and distribute them to the doctors. With everyone working together, the fear in the capital was no longer as great.
Good news also came from Jiining, saying that the epidemic situation had finally been contained and had not turned into an empty city in the end. Everyone was greatly relieved, and the citizens of the capital began to report to one another.
Although there were no relatives there, everyone shared the same sentiments. They were tormented by an unknown fear, and their nerves were about to break. They finally got the good news, how could they not be excited and moved.
It was only at this moment that everyone truly felt that, no matter how far or how far away they were, the borders of the Taishang was still a part of their family. There were even people who lit firecrackers to suppress the bad luck of the first few months.
By the time everything calmed down, it was already the end of summer. The various wives in Charity Hall had lost a lot of weight, but their reputation in the capital had become even more resounding, even surpassing that of their husbands in the imperial court.
Everyone in the capital knew that there was a Charity Hall in the capital. The Charity Hall was sponsored by many noble wives.
To prepare a doctor for medicine and to contact all the medical institutions in the capital to build a safe barrier around the capital, this was definitely a greater achievement than any political record.
After Qingluo finished her work, she laid on her bed and slept for two days before she regained some energy. After waking up, she saw that there was only Mo Liu guarding the room and was currently dozing off.
She quietly got up from the bed, not wanting to disturb Mo Liu. Walking out of the main house, she realised that everyone in the house was busy, walking with the wind.
She grabbed one of the servants and asked. At first, she was hesitant to tell him about it, but it was only later on that she realized that it was due to Qingluo's coercion and enticement.
When she returned to the house again, Mo Liu just happened to wake up at the same time. He was startled when he saw the wangfei walk in from the outside, "Wangfei, why didn't you wake up this servant?
"Ever since you went to bed, no one had ever dared to close their eyes. Your sleep for two days and two nights had scared us all, especially your highness. Your eyes were wide open until daybreak, afraid that something might happen to you."
When he mentioned the prince, Mo Liu immediately became spirited. He wasn't afraid of the prince berating him, "Princess, you don't know that the prince hasn't even gone to the yamen for the past two days, he's only staying at home to accompany you."
"When we get to the restaurant, I'll feed you some porridge. You're still half awake, the prince always feeds you until you're drenched in sweat." Qingluo rubbed her belly. No wonder she didn't feel hungry when she woke up. She had been fed.
"In the morning and evening, I have to wipe your face. The servants can't even stretch their hands out, and the prince won't let me. I'm afraid that you will suffer a little grievance. Princess, I'm afraid the servants are envious. Even when they married into ordinary houses, they have never met a husband like you."
"I've just been out for a while. What's this about me?" Just as Mo Liu finished speaking, Luo Qingqi's voice came out, and immediately after, the door curtain was lifted.
Luo Qingqi strode in, and saw Qingluo who was sitting beside the bed. He was pleasantly surprised, and with a few steps, he arrived at the bedside. Qingluo extended her arms wide, welcoming his arrival.
Luo Qingqi held Qingluo tightly in his embrace, and Qingluo hugged his waist tightly, "How long has it been since I last hugged you, you've already missed me!" Someone is beginning to act coquettishly again.
"I've thought about it. Weren't you busy recently? Not only am I busy, you're busy too. You didn't come to my house all day. If it's you, then it's not me. You're still busy." Although his words were full of complaints, his hands were tightening around someone else's waist.
"Qingluo, you've grown up today." The person with the birthdate was the oldest, moreover, it was such a big day when they were young, Luo Qingqi decided not to bother about it anymore.
"That's right, I'm too busy to remember. Have you prepared a beautiful hairpin for me?" Qingluo loosened her arm, raised her head and looked at Luo Qingqi.
"Of course I'm prepared. I've prepared many gifts for you. You have to slowly read them one by one." Qing Luo felt an itch in her heart when she heard Luo Qingqi's mysterious words, but she knew that it was impossible for Luo Qingqi to tell her about it now.
He could not help but scold softly, "Bad guy!"
Luo Qingqi shouted for Mo Liu to come in, "Hurry up and help Princess Huo Wu wash up, a guest will arrive in a moment, if you don't brush your hair and face, how can you meet others?
Qing Luo was so angry that she started laughing. She punched him with her little fist, then went in front of the washstand and had Mo Liu take care of it for her. Luo Qingqi took this opportunity to leave.
"Esteemed wangfei, you should eat first. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand this set of procedures." After cleaning up, Mo Liu served breakfast.
Although she was not really hungry, Qing Luo still listened to Mo Liu's advice and drank half a bowl of jujube and red bean porridge. She ate two small, three fresh buns, if not she would not be able to hold on for long.
"Princess, everything is ready. Let's go to the parlour." From outside came the sound of lime reporting, and then the curtain in the inner room was lifted and he trotted into the room, where he could see the faint beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Look at your forehead, it's full of sweat. Quickly wipe it off." Mo Liu quickly passed over a cotton towel. She dipped the ink on her forehead and did not dare to wipe it off, afraid that it would cause her makeup to go bad and delay him even more by putting it back on.
"Princess, there will be guests arriving soon. We have to go welcome them, I'm afraid there will be more guests today. Besides, Madame Jiang and Madam Wang are already here, both of them are waiting in the Flower Hall."
"The two of them aren't letting me call you yet, I just sneaked out." Mo Li made a move to leave. From the looks of it, he had indeed sneaked back.
"Mrs. Wang came alone?" Qing Luo asked from behind her, "No, Miss Zi Rou also came. It's just that she was restrained by Lady Wang and couldn't slip away."
Thinking about Wang Zirou's sullen behavior, Mo Li couldn't help but laugh. He turned around and told Qing Luo, "Mrs. Wang has pretty good eyesight, and told me to not let her cause trouble so you can rest a bit longer."
Seeing Mo Li's expression, Qing Luo knew how wronged the little girl was. She quickly stood up and led Mo Liu out.
"Aunt, Mrs. Wang, you're here so early?" "It's been hard on you, Lady Wang. You've had a lot of fatigue in the past few days, so I don't really want to give you this present."
"After all, I'm already a married man, so there's no need to make things so complicated like in a girl's house. Just thinking about gathering with my family would be enough, so I'll have to trouble you."
Qingluo was very grateful for Mrs. Wang's early arrival. Although she knew that Zou Rou must have driven her here early in the morning, it was all for her sake. Plus, she had come early, so she treated her as a friend.
"What do you mean 'trouble doesn't bother you'? We're already so familiar with each other, wouldn't it be better if I told everyone else? Besides, you and my daughter are close friends, so I have no choice but to come. What more can you not say?"
Wang Zirou immediately rushed over, "That's right, that's right, no matter what our relationship is, even if others do not come, it doesn't matter. If her mother hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed to the side of the bed a long time ago.
"Nonsense, it doesn't matter if other people don't come. Those who have a good relationship with you, you are the only one who can talk it out." Madam Wang quickly stopped her daughter, but Qingluo didn't seem to mind.
"Lady Wang, don't lecture ZiRou. I like her straightforward character. If it were those useless people, I wouldn't have taken them seriously."
"That's right, that's right. Qingluo likes me just like this." Madam Wang really had no way to deal with this kind of daughter of hers. Besides, she had the protection of an imperial concubine, so she could only let her be.
