Chapter 249 Do you still want the famous festival?
Li Zian was wrapped tightly by Fan Yuru from head to toe, with only one pair of eyes exposed. If Shen Tianshu hadn't shouted out, no one else would have recognized him at first sight.
Shen Zhonglei used the light of the torch to take a closer look and saw clearly the red mole at the corner of the visitor's eye. Then he quickly knelt down and saluted, "I'd like to see you, Prince Wang."
"See Prince Wang." Others had never gotten close enough to see Li Zian's appearance before, and now they were even more confused. Seeing Shen Zhonglei acting like this, they quickly knelt down and saluted.
"No need to be polite at this time, everyone get up!"
When Shen Zhonglei stood up, his feet went weak and he stumbled and almost fell.
Fortunately, the young man behind him had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold him up, which prevented Shen Zhonglei from losing his official dignity in front of Li Zian.
After standing firm, Shen Zhonglei still couldn't help but feel flustered, his hands were shaking, and his legs were even a little weak.
Although Mrs. Tong just said that this was probably not an epidemic, and he agreed with those analyses, when he saw Li Zian appearing here, he still wanted to throw the person into the car immediately and send him far away. It was best to directly Send it back to Wuchang Mansion!
This is the only seedling in Prince Rui's palace, the crown prince personally named by the emperor!
If something happens to a person in Yongzhou Mansion, his official career will really end.
At that time, let alone performance evaluation and promotion, it is not certain whether you can save your head.
What on earth is wrong with this man? Even if he just wants to show that he loves the people as his own son, there is no need to put himself in danger like this!
Although he was not like Shen Zhonglei who kept beating his chest in his heart, Shen Tianshu was also really surprised.
She never expected that Li Zian would come. Didn't he even consider the risks involved?
Although she was basically certain that this was not an epidemic, Li Zian didn't know.
If he doesn't take it seriously himself, why don't the people below stop him?
With his status, if something happens in Yongzhou Mansion, who knows how many innocent people will be implicated!
Thinking of this, Shen Tianshu couldn't help but glare at Li Zian, his eyes full of disapproval.
Unexpectedly, there were too many torches around at this time, illuminating the intersection brightly. Her glance was clearly visible to the people on Juma's side.
"How bold! How dare you be rude to the Crown Prince!" Jiang Hong immediately seized the opportunity to gain Li Zian's favor and jumped out to criticize him.
Shen Zhonglei had a good impression of Mrs. Tong. Seeing that she was so ignorant of etiquette, he couldn't help but worry about her. He wanted to open his mouth to help her smooth things over, but because he was not sure about Li Zian's temper, he hesitated for a while.
Li Zian felt quite relieved by this glare, and even the previous depression in his heart was swept away, and there was a faint smile in the corners of his eyes.
He was so public this time because he wanted to support Shen Tianshu so that her stepmother would not dare to bully her again.
Who would have thought that in such an unexpected situation, the banquet would have ended hastily before there was even a chance to do anything.
But now that I'm here, it's the same as supporting Mrs. Tong, since we're all alone anyway.
So he ignored Jiang Hong and said directly to Shen Tianshu: "How is the situation inside now? Madam Tong, please tell me in detail."
His tone was simply too polite, especially after Shen Tianshu had just "glared" at him.
Jiang Hong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his knees became weak and he almost knelt down.
He was just proud that he reacted faster than Shen Zhonglei. Who would have thought that flattering him would end up being slapped on the hoof?
Those who were ready to agree with Jiang Hong immediately drew back their necks, unable to help but wonder, what is the relationship between Lady Tong and Prince Wang?
"As expected, it is not a current epidemic, and no human-to-human transmission has been found for the time being."
As soon as Shen Tianshu finished speaking, Xie Yan, who she had sent to investigate Leqiao Hutong, happened to come back.
"Did you find anything out?"
Xie Yan stepped forward and saluted Li Zian and all the adults, and then said: "I visited several households near Leqiao Hutong, and none of them knew the person who set up a stall here in the morning to deliver rice wine.
"But in these families, those who drank the free rice wine for free, no matter men, women, old or young, without exception, all suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, while those who had not drank were fine.
"From this point of view, Mrs. Tong's guess should be correct. This time dozens of people fell ill at the same time, not because of the epidemic, but because of rice wine."
Hearing this, Li Zi'an said: "In that case, this horse can be removed. We can't let Mrs. Tong spend the night in a place like this."
Shen Zhonglei's heart was instantly aroused. Regardless of whether it was an epidemic or not, now was definitely not a good time to withdraw from the army.
What is the relationship between this lady Tong and the prince?
Before Shen Zhonglei could figure out how to persuade Li Zian to change his mind, Shen Tianshu had already shaken his head and said: "Sir, for the sake of safety, it is better not to withdraw the troops for the time being. Even if it is not an epidemic, dozens of patients are real.
"Withdrawing the resistance horses now will easily cause the people in the southwest corner to flee in panic, and people in other areas of the city will also panic. This is not conducive to the resolution of the matter, and it is easy for bad guys to take advantage of it."
Shen Zhonglei wiped his sweat after hearing this, thinking that luckily Madam Tong was reliable, and quickly agreed: "Master, Madam Tong's words are very reasonable. Why don't you just wrong Madam Tong for one night, and your subordinates will send someone immediately?" What do you think of tidying up a clean place for Mrs. Tong?"
Li Zian is not a playboy who is ignorant of world affairs. Of course he knows these problems in his heart.
But if Shen Tianshu is allowed to stay here overnight, not to mention whether the southwest corner is clean or safe, the Shen family alone cannot explain it.
He was thinking about her, but all she could think about was these things!
Li Zian couldn't help but glare at Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu said: "I have already prescribed the medicine before and sent it out. Depending on the time, the medicine should be almost ready. After the patient takes the medicine, he will see if his condition improves and then he will know whether my judgment is correct."
Li Zi'an just wanted to say that even if he didn't remove the enemy, he could still let Shen Tianshu come out first.
But before the words came out, I heard someone behind me shouting: "The medicine is ready, the medicine is here."
I saw an officer pushing a cart over. There were two large pots on the cart, and the steaming pot was the freshly brewed soup.
The soldiers hurriedly moved their horses, opened a path that could accommodate carts, and delivered the decoction.
When Tan Xu saw the medicine coming, he immediately stepped forward to take it from the cart and said, "Ms. Tong, I'll push the cart a little further inside and ask the sick people to come over and get the medicine."
"Okay, I've got Dr. Tan, I'll be there right away." After Shen Tianshu finished speaking, he glanced at Li Zian meaningfully and said, "I'll stay here tonight so that if anything happens, I can respond in time. , As for my family, I can only ask the prince to send someone to deliver a message and say something for me. I am also doing this for the people in the city, so I am sure my family will understand."
Li Zian did not expect that Shen Tianshu would directly throw this problem to him.
How could he deliver this message when the virgin didn't come home at night and couldn't reveal her identity or explain the reason?
Is it possible to say that people were left behind by him? Do we still need our reputation?
