Ning Wan was in the warehouse and divided the people inside into areas according to the severity of their illnesses. Zi Su led people to bring the medicine stove and set up a stove outside the warehouse, ready to boil medicine at any time.
The people from Eucommia Thatched Cottage were responsible for transporting medicinal materials. Everything was going on in an orderly manner, but Leng Li suddenly broke in.
"Miss Ning, what's wrong, the Eighth Prince is here, and he... wants to burn to death all the people here who are infected with the epidemic!"
Ning Wan was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked: "Are you saying that His Highness the Eighth Prince, Lord Supervisor He Lianhong, wants to burn everyone here?"
Leng Li nodded and said: "The Eighth Prince is outside. Master Zhao wanted to stop him, but he was taken away by the Royal Forest Army!"
While they were talking, the Royal Forest Army surrounded the place. Ning Wan heard the screams, and someone rushed in without fear of death. Ning Wan quickly spoke out to stop them.
"Gentlemen, please stay. The people here are all infected with the epidemic. If you come in like this, aren't you afraid that the disease will spread to you?" After Ning Wan finished speaking, these people stopped in their tracks.
The Eighth Prince walked in from the outside and saw that the people inside were all refugees in ragged clothes. A trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and there were many old, weak, women and children here. To burn so many people to death, the Eighth Prince's heart was spinning.
swaying.
"The king was ordered to burn the refugees who were infected with the epidemic. Miss Ning, this is the emperor's order!" As he said this, he motioned to the imperial guards to go over and arrest Ning Wan and take him away.
When the people heard this, they were all anxious and rushed towards the imperial guards.
"Aren't you official servants? Why do official servants want to arrest doctors who treat diseases? Also, what do you mean by burning the refugees? Don't you official servants want to burn us to death?"
"Folks, folks, come quickly, the officials are going to kill us, come quickly!"
The people, all infected with the epidemic, surrounded a group of Imperial Guards and the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince looked at this scene and said with a cold expression: "I have come here under the emperor's order. Do you want to resist the order?"
"Under the emperor's order? The emperor wants to kill us, the emperor wants to kill us! Okay, come on, you guys kill us. Anyway, we are dead, our family suffered a disaster, and now we are sick. We thought we could make a living in the capital.
Eat, but I didn’t expect that the emperor would kill us!”
More and more people came around. Ning Wan looked at He Lianhong. She actually wanted to see how a prince who was about to be canonized would deal with these refugees.
"This matter is not what I want, and I am offended, fellow villagers!"
The Imperial Forest Army had already drawn their swords. Seeing this, Ning Wan pushed aside the crowd and stood at the front.
"Your Highness, you are the Supervisor of the Great Yan Court. They are all my subjects of Dayan. They have been displaced due to disasters. Now that they are suffering from the epidemic, it is even worse! As an official of the imperial court, you should treat the people, but
But if you want to kill them, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the people of Yan State?"
He Lianhong looked at Ning Wan and admired her in his heart. Ever since he came into contact with Ning Wan, he has been attracted by Ning Wan's magnanimity. Now, she is not afraid of power and speaks for the people with great justice.
He Lianhong was shocked.
"Miss Ning, you have been married to the emperor's uncle, and you are already half a member of the royal family. I am kind enough to take you out for the sake of the emperor's uncle. You are blocking me like this, but you are resisting the decree.
!”
Ning Wan was not frightened by these words, but knelt down in front of He Lianhong and said: "I know that Your Highness is a kind and kind person. Look at them. They are the Great Yan Jiangshan.
Support the backbone of the Yanjiang Mountains! A king should love his people like a son, otherwise why should he be a king!"
"Miss Ning, you are so presumptuous, how dare you say such disobedient words! If your father hears these words, you will not survive!" He Lianhong said urgently.
The emperor was naturally suspicious, so it would not be a good thing if her words reached his ears.
"Now, we are all going to be burned to death, so why should we care about this? I have a proposal, and please accept it, Your Highness!"
He Lianhong nodded and said, "Miss Ning, if you have any opinions, it doesn't matter!"
Ning Wan held up his hands and said respectfully: "Give me a few days to treat these refugees who are infected with the epidemic. If they get better, please go to the emperor to plead for mercy and spare their lives!"
After Ning Wan finished speaking, the people also knelt down and said: "Please help your highness, please save us poor people!"
The people in the warehouses all kowtowed to He Lianhong. He Lianhong looked at this scene, but there were two thoughts conflicting in his heart. There were more than a hundred people infected with the epidemic in the two warehouses. If they all were killed,
It is not difficult to burn them all, but it is difficult not to spread this matter.
Once He Lianhong does such a thing, he may lose his prestige among the people in the future, so He Lianhong is actually very cautious when doing things.
"Miss Ning, this matter concerns human life. Are you sure you can really cure the epidemic?"
Ning Wan cupped her hands and said, "Give me five days, and I will do my best to treat you. If you still don't get better after five days, I am willing to share the same sin with these people!"
