Heping Town. Lu Zhiyun was lying on the bed. Not only were the two doctors he brought with him standing next to him, but there were also a dozen doctors from Heping Town who were all in this room.
Xie Chengjin's eyes were red and he looked at the county magistrate with a dead look in his eyes.
The county magistrate was shaking like chaff and said: "Your Majesty, I have really tried my best. I don't know where the source of the epidemic is and I can't find it. I don't even know how Miss Lu contracted the epidemic."
"Before we came here, more than a dozen people died in Heping Town. You have been investigating for so long and you still haven't found the source of the disease?"
"Because those dozen people died so tragically that the doctors did not dare to investigate in detail," the county magistrate said.
"Do you know who she is?" Xie Chengjin looked at the county magistrate, "If there is anything wrong with her, you and your family will not be able to escape."
"I know it, and I don't want anything to happen to Miss Lu." That is the prime minister's daughter, and he still holds the golden order given by the emperor. He, a small official, cannot afford to offend such a person. This is simply a disaster.
Falling from heaven.
Xie Chengjin looked at the doctors: "And you, if you don't want to die, the source of this epidemic must be found, and a cure must be found, otherwise not a single person in Heping Town will survive."
"Before we find the source of the epidemic, what we can do now is to clean the room first like when the plague spread in previous years, disinfect what needs to be disinfected, and burn what needs to be burned. As for the rest, we can only find a way." One of them said.
The doctor said.
"Why don't you do it then?"
The doctors went to think of a solution.
Servants clean the room.
Xie Chengjin sat by the bed and looked at Lu Zhiyun, whose face had turned pale and there were many pustules on his hands.
They rested in the inn that day. When they woke up the next day, Xie Chengjin went to the inn lobby to have a meal. After waiting for a long time, Lu Zhiyun went upstairs to look for her, only to find that she and her maid were unconscious.
"Your Majesty, this disease is going to be contagious, you'd better go out first! It would be too dangerous to stay in the same room with Miss Lu like this again," the subordinate warned.
"She loves beauty very much. If she wakes up and finds this thing on her hand, she will definitely be sad. I have to stay here to prevent her from scratching the thing on her hand, which will leave scars." Xie Chengjin said.
Lu Zhiyun pinched the quilt.
The subordinate wanted to say something else, but another subordinate grabbed him and dragged him out.
"You still don't know what the prince is thinking? Even if you talk nonsense at this time, the prince will never abandon Miss Lu. Besides, if it weren't for Miss Lu, all of us would be dead. It's better not to persuade the prince at this time.
"
Even if I try to persuade you, you won’t listen.
"I'm worried about your lord."
"I'm worried too. Is there any use in worrying? The most important thing now is to solve the problem."
The epidemic in Heping Town did not end, and many more people were infected with the disease.
The entire Heping Town was filled with panic.
"Your Majesty," the subordinate walked in, "the prefect sent a team to blockade Heping Town. I heard that they wanted to set fire to the entire Heping Town."
Xie Chengjin looked at his subordinates: "What did you say?"
"The local prefect wants to wipe out Heping Town and use massacre and destruction to stop the spread of the disease. Now they have blocked the roads in Heping Town. It is said that people here are not allowed to enter or exit. Anyone who dares to break out will be shot to death."
"You take our people and the Lu family's people and arrest that idiot prefect, and don't allow him to make his own decisions."
"yes."
Xie Chengjin stood up, picked up the tea next to him and took a sip.
Suddenly, he spit out the tea in his mouth.
"Someone is coming..."
"Your Majesty..."
The subordinates walked in.
"There's something wrong with this water. Take it to the doctor to check."
"yes."
Just after his subordinates left, Lu Zhiyun, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
"I'm so tired. Why don't I have any strength?"
"Don't move." Xie Chengjin came over and touched her forehead to make sure it wasn't hot, and then she felt relieved.
"What's wrong with me?"
Lu Zhiyun noticed something was wrong.
She was lying on the bed in the inn, and Xie Chengjin looked at her strangely, as if she was sick.
"You were in a coma for three days."
"Why?" Lu Zhiyun wanted to sit up, but found many pustules on the back of her hands.
She was startled and reached out to touch the pustule, but Xie Chengjin grabbed her hand.
"Do you still remember the peaceful killing of more than a dozen people?"
"Remember."
"We stayed at the inn that day. The next day, I was waiting for you to have breakfast but I didn't wait for you. I went to look for you in the room and found that you and your girl were unconscious. After that, you developed these things."
"So, what infectious disease did I contract?"
"This disease is indeed contagious, and I don't know how you got infected. Except for you and your girl, everyone else is fine. However, during the three days when you were comatose, many people in Heping Town got sick one after another, and some even died.
A lot of people came.”
"Then what are you doing here?" Lu Zhiyun said, "Get out quickly and don't stay with me."
"It's late. I've been guarding you for three days. If you were infected, you would have been infected by now." Xie Chengjin said, "I can only feed you some porridge these days. Are you hungry? I asked them to send you some food.
come over."
Lu Zhiyun looked at Xie Chengjin's figure.
She didn't know why, but she felt a little stuck in her heart.
She slowly sat up, slowly got out of bed and walked towards the mirror.
She looked haggard in the mirror, her face was pale, and her eyes were bruised. No matter how good she looked, she was so sick and still had a contagious disease, which was actually considered ugly.
That man was still guarding her. What was he thinking?
"Here comes someone."
"Miss." The nurse from the Lu family came over.
"Stand at the door and don't come in." Lu Zhiyun stopped him, "Lock this door for me, seal the doors and windows, and don't allow anyone to come in."
"Miss, this is not okay!"
"This disease is going to be contagious. Let's do this until we find the source of the disease!" Lu Zhiyun said, "I can't let you take risks with me. And King Jin, he wants to return to Fenglin Kingdom, so he can't stay here."
After saying these few words, Lu Zhiyun lost all strength.
She returned to the bed and lay back.
When Xie Chengjin came back with the food, he saw that the doors and windows were sealed. He looked at the nursing home next to him: "What's going on?"
"The lady's order is that no one is allowed in." The nurse couldn't stand Xie Chengjin's eyes and told the truth.
"Nonsense." Xie Chengjin handed the plate to the nurse.
Bang! He kicked open the door.
There was a clang and the door fell down.
Lu Zhiyun was startled inside and saw Xie Chengjin standing at the door, staring at him displeased.
"You are not the only patient in Heping Town. Even if you are sealed inside, it will be useless. The symptoms of others are much more serious than yours. Don't worry about it, eat well, keep your spirits up, and wait for the doctor to prepare the medicine.
