"Where is the emperor?" Zi Qing said that his grandfather was fine, and Xie Yao's top priority was to see Chu Han immediately.
The virus is extremely contagious, and even if she has an antidote, she must race against time. Otherwise, even if she has an antidote, there will be no way to stop the spread of the virus.
"The Emperor... seems to be in the royal study. It is said that a woman appeared among the people, claiming that she can cure the plague, on condition that..." Zi Qing said half-way, shut up quickly, and secretly glanced at Xie Yao.
When Xie Yao heard that Chu Han was in the imperial study, she turned around and left without having time to take care of anything else.
Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, but soon became nervous again, whispering to herself, "What should I do? That woman seems to be in the imperial study room too. If the Queen bumps into her... no way!"
"Empress, wait for me!" Zi Qing chased Xie Yao's back.
Xie Yao directly increased his speed to the limit. Zi Qing could not catch up, and he reached the imperial study room in a short time.
When the guard at the door saw Xie Yao, he was overjoyed at first, "Queen, you are back! Are you here to see the emperor? The emperor..."
Just as he was about to make a gesture of invitation, the movement stopped abruptly and he quickly retracted, "Empress, the Emperor is dealing with important matters. Please send a message."
"No need." Xie Yao was worried about the spread of the virus. She didn't even visit her grandfather. She didn't have time to let him communicate, so she rushed in directly.
In the imperial study room, there were only two people at this time, a man and a woman.
The man is naturally Chu Han, and there is a gentle woman who is dressed in cool clothes and looks charming.
At this moment, the woman was wrapped around Chu Han, her figure was graceful and she was showing off to the best of her ability.
Seeing someone coming, the woman made a move and quickly took it back, lowering her head as if nothing happened. But she was secretly annoyed in her heart: How dare you even break into the royal study? This queen is really pampered to the heavens. She is so alive.
Tired of it!
Chu Han was obviously relieved and walked over quickly. Seeing Xie Yao's expression, his dark eyes were filled with mixed joy and sorrow, "Yaoer, you are back."
"Yes." Xie Yao glanced at the woman coldly, then returned her eyes to Chu Han, and asked in a calm tone, "How wide is the spread of the plague?"
Chu Han paused and said, "We can't be sure at the moment. As soon as we discovered that someone outside the general's mansion was infected with the plague, I immediately ordered the city to be closed down, but some people still took the opportunity to escape. I have sent people to chase them. I hope there will be no more people outside the city."
It’s fine if new people get infected.”
Xie Yao nodded, as she expected.
A plague breaks out in the General's Mansion, and everyone in the capital has been panicking for a long time. Suddenly someone outside the mansion is infected, and those who see the situation early will naturally want to escape. No one can stop this kind of thing.
"How many people escaped from the capital?"
"I've met the Queen." The woman suddenly came over and offered her greetings in a bright voice.
Xie Yao ignored it and looked at Chu Han. This number is very important.
"There are eighty-seven people in total, eighty-four have been recovered so far, and three people are still missing." Chu Han said in a deep voice, with a touch of uneasiness in his voice that was difficult to detect.
"What is the scope of infection in the capital? I see people walking back and forth on the streets." Xie Yao continued to understand.
"People are prohibited from going to the streets for twelve hours a day. Only people buying firewood, rice, oil and salt can go out." Chu Han remembered Xie Yao's purpose of going back and asked: "Is there any way to treat it?"
"Yes." Xie Yao nodded, secretly calculating the approximate degree and scope of the infection, and did not ask any more questions.
The worry in Chu Han's black eyes also faded a little.
At this moment, the woman spoke again: "The Queen has a way to cure the plague? The Queen may not know it, but now the plague is spreading extremely fast and is completely out of control. It is no longer as easy to deal with as it was only in the general's mansion.
"
"Your Majesty, you are in front of the Emperor, so please be careful what you say!"
Xie Yao dared to boast in front of the emperor that Haikou had cured the plague? What a joke! No one in the world could cure this disease!
Xie Yao had a rough estimate of the current situation of the plague, and then looked over, then looked at Chu Han, "Did you find this person?"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Chu Han suddenly coughed cautiously, waving his hands while coughing, "It's not me! It was the Royal Forest Army patrolling the city who found someone who claimed to be able to cure the plague, so they brought him directly to me."
The guard outside the royal study happened to hear these words through the open door, and his jaw dropped in shock!
The emperor can actually lie? It was clearly the emperor who said that a dead horse should be treated as a living horse, so he let people pass that woman into the palace.
The woman noticed that the emperor's attitude towards the queen was wrong, and frowned, "Queen, the emperor is the king of a country and the master of all the kingdoms. No one can be above the emperor. Otherwise, it will be a crime of disrespect, or even a crime of treason."
!”
"Here comes someone." Chu Han suddenly raised his voice.
"I'm here to serve you." The guard trotted in.
"This woman has slandered the Queen, take her away and deal with her according to law." Chu Han directly ordered.
"Yes!" The guard went over to grab the woman and dragged her out.
The woman was frightened and confused, "Your Majesty! The women of the people are here to help you cure the plague, Your Majesty! You can't be so ruthless to the women of the people! Without the women of the people, the plague is raging! If the Empress could really cure the plague, there would be no sudden epidemic before.
Disappear! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Shut up!" The guard knocked the woman unconscious in disgust, and then she became quiet.
Xie Yao never looked at it again, secretly calculating the number of medicinal materials in her heart.
If the medicines used to relieve the condition are replaced with other medicines, and the dosage is reduced and the treatment period is extended, the medicines in her hand can treat up to 300 people.
Before she left, the number of infected people in the General's Mansion and outside was already around 200. Now with this outbreak, there may not be enough medicinal materials.
What about the rest of the people?
"Yao'er?" Chu Han saw that the worry in Xie Yao's eyes not only did not fade away, but became even stronger. "What are you worried about?"
Xie Yao thought for a while and then told everything.
Chu Han also fell silent, and then spoke again after a moment, "Previously, a minister in the court suggested that all people suffering from the plague should be arrested and killed, and the corpses should be burned to stop the plague."
"I'm not allowed. However, if the medicinal materials are really not enough, I can have people place them up and take care of them all the time. Although they will still get sick, at least they will not infect others, and they can be regarded as dead ghosts."
When he said these words, Chu Han's voice was low, trying his best to hide his helpless emotions.
Xie Yao didn't respond either. Theoretically speaking, this is the least damaging way and also the most helpless way.
Moreover, she had already taken out all the medicinal materials when she came back. Even if she went back to find the medicinal materials, she didn't know how long it would take.
At this time, a guard reported, "To report to the Emperor, someone said there is a way to cure the plague and asked to see the Emperor!"
"No." Chu Han didn't even ask.
"The other party also wrote a prescription." The guard added.
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, took the prescription and looked at it, she was shocked!
All the medicinal materials she brought back were on it!
