Chapter 279: The Black Plague Appears

"Miss Wen, there is really no way, please come with me to Changfu Palace."

Wen Qingzhu nodded, followed Jiang Dejia inside, and asked at the same time, "Is the concubine unwell?" ”

"It's more than that." Jiang Dejia had a sad face and explained, "The situation is very complicated, you can see it when you look at it." ”

Without asking any more questions, Wen Qingzhu only followed Jiang Dejia for a long detour.

Half an hour later, I entered the side gate of Changfu Palace.

The leading grandmother is known to Wen Qingzhu, and she often followed Concubine Cheng before.

She led the way with an anxious face: "This way! This way! ”

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Wen Qingzhu finally arrived in Concubine Cheng's room.

The heavy curtains blocked most of the light, and the thick incense made Wen Qingzhu frown.

After arriving in the inner room, Wen Qingzhu saw the people in the house.

In addition to Concubine Cheng, who was lying on the field, the eldest princess Jiang Wuyang and the county lord of Pingshu were all here.

Concubine Hui waited on the side and beckoned to her: "Come here, drink this first." ”

Wen Qingzhu walked over and looked at a strange bowl of soup.

There was nothing wrong with sniffing, and she drank it all.

Standing beside Concubine Hui, Wen Qingzhu glanced at Concubine Cheng on the bed.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Concubine Cheng's face has large and small black spots, and some of them are even rotten and sore.

"Get out of the way!" The first thing that came to Wen Qingzhu's heart was the plague.

The symptoms of Concubine Cheng are too similar to the black plague in her previous life.

Only then did everyone turn around, and Wen Qingzhu found that Concubine Cheng's hand was helped.

"It's okay, the imperial doctor prescribed medicine, and the house was also lit with suppressed incense, and the concubine couldn't do without people." Concubine Hui patiently explained.

Wen Qingzhu subconsciously took a step back.

This black plague is not so simple.

However, what shocked Wen Qingzhu was that the black plague should have broken out in a small area in the south, how could it reach the palace?

Seeing her like this, Liang Pingshu suddenly stood up, stared at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "What do you mean by this!" I haven't seen my grandmother yet! What's more, you also drank a decoction of prevention, we are not afraid! What are you afraid of! Why are you so afraid of death! ”

"That's not what I meant......" Wen Qingzhu didn't know how to explain.

In the previous life, the black plague in the south did not reach the capital at all.

Officials in the south also reported fewer than 10,000 casualties.

But later, Wen Qingzhu learned through Jiang Yuancheng's secret documents that the number of casualties of the black plague in the south had exceeded 200,000.

The reason why no one refutes the figure of less than 10,000 is because almost everyone who knows about it is dead.

At that time, she started to deal with these documents for Jiang Yuancheng and learned a lot of things.

For example, the specific symptoms of the black plague are like a concubine in front of you in the middle stage.

"Then what do you mean!" Liang Pingshu thought of the previous incident, and after adding today's incident, she was haunted in her heart.

Now every time I look at Wen Qingzhu, I always feel that she is gentle and calm on the surface, and she can't tell what the black hand behind her is calculating.

"It's the plague, you know?" Wen Qingzhu no longer entangled with Liang Pingshu, and turned to look at Concubine Hui.

But I saw Concubine Hui nodding: "I know, the high court said that the plague in the south a few days ago was like this, but it is not clear how it was transmitted to the concubine." ”

"This plague is not simple, it is not just a matter of taking preventive medicine and lighting incense." Wen Qingzhu didn't know how to explain it.

200,000 people, and the local officials did not run away.

If it spreads in the palace, Wen Qingzhu's expression will become serious.

She said to Concubine Hui: "I want to see the judgment of the High Court." ”

"Don't worry, he'll be back in half an hour." Liang Pingshu looked at Wen Qingzhu's appearance, and always felt that she was unwilling to treat Concubine Cheng.

Wen Qingzhu nodded, hesitated, and said to the eldest princess: "Your Highness, I will reopen a prescription here, and I will explain other precautions to you, is it okay?" ”

Jiang Wuyang handed Concubine Cheng's hand to the waiting grandmother, turned around, and her eyes were still red.

She nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Wen Qingzhu immediately turned around and went out, asked the palace maid to give her pen and ink, quickly wrote the prescription, and handed it to her to go to the Tai Hospital to grab medicine.

She also instructed the other palace maids: "Go and get two white vinegar immediately, the higher the concentration, the better." ”

"What do you want white vinegar for?" Concubine Hui came out with her, and when she saw Wen Qingzhu so dignified, her mood was also heavy.

"Sanitize." Wen Qingzhu said, white vinegar has an effect, and it is still a very useful thing that the people of the Medicine God Valley found after several plagues.

After a while, the high court came over ahead of schedule and brought the medicine boy from last time.

"Miss Wen, you're here." The high court judgment was very polite, "The prescription you prescribed is two different from mine, but what is the difference?" ”

Wen Qingzhu thought for a while, but still said the truth: "These two are specifically targeting this black plague. ”

"Black plague?" The High Court took note of her statement, "What do you say? ”

Wen Qingzhu explained: "The reason why it is called black plague is because people who are infected with this disease will have black spots all over their bodies, and finally the black spots will ulcerate and pus, and the body will not recover and die, and the contagion is extremely high, and the weaker the body, the easier it is to be infected." ”

The High Court judge nodded slowly, and suddenly asked, "Miss Wen has seen this epidemic before?" ”

Seeing that he was suspicious, Wen Qingzhu made up a reason: "I have seen it in the book." ”

High Court Judgment: ......

The palace maid outside came in with a new decoction, Wen Qingzhu asked everyone to take it one by one, and then asked Jiang Wuyang's opinion and began to sprinkle white vinegar in the house.

"This white vinegar?" The high court looked at the palace maid who was busy in the house, and asked Wen Qingzhu hesitantly.

Wen Qingzhu, who was standing at the door, had no change in his face, and said lightly: "I read it in the book." ”

The high court decided not to ask any more, and when the white vinegar was finished, he also walked to the door.

Wen Qingzhu was found looking at a bird under the corridor.

That bird has colorful feathers on its body, and if it can become a concubine here, it must be a bird with a beautiful call.

Ordinary birds are very lively, but this one in front of me is cowardly, shrugging its head, lying on the bottom of the cage, and only raising its head once for a long time.

"Where did this bird come from?" Wen Qingzhu stopped a palace maid who was about to enter the house. Bookbag netting

The palace maid looked at it with her eyes, was startled, and turned around to run over.

Wen Qingzhu grabbed her: "Wait! That is most likely the source of infection. ”

The palace maid was startled, and quickly stopped and told her: "This is after the New Year's banquet, the south thought that the officials sent it. ”

"Who exactly?" Wen Qingzhu frowned, why didn't this kind of thing be investigated.

Liang Pingshu's voice came from behind: "It was Governor Zhang of Lingcheng who sent someone to the capital." ”

Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at Liang Pingshu: "Which Governor Zhang?" ”

"Zhang Chunnian, the local prominent family of the Zhang family in Lingcheng, ranks ninth in terms of seniority." Liang Pingshu looked at Wen Qingzhu with eyes and said word by word.

After listening to her words, Wen Qingzhu said: "You'd better send someone to find out where this bird really came from, if nothing else, I'm afraid that there is already a plague in the south." ”

"Are you so sure?"

Liang Pingshu was talking, and the high court judgment on the other end had already walked over.

He put on a glove, opened the cage, and caught the bird out.

After lifting the feathers from the bird's body, the High Court sentenced him; His face was gloomy: "It is indeed this bird, it also has black spots on its body, which is covered by feathers, and cannot be easily discovered." ”

Wen Qingzhu walked over and looked at the high court judgment to lift the feathers on the bird's abdomen.

What appeared in front of me were large and small dark spots, and the symptoms were already serious.

"Take it and burn it immediately!" The High Court sentenced him to crash the condom into a cloth bag and hand it over to the medicine boy who was with him.

Wen Qingzhu glanced at him, found that he smiled flatteringly, and then left with the cloth bag.

Liang Pingshu clenched her fists, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Qinghu!" Send someone to check! ”

After a while, the medicine boy from before ran back in panic.

He was still holding his right hand, and tears fell uncontrollably: "My lord! Oh no! The bird was snatched away by Princess Yijia! ”

"What!" The high court's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly pointed outside, "Quick!" Take me there! ”

Watching them leave in a hurry, Wen Qingzhu became more and more puzzled.

How could it be so coincidental that Jiang Yijia bumped into it.

Wen Qingzhu walked in and told Concubine Hui about it.

Concubine Hui's face changed abruptly, and it took a long time before she turned to Jiang Wuyang and said, "Eldest princess, the original bird of the source of infection was taken away by Princess Yijia!" ”

Jiang Wuyang took a deep breath, looked at Concubine Cheng behind him, and finally looked outside.

She struggled in her heart for a long time, and finally walked to the door of the house: "Someone! Go with this palace to meet Your Majesty! ”

Jiang Wuyang left, and Concubine Hui stayed to take care of Concubine Cheng.

Wen Qingzhu stood at the door, looking at the clouds in the sky.

She already had a premonition, and a new round of bloody rain was set off again.

The bird was obviously brought in on purpose, and the target was Cheng Taifei.

So now, whose path is Concubine Cheng in the way?

Li Guifei's?

There is no need for her to let Jiang Yijia go down in person.

With such a direct and vicious method, Wen Qingzhu couldn't think of anyone else.

Then there is only Yun Wan of the Ice Palace.

Jiang Yuancheng really wants to win the heir, and the resistance is the greatest.

Even if the crown prince is abolished, according to the power of the maternal family, the position of the concubine, it is the turn of King Ning instead of Jiang Yuancheng.

Concubine Cheng is a very disciplined person.

If King Jing grows upβ€”

Wait a minute! King Jing!

Wen Qingzhu suddenly turned around, ran to the house, and asked Concubine Hui: "Niangniang!" King Jing's sideβ€”"

"Not good." Concubine Hui turned to leave, but suddenly stopped.

Wen Qingzhu felt strange: "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Dejia, who followed up, explained: "My father has ordered it, and no one is allowed to approach Qingning Palace without his orders in the future, including His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but hold his forehead.

What is this called?

After hesitating for a long time, Wen Qingzhu asked Jiang Dejia: "Is General Lu still in the palace now?" ”

"Not right now." Jiang Dejia shook his head.

Wen Qingzhu only felt that one head and two were big, and looked at Jiang Dejia and said, "Is there a way for the princess to deliver the news to General Lu the fastest?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Dejia nodded, called a palace maid who was close to her, whispered a few words, and the palace maid left quickly.

But Jiang Dejia still had doubts: "The eldest princess went directly to her father, wouldn't it be good to tell her father directly?" ”

"Fight the grass and startle the snake, with General Lu here, it is best to take it in one fell swoop." Wen Qingzhu actually had another worry in his heart, that is, Concubine Wan probably didn't make a move on King Jing.

It's just that King Jing's weak body, even if she doesn't do it, and is messed up by Jiang Yijia like this, if the black plague really spreads in the palace, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Jiang Dejia nodded, but Wen Qingzhu was still worried.

There is also the dog on the other side of the cold palace, I don't know if he can survive this time.

At the same time, on the side of the cold palace.

A layer of tiny black spots appeared on the dog's chin and neck, and his whole body curled up in a ball, shivering.

In front of him, there were also several big black rats, running around unscrupulously.

The dog was terrified, he had never seen such a big mouse in the cold palace.

It's horrible!

After his finger was bitten by a rat two days ago, he developed a high fever that night.

He didn't have the strength to look for food for the past two days.

Suddenly, tears flowed out of his eyes, and his mouth trembled and shouted in a low voice: "Sister Bamboo......"
