Chapter 42 Crow's Mouth (Part 2)

In the East Palace, shortly after Li Jing left, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji came to see each other. After saluting, he said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty has something wrong. There have been several cases of slaughtering at the left and right guards. Two people have died. There are also patients in the sixteen guards. Now the army is in panic. I have ordered the army to temporarily block the camp. I hope Your Majesty will decide what to do next."

"What?" Li Er stood up suddenly, and his good mood disappeared: "Why did you just reply at this time?"

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, the military Chinese medicine officials only regarded it as ordinary wind and cold. Unexpectedly, in just two days, the patient's condition became worse and worse. Only then did he know that Liang's cold was not the wind and cold."

The slalom, also known as malaria, in ancient times without penicillin, as long as it was stained, it was equivalent to stepping into the coffin with half a foot. More deaths were made and less alive.

Moreover, this disease is similar to a cold when it first occurs. If it weren’t for an experienced old doctor, it would be difficult to tell at a glance.

Although Li Er knew it, he was so anxious that he had no intention of thinking about it. He punched the table hard: "These quack doctors!"

Du Ruhui was in charge of the Ministry of War, and he had done such a big thing before he could hand over Li Jing, and he was also upset.

But I think about it and no one blamed me. The medical officers in the army can't even understand the trauma. Do you really expect them to detect the epidemic in advance?

Thinking of this, Du Ruhui continued: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Although the blockade of the military camps can temporarily control the spread of news, if it takes a long time, I am afraid that there will be a risk of mutiny. I hope Your Majesty will have an idea of ​​how to deal with it."

When talking about the mutiny, Li Er was shocked: "Where is the Imperial Hospital? Is there any way for the Imperial Hospital?"

"When I came, I ordered someone to go to the Imperial Hospital. I guess..." Old Du was speaking when an old voice came from outside the room: "Your Majesty, I will pay my respects."

"Come in quickly." Li Er knew in his heart that even the Imperial Hospital would not have any good solutions, but he still called Lao Jin in: "Aiqing Jin, you should already know the situation."

Doctor Jin said seriously: "I already know, but I personally think that the most important thing at the moment is to block the forbidden palace. Idle people are not allowed to enter the palace. Otherwise, if the epidemic spreads to the palace, it will be even more difficult."

Li Er's expression changed again: "Jin Aiqing, can you be sure it's an epidemic?"

Doctor Jin shook his head: "It's not certain yet, but it's always good to prevent it in advance so as not to be caught off guard."

"Okay, then follow what my dear said. Lin Xi, you go and pass the imperial edict. From now on, the forbidden palace will be closed. Those who have no orders will not be allowed to enter or exit. Those who violate the order will be killed."

"promise."

"Also, the command to enter the palace quickly with Duke Li Jing, Duke Li Jie of the British, Chai Shao, General of the Left Guard, and General of the Right Guard, Hou Junji, and General of the Right Guard."

"promise!"

After a series of orders, the guards of the palace became nervous first, and the wind and cranes were heard and the plants and trees were all soldiers.

Changsun, the lord of the harem, naturally received the news. He was nervous and brought Li Tai and Changle, who was under six years old, to Yiqiuyuan.

Li Chengqian was bored and hurried in the yard to recite the book. Suddenly, Empress Changsun appeared nervously, and couldn't help but wonder: "Mother, why are you here? Second brother and eldest sister are here too. Is something wrong?"

Empress Changsun ignored Li Chengqian and just gathered the three children together, and seriously reminded: "You three are here and you must go out without any trouble, do you know?"

Li Chengqian asked, "Mother, can't you even leave this yard? Why is that?"

Empress Changsun thought about it and finally decided to tell the truth to her son: "Chengqian, the Minister of the Shangshu Pushe Du Ruhui just reported that an epidemic occurred in the Sixteen Guards. Your father has issued a ban to protect the safety of the inner palace. It is still unknown when it will be lifted. You are the prince and the elder brother. You want to share your father's worries and fulfill your responsibilities of taking care of your brother and sister. Do you understand?"

"Plague, plague?" Li Tai, who was only seven years old, turned pale and grabbed Empress Changsun: "Mother, my son is afraid."

Changle was still a beautiful little loli at this time and didn't understand what the plague was. But when he saw his second brother's fear, he couldn't help but cry and held Queen Changsun's hand and didn't let go.

Compared with these two little guys, Li Chengqian was not only not afraid, but was also a little excited, and he almost jumped up and shouted "Okay".

Such a strange performance made Empress Changsun a little worried. While holding Li Tai and Changle in her arms to comfort her, she asked Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, what's wrong with you? Are you not afraid?"

Li Chengqian held his hands behind his back like a little adult, with his small breasts high and imitated him and said, "Mother, Ruoerchen said that Li Shidu mentioned a few days ago that there will be a plague, and he still has a way to control the plague and not happen. Do you believe it?"

"What?" Empress Changsun could hardly believe her ears: "You said Li Dejian mentioned that there would be a plague a few days ago?"

"Uh..., not." Li Chengqian scratched his head, feeling that his expression seemed to be problematic just now, and tried hard to recall: "He meant that as long as he killed all the lice and fleas on humans, he would not have a plague, or the spread of the plague."

Empress Changsun also had some illness and wanted to seek medical treatment. After hearing Li Chengqian's explanation, she said to Hegan Chengji, the head of the prince's guard who was about to stand by, and said, "You should go to Lizheng Palace to inform Your Majesty here, and you will say that there are important matters in this palace to discuss."

"No!" Although Hegan Chengji did not believe Li Hao's nonsense, the boss's wife had to listen to the orders.

Li Er was already in a state of great trouble at this time. It would be fine if there was a spread of plague among the people. As long as the road was closed and the plague was not spread, there would always be a solution.

But it is different for the plague in the army. These guys will mutiny. If the control is not properly done, the mutiny of the army will be an irreversible disaster for the newly stabilized Tang Dynasty.

But unexpectedly, when discussing how to stabilize the morale of the army, the prince's guard commander came. A sentence of "The Empress has something important to discuss" was so scared that Li Er was sweating in a cold sweat. He thought there was something wrong in the palace, so he took Doctor Jin with him to Yiqiu Courtyard without saying a word.

After discovering that the queen and the three children were fine, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, under the narration of Empress Changsun, Li Er frowned again: "What? Li Dejian? Why is that boy again!"

Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, since Li Dejian said this, it must be because of some basis. Do you think you should call him into the palace?"

Changsun's words seemed to remind Doctor Jin. The old man's eyes lit up and he echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, your teacher is knowledgeable and the suture technique is unparalleled in the world. Perhaps there is really a way to solve this epidemic."

The teacher was so cool that he called out. Li Er glanced at Doctor Jin with contempt. In order to shirk responsibility, this old man really wanted to be indifferent.
