For Ah Jiu, who has been pampered since childhood, she never knew what the epidemic was like, but today she finally saw it.
She went straight to Yan Chuqing's mansion after coming out of the Matchmaker's Mansion, and by the way put the small book Shen Qinghe gave her about Li Yu's matchmaking conditions in her sleeve.
Ah Jiu had planned a long time ago. When she left the palace, she hoped to visit Yan Chuqing's mansion, because she had hidden all the people who had the epidemic before by Yan Chuqing, and now she can only go through Yan Chuqing to see those people, those people.
Yan Chuqing immediately rejected the idea of A Jiu and Yan Chuqing.
"Your Majesty, I dare to obstruct Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not go! There are people in the hospital with severe epidemics, and even the imperial doctor has to diagnose outside, and the guards are taking serious precautions! Your Majesty think twice!"
After he finished speaking, he knelt down in front of A Jiu, and the little Dezi was moved when he heard it. He also knelt down in front of A Jiu and dragged a corner of A Jiu's robe, crying, "Your Majesty must not go!"
"Those are my people, my people, why can't I go? I can't save them now, do I still want to watch them die?"
Ah Jiu pulled back the corner of her clothes and squatted in front of Yan Chuqing, "Aiqing, I am incompetent, unable to suppress the occurrence of such an epidemic, can't I do anything now?"
Yan Chuqing knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few more times, "Your Majesty, this minister has made a bold decision. If the epidemic cannot be cured, the only way to prevent the epidemic from spreading is to make those people in the courtyard who have the epidemic never reappear. , this is the last resort decision made by the minister and the imperial physician, Your Majesty!"
Ah Jiu slumped to the ground, "Is there nothing I can do?"
Yan Chuqing shook his head, "All available methods have been used!"
"How many people in total?"
Yan Chu settled down, "With the two children, and the two guards who were brought in before, there are a total of thirty-two people!"
"That's my people!" Ah Jiu stared at Yan Chuqing, "My father taught me that only those who love the people can be the emperor, but now I am the emperor, but I cannot bring them any benefits, but I have to make them suffer so cruelly. The accident, I am incompetent!"
The last few words of Ah Jiu were all relying on roaring, she patted the ground, unwilling, she has never been a good empress, Wen is not as good as Fu Yanwu but Li Yu, cunning and treacherous are not as good as Wen Xiangxiang, clever and clever not as Shen Qinghe, can sit here The position to this day is nothing but the poor uncle of the emperor.
Yan Chuqing knocked on the ground with Xiao Dezi, and could only shout the words of His Majesty to think twice.
Ah Jiu paused, looked at the two people who were knocking, and slowly opened her mouth, "Get up! Finally! Let me take one last look at them, and I will leave. If I cannot save them, it will be for the sake of more people. The future is over!"
How cruel is it to say such a thing? Ah Jiu thought that she had made the most impossible decision. She endured it, gritted her teeth and endured it. She suddenly remembered what the previous emperor had said to her.
The former emperor said that the emperor had the whole world in his heart and loved the people, but now she has to give up these people. She has never sought welfare for the people of the imperial capital, and now she can only keep them.
Yan Chuqing and Xiao Dezi stopped her for a long time, but she still insisted on going. Yan Chuqing and Xiao Dezi had no choice but to go along.
Yan Chuqing took her to the front of the basement, and never entered the small courtyard. Except for Wang Fuyang and a few imperial doctors, the rest were all guards, all of whom covered their mouths with cloths, waiting until Wang Fuyang saw clearly When it came to Ah Jiu, she was really startled, and she brought the imperial physicians and guards who had developed antidote in the large yard to salute.
"Why did Your Majesty come here? This place is not suitable for Your Majesty. You should leave quickly!" Wang Fu Yang urged, but was interrupted by Yan Chuqing beside him.
The room facing the gate of the courtyard was a dark and dull basement. A Jiu moved to the door of the basement. There were two loyal guards at the door. When he saw A Jiu, he also saluted. It should be that place. Lock up those who have caught the epidemic.
She didn't know what was going on behind the door, but when she was standing at the door, the occasional sound from the empty basement made her tremble, and she waved her hand to get everyone up.
"Are they all inside?" Ah Jiu asked, staring at the door.
"A total of thirty-two people! All of them are inside!" Yan Chuqing replied from the side.
"Do you just watch from outside the door every day?"
"Yes! The contagiousness of the epidemic is far greater than expected. It can only be isolated in the basement. Even the clothes of the guards have to be changed every day."
Ah Jiu bit her lip, and walked a few steps to the basement door when she was pulled by the people behind her.
"Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, but please return to the palace!" Yan Chuqing urged.
Ajiu waved her hand, "I'm not afraid, I'm the Son of Heaven, they are all my people and my people, why not come to see them? Just take a look, I'll take a look, you are all by my side to protect me, don't you? already."
Yan Chuqing, Wang Fuyang and the others really couldn't beat Ah Jiu, so they could only bring everyone in with her.
Before entering, Wang Fuyang prepared a thick square for everyone, and Ah Jiu felt wet, thinking that she had used excellent medicine to prevent it.
Ah Jiu covered it with her nose and mouth and watched the basement door slowly open.
The guards were leading the way. Everywhere she looked, there were iron locks. Inside were people with tattered clothes, sores and bloodstains on their bodies, messy hair and dark bloodstained faces. Lying down and unable to move, the rest saw them come in and grab the iron locks one by one, only the sad eyes of Ah Jiu saw it clearly.
Ah Jiu looked a little trembling, but if the handkerchief in her hand loosened a little, she could smell a pungent stench, so she couldn't help but hold it tighter.
She took a few steps forward and looked at the man who was still eating steamed buns holding the iron prison. She wanted to ask Wang Fuyang, but she couldn't bear the stench of the basement, so she could only hold it in. .
Ah Jiu looked at the man, the man looked at Ah Jiu in a daze, and accidentally dropped the dirty steamed bun in his hand to the ground, and then got stuck between the two iron pillars, and stretched out his hand to hold the The steamed buns in front of me are in vain.
Ah Jiu gritted her teeth, and she was dragged by Yan Chuqing who was behind him when she wanted to move forward. Yan Chuqing shook his head, and his eyes were full of rejection.
Ah Jiu pushed Yan Chuqing and walked straight to the man. The whole basement was silent, only the sound of Ah Jiu's footsteps echoed.
Ah Jiu squatted on the ground, picked up the steamed bun that the man couldn't pick up, reached out and handed it to him.
The man was stunned for a moment, his fingers trembling towards Ah Jiu.
Wang Fuyang once said to A Jiu that these people are all poisoned by the epidemic and have lost their nature. Only by putting all the medicines into the food they usually eat can they enter their mouths. The steamed buns are those steamed buns with hidden medicines.
The man's outstretched hand was retracted again, holding Tie Zhu and twisting restlessly.
Ah Jiu stretched the steamed bun a little closer, and the man reacted slightly, and then continued to reach for the steamed bun in front of Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu looked at him sincerely. Since she ascended the throne, everything has been handled by the uncle, and she has the help of the ministers in the court. She didn't know how to operate at all. Later, she gradually became more aware, and she could only follow the uncle herself. Do what you have done in the past.
But she has never seen such a scene before. A person can reach such a level, with fear in his eyes, scars all over his body, and even eating steamed buns is so difficult.
How terrifying is this kind of epidemic that can turn a person into this, regardless of whether it was done by the uncle, it is right for the uncle to prevent it quickly, otherwise the entire emperor will fall into such a deep state in fear and hurt.
She couldn't help but get closer, causing Yan Chuqing and Wang Fuyang behind them to be so scared that they lost their souls.
The man reached out and took the steamed bun, and also grabbed Ah Jiu's hand.
At that time, Ah Jiu was startled to realize that something was wrong, and even the hearts of the people behind him jumped to the throat.
Ah Jiu was dragged forward, but the hand holding the steamed bun was bitten in the mouth.
"what!"
The severe pain caused Ah Jiu to loosen the handkerchief in her hand. She drew her hand, but was bitten even harder by the man. His teeth penetrated the skin of her palm, and blood immediately flowed down.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!" The group of people behind them were so frightened that their souls flew away. The guard quickly stepped forward and beat the man back to the iron prison. Xiao Dezi took Ajiu's hand tremblingly, "Your Majesty!"
Yan Chuqing supported Ah Jiu behind him, Wang Fuyang grabbed the scarf and covered Ah Jiu's bitten right hand, "Quick! Take your majesty out!"
It didn't take long before and after, Ah Jiu's face became pale, and she slumped on Yan Chuqing's body.
Yan Chuqing hugged Ah Jiu, "Your Majesty is offended!" Then he hugged Ah Jiu and walked out, but Ah Jiu grabbed the collar, Ah Jiu said weakly, "They just got the epidemic, don't hurt unless they have to. They don't give up on them." He fainted immediately.
Yan Chuqing everyone withdrew from the basement and immediately closed the basement.
Yan Chuqing put Ajiu on the ground, and Wang Fuyang immediately prepared some medicines to prevent the seriousness of the epidemic. Xiao Dezi was already crying awkwardly on the side, and murmured to His Majesty.
But all of them know that at the same time, the only thing that can be directly infected by the infected patient is eating what the patient has eaten and using the food that the patient has used, but Ah Jiu, it was bitten and bleeding. Fu Yang is taking some measures, I am afraid that he also knows that Ah Jiu is absolutely not immune, the only thing he can do is not to make it more serious.
Speaking of which, I don't know if it was Yan Chuqing's fault or Ah Jiu's own fault, but he just glanced at the person who was infected with the epidemic, and now he has suffered too.
Ah Jiu woke up a little under Wang Fuyang's first aid. She leaned against Yan Chuqing. She looked at her gauze-bound hand and felt a little bit of pain. Think of how the epidemic is so powerful.
"Wang Fuyang, I ordered you not to tell this matter, and the entire imperial capital would be in panic, and the entire palace would not be peaceful." Ah Jiu said with a pale face, her eyes half-open, panting weakly.
Wang Fuyang knelt on the ground, "I dare not speak ill!"
Ah Jiu was very satisfied with the performance of Wang Fuyang and Yan Chuqing, but the little Dezi on the side had already cried to tears, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What should the uncle and the general ask about? What should I do?"
Ah Jiu was startled, as if she hadn't thought of this, and fell asleep after pondering for a long time.
