Back in the palace, Chu Yan learned that the emperor had just got up to pick up the queen and Princess Jinyang back to Beijing in person.
Chu Yan sent Lian Xin to chase after the emperor's holy driver, and Lian Hao to deliver a letter to the Seventh Prince, while he changed into plain clothes and quietly left the palace again.
Su Yan was so anxious that she took Zhong Ning to Baiweitang before she even had time to change her clothes, and ran straight to Mrs. Zhong's residence.
When Su Yan arrived, Mrs. Zhong was making medicine. Su Yan didn't even slow down, and went straight to the point: "Master, there is a plague in Wujin County."
"What? Such a thing happened!" Even a doctor like Mrs. Zhong's extraordinary medical skills changed her face when she heard the word plague.
Mrs. Zhong never asked what Su Yan was doing, and she never opened Su Yan's letters privately, so she knew nothing about what Su Yan was investigating, only that she sent a dozen people to Wujin County.
Suddenly hearing Su Yan say that there was a plague, Mrs. Zhong was shocked, and quickly put down the pestle in her hand, with a serious expression: "Han'er, tell me first, what are the symptoms of people who have the plague?"
Su Yan quickly recalled: "The letter said that people who get the plague will have headaches, fever, and body aches of varying degrees. By the way, they also have difficulty breathing. This is the most important point."
Mrs. Zhong was a little surprised when she heard Su Yan's words. Why did the symptoms she heard Su Yan describe so much like the kind of pneumonia that was also widely spread in the world she lived in in her previous life
Mrs. Zhong asked again: "When did you find out?"
Su Yan replied: "Half a month ago, the people we sent said that there is nowhere to treat this disease, and it spreads very fast. I thought I would come here first and ask Master if he knows about this disease?"
"I have some directions, but I'm not sure if I haven't seen the patient." Mrs. Zhong took a deep breath: "As a doctor, I have a duty to do this. I'm going to Wujin County in the next few days, hoping to resolve this matter as soon as possible. .”
Su Yan said: "Master, I want to go with you."
"I want to go too." Zhong Ning agreed.
Mrs. Zhong didn't agree, she really refused: "No! I'm not sure about this matter either, it's too risky for the two of you to go."
"Master, I want to go." Su Yan said to Mrs. Zhong very seriously: "I remember very clearly that the master once taught his disciples that healers should be righteous. The disciples always keep the master's teachings in their hearts. I think that you should not be greedy for life and fear death for the sake of danger. Since Tuer sent people to Wujin County, it means that I have already made up my mind to take care of this matter. Everything should have a beginning and an end, so as to live up to the original intention. Besides, Master alone No matter how powerful your power is, it is limited, and you might be able to find a solution faster if you take me with you."
She hadn't done any good deeds or accumulated any virtue in her previous life, but she was reborn once after a great fortune. After rebirth, by chance, she worshiped Mrs. Zhong as her teacher, and followed Mrs. Zhong to various places to treat and save people for two years. She wants to do as many good deeds as possible to repay God's kindness to her.
Su Yan wanted to do something for the people from the bottom of her heart. Not to mention that she can really help Mrs. Zhong, even if she is only helping Master after she goes to Wujin County, as long as she can do her best, it is better than sitting in the capital and waiting eagerly for news.
"Yes, me too, and I'm not afraid." Zhong Ning said heartlessly, "With Mother here, how could something happen to us two."
What Su Yan said was righteous, but Mrs. Zhong was not moved at all: "Even if the two of you talk about breaking the sky, don't even think about going."
Su Yan tried her best to fight for herself: "Master, I will take good care of myself."
"Han'er, you don't know how terrible the plague is." Mrs. Zhong recalled the incident she had experienced, with lingering fears in her heart: "A plague once occurred in my hometown, where thousands of medical skills and I am as advanced as I am, but the plague still caused countless casualties, and even many doctors were unable to escape."
Both Su Yan and Zhong Ning stared at her with wide eyes, full of suspicion towards her.
Zhong Ning pouted: "Mother, you liar, why didn't I hear that my grandfather said that there was a plague in our hometown, he couldn't even make up lies, and he wanted to scare us."
Su Yan didn't believe it either, just the sentence "there are thousands of people with the same advanced medical skills as me", Su Yan couldn't believe it.
Mrs. Zhong shook her head helplessly: "I say these are true, you don't care whether you believe it or not, in short, don't even think about going to Wujin County."
Mrs. Zhong's attitude was firm. Su Yan and Zhong Ning had been entangled for a long time and she didn't let go. In desperation, Su Yan could only compromise dejectedly. She explained the situation in Wujin County to Mrs. Zhong in detail, and then brought Zhong Ning went home.
On the way, Zhong Ning was still a little ready to move, and encouraged Su Yan with insinuations: "Senior sister, you really don't plan to go?"
Su Yan said: "Master also told you to learn the rules from me, did you listen?"
Zhong Ning's eyes lit up when she heard Su Yan's words: "Senior Sister, are you going to go secretly by yourself?"
Su Yan shook her head, she is not a lonely person in the rivers and lakes now, so she has to think of a legitimate reason.
Here, Su Yan racked her brains to go to Wujin County, while Chu Yan secretly went to Ruyun Temple. It didn't take long for Chu Yan to arrive, and the Seventh Prince and Prince Yan also arrived in casual clothes.
As soon as Prince Yan entered the door, he asked, "What's so urgent?"
The Seventh Prince also looked at Chu Yan inquiringly. They had agreed before that if there was no imminent matter, the three of them would try not to meet in private.
Chu Yan nodded to Prince Yan, and then said: "There was an epidemic in Wujin County in Huaizhou half a month ago, and it was concealed by local officials and has not been reported to the imperial court. Saving this plague will lead to catastrophe."
When the plague was mentioned, Prince Yan and the Seventh Prince's expressions changed. From ancient times to the present, the plague has always been a disaster that the court authorities are least willing to face.
Whether it is drought or flood, they are all disasters limited to one place. Unlike the plague, the plague is contagious and cannot be controlled by humans.
The Seventh Prince changed from his previous casualness, and his expression was serious: "Is this really true?"
Chu Yan nodded resolutely: "Yan'er's people discovered it. They are all good at medicine. There will be no mistakes in this matter."
Both the Seventh Prince and Prince Yan knew about Su Yan's details, so they paid more attention to what Chu Yan said.
"Since the place has not been reported, does it mean that this matter is still under control?" It was the first time that the Seventh Prince had encountered such a thing, and he immediately looked at Prince Yan and asked.
Prince Yan frowned and shook his head: "If the plague is controllable, people will not change their expressions."
This incident was so sudden that the Seventh Prince and Prince Yan were obviously caught off guard.
