Because of the help of the people from the Huimin Bureau, the Huimin Bureau can issue a health order. Zi'an asked Mr. Zhu of the Huimin Bureau to order the extermination of rats across the country and gave a prescription, asking people across the country to use this prescription, whether they are sick or not, whether they are in the epidemic area or the safe area.
Mr. Zhu refused to cooperate at all. "Aren't you kidding me? It's fine if the sick people take the medicine, but you want the healthy people to take the medicine as well?"
"The emperor asked your Welfare Bureau to fully cooperate with all my medical treatment efforts. This is the first step I will take. If you don't do it, you will go to the palace to apologize." Zi'an said seriously.
Lord Zhu was very angry. "The emperor wants the Huimin Bureau to cooperate with the princess's treatment, not to make trouble. If you ask me to give an order, it must be reasonable. Why should a healthy person take medicine?"
“To prevent infection.”
"If I drink this medicine, I can prevent infection?"
“It’s not necessarily possible, but it has a certain preventive effect.”
"No, I can't do this. Princess, please go to the palace and ask for permission yourself!" Lord Zhu said that after this order was issued, it would be a joke. Not only would his colleagues laugh at his ignorance and incompetence, but the people would also accuse him of making trouble.
How much money would it cost to make the whole country drink this medicine? Now the treasury is empty, is this regent princess going to drain the treasury of money
Lord Zhu didn't believe the people from Da Zhou at all. Da Zhou and Bei Mo were in a hostile relationship, so how could they sincerely help
Zi'an looked at his back, knowing that he was a pro-war member, and felt helpless.
The only one who can help now is Princess An.
"Liuliu, have you seen Lord Su tonight?" Zi'an asked Liuliu when he returned to the room.
Liu Liu said: "Go down the mountain."
"Go down the mountain?" Zi'an was startled. "He has been in contact with patients in the West District, so he can't go down the mountain."
When Prince Zhenguo and his companions went up the mountain, Zi'an let them go down the mountain because he was still unsure.
Fortunately, they have not had contact with patients in the West District, so they should be fine.
"What disease is it? Has it been diagnosed?" Liu Liu asked.
Zi'an thought for a moment and said, "Call Rouyao and Lingli over."
"Okay!" Seeing her serious expression, Liu Liu did not dare to delay and went to call someone immediately.
After the four of them sat down, Zi'an told them his diagnosis and explained the severity of the disease.
After hearing this, the three of them were shocked. They had never imagined it would be so serious.
"Then... what should we do? Will many people die? Will there be a major explosion?" Rouyao asked in horror.
"I don't know, I hope not, but there have been multiple outbreaks in the disaster area. If it is not controlled in time, a major outbreak will occur."
"What should we do? Should we leave?" Lingli asked calmly.
"No, no, we can't leave. Let's not talk about anything else. We have all been in contact with patients and we can't leave." Zi'an stretched out his hand and pressed it down. "Think of a way to inform Princess An and take down my prescription so that everyone can take it."
"Do you have a prescription to cure it?" Liu Liu's eyes suddenly lit up with joy.
"No, this prescription cannot cure the disease. It only enhances the immune system and clears away heat and toxins. The disaster area needs to be disinfected on a large scale to kill rats, fleas and other sources of disease."
"But we can't go down the mountain, how can we find Princess An?" Rouyao asked.
This is a problem. Before the diagnosis was made, they were still told that people could be sent down the mountain. But now that they have all been confirmed, none of the three of them can go down the mountain, and no one here can go down the mountain.
Also, the doctors from the Huimin Office cannot leave either.
The incubation period of the plague is two to eight days. If you want to go down the mountain, you must be isolated for about eight days.
But, eight days later, what was the situation outside
No one dares to say.
Su Mu came back that night, and after he came back, Zi'an went to find him.
"Princess, is there anything wrong?" Su Mu's face was a little pale. When he saw Zi'an coming in, he quickly stood up.
"Lord Su, do you have a way to contact the princess?" Zi'an asked.
Su Mu nodded, "Of course, I can go down the mountain tomorrow, but does the princess have something important to discuss with the princess?"
"You can't go down the mountain. I have roughly confirmed the disease. It is plague, a highly contagious disease. Who have you come into contact with since you came down the mountain?"
Lord Su's eyes were a little evasive, "I'm going home now."
Zian frowned, "You went home?"
Lord Su said, "Yes, when the prince of Zhenguo came today, he brought a guard with him. He is my neighbor. He told me that my son had a high fever, so I went back to see him."
"You have contacted your son?" Zi'an suddenly became anxious, "Then you have to find someone quickly to send my prescription to your family and let them all take it."
Lord Su was stunned for a moment. "Take a prescription? A prescription for treating fever? That's not necessary. When I went back, his fever had already subsided."
"No, we have been in contact with patients and may be infected. This is a highly contagious and lethal virus that can be transmitted through breathing. Your child at home has a fever and his immunity is reduced. If you are carrying the virus, he may be infected."
Lord Su was surprised, "So powerful?"
"Yes..." Zi'an told him how severe the plague was, including how many people it had killed.
Lord Su listened to what she said and looked at her.
Today, Prince Zhenguo's men ordered him to go down the mountain. He had to meet Prince Zhenguo. The prince said that Murong Jie and his wife had ulterior motives and would murder Beimo. They would even spread rumors and cause panic among the people of Beimo.
She will develop a prescription, but this prescription may not necessarily cure the plague, and may even be harmful to the health of the people in the Northern Desert.
Prince Zhenguo asked him to keep an eye on Xia Zian. If she came up with a prescription, he should steal it and then give it to him. He would let the imperial physician take a look at it to see if it was harmful to people.
At that time, he did not quite believe what Prince Zhenguo said, because the Regent Princess he had met was not that kind of person.
But now she said that this disease will be very serious and people from several countries will die from it.
This is ridiculous.
If this news gets out, how much panic will it cause
Su Mu was thinking when he heard Zi'an continue: "You must inform the emperor of this situation immediately. As for whether you want to announce it to the people, you decide for yourself. However, I think it is best not to hide the disaster from the people. Let them know the seriousness of the matter so that they can be prepared."
In modern times, although the epidemic situation has not yet been completely transparent, the public has a certain right to know. For such a serious epidemic, the people should know about it.
Su Mu thought of what Prince Zhenguo had said. If Murong Jie and his wife succeeded, the Great Zhou would not stop the war. They would take advantage of the situation when the Northern Desert was invaded by the disease.
Su Mu is a person who hopes for peace. In the past, he always felt that Prince Zhenguo was too ambitious. However, now when he thinks about what he said, he feels a chill down his spine.
If what he said was true, then Northern Desert would really be destroyed by the Great Zhou.
"Lord Su, did you hear what I said?" Zi'an shouted when he saw him in a daze.
Su Mu raised his head and looked directly at Zi An, "I heard it, Princess, don't worry, I will find a way to inform Princess An."
