Escape after crossing

"That house was arranged by Wu Shiyong. It was in the city. We would change our clothes every day and burn them before returning.

But there is still a risk of infection, but Wu Shiyong didn't seem to care. It wasn't until the Ninth Prince also got the plague that I felt something was wrong."

"Master, what did you discover?"

“On the second day after we arrived in Jiangdu, the Ninth Prince went to the epidemic area to see the people, and then discussed the next matters with the officials.

The imperial physician, several other doctors and I were in the epidemic area taking the pulse of the people, making diagnoses, and discussing medication together. This plague had occurred a hundred years ago, but there was no antidote formula.

In the next few days, it was just Zhou Qing and the others with the prince. I asked Zhou Qing afterwards, and he said there was nothing special."

"Zhou Qing, think carefully, is there nothing wrong with it?"

The room fell into silence. No one spoke. Everyone was waiting for Zhou Qing to speak. Zhou Qing also recalled the events of the past few days. Suddenly, something came to his mind.

"Now that I think about it, what happened that day seems a little too coincidental. That day, the prince was waiting for the people who bought food to come back and then send it to the epidemic area.

On the way to transport grain, the grain transport vehicle broke down, and someone came back to report it. The prince was afraid of having to go on another mission, so he asked Zhu Ming to go with him. "

"At that time, my subordinates went with us to buy grain and transport it back. When we were still 40 or 50 miles away from Jiangdu, the wheels of the grain transport carts broke or fell off.

It can't be repaired right away, and I'm worried that if I stay out for too long, people will miss me, so I sent someone back to tell the prince to see if he can find a few more cars." Zhu Qing said at the right time.

"Zhu Qing, don't you find it strange? How could everything be broken? Did you find out what happened afterwards?" Xuan Yi asked.

"I asked, and Manager Liu who went with me said that it was because he did not check the condition of the car in advance that such a big mistake occurred. In addition, after the grain was transported back, he was busy sending it to the epidemic area, and then the prince got into trouble."

"Zhou Qing, go on, is there anything else?"

"Yes, after Zhu Ming left, someone came to report that the people in the epidemic area were causing trouble. The soldiers brought by the prince did not dare to harm the people, and the people were getting more and more violent. I don't know what to do?

The prince wanted to go and see it, but I stopped him. I was worried that the prince had contracted the plague, so I said I would go and solve it."

"If you all leave, what will happen to the prince's safety? You are confused, Zhuqing." Jiang Ziluo was anxious.

"Young Master, Zhuo Qing and the others did nothing wrong. Zhuo Qing should know that Wu Shiyong is the Third Prince's man, so he thinks that the prince will not be in danger in the city." Xuan Yi explained.

"Xuan Yi is right. Before coming to Jiangdu, the Prince of Zhenxi told you that Wu Shiyong, the prefect of Jiangdu City, is the Third Prince's man. If you have any questions, you can consult Wu Shiyong. At that time, when I left, Wu Shiyong was also accompanying you, and Bai Yi and the others were also protecting you in secret."

"So it seems that there is nothing special. They just took you away from the prince...wait, does Wu Shiyong know that Bai Yi and the others are in the dark?"

Zhu Qing and Zhou Qing looked at each other and shook their heads. Ju Ziming said, "They probably don't know. Since we left Beijing, we haven't let Bai Yi and the others show up. Wu Shiyong probably doesn't know."

Jiang Ziluo and Xuan Yi looked at each other, "Zhou Qing, have you asked Bai Yi what happened after you left?"

"I asked, and Bai Yi said that the prince had a conversation with Wu Shiyong, drank a cup of tea, stayed for a while, and then left. Nothing happened!"

"Tea? Wu Shiyong also drank it?" Zhu Qing nodded, then went out again and called Bai Yi out.

The two entered the room together, and Jiang Ziluo asked, "Bai Yi, did the prince and Wu Shiyong drink together?"

"Yes, it was the tea that the servants brought up together."

"Sir, Wu Shiyong is the Third Prince's man, he shouldn't harm the Ninth Prince, why do you suspect him?"

"I'm not doubting him, but after listening to what Master and the others said, I have some doubts. Xuanyi, don't you think it's strange that it took us so much effort to get into the city gate?

Also, when we met Wu Shiyong, he didn't even ask our names, nor did he try to see if we really knew medical skills. He just brought us here.

If your son was like this now, would you have been anxious a long time ago? If a doctor came to your house, would you still have doubts?

And Master said that Wu Shiyong didn't seem to care about the plague spreading into the city. Plus, everyone around the Ninth Prince was transferred away that day. Xuanyi, have you investigated Wu Shiyong?"

A certain prince was sitting in the room of Huajianfu in Jiangdu City and sneezing. His subordinates thought that the prince had caught a cold.

"Nothing has happened to Wu Shiyong, and he is the Third Prince's man. The restaurants in Jiangdu City haven't reported anything unusual, so we haven't investigated."

Xuan Yi answered truthfully, and Ju Ziming said, "Lolo, maybe it's just a coincidence? And this Wu Shiyong is the third prince's man.

Although Wu Shiyong has come less frequently since we moved here, he still has a lot of official duties every day, and the servants who serve him are not negligent at all. Should we think of looking for somewhere else?"

"Well, I just told you what I think is suspicious. I want to go to the epidemic area tomorrow and ask them how they got the plague. We have no clue now, so let's start from the beginning."

"Well, okay, you must have been traveling non-stop to get here in such a short time. Have a good rest tonight, and we will go to the epidemic area tomorrow."

Before leaving, Jiang Ziluo went in to see the Ninth Prince again, took out a shot of nutrient solution from the space, injected it into the Ninth Prince, and then came out again.

Afterwards, Ju Ziming asked Zhou Qing and Zhu Qing to look after the Ninth Prince, while he took Jiang Ziluo and Xuan Yi to rest.

Although both of them had rested during the past few days of traveling, they were worried and only slept for an hour or two. Their sleep was not sound and they were indeed a little tired.

After Jiang Ziluo returned to her room, she fell asleep immediately, saving herself the trouble of taking off her hair and makeup, saving a lot of time.

When Jiang Ziluo fell asleep, Xuan Yi did not. He changed his clothes, took a token, and left the yard in the dark.

Apart from Jiang Ziluo who could fall asleep at this time, many people could not fall asleep. For example, the imperial doctors who came with the Ninth Prince.

Although these imperial doctors were quite diligent in their duties when they arrived in Jiangdu, they also had their own concerns when facing people with plague every day and the risk of being infected.

Especially after the Ninth Prince fell ill, they became more and more uneasy day by day. However, they came out under the emperor's order and could not go back whenever they wanted.

Tonight, the three doctors from the Imperial Hospital gathered in a room. "Why don't you two talk? Aren't we here tonight to discuss something? We can't stay here forever, can we?"

"Doctor Zhao, then tell me, if we don't stay here now, what can we do?"

"Yes, what Imperial Doctor Sun said is right. We came here under the Emperor's order, but now we haven't accomplished anything. Or has Imperial Doctor Zhao already developed a prescription that can cure the plague?"

"Old Lu, we're together all day, how can I research it? It wasn't figured out a hundred years ago, how can I have the ability to do it?"

"Are we going to die here? My family is all in Kyoto, with elderly parents and children!"

"Who isn't? We all have families. Tell me, there are so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital, why did they pick out the three of us?"
