I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Cui Shuyan was not panicked at all and asked, "What is the reason for the imperial guards to surround the mansion?"

"It is said that..." Pomegranate hesitated for a moment, then blurted out, "It is said that it is to prevent the spread of plague."

The imperial guards surrounded the palace, causing such a big commotion that many people would know about it.

Especially when it's something as big as the plague.

After the imperial guards surrounded the palace, the matter became widely known without the need for deliberate dissemination.

In this way, even if she and her brother died in the Luo residence, everyone would think that they deserved to die.

No one will know that they were killed.

Shi Liu was a little anxious: "Right now, the imperial guards haven't surrounded the mansion tightly yet. Do you want me to go to Prince Xie's mansion and send a message to them, asking them to take good care of the young master?"

"No. Pomegranate, from now on, you don't have to do anything."

At this moment, they have made many mistakes and it would be better for them to just stay in the mansion like they are now.

The longest incubation period of plague is five days. After five days, everything will become clear.

If they are still alive, it means everything is fine.

If they died, that would be even better.

Because of a dead person, there is no need to worry about anything anymore.

With Qiaoya and the palace steward at Prince Xie's mansion, nothing will go wrong.

What's more, after Xie Xingyuan gets the news, he will naturally treat Ze'er well.

So she doesn't need to worry about Ze'er at all.

What she needs to take care of now is the entire Luo residence.

On the side, Liu Youde muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over..."

The imperial guards surrounded the mansion, so even if he wanted to sneak away, he had no chance.

Cui Shuyan didn't bother to care what he thought, and just said in a cold voice: "That's right, now you and I are on the same boat. If you cooperate with me, you still have a chance to survive. If you think of playing tricks, you will only die. So, think about the next question I ask before you answer it."

Liu Youde nodded weakly: "Okay."

Cui Shuyan was about to ask some details when she heard footsteps outside.

It’s Liu Simiao, he’s here.

"The imperial guards surrounded the mansion?" he asked with trembling lips.

"Yes."

"Oh, it's okay. I just came to ask. I forgot what you told me to do before."

Cui Shuyan pointed to a chair beside her and said, "Since you are here, let's listen together and come up with a solution."

Afterwards, she looked at Liu Youde and asked, "Did Li Dahai turn pale before he died?"

"Not white."

"What about tongue coating? What are the symptoms?"

Because his life was at stake, Liu Youde thought about it very seriously: "His tongue coating was yellow, his face was red, and he often complained of thirst..."

Cui Shuyan and Liu Simiao looked at each other quickly and said in unison: "It's bubonic plague."

Once the type of plague is determined, the next step is to prescribe the right medicine.

The rest is up to fate.

Cui Shuyan glanced at Liu Simiao and said, "I'll leave the preparation of the medicine to you."

"Okay." After saying that, Liu Simiao walked outside and kicked Liu Youde on the butt, "You come with me."

"Hey!" Seeing that Cui Shuyan had no objection, Liu Youde left happily.

After solving the most difficult problem at hand, Cui Shuyan began to think about the whole matter.

It is now certain that this was done by Madam Xie.

She went to see Madam Cui and asked her to help deliver gifts, but the real purpose was to use her to spread the plague.

The plague is highly contagious. Once Mrs. Cui comes into contact with the people in Luo’s house, the people in Luo’s house will hardly be spared.

If the news spreads from one person to ten people and from ten to a hundred people, it will spread out of control.

At the same time, in order to prevent her from being alerted about this matter, Madam Xie chose to take action against Madam Cui.

As a result, Mrs. Cui died an untimely death.

But if Madam Cui came to Luo's house and died of illness after returning, she would pay attention to this matter.

But if Madam Cui were to die an unnatural death, the matter could be covered up.

At the same time, Madam Xie took advantage of Madam Cui's death to spread the rumor widely, thereby reducing her attention to various affairs in the mansion to a certain extent.

Fortunately, she saw through Madam Xie's plot and did not pay attention to the rumor.

It was also because of this that she discovered it a little earlier.

If it is discovered early, it may be possible to save it.

After all, when humans first contracted the plague, it was not that contagious.

If it had been a few more days, things would have gotten out of control.

At least the only person who died now was Li Dahai.

He was the first person to have the most direct contact with Madam Cui.

The next step is to check everyone in the mansion.

If anyone has a fever, isolate them immediately.

These are what must be done.

However, Cui Shuyan still sensed something was wrong.

After all, it would be difficult for Madam Xie to hide such a big move from Concubine Xian.

Therefore, Concubine Xian was also responsible for this matter.

Concubine Xian was much smarter than Madam Xie. She would not sit idly by and watch Madam Xie cause such a disaster while gaining nothing herself.

Especially, this is the capital.

She also came into contact with people like Zhao Simin and Princess Heshuo on a daily basis. To a certain extent, Concubine Xian might also have been infected with the plague.

A wise concubine like Concubine Xian would not put herself in danger.

Therefore, before formulating this plan, Concubine Xian must have already thought of a countermeasure.

For example, a perfect prescription that is guaranteed to cure the plague.

Think about it, now that there is a plague in Luo's house, the people around must be in a state of constant fear.

Many more people will lose their lives.

If at this time, someone from Concubine Xian's side came forward to give a prescription, it would be a great thing to save the people from the dire straits.

This would be a great merit.

This is also the benefit that Concubine Xian wants to gain from this incident.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Concubine Xian must have a good prescription to cure the plague.

This prescription is at least more effective than the currently widely known prescription for treating plague.

Because, as far as she knew, although the current prescription for treating the plague had a chance of success, half of the people would die because they could not get treatment.

To put it bluntly, the current prescription works, but it is not particularly effective.

Therefore, we have to think of a way to get the prescription from Concubine Xian.

Judging from the current situation, Concubine Xian will certainly not hand over the prescription at this time. She will only take out the prescription when the situation gets worse and the consequences become more serious.

Therefore, at least in the next ten days, Concubine Xian will not do anything.

If you want to steal this recipe, you have no idea.

Cui Shuyan was thinking hard, trying to figure out how to get the prescription from Concubine Xian.

But I never noticed that it was getting darker and darker, from dusk to midnight, and from midnight to dawn.

It's getting light.

At this moment, a deep and powerful voice came from outside the window: "Shu Yan."
