Besides, he should go back and take charge of the situation.

Everyone in the prison was trying to persuade him, especially Eunuch Zhou.

But he didn't dare to gamble until he was sure whether he had the plague too.

What if I go back and the entire palace falls?

How can Shuer and those two kids bear it?

Then I saw a letter on the table. The handwriting on it looked very familiar.

It's a letter from Shuer.

The story begins with endless worry about him.

There was no more honorific title, and between the lines was the wife's worry and longing for her husband.

She also reported that she was safe.

Both the child and she are fine.

Then Aunt Fang woke up.

And a prescription.

It can enhance physical fitness and resist plague.

In other words, if a weak person gets the disease and has only seven days to live, with this prescription, he can at least live half a month.

Although it cannot be cured, it can relieve symptoms.

But Shen Zhishu also stated that this was just Aunt Fang's one-sided statement and it had not been tested yet.

Be cautious when using medication.

Yan Chu looked at the prescription for a moment, then urgently summoned the five imperial doctors in Tianlao to discuss the prescription together.

The final result is worth a try.

However, since it has not been tested, we don't know what effect this medicine will have, so there is a certain risk.

"Currently, 20 jailers in the prison have shown initial symptoms, but medication can control their condition. As long as it doesn't get worse, there is still hope."

The dean looked haggard.

Because of this incident, he seemed to have aged ten years.

After all, he had been working tirelessly on the formula.

"So the dean means that they shouldn't try this recipe?"

Yan Chu frowned slightly.

"I have a bold idea."

At the side, the imperial physician who had been responsible for recording Su Rong's condition popped up.

Instinctively, nothing good will happen.

"You said."

Yan Chu's face was gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.

"The Empress is the sickest and her condition is out of control. She has a persistent high fever and I really can't find a better way. So let the Empress try this medicine first."

The imperial physician was trembling as he spoke this.

And as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head and knelt on the ground.

Be prepared to be punished at any time.

Although his words sounded nice, his meaning was very clear.

Since no one can try, why not let the queen try it and let her be the guinea pig.

This is a capital crime.

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was terrified and subconsciously held their breath.

"Then boil the medicine according to the prescription and give it to the Queen first. If it works, purchase a large amount of medicinal materials as soon as possible..."

After thinking for a moment, Yan Chu said seriously.

Everyone nodded tremblingly.

Then, the new medicine was conveniently delivered to the secret room.

Su Rong had a fever again and lost consciousness.

The imperial physician in charge of her pinched her mouth and forced her to drink the medicine.

"Your Highness, this is not my fault. You brought the plague into Kyoto. You wanted to harm the Emperor and the people of the city, so you should have expected this day to come."

At this moment, the imperial physician was full of resentment towards Su Rong.

She even dared to lie to the emperor that she had a prescription.

It's simply unforgivable.

It was she who brought the plague in. If she really had a way, why didn't she take action even though she knew she was about to die?

She didn't have that intention at all. She simply wanted everyone in Kyoto to die with her.

She has a vicious heart and is not worthy of being a queen.

Soon, Shen Zhishu received a reply from Yan Chu.

The moment she received the letter, she felt relieved.

Since he was able to write back, it proved that he was doing fine.

Sure enough, he reported safety in the letter.

There were only a few words, but she kept reading them over and over again.

I held it in my arms like a treasure and was reluctant to let go.

A few more days passed.

No matter how well prepared you are, accidents can still happen.

In the palace, some people suddenly fainted, then felt weak and achy all over, and some suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.

Outside the palace and inside Kyoto, ordinary people also began to show symptoms, and everyone on the street fell ill.

The usually bustling market was half closed and no one dared to go out on the street, so it was very deserted.

Once it starts, the situation will only get worse.

In just seven or eight days, the entire city was under martial law, with troops patrolling the streets and no one allowed to go out.

Rumor has it that some people have died as a result and their bodies were thrown into a mass grave and burned.

Shen Zhishu stayed in his own bedroom the whole time and never left.

But I still felt nervous when I received this news from outside.

This plague is really terrible.

Especially when the eunuch who had been delivering medicine changed his face to a new one, she began to worry.

Is it possible that she and Yan Chu will be separated by Yin and Yang?

When her eyes fell on the child, she couldn't help but redden her eyes.

She subconsciously wanted to write a letter to Yan Chu.

Even if there is nothing to say, I will feel at ease if I know what he does and eats today.

"My lady, no... something bad has happened. Xiao Linzi, who was sweeping the outer courtyard, has fainted."

But bad news came one after another.

Something happened to the palace maid in her bedroom.

Once it starts, how can it be stopped?

Her hand shook and the brush fell on the paper, making a big stain.

"Go get the doctor."

She spoke subconsciously.

"Where's Xiao Anzi?"

But then he remembered that there was already a doctor in his own palace.

"I don't know. I haven't seen her for a long time. But Aunt Fang has already taken Xiao Linzi to the woodshed for isolation. She is taking medicine now."

Bitao looked panicked.

"Fortunately, after Aunt Fang woke up, she prepared some medicinal herbs in Kunning Palace. Your Majesty doesn't know that now people in various palaces have fallen ill, and the masters of each palace are looking for medicine. The medicinal herbs in the Imperial Hospital are in short supply, and many palace servants have no medicine to use."

These days, things outside are in chaos.

Bitao was always asking for news.

Their Kunning Palace is in trouble now, and it has been the one that has lasted the longest.

"This won't work. Bring Lin'er and Qi'er here. I will take care of them myself."

Getting infected is only a matter of time.

But how can such a young child bear it?

Shen Zhishu was confused.

I felt sad.

So what if I win the fight with Su Rong?

God played a big joke on her.

Bitao was also at a loss at this time.

He stumbled and followed Shen Zhishu to pick up the child.

But as soon as they arrived, the wet nurse who was taking care of them collapsed, and the two children instantly couldn't stop crying, as if they already knew what had happened.

Shen Zhishu almost lost his balance and fell down.

"My queen, how about letting this servant take care of the two little princes?"

The wet nurse has collapsed, and the two little princes will definitely not be able to escape.

Bitao quickly supported her master, very determined.

"Take it to my room."

Shen Zhishu didn't care about these things.

Looking at the two children, all I can feel is heartache.

That night, she was exhausted just by putting her two children to sleep.

I want to continue writing the letter I didn’t finish today.

But she didn't know how to tell Yan Chu.

She wanted to ask him if she could go find him.

But he was afraid that such a willful request would make things difficult for him.

I couldn't put pen to paper for a long time, but at this moment the door opened.
