The end of the year is approaching, and many students from medical schools are returning home to celebrate the New Year. Students who live far away stay in the school to celebrate the New Year. After all, the round-trip fare is not cheap, so it is better to stay in the school to celebrate the New Year.
While Shen Xue was waiting for her brother to be released from school, she was writing a letter to Shangguan Rui. He wrote to Shen Xue in the training camp, telling her that he would not be back for the New Year and would not come back until this group of navy was successfully trained, so she could rest assured.
After receiving the letter, Shen Xue felt a little disappointed, but she could also understand Shangguan Rui's decision.
The winter wind was cold and biting. Shen Xue stood in front of the window, looking into the distance and recalling all the beautiful moments they had together.
She knew that Shangguan Rui was a responsible person and he would do his best to train this group of navy and make contributions to the country.
Su Mo hurried over, holding a letter in his hand, "County Lady, Divine Doctor Ye sent Liu Qi to deliver a letter."
Shen Xue opened the letter and asked in surprise, "Didn't Liu Qi follow my master to a remote place to provide free medical treatment? How did he come back after delivering the letter? Did something happen to my master? Where is he?"
"He's outside, but he said he's coming back from the plague area and can't come to see you, so he asked me to pass on a message to you."
"What?"
"Five to six thousand people in Huayang County, Jinzhou, have been infected with the plague, and dozens have died. The prefect has ordered soldiers to seal off the entire county, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. The Second Prince and his guards have also been infected with the plague and are in imminent danger. Furthermore, medicinal materials are in short supply, so I've ordered him to come back and ask you for them."
After reading the letter, Shen Xue was shocked. "Where are the others?"
"Outside the medical school gate."
Shen Xue quickly handed the letter to Su Mo and ordered as she ran, "Su Mo, prepare your horses. I'm going to the palace. I'll also give this letter to the shopkeeper Ji of Tongjitang and have him send a message to the counties surrounding Jinzhou, asking them to quickly transfer these herbs to Jinzhou and give them to my master. I'll also send a doctor to help and a few more carts of herbs as backup. I'll settle the bill with him when I return."
Su Mo took the order and left. Shen Xue came to the door of the Royal Medical College. Liu Qi quickly stepped back when he saw her coming.
"County Lady, don't come over. I've just returned from an epidemic area. If I infect you, it would be troublesome. Divine Doctor Ye ordered me to deliver a letter. When I get to Yizhou, I'll go to Tongjitang and ask the owner to mobilize medicinal materials. He should have gathered the materials and sent them over by now."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm just cold, hungry and tired, but everything else is fine."
"Su Yu, prepare something hot for Liu Qi to eat, a carriage for him to sleep in, and some dry food for the journey. I'll go to the palace and we'll leave for Jinzhou soon. And tell Han Lin to send Xiao Nan to Yunzhou."
"Yes."
Shen Xue jumped on the horse and galloped towards the palace.
Grand Prince's Mansion
The eldest prince sat in his study, listening to the guards' report: "Master, the second prince and his guards have all contracted the plague, and one of them has died. Thousands of people have been infected throughout Huayang County, and the prefect has sealed off the entire county, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving."
"Divine Doctor Ye is helping the Second Prince with his illness, but the county is short of medicinal materials, so it's difficult for him to save people."
"This old man is born to be against me. He cured the third son's leg, and now he is treating the second son's plague. If this old man doesn't die, I'm afraid he will ruin my plans in the future."
"Send someone to find a way to get rid of him. It's not difficult for someone to die in the plague area."
"Master, you must not be impulsive. Many officials and doctors have died suddenly in the area where Divine Doctor Ye is. There will definitely be suspicions. If it is found that the plague was man-made, the Emperor will definitely send people to investigate the matter thoroughly. By then, I am afraid that this matter will be impossible to conceal."
"Master, please think twice before acting."
The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "Forget it! Let him stay a few more days. Even if that old man is here, without the herbs, the second one will surely die."
"Second brother, since you dare to order someone to frame this prince and my mother, I will give you a New Year's gift so that you and your mother can be reunited. Don't thank me."
"Send someone to secretly monitor the palace. By now, the emperor should have received the news from Jinzhou. Let's see how he handles it."
"I obey my orders."
Royal Palace
Chen Fu was holding the news from the Jinzhou prefect, when Shen Xue asked for a meeting at the door of the hall.
"Princess of Ya'an County, what do you want to see the emperor for?"
"I received news that there is a plague in Jinzhou. I want to see the emperor."
"Please come in, Lady Ya'an."
"Your Majesty, here is a message from the Jinzhou prefect."
The emperor was astonished when he read the contents of the letter. "Chen Fu, tell the imperial physician Chen to come see me immediately."
"Old slave obeys the order."
The emperor looked at Shen Xue with sharp eyes, "Princess Ya'an, how did you know about the plague in Jinzhou?"
"My master took one of my guards to a remote area to provide free medical treatment. When they passed by Huayang County in Jinzhou, a plague had broken out there. The prefect had the entire county sealed off. There were no medicinal materials in the county, so my master ordered the guard to deliver a letter back."
"Have you had any contact with the guards?"
"No. I have already sent someone to Tongjitang to ask the owner to transfer the necessary herbs and send them to Jinzhou."
"Doctor Chen, the plague is quite serious. We need to quickly deploy more medicinal materials and manpower to Jinzhou for support."
"I will go back and prepare immediately."
The emperor nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Shen Xue. "The Princess of Ya'an is concerned about the epidemic in Jinzhou and has taken the initiative to prepare medicinal materials. This is truly a noble act. I order you to assist in this plague matter. Set off immediately."
"My daughter obeys the order."
At this moment, the eldest prince's confidant reported the situation in the palace to him. The eldest prince snorted coldly, "If they can really control the plague, then the second prince will not die."
Shen Xue immediately left the palace to meet up with Liu Qi and others, and rushed to Jinzhou with a few guards.
