Outside Liangzhou City, the garrison led by Mu Tian was surrounding a small farmyard. According to the imperial doctor's request, their faces were all covered with gauze at this moment. Unless someone was calling from inside, they would never step foot into this small courtyard.
Not long after, a group of men and horses finally came galloping through the night, covered in white snow.
The leader was none other than Qi Xiao, who was riding with Feng Xi.
Originally, Qi Xiao didn't want to bring Feng Xi here, but Hanyuguan is a strategic military location of Jozhao. A single move can affect the whole body. If it is not handled well, it will be a disaster for Jozhao.
Therefore, after several weighings, both he and Mr. Li Ge and others felt that Feng Xi had to come. If she didn't come, none of them would be qualified to make a decision.
Originally, Mr. Li Ge also wanted to leave the city in the snow, but with his old arms and legs, everyone stopped him in the end.
If all the people they leave the city fall down due to the epidemic, there must be someone in charge in the city, right?
"Princess, Master, Doctor Bai has just entered with several imperial doctors."
Quickly arriving in front of Feng Xi and Qi Xiao, Mu Tian immediately offered the white gauze prepared in his hand, his expression rarely becoming serious.
And the Doctor Bai he was talking about was naturally Bai Yi, who had recently gained a very high reputation among imperial physicians and the common people, and this time he asked himself to diagnose and treat the epidemic on behalf of the nursing home.
Mu Tian was supposed to call her the Crown Princess, but now that the title of the Qi family had changed, and they were working away from home, she ended up calling her Doctor Bai Yibai.
"How's the situation inside?"
Putting on the white gauze for Feng Xi with his own hands, Qi Xiao asked while putting on his own.
"It's not good..." Mu Tian shook his head, "Nine out of the twelve people who came, Yuan Song is the only one who is still awake."
Yuan Song?
Feng Xi blinked, by the way, isn't this what Qi Xiao told her, another lieutenant under his eldest brother?
And unlike Mu Tian, who was famous for his scouts and assassinations and rarely appeared in public, Yuan Song was trained as a general by the Qi family.
Han Yuguan even sent him. It seemed that something was really wrong.
But she remembers that this scene was not in the original plot?
While Feng Xi was thinking, Qi Xiao couldn't help but look sideways at her, and hesitated to say:
"How about you..."
"You want to ask me to stay outside, and you can go in and take a look on my behalf, right?"
Feng Xi gave him a slap and once again looked at him like she was looking at a fool and said:
"In that case, why did you bring me out? Why don't you inform me in the first place and just let me sleep until tomorrow morning."
Qi Xiao frowned. He admitted that what Feng Xi said made sense, but he still didn't want to take her in.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xi didn't intend to ask for his opinion at all. The way she swaggered into the yard seemed as if she was not going to comfort the patient, but going home to sleep.
For a moment, both the garrison guarding outside the courtyard and the officials following Feng Xi could not help but straighten their backs.
To be honest, when they knew that there was an epidemic in Hanyuguan and there were patients in the yard in front of them, they said it was impossible not to be afraid.
Everyone cherishes their lives, and so do they.
If Princess Keren isn't afraid of a noble person like her, what else should ordinary people like them be afraid of?
Especially the upright Mr. Liu Wanshi, the way he looked at Feng Xi was like discovering gold.
What is diligence and caring for the people?
It's not like the prince and the fourth prince, who give orders every day in Shengjing City and let the following people help them come up with ideas and things, constantly winning over people's hearts.
But like their princess, she is on the front line of everything and is not even afraid of epidemics!
Seeing Feng Xi being so stubborn, Qi Xiao could only shake his head helplessly and walked in quickly with her.
Seeing them come in, the young imperial doctor waiting in the courtyard immediately stepped forward and welcomed them into the house.
This small farmhouse is not big, with a total of four thatched houses. Except for one room, which is used as a rest room by the imperial doctors, the other three rooms are occupied by Hanyuguan soldiers who came to report the news.
"Doctor Bai looked at the twelve people one by one. Four of them were definitely infected with the epidemic. Five of them were not infected with the epidemic. They were suspected of contracting the wind and cold from traveling long distances. The remaining three were just overworked and have not been diagnosed with the disease yet."
The young imperial doctor pointed to the three rooms in front of him and explained them one by one to Feng Xi and others.
At this moment, Bai Yi, who had smoked her whole body with mugwort, walked out of a room. She did not come forward, but stood by the door and saluted Feng Xi:
"Princess, Ah Xiao, I just took a closer look at the four people who were infected and found that they had fever and coughed up blood. One person was in a slightly more serious condition and had a few lumps on his body... According to them, this should be someone who accidentally ate the disease and contracted the malaria. Caused by rats..."
"Rat? Didn't we give Han Yuguan food? How could they do such a stupid thing!"
Before Feng Xi and Qi Xiao could speak, the well-informed Liu Wanshi's eyes widened.
Rats can’t eat randomly!
Especially the rats in this calamity year. Who knows what they ate. Why are the people in Hanyuguan so careless?
Could it be that they couldn't eat without some meat?
Bai Yi shook her head after hearing this. She was busy treating these people and obviously had no time to ask them in detail.
But even though she didn't get much information, it was enough to make Qi Xiao and others' expressions darken.
Twelve people arrived in Liangzhou, nine fell ill, and four were determined to be epidemic...
How many sick people would there be among the 100,000 people in Hanyu Pass?
Once most of the soldiers at Hanyuguan are infected with the epidemic, the news will spread to the ears of Beidi and Tatar...
Qi Xiao and others did not dare to even think about the consequences of that.
No wonder these twelve people traveled day and night. Even Emperor Shengde was afraid that such news would make him feel nervous.
However, unlike Qi Xiao and others who were solemn, Feng Xi was calm from beginning to end.
"So, are they infected with the plague?"
Bai Yi was startled and said:
"Princess, you can call it plague if you want."
Feng Xi nodded and said concisely:
"Can you cure it?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Bai Yi paused again, while the other doctors who were following her turned pale.
This, this is a plague, isn’t the princess embarrassment for them by asking this!
However, what they didn't expect was that Bai Yi, who seemed slender and frail, nodded and said firmly to Feng Xi:
"Princess, please give me one night. Bai Yi is willing to try his best!"
"good."
Feng Xi nodded, took out two apples from her sleeves and threw them to her:
"Give them one to eat, and you to eat one too. Relax. After all, there's no point in being anxious."
Bai Yi: "..."
For a moment, she didn't know whether her sister-in-law was here to encourage her or to tear her down.
But she lowered her eyes and looked at the two apples in her hand, and remembered that Mr. Li Ge and her son had said that if you eat these apples, you will feel energetic, so she immediately washed them carefully with water. , and then picked up the one that belonged to him.
After one sip, it was sweet and delicious. As a doctor, Bai Yi's eyes widened almost instantly.
This apple...
