Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 249 Qi Chen: Why can’t I do that?

"It's really hard for you to go out and investigate in such hot weather."

Mu Ying didn't expect that when he went out of the city to investigate the source of the epidemic, the city was under martial law and the palace was sealed.

As a result, he entered the palace with the results of his investigation, but he did not see Qi Chen either. The first person he saw was Mei Qian.

Is this the sun rising from the west?

Is Mei Qian the only person in charge in the entire capital?
Through the screen, Mei Qian had someone bring a pot of cold tea to Mu Ying, and asked Mu Ying to speak slowly.

Mu Ying did not refuse. He also felt that he needed to drink some herbal tea to calm himself down. Was he hallucinating to see that Mei Qian was in charge of everything?

The moment Mu Ying drank the herbal tea, he felt extremely comfortable. He hadn't eaten much all night, but now he actually felt full from drinking the water.

Then, Mei Qian is still the boss_(：3」∠)_
"Yesterday I was ordered to go out of the city to investigate the infection. I investigated overnight and found that the soldier who first showed symptoms of illness drank river water soaked with corpses while on patrol in the hot weather."

"Where did the body come from?"

Mei Qian frowned, she recalled the matter of dealing with corpses when she first came to Beijing, and she even deliberately pointed it out when she passed by.

"Some of the bodies of Xirong people may have died while fleeing. The place where they died was a bit remote and they were not found. Later, several heavy rains washed them from the shore into the river."

As for why Mu Ying thought that the bodies were washed into the river by heavy rain, it was mainly because they made this judgment based on the surrounding environment when they found the bodies.

When Mu Ying was checking, he naturally inquired about the disposal plan for these bodies, worried that there might be other bodies that were not handled properly.

As a result, when he learned that Mei Qian had ordered all the Xirong soldiers to be burned, he was also a little more surprised at Mei Qian.

He didn't expect Mei Qian to do this.

"If the body is not handled promptly after death, it will rot in this weather and pollute the water source, which can easily make people sick."

Mei Qian explained.

However, Mei Qian did not expect that the raw food this time seemed to be quite contagious. According to Mu Ying, many people have been infected.

Thinking of this, Mei Qian hoped that Qi Chen would get up quickly, otherwise it would make too much noise if she got busy on her own, and she didn't know if anyone would refuse to cooperate with her.

Mei Qian took Hua Lu to see Qi Chen after breakfast in the morning. Now Qi Chen is still in a coma.

Mei Qian was scared at that time. What if Qi Chen fell asleep and the toxins were all over his body?

Fortunately, in the end she heard from Angie that Qi Chen felt a little hot on his back and was sweating a lot.

As for the thick layer of mud on Qi Chen's body, Anji did not tell Mei Qian for the sake of Qi Chen's image.

"Now that there is a water source problem, I have sent people to strictly check all water sources in the capital area. I heard that you have made arrangements for the sick people?"

"Yes, it's arranged. Everyone is quarantined. By the way, since it's a water source issue, inform everyone that water must be boiled before drinking. No one is allowed to drink cold water directly, even in hot weather."

Mu Ying listened to Mei Qian's arrangements and felt very strange for a moment.

Logically speaking, he should listen to Qi Chen's orders, but now Qi Chen is also sick, so why is it Mei Qian's turn?
He was about to speak when suddenly, his stomach made a loud gurgling sound.

"Mu Ying?"

Mei Qian also heard it.

"Excuse me, I'll take my leave first." Mu Ying immediately stood up, holding his stomach and was about to walk out.

He seems to have a stomachache.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle!
Mei Qian heard it very clearly this time. From the look of the person, she knew that he was also infected. The floral dew she had just added was effective!

"Ah~"

Mei Qian sighed. She didn't expect that Mu Ying would be infected after going out. The breakfast that Angie prepared for her this morning was replaced with eight drops of floral dew.

She can't save many people with just a little bit of effort.

She still has to do an experiment later to see how many people this drop of floral dew can save.

···
When Qi Chen woke up, he saw two figures standing outside his bed curtains through the veil beside the bed.

He was very familiar with the voice of one of them.

"Doctor Mu, didn't you say that the prince seemed to have recovered a lot? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"In reply to Lord Mei, the prince has just recovered from a serious illness and probably needs some sleep to recuperate." "Then can you give him some nourishing medicine?"

Mei Qian had already thought of high-energy milk tea powder. She still had some in her space. She had previously had a private chat with Li Youyou, and she said that it was the scorching heat season where she was.

High-energy milk tea powder is also a limited-season item, with a redemption channel specifically provided around the blizzard season.

But the high-energy milk tea powder can make Qi Chen recover and get back to work.

There is a severe shortage of manpower in the capital city now, because a general attack will be launched against the Western Rong soldiers in Xing'an Prefecture in the later stage, and many people and troops have not yet entered the capital.

Now look what has happened. We are almost all wiped out by this epidemic. What is this?
"Cough cough!"

Qi Chen coughed, and Mei Qian heard the noise inside. Anji beside him quickly lifted the gauze curtain and let Mei Qian and Mu Yizheng walk in together. When he saw that Qi Chen had woken up, Anji happily shouted auspicious words such as "God bless you".

Doctor Mu immediately stepped forward to take Qi Chen's pulse again. He was surprised that Qi Chen recovered so quickly that he even doubted whether Qi Chen was really infected with the epidemic.

The adults in other mansions were still sick, but Qi Chen fell ill yesterday and recovered today. This was a bit abnormal.

Doctor Mu was so frightened that he gave Qi Chen several more careful diagnoses. Finally, he dared to say in a low voice that Qi Chen was indeed cured, but he still needed recuperation.

When Qi Chen woke up, everyone became busy all night.

After hearing Mei Qian's order, Anji immediately ran to the imperial kitchen, leaving Mei Qian alone in Qi Chen's bedroom, feeling a little awkward.

"Come, while they are not here, I still have some of the sect's secret medicine, drink some first."

The embarrassment was only temporary, and Mei Qian found a job for herself.

Looking at Qi Chen's pale face, Mei Qian directly poured a glass of water and added milk tea powder into it in front of Qi Chen.

Qi Chen then handed the milk tea to him, and he could faintly smell that familiar scent.

"Is it the medicine you gave me that day?"

"Huh? Do you still remember?"

Mei Qian saw that Qi Chen had already recognized her, so she naturally nodded in acknowledgement.

Qi Chen took the cup and drank it without hesitation. It gave him a similar experience as last time, but Qi Chen also felt something else.

"This tastes really good, delicious."

"It's as if you haven't drunk it before."

"The one you gave me earlier... I was in such a mess that day that I couldn't put it in the tea."

Mei Qian just smiled and said, "It doesn't need tea, the normal brew is also delicious, you are exaggerating."

"I ate it directly with the blood in my mouth, and I couldn't tell what it tasted like."

Mei Qian: "..."

"You saved me again." Qi Chen suddenly mentioned this in a serious tone, looking up at Mei Qian, "You, is there anything you want? You saved me twice, no matter what you ask, I will agree to it."

Mei Qian: 0.0?

When Mei Qian heard Qi Chen's words, she really started to think about what she really wanted in terms of wealth, fame, and fortune.

But after thinking for a while, Mei Qian suddenly realized that she could have these things if she worked hard now and waited until Qi Chen ascended the throne.

Qi Chen looked at Mei Qian. Under the dim light, Qi Chen looked at Mei Qian and actually saw gracefulness and gentleness in the quiet Mei Qian.

For a moment, he thought that if Mei Qian asked for his life, he would give it to her.

But after a while, he heard Mei Qian sigh suddenly, then looked at Qi Chen and said, "I can't think of what you can give me?"

Qi Chen was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he felt that this was not right. He became anxious and said hurriedly: "Why can't I do this? What's wrong with me?"

Suddenly, a loud "bang" drew Mei Qian and Qi Chen's attention to the door.

Anji, who was leading the way in carrying the food, was horrified, and the things in his hands fell to the ground in fear...

Angie: Your Majesty is dying?!
Qi Chen:? ? I clearly said no!
Angie: Your Majesty can’t do this anymore?

Qi Chen: Why can’t I do that?!
Angie: I, I don’t know either QAQ
Mei Qian: =. =
