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

Chapter 250 Dealing with the Epidemic
The villain in Anji's heart had shrunk into a quail at this moment, and he himself, because he still had to consider his face as the eunuch supervisor, still stood straight and motionless at the door, pretending to be calm, and his eyes were unwilling to look into the house at all.

He had finally cleaned up the food he had spilled. By this time the two people inside had already started eating, but Angie's little heart was still beating wildly.

Oh my god, what did I just hear?!
That’s what Angie thought, and so did Mei Qian.

She also wanted to know what she had just heard. Even when facing Angie's extremely shocked expression, Mei Qian wondered if she had not understood the other meanings in Qi Chen's words.

She was holding the same rice porridge as Qi Chen. She drank it silently while stealing glances at Qi Chen, hoping that she could continue the previous topic during the meal.

But after dinner, Qi Chen continued the previous topic.

He looked like he was going to let you go if you couldn't explain yourself today.

Why is this person so twisted?

Mei Qian spat in her heart, but she still answered honestly, "It's not that you can't fulfill my wish, but I can do it myself.

If...if something unexpected happens and it can't be completed, I'll talk to you then, okay?"

Qi Zhen: "..."

After hearing Mei Qian's answer, Qi Chen felt that it would be better not to listen.

Mei Qian's words were so straightforward that he felt like he was having a heart attack.

"Okay, this promise is still valid. By the way, can you tell me what happened during the time I was unconscious?"

Qi Chen finally dropped the topic and started talking to Mei Qian about business.

"Your Highness, you have been in a coma for a day and a night. I have only arranged many things, and there are no results yet. The only result is... the reason for this epidemic is that the water source is polluted."

"Water pollution?"

"Ah."

Mei Qian told the story about the disaster caused by the corpse being not cleaned thoroughly and left in the river, where it was accidentally drunk by the soldiers.

Qi Chen also sighed and said, "The casualties in the battle in the capital were indeed not small. If there were any floods in the past, similar problems would occur. I'm afraid they were all caused by similar reasons... By the way, do you still have the medicine to cure me?"

"There are three left." Mei Qian said without hesitation. Although she did have a lot, she couldn't save everyone due to the epidemic in Beijing.

After this incident, Mei Qian was also thinking about asking the chef from the imperial kitchen to make some delicious food next time and exploring new exchanges.

Change to some similar medicinal foods with good effects.

"If you give this medicine to the doctor, can he research it out?"

Qi Chen didn't mean to rely entirely on Mei Qian, he just wanted to study Mei Qian's medicine.

"This is my master's unique secret method. I really don't know how to do it."

Whether it was the high-energy milk tea powder or the fact that allowed Qi Chen to quickly escape from the epidemic, it was naturally the mysterious "Tianshi Mansion" behind Mei Qian.

After Mei Qian finished saying all this, she was worried that Qi Chen would not believe her, so she took out a crystal bottle containing a drop of floral dew, which surprised Qi Chen.

"This way... I really can't tell what it's made of."

Qi Chen was a little disappointed looking at the crystal bottle, but Mei Qian also said: "Doctor Mu has already said that as long as the source is controlled and the medicine is taken, it will be fine."

"Can you leave one of the remaining three for Chu Ji?"

"Yes, I did mean that. However, I saw a person have a strong reaction after drinking this medicine, so I asked someone to split the medicine into two parts. One was given to the teacher and the other to Doctor Mu."

Mei Qian didn't know how good Mu Yizheng's medical skills were, but just seeing that he was kept by Qi Chen's side, and that he had been appointed as Yizheng before Qi Chen became emperor, that was already amazing. Such a person must not fall!

Whether you are sick or not, detoxify first.

"Thank you."

“What are you thanking me for? Special times call for special measures.

Your Highness, you were not awake before, and the teacher and all the adults were all fooled. I am a little scared to do these things alone. If you and the teacher are both well, then my pressure will be much less~"

"Yes, by the way, tell me how the infected people were dealt with this time."

Things were gradually getting back on track. Mei Qian listened to Qi Chen's questions of concern and naturally answered them one by one without hiding anything.

In fact, Mei Qian said that not much happened during the day, but the amount of work assigned was not small at all.

Whether it was the isolation and placement of patients, or the martial law inside and outside the city, and the fact that the people in the city were not allowed to leave their homes at will, Mei Qian had made all the arrangements very detailed and appropriate.

"If there is an infected person in a city household, a blue lantern will be hung at the door. When the patrolling soldiers see it, they will send someone to take the person away. At that time, the family will also receive special attention and follow-up."

"Are there enough people?"

Qi Chen had no complaints about Mei Qian's arrangements, but was just worried that there would not be enough manpower.

Fortunately, after this incident in the military camp, less than three thousand people were found to have exact symptoms, and some of them were infected because they had contact with those who were sick.

"It's good to have enough people, but we are afraid that unhealthy people will meet those unhealthy people, and we will be the ones who suffer in the end. We must not make a mess when we go there at this time."

Qi Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, and since he had slept in bed for a whole day and night, he didn't feel anything at all now.

Mei Qian had already started to support her chin with her hands and started pecking at rice like a chicken. Seeing this, Qi Chen told Mei Qian to go back and rest. Mei Qian did not refuse and rubbed her eyes and went out. When she turned in that direction, Qi Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Anji, where is Mei Qian going?"

"In reply to your Highness, Master Mei has been staying in the palace since you fell ill and fainted yesterday. I have arranged for Master Mei to rest in the back hall."

After Anji finished speaking, he saw that Qi Chen didn't say a word. He secretly looked up and glanced at Qi Chen, and was caught by Qi Chen.

Angie: “…”

"The palace gates are now closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission. Send someone to serve her well, and satisfy Mei Qian's needs."

"promise."

···
Compared to Qi Chen, whose fever lasted for a whole day and a night before he was able to get rid of it and get half a drop of Mei Qian's flower dew, Chu Ji's fever lasted for two days and a night before it was able to get rid of it.

On the evening of the second day, when Mu Ying was instructing him on the next matters, news came from outside the palace that Chu Ji's fever had completely subsided and he just needed to take good care of himself from then on.

But when the word "recuperation" was used, Qi Chen couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

This epidemic was very severe. Even after Chu Ji and his friends’ fevers had completely subsided, they were still very weak and needed to be well nursed back to health.

Despite Qi Chen's "negative example", the medical officer did not believe that everyone could be as lucky as Qi Chen. Several soldiers in the barracks died of this disease a few days ago.

Therefore, when the medical officer mentioned the death case, everyone present turned serious...

Mei Qian: Teacher, get up and work.

Chu Ji: I am resting, please don't cue~
