Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 158 The Plague (1)
"Princess Qi. Soldiers are dying one after another every day these days, and the military doctors are helpless. Just last night... a few military doctors had already left at night, and now only Doctor Li and his apprentice Fulin are still here. In the barracks, the sickness of the soldiers was treated."

"What!" Huangfu Chengyao stood up and roared angrily, "These old bastards, who have been military doctors for so many years, are so greedy for life and afraid of death, they dare to leave sick soldiers and run away!"

"Chengyao, don't get excited, sit down first." Xuan Haiyue said, "Didn't General Yu chase those military doctors back?"

"Alas..." Yu Zhentian shook his head in confusion, and sighed, "The soldier has been ill for two months, and those military doctors have tried their best. If their medical skills are really useful, the soldier's illness will have long since passed." Alright. It’s useless even if you catch them back, it’s better to leave.”

Xuan Haiyue nodded and continued: "The most important thing now is the illness of the soldiers. On the way here, I also heard that the soldiers were seriously ill this time. In just a few days, the soldiers died one after another. It's really strange. I heard from the emperor that General Yu said that the soldiers were suffering from typhoid fever?"

"Yes, my concubine, according to the diagnosis and treatment results of several medical officers, it is indeed typhoid fever. That's why I wrote this in the brochure."

"Oh?" Xuan Haiyue raised her eyebrows, obviously doubting such a conclusion, "General Yu, you should send someone to take me to see the sick soldiers first, I am proficient in medical skills and want to see this so-called Typhoid fever. Lord Hou and General Yuanping will discuss other matters with General Yu in the tent."

"Princess, please ask my subordinates to go and have a look with you." Huangfu Chengyao said.

Xuan Haiyue nodded and said, "Okay, Cheng Yao and Yunfeng Xiao Rui will follow Ben Gong."

"Commander Wang, you can take the princess." Yu Zhentian said.

Commander Wang nodded, stood up and cupped his hands at Xuan Haiyue and said, "My subordinate, Wang De, has seen the princess."

Xuan Haiyue nodded and said, "Okay, Commander Wang will lead the way."

As soon as she stepped into the place where the sick soldiers were placed, Xuan Haiyue was stung by the sight in front of her eyes.Since many soldiers fell ill, Yu Zhentian gathered the sick soldiers and resettled them in one place.

Most of the sick soldiers were housed in makeshift tents, and the sound of groans, vomiting, and the smell of stench and herbs filled the place.

The corpses were carried out one by one and piled up on a wooden frame full of firewood in the distance. Some people who were sluggish, panicked or sad squatted beside the wooden frame, the despair in their eyes made people tremble.

Xuan Haiyue walked into a tent at random, and the tent was full of sick soldiers lying there, with constant coughing sounds coming from their mouths.She picked up a soldier's hand, felt his pulse, frowned slightly, looked at the soldier, and said softly, "Brother, stick out your tongue and let me see."

"You are...cough...cough..." The soldier sat up hastily, with a sullen face, coughing continuously, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

"Don't move around, trust me, I'm here to save you, come... stick out your tongue and show me." Xuan Haiyue comforted.

"You... Could it be Princess Feng?" The soldier looked at her with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Xuan Haiyue nodded, and the soldiers were shocked when they heard it. They waited and waited and finally expected the Feng Family Army to come. The woman in white in front of them is the legendary Princess Feng, that's great!They are saved.The soldier opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.

Xuanhai Yuezai looked at it carefully, and frowned.Immediately he regained his composure, pulled the quilt for him, and said softly: "Brother, you should rest well first, don't worry, I will cure you no matter what."

"Thank you...thank you, Princess. Please... Princess... please save us..." the soldier stammered, his brows filled with pleading.

"Commander Wang, where is the medical officer?" Xuan Haiyue said to Wang De after walking out of the tent.

"Medical officer Li is in a certain tent, and my subordinates will find him immediately." Wang De clasped his hands and hurried over after speaking.

"What does the princess think is wrong with these soldiers' illnesses?" Huangfu Chengyao asked.

"I suspect that the illness of these soldiers is not typhoid, but plague." Xuan Haiyue frowned.

"Ah? Plague." Huangfu Chengyao and Yunfeng Xiao Rui looked at each other in surprise.

"Wangfei can have a clear answer, is this really a plague?" Huangfu Chengyao said slightly seriously.

"It's almost the same, but I have to call the medical officer in charge of the treatment to come over and ask about the situation of these soldiers."

After Gao Jingfei finished his work in one tent, he hurried to the other tents. As soon as he came out, he saw Xuan Haiyue and Huangfu Chengyao standing outside the tent.He walked over curiously, and called softly: "Princess Feng..."

As soon as Xuan Haiyue and the others turned their heads, they saw a handsome man in an indigo shirt standing in front of them, "Haiyue! It's really you!" Gao Jingfei exclaimed happily.

"You are... Jing Fei!" Xuan Haiyue exclaimed happily.

Gao Jingfei happily walked forward, looked at Xuan Haiyue and said, "It's me, it's me, Haiyue, long time no see."

"Yeah, Jingfei, we haven't seen each other for a whole year since the last time we left in Lingzhou." Xuan Haiyue said happily, "I didn't expect that we would meet here. By the way, why did you meet in General Yu?" in the barracks?"

"You don't know, General Yu Zhentian is my uncle, and I came to help uncle at the order of my mother." Gao Jingfei said.

"So that's how it is. It's such a coincidence that we have another help with you. Let me introduce to you, this is Huangfu Chengyao, a close friend of Fengwangfu." Xuan Haiyue introduced to Gao Jingfei.

"It turns out to be the second son of the Huangfu family. I'm Gao Jingfei, be polite."

"I really didn't expect to meet the third young master of the Gao family here. It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know if your two elder brothers are okay?" Huangfu Chengyao said with a smile.

"My two elder brothers are still at home in the northeast, and everything is fine."

Then Xuan Haiyue introduced Yunfeng Xiao Rui and others to Gao Jingfei, and Gao Jingfei had met them all.

"Cousin!" Yuqin walked over with Doctor Li.

"Cousin, come here, let me introduce you, this is Princess Feng Xuanhaiyue." Gao Jingfei laughed.

"Princess Feng is polite. I am Yuqin, the daughter of General Yu Zhentian. I heard that Princess Feng is a hero among women. It is really a blessing to meet you today." Yuqin smiled at Xuan Haiyue.

"Hello, Miss Yu." Xuan Haiyue smiled.

Yuqin secretly looked at Xuan Haiyue in front of her, and saw that she was wearing a pure white dress, her hair was casually tied into a simple bun, her appearance was elegant and beautiful, and her gestures added a sense of elegance.It is said that Feng Wang is very fond of this princess, and seeing her today is really extraordinary.
