Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

"Be careful!"

Watching her leave without looking back, Zhu Youxiao felt a sense of loss.

He knew she had to go, otherwise what would happen to the people of Taiyuan?

He looked at the resettlement area not far outside the city, where the tents were being separated and dispersed under the command of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, like clusters of lotus leaves being blown away one by one.

He took a breath, adjusted his mood, went downstairs and went straight to the prefectural government office.

On the other side, it was quarter of an hour later when Liu Yue returned to the intensive care isolation area at the South Gate.

The so-called intensive care isolation area is nothing more than finding a flat ground, setting up a few poles, and then using cloth curtains to enclose a square space of six meters long and thirty meters wide, and finally opening a door curtain in the middle.

The patients lay directly on the floor with their heads exposed to the sun.

This place is two hundred meters away from the tent resettlement area and one hundred meters away from the mild illness isolation area. It is guarded by masked Jinyiwei on all sides.

At this moment, there were about forty or fifty people lying in a crooked manner inside.

Some people have hot and cold, some have splitting headaches, some have red and swollen bodies, some have black tongues, some have bloodshot eyes, and some are drowsy and unconscious...

Screams of pain were heard at this time.

As soon as Liu Yue lifted the door curtain, a female doctor came up and whispered in her ear.

"Madam, two more people left just now. They were transferred here directly from the resettlement area after you left."

Liu Yue couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "What were the symptoms at that time?"

"The tongue is charred and the nose is like soot."

Liu Yue sighed: "Well, it's just that we found it too late. If he had been brought here earlier, he could have been saved."

She looked at the grieving patients in front of her, full of pity.

The conditions of these people have developed to different degrees, and the medications and acupuncture required are different.

As a result, the staffing situation seems even more insufficient. I really hope the teachers can arrive earlier.

She shook her head to get rid of the useless emotions and quickly devoted herself to the work of treating the patients.

The next day, the number of critically ill patients suddenly increased to 160.

In the quarantine area, wailing sounds were heard one after another, and the Jinyiwei guarding a few feet away outside were already accustomed to it.

Liu Yue and the doctors were busy all morning and were very tired, but they forgot about the hard work and only felt frustrated again.

Just now another patient could not be saved and was carried away.

Liu Yue sighed softly and encouraged other doctors to continue treating other patients.

At this moment, a patient suddenly started shouting madly.

"Stop pretending here! I know that everyone who is dragged here will die!"

"I'm counting. The one who was just carried out is the fifth person to die today!"

"We were brought here just to die!"

The patient became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally screamed.

"Die! We all have to die!"

The other patients immediately became terrified, and those who still had strength started shouting and grabbing at the doctors.

"I don't want to die! I haven't even got married yet!"

"Help me, doctor!"

Pain makes people twisted, and death makes people crazy.

Many patients had lost their minds, and one even rushed towards the doctors screaming.

"If we have to die, let's die together!"

The situation is extremely critical. If these patients tear off their protective equipment, there is a 99% chance that they will be infected with the plague!

The doctors never expected such a situation to happen and they ran back in fear.

While running, he shouted to Liu Yue: "My queen, run away!"

Only half of the more than one hundred people went crazy, and the scene was quite chaotic.

Seeing this, Liu Yue's face darkened.

He tore open his white robe, pulled out a shiny revolver from his inner pocket, pointed it directly at the patient who was shouting "Let's die together", and pulled the trigger.

All actions and reactions take only two breaths.

boom! ! !

Suddenly, gunshots rang out across the wilderness.

The patient was shot in the middle of his eyebrows and fell to the ground.

Everyone in the quarantine area was stunned, as if they were stuck in a still picture.

Without saying a word, Liu Yue pointed the muzzle of the gun at the forehead of the patient who had attacked first.

"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish right now! If you want to live, lie down obediently and cooperate with the treatment!"

The patient couldn't even say a word as the ground was already wet.

"My lady, what is going on?"

Yang Peicong, a centurion of the Northern Pacification Division, was sent to guard the quarantine area.

He was frightened when he heard the gunshot and rushed over immediately. When he saw that Liu Yue was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If something really happened to the queen, I would probably have my family and property confiscated and my clan exterminated.

Liu Yue pointed at the patient who was shot and said, "It's okay, carry that person away!"

Yang Peicong quickly ordered people to clean the ground, and finally, feeling uneasy, he sent four Jinyiwei to guard the isolation area.

Liu Yue put the gun away and continued to treat patients as if nothing had happened. The other patients were very cooperative.

In front of His Majesty the Emperor, she is a docile kitten, but outside, she is not an ignorant little white.

To be able to become a medical commander means being a third-grade official who can be transferred to a town, and one must naturally have outstanding abilities in dealing with various emergencies.

She will always remember what her teacher said: In the face of epidemics and death, human nature is most likely to break the bottom line.

So after the outbreak, she always carried the revolver given to her by His Majesty with her.

Sadly, today it came in handy.

The epidemic continued to spread outside the city, and great changes had also taken place inside the city.

No one can be sure whether the pestilence virus has already spread into the city.

Zhu Youxiao felt that no matter what, it was still necessary to improve sanitation and disinfection in the city.

After separating from Liu Yue, he conveyed the order to clean up the city to Taiyuan Prefecture.

The next day, news of the epidemic was made public to the city.

The residents in the city immediately began to talk about it, and the tone suddenly changed from shock to anger.

"Oh my God! The plague has spread outside the city. What should I do?"

"The emperor is staying in the city with us. He is not afraid of them, so why should he be afraid of them?"

"Hehehe, he may think that his life is more precious than the emperor's, hahahaha!"

"That's right! The fact that the emperor can stay here means that our city is safe."

.......

In this way, people's hearts were calmed and they cooperated quite well with the government's work arrangements.

It’s just that the streets are less noisy than before, and everyone tries not to go out if possible.

In the next few days, Zhu Youxiao was busy inspecting the cleanliness of the streets, ditches, and alleys, sweeping lime powder, and sending people to collect wormwood and distribute it to the people in the city to fumigate their houses, etc.

In short, he tried his best to do everything he could think of and do, hoping that the epidemic would end soon and the people would suffer less.

Two days later, a piece of news spread among the people in the city.

Some residents who returned to the city from other places saw a large pit that had been dug on a hill one mile southwest of the city. The pit was filled with corpses and covered with a thick layer of lime.

A day later, people in the city began to suffer from an epidemic, and the people were in a panic.

Today is the fifth day since Zhu Youxiao and Liu Yue separated.

Night has fallen and the lights in the Cunxin Hall are bright.

Zhu Youxiao, who had been out on inspection for a day, was now looking through memorials in the hall.

"Cough cough!"

"Your Majesty, you didn't cough when you saw the Queen a few days ago, why are you coughing again now?"

"If I were to ask you, you're just too tired. You've been busy all day, so it's time to take a rest."

"Hey... I can't sleep! Where do you think Wu Youxing is now?"

"I estimate that we should have reached Datong by now, and it will take another three or four days to reach Taiyuan."

"It would be better if he could come earlier... ahem..."

He really hoped that Wu Youxing could arrive earlier to put an end to the plague. According to news, more than a hundred people had died of the plague outside the city, and he was very anxious.

"Your Majesty, you are coughing again. I will go get you some medicine."

After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao looked through memorials alone, most of which were about disaster relief in various prefectures.

As he read, his eyes blurred and he fell down on the jade table, with the memorial falling aside.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian came up with a bowl of medicine soup. Seeing him like this, he thought he had fallen asleep.

Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to cover him with a thin blanket, then held the medicine soup in his arms and sat on the steps waiting for him to wake up.

I waited from the beginning of the day to the hour of the morning, and even when I dozed off, His Majesty didn't wake up, so I was very curious.

Normally, when His Majesty is sleepy, he would have a light sleep on the jade table and wake up in half an hour. Why is there no movement for so long today?

He couldn't help but stand up and call out twice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

He reached up and gave it another gentle push.

The moment he touched Zhu Youxiao's shoulder, he felt a burning sensation.

Wei Zhongxian was so shocked that his bowl of soup fell to the ground with a bang.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, wake up!"

After shaking him several times but he still didn't wake up, Wei Zhongxian shouted in panic.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! His Majesty is ill! Go outside the city to find the queen!"

Chapter 400: Eunuch Wei! The command made him faint!

At Chou time, the lights in Taiyuan City were dim.

The people had already fallen asleep and the streets were silent.

Except for the Changchun Palace in the Prince Jin's Mansion, which became chaotic and noisy.

Several riders galloped in from the south gate, breaking the silence of the night.

The first rider was Liu Yue.

"drive!!!"

She whipped the horse hard to spur it on.

Just now, she had just laid down after a busy day when she heard the bad news from outside the tent. She was shocked and put on her clothes, went out of the tent, grabbed a fast horse and rushed straight to Prince Jin's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, please don't be in any trouble!"

The night wind ruffled her long hair and her heart, but it could not dry the tears from her eyes.

The last time, His Majesty was poisoned and fainted in the Prince of Dai's Palace. She knew it was an act.

But this time it is different. The Prince of Jin has already offered all his wealth, so there is no need for Your Majesty to do this again. It is obvious that he is really ill.
