After the cannon fodder prostitute was reborn, she was favored by the entire royal family
Chapter 72: Strange disease
Su Xiaoxiao said casually: "Let's find a scapegoat."
In previous lives, novels and TV series all acted like this.
"What if the scapegoat they are looking for is Gu Qing, the Minister of Rites?"
"The Minister of Rites, he is a suitable scapegoat..." The casual attitude on Su Xiaoxiao's face suddenly froze, her eyes widened, and her tone increased by three points, "What? Gu Qing? They asked Gu Qing to take the blame?!"
Gu Qing is the eldest brother of her second sister-in-law and mother-in-law Xia Zhiyu, Gu Mengxi.
In the novel, Gu Qing was implicated by his grandfather’s family and his entire family was executed.
Xuanyuan Qingmu glanced at her lightly: "This scapegoat is indeed quite suitable."
Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand to wipe her face and looked at him, "Do you have any way to save him?"
Although the tone was questioning, it was more than affirmative.
"Why should I save him?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "Gu Qing will not stand on Lin Wanru's side."
Xuanyuan Qingmu's cold voice said without any emotion, "So what?"
Su Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip.
In his previous life, when they were young, Gu Qing often made some strange gadgets for her and Xia Zhiyu, and he loved them very much.
Gu Qing had no children until his death and gave all his love to Xia Zhiyu and her.
Gu Qing, she must be saved!
"If you save Uncle Gu, I have a way to get the Third Prince to support you."
The biological mother of the third prince Xuanyuan Lang is Gu Qing's sister. Her aunt Gu's sister is the concubine Gu Man.
Xuanyuan Lang seemed to be frail from his mother's womb, but in fact it was caused by Gu Man being poisoned when she was pregnant, and the frailty was caused by intrauterine poisoning.
On the day of the festival, at Xuanling Temple, she checked Xuanyuan Lang's pulse. His poison could be detoxified, but the detoxification steps were cumbersome and time-consuming.
Xuanyuan Qingmu glanced at her lightly: "Madam, don't forget that you promised me that you would do your best to help me win that position."
The implication is that obtaining Xuanyuan Lang's support is within the scope of the agreement.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened, and she gritted her teeth, "I will help you find the other herbs in Yi Meng San Sheng. You only need to look for Ruomenghua and Xuanyou Grass."
Xuanyuan Qingmu narrowed his eyes: "What are the other herbs?"
"Prajna leaves, green radish fruits, orioles tail heads..."
Listening to Su Xiaoxiao's list of names of medicinal herbs, Xuanyuan Qingmu's eyes became darker and darker.
After a while, he slowly spoke, "Although Prajna leaves are not as hard to find as Ruomenghua and Xuanyoucao, they are also extremely difficult to find herbs. Green radish fruits and other rare ones are not that low. Can you really save them?"
"
Su Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes and said firmly, "Yes."
Xuanyuan Qingmu looked at her for a moment, then moved his eyes away and walked out, "Go somewhere with me again."
Su Xiaoxiao put the incense ash into the medical space and followed Xuanyuan Qingmu out.
She looked at the herbs in the medical space, her heart bleeding.
Goodbye, my little darlings...
Wow, I feel so distressed, I haven’t even warmed up yet!
Su Xiaoxiao followed Xuanyuan Qingmu dejectedly.
She now seriously suspects that her medical space has been bought by Xuanyuan Qingmu!!!
Otherwise, why do the rare herbs that appear are exactly what Xuanyuan Qingmu needs for detoxification?!
Xuanyuan Qingmu looked at the mournful look of the girl behind him from the corner of his eyes. He felt a little better and his steps became more brisk.
Not long after, Xuanyuan Qingmu brought Su Xiaoxiao to a remote mansion.
Inside the mansion, there was a groan of pain.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, crossed Xuanyuan Qingmu, stepped forward and opened the door.
The secret guard guarding the door saw Xuanyuan Qingmu coming with Su Xiaoxiao, but did not stop her.
The door of the mansion opened, and the scene inside made her frown even tighter.
She closed the door behind her back and looked at Xuanyuan Qingmu, "Does this happen only here? Does it happen in other places?"
Xuanyuan Qingmu's eyebrows were deep and he spoke solemnly, "Yun Ming discovered it three days ago. He secretly locked up all the people here. Anyone who has been in contact with these people, even if they don't show symptoms, is kept alone in the mansion next door."
Su Xiaoxiao murmured in a low voice: "Thankfully you locked them all up."
As she spoke, her eyebrows darkened, "Does Emperor Zhaoyang know about this?"
Xuanyuan Qingmu shook his head: "The onset of illness is too fast. I'm not sure what the disease is. I plan to tell the meeting tomorrow."
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath: "Where was the first patient found?"
"The ruined temple not far ahead was where beggars rested. The first patient had a fever at first, and two days later a red rash appeared all over his body. He had diarrhea and vomiting accompanied by high fever, and he died."
"Where's the body?"
"Thrown into a mass grave."
Su Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank and she wanted to scold her.
After taking a few deep breaths to suppress the evil spirit of Fenji in her body, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Where are the mass graves?"
Seeing her appearance, Xuanyuan Qingmu also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Back Mountain, in the past three days, no one else has been there except the person who threw the body."
Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Immediately report to Emperor Zhaoyang of the Ming Dynasty and send an imperial doctor to thoroughly check all those with fever in Kyoto and send them all to this quarantine, including those who have been in contact, and all the corpses in the mass graves will be incinerated!
When incineration, cover your mouth and nose, and when the incineration is over, take off your clothes and burn them.”
"Do as the princess says."
Although he didn't understand what isolation meant, it didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning of Su Xiaoxiao's entire sentence.
Su Xiaoxiao stared at the door of the house with an ugly expression.
Just from a quick glance, she was able to confirm that these people in the mansion had smallpox!
In previous lives, smallpox was one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate. It was highly contagious and severely ill.
People who have never had smallpox or been vaccinated against smallpox can be infected, which mainly manifests as severe viremia and high mortality after infection.
The most effective way to prevent smallpox is vaccination with cowpox.
"Have you ever had similar symptoms before?"
Xuanyuan Qingmu shook his head: "This is the first time I've seen him. I've sent several doctors here in the past two days, but they were unable to do anything. More and more people are getting sick and dying, and the bodies are all thrown in mass graves."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed.
Smallpox virus mainly invades the human body through the respiratory mucosa and is transmitted through droplet inhalation or direct contact.
If medical protective clothing is available, the probability of doctors contracting the disease can be greatly reduced.
Biting her lower lip, she looked at Xuanyuan Qingmu, "It's a ten-mile radius, closed, no entry allowed, no exit allowed!"
The palace exploded as a piece of news came in.
Xia Jiangyi, Cang Ming, Qi Yuan and other important ministers were summoned to the imperial study.
"What? There's an infectious disease outside the city?"
"The illness is rapid, almost death, and no cure can be found!"
"There are more and more people infected, and the cause cannot be found..."
"Xiao Xiao went outside the city?!" Xia Jiangyi's voice was raised an octave, causing several people in the study to twitch at the corners of their mouths.
Mr. Xia, is your focus distorted?
Emperor Zhaoyang pinched his brows and said in a deep voice: "Cang Ming, you and Gu Qing will lead people to conduct a thorough investigation of those who have fever outside the city. Once found, send them to the place outside the city that Yi'er said."
"Qi Yuan, you and Chang Xian lead the imperial army to blockade the capital. You are also allowed to enter and not leave!"
"Mr. Xia, you stay in the palace and are responsible for preparing the palace doctors and medicinal materials."
"I obey!"
Even though Xia Jiangyi was worried about Su Xiaoxiao, he could still distinguish between big love and small love.
He believes that Xiaoxiao will be safe!
Zhu Ya asked unwillingly: "Your Majesty, about the poisoning of Loulan's orphan..."
