The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

How could Meng Wenyao be so willing to return to the palace so easily if she didn't get enough goodwill from her, and she really wanted to do some good deeds.

"Mother, I'm not miserable. There are refugees everywhere in the capital. They come from far away places. Many people come to the capital. He is the only one in the family who has died. Compared with them, I have the protection of the Queen Mother. I don't know how many more people have come to the capital." happiness.

I have been begging everywhere these days and have collected 9,000 taels of silver and 9,000 loads of rice. Two porridge sheds have been set up outside Jingxin Nunnery. I give porridge to the victims every day. I feel very peaceful and do not feel any pain at all. . "

The Queen Mother did not expect that Meng Wenyao had done so many things outside, and she was shocked and excited. Before Meng Wenyao left, the Queen Mother gave her another 10,000 taels of silver to help the victims.

At night, while Meng Wenyao was lying on the bed, the system took the initiative to talk to her.

[Host, the favorability value has increased to 16. 】

"Yeah! The Queen Mother must have told the Emperor. It seems that I will continue to work hard."

On the second day, Meng Wenyao started giving porridge with passion, and also took the time to teach the orphans and widowed mothers. The abbot and his wife watched silently, and already planned to accept Meng Wenyao as his direct disciple.

A few days passed like this, and the Queen Mother once again summoned Meng Wenyao to enter the palace.

"Yao'er, don't go out when you come back this time."

How can that be done? The favorability value is only a little bit. Meng Wenyao said coquettishly: "My dear, Yao'er has only been doing good deeds for a few days, how can she give up halfway?"

The Queen Mother sighed heavily and said: "The Ai family is not stopping you from doing good deeds. The situation has actually changed. There is a plague in Tongzhou. I heard it will spread to the capital soon. You can't go out anymore."

Meng Wenyao was stunned. Is the situation so critical? Seeing those refugees these days has made her extremely uncomfortable.

Natural and man-made disasters in this world can only be overcome by force. Even the emperor cannot resist floods and droughts.

Now there is another plague. What should those who are infected with the plague do? How widespread will the plague spread and how much damage will it cause?

Meng Wenyao didn't dare to think: "Empress, are you lying to me? Did you just hear it from hearsay?"

"Hey, the Ai family heard it from the emperor himself. The Tongzhou magistrate handed over the certificate early in the morning. There can be no mistake."

Meng Wenyao had no time to mourn the spring and autumn. She tried hard to recall some methods of dealing with the plague, how to disinfect, how to prevent the infection...

"Empress, I want to see the emperor."

Although she has no medical skills, she knows about the measures for epidemic prevention and wants to inform decision-makers as soon as possible, hoping to implement them effectively and reduce the number of infected people.

The emperor was busy dealing with the disaster these days, and it was said that he could not get a good night's sleep. The queen mother was also very worried, and hurriedly asked the eunuch to invite the emperor to come over for dinner.

When the emperor arrived at Anle Palace in the evening, he obviously did not expect that Meng Wenyao was there. He was stunned for a moment and then returned to normal in an instant.

Meng Wenyao did not hesitate and handed the various measures she had written in the afternoon to the emperor. The emperor opened them and read them. His eyes became brighter and brighter as he read them. After reading them, he couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get them?"

With a dry cough, Meng Wenyao explained the reason she had thought up in the afternoon: "My daughter took in many orphans and children in Jingxin nunnery. Their families all died of illness on the way to escape, so my daughter was thinking about how they would make a living in the future.

So the court ladies thought that they could read and learn some medical skills. Even if they didn't have talent and would not be able to cure diseases and save people in the future, they could at least take care of themselves and not die easily because of ignorance.

So in the past few days, I have read a lot of medical books. These are some of the gains from reading the medical books. "

After hearing Meng Wenyao's reasons, the emperor's indifferent expression gradually softened and asked: "Do you want to teach them medical skills?"

Meng Wenyao coughed dryly and said with embarrassment: "How can I know these things? Now I am teaching them to read and practice calligraphy, and then see which medical categories are suitable for them to learn, such as treating trauma or treating women's childbirth, so I read a lot of Medical books, I hope to find something suitable for them to study."

"Well, that's a good idea."

He was praised unexpectedly, and Meng Wenyao was even more diligent in introducing her dream.

"My daughter wants to take in those orphans and widows. After teaching them how to read and write, they will all learn medical skills. In the future, I will build a women's medical college to give those women who have no home to make a living and be respected."

Meng Wenyao had a bright eye. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. Giving porridge can never allow those people to live a stable life. It is best to have skills. In this world, many skills are passed down from father to son, master and apprentice, and those refugees do not have them at all. Opportunity to learn skills, if she can provide this opportunity, she is willing even if the favorability score cannot be increased.

"good."

The emperor nodded, even with a smile in his eyes.

"Also, I hope the emperor can assign a few imperial doctors to teach them medical skills."

"Okay, let's wait until after the epidemic."

The two of them tacitly erased the incident and communicated without any embarrassment. The Queen Mother looked on, unable to tell whether she was happy or uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's eat first, and then we'll talk after you finish eating."

After the three of them finished eating, the emperor and Meng Wenyao discussed the implementation of some specific measures before saying goodbye and leaving.

The next day, Meng Wenyao received the emperor's approval and went to the Imperial Hospital for internship.

Because of the epidemic, the doctors at the Imperial Hospital were either nervously reading ancient books or anxiously studying new formulas, hoping to eliminate the plague as soon as possible.

Meng Wenyao had been in Tai Hospital for a few days and could already feel the tense atmosphere. With the capital being sealed off, this tension reached its peak.

A large number of refugees and people who came from Tongzhou to escape the epidemic gathered outside the city. Soon, large numbers of people outside the city were infected with the plague by Tongzhou people.

The city gates were sealed, they lacked medical treatment, and many people died every day. People outside the city were in panic all the time, and finally they rioted.

The Zhen Guogong of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing rushed to suppress it, but if the panic is not relieved, they may riot again.

There are even songs among the refugees: the heaven and the earth collapse, the world is in chaos, the emperor moves, the world is settled.

The finger points directly at the emperor. It was the emperor's lack of virtue that caused the world to suffer disasters. If the emperor were replaced by someone else, the world would be peaceful.

After the Queen Mother heard about it, most of her hair turned gray overnight. Meng Wenyao was so anxious that she hurriedly went to find the emperor.

Outside the Qinzheng Hall, the ministers were suggesting: "Your Majesty, the best plan now is to send a royal family member outside the city to appease the people."

Another minister suggested: "I also think it's very good. If any prince of the clan can calm down this turmoil, the emperor may be able to appease him with a high position."

This is a hint that the emperor has promised that if any prince is willing to go outside the city to appease the people, he will be adopted and established as the prince when the matter is accomplished.

At this point, the emperor has no better way. People among the refugees are in panic, and the emperor's line has no heirs. There are only two people in the palace, he and the queen mother, and they can only choose from the clan.
