The villagers affected by the disaster were concentrated and resettled near the ruined temples on the outskirts of the city. Once the plague broke out, it spread uncontrollably.

The imperial physicians have dispatched even the imperial physicians who stayed on duty, but the epidemic has not been brought under control at all.Fortunately, this place is remote and far away from other villages. Except for the homeless victims of the moat burst, no one else has been infected.

After praying for blessings, the emperor took Wei Musui and other ministers to the place where the victims were resettled. Wei Mucheng had no choice but to call a few imperial doctors to accompany the emperor first.It has to be said that no matter what kind of situation the Holy Majesty is dealing with, it does have a very good soothing effect.

Because it was getting late, the emperor listened to Wei Musui's advice and stayed overnight in the suburbs of Beijing.Wei Mucheng was so busy that he couldn't care less about dissuading him, so he had to give up the tent he was staying in, and ran to squeeze with Wei Muqing and Shen Dongxue.

"Father, what kind of chaos is this coming to cause!" Because he was the first batch of people to come to relieve the disaster, Wei Muqing only heard that the emperor was going to bring Wei Musui to pray for blessings, but he didn't know that the emperor would come in person Intend.Seeing the emperor in the ruined temple today, Wei Muqing almost couldn't hold back his anger on the spot.

"The most suspicious thing is Wei Musui, who would take the initiative to ask to accompany him. Could it be..."

"Impossible. Father has brought enough people to go out of the palace this time. If Wei Musui has any ideas, he may not be able to act."

"Then why is he so abnormal?"

However, the three of them fell into a deep sleep before they had time to come up with an answer. Due to the lack of manpower, the three of them also began to help sort herbs, distribute porridge and distribute food. After a busy day, they were very sleepy at night.

Fortunately the next morning, the emperor returned to the palace after finishing his meal, leaving Wei Musui and several ministers behind before leaving, and asked them to come and help.What was even more surprising was that Wei Musui was not dissatisfied at all, but complied obediently.

Just when the three of them couldn't get an answer for a long time, news came from Beijing that the emperor was ill, he seemed to be infected with the plague during the disaster relief, and now he urgently called King Sui back to Beijing to guard the court.

After receiving the order, Wei Musui hurried back with a few imperial doctors.

"If it's about guarding the court, it's not the time to call Wei Musui back! The crown prince is still on the front line to help the disaster!" The imperial doctor who was not taken back couldn't help complaining when he was lazy.

Wei Muqing heard it, and remembered it in his heart. At night, he went back to the tent and said to Wei Mucheng: "You said that the father only stayed here for a day, and he was still in the tent for most of the time. How can you say that if you contract the plague, you will be infected with the plague?"

"Could it be that Prince Sui planned it all by himself?" Shen Dongxue agreed.

Wei Mucheng pondered, but didn't speak.

"Brother Huang also heard what the little imperial doctor said? One thing is abnormal and it may be a coincidence, but what if everything is abnormal? And it's all related to Wei Musui." Seeing that he didn't move, Wei Mu Qing was a little anxious.

Shen Dongxue patted Wei Muqing's hand to comfort her, and said to Wei Mucheng: "I think the princess's words are reasonable, and I hope the emperor will take them seriously."

Although Wei Mucheng always knew that Wei Musui had the intention of being disobedient, he never dared to think that Wei Musui would be so mad that he would directly attack his own father, the emperor, and asked in a hoarse voice: "If it was really planned by him, what would happen now? What should we do?"

"Brother Huang immediately took Imperial Doctor She back to confirm whether the father is really sick, but until now there is no letter from the eyeliner in Beijing, I am afraid that he is really sick. Then Brother Huang asked 'Personal Attendant' Soup and medicine', if it is approved, I will guard my father and emperor every step of the way; if the request is rejected, the emperor brother must pay attention... If the eyeliner can't deliver the news, if it is not safe, I am afraid that something bad will happen."

"I see."

"Get in touch before going to Beijing..." Wei Muqing only spoke half of what he said, but everyone understood it.

Wei Mucheng nodded, "Then I'll go back to Beijing first, you two should be more careful."

Since Wei Mucheng left, the two lost news of the capital again. Fortunately, the epidemic was finally brought under control, but the recovery rate of those who got sick was still terribly low.

Just when the imperial doctors were at a loss and were about to give up, Wei Mucheng sent a letter suddenly.After reading the lengthy letter, Wei Muqing only said that the Imperial Physician in Beijing found that a medicine was very effective for each other's plague, and the emperor recovered after taking the medicine.

When the imperial doctors heard the news, they almost wept with joy, but they soon discovered that there was not much stock of this medicine in the capital, and there was not much left after treating the emperor.And the origin of this medicine is mainly in Lingzhou.

"Lingzhou? I heard that the son-in-law is from Lingzhou and came from a merchant family. I don't know if the son-in-law has a familiar herb dealer who can provide this medicinal material?" A little imperial doctor was pushed out to ask the truth on behalf of everyone.

Shen Dongxue froze for a moment when he heard that, the herb dealer?She doesn't know it.But Wei Muqing reminded from the side: "The Lin family!"

After remembering the existence of the Lin family, Shen Dongxue immediately wrote a letter to Xu He, explaining the cause and effect clearly, and asked the messenger to rush to Lingzhou with the letter and token.

However, on the second day after delivering the letter, Shen Dongxue fell ill.

Imperial physician She was not around, so Wei Muqing had no choice but to find another junior imperial physician who was his own.

The little imperial doctor looked at it and said panickedly: "The pulse of the son-in-law is really strange, just looking at the symptoms, it seems that he has contracted this plague!"

When Wei Muqing heard this, he hurriedly sent someone back to the capital to invite Imperial Physician She, and rushed over with the few medicinal materials left in the capital.

After three or five doses of medicine, Shen Dongxue's illness not only did not improve, but became more serious.Although the symptoms of this plague include coma, it is not like Shen Dongxue who has not been awake for a long time. No matter how Wei Muqing called her from the side, there was no response.

Ignoring the fact that the medicinal materials hadn't arrived yet, Wei Muqing left behind the imperial doctors and a group of ministers, and rushed back to Beijing with Shen Dongxue.

Over there, Wei Mucheng heard that Shen Dongxue had fallen ill and that the medicine was ineffective, so he personally brought the imperial doctors who treated the emperor to the consort's mansion.

After Xu He received the letter, he immediately contacted the Lin family.When the Lin family heard that there was a plague in Beijing, they hurriedly prepared the medicinal materials. Afraid that there would not be enough, they went to colleagues to raise some.

When Shen Qiuyue heard that there was a plague in Beijing, he felt uneasy, fearing that the elders of the Shen family would be worried, so he just said that he missed his younger sister, "I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and I don't know how my younger sister is doing in the capital. When I came to Beijing to do business, I thought about asking my son to go with me."

The elders of the Shen family did not suspect him, "When you see Dong Xue, tell her to take care of herself and the princess, and don't worry too much about the family. By the way, remember to bring her some special products, she likes Liu Ji's dim sum."

Shen Qiuyue responded one by one, and then entered the capital with the team escorting the medicinal materials.

The imperial doctors were all at a loss for Shen Dongxue's symptoms that resembled a plague but were not quite a plague. After some discussion, they still didn't know why the herb that should be very effective had no effect on her.

Wei Muqing heard the imperial doctors say "I can't do anything" and couldn't restrain the anger in my heart, "I can't do anything! I just know that I can't do anything! The imperial court raised you so that you can tell the palace that you can't do anything"? You alone? Damn, isn't it great when you dispense medicine to the father?"

From the doctor's point of view, Shen Dongxue was basically hopeless. Seeing that Wei Muqing was burning with anxiety, he tried to persuade him if he had the courage: "I hope the princess will mourn."

Hearing this, Wei Muqing became even more angry. He dropped the cup on the table, without the slightest demeanor, and said with a trembling voice like weeping: "My condolences? Don't you talk nonsense! The son-in-law is just a dyer. If you are sick, it’s fine if you don’t treat her, I will go to another doctor, why do you still curse her to death? What about your ‘doctor’s benevolence’? Have you fed it all to the dog’s stomach?”

Wei Mucheng, who heard Wei Muqing's anger from the outside, walked in, and saw a room full of imperial doctors with their sweaty heads bowed, while Wei Muqing's face was white and red-eyed, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Prince sister, don't be impatient, son-in-law!" Good luck, everything will be fine."

Hearing the phrase "Auspicious person and heavenly appearance", Wei Muqing seemed to suddenly think of something, so he asked Yunmeng to prepare a carriage, and hurried out of the mansion, leaving the imperial doctors and Wei Mucheng in a daze.

Shen Qiuyue followed the escort team, speeding up all the way, and arrived in the suburbs of Beijing within a few days.After helping the young master of the Lin family to distribute the medicinal materials, Shen Qiuyue continued to decoct and feed the medicine with the imperial doctor. Soon, most of the people infected with the plague recovered, but a few did not survive because of their poor conditions.

After the imperial court heard about it, they sent new officials to take charge of the resettlement of the villagers after the disaster. The ministers and imperial doctors who had been providing disaster relief and medical treatment were finally recalled back to Beijing, and Shen Qiuyue went into the city together.

The location of the son-in-law's mansion is very easy to find. After asking a few people, Shen Qiuyue stood in front of the son-in-law's mansion, but wondered if he had gone the wrong way.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Shen Qiuyue heard the endless sound of chanting from the mansion.

Seeing his face, the concierge asked: "Are you here to pray for the son-in-law? Or can he heal the son-in-law?"

"What did you say? The son-in-law is sick?"

"Didn't Mr. come here after reading the reward notice?"

"No, at the Shen family in Lower Lingzhou, Shen Qiuyue came to visit my younger brother. I don't know what happened to my younger brother now?"

When the concierge heard this, he hurriedly invited people in, "I don't dare to talk nonsense about the son-in-law, so you should go and ask the princess."

Shen Qiuyue was led to the backyard, and saw that one of the yards was full of monks and priests, and many people dressed as quacks entered the house confidently, and ran out with gray faces.

Yunze had met Shen Qiuyue before, and when he saw him coming, he immediately notified Wei Muqing.

Wei Muqing was dressed in plain clothes, with all his hair loose, and walked out of the house with a tired face, "Why did my brother go to Beijing suddenly, and I don't want to send a letter to my palace and my son-in-law."

"My...brother, what happened to her?"

"She's just sick, she will get better." Wei Muqing's mood was a little unstable, "I don't believe it, Yaojing is so big, there is no one who can cure the son-in-law!"

Seeing that Wei Muqing was a little excited again, Yun Ze stepped forward and said, "Young Master Shen, come with your servants. Ever since your son-in-law got sick, the princess has become like this, with a bad temper and unstable mood."

Shen Qiuyue followed Yun Ze to the guest room, and asked, "What's wrong with the son-in-law?"

"The imperial doctor said that he was infected with the plague, and the medicine that can be used to cure the plague has no effect on the son-in-law; and after so many days of personal care, the princess is fine."

"That is to say, the son-in-law is in danger of life now? But no one can save her yet?"

Yunze nodded: "Princess said, no matter what, she will find someone to heal the son-in-law's illness."

After listening to Yunze's words, Shen Qiuyue was very conflicted. While complaining that it was Wei Muqing who dragged Shen Dongxue down, at the same time, he felt that the princess she saw today behaved very strangely—as if Shen Dongxue was her real son-in-law.
