Hard to be a good wife

The snow on the road was very deep, and the team walked very slowly. Tang Yue sat in the warm carriage and looked at the outside world through the curtains. He felt that the peace at this moment was an illusion, just like the calm before the storm.

"Let's go to Hui'an Hall first." Tang Yue planned to bring a large amount of medicinal materials in case of emergencies. It would be even better if Mr. Chen and the others were willing to go.

Since the snowfall, Hui'an Church's business has ushered in a peak period. The two best-selling medicines are cold medicine and chilblain medicine, and expensive people can't afford them.

It is said that the Duke of Lu's mansion once sent someone to threaten to buy all the chilblain medicine in Hui'an Hall at a very high price, but Tang Yue directly rejected it, saying that Tang Yue was not a patriotic person in disguise.

Tang Yue didn't change his face when he heard that. Before the cold winter, Prince Zhao bought a large amount of ointment from him and sent it to the front line. He didn't even know about this news.

Two carts of medicinal materials were loaded, Chen and Lao San went to two of them, and the other one stayed in the store to take care of them. In case the medicinal materials were not enough at that time, it would be good for someone in charge to open the warehouse to fetch the medicines.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, everyone found that the gate was closed tightly. Tang Yue went to call the gate himself. It took a lot of effort to get the guard to agree to open the gate, but after leaving the city, they didn't know which direction to go.

Shan came on a horse, "Mr. Lord, it's better for the old slave to take a few people to explore the road separately. Your Highness has a large group of people, so it's easy to find.

"Alright, be careful, if you don't see it within an hour, turn back."

"Here."

Tang Yue asked the team to rest on the side of the road, and the people who were guarding here looked at them with admiration and jealousy.

Looking at the luggage and clothes these people carried with them, it seems that they were people living nearby. As soon as they heard that there was a plague outside the city, they immediately wanted to live in the city with their families.

It's a pity that now Yecheng has banned the people from entering the city in order to prevent the disease from being transferred to the city.

Tang Yue was ready to spend the night outside. He brought all the pots and pans. Seeing that the people around him were shivering from the cold, he ordered someone to boil a large pot of hot water for them.

An old man reminded Tang Yue kindly after drinking hot water, "Your Majesty, you should go to the city. It's not a good time to go out of the city at this time."

Tang Yue shook his head, "The situation is unknown, you don't have to worry too much, I don't know which village you live in?"

The old man mentioned a place name, Tang Yue had never heard of it, but someone nearby knew it and pointed him in the direction, Tang Yue tentatively asked: "When did the old man wait here? Can you see that the team of His Royal Highness has left the city?"

"I came here this morning. The gates of the city were closed. I only saw Mr. Lang and others leaving the city. But yesterday I heard that a high official went to Huanghua Village. The news of the epidemic came from Huanghua Village."

Tang Yue asked about the distance and direction of Huanghua Village, and decided to wait for Shan and the others to come back before setting off.

Seeing Tang Yue's noble status and his kind face, the old man begged, "I wonder if my lord can let the city guard open the gate and let me enter the city. We all went to the city to join our relatives."

Tang Yue shook his head helplessly, "The old man praises me too much, I don't have the right." Even if he could, he wouldn't do it, he knew the horror of the plague, as long as one of these people got sick, he would go to the city The harm it would cause is unimaginable.

Half an hour later, people came back one after another, and they also identified the direction. Tang Yue boarded the carriage and set off. , less going out, less contact with others, boil a pot of vinegar at home every day, drink some decoction to prevent wind and cold, and keep warm."

The plague does not mean that you will be infected if you are infected. Taking preventive measures and reducing contact with the source of infection can greatly reduce the probability of illness.

The team continued to move forward, and after an hour, they saw a gray military camp standing outside the village of Huanghua Village.

"Who?" The guards spotted them immediately.

"The princess is here, hurry up and report!"

Tang Yue stood in front of the carriage and looked at the village not far away. There were dozens of households here and there. At this time, it was dinner time, but there was no smoke, like a deserted village.

When Prince Zhaoyi heard the news, he immediately put down what he was doing and ran out, seeing Tang Yue frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Tang Yue walked up to him and gave him a hug. After only two days of seeing each other, the young man lost weight and his face was tired.

"How is the situation? I heard that there is an epidemic. I brought people and medicine, hoping to help."

The crown prince Zhao Wenyan hugged her tightly, and the exhaustion all over his body disappeared in an instant. I knew that after marrying him, I would have less worries about the future.

"Come in first." Prince Zhao dragged him to the tent, the thin tarpaulin couldn't stop the cold wind at all, and there was no charcoal fire in the tent.

Prince Zhao glanced at Ke, who immediately ran out, and not long after, he led someone to bring hot food and two pots of charcoal.

"Talk while eating.: Prince Zhao pushed Tang Yue to the table, gave him cloth and urged him to eat.

Tang Yue didn't even eat lunch, and he felt relieved after rushing all the way here, so he didn't ask any more questions, and had a meal with Prince Zhao.

After the meal, Prince Zhao called Wu Tai doctor to come, the doctor must know the specific condition better than him.

"Is there really a disease?" Tang Yue asked.

Doctor Wu frowned, and nodded helplessly, "It's the plague, but there are many kinds of plague. I thought it was the plague, but after seeing the patients, I don't think so."

Tang Yue's face became tense when he heard about the plague, "What are the symptoms of the patient?"

"The patient had fatigue, headache, discomfort, anorexia, chills, and low fever at first, and then his body temperature rose rapidly, and he began to have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Taking antidiarrheal drugs had no effect."

"Has anyone died?"

"For one, the deceased's belly was swollen and his face was flushed. The rest showed no symptoms for the time being. This kind of disease has also appeared in previous years, and this old man is really helpless."

"Malaria?" Tang Yue heard that the symptoms were very similar to malaria, but the high incidence of malaria is in summer and autumn, but it is possible in the south all year round, but it's hard to understand that it happened on this heavy snow day.

"Malaria? What kind of disease is this?" It was the first time Physician Wu heard about this disease, and excitedly held Tang Yue's hand, "Does the Crown Princess have a cure?"

"It's hard to say. I'll make a conclusion after seeing the patient."

In modern times, severe malaria like this is rare in China. When he came back from Africa, he kept talking about the pity of the children there, and his thin body was distorted and bulging, which made people feel sad. I think he will encounter this disease in ancient times.

"Go now?" Imperial Physician Wu was a little anxious, but still cautiously glanced at Prince Zhao, it was the one who made the decision, not him.

Tang Yue also looked at Prince Zhao, and asked, "Where are the patients placed now? Are they separated from the healthy people?"

Prince Zhao nodded: "Gu will free up a few houses at the head of the village to house the patients, and the rest of the people are not allowed to go out in their own homes."

In fact, everyone present knew that if Tang Yue hadn't come today, there would only be two fates for those patients tomorrow, either dying of illness or being burned to death.

In ancient times, this was the only way to deal with the source of disease infection.

Tang Yue changed into a suit of clothes, put on a mask and gloves, turned around, saw that Doctor Wu was also armed, and raised his eyebrows.

Physician Wu chuckled: "I saw Xiao Lang always dressed like this before, so this old man learned it."

"This is very good. In the future, everyone who enters the village, whether they are doctors or soldiers, must wear masks and gloves to prevent skin contact with patients."

Prince Zhao also wanted to go in, but was stopped by Tang Yue, he joked with a smile: "Your Highness is not a doctor, what's the use of going?"

"Go with you alone."

Tang Yue leaned in front of him and said in a low voice, "You'd better go back and sleep now, and wait for me to come back."

His voice is deep and mellow, and his eyes are gentle, making people melt into it involuntarily.

Although Prince Zhao still wanted to insist on following, Tang Yue was very determined. According to his thinking, Prince Zhao should return to the city immediately and send other ministers instead of letting the future monarch face danger in person.

On the way into the village, Tang Yue asked Doctor Wu: "Did the king send His Highness to deal with this matter?"

Physician Wu paused for a moment, understood what he meant, shook his head and said, "Your Highness came here after hearing that many villagers' houses near here were collapsed by heavy snow, and the disaster was serious. After arriving, they discovered that there was a disease, and the news spread to the palace. , the old man brought people here."

Tang Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even he didn't know what he was afraid of.

In this world, what is far more terrifying than the epidemic is the unfathomable thoughts of the king. Prince Zhao is still just a prince after all.
