Chapter 221 Epidemic
Jiang Sujin: "The little maid has a pure mind and doesn't hide anything. This is also because our prince is charming, so it's normal for someone to be thinking about him."
When Shen Yanfeng heard this, he straightened his back immediately: "What are you talking about, Princess? Can someone else easily covet me?"
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but glance at him when she heard this: "Someone is after His Majesty, which proves that His Majesty's luck with romance has arrived, which is a good thing."
Shen Yanfeng: "I don't want such a good thing. Don't say such nonsense in front of me."
When Caiyue heard what Shen Yanfeng said, she couldn't help but envy him and said, "Your Majesty is still good at talking. If Lin Feng said that, I wouldn't be angry a long time ago."
Shen Yanfeng would not have explained these things before, mainly because when Jiang Sujin got angry, she would really ignore him for several days.
He couldn't stand her cold violence the most. For the sake of harmony between husband and wife, he naturally had to think of ways to deal with it, for fear that Jiang Sujin would feel that his attitude was not right and get angry with him again.
Jiang Sujin: "The prince has matured and knows how to avoid trouble."
Shen Yanfeng: "Princess, you are wronging me. You are the only one in my heart and eyes."
Jiang Sujin: "Okay, stop talking and eat!"
Shen Yanfeng: "Yes, yes, the soup will be cold soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong'er and several other maids came in again with trays.
As soon as Rong'er came in, she found the right position, took two quick steps, and came to Shen Yanfeng's side.
She raised her index finger and placed the plate of food in front of Shen Yanfeng.
Just as she put the dish down, her ears suddenly turned red because she felt that her arm was very close to the prince.
Just as Rong'er was about to turn around and leave, Shen Yanfeng suddenly said in a cold voice: "This king doesn't like people to get close to him. When you serve the dishes in the future, you must stay away from me."
He suddenly pointed at Rong'er and said, "This maid has no sense. Drag her out and give her twenty lashes of the board."
Hearing this, Rong Er was so frightened that she fell to her knees: "Please spare my life, Your Majesty. This is the first time I have done this job. I really don't understand Your Majesty's rules. Please forgive me."
Shen Yanfeng: "You dared to come to me for the first time, which shows that you are not a quiet person. I hate people with scheming minds."
"Someone, drag me down!"
Rong'er: "Please spare my life, my lord, please save me, my lord~"
Just as she was shouting, a group of guards came in and dragged her out.
Jiang Sujin raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Shen Yanfeng would be so helpful.
Now, it is estimated that the maid’s injuries will not heal for half a month.
Caiyue felt extremely happy when she heard Rong'er's screams. This vixen deserved this kind of punishment. Let's see how she can seduce others this time.
Rong'er was beaten so badly that her skin was torn and she had to ask the nanny for leave and lie on the bed alone to recuperate.
She didn't expect the prince to have such a bad temper. If she had known, she would not have been so bold.
It seems that this piece of meat is not easy to hold, it is not as easy to deal with as that lump of wood!
Just as Jiang Sujin expected, many people in Donggang have been infected with the epidemic recently. The disease was just a cold and fever at first, but after a few days, they started to cough violently.
Basically, after coughing for a few days, he began to have difficulty breathing, and finally he suddenly died of exhaustion.
Some strong people could survive, but some old, weak, and sick people would die immediately if they were infected with the epidemic.
As the number of deaths increased, people in Donggang began to panic.
As the corpses piled up, the prefectural government began to panic.
The prefect was naturally afraid of death, but what he feared most was losing his official position.
Seeing that the medicinal materials in Donggang were in short supply and the many corpses infected with the virus were piled up like mountains.
So he took a boat to Yazhou Island, hoping that King Yong'an could provide some support to Donggang.
Since the prefect came to the island personally, Shen Yanfeng naturally had to meet him in person.
Jiang Sujin had gone out to inspect. When she returned to the main hall, she heard the servants tell her that the prefect of Donggang had come to visit.
Jiang Sujin drank a cup of tea, then got up and went to the front hall of the main hall.
"Your Highness, you don't know that Donggang is like hell right now. The mass graves are filled with corpses, and almost every household is running a fever, causing panic among the people."
"More importantly, Donggang is short of herbal medicines, especially fever-reducing herbs. They have all been snapped up by the people, and even here they are not enough. The people are complaining bitterly, and I really have no idea what to do."
When Jiang Sujin heard this, her mind suddenly felt a little unclear.
She stopped immediately and said to Caiyue, "Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief."
Caiyue: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Jiang Sujin quickly took out her handkerchief, folded it in half, and covered her mouth and nose.
Caiyue didn't understand why, but she still followed Jiang Sujin's example and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
As soon as Jiang Sujin entered the front hall, the prefect quickly stood up and prepared to salute the princess.
Jiang Sujin said quickly: "Sir, please cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief."
The prefect was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he suddenly said with an unnatural expression: "But I am not infected with the disease."
Jiang Sujin: "This kind of disease has an incubation period, did you know that?"
Upon hearing this, the prefect couldn't help but feel his legs go limp and he collapsed to the ground.
When he thought about the severity of the disease, he was so scared that his heart started beating faster.
Jiang Sujin: "Your Majesty, quickly cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief."
Shen Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.
Jiang Sujin: "Sir, someone will deliver the herbs to Donggang soon, so you should hurry back now!"
"Remember, gather all those with fever in one place."
“People who have come into contact with people who have a fever should also be gathered in one place.”
"Now that there is no cure for this disease, we must ensure absolute isolation. Only in this way can we control the development of the virus."
The prefect: "But...it is very likely that everyone will not cooperate."
Jiang Sujin: "If they don't cooperate, then let them lock the door and isolate themselves in their own homes."
"We distribute herbal medicine and relief food door to door. As long as we can survive this period, the virus will disappear."
Jiang Sujin: "Of course there is another way, which is to find a prescription to overcome the epidemic. This can also overcome the epidemic, but this takes time. Before that, you can only control the epidemic in this way."
The prefect said: "But... the distribution of disaster relief grain requires the allocation of disaster relief silver by the imperial court, otherwise..."
Jiang Sujin: "Yazhou has excess food, which can be sent to Donggang first. The prefect only needs to send people to deliver the food to every household."
The prefect said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Sujin: "Send the prefect aboard."
"It's the princess!"
After a while, more than a dozen guards rushed in.
Jiang Sujin: "You must cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief. After sending the prefect, soak the handkerchief in white wine to disinfect it, then replace it with a new handkerchief. Remember to wash your hands with white wine. After returning, go directly to the Leiming Hall in the east to be isolated for fifteen days. If you don't have a fever, you can return to the main hall to perform your duties."
"I obey my orders!"
Then, everyone took up their handkerchiefs to cover their faces, and then carried the prefect out together.
After Shen Yanfeng watched the prefect leave, he wanted to take off his handkerchief, but was stopped by Jiang Sujin.
"Stop. From now on, everyone must wear a handkerchief, especially you. You must be isolated."
Shen Yanfeng: "I am not close to him, so I don't think so..."
Jiang Sujin: "Don't say should. This epidemic is extremely dangerous. We should be prepared for the worst. We must take precautions before it happens."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng's heart suddenly became heavy: "Su Su..."
Jiang Sujin: "Your Highness, don't be afraid. We are just taking precautions. If anything really happens, I will not abandon you."
She turned around and walked out of the front hall: "Pass the order down, all those who have had contact with the prefect must be quarantined."
"As a result, anyone who has come into contact with the prefect will be quarantined."
"The entire palace will now be disinfected with raw lime. Everyone should wash their hands with white wine, and wipe all the displayed items with wine."
"It's the princess!"
Shen Yanfeng was isolated by Jiang Sujin in the inner room of the front hall. Even the maid could only bring clean clothes and food to Shen Yanfeng through the window.
Except for Shen Yanfeng, all people who had contact with the prefect were quarantined.
Everyone in the palace was ordered to cover their mouths and noses. Occasionally, one or two disobedient people would be severely punished after being reported by others.
In order to take precautionary measures, Jiang Sujin asked the wet nurse to take the two little boys and move to a house by the sea.
There are few people there, so even if the virus does spread, it would be difficult for it to spread to their area.
When Rong'er heard that the prince was locked up, she couldn't help but start to curse the princess for being heartless in her heart.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that her chance had come.
Many maids were afraid of being infected, so they did not dare to get close to the prince.
Rong'er was not afraid. She didn't believe that she could be infected with the virus just by staying in a hall for a while.
As the saying goes, risky moves are the most important tactic in war. If you want to seize the opportunity, you have to be willing to take risks.
So, when the princess was extremely busy, she quietly switched jobs with the maid in the front hall of the main palace, so that she could see the prince every day.
After the prefect returned, he asked all his family members to wear masks.
Then, he followed the princess's advice and ordered the officers to use loudspeakers to order all the people to stay at home in quarantine.
However, within two days of his return, he began to have a fever. He didn't know whether he had contracted the virus again after returning to Donggang, or whether the virus had been dormant for several days as the princess said.
