Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 1011 A Hard Battle

The carriage galloped all the way, and finally arrived at the port of Spring City at dusk.

Xiao Baorui hurriedly hugged Tang Huanxi, who was still feverish, and went to a nearby medical center.

At that time, the hospital was overcrowded.

"I don't know what's going on! The dam broke again, and a lot of bones rushed out!"

"That's right, if it wasn't for the new garrison master who insisted on tearing down the embankment and rebuilding it, I'm afraid those dead souls would have difficulty redressing their grievances!"

"Isn't it? I heard that in Lihua Village near the dam, many people died during this period!"

"Pear Flower Village is notoriously poor. Those villagers usually carry water near the dam to drink!"

"Drinking the water soaked in so many corpses, can you get rid of the plague?"

"plague?"

The crowd exploded immediately.

"No way? Is it really a plague?"

"It's really a plague!"

"I've heard from the doctor at the front clinic that the symptoms of the infected villagers in Lihua Village are exactly the same as those of the plague."

At that time, Tang Huanxi, who was held in Xiao Baorui's arms, slowly opened her eyes.

They all listened to what those people said just now.

"Miss?"

"Xiao Baorui, I'm fine." Tang Huanxi looked at him and said softly, "Let's go to the prefect's mansion first."

"it is good."

Prefect of Spring City, Zhao Zhuo.

He just took office three months ago, and the prefect has already been sentenced to be executed for favoritism, fraud, and embezzlement of public funds.

As for Zhao Zhuo, he is honest and upright, with a breeze in his sleeves.

Hearing that the emperor and empress had come to Chuncheng, Zhao Zhuo immediately went out to greet them in person.

"Lord Zhao, excuse me!" Xiao Baorui understood his tired look, "How long has it been since Master Zhao had a good rest?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know how serious the consequences of the collapse of the dam in the Chuncheng area are! There are 32 households in Lihua Village who have been living on the water from a nearby clear stream for many years. That clear stream is spring water. A tributary of the river embankment."

"This time when the dam collapsed, a total of 25 people in Lihua Village had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Weichen worried that this symptom was a plague."

"plague?"

"That's right," Zhao Zhuo nodded immediately, "The dam was washed away by the rain a while ago, exposing a lot of bones. I suspect that when the dam was built, the supervisors cut corners and even killed their lives. The bodies of those condemned prisoners are a human wall, casting this weak dam."

"It's simply insane!" After hearing the whole incident, Xiao Baorui was suddenly furious!

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Zhao Zhuo hurriedly knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "The most urgent thing is to find a famous doctor and good medicine to rescue these people infected with the plague!"

"I understand."

Xiao Baorui immediately wrote a letter, and Fei Ge passed the letter back to Kyoto.

Order Taitai Hospital to send a batch of famous doctors and medicines as soon as possible.

In addition, the Chunshui River dam case must be thoroughly investigated!
As night fell quietly, Tang Huanxi looked at Xiao Baorui who was still frowning, and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, when Yijin receives your letter, he will definitely send the imperial physician here quickly."

"I know." Xiao Baorui nodded weakly, "I'm just afraid, it's too late."

The fact that the villagers of Lihua Village were infected with the plague was like a gust of wind, sweeping across the entire land of Spring City in an instant.

Those who have good deeds even proposed to burn Lihua Village to avoid future troubles.

"There are 32 households in Lihua Village, and there are nearly 80 people from each family. If Lihua Village is really set on fire, how innocent are these people?" Xiao Baorui rubbed his temples with his hands The depths are full of worries, "Lady, I suddenly feel that I am useless."

The villagers in Lihua Village are all innocent civilians.

But the speed at which the plague spread was astonishingly fast.

So Xiao Baorui is really one head and two big.

Tang Huanxi walked around his arms, stretched out her hands, and gently rubbed his temples.

"First find a way to isolate those who have symptoms so that they can be taken care of." Tang Huanxi thought about it seriously, and finally said softly, "Although the word plague sounds scary, I believe there are more solutions than difficulties. The top priority now is to isolate all those who have symptoms so that the epidemic cannot continue to spread. In addition, it is necessary to send people to quickly salvage the corpses near the embankment, find a wasteland, and cremate all the bones. Then find a way to filter the water quality of the Chunjiang River."

"Xiao Baorui, the next battle will be difficult." Tang Huanxi speeded up his hands, and said warmly, "The next battle will be very long, and we need to be united and united to overcome this difficulty. "

"En." After listening to Tang Huanxi's words, Xiao Baorui's mood eased a lot.

"If we stay in the capital all the time, I'm afraid we will never be able to truly understand the sufferings of the people." After a moment of silence, Xiao Baorui sighed heavily, "By the way, my lady, the Queen Mother of Xiliang hanged herself to death."

"I know." Tang Huanxi nodded lightly, "She was in my dream before."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Baorui frowned suddenly, his eyes filled with puzzlement.

Tang Huanxi looked at him, smiled slightly, and then softly explained the relationship between her and the Queen Mother of Xiliang.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Baorui grabbed her hand, his eyes were full of nervousness, "My lady, why didn't you tell me? Ever since you gave birth to Yiming, has your body deteriorated to such an extent?"

"I didn't think it would be a problem at first, not to mention that you are busy with government affairs, so I can't bother you. It's hard for you to ascend to the throne of God. Since you ascended the throne, the government has not been peaceful, internal and external troubles, turmoil continues..."

"Miss, do you think the government is more important than you in my heart?" Xiao Baorui looked at her, the circles of his eyes had already started to turn red.

"I know that you treat me dearly, but I don't want to become a demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country."

"So you're going to tell me these things when you're about to leave?"

"I……"

Meeting his already flushed eyes, Tang Huanxi also felt very uncomfortable.

She knew it was because she was too selfish.

"I was wrong, don't be angry, okay?" Tang Huanxi gently tugged on his sleeve, pleading cautiously.

"Miss," Xiao Baorui sighed deeply, and then hugged her forcefully into his arms, "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself. Ever since Yiming was born, your body has been worse than ever. One day, I often fell asleep. I didn't notice these abnormalities earlier. In the end, it was my fault after all, and I was not a competent husband."

"Don't say that."

"Is not it?"

"Xiao Baorui, there's nothing wrong with not having the fairy soul!" Tang Huanxi looked at him and smiled coquettishly, "When you and I are both gray-haired, it's not a problem to watch the clouds and clouds in the sky together. Luckily?"
