Chapter 691 Mud can’t hold up the wall
The old prince ran forward in disbelief, stopped the pair of officers and soldiers, and asked them to put the bodies down.
Seeing that it was the old prince, the officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey and put down the wooden boards they were carrying.
The old prince looked at the man, then the woman, and finally looked at the child lying in the woman's arms, and they all lost their breath.
"What's going on?" the old prince asked angrily.
Seeing this, the deputy commander of the Beijing suburbs came over and saluted the old prince first, and then explained: "They died of a sudden outbreak."
"In the afternoon, they were obviously fine, how could they get an epidemic!" The old prince didn't believe it.
Deputy Commander Chang explained: "The epidemic in Shannianying is very fierce and urgent. It can kill a person in one or two hours, and it cannot be saved."
The old prince examined the bodies of the three of them one by one. They all had gray faces, but there were no scars. It seemed that they had died of a sudden illness.
The old prince sighed heavily. He asked the family of three to come back, not expecting that they would have a sudden outbreak.
"They came back from outside this afternoon, and had a full meal?"
Vice Commander Chang replied: "I received the porridge and steamed buns."
The old prince wiped his face and at least had a full meal before his death, so he would not be a starving ghost.
"How to deal with this corpse?"
"The disease is contagious and the corpse will be incinerated."
The old prince waved his hand and asked the officers and soldiers to carry the body away. Although he felt uncomfortable, the epidemic could not be cured overnight.
He looked at the porridge shed and saw a few people running back from outside. These people were obviously hungry, so they picked up the steamed buns in the basket and started eating.
The rice porridge was served, and another person stuffed a steamed bun, urging them to eat inside.
It was sparse, and many people who escaped were back.
The old prince got on his horse again and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "How to prevent and treat this epidemic?"
"The Imperial Hospital has issued a prescription, the imperial court has prepared medicine, and if it is sick, take medicine." The deputy commander replied.
The old prince thought for a while and said, "It should be better to separate the sick and those who are not sick. After all, it is contagious... Hey, since it is contagious, your officers and soldiers have to deal with the body. Isn't anyone infected?"
Vice Commander Chang coughed dryly and said, "We...no one is infected."
The old prince looked at the officers and soldiers carrying the body away, and then looked at the guard outside, and no one was wearing a veil for protection.
Are there people who only recognize good thoughts in this epidemic?
After the old prince left, Vice Commander Chang wiped his sweat and ran towards the tent in the distance.
"The person is gone?"
"Go back to Your Highness, the old prince has left."
Deputy Commander Chang looked up, but saw the Fourth Prince Qin Shengrui leaning against the chair covered with a thick cashmere blanket. After hearing his words, he yawned.
"This old thing is really annoying."
"Your Highness, why don't you go back to your house to rest?"
"I also think that this matter cannot be unexpected."
"A lot of fugitives have already returned."
"Haha, this trick is really useful. These bastards came back after smelling the fragrance of the rice."
Deputy Commander Chang lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Those who escaped should have died, but they just stayed in the Shanmian Camp, these old, weak, women and children..."
Qin Shengrui narrowed his eyes, "They are all dead, and Shengjing will be clean."
After saying that, Qin Shengrui waved his hand, "Okay, keep going outside and guarding."
Deputy Commander Chang obeyed the order and did things. Although he did not agree with Qin Shengrui's approach, he did not dare to say anything. When he went out, he saw Jiang Yunying coming, and the maid behind her was carrying a food box.
After Deputy Commander Chang gave the salute, the concubine smiled gently at him, "Thank you for your hard work, Vice Commander Chang, this time you have made great efforts, Your Highness will definitely use you in the future."
"I am afraid to take credit for my duties."
"Your Highness is proud of your talents, and Deputy Commander Chang follows His Highness. Sooner or later, this deputy commander's character will be removed."
Vice Commander Chang suddenly thought of their commander, and suddenly became ill at this critical moment. Could it be that he refused to obey the Fourth Highness?
After Jiang Yunying finished speaking, the maid behind her took the food box in her hand and asked her to wait outside, and then entered the tent alone.
Seeing Qin Shengrui dozing off with his chin, he snored and snoring, a hint of disgust flashed in Jiang Yunying's eyes.
She walked forward and gently called Qin Shengrui. Seeing that he woke up, she immediately smiled.
"Your Highness is tired, his face is thin." Jiang Yunying said as she put the food box on the table and put the food inside out one by one. "I am worried that you will not be able to eat well, so I asked the kitchen to make a few dishes you like, and I specially delivered them to you."
Seeing Jiang Yunying’s gentle little, Qin Shengrui pulled her into her arms and couldn’t help but linger.
"Your Highness... Your Highness!" Jiang Yunying pushed Qin Shengrui hard. Seeing his face getting heavy, he quickly pretended to be shy again, and pulled his hand to his stomach, "The child missed his father too."
Qin Shengrui saw that Jiang Yunying's belly was already bulging and he shouldn't have done anything randomly, so he was a little disappointed. He pulled his hand back, pushed Jiang Yunying to the side, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Jiang Yunying was pushed by him, and her stomach almost hit the corner of the table. In a frightened state, she couldn't help but glared at Qin Shengrui. She saw him eating voraciously and not having any appetite at all, and she was even more disgusted.
"Supply me a bowl of soup." Qin Shengrui opened his mouth and the rice flew out.
Jiang Yunying suppressed her disgust and walked up to serve a bowl of soup, put it in front of Qin Shengrui, "Your Highness, be careful of hot."
"Um."
Jiang Yunying sat down aside and glanced out, "Your Highness, you must not be too hasty about Shannian Camp. A few or more people die a day. It is said that he died of an epidemic, and no one doubted it, but if dozens of people die at once, it will be over in a few days, and trouble will inevitably occur."
"You are just a woman, don't interrupt."
"Your Highness..."
"Okay, it's so long-winded!"
Jiang Yunying breathed a sigh of relief, and it made sense that the mud could not support the wall. Even if he forced him to support him, he would fall to the ground sooner or later.
This poisonous move, the person who used the move hid behind him and rushed forward. If something happened, he would naturally take the blame.
"Your Highness, even your own father and son, brother, sometimes you have to be careful, that one..."
Before Jiang Yunying finished speaking, a soldier came in to report: "Your Highness, the person below made a mistake and distributed a pot of toxic porridge to the people inside."
Qin Shengrui looked up at the officer and soldier, and cursed: "Bad!"
Jiang Yunying couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Can it be saved? Don't let them eat or find a doctor..."
Qin Shengrui slapped the chopsticks on the table, "Shut up!"
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be neglected..."
"roll!"
Jiang Yunying also wanted to persuade Qin Shengrui to be careful, but he saw that his face darkened and he could only shut his mouth and walked out.
