After taking the medicine, Master Zhou subsided.

When the fever subsides, the mind becomes better. He becomes much more awake. He struggles to say he wants to pay homage to the Queen.

After Yuan Qingling drank him and lie down, he told him about the epidemic situation and asked him to pay attention to it.

Master Zhou was also surprised when he heard this, "When the epidemic situation is in progress, Weichen will send people to the Medical Department every day to ask the medical department officials to report it. The situation they report every day has always been relatively normal. Although the epidemic situation occurs, it is not as serious as in previous years. The medicinal materials are sufficient. How could it suddenly become serious?"

"Just because it is every year and has not become popular on a large scale, it has not been paid attention to in time."

Yuan Qing Lingdao.

"Weichen immediately called Lord Li from the Medical Department to ask about the situation."

Master Zhou stood up.

"I've already visited him yesterday and asked him to count the number of patients and deaths, but he didn't know where to find us. You should send someone to let them go directly to the government office to report the situation."

"Yes, my servant follows the order!"

The prefect Zhou sent someone out immediately.

The man in blue is in charge of the Houya. In less than half an hour, the number of people suffering from illness in the government office was counted.

Eighteen people had symptoms of epidemics in the government office, two of whom were in serious condition and were already in bed and resting at home.

The prefect Zhou did not know that so many people in the government office were sick. He was shocked when he heard the situation reported by the manager.

Lord Li of the Medical Department has been traveling around for a day and night, but he didn't dare to rest. The Lord of the Bureau came in person and had to give an explanation.

Moreover, he always believed that the epidemic was not serious, just like in previous years.

But when he brought the medical department to various towns and clinics to learn about the situation, he found that the cold at this time was much worse than what he did.

At first, he was trying to explain to the bureau, but after he found out that the condition was serious, he also became anxious.

But it is impossible to count the number of people in such a short time, so we can only roughly understand the situation.

When he returned to the Medical Bureau, he found that the people from the government office were waiting, saying that the prefect asked him to come over immediately and report the situation.

Lord Li thought that he should inform the magistrate of the arrival of the government office to Wugui Mansion, so he immediately rode his horse to the government office.

When I arrived at the Houya, I didn't expect that the Lord of the Bureau was already here, and the granddaughter of the Lord of the Bureau even sat on the chair in the room, while the Lord of the Palace stood up and sat in the guest seat next to me.

He was slightly stunned and went to greet Grandma Yuan first, and then went up to pay homage to the prefect.

Yuan Qingling said: "Don't be too polite, tell me the situation!"

Lord Li ignored her and just watched Master Zhou report, "After the instructions of Master Zhou, the officials have traveled all towns and several major clinics from yesterday to now. They found that this year's epidemic is the case..." Master Zhou saw that his attitude was wrong, he immediately raised his face and interrupted him, "It's the Queen's questioning you, you report to the Queen's Empress!"

Lord Li was stunned, "Empress?"

He subconsciously glanced at Yuan Qingling, his head thuded, and his face turned pale.

In a shock, he knelt down with a thud and his lips trembled, "I don't know that it was the Empress who arrived and offended the Empress. I deserve to die. Please punish me!"

Yuan Qingling said: "Get up and talk, what's the situation now?

Tell me what you have investigated.”

Lord Li trembled and said, "When I go back to the emperor's words, I found out that the epidemic this time is indeed much worse than in previous years. There are people in each town who died of illness. Among them, Huandong Town has the largest number of deaths. Twelve people have died of colds. As for the number of patients, I am afraid and have not yet counted it."

He said, wiping the sweat on his forehead. The number of people has not been counted yet, so the Queen must be furious.

However, after hearing this, Yuan Qingling said, "If the number of patients is not counted, continue to count. Just be taken seriously. The emperor and Leng Shougong should arrive at Wugui Mansion today. You must speed up the count of the number of people and formulate anti-epidemic plans."
