But Lin Mengya showed a thoughtful smile, and instead said to Fanglan
"You should have thought of something. Now, there are only three of us here. Why don't you come and listen, and let me, a little girl who is inexperienced in the world, gain some insights."
Although that was what she said, Fanglan, who was very thoughtful, understood more or less. Perhaps this was a problem that the princess came to test her.
At that moment, I calmed down, sorted out all the clues in my mind, and started talking.
"I have been in the palace since I was a child. Although I have not served my masters in the palace, I have heard some things. Five years ago, a plague broke out in the palace. I have seen with my own eyes that those infected
This is how the belongings of the little eunuch and the little palace maids who were infected with the plague were disposed of."
Lin Mengya nodded, feeling more fond of Fanglan in her heart.
She is calm, bold and careful, and speaks politely and politely. Perhaps there are more shining points that she has not discovered.
But one thing is for sure, this girl will never be a thing in the pool from now on.
When Fang Lan saw Lin Mengya's half-smiling expression, she knew that she had almost guessed it. Her heart trembled, and an anxious look appeared between her eyebrows.
"If this is really the case, then - wouldn't the entire palace be in danger?"
The last plague was still fresh in her mind.
At that time, she was just a little palace maid in training. She saw that many of the little sisters who entered the palace with her fell ill for no reason. In the end, they were all carried out of the small courtyard where they lived and never came back.
Her heart felt a twinge of pain.
"You are right. Pearl is indeed infected with the plague. Moreover, it is a highly contagious plague. If it hadn't been for the past few days, I had made some mistakes and told you not to get close to her. I'm afraid that now, you
He has already been infected with the plague."
In fact, things were far from as bad as Lin Mengya said.
The Shennong system can now not only detect animal and plant toxins, but also infectious bacteria that are harmful to the body.
This plague is similar to diphtheria, but has a longer incubation period.
In modern times, there may have been a cure. In fact, the vaccinations she had received since childhood had already brought antibodies to her immune system.
But in ancient times, this kind of plague could only represent death.
"What? Master, should we tell others?"
In Lin Mengya's eyes, plague may be just a word recorded in textbooks. However, Bai Su and Fang Lan have both experienced it personally. >
In modern times, due to the popularization of medical knowledge and vaccines, such large-scale epidemics rarely occur. But in this time and space, plague is the death sickle that harvests life.
Fang Lan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but become nervous. Her eyes looking at Lin Mengya were a little more anxious.
"Pearl will not survive this night, and even if we tell others now, I'm afraid it's too late."
Although it is unclear how Pearl contracted the disease.
But one thing is certain, once this disease breaks out, Pearl will never survive more than twenty-four hours.
In other words, Pearl will die from this plague before the sun rises tomorrow.
In fact, Lin Mengya also wanted to tell more people to avoid innocent casualties.
But just after she got off the bed, Pearl made an inexplicable move, which made her think of something. When she met Pearl in the yard, she didn't cough hard.
However, when Pearl was kowtowing to herself, she coughed so hard that she almost lost her breath.
If that's the case, there's only one possibility.
That was Pearl. She knew clearly that she had been infected with the plague. Moreover, she wanted to spread the plague to her by coughing hard.
There was a slight chill on my spine.
Only now did she understand how vicious Pearl's intentions were. If it weren't for her body, she would have already had antibodies to deal with this germ.
Based on everything just now, she will definitely be infected with this plague virus!
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in Lin Mengya's head.
"Perhaps - Pearl - got this disease on purpose!"
Lin Mengya tentatively expressed her guess.
Bai Su and Fang Lan stared at her in great surprise. How could this be possible?
"It's impossible, Master, are you thinking too much? No matter how much Pearl hates you, she can't use this method, right? Even if she can really make you sick, she's finished!"
Bai Su frowned, this method was simply to die with the enemy.
Fang Lan also agreed with Bai Su's view, and she also had her own reasons.
"That's right, I heard that this Pearl is not an ordinary person. Her family has no
She is a descendant of the clan, so if she catches the eyes of the masters, she is likely to be recommended for a good marriage. Even if there is no marriage proposal, she will still have family waiting for her when she leaves the palace in a few years. Even if she is
Even if you get benefits, this is too ridiculous, right?"
Lin Mengya felt more and more that this possibility was getting bigger and bigger.
In the courtyard, the person who hates her the most is probably Pearl.
Moreover, Bai Su mentioned that this pearl secretly made a rag doll with his own name on it. ??
It means that she must want to die.
Moreover, she had also seen Pearl's eyes hating her. It was a kind of hatred that was almost crazy and twisted.
But Lin Mengya could keenly feel that the source of this hatred was not the acupuncture performed in the hospital that day. In other words, not entirely.
If it were Pearl, there would be a reason to hate her even more, or maybe——
"Don't you think it's strange? The incubation period of this disease is very long. In other words, it's not just a day or two that Pearl contracted this disease. Not to mention you, even Agate, who eats and lives with her, is not infected.
With this kind of disease, do you think that with Agate's body, she can be immune to all diseases?"
Lin Mengya's words instantly confused the two girls.
But when they figured out the key, Bai Su and Fang Lan couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"Could it be that—she let herself get this disease just to—"
Bai Su said in disbelief, his wide eyes full of surprise.
Lin Mengya nodded gently, confirming their guess.
"It's just to make me get this disease."
He sacrificed his life just to drag Lin Mengya into the water.
This kind of trick can be called crazy.
"That is to say, Pearl actually knew what kind of disease she had, and she tried her best not to let Agate get it as well. Could it be said that no one in the palace except her was infected with this plague?"
Fang Lan finally understood why the princess was not anxious at all.
The princess was right, even Agate, who was closest to her, was not infected with the disease, which showed that Pearl had been avoiding the speed of the spread of the disease and the crowds.
"Oh, I remember that when she left, she coughed hard at the master. Master, you won't be infected by her, right?"
Bai Su, who was belatedly aware of this, immediately exclaimed.
But Lin Mengya rolled her eyes. This girl has become more and more attractive since she entered the palace. Not smart anymore.
The smile on the corner of his mouth was quite helpless, but he still pressed down on Bai Su's shoulders and said
"When you miss me, I will turn into bones. Don't worry, I have antibodies to this virus and will not be infected."
Bai Su and Fang Lan looked at Lin Mengya together, their big eyes full of doubts.
Lin Mengya coughed lightly, then lowered her eyes and explained.
"It's the antidote. I took the antidote for this disease when I was a child. Now, this disease has no effect on me."
Oops, I slipped out the word "antibodies" in a hurry.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but smile bitterly when she replaced it with the simplest similar words. If the teacher heard that she, a master's student who graduated from a medical school, couldn't even use a noun every day, I don't know what the teacher would think.
"Oh! So that's it, it scared us to death. Then, is what the master asked us to eat also the antidote for that disease?"
What they just ate was called Baicao Ningxiang Pills.
The teacher asked Long Tianyu to bring it to her. Even though it is a small pill, it is full of essence.
In fact, in the final analysis, this epidemic is just a virus with extremely high incidence and infection rate. Therefore, the Shenong system will analyze the most effective drugs based on the current situation.
Baicao Ningxiang Pills can prevent this plague.
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya almost felt grateful to Pearl for being able to distinguish between love and hate. Otherwise, Bai Su, Fang Lan, and the tenth prince who had just returned might have also suffered from it.
She was infected with the plague but could not infect innocent people. Apart from Pearl's own care, Lin Mengya thought that someone must have taken some measures.
This person definitely doesn't want any large-scale plague to break out in the palace.
Moreover, Pearl was obviously fine a few days ago, so why did she suddenly become ill? There must be a big invisible hand behind her, pushing things forward.
If she wanted to find out clearly who was behind the scenes, she was afraid that she could only find out from Pearl's mouth.
"Bai Su, come with me, let's go see the pearls together."
Having made up her mind, Lin Mengya took out a dark purple cotton-padded jacket from the cabinet.
The night outside was as dark as ink, and she was wearing dark clothes, so it would not be easy for others to recognize her. Moreover, if she was right, the people behind her wanted to prevent more people from being infected with the plague. Therefore, she
Around the yard, this is the time when defenses are at their most relaxed.
