Li Shimin was well aware of the importance of this matter and immediately ordered the entire palace to be tested.
He was the first to ask for a test strip and took it directly into his mouth.
This really made Muchuan happy. It seemed that Li Er was quite afraid of death.
Everyone in the palace quickly received this decree. Most of them knew nothing about the Black Death. Even when they heard this decree, they found it quite strange.
You know, there are occasionally some strange diseases in the palace, such as smallpox, chickenpox, etc., but they can be suppressed and dealt with quickly.
Now, the Black Death came, and it actually attracted so much attention from the emperor himself. He didn't know how serious this Black Death was.
"Is this the test strip?"
Empress Changsun looked at the test strips brought by the steward maid and was quite curious.
Although this test strip is simple, it is not crude at all. The overall structure is quite beautiful. If taken out alone, it would be like a work of art.
The maid in charge of the palace nodded and said with a hint of pride: "Madam, I heard that this test strip was developed by Muchuan himself."
After all, Muchuan was half his uncle, so the maid in charge of the palace was naturally a little proud of Muchuan's meritorious service.
"It's Muchuan again."
Empress Changsun sighed softly. When she mentioned Muchuan, she always felt quite complicated.
It's not that Empress Changsun had any idea of committing herself to Muchuan because of Muchuan's life-saving grace. That is simply impossible.
But the life-saving grace is indeed important, and Muchuan not only saved her, but also saved her daughter.
Moreover, Li Shimin also valued Muchuan, which made Empress Changsun even more entangled.
You must know that Muchuan is most likely the real culprit who killed his nephew. If he gets along harmoniously with him, he may break his brother's heart.
"Empress?"
Seeing Empress Changsun staring at the test paper in a daze, the stewardess called out softly.
Queen Changsun came back to her senses, sighed softly again, and without saying anything else, she directly put the test strip in her mouth.
It's safe inside the Queen's Palace.
Princess Changle was so moved after receiving the test paper that she was willing to hold it in her mouth after looking at it for a long time.
After all, this is Muchuan's invention.
Safety inside Princess Changle Palace.
In the imperial concubine's palace, Concubine Yang also received the test strips.
(The concubine Yang here is not Yang Yuhuan, but just a concubine named Yang)
Concubine Yang paid no attention to the test paper or the Black Death. After receiving the test paper, she directly stuffed it into the mouth of her puppy.
"Your Majesty, is this not a good idea?"
The palace maid looked on with a little fear.
You must know that this is an order issued by His Majesty himself. Concubine Yang is so contemptuous. If His Majesty finds out, I am afraid that the concubine's position will not be preserved.
Concubine Yang sneered and grabbed the palace maid's ear, "You little servant, how dare you question me?"
"Mother, I was wrong, I never dare to do it again!"
If it were normal times, Concubine Yang would definitely punish this palace maid severely, but she was not in the mood now and just kicked her out.
After expelling all the idlers, Concubine Yang came to the backyard.
There is a pond in the backyard.
The pond is quite clear, with many small fish swimming leisurely in it.
However, before these small fish could rest for a long time, a light yellow fish suddenly jumped out from the gap between the fake rocks and bit one of the small fish in one bite.
This light yellow fish is quite ferocious. It ate up all the small fish in two or three mouthfuls, and then tried to hide in the fake rocks.
However, a white hand suddenly reached out to it and grabbed it.
Concubine Yang looked at the light yellow fish in her hand, her eyes full of excitement.
"Yu'er, Yu'er, grow up quickly. You are my best hope to become the master of the harem."
The light yellow fish was frightened, but it suddenly expanded, looking like a balloon, and it was really tight.
Then, Concubine Yang threw it into the pond. The light yellow fish suddenly changed back to its original shape, and hid in the fake rocks as if it was running away.
Yang Guifei took out the test strip from the dog's mouth, and the result was no exception, with no abnormality.
Is it safe in the Royal Palace?
"The Black Death?"
Li Zhi couldn't help but look at Lawrence and Jack, who were both frightened out of their wits after hearing the name.
"how?
Do you two know what the Black Death is?"
Li Zhi asked.
Lawrence swallowed his saliva, and with the shock in his eyes, he hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the Black Death is a world-destroying plague sent by the devil Satan. Once this plague appears, it will destroy all lives and cause countless deaths and injuries!"
Hearing this, Li Zhi looked slightly surprised.
He would not believe the devil and Satan mentioned by Lawrence, but what he cared about was that the Black Death was actually a plague.
Among many natural disasters, plague is the most terrifying.
Famines, floods, etc. are all regional, at least other places will not suffer from them.
But the plague is different. As long as it spreads, the whole world will probably suffer from it.
"Is the Black Death really so terrible?"
Li Zhi couldn't help but ask.
Lawrence nodded repeatedly, "Your Highness, although I don't know if this test strip is useful, we should test it quickly. If we don't treat the Black Death quickly, God will not be able to save us if it gets serious!"
After saying that, Lawrence didn't care about anything else and quickly put the test strip in his mouth.
Li Zhi was stunned for a while, but he didn't dare to neglect, and he also held the test strip in his mouth.
Half an hour later, the results came out, and they were shocking.
Lawrence, Jack, and the other Templars were all fooled!
Li Zhi was also frightened by this result and quickly ordered people to isolate these people.
Just kidding, Li Zhi has been in close contact with these people recently. If he gets infected, he will be very unlucky!
"Your Highness, do you want to report the details?"
The men asked Li Zhi, who was still in shock.
Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.
If it were reported, Lawrence and others would definitely be exposed. Wouldn't that be self-inflicted?
By then, even if the prince's assassination had nothing to do with him, he would not be able to defend himself at all.
As a result, the Prince's Palace is also safe.
Similar situations occurred one after another in the palace, where some people did not report their illness, or they were simply unwilling to take the test.
In short, the final report showed that only eight people in the huge palace were suffering from the Black Death.
After learning the result, Muchuan looked quite ugly.
He knew very well that given the bloatedness and decay of the palace, the eight people exposed were probably all secretly hidden and had overflowed.
These ignorant ancient people all thought that if they were exposed to illness, they would be beheaded and cremated, so they tried every means to conceal it.
Muchuan could already guess that when tests were carried out among the public, there would only be a lot more similar cases.
