NOVEL NEXT Chapter 68 Together
In the imperial study.
Shangguan Yanxi rubbed his headache forehead, looked at the people below, and said in a deep voice.
"My dear ministers, do you have any way to solve this epidemic?"
The ministers below looked at each other and chose to remain silent. No one wanted to be the first to speak out.
What can be done? At this time, either open the national treasury to provide disaster relief or let the imperial hospital control the temperament. These are all old-fashioned methods.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this epidemic has spread too fast, and there has never been a good way to treat the plague in the past hundred years. They can only rely on themselves to get through it."
"I think the city gates should be closed immediately to prevent those refugees from coming in."
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue suggested, what a joke, saying that the national treasury cannot be opened at all, and now the national treasury is so empty that she can't take out the money.
After this, everyone was silent.
Although this sounded cruel, it was also the best way. What if the city gates were opened and those refugees came in and were infected?
At this time, Shangguan Yanxue was talking to the system in her heart.
[System, do you have a solution for the plague? ]
[Host, please rest assured, there is medicine in the system. ]
Shangguan Yuxue's eyes lit up slightly.
Unexpectedly, this system is more magical than she imagined. In this way, she doesn't have to wait for Su Yao's research results.
Then she stood up and saluted.
"Mother Queen, this method is inappropriate and too cruel. This will chill the hearts of the people."
After a pause, he said:
"Even if the city gates are blocked, how long can the food in the city last? Moreover, many people in the capital can no longer afford food."
"Son, I am willing to give it a try."
Su Yao has been studying prescriptions for treating the plague, and this credit must not fall on her head.
Shangguan Yanxi frowned slightly and glanced at Shangguan Yuxue disapprovingly.
She is the future crown prince, how can she take risks.
But she is the king of a country, so she can't stop it.
"Well, what do you think, my dear ministers?"
Then she picked up the teacup, took a sip, and glanced at Prime Minister Fu.
Prime Minister Fu understood and stood up.
"Your Majesty, this is not possible. The Seventh Princess still has to sort the memorials. Besides, the Seventh Princess' husband is already pregnant. How can he leave the Seventh Princess?"
The other ministers looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
They all clasped their fists.
"I second the motion."
Hearing this, the eyes of the remaining princesses flashed and they all agreed.
The usual tension has now become a rare united front.
And at this moment, a gentle voice interrupted.
"Your Majesty, I recommend General Su. General Su's medical skills are no worse than the Seventh Princess."
After a pause, he said:
"My master was dying, and it was General Su who cured him."
Hearing this, the other ministers were surprised.
This person was none other than Li Tong, the new champion.
She actually felt a little guilty when she said this. After all, this job was thankless and she might get the plague if she was not careful.
However, she felt that she was not wrong, as this was a matter of life and death for thousands of people.
She believed that the general, who was a defender of his country, would not be afraid of death.
At this time, Su Lan stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, Yaoyao is indeed the most suitable candidate. She has been studying the prescription for the plague."
If this great achievement is achieved by Su Yao, their palace will return to its previous peak.
As for whether Su Yao would be infected, she had never thought about it. After all, she was so powerful that she would definitely be able to overcome it.
Shangguan Yanxi stood up excitedly.
"Are you serious?"
Su Lan clasped her fists and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I dare not lie. This is indeed true, and the Seventh Princess also knows it."
"And this anti-epidemic prescription was participated in by Doctor Duanmu."
"And Doctor Duanmu died because of this prescription."
After speaking, Su Lan winked at Su Yao, motioning her to come forward and answer.
At the same time, everyone's eyes looked at Su Yao excitedly.
At this moment, Su Yao seemed to be a little out of shape and was actually distracted.
"Cough."
Shangguan Yanxi frowned and coughed to remind Su Yao.
When Su Yao came back to her senses, she saw so many pairs of eyes staring at her, with green light in her eyes, just like a dog seeing a meat bone.
Shangguan Yanxi's eyes flickered slightly, and her tone could not tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Hehe, I don't know what you are thinking about so absorbedly."
Hearing this, Su Yao stepped forward.
"I'm thinking about the plague."
Shangguan Yanxi picked up the teacup to cover the coldness in his eyes, smiling on his face.
"I don't know if you have any good ideas."
Su Yao shook her head.
"I thought about it, and the most important thing now is to control the epidemic."
"This thing spreads very quickly. If it is not stopped, the next city to suffer will be the capital."
"I have been studying the recipe for the plague, maybe this will be a breakthrough."
Shangguan Yuxue's eyes flashed with a cold light, which was really ineffective and almost ruined her big plan.
She had waited until the plague broke out and the people were desperate. This epidemic would be the biggest help for her to ascend to that position.
She had a system, so it was even more impossible for her to be infected.
At that time, she could do everything herself, and wouldn't it be possible for the refugees to be grateful?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yuxue spoke firmly.
"Mother, as a princess, how can you be hindered by trivial matters in such a matter of life and death."
"Secondly, apart from being a princess, I am also a doctor. How can I watch lives being lost?"
"I want to treat those refugees with General Su. Please approve."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yanxi was reluctant to let her take risks, but at the same time she was relieved.
No wonder Master Huiren said that Xue'er was born under the fate of an emperor. Such a person who cares about the country and the people will definitely be a good emperor in the future.
"Well, that's fine. However, you should do your best and still focus on your own safety."
Shangguan Yanxi urged.
In the end, the matter ended with Su Yao and Shangguan Yuxue.
For a while, the capital was also in a panic, and the doors of each mansion were closed.
The people did not dare to go out, and the once prosperous streets were desolate.
In the Prince Su's Mansion, Begonia Courtyard.
Su Tang walked back and forth restlessly, his heart full of anxiety and uneasiness, and kept looking at the door.
Su Tang's eyes lit up slightly, and he walked quickly towards the door.
"How is it, how is it?"
Su Tang stared at the visitor with expectation.
"Little... Miss, I asked around, now let alone the gambling house, all the shops are closed."
The light in Su Tang's eyes disappeared little by little.
She turned around listlessly and walked towards the house.
The maid pondered for a while and decided to persuade her.
After all, as the lady's personal maid, she can only be well if the lady is well.
So, she walked forward.
"Miss, the gambling house is not a good place, you should not go there again in the future."
Su Tang waved his hand, his voice full of powerlessness.
"Go down."
"Little..."
The maid wanted to persuade her again, but looking at the decadent back of her own lady, she could only sigh and turn away.
