Chapter 163 Decision

When Prince Yong heard the word "urgent matter", he stopped. He also knew that Cao Yong had always been calm. If he talked about "urgent matter", he was afraid that it would not be a trivial matter.

The Thirteenth Prince also thought this way and hurriedly ordered the servant, "Call him in."

The servant took the order. The Thirteenth Prince looked at Prince Yong again: "Fourth Brother... this, can you stay here and hear what urgent matters are there?"

Prince Yong nodded, and the two of them turned back to the hall and sat down. They saw Cao Yong rushing in, followed by an old man with white beards.

When they were several steps away from the two, Cao Yong stopped, greeted Prince Yong and the Thirteenth Prince, and introduced Doctor Chen to the two. He heard that they were doctors, and felt a vague feeling. Sure enough, Cao Yong then talked about the symptoms of the two relatives recently with a serious expression, and said that he had seen Doctor Chen, because it was a time to get an epidemic, so he came to report.

The Thirteenth Prince was so shocked that he almost stood up from the chair. Prince Yong's brows also twisted into the word "chuan" and said in a deep voice: "The word "Shi Epidemic" cannot be mentioned. What kind of pulse is like? Let me explain it in detail."

Doctor Chen then told the two people about the pathology of the pulse and then said: "The wife, who had been diagnosed with mild illness, was discovered early, and the symptoms of the epidemic were not obvious. She looked like wind and cold, which was quite easy to treat, and she cured quickly, and would not go to others. Today, this one

That situation is already late, and it is a bit dangerous to treat it again. If you still don’t treat it at this time and delay it will turn into a severe disease. At that time, it will be a disease of one person and a room; if you suffer from a room, a disease of one room will cause a city! It may cause a great disaster."

Prince Yong said: "It's time for the epidemic, how sure are you? Also, do you know this method to cure epidemics?"

Chen Taidian said: "I dare not lie to deceive the prince. I have experienced three major epidemics in the past 70 years. Two of them have had such symptoms, so it is clear. The key to treating the epidemic is to "timely". It is best to prevent problems before they happen. You can decoct silver bupleurum, platycodon, scutellaria baicalensis, honeysuckle, pueraria root, etc., and then use Atractylodes, Angelica dahurica, mugwort and other medicines to smoke the room and hall. If it is mild, you need to add Qianghuo, Fangfeng, Red Peony, Scrophularia, Licorice and other ingredients to the prescription and decoct. If it is severe, everyone is different, so it is hard to say it. It depends on the specific pulse. I will write these prescriptions one by one to the prince later."

Prince Yong knew a little about medical skills. Seeing that what Dr. Chen said was very reasonable, he felt that he believed him 70 to 80% of the time, but this matter was not small and he could not draw conclusions lightly. Moreover, the drought was found to be flattened, and the epidemic occurred again... This is the fifty years since the emperor ascended the throne...

Prince Yong's head hurts more and more. He calms his mind and says to Doctor Chen and Cao Yong: "You write down the prescription later, and go back first! Remember, the court will deal with this matter, so don't make any noise."

If this matter is rash and lost, it will definitely cause panic among the people. Not only will these people not be able to save them, but it will cause greater turmoil. Moreover, in this era, if you say this casually, you may become the scapegoat of the court because of "spoken words and disturb the hearts of the people."

Cao Yong and Tai Doctor Chen naturally knew the interests. Both of them hurriedly nodded.

Dr. Chen wrote several prescriptions, marked in detail, and at Cao Yong's prompt, he also wrote about how to make pills. Cao Yong added the epidemic prevention measures he knew, such as washing his hands frequently, boiling bowls and chopsticks and disinfecting them, spraying vinegar for fumigation of the house, and sprinkling lime on the ground water source, etc.

The two wrote down everything they knew and then said goodbye.

After the two left, Prince Yong pinched a few prescriptions, looked solemn, and said to the Thirteenth Prince: "This matter is not bad. I will go back and discuss with the third brother. You should do it according to the method they gave you, be careful."

The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said, "I can't afford it. Fourth Brother must be careful too. This matter... the Emperor Ama..."

Prince Yong sighed slightly and patted the Thirteenth Prince's shoulder: "Let's see..." After saying that, he said goodbye and left, and went to Prince Cheng's mansion to find the Third Prince.

Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Chu Yu looked at the wrapped fingers and sighed helplessly. Although she had not listened to Cao Yong obediently before, how could she untied it because it was him who gave it to her?

When Madam Ye came in, she saw this situation and couldn't help but say, "I have advised the princess to use needles and thread less, and hurt her hands carefully, but she just didn't listen!"

Madam Ye’s son is in charge of the Prince Chun’s Mansion. Yesterday, the youngest son of Ye’s manager, a year-old, came to take Chu Yu to have a love affair and took my mother over to live for a few days.

Chu Yu smiled and stood up and asked Madam Ye to sit down. Madam Ye sat on a chair on the ground.

"Didn't you say you should stay for a few more days? It's hot and there's nothing to do, so why bother to go back and forth in such a hurry!" Chu Yu asked Xiyu to bring the chopped melons on the plate: "Madam, wipe your hands quickly and eat some to relieve fatigue!"

Madam Ye thanked her, Xiyu smiled and said, "Madam is so lucky. This was prepared by the princess. It was originally reserved for the prince!"

Madam Ye wiped her hands and smiled and said, "Old woman, thank you for your kindness!" She picked up a piece and took a bite, and couldn't help but praise, "Although there is little rain this year, this melon is as sweet as the previous years!" When she said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "The rain is not smooth, it's really a bitter for those farmers who rely on the weather to make a living!"

Chu Yu asked a few times when he heard Cao Yong mention it, "Didn't you dig a well? Are there crops short of water?"

Madam Ye shook her head: "The princess doesn't know the livelihood outside, so she would say this. Although there are many villages near the capital, not every family is willing to spend the money for digging wells, and the tenants of these families are in trouble. There are also those small families who have ten or eight acres of thin fields themselves, so where can there be money for digging wells? Only our royal family and the prince who have been eunuchs for generations will be willing to spend money to dig wells."

Seeing Chu Yu frowned when he heard it, and knew that she was kind-hearted, Madam Ye hurriedly turned around and said, "When I went back yesterday, the old woman went to invite several concubine masters. Now that the prince is not in the capital, the few concubine masters are very free, so they take turns to the banker and wipe the leaf card. It was also a coincidence that the big concubine masters touched themselves and rewarded the old woman with two small silver ingots and a few golden melon seeds."

In addition to the legitimate concubine and the side concubine Nara, there are three concubines, Li Jia, Irgen Jueluo, and Barda. Among them, the concubine Jin Balda was a beautiful daughter in the 48th year of Kangxi. After the talent show, he was called to the Chun County Prince's Mansion. He was only two years older than Chu Yu. He was a little lively and was very close to Chu Yu.

After Chu Yu asked about her mother's recent situation and her biological mother, she asked about the Balda family. She was pregnant and she was about to give birth in two or three months.

Madam Ye said, "I'm afraid I didn't see her because of showing off her pregnancy." Speaking of this, she glanced at Chu Yu: "I just heard that the eldest concubine treats her very well now. After she sat down a few months ago, she arranged to change her new yard, and the maid and the mother also added a few more."

Chu Yu nodded and said, "My mother is a great charity. In the past two years, there have been no two princes and one prince in the mansion. Ama is looking forward to adding a child. Li Fujin added a princess before the New Year. If he adds a prince this time, it will be perfect!"

Madam Ye looked at the door and there was no one there. Fang whispered: "Princess treats people so much!"

Chu Yu understood what Madam Ye meant that in addition to her who had already been married, there were three princes and three princes. In addition to the fifth princess who were born by the Great Concubine Jin and the seventh princess who were born by Li Fujin before the New Year, the other three princes, one of the princesses and Chuyu's same mother, were all from the concubine Nara clan.

The great concubine has been looking forward to having a prince in recent years, but in more than ten years, she only gave birth to two daughters and one more. In addition to raising Chu Yu, she also raised the young prince born to Irgen Jueluo, who died the summer of the previous year.

After all, it is the elders' business, not to mention that one is the biological mother and the other is the adoptive mother, and Chu Yu doesn't know what to say.

Madam Ye was about to speak again. Xiyun lifted the curtain and came in and said to Chu Yu: "Prince, the uncle has just returned home. It seems that Sister Amethyst is sick. I invited Doctor Chen to come and see it."

Chu Yu was shocked: "When did it happen? Where is the man now?"

Xiyun shook her head and said, "I don't know everything. Xiaochun just went to the kitchen and heard from the people over there. Zhu'er and Cui'er were so anxious that they had already gone to the Kuiyuan!"

Chu Yu could not sit still, so he immediately got up and went out, and quickly walked to Kuiyuan. Xiyun and Madam Ye followed him. Madam Ye thought about such a big thing and didn't go back and forth. She felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but mutter: "Even if you are sick, you have to send someone to say something. Why bother the uncle!"

Chu Yu was worried that he was not good enough, so he hired Dr. Chen, which showed that he was not very ill.

As soon as he entered the yard, Chu Yu smelled the strong smell of acetic acid. Zhu'er and Cui'er stood in the yard, asking Chai'er and Huan'er.

Amethyst said to Cao Yong at the end that the epidemic was very low, and Chai'er and Huan'er didn't hear it clearly. After Dr. Chen came, in addition to Cao'er, he held everyone away, so Chai'er and Huan'er were also confused.

Seeing that Chu Yu was coming, everyone bent over to greet him. Chu Yu nodded and came directly to the Amethyst House.

When Zi Jing was in the room, she heard the movement outside and knew that it was the princess who came. She didn't want her to worry. She walked to the window and said, "I am just a little ill, but because the old doctor told me that it is not appropriate to see the wind, so the princess doesn't have to worry!"

When Chu Yu heard that her voice was not different from the past, he felt relieved, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, and was still worried: "Then I'll go into the house to see my sister? It's not good to keep talking through the door like this."

How could Amethyst let her come in? Naturally, she persuaded her to go there again and again.

When Chu Yu saw that she didn't let go, he felt more and more uneasy. Although he left, he signaled Chai'er and Huan'er to come out.

After this question, Mr. Zhuang asked again. Chu Yu's brows were tighter and tighter. When she got married, she could see clearly that Mr. Zhuang was like Amethyst, and was a man who was dependent on his husband. Now, even Mr. Zhuang in the front yard was alarmed and sent someone to pick up the imperial physician. How could it be that Amethyst herself said that she was a little sick?

Chu Yu asked Chai'er carefully again, Huan'er's two amethyst complexion, but when it came to her, what was uncomfortable, and so on. The answers between Chai'er and Huan'er made her confused. After thinking about it, she decided to go to Mr. Zhuang to ask what was going on.

Cao Yong gave the treatment and disinfection to Changgui and his wife at Qiu Niang's house. He did not mention it was an epidemic, but just told them to do so. As long as the Changgui and his wife did not take responsibility, everything would be fine, so naturally they would not ask too much. Cao Yong repeatedly told Cao's mansion to report to Cao's mansion in time, and the two agreed.

Because he was worried about Jueluo's mansion, Cao Yong went there before returning home. He asked Cao Yi carefully after a few steps away. Because Mrs. Jueluo's treatment was premature and did not turn into an epidemic, the people of Jueluo's family were not abnormal. However, he had to be careful, so he gave Cao Yi the prescription he asked from Dr. Chen and explained the disinfection method, asking her not to ask more questions, and just do it like this.

When I returned home, it was already dusk.

Chu Yu and Mr. Zhuang were both waiting for him in the front hall. When he saw him coming back with a little tiredness, Chu Yu stood up to greet him. Cao Yong hurriedly took a few steps back and said with a smile: "Chu Yu, don't move, I just came back from the outside, and I'm covered in dirt!"

Chu Yu had just asked Mr. Zhuang the reason. Cao Yong had gone out with Doctor Chen for so long. I think as they were worried, it was the epidemic.

Chu Yu's eyes turned red immediately, and Mr. Zhuang's expression became heavy. Cao Yong sat on the chair opposite the two and said with a smile: "I'm away from the patient, just in case! This dress cannot be taken, it will burn in a while!" He was really unsure of the infectious diseases in ancient times, and he didn't know whether the chance of contagion was high. If he became an infectious agent himself, it would be bad.

Cao Yong orally told Mr. Zhuang that he had just recorded the prescription, asked him to copy it a few points, and sent someone to the Pingwang Mansion, Zhaojia Mansion, Wanyan Mansion and others. The word "epidemic" cannot be mentioned, but it is only said that it was a casual prescription, used for heat prevention.

In the mansion, someone was immediately sent to take prescriptions to pick up medicine for Amethyst.

In order to be safe, Cao Yong did not return to the inner courtyard. He smiled and comforted Chu Yu, saying that he would have to rest in the study for a few days after sorting out old official documents. Chu Yu looked at him for a long time and nodded in agreement.

Whether it was the bathtub, hot water or the luggage bed, Cao Yong asked someone to put it at the door of the study and took it himself.

After taking a shower, Cao Yongfang felt hungry and had tossed for a whole afternoon. He hadn't had dinner yet, but he didn't know what was going on in the kitchen, so he didn't send someone to deliver it.

While Cao Yong rubbed his hair with a towel, he was thinking about whether to call someone to urge him, and then he heard footsteps outside.

"But the food is being delivered? Put it at the door!" Cao Yong said loudly.

Someone answered outside, and then the footsteps started to go further and further away.

Cao Yong was so hungry that he hurriedly opened the door to pick it up. Chu Yu stood at the door. He was about to speak up and persuade him again, but Chu Yu had already come in with a food box. It was a large food box with multiple layers. Chu Yu was carrying it quite hard. Cao Yong couldn't help but reach out and wanted to take it. After thinking about it, he put it down and said with a smile: "Why are you here in person? Just send someone to deliver it?"

Chu Yu didn't say anything, and put away the things on the desk and arranged the meal, but there were two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

When Cao Yong saw this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed: "When is it now? Why haven't you eaten yet? Do you still want your body?"

Chu Yu did not refute and went to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong still wanted to retreat, but he couldn't. The little girl threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and buried her little head in his arms.

Cao Yong was about to speak, but his chest was warm and wet.

"No matter what the prince is, Chu Yu will be with you!" Chu Yu choked up, his voice was not loud, but he was full of determination: "Chu Yu doesn't want the prince to be alone in the room!"

Cao Yong sighed in his heart, originally wanted to pull her hand away, stop in the air, and finally land on her back: "What a little fool, I'm just looking for Yuko to be lazy and rest at home for a few days!"

Chu Yu raised his little face and looked serious: "Chu Yu is so close to the prince. In case of precautions, it is inconvenient to go back to the back. I can only follow the prince here!"

After all this, what else can Cao Yong say? The couple ate supper together.

Both of them were worried about Amethyst. Chuyu had already asked the kitchen to prepare supplements for Amethyst. Before coming, she went to Kuiyuan and carefully looked at Chai'er and Huan'er's Amethyst's appetite for supper. She also talked for a while outside the Amethyst's door.

When Prince Yong left the Third Prince's Mansion, it was almost Xu (8 o'clock in the evening). He couldn't help but touch his throat. He was really dry. The third brother looked like a good-tempered person, but he was extremely stubborn. Even though he had a hard time talking, the third prince still felt that the matter was too serious and wanted to send someone to Rehe to ask for an order and make a decision.

Rehe is more than 400 miles away from the capital, and even if it is used to use the "800 miles", it takes four days to travel back and forth.

It is not known about the epidemic situation in Sijiucheng at the moment, but there are two families in the family that the Shan Cao family met. It can be seen that this is definitely not a matter of one household or two, so Prince Yong did not dare to delay it. However, before the Shengjia left Beijing, he explained that the two princes needed to discuss and resolve the problem, and they should not go arbitrarily.

Until he said he was willing to take full responsibility, the third prince agreed to send people to Rehe to request orders while starting to prepare some epidemic prevention measures.

Changsui led the horse, but Prince Yong did not go to the royal palace, but went directly to the Shuntian Palace.

A shrill cry came from a house at the entrance of Wailu Hutong in Nancheng. When the neighbor heard this, he couldn't help but sympathize: "It's really pitiful. In just half a month, I've lost two children in a row!"
