Chapter 313 Disease Outbreak

The epidemic has not occurred in Beijing for many years. After hearing Yan Hu's words, Han was still a little unbelievable, but she also knew the harm of the outbreak. She thought about it and said, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid that if, Xiaoxiao, do whatever you want."

Yan Hu asked the maid to bring paper and pen and wrote a lot of things he needed, so he asked his servants to go out to buy them immediately, and arranged for people to go to major clinics in the city to inquire whether they had been admitted to patients with fever recently.

An hour later, the servants came back one after another, "Mrs. Young lady, the youngsters have asked doctors in various clinics in the city. In the past half month, there have been many patients with headaches and fever, and three have died. The other people in the family who died of illness are also very ill."

Yan Huo felt extremely heavy when he heard this. He was sure it was an epidemic, and felt worse than before. Princess Chengyang heard the news and came from the next door, took the list written by Yan Huo, and hurried into the palace. Yan Huo arranged for his subordinates to cook potions in the mansion to disinfect, and asked the sewing room to make masks. "Anyone who goes out to buy must wear masks. After returning home, take baths with medicines and take medicines to prevent fever. She stayed in the outer courtyard for a day, and only after she was sure there was no discomfort, she could enter the inner courtyard."

After one by one, Yan Hu asked him to go to the old house of Yan's family, the Minister's Mansion, the Prince Rong's Mansion, the Duke of England and other departments to report the news, and then gathered the officials in the mansion. "From today on the way, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion will be closed to thank the guests. Except for the purchasers, everyone else will stay in the mansion and no abnormal movements are allowed. If you dare not obey orders, you will be killed by a stick."

In the evening, Duke An Guo returned to his residence and before he could even ask why there was a smell of medicine in the residence? Han was pressed and filled with a large bowl of medicine. Duke An Guo frowned, "I'm not sick, why do you want me to take medicine?"

"Prevent, a lot of people in the city are sick now. Don't be nagging, hurry up and take a bath." Han urged him.

"Oh!" Duke An Guo wanted to say something, but Han drove him like a fly, and had to go to the bathroom to take a medicine bath first.

That day, Fu Zhixing still came back very late. When he saw Yan Huo sitting in the warm room waiting for him, "Isn't you telling you not to wait, why are you waiting again? I will feel distressed when I get out of dark circles."

"I have something very important to tell you." Yan Huo frowned.

Fu Zhixing was shocked and sat down beside her, "What's wrong? Don't worry, I'll do it."

Yan Huo said the matter again, "Grandmother has entered the palace and told the Supreme Emperor about this. The emperor should have made some arrangements tomorrow. You must be careful in everything. I have soaked and smoked these masks with medicine. I don't know if they are useful, but in the end it is better than not covering them or blocking them."

"Mask?" Fu Zhixing picked up one, "Did you think it out?"

Yan Hu nodded, "I can't help with the matter outside. Don't worry, my mother and I have arranged everything in the mansion."

"Who said you can't help? The epidemic you discovered in advance is a great achievement. You also made a mask for prevention and made another contribution." Fu Zhixing smiled.

Yan Huo smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to make any contributions. I just hope that the epidemic will pass earlier. You are not a doctor. When you are outside, try not to contact those sick people. Although you don't know what the disease is, the elderly and children are always the most likely to be infected. There are elderly people and children in our family."

"I know, I will pay attention. Don't worry, I'll go take a shower and change my clothes first." Fu Zhixing got up and walked out.

Yan Huo nodded and leaned back on the pillow, his heart still heavy.

The next day, the emperor ordered people to check the root cause of the epidemic. After checking, it was found that the situation was already very serious. Only a small number of patients admitted to the clinic, and the nine-member family of Yanliao Lane in the west of the city were dead. Moreover, not only the ordinary people were sick, but some officials and young masters were also infected. What is most panicking is that some people suddenly fell ill in the morning, but they suddenly fell ill in the afternoon. The condition was still very serious. They died in just two or three days.

"What kind of disease is this?" Han couldn't help but feel worried when he received the news that her brother and sister were infected.

The Imperial Hospital's magistrate also wanted to know what disease this is, because he could not find a cure for the epidemic, so he could only use various prescriptions to treat headaches and fever to see which one was effective. All the imperial physicians gathered together to improve the prescription. In order not to spread the epidemic to other towns, the first order was to block the city gates and not allow anyone to enter or exit for the time being. The second order was that all households, except those who bought the purchase, were not allowed to go out. Those who resisted the orders would be killed immediately.

The lively Yandu suddenly became empty and rarely visited. The biggest impact of the lockdown was the soaring prices and the inability to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. At this time, the Han family proudly criticized Duke An Guo, "What's the use of growing so many flowers? You can't eat them. Thanks to Zhuo'er and I, I grew vegetables in the greenhouse, and it's here to come in handy now."

Duke An Guo silently picked up a vegetable and put it in his mouth. The only flowers left seemed to be unable to be saved after spring.

"From the future, I will plant flowers and grass, and I will plant vegetables." Princess Chengyang waved her hand.

Duke An Guoping pouted, he wanted to cry!

Looking at his poor father-in-law, Yan Huo sympathized for him: "Grandma, this flower still needs to be planted. If you don't plant flowers, you will not be able to have a flower viewing banquet in the future. You can't invite someone to enjoy the vegetables, right?"

The eldest princess Chengyang was stunned, "This is the case, so let's grow vegetables in the back garden, and other gardens should grow flowers."

Duke An Guo’s flowers were once again saved. He looked at his daughter-in-law gratefully, but the girl was still caring.

More and more people were infected in the city, and those imperial physicians and doctors who were in close contact with the patients were inevitably infected, and some even died of illness. The emperor gave some rewards to the families of these people. In order to allow the poor civilians to come out to treat the disease, the emperor announced that "no fees will be charged, and the medical expenses will be borne by the court."

Some civilians who had no money did not hide their condition, and the Imperial Hospital also improved the prescription and cured more than ten patients with illness. Seeing that the situation was developing better, news came that Princess Lu was infected with the epidemic. Yan Hu did not pay too much attention to this, and she had a bad relationship with Princess Lu.

The epidemic has been alleviated to a certain extent, but the city gates are still in a state of lockdown. Under such circumstances, the emperor canceled the congratulations on the first day of the New Year, and everyone had a different New Year where they could not visit relatives and friends.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the buyer brought back a message, "Princess Lu died of illness."

The identity of Princess Lu was destined to receive the best treatment, but she died of illness, which made people unable to understand. Although Yan Huo unfortunately passed away at a young age, he sympathized with Princess Lu, but he did not think much about it.
