However, extreme joy brings sorrow.

Before Dong Cheng finished speaking, he saw his upright body swaying leisurely, his steps sloppy, and he couldn't help but hold on to the desk.

"Father-in-law!"

"grown ups!"

Everyone including Zhu Xiuyuan screamed in shock, stood up one after another, and widened their eyes.

Zhu Xiuyuan instantly remembered Dong Shuyu's earnest instructions to him, asking him to take good care of her father.

If something really goes wrong with Dong Cheng, how should Zhu Xiuyuan face the Dong sisters when he goes back!

"It's okay, I'm okay..."

Dong Cheng held the desk with both hands and tried his best to put a smile on his face, trying to comfort the excited people.

However, Dong Cheng suddenly felt dizzy, his whole body and limbs felt exhausted, his scalp was numb, and then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

"Father-in-law!"

Zhu Xiuyuan rushed up with a quick step and helped Dong Cheng, who was rushing toward the desk, with a horrified look on his face.

In the past few days, Zhu Xiuyuan has been worried about Dong Cheng's health, but Dong Cheng is the backbone of everything.

He has been working under a high load and has stayed up several all-nighters...

At this last moment, when the plague is about to be defeated, has Dong Cheng finally collapsed?!

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

Everyone was panicked.

"Quick, go and ask for Doctor Zhang!"

…

After a while of fussing.

In a small side room next to the room where the military records were signed, Dong Cheng was lying quietly on a simple bed.

Doctor Zhang sat in front of the bed, put his fingers on Dong Cheng's wrist, closed his eyes and took his pulse.

After the death of Divine Doctor Zhang, Zhu Xiuyuan and the other five military officers, as well as the leaders of the three squadrons of government officials, were all present.

The palace steward also came, standing behind the crowd and watching silently.

Although there were many people in this small ear room, it was very quiet, and no sound could be heard except the sound of breathing.

No one wanted to disturb Dr. Zhang's diagnosis of Dong Cheng's pulse.

After a long time.

Doctor Zhang's eyes suddenly opened, and then he jumped up from the stool, and the hand taking the pulse left Dong Cheng's wrist.

Zhu Xiuyuan, who had been staring closely at Divine Doctor Zhang, saw his actions, and his heart suddenly trembled, something was not good.

"Miracle doctor, how is my father-in-law?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked immediately, praying in his heart that this would not be the result.

After Divine Doctor Zhang jumped up from the stool, he opened his arms, blocked everyone behind him, and stepped back slowly, his expression serious and solemn.

It's as if Dong Cheng is a time bomb that will explode at any time. Even if he retreats, he has to be very gentle...

Zhu Xiuyuan felt more and more unhappy, and asked again: "Miracle doctor, what happened to my father-in-law?"

Doctor Zhang took several steps back, then stopped, turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan, and said with a solemn expression: "Master Dong...is infected with the plague!"

"What!"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, their faces full of disbelief.

…

Dong's Mansion.

Buddhist temple.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, it's not good, it's not good..."

Dong Shuyu's personal maid Chunxue came running all the way, holding the hem of her skirt in both hands, walking fast and in a hurry, shouting all the way.

There was a kind of extreme shock, fear and terror in her screams.

It's like the sky is falling.

In front of the Buddha statue, on the futon, two sisters, Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen, were kneeling upright.

I closed my eyes, clasped my hands together, and recited the scriptures devoutly.

Haruyuki's frightened scream suddenly reached the ears of the two sisters. The two sisters suddenly felt uneasy. They both opened their eyes and looked sideways behind them.

"Haruyuki, why are you so panicked?"

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss..." After Chunxue ran into the Buddhist hall, she suddenly fell in front of Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen, and said with a tearful voice: "Master, he... Master, he is infected with the plague!"

boom!

It was like a thunderbolt exploding in the minds of the two Dong sisters.

Dong Shuyu felt dizzy, and her thin and delicate body suddenly went limp. In her confusion, she heard Chunxue and her sister Zhen'er pulling her and yelling, and then she lost consciousness.

…

yamen.

The small penthouse where Dong Cheng is located has been isolated.

This is a small isolation area set up solely for Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng's status was unusual, so it was naturally impossible for him to be sent to the isolation area behind the City God's Temple.

Zhu Xiuyuan refused, and the other five Cao Cao officials were also unwilling to join the army.

Two women who knew how to care for people infected with the plague were transferred to take care of Dong Cheng alone.

This not only prevents Dong Cheng's condition from worsening, but also prevents Dong Cheng from spreading the plague to others.

After several days of practice, these two women are qualified for this job.

In the recording room next to the small ear room, Zhu Xiuyuan, the palace steward, all the military officers, and the leaders of the three squadrons of government officials gathered together.

The palace steward asked: "How could Mr. Dong be infected with the plague?"

"Maybe last night, we went to the isolation area behind the Chenghuang Temple to visit patients infected with the plague..."

"Your Majesty, you have not rested for several days. You have been working hard all day long and have not gotten a good rest. So your 'immunity' must be insufficient. You are wandering in the quarantine area again..."

"Hey, it's too late to say anything now. We can only wait for Miracle Doctor Zhang to prepare a good prescription that can cure the plague as soon as possible and give it to adults."

"Why……"

"Zhu Canjun's method of preventing and controlling the plague is certainly the most important, but if you don't have someone to arrange it, I'm afraid we won't be spared either. Your contribution is no less than that of Zhu Canjun!"

"We must cure the adults!"

"Now we have almost suppressed the spread of the plague, but in the future, we still have a lot of things to do. Not to mention the governor... they still need you..."

"Wish you join the army, the eldest lady of the Dong family and Mrs. Ling are here!" At this time, a government servant came in to announce.

After hearing this, everyone present stopped talking and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan arched his head casually: "Butler, ladies and gentlemen, I will come as soon as I can."

"Congratulations on joining the army, please feel free to do so!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded, left the signing room, and quickly came to the gate of the Yamen.

Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen just got off the carriage. The two sisters supported each other, looking pitifully at Zhu Xiuyuan together.

"Shuyu, madam, why are you here?"

Zhu Xiuyuan hurried up to greet them. When he took a closer look, he saw that both women's eyes were red. They had obviously shed tears, and there was still a glimmer of light in the corners of their eyes.

Dong Shuyu said softly: "Let's come see daddy."

Dong Shuzhen was about to cry: "Husband, where is daddy?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was a little afraid to go see Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen. He always felt that he had failed to live up to their instructions. He sighed, nodded and said: "Come with me, I will take you in."

A group of three people entered the yamen and went all the way to the small side room next to the room where the officers and soldiers were recorded and signed.
Chapter completed!
