Obviously, they didn't sleep well last night, or they didn't sleep at all.

Zhu Xiuyuan could only sigh in his heart.

After all, Dong Cheng was their biological father, and the love between father and daughter was deep. No matter how he comforted them, no matter how he enlightened them, they could not hide the fact that Dong Cheng was indeed infected with the plague.

The ancients' emphasis on filial piety was not just for fun.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't see the two of them looking like this, so he simply didn't sign for the mortgage and just stayed with them alone.

...I spent the whole day in sadness and suffering.

During this period, Dong Cheng woke up several times, and every time Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen went to talk to Dong Cheng.

Facing the sober Dong Cheng, the two sisters did not cry or shed tears. They only told Dong Cheng some interesting stories from the past.

Over at the Chenghuang Temple, Doctor Zhang was still busy nervously.

In order to understand the latest progress, Zhu Xiuyuan specially arranged for a person to travel back and forth to deliver news between the Chenghuang Temple and the state government.

If Doctor Zhang formulates a good prescription that can cure the plague, only Zhu Xiuyuan and the Dong sisters in the yamen will know about it immediately!

However, the more expectations you have in your heart, the longer the waiting time will be.

The two sisters, Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen, spent seconds like years, quietly guarding outside the small ear room, silent, looking up from time to time to look at the entrance door...

However, what greeted them was disappointment again and again. Doctor Zhang’s medicine had not been prepared yet!

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know what to say. He just stayed beside the two sisters silently and looked in that direction together, hoping that the miracle would come soon.

In a blink of an eye, it’s noon.

Zhu Xiuyuan coaxed the two sisters to eat something, and then continued to wait.

Disappointed, the time came to the afternoon and evening.

This time no matter how Zhu Xiuyuan coaxed them, the two sisters could not eat anything.

Seeing that Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen were getting more and more haggard, Zhu Xiuyuan was at his wits' end.

...and it was already late at night in the blink of an eye.

The news that the Dong sisters were looking forward to has still not arrived...

Zhu Xiuyuan tried his best to ask them to go back and sleep, but it was all in vain.

Dong Shuyu's stubbornness and strength were fully demonstrated, and Zhu Xiuyuan was unable to do anything to her.

And Dong Shuzhen, the wife who has always been dominated by him, is now "following her sister", and what he said doesn't work anymore...

There was no other way, so Zhu Xiuyuan had to get three quilts and wrap Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen respectively.

The remaining quilt was for Zhu Xiuyuan's personal use.

The Dong sisters wanted to keep vigil here, so Zhu Xiuyuan would not go to rest alone.

…

The time comes for the next day.

The good news of defeating the plague came one after another.

Yesterday, the number of people newly infected with the plague hit new lows during the day and night, already as low as 300!

From the beginning, tens of thousands of people were infected in half an hour, and now only 300 people are infected in a day.

The effect of plague prevention and control methods is too obvious!

They have almost got this plague under control.

In ancient times, being able to stop the spread of a plague was a great achievement.

As for people who are already infected... they are usually left to fend for themselves.

Therefore, it can now be said that they have defeated this plague!

However, Zhu Xiuyuan was not happy.

Seeing the haggard looks of Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen, Zhu Xiuyuan's depression reached its peak, no less than when the plague was spreading unbridled everywhere.

In the morning, the two sisters waited with full hope, only to be disappointed.

In the afternoon, the long-awaited news still had not arrived.

The hope in the hearts of the two Dong sisters began to dissipate...

evening.

"Good news, good news, Doctor Zhang has prepared a good prescription that can cure the plague..." Someone rushed over, shouting.

"It's been prepared!"

Dong Shuyu, who had been waiting for this news, was overjoyed when she heard the news. She jumped up from the ground in a panic. As a result, she was very weak because she didn't think about food and food and didn't sleep at night.

As soon as I stood up, I felt dizzy and swaying.

Dong Shuzhen also stood up. Because of her martial arts practice, her physical fitness was better than that of Dong Shuyu. Although she was uncomfortable, she was not shaking or unstable.

So she hurriedly helped her sister Dong Shuyu.

"Quick, go and boil this medicine!"

Zhu Xiuyuan jumped up and quickly ordered the two women taking care of Dong Cheng to boil the medicine.

The man who brought the good news was also carrying a packet of medicine, which should be the medicine to cure the plague!

The two women did not dare to neglect, immediately took the package of herbs and hurried to the next room.

This room has been transformed into a temporary kitchen to make medicine for Dong Cheng.

"Shuyu, madam, have you seen it? The medicinal materials are here! My father-in-law is saved!" Zhu Xiuyuan shouted happily.

"Well..." Dong Shuyu was weak, forcing a smile on his haggard face.

"Madam, help Shuyu in quickly to rest. Also, eat something quickly. Don't wait for your father-in-law to get better while you continue to be sick..."

The two women prepared the medicine as quickly as possible. As the eldest daughter, Dong Shuyu personally served the soup and medicine to the unconscious Dong Cheng, who drank the long-awaited bowl of medicine.

Not long after, Doctor Zhang came.

He opened his arms, put his fingers on Dong Cheng's wrist, and closed his eyes to check for pulse.

After the death of Divine Doctor Zhang, Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuyu, Dong Shuzhen, the five military officers, and the palace steward, etc., all came.

This prescription has been prepared and is said to be effective on people who have just been infected with the plague.

But no one knows whether the time when Dong Cheng was infected with the plague was within this "soon" range.

After all, Dong Cheng has been infected with the plague for a long time, so no one can say for sure.

Now that Dong Cheng has taken the medicine, whether he dies or lives depends on God's will.

The person who announced this providence was Dr. Zhang who was diagnosing Dong Cheng's pulse.

So everyone craned their necks to stare at Divine Doctor Zhang, but no one said a word.

Everyone was anxious and looking forward to it, hoping that Dr. Zhang would finally say "the plague has been cured."

Among them, the Dong sisters are the most worried and anxious...

Zhu Xiuyuan squeezed Dong Shuzhen's hand, and Dong Shuzhen squeezed Dong Shuyu's hand.

This is a very critical moment.

Whether Dong Cheng lives or dies depends on now!

Suddenly, Doctor Zhang opened his eyes, stood up slowly, and smoothed the goat's beard.

"Miracle doctor, how is daddy?" Dong Shuyu asked softly.

Her voice was very soft and very cautious, fearing that if she spoke too harshly, the final result would be tilted in a bad direction.

Doctor Zhang's eyes swept over Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen in turn, and finally landed on Zhu Xiuyuan's face.

He smiled and said: "Congratulations, little brother. Judging from the pulse, Ling Taishan's plague has completely disappeared. It's just that his body is relatively weak. This is caused by overwork. It's no longer a problem. I'll wait for me to prescribe a prescription to nurse him back to health."

Just a few days!”

Zhu Xiuyuan was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said to Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen: "Shuyu, madam, have you heard that my father-in-law is well..."
Chapter completed!
