Chapter 1229 Shang Xi takes medicine to prevent plague
The military doctor said, "Your Majesty, I have already examined him before you came. He has only been drinking water all day and has not eaten three meals. He even did not drink the medicine for replenishing qi and blood that I prescribed for him two days ago."
Upon hearing this, Wan Lianxing asked Sui Dan, "What's wrong with you? You won't take your medicine or eat your food. Are you really trying to make things difficult for me?"
Sui Dan said dazedly, "Your Majesty, Dan Dan has no place to take medicine, so he just drinks water all day."
Wan Lianxing said to the people around him: "Help him up for me."
At Wan Lianxing's command, two people came up and helped Sui Dan to sit up. Sui Dan's physical discomfort was definitely not pretended. Sui Dan, who had no idea how to stand or sit, now slumped on the bed like a puddle of mud.
Wan Lianxing said to the people around him, "Open his mouth and feed him food."
Sui Dan got nervous and covered his mouth with his hand. At the same time, his pet snake jumped out from somewhere and sat cross-legged on Sui Dan's legs.
The two soldiers who were about to feed Sui Dan stepped back and said, "Your Majesty, his snake won't let us feed him!"
Wan Lianxing was so angry that he hit the snake's head with his fan and gave it a "bang". Sui Dan was afraid that Wan Lianxing would hurt his snake, so he hurriedly stuffed his snake into his arms.
Wan Lianxing sat on the bed, holding the bowl of pig liver medicinal soup specially made for Sui Dan, and feeding him mouthful by mouthful of rice like an old father feeding medicine to a disappointing son. Sui Dan ate slowly with disdain and said, "Why don't you make fish soup for me? I want to drink fish soup."
"What else do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat prawns, braised or boiled, I'm not picky."
Wan Lianxing sighed in his heart, but still agreed to Sui Dan: "I'll let you eat it tomorrow."
Cheng Feng on the side said quickly: "Uncle, please don't make it difficult for me. It's no problem to go to the river to catch two fish, but I'm not good at catching shrimps."
Wan Lianxing said, "Sui Dan is so sick that he is huddled together. There are so many people outside the military camp waiting for medicine. Hurry up and give Sui Dan good food and drink so that he can recover as soon as possible. I am upset to see him so sick."
Cheng Feng said: "Uncle, are you upset? I think you are just heartbroken!"
Wan Lianxing rolled his eyes at Cheng Feng and said, "Aren't heartache and annoyance both heart problems? If you can get him to eat obediently, can I sit here and feed him spoonful by spoonful?"
Cheng Feng looked at the snake in Sui Dan's arms, which moved from time to time. He shook his head and said, "We don't have that ability."
In a blink of an eye, it was the second day.
Before daybreak, several people came into the camp.
Cheng Feng was still asleep when something jumped onto him. Cheng Feng opened his eyes suddenly, reached out and hugged Cheng Youning, and whispered, "Son, why are you here?"
"I heard there is a plague here, so I came to see what the plague is."
Cheng Feng held the person in his arms with great surprise and asked Cheng Youning, "How dare you come here to see everything? Plague can kill people."
"Little Grandpa has the antidote, right? I just saw a lot of people queuing up at the gate of the military camp to ask for the antidote."
"Although there is medicine, it is better not to get infected with this plague if you can! Where are your mother and the others?"
"My mother and the others are outside the big tent."
"Your mother and the others are here too?"
"We had to come. Zhong Siyu cried all day, insisting that my little grandfather might have been infected with the plague! Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped at the Eighth City. My mother couldn't stop her, and the child insisted on coming. My mother was so angry that she brought us here. By the way, Daddy, where is my little grandfather?"
"Your little grandfather lives in the big tent next to daddy's."
Cheng Feng couldn't lie still any longer, so he stood up and started to put on his clothes, preparing to go out to look for Shang Xi. Just then, Shang Xi and Qiao Rong came in with three bowls of medicine.
Cheng Feng saw Shang Xi grinning from ear to ear, "Shang Xi, what are you serving?"
Shang Xi said: "This is medicine for the plague."
Cheng Feng's heart tightened when he heard this, "Who among you has been infected with the plague?"
"No one has the plague!"
"Who are these three bowls for?"
Shang Xi said: "This plague can kill people if they are infected, so before we get infected, let's drink a bowl of medicine each to prevent it. Cheng Youning, drink the medicine while it's hot."
"Mom, is it okay for me not to drink?"
Shang Xi said, "No, if you don't want to drink, then you can come back to Fengying with me. Didn't you see those people infected with the plague at the door just now? The red things growing on their bodies will increase more and more. If you get infected, you will be the same as them!"
Cheng Youning couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and said in compromise: "Okay, I'll drink it!"
Cheng Youning took the medicine Shang Xi handed him, looking a little reluctant. Cheng Feng looked at the bowls of medicine and felt it was particularly glaring. He wanted to stop the three people in front of him, "Isn't it too early to drink it now?"
Shang Xi had already brought her own bowl of medicine to her mouth and started to drink it, while Qiao Rong had finished her bowl. Seeing this, Cheng Feng covered his eyes with his hands.
After Shang Xi put down the bowl, he asked Cheng Feng: "Have you taken the medicine?"
Cheng Feng shook his head and said, "I don't need to drink, I'm in good health."
Cheng Youning started to act like a spoiled child again when he heard this: "Mom, I'm in good health, so why don't I stop drinking?"
Shang Xi said, "Drink it quickly. This is not a place you should come to. If I wasn't worried about Zhong Siyu coming here alone, I wouldn't have followed you. This is the center of the epidemic area. I heard that with the Eighth City as the center, the surrounding areas are infected with the plague, and the momentum is very strong."
Cheng Feng asked: "The eighth city is sealed off, how did you get here?"
Shang Xi took out a waist badge and showed it to Cheng Feng. "Although the canonization ceremony has not been held yet, I am still the emperor's niece-in-law, and I still have the privilege of coming and going freely. By the way, the plague is so serious, why doesn't my uncle publish the prescription so that everyone can go back and make the medicine themselves? It's so troublesome that everyone is blocking the entrance to the camp. I see that those who are asking for medicine are quite emotional and cursing!"
Cheng Feng said: "The morals of the people here are getting worse and worse. Not only do they want medicinal materials to treat the plague, they also want my uncle to give them food."
Shang Xi's mind worked very quickly, "Could it be that the trouble I caused during the distribution of food in the eleven cities these days?"
Cheng Feng said, "It is related, but not entirely. The people here are different from those in other places. Wherever they go, they complain and put all the blame on my uncle."
"Did my uncle give them food?"
"They are all military rations. Imperial Master Huang Chenming said that not a single grain of these rations can be touched, so my uncle can only give everyone medicine. The medicine has been distributed for three days, and the big pots in the military camp have never been extinguished in the past few days."
