320 Was Indeed a Risk of Infection
The people were speechless by this question. After looking at each other, no one was willing to take the risk.
“Your Royal Highness…” When Princess Liuying heard this, she clearly realized that the development of the matter had far exceeded her imagination.
Originally, she wanted to use the crime of spreading rumors to directly bring down Gu Qingxue. However, she did not expect that the matter would develop to this extent.
After the appearance of the prince, the wind was completely in Gu Qingxue’s favor!
Only then did Princess Liuying realize that with the prince’ favor, no one would be able to shake her position no matter what.
“I have already ordered to report the discovery of the plague to the imperial court. During this period, Gu Qingxue will be in charge of leading the commoners to fight against the plague. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy.” As Rong Zhan spoke, his sharp gaze swept behind him, and everyone present trembled in fear.
No one present dared to challenge Rong Zhan. All of them should leave and return home.
After hearing Rong Zhan’s words, Gu Qingxue’s originally worried heart finally calmed down.
With Rong Zhan’s support, they could at least guarantee that the commoners would pay attention to the plague and put up various protective measures.
“Yu’er, I want to ask you for a favor.” Gu Qingxue kept a distance from Gong Lingyu, she stared at her and said, “I won’t be able to go home for a while. I want you to help me take care of my family.”
Gong Lingyu nodded without hesitation, patted her chest, and promised, “Sister Gu, don’t worry. I’ll do it personally! Including the An Pharmacy. I’m willing to do anything to help Sister Gu.”
“What do you need me to do?” Rong Zhan immediately asked when he saw that Gu Qingxue had actually handed over the responsibility of her family to Gong Lingyu.
“I want to ask Your Royal Highness to accompany me to Tie Family Village. That is the source of the beginning of the plague. If you want to control the plague, you must go there. After arriving there, Your Royal Highness only needs to be responsible for maintaining order. I will think of a way to save those villagers,” said Gu Qingxue.
She thought of Tie Daniu. It was not hard to imagine that most of the remaining villagers would be infected. The closure of the village could control the plague under many circumstances, but that did not mean that the plague would not spread.
Their priority was to control the source and try their best to develop a medicine that could treat the corpse rash.
Go to the source of the plague? This sounded like a very important task.
Gong Lingyu was a little worried. She looked at the two of them uneasily and asked, “Sister Gu, do you have to go there personally? Why do I feel that it sounds so dangerous?”
“There is indeed a risk of infection, but it shouldn’t be a big problem if you take proper precautions. So far, I have already made the medicine that can prevent infection. I will give you the prescription in a while. When you send someone over tomorrow, I’ll make the ingredients for a mask and gloves for you. Take the people who are not infected and make as many finished products as you can and distribute them to the people. Make them wear them every day, and reduce the number of people going out and gathering,” Gu Qingxue said, she quickly wrote the prescription and sterilized it with disinfectant before handing it to Gong Lingyu.
“I’ll leave Lil’ Han to you to take care of. When you go back, comfort them, and don’t let them worry too much.” Rong Zhan looked at Gong Lingyu and reminded her.
Gong Lingyu was still a little afraid when she looked at Rong Zhan. She raised her eyes to observe Rong Han and stammered, “Cousin, you also have to take care of your health. Han’er and I will wait for you and Sister Gu to come back together.”
