Chapter 109 It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others
"She wishes you and the Emperor would have a quarrel."
"Even if you don't consider yourself, you should think about the prince."
"If you lose your position as queen, the prince will be in danger."
The queen broke down and cried after hearing what Matron Liu said. If it wasn't for her son, why would she swallow her anger? She didn't want this crappy queen.
"For now, let's think about how to get the prince back safely."
"Should we issue an imperial decree to Su, asking her to accompany and protect the Crown Prince?"
"She was able to control smallpox last time, maybe she can control malaria this time."
"She has been instructed by Divine Doctor Mo, and her medical skills are superior to those of the Imperial Physician. Even if she can't control the malaria, at least she can ensure the Crown Prince's safety."
"What's more, General Lu is also at the front line. He is her husband. Since she has the ability, she should go and help."
The Queen was silent for a long time, then sighed helplessly: "If it weren't for what happened last time, I could have asked her to help."
"But the Crown Prince was so confused last time. How can I speak now?"
"I know what she wants, but I can't do anything about it."
"I'm not that thick-skinned to ask her to help me in such a desperate situation."
"My child is a child, and other people's daughters are treasures too."
Nanny Liu was silent for a long time. The Queen was a kind-hearted person, so she could never defeat Concubine Jing.
There are some things that the queen cannot do, so let her, a servant, do it for her.
Nanny Liu helped the Queen take a nap and then quietly went to the General's Mansion.
"Madam Liu, does the Queen want to see me about something?" Zhou was curious.
"It's the old servant who wants to see the young lady."
Zhou frowned. Is Madam Liu looking for Jiaojiao?
"I wonder what Madam Liu wants to talk to the young lady about?"
"Reports have come in from the front lines that a plague has broken out there. The general is in the infected area and is in a dangerous situation."
"Now the Emperor has sent the Crown Prince to control the plague, and the Empress has fallen ill in a state of panic."
"Young Madam is a skilled doctor. I would like to ask her to accompany the Crown Prince and protect him."
"If the young lady can cure malaria, the general will also benefit."
"Please help me, Madam Lu."
When Zhou heard that a plague had broken out on the front line, he was immediately frightened out of his wits.
Qian'er hasn't sent any letters home for several months. Could it be that something happened and he is deliberately hiding it?
"This...this depends on what Jiaojiao means."
"This matter is dangerous. I can't make the decision for her."
Madam Liu bowed slightly and said, "I will go and ask the young lady for help right away."
Su Yujiao frowned when she learned that a plague had broken out on the front line.
What’s going on? The plague has been too frequent in the past two years.
"Madam, do you know what the plague is?"
"I heard it was malaria, and Chen Yunniang deliberately spread it."
When Su Yujiao heard the three words "Chen Yunniang", she stood up suddenly with an extremely ugly expression.
Why is she everywhere?
What a troublemaker!
"Why would she deliberately spread the plague?"
"I don't know the details, but I overheard a few words when the Crown Prince and the Queen were talking."
"It seems that Chen Yunniang wanted to spread smallpox to the Jin soldiers, but it backfired and turned into malaria."
"The result was that the Jin Kingdom was fine, but our soldiers were infected with malaria first. The Jin Kingdom took the opportunity to attack, and Longhai Pass was breached."
The more Su Yujiao listened, the uglier her expression became. Chen Yunniang had really caused a huge disaster this time.
Wouldn’t Lu Ziqian be heartbroken?
Will he use this military achievement to save Chen Yunniang's life?
The more Su Yujiao thought about it, the more pessimistic she became. She felt that someone with no bottom line like Lu Ziqian would definitely do this.
Could it be that this time he was making wedding dresses for Chen Yunniang again?
What should I do then, brother?
Su Yujiao sighed helplessly. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. You should figure out a way yourself.
Lu Ziqian can't be relied upon at all!
Fortunately, it was malaria this time. If it was any other plague, she really would have no way to deal with it.
However, she would not easily agree to Liu Ma's request, otherwise she would appear to be worthless.
Therefore, the condition she gave to Madam Liu was that if the prince or the queen could find a way to rescue her elder brother, she would accompany them to protect the prince.
Otherwise, she can only take care of the children at home!
After all, she had just given birth, and it would not sound good if news got out that she was forcing a postpartum woman to go to the battlefield.
Madam Liu kowtowed solemnly: "I will find a way."
The next day, I don’t know what method the Crown Prince and the Queen used, but the entire Imperial Hospital took leave.
The emperor was extremely angry. It was obvious that the imperial doctors did not want to take the risk of going to the epidemic area and were pretending to be sick.
But this time the actions of the Imperial Medical Service were unprecedentedly consistent, and the Emperor could not kill all the doctors just to vent his anger.
Doctors are scarce talents at all times and in all places, both in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad!
Especially those who can enter the Imperial Medical Bureau, they are all the best in medicine, and killing one is one less.
The emperor had no choice but to compromise and even condescend to visit Doctor Zhou in person.
After all, he is the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and his words carry a lot of weight in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
If he is willing to take the lead in going to the epidemic area, other doctors will follow.
Imperial Physician Zhou lay in bed, complaining sickly. It was not that he was unwilling to go, but that his medical skills were not good enough and he had no confidence that he could control the plague.
"If Your Majesty can ask Divine Doctor Mo to come out of seclusion, I will go there even if I have to crawl despite my illness."
The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard. Doctor Mo came and went without a trace, so where could he go to see him?
If he could have invited Dr. Mo, and still used these old things, he would have been sent to work as a laborer in the mines long ago.
"If Your Majesty cannot invite Divine Doctor Mo, but can invite Divine Doctor Mo's apprentice, I am willing to go as well."
"If I can learn even a little bit of medicine from Master Su, I will die without regrets."
"Which Divine Doctor Su? How come I've never heard of him?"
Speaking of this, Doctor Zhou is no longer sleepy... he is no longer sick!
The old man sat up excitedly, his eyes gleaming, "Your Majesty, doesn't you know that General Lu's wife is Dr. Mo's apprentice?"
"Dr. Su is a skilled doctor with profound knowledge and expertise, and is especially skilled at making medicine. The gunpowder she presented last night was something she accidentally found during the process of making medicine."
The emperor was stunned: "Are you talking about the Su family?"
"Is she the disciple of Dr. Mo?"
"Exactly!"
"In fact, during the last smallpox epidemic, Dr. Su disguised herself as a man and followed a spontaneously organized team of doctors into the epidemic area."
"He even risked his life to live directly in the quarantine village and cured countless patients."
"It's just that Divine Doctor Su is a low-key person, and as a woman, she doesn't want to reveal her name, so she has been buried here."
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send people to Yushugou in Qicheng to investigate."
"Divine Doctor Su is very experienced in treating plagues. If she can come along, it will give me and the others peace of mind."
The emperor frowned: "The Su family played an indispensable role in the last plague, why didn't anyone report it?"
Doctor Zhou replied respectfully, "This was Divine Doctor Su's request. Like the old Divine Doctor who wished to remain anonymous, she didn't want to cause any trouble."
"She is a woman after all. She is out and about all day long. I am afraid of getting herself into trouble."
"Divine Doctor Su begged the Crown Prince for a long time. Although the Crown Prince was embarrassed, he finally decided to respect her choice."
The emperor nodded. If it was Su's request, then it was understandable.
If the prince deliberately concealed the talent and wanted to keep it for his own use, he would be violating his taboo.
