Chapter 1005 How can this thing be dropped!

   Immediately, Ning Wenxian sat beside the bed and wanted to hold Su Chengyu's hand, but Su Chengyu quickly retracted his hand into the quilt, preventing Ning Wenxian from holding it.

   "Your Highness..." Ning Wenxian's expression was a little hurt.

  Su Chengyu said: "Gong Juechen is looking for a way to cure the plague. Maybe it can be cured. My hand is broken and pus is flowing. You'd better not touch it."

  Ning Wenxian immediately shook her head: "Your Highness, Wenxian is not afraid."

   "I'm afraid!" Su Chengyu said loudly. "I'm afraid that before I die from the plague, you will die from the plague!"

   "Your Highness..."

   "Be obedient."

   "Yes, Your Highness." Involuntarily, Ning Wenxian smiled, and the smile was full of sweetness, as if they were talking about love to travel in the mountains and waters, not in this terrifying plague city at all.

  Su Chengyu watched Ning Wenxian smile sweetly and happily, and swore in her heart: If I can return to the imperial capital alive, I will definitely treat this person better.

  …

  Because of the company of Ning Wenxian, Su Chengyu was in a much better mood than before, even if the plague was still tormenting him, he wanted to end his life and die immediately.

  …

  On this day, Qin Er entered Nanmicheng, and brought in a lot of bluegrass roots, with fifty sacks.

   Xiao Changyi left five sacks in the palace, and Xiao Changyi asked Meng Zhuqing to send them to the pharmacy room.

   Meng Zhuqing took the order and went out to the palace, intending to deliver the forty-five sacks of bluegrass roots at the entrance of the palace to the pharmacy room, but he had just left the palace when he happened to bump into Tuoba Yao who came back from outside.

   "The county lord." Meng Zhuqing saluted respectfully at first, and then couldn't help but say, "This city is too dangerous, the county lord is better to stay in the palace and not walk around."

  Tuobayao didn't say anything, just glanced at Meng Zhuqing coldly, without stopping, and continued the palace.

   But Meng Zhuqing saw sharply that the sachet on Tuobayao's neck was missing. The sachet contained various anti-epidemic medicines. He immediately asked in horror, "Master, where is your sachet?"

  Tuobayao looked down subconsciously, and saw that there was no sachet on his neck, he was stunned at first, and then said lightly: "I don't know when it fell off."

   Meng Zhuqing was dying. How can this thing fall!

   Although he was very angry, Meng Zhuqing didn't scold or show it, but hurriedly took off the sachet on his neck and gave it to Tuobayao.

   "The county lord will use this one from the last commander. When the last commander comes back after finishing his work, he will find someone to make a new one for the commander."

   Tuobayao didn't answer.

   But Meng Zhuqing didn't care whether he committed the following crime, so he forced it to Tuobayao.

   didn't talk to Tuobayao anymore, Meng Zhuqing pushed the sachet to Tuobayao, and took the bluegrass root to the Medicinal Restaurant.

  In the medicinal food hall, people who contracted the plague died every day, and when Meng Zhuqing went, two more died.

   Meng Zhuqing couldn't do anything except have the corpse carried out for cremation.

   "Zhuzhu, you came just in time, come here quickly and help give everyone some ice." As soon as Gong Juechen saw Meng Zhuqing, he asked Meng Zhuqing to help give ice to the patients who contracted the plague.

   Once the plague is infected, the first symptom is high fever. Although the blue grass root can help to slow down a little, it is only a little. I am afraid that these people will be fooled by the high heat, so they can only use ice to cool the body of these people.

   And the ice in the ice cellar in Nan Mirage City was not enough. Fortunately, Quiet knew that saltpeter was used to make ice, so that the ice supply was sufficient.
