Chapter 136 So-called allies are actually less reliable than enemies.
"Didn't the military doctors all wear masks? Didn't they also disinfect themselves properly? How could they still get sick?"
There are already few doctors.
Now even doctors are getting sick?
This is absolutely terrible news.
"It was deliberately transmitted by someone."
Yu Wanwan's eyes widened once again.
"Who? And why would they do such a thing?"
"It was the Prince Consort. He also contracted the disease, but he insisted that the military doctor had not treated him properly and wanted to watch him die. So, while the military doctor was treating him, he pulled off the doctor's mask and sneezed at him."
He figured the army doctor was also infected, so he figured he should just follow the doctor's lead and take whatever medicine the doctor took. That would be the safest way, since the doctor wouldn't harm him.
Yu Wanwan was speechless.
I've seen selfish people before, but I've never seen anyone this selfish.
What merits or abilities does such a person possess to become the emperor's son-in-law?
"How is the military doctor who was infected by him doing?"
"The situation is very bad. He developed a high fever during the night, and when I went to see the general in the morning, I heard that the fever had not subsided."
"And what about the prince consort? Did he really follow the military doctor around, taking whatever medicine the doctor took?"
Peace nodded.
"This was ordered by the general. However, the prince consort's symptoms were much milder than those of the military doctor. He didn't even have a fever. Some of the medicine the military doctor took was to reduce the fever."
But when the prince consort saw the army doctor eating, he followed suit and ate too.
Yu Wanwan wanted to laugh.
This prince consort, you could say he wasn't smart, but he knew to infect the army doctor with the disease, thinking that this would make the doctor treat him more diligently.
You could say he's smart, but doesn't he know that to treat an illness, you have to take the right medicine for the right symptoms?
Despite having different symptoms, they insisted on taking the same medication.
He really wasn't worried about delaying his treatment.
Yu Wanwan felt that Pei Yi probably made him take medicine with the military doctor on purpose.
We're just waiting for him to get sick from eating it.
They no longer need to rack their brains to figure out how to deal with him.
Therefore, sometimes, even your so-called allies are not as reliable as your enemies.
She, who was captured by the enemy, is alright.
Meanwhile, military doctors who treated their own people were maliciously infected with the plague.
Yu Wanwan could only express her concern verbally regarding the situation of the military doctor.
She couldn't help with anything else.
She had already taken out all the medicine from her space.
They were also given the relevant prescriptions.
If none of those methods work, then there's nothing she can do.
At most, I'll pray for the military doctor in my heart.
That evening, another urgent report came from Taiping Town.
While Yu Wanwan was having dinner with Pei Yi, Chen Shu returned.
He looked worried and anxious.
"General, something terrible has happened! More soldiers have been infected."
Yu Wanwan slammed down her chopsticks: "Was this another case of malicious infection?"
Does the prince consort think that harming only one military doctor is not enough, and want to harm more people?
Chen Shu shook his head: "No, the military doctors said it might be because the masks have been worn for too long and the outer layer has become dirty. But the soldiers don't have replacement masks. When they take off their masks to do other things, they have to put them back on, so it's unavoidable that they come into contact with the outside of the mask."
"Currently, more than 30 soldiers have been infected, and five of them have already fainted."
Besides face masks, there is also a shortage of gloves and various medications.
"Just before I arrived, another thirty people had already died of illness..."
"General, if this continues, I'm afraid the entire Taiping Town will be lost."
Yu Wanwan completely lost her appetite and stopped eating.
The protective equipment and medicines she brought over did seem quite a lot at first glance.
But when she was preparing these things, she was only thinking about the people of the capital and Luocheng.
We have now provided support to Tongzhou as well.
If we add another town like Taiping, it really won't be enough.
Moreover, the situation in Taiping Town is completely out of control, the symptoms are more severe, and more medicines and herbs are needed.
They also face the problem of a shortage of doctors and manpower.
If these issues are not resolved, Taiping Town may indeed lose its footing.
Pei Yi frowned: "Send someone to inventory the medicines in the General's Mansion warehouse and the military camp warehouse, and send half of them to Taiping Town first."
In addition, we will look for people in the city who know medicine, have some medical knowledge, or want to learn and are willing to go to Taiping Town to help.
Everyone who goes to Taiping Town to help will be rewarded with 100 jin of rice and two buckets of water.
"besides……"
Pei Yi made the arrangements methodically, and waited for Chen Shu to leave.
He then looked at Yu Wanwan and said, "My lady, I will have someone send 100,000 taels of gold and five boxes of gold and silver jewelry. I humbly request your help to purchase supplies and various medicines from the gods, the more the better. If these funds are not enough, I will find another way to raise more."
One hundred thousand taels of gold!
Yu Wanwan was shocked.
Now the general's mansion's storeroom is also hers.
She didn't see that much gold inside.
But Pei Yi said he would give her 100,000 taels of gold.
Could it be that Pei Yi is hiding some money from her?
Soon, Yu Wanwan realized that this was not Pei Yi's private savings.
Instead, he led his men to ransack the Prince Consort's home in Taiping Town.
The reason given for confiscating the property was that the prince consort had obstructed the fight against the epidemic, causing it to spiral out of control and resulting in significant losses. Therefore, he decided to confiscate the property first and then write a letter back to the capital to explain everything to the emperor.
The prince consort's condition worsened after he took the wrong medicine.
The whole person felt dizzy.
They had no strength to resist.
He could only watch helplessly as others moved all his belongings out of his mansion.
The gold and other gold and silver jewelry were all brought back.
But Yu Wanwan started to get anxious again.
That night, Pei Yi stayed at the General's Mansion to protect her and did not go to Taiping Town.
But urgent reports kept coming in.
"General, something terrible has happened! Ten more people have died of illness."
"General, this is bad! Another fifty people have worsened their symptoms."
"General, two more doctors have fallen ill. We are severely lacking in doctors."
"General, something bad has happened! Doctor Zhang's fever hasn't gone down, and he's having trouble breathing."
"General, something terrible has happened! General Chen has also developed a fever."
Yu Wanwan didn't sleep well that night.
She knew that Dr. Zhang was the same military doctor who had been maliciously infected by the prince consort.
General Chen is Chen Shu.
Even Chen Shu has fallen ill?
Yu Wanwan has become familiar with Chen Shu in the past few days.
Hearing that Chen Shu had also contracted the disease, I couldn't help but feel even more worried.
"General, something bad has happened! There are a large number of Black Bear Army soldiers walking towards the city gate on the other side."
Now Yu Wanwan was completely wide awake.
Even the Black Bear Army has come?
Pei Yi had already gotten up and dressed when he learned that Chen Shu had also contracted the disease.
Hearing Black Bear Army walking towards them again, he pushed open the door and went out.
Yu Wanwan got dressed and followed them out.
"Tall guy, fly back and find out what's going on."
Soon, the gyrfalcon carried the tall man into the sky.
However, the speed has slowed down considerably.
As a result, the takeoff altitude was also lower.
Looking at Gao Lao's increasingly rounded body, Yu Wanwan felt sorry for Xiao Niao.
Half an hour later, the tall man returned.
I brought back bad news.
