Chapter 213 Helian Ziyu's Methods
"Xue Cheng, how is Yubao doing?" After coming back, Ji Chilian first saw Xue Cheng standing outside Shen Yubao's door.
Xue Cheng looked embarrassed and knelt on one knee to reply: "Reporting to the governor, it has been confirmed that the young master has indeed contracted the plague..."
"I'll go in and take a look." Yi Qianhuan walked towards the door resolutely.
Xue Cheng couldn't even stop her: "Madam, don't be impulsive! The plague is highly contagious. If you come into direct contact with Young Master Shen, you will most likely be infected with the plague!"
Yi Qianhuan and Ji Chilian seemed not to hear Xue Cheng's words and strode into Shen Yubao's room.
Xue Cheng sighed helplessly upon seeing this scene, and had to resign himself to chasing after them, giving the two of them thickened veils and asking them to wear them to minimize infection.
The room was filled with a bitter smell of medicine, and Yi Qianhuan saw Shen Yubao lying on the bed at a glance.
At this time, Shen Yubao was only wearing a light white undershirt. He was almost buried in the soft bedding. His face was as pale as paper, like a fragile glass doll.
Yi Qianhuan sat beside Shen Yubao's bed, gently stroking his face which was red from the high fever: "Yubao has never left the Governor's Mansion, how could he suddenly be infected with the plague?"
Precisely because this plague was so severe and had a very high mortality rate, she and the entire Governor's Mansion were extremely cautious to prevent any possibility of the plague spreading to the two children.
Especially Ji Chilian, because he was in charge of dealing with the plague, in order to avoid bringing the plague into the Governor's Mansion, he had not set foot in the Governor's Mansion for half a month.
Unexpectedly, even though they were so careful, they were still unable to guard against it.
"I also find this strange, but I did find the source of the plague." Xue Cheng said as he rolled up Shen Yubao's sleeves.
A red rash suddenly appeared on Shen Yubao's snow-white arm.
The rash had begun to fester, and light pus and blood were seeping out.
"I think the young master got sick because his arm was scratched by something that had come into contact with a plague patient. However, logically speaking, we should not have such a thing in our Governor's Mansion..." Xue Cheng said.
Yi Qianhuan's whole body trembled, and a guess immediately emerged in her mind.
"Why isn't the Crown Prince's wife speaking?" Ji Chilian frowned, and was very sensitive to the changes in Yi Qianhuan's mood.
"The last time Yubao and I went out together, we met Helian Ziyu. He proposed to help Mobao get rid of the resentment in his body, but was stopped by Yubao and I. Yubao was pushed by the people at that time. It seemed that Yubao's arm was injured... and about a few days ago, Yubao also suddenly felt weak..." The more Yi Qianhuan recalled, the more he felt a chill in his heart.
Xue Cheng suddenly realized: "Before the plague appears, the patients will first experience general weakness, and their bodies will be soft and uncontrollable."
"But the plague patients I have come into contact with so far often develop fever the next day after feeling general weakness. Why did Yubao delay for so long?" Ji Chilian raised his doubts.
"Because the person who attacked Yubao at that time only used the tip of a needle to inject a little bit of the plague into Yubao's body. It takes more time for this little bit of plague to spread in Yubao's body. Especially since we protected Yubao very well, Yubao had no chance to come into contact with the plague before, which led to the outbreak of the plague. Therefore, if Yubao had not been infected without our knowledge, he should not have suffered this torture."
Having said this, Yi Qianhuan's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife, and he felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
"It's all my fault. I spend every day with Yubao and I didn't even notice anything wrong with his body!"
In Yi Qianhuan's eyes, Yubao is as important as Mobao.
Now, one of her most beloved children was suffering from the plague, and the other was in a coma. Yi Qianhuan's heart felt as if it was crushed and she felt a sharp pain.
"Now that things have come to this, there is no use regretting. Madam Crown Prince, I remember that you currently need the magic water to temporarily relieve the patients' conditions so that you will have enough time to cure them." Ji Chilian looked at Yi Qianhuan.
Yi Qianhuan forced herself to cheer up. She asked Xue Cheng to boil the medicine according to the prescription she gave, and then looked at Ji Chilian: "Not bad! My prescription is not perfect yet. Although it can cure the plague, it takes a long time to take effect. Only by using the magic water to prevent the plague from getting worse in the patient's body, I will have enough time to cure the patient."
"But now the supply of magic water is in short supply, and the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion has been deliberately preventing the Governor's Mansion from getting the magic water..." Ji Chilian said this, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But it doesn't matter. As long as Yubao needs it, this Governor will bring the magic water."
Seeing the sharp look in Ji Chilian's eyes, Yi Qianhuan naturally knew that as long as Ji Chilian took action, it would not be difficult to get the magic water.
"Governor, things have come to this point. If we take action against Helian Ziyu, we will definitely be pushed to the forefront, which will be disadvantageous to us. Since Helian Ziyu said that he relied on the power of the national god and used his own blood to cure the plague. Then, what he can do, Mo Bao will only do better than him." Yi Qianhuan said firmly.
Even if Mobao is in a coma now, she can be sure that if Mobao is awake now and knows that Yubao is suffering from the plague and needs his blood to cure it, Mobao will definitely accept it.
"In that case, this governor and the Crown Prince's wife will go together to get the blood." Ji Chilian looked at Shen Yubao who was lying on the bed gasping for breath, and went to see Yi Mobao with Yi Qianhuan.
Half an hour later, Yi Qianhuan fed the medicine mixed with Yi Mobao's blood to Shen Yubao.
Fortunately, Shen Yubao had just contracted the plague and had no problem swallowing, so he drank the medicine quickly.
The tormented expression gradually calmed down. Shen Yubao's cheeks were still red, but he was able to close his eyes and fall asleep peacefully.
Yi Qianhuan and Ji Chilian waited for a while together.
But half an hour later, the rash on Shen Yubao's arm not only did not stop festering, but even expanded outward to about the size of a longan.
Yi Qianhuan simply mixed Yi Mobao's blood with clean water and gave it directly to Shen Yubao to drink.
Another half hour passed, and Yi Qianhuan's phoenix eyes were completely shrouded in gloom: "Helian Ziyu is lying, the blood of the reincarnated national god cannot cure the plague at all."
Shen Yubao's condition did improve, but this was because he took medicine to treat the plague.
The rash on Shen Yubao's body was still festering and spreading, and his high fever continued. He did not experience the immediate improvement that other patients experienced after taking the magic water.
"Helian Ziyu is really a strategist." Ji Chilian's concerned eyes have always stayed on Shen Yubao, "He made everyone believe that the blood of the reincarnated national god is the most important medicine in the magic water. Not only did he become the savior, he even dragged the unconscious Yi Mobao into the water and stepped on him. Moreover, this time Yubao suddenly contracted the plague, which should be inseparable from Helian Ziyu."
"He really deserves to die..." Yi Qianhuan murmured these words, the resentment in his heart reaching its peak at this moment.
She had never wanted to kill someone so badly.
