Song Si quickly greeted him at the door and was about to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by the capital’s governor.
Although Song Si had lost his official position, he was the grandson-in-law of the Duke of Ding and was still Miss Song’s elder brother, and Miss Song was the Fourth Prince’s life-saving benefactor; on that basis, Song Si would also be restored to his official position soon.
“There’s no need to be formal, Sir Song, please also lead the way, I have urgent business with Miss Song.”
“Your Excellency, please.”
Song Si led the way inside, explaining as she went, “My younger sister has just freshened up after returning, so I didn’t have time to come out to greet Your Excellency, so I hope Your Excellency will forgive me.”
“Miss Song has worked hard in the palace these days, this palace should not have come to disturb you, but it is urgent to prevent a large outbreak of smallpox.”
“It is a blessing for the people of the capital that Your Excellency is so dedicated to the people of the capital.”
The curtain was lifted from inside, and when the Beijing Governor met Song Yin’s eyes, he was subconsciously about to arch his hand, but when his hand moved, he remembered his status and nodded slightly instead.
“Your Excellency, please come in.”
The capital magistrate went in and saw that Song Wangyue’s hair was still half wet, and knew that Song Si had not lied just now.
“Greetings, my lord.”
Song Wangyue saluted.
It was not good enough for the capital’s governor to directly help her, so he gave her a false hand, “You are welcome, Miss Song.”
At the same time, he mentally went over the situation between his first encounter with Song Wangyue and now, and found that he had not offended her in any way, so he felt a little more at ease.
Several people took their seats.
The capital’s governor went straight to the point, “Has the Queen Consort Xian spoken to Miss Song?”
“Yes.”
“Then does the girl have a good solution?”
No smallpox patients had been found in the past few days, and the governor of the capital had not done much about it, only having a quarantine place set up outside the city.
“First of all, Your Excellency needs to gather all the doctors from all the medical schools in the city and have them disinfect all parts of the city, naturally at the expense of the court.”
“Furthermore, people need to be sent from door to door to ask if there are any people with fever, and once they are found, immediately send a doctor there, and any confirmed cases will be quarantined immediately.”
“There is also the medicine, your Excellency needs to have it all ready, I will make a list for you later.”
“Lastly, and most importantly, Your Excellency must have the magistrates pacify the people and not cause any unrest.”
The first and the last two could be done. It was a bit difficult to get the magistrates to go door to door, and with just the magistrates of the capital, they would not be able to knock on all the doors, and there were still some people left to catch Liu Ying.
“Your Excellency can go to the Five Cities Military Department to borrow men, I believe they will not stand by idly.”
The capital’s governor’s eyes lit up.
The Five Cities Military Department managed the security of the capital, and if smallpox broke out, they would not be able to get away with it.
“I’ll find Commander Sun here.”
The governor of the capital came and went in a hurry.
There was no way out, if he didn’t get things done before the Emperor was well, the Emperor would not be able to spare him.
And at that moment the Emperor, who was on the mind of the Governor of the Capital, was carried back to his bedchamber.
He was still unconscious and his mouth and eyes were slanted.
But a little better than when he first had the attack.
A group of eunuch doctors with almost white hair breathed a faint sigh of relief; if the Emperor did not improve again, they would have to die to thank him.
Eunuch Huang did not move an inch from his bedside.
Consort Xiao Xian also sat down at the bedside and looked at the tired-looking Fourth Prince, “You are just sick, don’t tire yourself out again, there is Mother Consort guarding your father, you go back to rest first.”
The Fourth Prince wanted to say that he was fine, but the tired look on his face was so obvious that even the courtier who had just finished taking the Emperor’s pulse could not help but advise, “Your Highness should go back and rest, we have the Emperor here.”
“Alright then, if Father wakes up, Mother Consort will send someone to call me.”
“Good.”
Consort Xiao Xian nodded her head.
The fourth prince left.
Consort Xiao Xianfei looked to the courtyard, “You also take shifts to rest and come over every quarter of an hour to check the Emperor’s pulse.”
“Yes.”
Only Consort Xiao Xianfei and Eunuch Huang, who was guarding the bedside, and a few other palace staff were left in the room.
He was ready to protect her at any time, even if he had to risk his life, he would not let her lay a hand on the emperor.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Yue had told her that the pills were sufficient and that she did not need to risk doing anything else.
……
After seeing off the capital’s governor, in front of Song Si, Song Yin took a handkerchief and helped Song Wan Yue twist all her hair dry.
Song Si had long since seen this and waited slowly with his tea.
“I have a hunch that people with smallpox will explode all at once, and the medicinal herbs that master has stored should not be enough ……”
Said Song Wan Yue, tilting her head to look at Song Yin, “You go find Xiao Qian and ask him to release all those people in your mountain to buy herbs.”
The emperor would remain so and would not wake up to deal with them again, they were not in danger for the time being and those people did not need to hide in the shadows anymore.
“Let big brother go.”
Song Si almost didn’t spit out the mouthful of tea he had just taken into his mouth, he put the tealight back on the table and opened his mouth to ask rhetorically why should he go?
Seeing Song Yin’s gaze falling on Song Wan Yue’s face, he swallowed his words and resigned himself to getting up, “Fine, I’ll go. However, how much do I need to buy?”
“The more the better.”
Song Si walked out.
“There you go. ……”
Song Wan Yue grabbed Song Yin’s hand, “It’s almost time, let’s go see Grand Great Grandfather.”
The Xu family gates were closed tightly, no one was allowed to go out without an urgent matter.
Hearing a knock at the door, the caretaker asked in a loud voice, “Who is it?”
“Me.”
It was Miss Sun!
The watchman was overjoyed and opened the gate, “Miss Sun, you’ve come out of the palace?”
“I’ve come out. Is everyone in the government okay?”
“Yes, they are fine, and so is the old gentleman, who is probably very happy to see you.”
Sure enough, the old man was so happy that he didn’t even look tired.
Even though Song Yin had come over to tell him that Yue’er was fine, he was still worried, there was still the Emperor in the palace in addition to smallpox, and Yue could be in danger at any moment.
“Xu Liang, send someone to the kitchen to say that they should make a table of food and send it over, I haven’t eaten yet, I’m starving.”
Upon hearing that Yue’er hadn’t eaten yet, the old man was distressed.
“Xu Liang you go personally and tell them to make what Yue’er loves to eat.”
“Yes.”
Xu Liang answered and was about to run outside when Song Wan Yue called out to him, “Just let someone else go, you go and keep watch at the courtyard gate.”
Xu Liang knew the importance of the matter, so he quickly went out and sent another person to the kitchen to deliver the message, while he himself went to the courtyard entrance.
Song Wangyue moved a stool and sat next to the old gentleman, telling him about the drugging of the emperor.
The old gentleman listened and broke out in a cold sweat, it was too risky, if there was a slight mistake, not only Yue’er but also concubine Xian and the fourth prince would be killed.
But Yue’er was able to leave the palace, so the matter was already a done deal. He did not say anything to blame, but asked, “How is the Emperor now?”
“He won’t be awake for three or five days, and I want to tell Lord Zhu the news.”
