Chapter 869 Inseparable (5)
The chamberlain introduced the two of them into the hall, and before the two could salute, the emperor hurriedly shouted "Excuse the ceremony", acting even more eagerly than them, "Girl Yue, Imperial Physician Wu, what progress have you made?"
Nangong Yue held back the turbulent inner waves and said solemnly: "Back to the emperor, after the analysis of Yue'er and Taiyi Wu, the source of the epidemic is indeed a horse, and it should have come from the Leiji Racecourse at the foot of the nearby Jiugong Mountain. Several of the sick people have been to the Thunder Racecourse, and the first sick horse in the stable came from the Thunder Racecourse."
"Leizhao Racecourse?" The emperor's eyes flashed a hint of urgency, and he decisively ordered, "I immediately send someone to seal that racecourse!"
"Your Majesty, the other people in the hunting palace who have been to the Leiji Racecourse, whether or not they have contracted the epidemic, all need to be quarantined at present. As for the specific days of quarantine, it will be decided after Yue'er has seen the course of everyone's illness. "Nangong Yue said solemnly, "Please the emperor immediately order someone to collect the list of people who have been to Leizhu Racecourse."
"Someone!" The emperor did not dare to neglect, and immediately summoned Lu Huaining, the commander of Jin Yiwei, to investigate.
Jin Yiwei's shot was really resolute, and Lu Huaining came back in just half an hour.
Eunuch Liu personally took the list from Lu Huaining and sent it to the emperor's imperial case with a respectful expression.
The emperor stared at the list, and the more he looked down, the tighter his brows became.
There are quite a lot of people who have been to Leizhuan Racecourse, officials, clans, female relatives, and children of various families... When the emperor saw a series of names in the middle, his head hummed as if it had exploded, and his expression suddenly changed. He stood up and said in a trembling voice, "Why did they go too!?"
The names that shocked the emperors were among them, Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe, Yuan Lingbai, Han Huaijun, Yuan Yuyi, and Jiang Yixi!
Eunuch Liu rushed forward boldly, glanced at it, and was shocked. Xiao Yi and Han Huaijun all have inextricably close relationships with the emperor and the queen. If they were all... Eunuch Liu would not dare to think about it.
The emperor took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "How many of them have also been to Leizhu Racecourse?"
Lu Huaining naturally knew the weight of these people, and he knew that what he was doing now could be said to be thankless, but this matter was of great importance, and it was absolutely impossible to relax.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Huaining bowed in response.
As soon as he heard Xiao Yi's name, Imperial Physician Wu couldn't help but look at Nangong Yue. Seeing her half-downed face, she looked calm, but her hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged slightly. , obviously not as calm as she has shown.
Imperial Doctor Wu couldn't help worrying about her, for fear that she would not be able to accept the blow. The prince of Zhennan is the fiancé of Nangong Yue, and the emperor gave him the marriage. If he has an emergency... Taiyi Wu dare not think about it.
The hall was silent, waiting for the emperor's judgment. In other words, everyone already knew how the emperor would choose. Since ancient times, emperors have to take the overall situation as the top priority. It is already clear at a glance.
I don't know how long it took, the emperor closed his eyes, but finally he hardened his heart and ordered, "Lu Huaining, then isolate all the people on the list first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Huaining replied respectfully, then quickly exited the Hall of Light.
When the emperor said his decision, Nangong Yue's mood calmed down.
"Doctor Wu," in the blink of an eye, the emperor seemed to be ten years older, looking very tired. He rubbed his brows and turned his attention to Imperial Physician Wu, with a difficult tone, "In any case, we must study the right remedy for the epidemic as soon as possible."
