Chapter 457 Development of the situation
Just because the royal family is not in a position to take action doesn't mean that Situ Yidong can't do it. The rats in the gutter are now like grasshoppers in autumn - they can't jump for a few more days.
"I've sent people to keep an eye on them, don't worry." Situ Yidong reassured Chu Zeming, "The most important thing now is the epidemic, we have to control it as soon as possible."
If this continues, not only will Meixiang and Mr. Dou not be able to bear it physically, but the panic of the people will become more and more serious. If it spreads to other prefectures in Zhezhou, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this moment, the movement at the door attracted the attention of the three people in the room. A little head popped out from the door and looked timidly at Meixiang who was sitting at the table.
Oh, Meixiang recognized it as the fifth little gray wolf almost at first sight.
It was also here that she discovered that of the six who had gone in and out together, five had fallen, and only the little five, who had been shuttling between Meizhuang and the back mountain all day, was alive and well and not affected at all.
Could it be?
Meixiang's eyes lit up, a light flashed through her heart, and she looked at Xiaowu at the door, as excited as if she had seen a national treasure.
Staring at the little gray wolf slowly approaching her, Meixiang confirmed that it was really not infected and was as healthy as usual.
"Xiao San, go and ask Mr. Dou to come over." Meixiang didn't care about anything else and hurriedly shouted to Xiao San who was standing at the door.
Next, what Situ Yidong and Chu Zeming saw was that Meixiang, Mr. Dou, and several imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau, headed by Doctor Chen, surrounded the fifth-ranked little gray wolf with red eyes and full of excitement, looking left and right, and touching him up and down carefully several times.
If Situ Yidong hadn't been suppressing it with his full aura, the little gray wolf would have run away long ago.
"It is confirmed that he is not infected and his pulse is normal," said Mr. Dou.
“There are no unusual wounds on the body,” Dr. Chen added.
"His breathing is steady, his emotions are stable, and there are no signs of madness," the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital interrupted.
......
Could it be? Everyone looked at Mei Xiang, who was the first to discover this situation.
"I guess Xiaowu must have eaten something accidentally, and either his body produced antibodies, or that thing has an inhibitory effect on toxins." Meixiang gently stroked the little gray wolf's head, looking at it with gentle eyes.
Normally, this little five is the most mischievous among the six little ones, and does not play by the rules. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, this temper saved its life and also brought a glimmer of hope to others.
The next morning, Meixiang, led by Little Gray Wolf and accompanied by Mr. Dou, Situ Yidong, Fat Tiger and Little Fat, walked out of the gate of Meizhuang.
Outside the house, a few more temporary residences were added, and Meixiang's heart sank again and again.
"Princess, when will the antidote be available? My child is dying. Please, save him."
Suddenly a woman rushed in front of Meixiang. Fortunately, Situ Yidong noticed that something was wrong and stopped the three little ones in time, otherwise there would be another chaos.
Once one person takes the lead, the second person will join in, and the people who were originally surrounding the group will gradually gather around.
The constant screams of pain from their loved ones day and night have brought their spirits to the brink of collapse.
It was a rare sight to see the famous Meixiang in person, and at this moment they could no longer bear it, and they all knelt down and began to beg for medicine.
Is this forcing someone to do something against their will? A flash of hostility flashed across Situ Yidong's eyes.
Mei Xiang gently tugged at his sleeve, and then said to everyone, "I understand your feelings very well. I and all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are doing our best. Please give us some more time."
"Then may I ask Princess, how long will it take?" A male voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
"Oh, am I a god?" Mei Xiang, who was always good-tempered, couldn't help but sneer at this moment. "We are also human beings. We can't count with our fingers. I can only tell you that we will do our best to help you."
As soon as Mei Xiang finished speaking, Situ Yidong shouted, "Get out of the way! We are going into the mountains to collect herbs!"
Going into the mountains to collect herbs? At this time?
Everyone looked up at the east, where the sun was still hiding in the clouds, refusing to come out. They just couldn't believe it in their hearts. Would these three people take the opportunity to hide?
The few of them looked at each other, secretly followed Meixiang and her group, and watched them confirm that they had entered the depths of the back mountain. Then they turned around and went down the mountain to continue guarding their family members who were temporarily imprisoned in Meizhuang.
"Humph, how much do they not trust us? They even followed us secretly. If we really want to hide, they can..." Situ Yidun sneered.
"Okay, okay, let's quickly look for some herbs. Xiaowu, come on, tell me what you ate when you were feeling unwell these past few days?"
Meixiang smiled and calmed him down, then immediately plunged into the next round of busy work.
She has never been a person who would fall into internal friction because of a few words from others, because there are still many things to do in her life, and she has neither the time nor the energy to waste on meaningless people and things.
As long as you live your life with a clear conscience, that's enough!
That day, led by the little gray wolf, they walked around half of the mountain. Meixiang and Mr. Dou picked up a lot of herbs that the little gray wolf had bitten.
Sure enough, they found that there were about ten herbs among them that they had never thought were related to the antidote.
Looking at the herbs on the ground, Meixiang began to worry again. There were more than a dozen kinds of herbs. Which one was effective for this epidemic? What was the dosage? What would happen if she took them?
......
For her, everything is unknown, and with a dozen combinations, the result will be a huge number.
As for the infected people, apart from the three team members and the small animals, no one was willing to come and test the medicine for everyone, so...
A bold idea flashed through Meixiang's mind, and then she became more determined.
As the sun was setting, when Meixiang was feeding the little gray wolf medicine, she put her delicate arm under the little gray wolf's sharp teeth while no one was paying attention.
A burst of intense pain came, and blood flowed down. The fishy and sweet smell caused the small animals to roar. Only then did Situ Yidong discover Meixiang's injured arm.
"What are you doing?" Situ Yidong came over quickly, supported Meixiang's body, and shouted angrily.
"Oh, no, it's okay. Take me back to the house immediately. If I start to act crazy, tie me to the bed. No matter what happens, don't knock me out. Do you understand?"
Mr. Dou, who heard the noise, also rushed over. Seeing Meixiang's actions, he was full of disapproval, but more of it was deep admiration.
How many people in the world can test the drug on themselves?
