Chapter 221: 救人

[Saving lives]

This Empress is the former Prime Minister Lu’s first daughter, and I haven’t heard that Prime Minister Lu has sent her to study medicine ah?

Although Ge Tian had some doubts in his heart, he didn’t think much about it.

After the others heard Ge Lao say so, they no longer hesitated and hurriedly put them on.

After all, the place they were going to was the worst part of the plague.

If they could reduce their risk of infection.

Wearing the mask, it was kind of uncomfortable but it was considered as nothing big. 

That Imperial Envoy Liu saw that Elder Ge had said so, so he didn’t say anything more at that moment.

This Elder Ge was highly respected, and since he said so, it meant that there was some truth to it.

Although his heart was rejected, in the end, he still put it on.

However, he was just as puzzled as Elder Ge, why did this Empress even know about this kind of weird stuff?

After so many days, he found that this Empress was indeed a bit different from ordinary women.

At that moment, he looked at Lu Yunluo a few more times.

The crowd continued to set off.

When they arrived at the city gates of Tai Ling County, the gates of Tai Ling County were tightly closed, and from a long distance, they could see the roaring fire and rolling thick smoke inside.

Vaguely, miserable screams and panicked yell could be heard from inside.

But the guards stationed outside the city gates were as if they didn’t hear it, letting the inside cry and calling out but they remained unconcerned (did nothing).

Lu Yunluo’s face sank, intuiting that something big had happened inside.

Imperial Envoy Liu’s face was also very ugly.

Without waiting for Lu Yunluo’s command, he hurriedly went over to ask what had happened inside.

Originally, those guards were not prepared to take care of Imperial Envoy Liu.

However, after seeing the official document issued by Imperial Envoy Liu, they hurriedly knelt down in fear.

However, these guards were on the night shift.

They also didn’t really know what was going on inside.

It was only the matter of County Magistrate Cao leaving the city that was brought up.

Imperial Minister Liu sank his face.

Based on his many years of experience as an official, this ‘Cao Zhi Da’ was afraid that he had done something hurtful and ran away early.

Hearing the incessant cries inside, he said in a deep voice angrily, “Why don’t you open the city gates?”

“But, Cao County Magistrate commanded not to open the door without his order, moreover, inside the plague is now rampant. This, if you open the city gate….” The words of the guards were not yet finished, they were kicked down to the ground by Liu imperial envoy ruthlessly.

What time is it now?

There is still Cao county magistrate!

If they don’t open the door and let them in to save people, he doesn’t know how many people will die.

“Open the city gates!” Liu Imperial Censor shouted angrily.

The city gates finally opened slowly.

The miserable screams, cries, and all kinds of noisy noises that were originally blocked by the gates instantly felt like they had been turned up dozens of times, and were transmitted into the ears of the crowd, causing a buzzing sensation.

Before even walking through the city gates, one could feel the overwhelming and extremely tragic human sorrow inside.

At this point of time, the sky had already dawned.

Rushing flames and rolling smoke rose from everywhere in the city.

The crimson flames dyed half of the city red.

On the ground, the wounded can be seen everywhere.

There were those who were burnt, those who were badly mangled or mutilated, and those who were lying on the ground, on the verge of death and waiting to die.

There were also those who had escaped but whose families had all perished in the fire.

Inside the ear, everywhere is the hoarse sound of cries.

Despair, cries, pain.

They filled the entire Tai Ling City with blood-stained. 

Without Lu Yunluo’s command, Ge Lao hurriedly arranged for the medical officials underneath to start treating the wounded.

But raising her eyes, she did not see the first batch of medical officer envoys led by Prince Chen.

In Lu Yunluo’s heart suddenly had a very ‘unknown premonition’.

She casually grabbed a person from the crowd and asked.

Only then did she learn that there had been a huge explosion with tremendous noise at the manure pit in the southern part of the city, and there, the place where the wounded were the most seriously injured.

Most of the medical officer envoys were over there to provide first aid to the injured.

“Imperial Envoy Liu, I’ll leave this place to you. However, it will rain heavily in a while, so order the guards to set up all the tents we brought over, settle all these wounded who have nowhere else to go in the tents, and distribute some tents to the south side of the city to set them up, besides that the speed must be fast. If there aren’t enough tents, go to the county government and look for them, as well as the gloves and masks and medicinal herbs we brought with us, arrange for them to be sent to the south of the city immediately.

“Elder Ge, I’m afraid that the casualties on the south side of the city are going to be even worse, so send some more medical officer envoys over here to accompany me.”

“Yin Shuang, get the medicine box for me!”

Lu Yunluo hurriedly rushed to the direction of the southern part of the city with the medical officer envoys after she finished her instructions.

The loud noise at the place of the cesspool must have produced methane gas that exploded when it encountered an ignition source.

Before they even arrived at the center of the explosion, they could smell the bad smell floating in mid-air.

On the ground, there were suspicious objects everywhere.

But right now, they can’t care so much.

The further in you go, the more shocking what you see.

Everywhere were black charred corpses and dismembered bones.

Beside the ears were the incessant moans of pain.

This day was a complete dark and extremely tragic day for the people of Tai Ling County.

The scene was chaotic, with injured and sick people, medical officials who kept running back and forth, and people who had been searching and rescuing at the ruins.

Tang Lao was the first batch of medical officials sent by the court.

At the moment, he was really busy and anxious.

Seeing the bustling scene, an unreasonably beautiful woman came over, followed by a maid.

That clothes are neat as new, a look is to avoid the city of this calamity of the lucky people.

He was thinking of letting someone take this delicately pretty young lady away.

Save them from being unable to help and causing additional trouble here.

But just when he was about to hand over, not knowing when, he saw a pair of scissors appear in that woman’s hand. 

Immediately after, with a “tearing” sound, one of the wide sleeves was already torn off by her, revealing the narrow white moon sleeve inside.

Very soon, both sleeves were dealt.

Even the disturbing hemline of her lower body was also torn away by her, similarly revealing the narrow legged trousers inside.

The jade hairpin was put down, and the beautifully tended hair bun instantly poured down, along with the long hair that was scattered around her ears before, all of which was coiled into a pile and fixed on her head.

Afterwards, she took the medicine box from the maid’s hand and squatted down to start treating the patient.

That skilful movement and clean and nimble way of wrapping up something makes Tang Lao’s eyes brighten up. 

He couldn’t help but look at the woman a few more times.

To have such a technique at such a young age, it should not require much effort in your spare time.

It was naturally good to have another person who could heal the sick and save lives.

Tang Lao looked at his two wide sleeves.

Indeed, it was very much in the way.

It was very much affecting the speed of their mission of rescuing people. 

“Go to that woman and borrow those scissors.”

Tang Lao was not an old-fashioned and inflexible person.

It did not feel that there would be anything wrong or improper with this.

In this situation right now, being able to save people quickly was more important than anything else.

And Imperial Envoy Liu’s side was quick to gather people to start setting up the tent.

The Empress said that it would rain heavily later.

He did not have the slightest doubt.

The weather forecast posted on the wall of the Cold Palace he had long heard was the handiwork of this Empress.

When he thought about the drought two months ago, the note that accurately predicted the exact hour of the rainfall flew down in the courtroom, a scene he still remembered with great fondness.

In the palace, the person who could accurately predict the weather conditions, except for this Niang Niang, he really could not think of the second person.
