Chapter 81 Ye Youyue’s operation!
The defender has his own principles. No matter how big the matter is, he will make it clear before taking the risk of opening the door.
If you open the door without explaining anything clearly, it would be risky.
After all, no one knows if someone is setting an ambush outside the city at night. If a spy breaks down the city gate, it would be a disaster.
Although Guo Youzhi was anxious, he still explained the matter clearly.
"General, according to information from my Ministry of Justice, someone has buried a jar outside the city, which contains rotten smallpox flesh."
"Just now, someone was about to leave the city to dig it out and spread it, but he was arrested by the Ministry of Justice."
"But I don't know if he has any accomplices. We need to open the city gates so we can check."
The guard hesitated . He knew what smallpox was. If it spread in the capital, it would be a catastrophe.
But if you go there without this thing, you will be charged with opening the city gate without permission.
After much thought, he finally decided to take a gamble, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
"Master Guo, you'd better tell the truth. If there is something fishy going on outside the city, this matter will not end today."
Guo Youzhi nodded seriously, he knew what the defender would face if he opened the city gate.
"If there is something fishy going on outside the city, General, you can impeach me to Your Majesty."
"Of course, this is the news I received. I really don't know if it is true."
"So the decision is up to the general. I can wait until tomorrow to investigate."
"If this news is true, wouldn't it be more reassuring if we confirmed it earlier?"
Upon hearing this, the guard walked to the city gate and waved his hand: "Open the city gate!"
"Team one, follow Lord Guo out of the city. Once you confirm the item, remember not to open it without permission. Seal off the scene immediately."
"Send someone back to report, and then deliver the news to the palace for the Crown Prince to decide!"
The gate slowly opened, and a small group of soldiers followed Guo Youzhi out of the city and headed straight for the place the butler mentioned.
"It's nearby. Please dig carefully and don't break it, otherwise it will be a disaster."
So the officers and soldiers began to dig carefully.
Soon, the watch received news: "Sir, here!"
Immediately, everyone put down what they were holding and ran towards the source of the sound.
A jar sealed with wax appeared in front of everyone.
"Don't move, go back and inform your general immediately, send the news to the East Palace, and wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision!"
Guo Youzhi didn't know what to do with this thing. If it was damaged, the consequences would be disastrous.
The guard did not hesitate. He thought that he would not take any responsibility if he got the thing. After all, the consequences of this thing were known to everyone.
Ye Youyue had already fallen asleep, but was still woken up by the guards.
"Miss Youyue, the situation is urgent. I have something important to report to His Highness."
Ye Youyue frowned, wondering what important matter could happen in the middle of the night.
"You tell me, I will report to His Highness!"
Then he told Ye Youyue the news brought by the city gate guards. Ye Youyue was still a little sleepy.
When I heard the news, I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Highness, there is no need to report this matter. I am proficient in medicine and I know how to deal with it!"
"Well, take me to check it out. Your Highness is not able to move around easily, so please don't disturb him!"
The guards were in a dilemma for a moment. This matter was too serious. If something went wrong, all those who knew about it would be implicated.
"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
Hearing this, the guards did not dare to delay and took Ye Youyue straight out of the city.
When Ye Youyue arrived here, she saw Guo Youzhi here, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although he had saved his mother before, it is still unclear whether Guo Youzhi had any compassion for the matter.
"Miss Youyue, you are here? Great, let's see how to deal with this thing?"
Youyue took a look at the sealed jar, not knowing what was inside, and she absolutely could not open it rashly.
"First, order people to dig two large pits on one side and fill them with quicklime water with a higher concentration!"
“Then sink it completely to the bottom, and after making sure it won’t float up, break it at the bottom of the lime water.”
"If it really contains rotten smallpox flesh, then this thing is ruined!"
"The other one is also useful."
Guo Youzhi hesitated.
"Miss Youyue, does this method really work? If it doesn't work, and you rashly break the tube, do you know what you will face?"
After all, Ye Youyue saved her mother, so this responsibility is still very heavy.
Ye Youyue nodded seriously and said, "It's absolutely true, there's no doubt about it, let's do it!"
Guo Youzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Listen to the girl, let's do it!"
So some people were on guard, some were digging big pits, and some were looking for quicklime and water!
"Miss Youyue, how is His Highness?"
While watching the officers and soldiers working, he asked about Xiao Yan's situation.
"Your Highness's condition has stabilized. There is basically nothing serious going on. You can attend court in the next few days!"
Guo Youzhi heaved a sigh of relief, as it was obvious that Hu Zhenghe could no longer wait for the news.
"That's great. There are still many things in the court waiting for Your Highness to preside over. If Your Highness falls, many things will come to a standstill."
Ye Youyue didn't know if Guo Youzhi was trying to test her, so she nodded silently and said, "Master Guo, don't worry. I'll see if she's back to normal in the next few days."
Guo Youzhi was actually trying to find out the true situation of Xiao Yan. After all, the situation in the court was still unclear and he had not expressed his attitude.
There are many things I don't know where to start.
After a busy period, the sailors were ready according to what Ye Youyue had said.
Ye Youyue took out some sheep gut gloves and face towels from the medicine box she carried with her and distributed them to everyone.
It’s only because Xiao Yan was not present, otherwise he would have been shocked. Isn’t this the ancient version of masks and medical gloves ?
"Put on your gloves and face mask, and cover your mouth and nose tightly!"
After saying this, Ye Youyue, fully armed, cautiously came to the jar.
"All of you step back twenty steps. If I accidentally break it, just shoot me!"
"Also, don't get close to me easily, just pour kerosene on me and burn my body!"
These soldiers were all stunned. What kind of request was this? They all looked at Guo Youzhi, waiting for him to make the decision!
"Miss, you are so righteous. Please accept Guo's greeting and listen to your orders!"
Guo Youzhi naturally understood what Ye Youyue meant. If this thing really spread, there would probably be corpses everywhere.
After everyone had gone away, Ye Youyue carefully began to dig the jar with a small shovel.
After a long time, he finally dug it out in a sweat.
“Phew, done!”
Ye Youyue also breathed a sigh of relief. This thing was very heavy and she couldn't move it by herself.
"Come and help me, carefully soak it in the pool!"
