The Retired Emperor’s expression froze. “The last time smallpox appeared in the capital was when I was five years old. It spread quickly, and very few people survived.

“In my opinion, it’s better to quickly send your wives to a manor to hide.”

“Take a look at the memorial they submitted first.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he handed the memorial to his father.

“In other words, there’s no place that’s completely safe right now.” After the Retired Emperor finished reading it, he seriously pondered for a moment.

“Yes, the northern part of the capital is the most dangerous place right now. Let’s wait quietly for a few days and see if we can control it.”

“Alright, let’s give it seven days. If you can’t control it after seven days, send the masters of the harem out to hide.”

“Alright.” The Emperor replied.

After that, the Retired Emperor took the initiative to stay in the side hall. How could he be at ease waiting at the back for such a crucial matter?

At the same time, the imperial edict was issued, and teams of soldiers and imperial guards were dispatched. Very quickly, the capital was isolated and supervised by districts.

At the same time, Lord Yan and Yan Zhiwu also sent out their subordinates to surround the entire capital.

After Gu Chengrui and Principal Zhou sent letters to their families, they went straight to Northern City. They brought all the doctors to Northern City and began providing free medical treatment to find the source of the infection.

“Damn it!” Sun Wenhao cursed after receiving the news at a manor on a western mountain. “Why can’t the Emperor play his cards according to the rules?”

“Second Master,” someone said, “I heard that the royal guards have left the palace. The defense of the palace must be at its weakest now. Why don’t we send people to barge our way into the palace?

“Won’t it be more intimidating this way?”

“What do you know? The Emperor is not stupid.

“No matter what, he will leave backup to guard him. Moreover, the royal guards did not leave the city. They could rush back quickly.

“At that time, we will become turtles in a jar.”

“So we just wait?”

“Yes. Since he won’t send people out, let’s just wait for the smallpox to enter the palace. I don’t think it will take long.” Sun Wenhao laughed sinisterly.

After Zhou Ying learned that Gu Chengrui would not be back for a while, she had no choice but to send someone to send him clothes, toiletries, masks, gloves, and other items.

After Gu Chengrui received the things, he did not hog the masks and gloves. Instead, he gave one to every doctor, including Principal Zhou.

Principal Zhou looked at the things in his hands and felt complicated because he had only just realized that his abandoned daughter was genuinely outstanding.

The son-in-law he found was not bad either. He did not seem inferior to him in terms of medical skills.

Gu Chengrui didn’t know what he was thinking. He followed the trail of new patients, combined it with the trail of the family of three from before, and finally found an intersection.

In a small tavern.

Gu Chengrui immediately brought his men to look around. When he found out a waiter was sick and asked for leave, he immediately rushed to the waiter’s house.

Only then did he realize that the waiter had lived alone and died at home.

Moreover, he could no longer see his original appearance because of the pustules on his body.

Gu Chengrui quickly looked at the manager at the side and asked, “Is he your original employee or did you hire him recently?”

“A recent recruit, and only about a month.” At this point, the manager seemed to have realized something. He kneeled and said, “Sir, sir, this has nothing to do with me. I really don’t know anything.”

“Take everyone in the tavern away and quarantine them.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he left and asked someone to bring two big bags of lime powder.

He scattered the powder everywhere around the courtyard and wrapped the corpse in a blanket. Then, he found a place to burn it.

Gu Chengrui went into the house personally and did a spot check.

Unfortunately, he did not find anything useful..
