Chapter 87 Meat porridge made for you by myself

Xie Chen made a decision immediately.

Hang iron ropes from the front and rear decks of several ships to anchor them in slow-flowing sections of the river.

Xie Chen wants to take Xiang Ying to count the number of people infected with the plague on the following ships.

Xiangying thought for a while and went to find the seventh princess first.

"Sister Seven, I need you to help me count the number of people infected. You can do this job quickly and carefully. There is no one more suitable than you on the ship, but you are facing a group of people infected with the plague. If you don't want to, I can..."

Before Xiangying could finish his words, the seventh princess immediately expressed her position: "I do!"

She stood up with eager eyes.

"Of course I am willing to help Big Sister, and I would like to thank Big Sister for not thinking that I am a useless person and taking care of me along the way."

Xiang Ying nodded: "Okay, then come with me."

Because the Seventh Princess and Xiang Qianqian had close contact with the old concubine, Xiangying isolated them for observation last night.

Fortunately, neither of them had any symptoms.

Xiangying took the Seventh Princess to the bow of the ship to find Jie Chen. At this time, the deck between the two ships was almost completed.

Jie Chen glanced at the Seventh Princess with his calm, dark eyes. He seemed to have guessed Xiang Ying's decision, and he didn't even say a word of questioning.

Several people, including soldiers and military doctors, went to the following ships to check the situation.

Ke Jianjun was unfortunately infected with the plague.

He locked himself in the house and refused to open the door.

He also shouted in a rough voice: "I will die in the house if I die. You all should get out and don't come to cause trouble!"

Xiangying spoke before Xie Chen: "There is no need to die! This is a minor illness, I can cure it."

Ke Jianjun cursed: "I'm not Jie Chen, I won't listen to the nonsense of a witch like you!"

Xiangying waved her hand and motioned to Scarface behind her: "Kick the door, stop nagging him, and go in and hold him down later."

Jie Chen nodded: "Do as she says."

Dao Scarface kicked open the wooden door with a loud bang, and the soldiers rushed in and pushed the astonished Supervisor Ke to the ground.

Xiangying walked over, but Ke Jianjun was still not convinced: "Get out, you don't want to live anymore?"

"Of course we want to live, and we can't let you die." Xiangying's red lips pursed in a calm arc.

Her words stunned Ke Jianjun.

Before he could react, Xiangying's slender fingertips pressed on his arm.

After a brief judgment, she asked the seventh princess to record it.

"He is not serious. Send him to the treatment room."

The soldiers simply said they were offended and carried Ke Jianjun away in sacks.

"Hey! Xiangying! Are you taking revenge on me? You think I'm a wild boar! You actually put a sack on me."

Xiangying said expressionlessly: "This is good for everyone."

Skinny Monkey and Scarface skillfully took out diluted alcohol, poured it on the sack, and then asked the soldiers to take it to the treatment room on the first ship.

A total of twenty-one people were infected with the plague on these ships.

Xiangying followed the old method and divided the cabins of each ship into rooms for three people.

Just when she was about to give instructions, the seventh princess handed over a list of names at the right time.

"Sister, I have already arranged a room for three people. I have also marked all those who have been in contact with patients infected with the plague."

Xiangying looked at the two pages in his hand.

Her phoenix eyes revealed an expression of admiration: "I knew I was right to find you. You are quite talented at summarizing and counting people."

The seventh princess was so embarrassed by her praise.

Since she was a child, she has liked to sort the people in the palace and divide the work and jurisdiction.

In the past, she was always laughed at by her mother-in-law, saying that other princesses were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she preferred to play house.

Unexpectedly, such an unappreciated little trick could come in handy.

The seventh princess smiled sincerely: "It's good if I can help big sister."

Xiangying returned to the first ship to inject those who had the disease.

Xie Chen was responsible for staying as a center of gravity, giving orders to the soldiers, and also to prevent some prisoners from getting nervous and rioting.

Xiangying gave injections to the drugged exiled prisoners in the treatment room.

After each person was sent away, the seventh princess stood at the door and put a mark behind that person's name.

When they were busy, there were already more than thirty sick prisoners in the bilge compartment.

Fortunately, the entire bilge compartment is large, otherwise we would be crowded together.

Shangguan Taifei, who had just regained consciousness, crawled to the door and slapped the door.

"Give me water, I want to drink water..." came the cold voice of the guard soldier: "Xiang Ying said that water is only delivered once every two hours. It's not time yet, just wait!"

Concubine Shangguan's mouth was dry and she felt like there was fire burning in her body.

When she heard that there was no water to drink, she became furious, scratching at the door and crying.

"She wants our lives!"

All they knew was that if they drank the water given by Xiangying, they would not only fall into coma, but they would also have two more holes in their arms when they came back.

The surrounding muscles ached.

Not only that, the soldiers would also use pungent water to scrub the inner walls of the boat.

There must be something wrong with this water!

"Stop making trouble, it's useless to make trouble," Miss Zheng Er, who was huddled in the corner with a pale face. She was also one of the sick people, said, "I heard the fifth princess shouting before. It turns out that anyone who is infected will be Burn to death.”

"The wife and young lady of the Yushitai family were carried away like this and never came back."

Miss Zheng Er said, covering her face and crying bitterly: "The lady was obviously still angry, but she was burned like this. How cruel do you think she must be?"

The person next to him sighed: "This is the plague. If they can't cure us, they will definitely find a way to kill us. Maybe the medicine we drink every day is chronic poison."

Shangguan Taifei was completely frightened.

She shook her head in horror: "No, no, I can't die here!"

Her son King Xuan said that he would definitely come to save her.

How could she die on the ship?

Princess Shangguan gritted her teeth, moved away from the door, and lowered her voice.

"Are we just going to sit there and wait for death? Xiangying is really cruel. She treats us blindly. If she is cured, she is in the wrong. If she is not cured, then we deserve to die!"

The rest of the people looked at the thick sores on their bodies and nodded: "Yes, we must do something."

Concubine Shangguan's sinister eyes flashed with thought.

"You listen to me, like this..." She and the others lowered their voices and conspired.

Miss Zheng Er reminded her: "That Concubine Liu has a very good relationship with Captain Scar, be careful of her snitching."

Concubine Shangguan looked back at Concubine Liu who was unconscious in the corner with her sinister eyes.

Seeing that there was no threat from her, Princess Shangguan said: "She is a fool. What can she understand? You follow my arrangements..."

Xiangying was busy until the evening before she had time to think of eating.

She has been mixing herbs in the treatment room, writing a recipe and medication list as she goes.

She asked the seventh princess to deliver the meals to the children.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Xiangying turned around and saw Jianchen standing at the door holding a bowl of hot porridge.

"Eat something." He watched Xiangying rush around on several ships all day long without taking any rest.

Xiangying glanced at the simple meat porridge and shook her head: "I'm not hungry."

She had already thought about making herself some scallion noodles and some fried eggs.

Jie Chen pursed his lips: "Eat it, I'll cook it for you in a clean pot, it's not dirty."

He thought she didn't want to use the pot used by the prisoners.

Xiangying was startled and asked with great interest: "Did you do it yourself?"

A look of uneasiness flashed across Xie Chen's face: "Just do it casually."

Xiangying smiled with red lips: "Then I have to try it."

She took it and was about to take a bite when Jie Chen looked at her seriously with thin eyes, waiting for her comment.

At this moment, the thumping footsteps of Scarface came and appeared at the door.

"Princess, it's bad, there are two more people on the third ship who are in bad condition."

Xiangying immediately put down the bowl: "I'll go take a look."

She left in a hurry.

Jie Chen's face turned dark as he looked at the steaming bowl of meat porridge.

Scarface was still standing at the door: "Supervisor, would you like to go and have a look together?"

When Xie Chen passed by him with a cold face, he suddenly said: "Do you have to tell me now?"

Jie Chen's thin eyes were piercing as he strode forward.

Scarface scratched the back of his head innocently.

Did he say the wrong thing again? If you find anything wrong, you should report it to Xiangying. Isn't this Jie Chen's own order?

I am traveling today and tomorrow, so tomorrow’s update may be a little later, so please check back later! What~
