This plague indeed came fiercely. Having missed the best opportunity for prevention and treatment, quite a few people fell ill. Zixuan had no choice but to let Mrs. Qian lead the doctors in the mansion to treat those who showed symptoms together. Those without symptoms, on the other hand, were all eating porridge containing added medicine.
However, the plague spread too widely and there were not enough doctors, so some people's conditions worsened, and deaths had already occurred. Mingyu immediately sent someone back to the capital to request help from the Imperial Hospital. At the same time, he also sealed off several of the main epidemic areas, forbidding the common people from entering or leaving. People like Wenhan and Pengcheng were all sent to various prefectures and counties to oversee and handle the situation. In the mansion, only Zixuan and Mingyu remained in charge.
