C71 (1/2)
Mo Ranran swept his eyes across the imperial physicians present and quickly spoke: ”Half of you stay here and help them reduce the fever. The other half, go and check the water and food in the camp to see what's the problem.”
The army doctors looked at each other, and then separated into two groups. One group followed Military Surgeon Wang to find the source of the plague, while the other group followed Mo Ranran to stay in the camp to cool the soldiers down, not allowing them to continue burning.
By the time the crown prince came over, Mo Ranran and the military doctors had already cooled down half of the people in the tent, but more and more of them had been sent over.
”Why is it so serious?” The Crown Prince's face turned ashen as he looked at the soldiers who were lying in a tent.
He had just taken over the military camp, how could there be a plague? This was practically going against him!
The number of people who had been infected with the plague was increasing. With the current situation, they could not go out to battle tonight!
”Military Surgeon Wang has already gone to investigate.” Mo Ranran was trying to cool a soldier down when he heard the crown prince's words.
”Damn it!” Fury flashed through the crown prince's eyes, his entire being was like a raging lion.
Mo Ranran looked at the crown prince, his big eyes blinking, he pointed at the soldiers that had just retreated from the fire and asked: ”Are you free? ”Come and move this man to the tent on the left.”
”Are you ordering me?” When the Crown Prince heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
”What are you doing, move quickly!” If you don't want to move, then get out. Don't stand in our way here. ” Mo Ranran was extremely busy, and directly gobbled down the crown prince.
The crown prince's face was gloomy, his gaze was like a blade that shot straight at Mo Ranran, he did not even seem to notice anything, not even giving the crown prince a glance.
The Crown Prince was silent for a moment. Then, he took a big step forward and helped the soldier to walk to the left side of the tent.
In front of so many people, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't just run away on the spot. He was the crown prince, the general appointed by the royal father. If he were to leave now, what would the soldiers think of him?
”Your Highness, let us do it.” The deputy general by the crown prince's side saw that the crown prince actually did it himself and took a few steps forward, wanting to take the person from him.
”No need, go carry the others.” The Crown Prince quietly refused the assistant general.
At this time, this was the best time to win the hearts of the people, so how could he be willing to let it go?
”Your Highness, right now you are the backbone of the military camp. What if you get infected by the plague? Let your subordinate take over.” The deputy general did not move aside and continued to stand in front of the crown prince.
When the Crown Prince heard this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. If not for the presence of someone, he might have thrown the person on his back out on the spot.
Mo Ranran looked up at the crown prince and coincidentally saw the fear in the latter's eyes and sneered, ”They are only infected by the plague, as long as they don't touch their blood they won't be infected.”
Hearing Mo Ranran's sneer, the crown prince's eyes flashed, ”If you help Miss Mo, I'm fine.”
After the crown prince finished speaking, he supported the man and left the tent. Mo Ranran was not even afraid, as the crown prince, how could he not be afraid of a woman?
The deputy general looked at the crown prince and walked straight to Mo Ranran. Before he could say anything, Mo Ranran pointed to a small soldier beside him and said, ”Move this too.”
Hearing this, the deputy general obediently brought the person out.
Two hours later, the number of people who delivered the medicine gradually decreased. Mo Ranran and the army doctors finally sighed a breath of relief.
Just then, the Military Surgeon Wang returned.
When the Crown Prince saw that the Military Surgeon Wang had returned, he did not wait for him to stop and asked, ”What did you find out?”
”Your Highness, I found a problem in a bucket beside the well in the military camp.” Military Surgeon Wang had run all the way back, and after taking a few breaths, he finally finished.
The crown prince frowned slightly, his voice tinged with anger. ”Bring me to take a look.”
Mo Ranran looked at the crown prince who was walking towards the well and followed him.
They followed Military Surgeon Wang to the well, where a bucket of water was placed beside the well.
The Military Surgeon Wang pointed to a bucket, and said slowly: ”Your Highness, this is the bucket, someone had dripped the blood of the man who was infected with the plague into the bucket, the soldiers who were infected with the plague had only gotten infected because they drank water.”
Hearing Military Surgeon Wang's words, Mo Ranran could not help but look at the bucket. Who was it that did something to the well?
”Find out who's been here and touched this bucket.” Hearing this, the Crown Prince had a look of respect in his eyes.
The deputy general had to leave to investigate.
Knowing where the plague originated from, the Crown Prince ordered his men to burn the water bucket and had the Military Surgeon Wang continue to investigate it to see if there were any who had escaped.
An hour later, the deputy general walked over with a person in his arms. ”Your Highness, last night he was the only one who came to this well.”
When Mo Ranran saw that person, his pupils couldn't help but crease. Wasn't that the little soldier that caught the plague together with Mo Feiye?
Since the time she met him with Military Surgeon Wang, she had not seen him again, but not for a day or two. Even the back of his hand had started to rot.
Because she could smell the strong rotting smell coming off him, he wouldn't be able to live much longer.
”Military Surgeon Wang, when did this person get infected by the plague? Why didn't anyone tell this palace? ” The Crown Prince was able to tell at a glance that the young officer was infected with the plague.
