Previously on The Return of the Princess
Yueji, Yi Mei and Yi Cao finally returned to continue their journey. But in the midst of not long ago they left the Capital there was a problem that hindered the steps of the three sisters.
In a border village between Taiyang and Hanxing countries, Tianshi is experiencing a deadly plague that keeps his village isolated from the outside world. This made Yueji, Yi Mei and Yi Cao take the initiative to help them. But, will they succeed? Stay Tune here yuk. . .
The fence that ran through the middle of the road they passed and began to move their feet towards Tianshi village which turned out to be quite far away.
The Tianshi Village Entrance
In silence they noticed the situation in the village. Many residents are seen lying unkempt on the ground with alarming conditions. Old, adults, teenagers, and children can not be separated from the outbreak.
“What happened to them?” asked Yueji who still could not believe what she saw at that time
“I also don't know” replied Yi Mei who was surprised
“They look very tormented” Yi Cao continued
“Kak Yi Mei, how about your diagnosis?” ask Yueji
“I. .I don't know for sure. But it looks like they have a disease that makes the skin look red spots”
“What's the cause?” Yueji
“Most skin diseases are caused by Bacteria or Viruses that enter through injured or moderately irritated skin. Symptoms of red rash on the skin will appear four to six days later and when the wound has formed usually it is very contagious especially in a state of unclean air or in a state of the immune system low” details
“What is the percentage of transmission?” still Yueji said
“Depends on how much immunity the human body is and also the surrounding conditions. If viewed from the situation there, maybe more than fifty percent of the percentage of transmission” he explained
“Quite high turned out. Then, how to handle it?”
“The most effective way is to use turmeric powder as an external medicine to treat the infection due to bacteria. But, I don't know if that's enough to prevent transmission because the conditions there look too chaotic”
“We better try it first. Most importantly there is still a little solution to treat it”
“Good. In that case, we should look for some turmeric plants in Yi Mei”
“It seems that on the way here, I saw some wild turmeric plants in the forest. We'd better go back there and get Yi Cao's” immediately
“Alright, come”
“Wait” sidelines Yueji
“What's Yueji?” Yi Mei
“It is better that I stay on guard here and observe the surrounding” Yueji suggested
“You don't intend to quietly go in there yourself right?” yi Mei's voice looked suspicious
“Of course not. I do not want to fall down before I managed to help them there” he replied firmly
“Alright, if that's what you want. Me and Yi Cao will go get that turmeric and come back here” soon
“Be careful onjalan”
The Mianyang Military Camp
Meanwhile, at the Mianyang military camp, Zhao Lantian, who was sitting in his place, read a stack of reports about security conditions at various borders. How surprised he was when he saw there was a letter tucked between the reports that read Yueji's name in it. He was even more surprised when he read the contents and immediately shouted to call Zhiling to meet him.
“Zhiling. . .Zhiling” called him loudly
“Chairman (respect) what is it that you seem riled up?”
“The letter. .” remembers
“This is a letter from Miss Yueji informing them that they have left from the Capital”
“Guard who received the letter and delivered it here about three days ago”
“Three days ago? Why are you telling me now?” raise his tone
“Sorry chairman. But when the guards deliver it, you only order to put it on the table so that it is mixed with other reports. These few days you look busy in the Southern border area, so I didn't have time to say”
“You're right, I did it. It seemed, they had crossed the eastern border and reached Hanxing country. But, isn't Tianshi village being hit by a plague, how is the condition there now?”
“No latest report Chairman. Only, Master Liu, the Regional Head of Tianshi village has returned to the Capital and reported to the Emperor himself that the conditions there are in recovery and are better than before”
“Thank God then”
Taiyang Palace
Inside the palace were several ministers and Chancellors facing the Emperor who was sitting on his throne to welcome the return of Minister Tao Yangli and Yingjun back from his business from neighboring countries.
Finally the Father and Son entered the palace and saluted the Emperor. Chancellor Luo Jinxi who was in the front row looked at them cynically.
“Honor Us Your Highness” Father and Son who saluted together
“Rise up, don't be too shy. You must be tired after going through a long trip” gave the order
“Thank you Your Majesty” got up together
“What good news will you guys tell us?” ask the Emperor gently
“Negotiations with neighboring countries regarding the injection of requested funds are going well Your Majesty. We have brought five hundred thousand taels of gold in the crate that they gave directly to hand over to Istas”
“Thank God then, I'm glad to hear that. You guys are really great at negotiating, it's not wrong that I appoint you as a special Minister who handles the financial matters of the country” praises him with pride which makes Chancellor Luo Jinxi even more unhappy
“Hamba is just trying to run the task as best as possible His Majesty”
“Is that? And you're Yingjun?”
“Sincerely servant, Your Majesty”
“I heard that a few days ago you were seriously injured, but I told you to come with your father to travel far. How are you doing now?”
“Thank you for asking about the state of the servant, Your Majesty. The state of servant is already much better than before”
“As my gratitude and as well as my apology, I want to give you a gift”
“Thank you, Your Majesty. But, I don't think it's necessary. It is the duty of the servant as a good citizen to carry out the duty well given directly by the palace whatever the condition”
“You're right, but I still want to give you a gift because of your dedication”
“But, Your Honor. .”
“Do not reject it or you will hurt my pride in front of the forcing ministers” with a smile
“Please Your Majesty, I do not mean like that” bowed in regret
“Already. Chancellor Luo, read my decree!” he told the Chancellor
“Good, Your Majesty” immediately did his job of taking out a scroll containing the Emperor's decree and began to read it out loud
“In his high dedication to Taiyang Palace and his success in carrying out the task of negotiating with neighboring countries, therefore the Palace will give a gift to Minister tao Yangli in the form of two gold embroidered carpets from Persia”
“Waah, Gold carpet from Persia? Isn't that very expensive? They're really lucky huh?” the boisterous voices of the ministers whispered to each other after hearing the gifts to be given to Tao Yangli
