I have to say that the eunuch in front of the imperial family is very calm.
Li Yue was calm in the face of danger, and in just half a day, he completed a series of Yue Wangshu's instructions one by one, including the isolation that needed to be done, and the disinfection that needed to be done. After that, Li Yue wore a mask and came to the pharmacy to report to her.
Yue Wangshu nodded happily, "It's not a big problem in Huangzhuang. Jingui has already taken the medicine." - But there was no tetracycline in this era, so she could only copy the prescription according to "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" in the hope that it would be effective.
Li Yue couldn't help but ask: "My dear, what kind of plague is Jingui infected with?"
Plague is just a general term for severe infectious diseases, so Li Yue can only guess that it is not smallpox. Everyone in the imperial court must be vaccinated with cowpox. Naturally, there is no risk of contracting smallpox. It is also probably not malaria. Malaria can be cured by Cinchona, so the master cannot be infected.
So worried.
Yue Wangshu sighed: "Cholera."
Li Yue couldn't help but look solemn, "If you get this disease, you're probably half dead, even if you have enough medicine..." Li Yue didn't continue.
Yue Wangshu couldn't bear it. In the modern world, infectious diseases like cholera are almost extinct. Even if there are occasional outbreaks, there are effective drugs and methods, and the cure rate is very high.
But in this era, when the plague is raging, one third relies on human power and the other seven depends on destiny.
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but think of the villages and towns under Rose Ridge. How many people could survive under the raging cholera?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, "Li Yue, go find me a prison uniform, prepare medicine, alcohol, and masks, and go to the nearby town early tomorrow morning to have a look!"
Li Yue couldn't help but widen his eyes. Chun Shuyuan was just going to "take a look", she was clearly going to risk her life! Without saying a word, Li Yue knelt on the ground and begged: "Now that the plague is rampant, how can the master commit the crime himself?"
Is it dangerous? Besides, there are no doctors in Rose Town. At worst, the master can send someone to send some medicine!"
Although medical supplies were important, Yue Wangshu was thinking about the small-scale skills of her life halo. If she went there personally, she could save a few more people.
What's more, someone has to publicize and teach epidemic prevention strategies, otherwise once cholera spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
"When it comes to treating cholera, my medical skills are probably not as good as those of the doctors in town." Although Yue Wangshu has studied Chinese medicine for several years, he also knows that he is just a third-rate Chinese doctor who follows the script.
"But!" Yue Wangshu sighed, "What I am really worried about is that cholera is very easy to spread. We need to teach everyone how to use masks and alcohol as soon as possible, so as to curb the spread of the plague!"
After hearing this, Li Yue hurriedly said: "My master understands this intention. But my identity...I am afraid that it will only get twice the result with half the result. I feel that I should report it to the Holy One immediately! The anti-epidemic policy is issued by the imperial edict, even if there are people alive."
If there is any doubt, no one dares to disobey it.”
Yue Wangshu was awakened by this statement. Yes, even if she went to the villages and towns to take charge of epidemic prevention, even if the people in the villages and towns were willing to listen to her words, how many villages and towns could she save by herself? It is still unknown how many villages and towns the cholera caused.
What happened, and how far it has spread.
In a pandemic like this, what is most needed is a strong centralized authority to take charge of the overall situation.
"You are right! I will write a letter and report it to the emperor right away!" Yue Wangshu went straight to the study without saying a word.
Yue Wangshu, a third-rate doctor, could detect that the plague was raging. How could there be so many famous doctors in the capital not aware of it?
In fact, as early as ten months ago, the suspected plague had already appeared in northern Beijing, and then wandered to the Rose Ridge area in western Beijing. Therefore, the memorial announcing the cholera epidemic was submitted to His Majesty the Emperor seven days ago.
Emperor Yan Zheng had also dispatched imperial doctors and Beijing-based medical practitioners to the north of Beijing six days ago and sealed off the nine gates to prevent cholera from raging into the capital.
But in the end, he still failed to prevent it. When Yue Wangshu's secret letter was delivered to Yan Qing Palace, it was widely reported that there were people infected with cholera in the capital and even the palace!
"What? A plague has also appeared in the Rose Ridge Imperial Mansion?!" Yan Zheng's face suddenly turned green. Due to the spread of the plague in the capital, Yan Zheng did not dare to pick people back to the palace at this time. He originally thought that the Imperial Mansion would be far away from people, at least
It is safer than the imperial palace in Beijing, but it is unexpected...
Yan Zheng quickly read through the various anti-epidemic strategies written by Yue Wangshu himself. Although he was confused, he did not doubt these strategies. He calmed down and said, "Hurry to Rose Ridge and take Yue back to the palace."
!”
Now that there is a plague in both places, it is better to bring her back. After all, there are still many imperial doctors in the palace.
The nine gates are sealed, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter or exit, but if it is the eunuch of the imperial capital holding an edict, that is a different matter.
On the other end, after Yue Wangshu sent the letter, he started busy grabbing medicine, masks, alcohol and other supplies, and sent them to surrounding villages and towns for support.
Naturally, she could not leave the Rose Ridge Imperial Manor. Li Yue had been guarding her all day long, as if he was afraid that she would put herself in danger.
Yue Wangshu was not a stubborn person. When she knew that there was not much difference whether she went or not, she stayed at the Imperial Manor with peace of mind and waited for the news.
It wasn't until Zhang Degui, the eunuch of the imperial capital, came to the palace with an edict that Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Zhang Degui had the same surname as Zhang Ji, the chief eunuch, he recognized his godfather and became a seventh-rank eunuch. This time, it was Jun Yue Wangshu who returned to the palace.
If it were someone else, not to mention just a capital eunuch, even if the emperor came in person, she would never be able to return to the palace.
But now is not the time to worry about matters between men and women or to worry about freedom.
Her epidemic prevention strategy required imperial power to implement, but she could not be coy. Yue Wangshu didn't even change his clothes. He only brought some masks and a few personal maids, then boarded the carriage and followed Zhang Degui all the way through the Nine Gates and into the palace.
After entering the palace, he could not go directly to see the emperor. After all, there was an epidemic in Rose Ridge. Yue Wangshu thought for a moment and then went to Le'an Palace, his former residence. He changed his clothes in the side hall of Le'an Palace and disinfected himself.
Only when the people around me behaved in the same way did I dare to see His Majesty the Emperor.
I hurried to Yan Qing Hall, the red sun was already setting in the west, and I saw Concubine Xiang coming down from the chariot in tears.
When Yue Wangshu returned to the palace this time, Emperor Yan Zheng naturally did not tell anyone in advance, and he had no time to talk to his concubine.
Concubine Xiang was startled, but she couldn't help but think that Chun Shuyuan was quite skilled in medicine, so she stumbled forward. Yue Wangshu didn't even have time to salute, so he hurriedly supported the crumbling Concubine Xiang.
"What's wrong with your Majesty?" Yue Wangshu's heart skipped a beat. Concubine Xiang has always been steady. Is it possible that she lost her composure like this...
Concubine Xiang immediately cried and said: "I suddenly had a fever this morning. I just had vomiting and diarrhea. I'm afraid that she has contracted the plague too!"
Yue Wangshu's eyes trembled, and he thought about how he could save the princess's life before using his ultimate move.
