88. Chapter 88 Three people who are not medically skilled 3
Hearing what Imperial Doctor Yin said, Ji Chenxue and Liu Pinting were both in silence. One of them had never been exposed to epidemics and did not understand them at all, while the other had always been busy taking care of these patients, and
No time to distract and think.
At this moment, when the imperial doctors mentioned it, they all had solemn expressions on their faces.
Ji Chenxue immediately made a decision: "I will send someone to investigate right now."
Before Ji Chenxue could explain the matter, she saw Zhuangtou running in from outside with a panic look on his face.
"What happened?" Ji Chenxue frowned and looked at the other party.
Zhuangtou wiped the sweat from his face and said: "A group of officers and soldiers came outside. They said that the epidemic was found in several villages near us, so they came to check. They also said that for everyone's safety, we should be cordoned off immediately.
Zhuangzi."
"Hmph, I, Prince Heng's Mansion, Zhuangzi, who do you think would dare to seal it?" When she heard that someone wanted to seal the village, Ji Chenxue immediately snorted coldly, with a trace of anger appearing on her handsome face.
Doctor Yin hurriedly advised: "Master, please be patient. These people are just following orders. The most urgent task is how to deal with the epidemic in Zhuangzi nearby. I plan to return to Beijing immediately and report this matter to the emperor."
The Emperor has only been on the throne for a few months, and the epidemic is not only related to the people's livelihood, but also to the country. I think the Emperor will not handle it hastily."
"That's the only plan for now." Ji Chenxue nodded, calmed down and said, "I will return to the capital with you."
Imperial Physician Yin then looked at Liu Pinting and said, "I still need to trouble the Imperial Concubine to come with me for this matter. After all, it was the Imperial Concubine who came up with the prescription for treating the plague. The Emperor may have something to say to the Imperial Concubine."
"Okay." Liu Pinting nodded after hearing this. This matter is not a trivial matter. Once the plague spreads, it is likely to cause countless deaths and injuries, and the most important thing is that it will be more difficult to control.
Imperial Physician Yin added: "If the Imperial Concubine doesn't mind, let's set off immediately. If this matter is dealt with as soon as possible, there will be fewer casualties."
Liu Pinting had the same idea.
The group of people worked hard and finally got back to the capital before the city gate closed.
They went back to their homes to bathe and change clothes, and after being infected with mugwort all over their bodies, they entered the palace to see the emperor.
Because it was uncertain whether the emperor would summon Liu Pinting, Liu Pinting was left at the gate of the palace to wait for news.
The guards guarding the palace gate recognized Imperial Physician Yin and Ji Chenxue, and seeing the two of them walking in a hurry, they thought something had happened to one of the nobles in the palace, and let them go without further questioning.
The two of them first went to the imperial study, but were told by the eunuch on duty that the emperor was not handling official business in the imperial study today, but was hosting a banquet in the imperial garden to entertain distinguished guests. All the ministers of the third rank and above in the court were there.
I guess the news that the plague was discovered in the suburbs has not yet reached the emperor, otherwise, the other party would not be so interested.
The emperor was hosting a banquet. I heard that the banquet was about the annexation of another country. I shouldn’t have disturbed him at this time. However, the spread of the epidemic was urgent. Just as the three of them were diverting to the imperial garden, they happened to meet the emperor who was waiting closely.
The great eunuch, Cao Xian, Eunuch Cao.
This Cao Xian used to be the personal attendant of the fourth prince, and he was only in his twenties. After the fourth prince succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the eunuch beside the emperor.
"Why is Prince Ji free to enter the palace today?" Seeing Ji Chenxue, Cao Xian took the initiative to stop and greet him. Then, his eyes fell on the person next to him inadvertently and said: "Hey, Imperial Doctor Yin
Are you there?" Seeing the two people walking in a hurry, he couldn't help but look suspicious and said: "You two are..."
