Yuan Qingling took out rifampicin and flipped through the medicine box. The medicine box could now contain the medicine she wanted to use. Therefore, there were medicines for treating early-stage leprosy and eradicating leprosy bacilli.
Grandma Xi took the medicine, but her attitude seemed to be to comfort Yuan Qingling, and she did not really believe that the medicine could cure her.
After taking the medicine, she whispered: "Princess, my disease must be kept secret. I don't want to be sent to Leprosy Mountain."
"Leprosy Mountain? There is actually a Leprosy Mountain?" Yuan Qing Ling was startled.
Fear gradually appeared in Auntie Xi's eyes, "Yes, because leprosy is contagious and very contagious, anyone who has leprosy must report it to the Huimin Office and then send it to Leprosy Mountain.
, don’t even think about coming back, you can only die over there.”
Yuan Qingling remembered that leprosy was indeed difficult to treat in ancient times and required isolation, but this measure of never coming back was too cruel.
She comforted: "Don't worry, no one knows about this, and you won't be sent to Leprous Mountain."
However, this disease is mainly contagious. How did Grandma Xi get the disease? It is said that the incubation period of this disease is two to five years, but she was in the palace all the time two years ago. How could she come into contact with leprosy patients in the palace?
?
Of course, the incubation period is not necessarily five years, there are also special months, but even for a few months, she has always been in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and rarely contacts outsiders when she goes out, let alone contact with leprosy patients. Besides,
If leprosy patients develop symptoms, don't they have to be sent to Leprosy Mountain? Those who are not sick are not contagious.
"Mommy, think about it, when have you come into contact with lepers?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Aunt Xi was in a state of confusion. She couldn't think of anything. She thought about it over and over again. It was naturally impossible in the palace. After leaving the palace, no matter what she did, there would always be someone by her side. It was impossible to come into contact with lepers.
She shook her head, "I don't know, I probably haven't had any contact with it."
"That's really strange." Yuan Qingling secretly thought to himself, paused, and said: "Don't think about it. The main thing is to rest now. No matter what, the illness is certain now. If you get the illness, let's treat it well."
"
Aunt Xi said: "Okay, I'll ask the Crown Princess to find me a house as soon as possible."
"Let's not talk about this. I'm going out first. You have a good sleep. Don't be afraid. I'll handle anything." Yuan Qingling said softly.
"Prince Princess, get out quickly." Aunt Xi said sadly.
Yuan Qingling knew that she must be scared, but she didn't know much about this era's views on this disease, so she had to go out and ask the imperial doctor.
So, she didn't say much, picked up the medicine box and turned around and went out.
I went out to see the imperial doctor, but naturally I didn't dare to say that Grandma Xi had leprosy. I just said that I had read about Leprosy Mountain and asked the imperial doctor how to treat leprosy.
Doctor Cao's face changed slightly when he heard the question about leprosy, "If you have leprosy, you have to be sent to Leprosy Mountain immediately. There is no way to cure it. The treatment with prescriptions is limited and it cannot stop the progression of the disease."
"Can't it be cured? Wouldn't that mean waiting to die?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"What can be done? This is a serious disease." Dr. Cao sighed.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Do those who have leprosy have to report to the Huimin Office?"
"Yes, it must be reported, otherwise it will be bad if it causes a large-scale infection. This disease is serious." Doctor Cao said.
Yuan Qingling nodded, "That's it."
Doctor Cao asked: "Princess, in which book did you read about leprosy? Is there any magic formula in it?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "I forgot which book. It didn't mention the prescription. I just suddenly saw this leprosy. I will ask you when I remember it. I read it a long time ago and I can't remember it."
After saying that, she left.
When he went out, he saw Tang Yang coming in. Tang Yang said: "The Yuan family has been notified. Mrs. Yuan has brought people to the Yamen. Do you want to go and see the excitement?"
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "I won't read anymore. There's nothing interesting to see. The Yuan family will take care of this matter. Mr. Tang, follow me to the study. I have something to tell you."
"Yes!" Tang Yang had rarely seen Yuan Qingling so serious, so he knew something must have happened, so he followed Yuan Qingling without asking.
After entering the study, Yuan Qingling told Tang Yang bluntly, "I suspect that Grandma Xi has leprosy."
Tang Yang was Tang Yang after all. After hearing this shocking news, he could still remain calm and composed, "The Crown Princess has a way to cure her, right?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Well, there is a way. Illness is not the problem. The problem is where did Grandma Xi get the disease from. You contact Eunuch Chang privately, don't alarm the Supreme Emperor, and don't alarm anyone in the palace. Let him recall the past five years.
Since then, have you ever come into contact with suspected lepers in Qiankun Hall? I need Eunuch Chang to think carefully and not miss a single suspected leper. Grandma Xi’s mind is so confused now that she can’t think of anything.”
Tang Yang was shocked, "The Crown Princess suspected that someone in the palace had infected Aunt Xi?"
"Not necessarily, but you need to do an investigation. The early symptoms of this disease are difficult to detect, and the incubation period is very long. It only takes two to five years for the disease to appear. Therefore, you must investigate carefully." Yuan Qingling said in a deep voice.
Tang Yang said in shock: "Oh my god, if it is infected from the palace, then this will be a big deal."
"It's a big deal, so let's tell the public first, and conduct a secret investigation to see if any of the people who have entered the palace in the past five years have been sent to Leprosy Mountain. You first go to the Huimin Office to check the information.
Whoever was sent to Leprous Mountain has ever entered the palace." Yuan Qing Ling said.
Tang Yang ordered, "I understand, my subordinates will handle it immediately."
When Yu Wenhao came back in the evening, Yuan Qingling told him about the matter.
Yu Wenhao's first reaction was: "This matter must be kept secret and no one can know about it."
"Don't worry, except for Tang Yang, I didn't tell anyone else. I know that those who get leprosy here have to be sent to the mountains. We can't let Aunt Xi be sent away," Yuan Qing said.
Yu Wenhao asked: "Can you cure this disease?"
"Okay!" Yuan Qingling said in one breath.
Yu Wenhao was surprised, "Can it really be cured? This disease is not simple."
"able!"
Yu Wenhao looked at her with admiration in his eyes, "Tell me, what kind of treasure did I marry?"
Yuan Qingling, however, frowned and said, "I am still worried about being treasured. If Auntie Xi gets the disease in the palace, it means that there are leprosy patients in the palace. Auntie Xi is serving the Supreme Emperor."
Yu Wenhao said: "It may not have been infected in the palace, right?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "We have been together for a long time. The incubation period is two to five years before the disease will appear. She has just started to suffer from the disease now. Fortunately, she caught a cold and made me pay attention. Otherwise, when the disease worsens, many people in the palace will suffer."
People can get infected."
Only then did Yu Wenhao realize the seriousness of the matter. He thought that if it was discovered too late and Grandma Xi kept taking care of the children, wouldn't all the children be infected?
And if Lao Yuan doesn't know how to cure this disease, then the dim sum people's lives will be ruined.
Suddenly something moved in his mind, "Does this disease have to be dormant for two years?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "That's not necessarily the case. It can occur within a few months. People with poor physical constitution may have other triggers that cause the disease to develop earlier."
"Mommy has been injured before, so her physical condition must be poor." Yu Wenhao said solemnly.
