When Jiang Youshu walked into the Queen Mother's Palace, several concubines and the princes and princesses were playing here.
Seeing Jiang Youshu walking in, a concubine was startled and hurriedly reached out to hug the child.
"Physician Jiang, have you been to Guanghua Temple recently?" she asked, looking wary.
Jiang Youshu stopped at the door and saluted.
"Don't worry, Madam, I didn't go to Guanghua Temple." He said, "I'm not very skilled at it, Miss Jun doesn't need it."
Then the concubine felt relieved and motioned for him to come in.
The Queen Mother, who was leaning on the pillow, frowned.
"The imperial doctor despises her for not being good at her skills, so how did she treat the acne?" she asked.
Jiang Youshu saluted and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, took out a pulse pillow and diagnosed the Queen Mother's pulse.
"I don't know," he replied.
The concubine on the side smiled.
"Why doesn't the imperial doctor know?" she said.
Jiang Youshu lowered his eyes.
"Guanghua Temple is heavily guarded. Lu Qianhu, the Jinyi Guard, is personally guarding it. The situation inside is not exposed." He said, "We only deliver medicinal materials according to her instructions every day, and we are not allowed to go into the temple."
The Queen Mother smiled.
"Why hide such a great merit?" she said, waving her hands to the eunuch beside her, "Go and ask Your Majesty, the Ai family wants to know how well Miss Jun, the acne sufferer, has been cured?
"
The eunuch took the order and left, while Jiang Youshu gently talked to the queen mother about the things that needed to be paid attention to in daily life, and then took the little princess and the little prince to look at and ask questions.
The Queen Mother and her concubines were very happy.
"Since taking the imperial doctor's medicine, the little princess no longer cries at night." said the concubine.
"The medical skills of Dr. Jiang are absolutely reassuring." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Jiang Youshu smiled and said he didn't dare.
Just as he was joking, the eunuch came back. He looked a little uneasy and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" the Queen Mother asked with a frown.
"Back to your Majesty, Your Majesty said that Guanghua Temple has been cured from the time it was admitted to the present..." the eunuch bowed and said, his voice getting smaller and smaller.
"How much?" The Queen Mother raised her voice.
The eunuch shivered.
"Seven." He replied loudly.
There was silence in the main hall, and everyone present looked stunned.
Seven?
With a crisp sound, the Queen Mother dropped the tea cup in front of her to the ground.
"Nonsense!" She raised her eyebrows and shouted, raising her hand to overturn several cases.
The people in the main hall knelt down and trembled on the ground.
"Queen Mother, calm down," they said tremblingly.
Jiang Youshu also knelt aside, a smile flashed on his downcast face.
This anger cannot be quelled.
"The Ai family is so disappointed!" the Queen Mother shouted with raised eyebrows.
……………………………………………..
"Guanghua Temple has admitted 130 people so far."
"Ten days have passed so far, as many as 30 people have died, and seven people have been confirmed to have been cured."
"What do you mean it can be cured? Does this mean it can be cured?"
"In Guanghua Temple, ghosts cry and wolves howl, and corpses are burned almost constantly in the backyard. It's like purgatory on earth."
"It is said that adults caring for children have become infected."
Acne is generally more common among children. Adults can also get it, but it is better than children. If both adults and children are affected, then the acne is really serious.
This is very likely to become a major plague that threatens more than just children.
Following the Queen Mother's questioning, the news spread throughout the court, causing an uproar immediately.
"What are these people doing in there?"
"Ask her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunqi looked at the speaker.
"Then what?" he said.
Then?
Then he would judge the crime when it was necessary, and appease the people when it was time to appease the people. The minister frowned.
"There are still dozens of people in Guanghua Temple at this time, and there are countless people coming from other places." Lu Yunqi said, "If we take her away and hold these doctors accountable, what will happen to these people?"
It will definitely not work if we let people receive medical treatment again. Then these people will be in chaos and just run around...
The palace became quiet.
"The poison of acne is so fast that once it cannot be controlled, it will be like a savage beast. The emperor cannot afford to let anything go wrong." A courtier said with a solemn expression, "This matter must be kept secret."
Confidential?
"Then we will inform the local governments to check and imprison the children with acne." The courtier continued, "We will wait until the civil affairs officials on the way successfully arrive at Guanghua Temple."
Then what?
"Then it will be fine." Lu Yunqi said suddenly.
Why is everything okay? The officials present were startled, but then they all remembered one thing.
Historical records record an outbreak of pox in Lingnan. This time, not only children died, but adults were also infected. The attack was so fierce that no one could do anything about it. The garrison commander at that time simply ordered all the sick people to be massacred.
The governor was convicted by the court, but his actions were a helpless and decisive move.
Then Lu Yunqi wouldn't be like this, right?
Sure enough, he is a meat-loined knife, cold-blooded and ruthless, and there are more than a hundred people.
The courtiers looked frightened.
The courtier who had previously made the suggestion was silent, as if he didn't say anything and didn't understand what Lu Yunqi said.
"Jiulingtang said it can cure acne, and the people believe it." A court official coughed slightly and said, "Even now, she doesn't say it can't be cured. Even if we say it can't be cured, it's useless."
Yes, it's none of their business. The woman was responsible for this, and she will naturally have to bear the consequences.
The courtiers shook their heads and sighed, no longer saying anything about arresting Miss Jun, and were discussing in low voices that the eunuch had come to announce the emperor's arrival. The courtiers hurriedly straightened their clothes, stopped talking, and headed towards the main hall.
Lu Yunqi, on the contrary, watched the courtiers file in and turned around to leave.
The spring breeze in February is like scissors, causing pain on people's faces.
Ning Yunzhao closed the window and frowned.
"Sir, there's still one month until the exam starts, don't be nervous." Xiao Ding said nervously from behind.
Ning Yunzhao glanced at him and smiled.
"There's nothing to be nervous about when you're confident," he said.
Xiao Ding chuckled.
"Besides, if we fail this year and come back in three years, there will be no way out. There is nothing to be nervous about." Ning Yunzhao said.
Xiao Ding said aloud.
"Young Master, we won't say such discouraging words." He said.
Ning Yunzhao smiled.
What do you call discouraging words? Instead, they are words of encouragement. There is nothing important except life and death. What is there to be nervous about? It is nothing compared to the girl who is facing such important matters.
I wish her good luck in passing this exam.
He can only give blessings, and he can't help with anything else.

"Miss Jun."
In the Buddhist hall, Chen Qi came in with an uneasy expression. When he saw the doctors there, he stopped talking again.
The doctor had already seen him and saw that he was hesitant to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We are all grasshoppers on a rope now." Miss Jun said with a smile.
I'm still in the mood for fun at this time.
Chen Qigan laughed.
Okay, Jinxiu said, do everything as she said.
"In addition to the imperial guards, many officers and soldiers have arrived. They are not allowed to go out now." He said, "In the past, the guys could go out and take turns to rest, but now they are all driven back."
Not allowed to go out?
That means there is martial law here.
It is true that martial law has been in force here for a long time, but at that time, the martial law was targeted at acne patients. Now it is obviously targeted at them.
The doctors had complicated expressions on their faces.
"It's nothing. Nowadays, the cure is not as good as expected, more and more people are dying, and people outside are beginning to question it." Old Doctor Feng said, "They are also beginning to be afraid."
"Otherwise, let's say it can't be cured." Chen Qi couldn't help but say, "Admit it proactively and let the court find a way."
"If they had figured out a way earlier, wouldn't they still need us here?" Old Doctor Feng said.
Chen Qi stopped talking.
"What Miss Jun told us at the beginning was to ask for help, but she was not absolutely sure." Old Doctor Feng said, "Everyone should have imagined the current situation."
The doctors all laughed.
"Old Feng, you don't need to comfort me." A doctor smiled, looking outside, listening to the crying that never stopped in his ears, "We don't want to leave even now."
"Yes, once we leave, no one will really care about them anymore," another doctor said.
Chen Qi looked at these doctors with a complicated expression.
At first, the young lady invited them because of her reputation, and she even had to spend a lot of money, but now in the most difficult time, these doctors don't even need to persuade or comfort her (to be continued).
