During a year of famine, she fled with her family....

Chapter 83: Director of the Imperial Hospital

"I called you here to take a look at these prescriptions and see if there's anything wrong with them."

The emperor picked up the prescription and symptoms of the plague written by Gao Zhijun and said to Yuan Zheng.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The director stepped forward and took the prescription from the emperor. He stood aside and began to look at the contents one by one, with a look of shock on his face. Sometimes he would say "so that's how it is", and sometimes he would show an expression of "so the medicine can be used like this, no wonder".

"Your Majesty, these prescriptions were written by that miraculous doctor. I wish to become his disciple. He is truly amazing. If I try him and he can truly cure the plague, I will never be afraid of it again."

He will be the pride of the medical profession, and I, an old minister, would like to learn medicine from him."

He never imagined that one day the plague could be cured instead of being controlled by burning villages or cities.

That miracle doctor is truly the pride of the medical community.

"My dear, do you think those prescriptions can cure those plagues? Are they exaggerated?"

The emperor didn't know much about medicine, and he didn't know whether those prescriptions could really cure the plague, so he asked this question unnecessarily.

"Your Majesty, although I haven't tried it, those herbs combined can indeed prevent the plague. As for whether they can cure it, I can't guarantee it. However, if we boil these herbs in water and give it to the people to drink, it will definitely control the plague and prevent an outbreak. This is because these herbs will produce antibodies in the human body, and the possibility of contracting the plague again in the future is very small, unless it is a different plague."

The director of the court gave the emperor a reassurance, making him feel at ease.

The emperor was very excited to hear that there were so many benefits!

If no one dies when a plague occurs in the future, he will be one of the best and wisest rulers, and his reputation will be recorded in history and passed down through the ages.

"My dear minister, please go back and arrange for the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to send two physicians from each prefecture with prescriptions to assist you."

The prescription was confirmed to be genuine, and the emperor immediately arranged for imperial physicians to be sent to various prefectures to assist the local doctors of the imperial medical clinic to control the plague before it broke out.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"The Emperor hasn't told me yet where the miracle doctor is and what his name is?"

The dean immediately took the order and asked the question that had not been answered before.

"She's a little girl of twelve or thirteen, from Gaoling Village, Anyang County, Liangzhou. Now she's in Taizhou."

The emperor told the Liangzhou prefect about Gao Zhijun's situation.

"What? The miracle doctor is actually a woman, a village girl, a child. Is the emperor trying to please this old minister?"

The dean said that he couldn't believe anything he said. How could a young girl with such high attainments come from a rural background?

"How dare you! Would I lie to you? See for yourself if you don't believe me!"

The emperor was furious when someone questioned him. He immediately reprimanded the person and threw the letter written by Prefect Chu in front of the courtyard.

The court director was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy from the emperor: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I meant. Please have mercy!"

"Forget it, I know you didn't mean it, so I'll let you off the hook. You'll understand after you see it for yourself!"

The emperor didn't really want to punish him, he was just unhappy just now. It was understandable if you think about it. He definitely couldn't believe that a dignified dean was not as good as a little girl.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. May Your Majesty be blessed with great health and happiness!"

After thanking him, the dean picked up the letter on the ground and began to read it. Only then did he realize that the miracle doctor he had always thought of was actually a girl, and the person he wanted to learn medicine from was actually a girl. What an irony this was.

He had devoted his entire life to studying medicine and was a prominent figure in the medical world. He refused to believe that he would be defeated by a little girl.

But that's the fact. There's no way to find any flaws in the prescription she wrote. It's the right medicine for the disease and cannot be refuted.

The truth is cruel. You have to believe it whether you like it or not, and you have to accept it whether you like or not.

"Do you believe what I said now? Is it unacceptable?

To be honest, I didn’t believe it at first, but facts speak louder than words, so I have to believe it even if I don’t want to.”

"Alright, go down and arrange for the imperial physicians to go to various prefectures to treat the plague."

Whether the court officials believed it or not, this was the truth. The emperor asked him to leave.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I have a request. I want to go to Taizhou and meet Divine Doctor Gao."

Whether I believe it or not, her medical skills are indeed better than mine. I want to meet her. Maybe I can learn a little bit and improve my medical skills to a higher level.

"Okay! Go down!"

The emperor didn't care about the purpose of the hospital director. He wanted to meet the little girl, and it would be best if he could bring her to Beijing and the palace to see patients for himself and the concubines.

He can feel at ease if he checks his pulse once a day.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will take my leave!"

The director happily left the imperial study with the prescriptions and drawings and returned to the Imperial Hospital.

The director of the court arranged a total of 24 imperial physicians to go to various prefectures to assist local imperial physicians in treating the plague. He went to Taizhou in person and left five imperial physicians to work in the palace, ready to diagnose and check the pulse of the emperor and concubines at any time.

The next day, at the morning court session, the emperor showed the memorial from Governor Chu to the ministers, and ordered General Weiwu and General Longwei to send troops to escort the imperial physician.

The ministers in the court were shocked by the news. They didn't know that someone could predict the plague before it happened.

Don’t you even understand what the laws of nature are?

I don't understand that a severe drought will be followed by a severe flood, and after a severe flood there will be a severe epidemic.

This was something they had never heard of before, and everyone was very interested in this great doctor and wanted to get to know him.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory even wanted to discuss and exchange ideas with Gao Zhijun, as they had no idea that she knew how to observe the celestial phenomena at night.
