Chapter 254 Healing Power Becomes a Death Writ
The prince did not reply, but took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and resolutely entered the sick room.
It was not mealtime, and there was a kettle, fruit and snacks in the room. It was obvious that the emperor had made careful arrangements and did not neglect those who risked their lives to deliver the message.
Hearing someone coming in, the messenger sat up and looked in good spirits.
He asked vigilantly, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
Gu Huaiyu took out the token and said, "I am the prince of the Great Shuo Dynasty, and this is Princess Anle. We are here to learn about the plague from you!"
The messenger looked incredulous, "Aren't you here to kill me?"
Gu Huaiyu frowned, wondering why he had such an idea.
The messenger looked at them for a long time, looking at their clothes and ages, he guessed that it was indeed the prince and Princess Anle in front of him, and then he was slightly relieved.
The prince and the princess were not guilty of murder, so they went out in person.
Su Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly: "Why are you nervous? Why do you think we are here to kill you?"
The messenger said with a bitter face: "This plague did not seem serious at first, just some rashes on the hands, but slowly the rashes will become more and more, covering the whole body.
Then the fever will not subside, and finally the whole body will decay and die. When I came, someone asked General Su for permission to burn all the sick people to death, and the epidemic could be solved. . "
Gu Huaiyu was furious: "It's ridiculous. It's right to isolate and treat the patients. They are all living people. How can they be burned like this?"
The messenger said: "General Su also said so, and he rewarded the person who proposed it with 20 military sticks. But the plague is getting worse and worse. When I set out, many people had already been infected with the disease.
The most terrible thing is that when the disease first occurs, it is impossible to detect it. Once Once they find that everyone around them has problems. "
When Gu Huaiyu heard this, I just felt that they underestimated the severity of the plague, and advised: "Xiaoxiao, I have notified the Imperial Hospital, and the imperial physician will be here soon. Let's go out first and make a conclusion after the imperial physician comes."
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "If the plague only broke out in Western Jin, it can be considered that the western border has just experienced a war, lacks doctors and medicine, and cannot control the plague well.
But But now even the epidemic in Dongqiu is getting worse, which can only mean that ordinary medicines are useless against this plague.
Dongqiu is adjacent to Dongling, which is considered the richest place besides the capital. Dongqiu’s specialty is medicinal materials, and Dongqiu has the most famous doctors. They can’t control it. The epidemic has come to the hospital, and we can’t think of a solution for a while, so let me try. "
Su Xiaoxiao said and walked towards the patient.
The patient was ashamed to hear that Su Xiaoxiao always considered the patients in everything, but he had snatched the messenger job to avoid the plague.
He knew that he would die sooner or later if he got sick, and he really didn't want to implicate Princess Anle.
He kept shrinking on the bed: "It is a blessing for me to see the prince and the princess today. You should leave quickly. This disease cannot be cured."
Su Xiaoxiao really stopped when she heard him say this. She said to Gu Huaiyu: "Brother Prince, you all say that I am the lucky star of Dashuo. The plague will definitely not do anything to me. You wait for me outside and leave this to me."
Gu Huaiyu did not expect that he could not persuade Su Xiaoxiao, but she wanted to get him out.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and smiled brightly: "It seems that neither of us can convince each other today. Then you go to see the patient and I will stay here with you."
Su Xiaoxiao was not a hypocritical person. Seeing that Gu Huaiyu insisted, she did not say anything more.
She reached out to feel the patient's pulse. The pulse was relatively stable, but it always felt a little different.
He checked the rash on the patient's body again. Now the rash was only on the arms and legs, all with red dots.
Su Xiaoxiao penetrated the patient's skin and found a ball of black gas in the body that was spreading around the body.
The black gas looked like something from the demon clan. I guess that was the cause of the disease.
Su Xiaoxiao held the patient's hand and tried to use the healing power to heal him.
The power was continuously entering the body, but the patient showed no sign of improvement at all.
In just a few moments, the rash on his body became more and more, even covering his face and forehead.
And the small ball of black gas in his body became larger and larger, almost filling up all his internal organs.
The patient cried out in pain: "It hurts, it hurts so much, and it itches!"
He scratched the rash on his body uncontrollably, saying: "How could this happen? It should take at least three days for my illness to develop to this extent."
Su Xiaoxiao quickly retracted her hand with a serious expression.
[How could this happen? Even if my healing power can't cure it, it won't make it worse. This poison is clearly the work of the Demon Cult.
The Tree of Samsara has no vitality, so my power will accelerate its withering, but this is a human, my power cannot cause any harm to him! ]
Su Xiaoxiao was thinking hard, and Gu Huaiyu was terrified. If even Xiaoxiao couldn't cure this plague, then who else in the world could?
But the most urgent thing is to take Xiaoxiao away from here, he advised: "Xiaoxiao, you have already tried, let's go out first, maybe the Imperial Hospital will have a solution."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned, took the patient's pulse, observed the rash on his body, and asked about his current condition, and then went out with Gu Huaiyu.
"Brother Prince, we have to tell the imperial physician about this situation first, let them prescribe medicine according to the symptoms, and see if they can relieve the patient's condition. Otherwise, I will be the culprit who killed him."
Su Xiaoxiao was a little frustrated, he never thought that his healing power would be a death warrant.
He just wanted to pull Su Xiaoxiao over to comfort her, but Su Xiaoxiao instinctively stepped back: "Brother Crown Prince, I just came into contact with a patient, it's better for you to stay away from me."
The Crown Prince wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Su Xiaoxiao's eyes. He had to hang his hands in the air and said:
"Xiaoxiao, don't blame yourself. You are also trying to save him. You have now mastered all the symptoms. Maybe the Imperial Hospital will have a way. I will go and ask the Imperial Physician!"
As soon as the voice fell, the head of the Imperial Hospital came with the young Imperial Physician who treated Su Xiaoxiao.
When he saw the Crown Prince, he was also shocked.
The Crown Prince asked him for those masks, which were for the guards of the post station. Who knew that the Crown Prince and Princess Anle had arrived first.
The head of the hospital asked in horror: "Prince, what are you doing..."
Gu Huaiyu interrupted him and said to him: "Princess Anle has already visited the patient in person. The patient is currently covered with rashes and has a fever. The head of the hospital should prescribe a medicine to see if it can alleviate the condition!"
