Chapter 255: Come to lend a helping hand to the master

The head of the Imperial Hospital bowed and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness, but as doctors, how can we prescribe medicine without seeing the patient in person? Let me see him first."

As he said this, he was about to go into the patient's room.

The young doctor beside him stopped him and said, "Master, the plague is raging now, and the Imperial Hospital needs you to take charge of the situation. Let your disciple go. I am young and in good health, so I will go.

Master, you don't have to come to the post station frequently in the future. I will record the patient's condition in detail and send it to you after fumigating it with medicinal materials."

The head of the hospital disagreed, "This plague is complicated, and you don't have enough experience. I have to go."

The prince praised the animal, looked at the master and disciple, and said, "I think what Doctor Qiu Yu said is very right. The head of the hospital is the mainstay of the Imperial Hospital. It depends on you and everyone to find the right medicine.

So, you haven't been in the post station for long, and you are wearing a mask. You go out and wait for news."

The head of the hospital was about to say something else, but was stopped by Gu Huaiyu.

The head of the hospital wanted the prince and Princess Anle to leave the post station quickly. The two said in unison: "We have personally come into contact with patients, so it is safer for us to stay in the post station."

The head of the hospital had no choice but to have people sprinkle sulfur on the ground of the post station for disinfection.

He also asked people to burn some medicinal herbs for infectious diseases in the incense burner, and then he went out.

Before leaving, he said: "I will stay in a house near the post station, so that I can understand the patient's condition. The prince and the princess can call me at any time if they need it."

After sending the head of the hospital away, Qiu Liang went to see the patient again and considered the prescription.

Gu Huaiyu withdrew the guards outside the house to the street corner next to the post station, and asked the head of the hospital to report to the emperor and send soldiers to guard the two entrances of the post station to prevent people from approaching.

Su Xiaoxiao was still thinking hard about what the problem was.

The medicine prescribed by Doctor Qiu Yu was also given to the messengers from the western border, but the situation did not improve at all.

What's worse, the messengers from Dongqiu, Beidi and Nanjiang also fell ill one after another.

The emperor was already worried and anxious, and he was even more frightened when he heard that the prince and Su Xiaoxiao had entered the post station without permission and could not come out.

The lights in the Qinzheng Hall were on all night long, and the emperor stayed up all night to discuss countermeasures with the ministers and doctors.

The ministers also quarreled because of their different positions.

Some ministers believed that medical officers and medicinal materials should be sent to the epidemic area as soon as possible to prevent the plague from spreading.

Another group believes that the cause and treatment of the plague are still unclear, and rashly sending people out will not alleviate the epidemic. They should wait for the Imperial Medical Institute to develop a suitable medicine before promoting it.

There is also a small group that believes that this plague is extremely dangerous and extraordinary measures should be taken to directly block the epidemic area to prevent the spread of the plague.

Everyone thinks that what they say is right, and no one gives in to anyone. The Qinzheng Hall is busier than the vegetable market.

In addition to the emperor, the most worried are the queen and Zhao Wanyue.

The prince and Su Xiaoxiao are trapped in the post station, which means they are directly facing the plague. The queen and Zhao Wanyue, the two mothers, have to be worried all the time and can't sleep all night.

But the post station had been sealed off, and the supplies and medicines needed inside were listed in advance and placed in a basket on the street.

After people walked away, the people from the City Defense Department took out the list and prepared supplies according to the list.

They wanted to visit, but they couldn't, so they could only prepare daily supplies for them and let the people from the City Defense Department take them in.

In just two days, the news spread all over the capital, and everyone was in a panic.

The first soldier who fell ill took a turn for the worse after receiving Su Xiaoxiao's healing power.

The Imperial Hospital has changed the prescription three times, and there is no sign of improvement.

As for the few who fell ill later, although their condition is not too bad at the moment, all the medicines used on them have no effect.

Many guards at the post station also showed symptoms.

News came from the four borders that the plague was completely out of control, and many people had died.

Su Xiaoxiao even took out the spiritual springs, spiritual fruits and other magical instruments in her small bag and tried them, but it was still useless.

Seeing the first sick messenger gradually weakening and about to die, Su Xiaoxiao was extremely depressed. No

matter how Gu Huaiyu persuaded her, it was of no use.

Just when she was at a loss, someone pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Master, I'm here to accompany you!"

Su Xiaoxiao was shocked when she saw Cheng Xingzuo suddenly appear.

She asked, "Isn't this place blocked? How did you get in?"

Cheng Xingzuo smiled foolishly, "I deliberately met the messenger from the Western Territory today, so I was let in."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say to him, and questioned, "Don't you know that there are plague patients everywhere here? Others can't hide from them, so why did you rush in?"

Cheng Xingzuo saw that Su Xiaoxiao was angry, and said timidly, "The flute my master gave me has a calming and soothing effect. I think it will have a certain effect on alleviating the pain of patients, so I thought of coming to wish you a happy life." Master, please lend a helping hand."

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head helplessly: "This time is different from usual. I have tried everything, but I still can't help at all.

The plague is very strange. It is not poisoning or illness. It is just a group of black air condensed in the abdomen and spread all over the body. It doesn't look like something that should exist in the human world. It looks more like something from the demon clan, but my power can suppress the demon clan's toxicity."

Su Xiaoxiao angrily kicked a stone in the garden far away. The stone hit the wall and a hole suddenly appeared on the wall.

Even so, it couldn't relieve his anger.

Cheng Xingzuo's eyes lit up. He bent his waist and pulled Su Xiaoxiao's sleeve. He opened his mouth excitedly and couldn't speak for a long time.

Even Gu Huaiyu couldn't bear it anymore and kindly reminded him: "Master Cheng, if you want to be surprised, then be surprised. If you want to speak, adjust the shape of your mouth first."

Cheng Xingzuo was still so excited that he stammered: "Master... Master, I think I know!"

Su Xiaoxiao thought he was surprised that he had broken through the wall, so she said with a bitter face: "Did you just get to know me today? I am very capable. I can even tear down this wall, but I can't cure this damn plague."

The more Su Xiaoxiao spoke, the more she gritted her teeth, and she wished she could take out the plague and eat it alive.

Cheng Xingzuo was silent for a long time, and finally straightened his tongue: "Master, I seem to know what is the thing that can stop the plague?"

Gu Huaiyu heard it, jumped up from the ground, and asked: "Do you know what is the thing that can stop the plague?"

Yes, you read it right, our noble prince has been sitting on the ground, making fun of the grasshopper with straw.
