Chapter 206: He is in a position but does nothing else

Cheng Jin listened to Chu Chengye and nodded.

"There is no reason for the epidemic in Qingzhou yet, so we cannot just let them enter the capital. This is not irresponsible to the people of Qingzhou. The main thing now is to control it first and find the imperial physician to make medicine that can relieve and treat it."

Chu Chengye nodded, turned around and left Chunhe Palace and immediately returned to Yangxin Palace to draft an order to handle this matter.

There are many people in Qingzhou blocking the capital, so it is not easy to let them return by the original route. I am afraid that they will cause a commotion outside the city. Cheng Sheng and Cheng Yishou received the order to supervise the scene.

It is said that they finally got a chance to meet as a family, but because of the sudden drought reported by Qingzhou and the epidemic in the city, Cheng Jin and others did not even have the opportunity to sit down and talk properly.

Zhao Shulan didn't stay in Chunhe Palace for long. She knew some folk remedies to prevent epidemics, so she left the palace to make arrangements.

For a while, news about the Qingzhou epidemic came one after another in the capital. In order to avoid infection, most of them stayed indoors, which just happened to be in line with Chu Chengye's intention. He originally wanted to issue

an order that the people in the city were not allowed to go out for leisure before the people of Qingzhou left. But it was not a solution for the people of Qingzhou to stay outside the city all the time.

Although they had no symptoms, no one could be sure whether they were infected.

Cheng Jin originally wanted to wait in Chunhe Palace for news from outside the city, but for several days, the Imperial Hospital had no progress at all. They only said that the previous method of treating the plague would be used to drive all the people of Qingzhou to one place and let them fend for themselves.

This method is the best solution when all medical conditions are backward. It can effectively prevent the epidemic from infecting the capital and prevent the further spread of the epidemic.

However, there are many people in Qingzhou gathered outside the city. It is definitely impossible to let so many people fend for themselves. So many lives are not a trivial matter.

If the people who have not come from Qingzhou heard that the court used this method to prevent the spread of the epidemic, Qingzhou would definitely fall into panic and riot again.

The Qingzhou area is close to the border. If it is used by people with ulterior motives, they will rebel because of this matter, and then they will not know that it is an epidemic.

Things will become difficult to control.

After several days without news, Cheng Jin could no longer sit still. She went to the Imperial Hospital to see the progress of the imperial doctors.

Cuizhu and Ziying were by Cheng Jin's side. When the imperial doctors saw Cheng Jin coming, they only greeted her and then flipped through books or prepared medicine.

When Cheng Jin approached, they did not hesitate.

But the prescriptions written by Cheng Jin and others were long obsolete in history and medical books. Why did they find them again?

There were also those who prepared their own medicines. They looked serious, but each one was just a tonic that had nothing to do with the epidemic.

They seemed to have expected Cheng Jin to not understand these things, so they did not hesitate to do their own things when Cheng Jin came.

Cheng Jin approached one of them, picked up the prescription he was writing, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Have you ever seen patients who have been infected with the epidemic in your imperial hospital?"

The imperial physician shook his head, "No, but there are references in previous medical books. I estimate that those medicines can also be used for this epidemic."

Cheng Jin exerted a little force on the hand holding the paper, "Then how did you write these prescriptions? Just relying on the records in medical books?"

The imperial physician neither shook his head nor nodded, but made up his mind that Cheng Jin would not understand these. He said lightly, "It's just a trial for the time being. This prescription cannot be written in one day."

The imperial physician saluted Cheng Jin respectfully on the surface, but secretly asked Cheng Jin to understand.

"My Lady, I know you are worried about the people of Qingzhou outside the city. We share the same thoughts as you. We are also anxious, but it is useless to be anxious about this matter. Please give us some more time."

Give them time, but the man did not say how much time.

Cheng Jin could give them time, but how much time would the people of Qingzhou outside the city and the people who have been infected in Qingzhou have to wait for the imperial doctors to write a prescription to save their lives.

But it was useless for Cheng Jin to be anxious now. She could not rush them to seize the time for no reason in the Imperial Hospital. They had guessed that Cheng Jin was just a woman in the deep palace and naturally did not understand these things.

Even if they tried to fool Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin would not be able to do anything.

The best doctors in the capital are all here, so even if Chu Chengye comes, there is nothing he can do to hurry them up.

Only the Imperial Hospital can save the people of Qingzhou at this time.

Cheng Jin could only suppress his unhappiness and leave first. When

the imperial doctors saw Cheng Jin leaving, they felt relieved and boldly said what they wanted to say.

"These masters only know how to give us tasks, but who doesn't know that this epidemic is different from the previous ones? It has infected so many people in such a short time, and the number of deaths is so high. How can it be so easy to treat?"

When an imperial doctor who was picking herbs heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and didn't even pick the medicine. He walked to the imperial doctor and talked to him attentively.

"If you ask me, with the intensity of this epidemic, diagnosis and treatment are useless. We should continue with the previous dynasty's method. It is better to gather all the people of Qingzhou together and let them fend for themselves. When they are all dead, we can burn them all. There is no need to worry about the epidemic spreading."

"Who said it is not? Concubine Rong also asked how to prescribe medicine without seeing those patients. But everyone knows how serious the epidemic will be. Who dares to see those people of Qingzhou?"

"These masters are just talking without any worries. As soon as they open their mouths, we have to run around. They are afraid of death, but aren't we afraid of death? If Concubine Rong cares so much about the people of Qingzhou, why doesn't she go and see for herself instead of sending us? Isn't this trying to kill us?"

One of them laughed, "Of course she is trying to kill us, then do you dare to tell Concubine Rong?"

The man immediately waved his hands, "How dare I? We are all servants. I just do my job well and make sure they can't find any fault with me. How dare I ask for so much?"

Cheng Jin did not walk far. She didn't know what she felt when she heard those discussions, but Cheng Jin just stood far away and didn't react, as if she was thinking about something.

Cuizhu couldn't stand it any longer. She quickened her breathing, rolled up her sleeves and rushed in to argue with those people.

Cuizhu said angrily, "How dare they talk about the queen like that."

"It's bad enough that they can't find a prescription to treat the disease, but they are so perfunctory and don't care about the people of Qingzhou."

"If they do not do their job, won't the Queen teach them a lesson?"
