Chapter 207 She really wanted to do something for those people
Cheng Jin was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head.
Although those imperial doctors' words were unpleasant, if you think about it carefully, they seem to have said nothing wrong.
What's wrong with being greedy for life and afraid of death? It's just human nature.
Who in this world is not afraid of death?
Cheng Jin finally looked back at the group of imperial doctors who were laughing and joking in the Imperial Hospital, waved her hand, turned around and left.
Just as Cuizhu said, one should do his job in his position, and this also applies to Cheng Jin.
She is supported by the people and eats the people's food, so she should do something for them.
It's not that she can't do anything. She has learned some medical skills from Pei Yu. Although she is not proficient in them, she knows most of them. Although she can't treat the people infected with the disease, she can still prescribe the right medicine.
The most important thing now is to know what symptoms those who have the disease have.
After Cheng Jin thought of this, she read the relevant history books and medical books overnight, and the prescriptions she wrote were almost the same as those written by the imperial doctors, but this was far from enough. Cheng Jin
chose to leave the palace. Chu Chengye didn't agree at first. He always remembered what Cheng Jin said about those people in Qingzhou who were sure that they were not infected. It was
indeed the same as Cheng Jin said. In the past few days, people have been infected one after another, and the symptoms are no different from those of the people in Qingzhou.
There is no cure now. If Cheng Jin is really infected...
Chu Chengye did not think about it any further. The most important thing now is not to have any contact with her. He can only wait for the doctor of the Imperial Hospital to write a prescription.
Cheng Jin did not ask for anything else. Instead, he asked seriously, "Have you been to the outside of the city to see the people of Qingzhou?"
Chu Chengye was silent.
Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye had been there, and it was precisely because he had seen the people suffering from the epidemic that Chu Chengye did not want Cheng Jin to go.
"Isn't it right that Cheng Sheng is there too?"
Chu Chengye nodded, but did not give in.
"Not only you, but there are many more people who are willing to work for the people of Qingzhou because they care about them."
Cheng Jin raised her head to meet Chu Chengye's gaze, "Why can't I do that?" "
I care about the people just like you."
"Or do you think I'm just the Royal Concubine, not someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you? Don't you think I have the ability to do something for you, for the people of Nanqi?"
Chu Chengye denied it before he finished speaking, "No, I never thought so."
For Chu Chengye, Cheng Jin is not just the Royal Concubine trapped in the deep palace, she is herself.
He has known Cheng Jin's ability and insights for such a long time, and he knew it when Cheng Jin saved him again and again.
Cheng Jin wanted to say something else, but Chu Chengye finally nodded.
"Those infected patients have been moved to a separate place. If you want to go, take protective measures and go with me tomorrow."
Cheng Jin probably didn't expect Chu Chengye to agree so quickly, and excitedly grabbed Chu Chengye's arm, "Okay, okay, I will definitely go tomorrow."
Even though Cheng Jin had repeatedly promised to protect herself, Chu Chengye was still worried. After leaving, he returned to bring preventive medicine and asked Cheng Jin to drink it before he felt relieved.
The next day, Cheng Jin went with Chu Chengye to see where the infected patients were.
Wei An had been persuading Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin since they decided to come, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't go."
"They are already infected. There is no point in seeing each other again. Your Majesty should be careful about his health. Your Majesty, please don't go either. The imperial physician comes here every day."
Cheng Jin glanced at the imperial physician who came in for a short while and immediately returned without saying anything.
Chu Chengye glanced at Wei An, "Why are you talking so much today? If you are afraid, stay away."
Wei An felt a little wronged. He whispered, "I am not afraid of death, but if Your Majesty is infected..."
Before Wei An finished speaking, he was stopped by Chu Chengye's gaze. He shut his mouth, swallowed his words, and followed Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin closely.
Chu Chengye also noticed the doctor who had just come out. He walked up to him and asked, "How are they today?"
The doctor seemed to have not expected Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin to come here. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed. He trembled and said, "There is no change from the previous few days. There is still a high fever and rash. The medicine used every day is of no use."
Chu Chengye was angry and shocked when he heard the doctor's words. He stared at him closely. The imperial physician in front of him suppressed his temper and said in a deep voice: "This is not what you say to me in the memorials you review every day. Deceiving the emperor, do you know what crime this is!"
The imperial physician was so scared that he kowtowed and said: "I am guilty, but we have tried our best. We have tried all the methods we can, but there is no effect. The imperial hospital is afraid that the emperor will blame us, so we wrote those memorials for him to see. I hope the emperor will forgive us."
"Then do you think I won't blame you now?" Chu Chengye became even angrier when he listened to the painful groans of the people.
The imperial physician said, "We came up with this method because we were worried that the emperor was too concerned about these patients and was afraid of hurting his body. Although we deceived the emperor, there was a reason for it."
Chu Chengye didn't listen to the imperial physician's explanation at all. He waved his hand and asked him to take him away. Cheng Jin tugged at Chu Chengye's sleeve.
"Your Majesty, this is a time when we need people. If we punish the Imperial Medical Bureau for this, I'm afraid the complaints from the Imperial Medical Bureau will only continue, and they will not be able to concentrate on finding a way to treat the epidemic."
"Why not let them make up for their mistakes and wait until the epidemic is over?"
Although Chu Chengye nodded, he did not let the imperial physician get up. Instead, he walked in front with his hands behind his back. Cheng Jin waved his hand for him to get up and conveyed what Chu Chengye had just said.
The imperial physician cried uncontrollably after dying and said that he would concentrate on researching a prescription for this epidemic.
Cheng Jin didn't know whether what this man said was credible, but just followed Chu Chengye.
When she entered the courtyard where the infected Qingzhou people lived, she was shocked even though she had made preparations.
She thought this epidemic would be serious and difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect it to be this serious.
There were about dozens of people in the yard, queuing up to get medicine. All of them were dressed in tight clothes, with only a pair of eyes showing. When they heard someone coming in, those eyes turned to Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin.
But they were just a pair of eyes, and when they looked at Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin could still clearly see the desire to survive in their eyes.
Cheng Jin suddenly felt that she would never regret the decision she made this time, even if she really got the disease.
She really wanted to do something for those people.
