Chapter 214 More importantly, you will still need me

Cheng Jin sat in the house waiting, and saw that it was quiet outside the door for a while, but Pei Yu's voice was never heard.

Just when Cheng Jin thought that she could not hear Pei Yu's response, Pei Yu's gentle voice came from outside the door.

He spoke very slowly, and it seemed particularly gentle in the quiet environment.

"I admit that I came to see you today out of selfishness, but since you don't want to listen, I won't say it."

"You want to talk about the epidemic of the people in Qingzhou outside the city, and I do have something to say to you."

The door was suddenly opened, and Cheng Jin's face jumped in front of Pei Yu, and Pei Yu couldn't help but smile.

Cheng Jin opened the door, as if everything before had never happened.

Cheng Jin stretched out her arms to let Pei Yu in. "Master Pei, please come in."

Pei Yu followed Cheng Jin's movements and entered Cheng Jin's room. Cheng Jin threw the book on the table aside and made a seat for Pei Yu.

"Go ahead."

Cheng Jin sat next to Pei Yu, holding her chin and waiting for Pei Yu to speak.

Even if there was no possibility with Pei Yu, Cheng Jin never doubted Pei Yu's professionalism. After all, he was a famous doctor described in the book. He could even cure the unsolvable poison in the northern border, let alone the current condition.

Pei Yu must have a way to write a prescription for the treatment.

Even if Cheng Jin was sure of her idea and proved that the disease suffered by the people of Qingzhou outside the city was not an epidemic but something else, after all, she was not a professional, and she had no way to treat the people of Qingzhou. She still had to rely on the Imperial Hospital or Pei Yu.

The Imperial Hospital was full of people who were reluctant to give in, fearing that they would be infected. Even if Cheng Jin told them the poem, they probably wouldn't believe it.

But Pei Yu was different. At least Pei Yu could be trusted in medical skills.

Pei Yu tilted his head and looked at Cheng Jin tentatively, as if he wanted to say something, but was blocked by Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin spoke first, "I suspect that the disease that the Qingzhou people outside the city have is not an epidemic, nor is it contagious. The fever and rash day after day are not the cause of death. The real reason is the prescriptions for treating epidemics prescribed by the Imperial Hospital."

Seeing that Cheng Jin was still unwilling to mention anything else, Pei Yu sighed slightly.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the ground not far away.

"Yes, that's exactly what you said."

Cheng Jin's eyes showed surprise after hearing Pei Yu's words, "Really?"

Her own doubts were completely different from the affirmative answer from Pei Yu's mouth, which meant that her idea must be correct, and the people of Qingzhou would be rescued soon.

Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin and nodded, "This disease is not an epidemic at all, or those people are not sick at all, but because of taking those medicines, they have fever and rash. So once they stop taking them, the rash will disappear. As for the fever, you just need to use some antipyretic medicine."

Cheng Jin nodded in understanding, but her face was full of uncontrollable joy. She stood up immediately, "Then I will tell Chu Chengye now."

She looked back at Pei Yu again, and the smile in her eyes deepened, "Tell him the good news."

Pei Yu's eyes showed a rare panic, and he stood up immediately, moving quickly and hurriedly, causing the chair and the ground under him to make a harsh sound.

He went straight up and grabbed Cheng Jin's arm, and said anxiously, "Don't go yet."

Cheng Jin turned around and stared at Pei Yu with some confusion.

Pei Yu then took back Cheng Jin's hand, froze for a moment, then slowly looked up at Cheng Jin, he looked away and said, "Don't go yet."

"Now the people in and outside the city have been in a panic because of the epidemic. If we tell everyone now that it was just an accident, they will probably think that the court made up such a lie to comfort the people and quell the unrest. I guess no one will believe it. Why do that?"

"Then keep it a secret?" Cheng Jin really couldn't understand Pei Yu's true meaning. Pei Yu's words made sense, but there were indeed many things that didn't make sense.

Telling everyone that it was just a misunderstanding would cause a small disturbance, but at least the people of Qingzhou wouldn't be so worried and would be able to receive treatment as soon as possible.

As if he saw the doubt in Cheng Jin's eyes, Pei Yu continued to explain: "It's not about hiding it, but about deceiving."

"If we just say it's a mistake, what will the people say to the court? If such a thing happens again in the future, the people will not trust the court, and it will be difficult to control it. We can't just look at the present and ignore the future."

Pei Yu's words made sense. If they said it directly this time, not only would they provoke a lot of complaints, but they would also lose the people's trust in the court. This would be a loss.

As if he had noticed that Cheng Jin had listened and was hesitating, Pei Yu thought and continued:

"More importantly..."

You won't abandon me

. Pei Yu paused for a moment, "Now the more important thing is to ask the people outside the city to stop taking the medicine immediately and switch to our medicine. But those people have been drinking the medicine for so long. If we only take our one-sided words, I guess they won't believe us, and they won't listen to us. It's better to say that we have developed a real prescription for curing the epidemic and let them switch."

"This way, we can show the emperor's attention to the people, and also make them less resistant. This way, we can have the best of both worlds."

Pei Yu slightly bent down to meet Cheng Jin's gaze. His voice was very soft, and he asked Cheng Jin's opinion, "Do you think this is okay?"

Cheng Jin paused when she looked into Pei Yu's eyes. Pei Yu's eyes were like a gentle vortex, and if you didn't pay attention, you would forget everything and be deeply immersed in it.

But the method Pei Yu gave was indeed very good, and Cheng Jin couldn't say anything to refute it. She nodded in agreement with Pei Yu.

Pei Yu's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, "Okay, I'll go back and write out the prescription right away, give everyone a copy, and send it to the people later."

Cheng Jin looked at the night outside the door and smiled, "What time is it now? It's not the right time to be busy. Wait for you to go back and have a good rest. You can tell me if you need anything, and I can prepare it. Tomorrow we will go outside the city to see the people together."

Things took a turn for the better, and Cheng Jin's mood was particularly beautiful. Her attitude was much better than before.

Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside the city tomorrow."

"We have an appointment."

Cheng Jin raised her little finger towards Pei Yu, "It's a deal."

Cheng Jin was reading a book in the room while watching Pei Yu's back.

Pei Yu pushed the door open with a little force, as if something was blocking the door. When he opened the door, Pei Yu paused for a moment, chuckled to the side, but didn't say anything.
