As Tian An was about to reach the Duke of Anguo's mansion, he saw from a distance a group of servants guarding the mansion about ten feet away. They surrounded the mansion, almost guarding it with a guard every ten steps.
It is said that these servants were spontaneously organized by people living in several nearby mansions. Their purpose was to defend the Duke's Mansion and not allow people inside to leave to prevent the spread of smallpox.
After the carriage stopped, Tian An took out a mask and a pair of medical gloves from his bag and put them on. He then took the bag from Deng Xue's shoulders, said a few words to her, and was about to leave.
Deng Xue saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly pulled her back, "Miss, you won't take me with you?"
Tian An gently pulled her hand away and patted her, saying, "I'm going to treat a patient. Too many people will cause chaos. Remember what I just said. Stay at home and wait for me to come back."
Then he walked towards the Anguo Mansion without looking back.
As expected, the guard stopped Tian An, and Tian An said directly: "I am a doctor, and I have come here specifically to treat the young master of the Anguo Mansion."
The leading servant was stunned. Looking at Tian An in front of him, he couldn't help but remind her, "Little girl, think carefully. This is not a joke. If you go in now, we won't let you out until An Fu's illness is completely cured."
Tian An nodded, "Don't worry! I won't come out until I cure the illness of the young master of the Anguo Mansion."
The servant looked at the stubborn Tian An and reluctantly let him go. Worried about the condition of the young master of the An family, Tian An trotted directly towards the gate of the Anguo Mansion.
After knocking for a long time, the doorman finally opened the door. He was stunned to see Tian An. He didn't expect that someone would dare to come to their Duke's Mansion.
However, he still said the same thing: "Miss, the Duke's Mansion is closed to visitors, please go back!"
Tian An directly avoided him and walked inside, "I am a doctor, I am here to treat your young master. Time is urgent, please lead the way."
The doorman couldn't help but get excited, but then he reminded her: "Miss, our young master has smallpox, you..."
Tian An nodded, "I know. Lead the way quickly. Time is life. The sooner we arrive, the sooner your young master can get better."
Seeing this, the doorman said no more. After telling others to watch the door, he took Tian An and quickly ran to the backyard.
When Gu Jinyan and the others arrived, Tian An had already entered the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
Deng Xue, who was waiting on the side, saw them coming and hurried forward to tell Gu Jinyan and Nanny Xiao what Tian An had instructed her to do. Then she broke into the encirclement of the servants at lightning speed and followed them into the Anguo Mansion.
Gu Jinyan and Nanny Xiao reacted and wanted to follow, but were stopped by Xiao Chen and the coachman. "Miss Tian has already gone in. You two can't follow and cause trouble."
Madam Xiao immediately said, "Please let me in. I have lived long enough and am not afraid of smallpox."
Gu Jinyan was not to be outdone, "It was all because of me that An An went to jail. If anything happens to her, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. I want to go in and accompany her."
Seeing that the two men were as stubborn as cows, Xiao Chen tried to persuade them no matter what, so he waved his hand and forcibly pulled them onto the carriage.
"You two calm down. Let's go find Zhao Yiming and General Tian first and discuss it later." After Xiao Chen said this, he ordered the coachman to rush to Songshan Academy immediately.
On this side, the doorman took Tian An all the way to the young master's courtyard, but met Duke An Guo and his wife at the door.
The youngest son had been ill for many days, and most of the maids and servants in the courtyard had also collapsed. Madam An was so upset that she was about to rush into the courtyard, but she was held tightly by the Duke of Anguo, whose eyes were already red.
Madam An begged, "Master, please let me in! Kun'er will be scared if he's alone in there."
Duke Anguo was also worried about his youngest son, but he still had some sense and knew what to do and what not to do. Seeing his wife's agitation, he could only coax her softly, "Our Kun'er will be fine. Madam, please take good care of yourself. It's the same for us to stay here and look after Kun'er."
As he spoke, he shouted towards the yard, "Kun'er, you are a real man. It's just smallpox. I will definitely hold you back. Don't be afraid. Your father and your mother are right outside with you."
Tian An stood in the distance, watching this scene, his eyes welling up. He raised his head to hold back the tears that were about to overflow, then quickly walked towards the two people.
"Greetings to Duke Anguo and Madam An. Tian An is here to treat the young master. Please forgive me for coming here uninvited."
After greeting the Duke and Madam An, she walked straight towards the courtyard without caring about their reactions. By the time they realized what was happening, she had already entered the courtyard and was about to close the gate.
"Miss, wait for me."
Deng Xue ran all the way and finally squeezed into the yard at the last moment.
The Duke of Anguo and his wife came to their senses and pointed at the gate, wondering, "Who is this?"
The doorman who arrived later hurriedly explained, "Master, Madam, this young lady claims to be a doctor and is here specifically to treat the young master."
"Then, the one behind is..."
The other doorman who brought Deng Xue in ran up breathlessly and said, "That's the young lady's maid. She said she was here to take care of her."
The couple looked at the tightly closed gate and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. Since the other party dared to come even though they knew it was smallpox, they must be sure of it!
Duke Anguo thought for a moment and then said loudly to the courtyard, "Miss, we are right outside. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask."
Then he ordered people to bring tables and chairs, and he wanted to stay here and accompany his son personally.
In the courtyard, after Tian An responded to Duke Anguo, he took out a mask and gloves with a helpless look and asked Deng Xue to wear them. He also gave her a smallpox vaccination before taking her into the house.
The situation in the house was more serious than Tian An had imagined. The maids were probably infected. They were lying limply on the ground with rashes on their faces.
And the doctor who came first, as Gu Jinyan mentioned, no one knew where he had gone.
On the bed in the inner room, a boy of eight or nine years old was lying alone. His face was flushed and his breathing was obviously rapid. The situation was not optimistic.
Tian An quickly took out a bottle of disinfectant from his bag and handed it to Deng Xue, asking her to disinfect the entire yard and then began to treat the boy.
After quickly checking his condition, Tian An took out a syringe from the space and started giving him intravenous infusion.
His fever was already over 38 degrees Celsius, and he needed to be cooled quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. After careful consideration, Tian An chose a Western medicine that would work quickly and have minimal side effects. He planned to stabilize the condition first and then use traditional Chinese medicine to treat it.
After dealing with the emergency, he was given a cooling patch.
Then he went to check on the others.
