Wang Xingren stayed at Zhang's house for the past few days. Seeing that the plague was under control, he said goodbye and prepared to return to the capital.
It's November now, and the wedding is just over two months away. As the groom, he has to go back and prepare.
Wang Xingren asked Zhang Hulan: "Aunt, when are you going to Beijing? I will send someone to pick you up in advance."
The journey was a bit far, so it would be good to have someone familiar to lead the way. Zhang Hulan said, "We might leave for the capital on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and clean up the house just in time for the New Year."
Wang Xingren nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone come over in advance."
After Wang Xingren left, Xiang Chunhua looked at Zhang Hulan eagerly.
Zhang Hulan was puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Xiang Chunhua looked pitiful and said, "Sister, I also want to go to the capital with you."
Zhang Hulan was speechless. "It's so far from the capital, and it will take several days on the road. How are you going to get there with a big belly? What if you give birth on the way?"
Xiang Chunhua said: "Sister, I calculated that I should give birth after the new year.
When you all leave, I will be alone at home. I also want to visit the capital, so you can let me go with you..."
"Tiger Soldier must stay home with you."
"Oh, sister, please let me go..."
Xiang Chunhua hugged Zhang Hulan's arm and shook her. Zhang Hulan got goose bumps all over her body. She found that Xiang Chunhua especially liked to act coquettishly towards her now...
But Zhang Hulan is a soft-hearted person and will not tolerate any toughness. If Xiang Chunhua gets angry and wants to go with them, Zhang Hulan will definitely not tolerate her.
But Xiang Chunhua acted coquettishly towards her, which made it impossible for her to say no.
Zhang Hulan said helplessly: "I can't promise you now, let's wait until the middle of the twelfth lunar month.
Please ask the doctor to check you out when the time comes. If there is nothing wrong with your body and it is not too long before you give birth, I will take you to the capital.
If your body doesn’t allow it, then nothing you say will work.”
Xiang Chunhua immediately nodded happily, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you then."
Now Xiang Chunhua always acts like a spoiled child to her, and Zhang Hulan is somewhat suspicious whether Xiang Chunhua has figured out her temper.
…
Capital city.
Emperor Yongxing was in a very bad mood these days as he received many reports that madness had occurred in many places.
Emperor Yongxing asked his courtiers, "My dear ministers, do you have any good ideas for this plague?"
The director of the Imperial Hospital came out and reported: "Your Majesty, this is not the first time that Pig Head Madness has appeared, and the government offices in various places have some experience in dealing with it.
There is currently no other good treatment method, and we can only try our best to ensure that medicinal materials that can reduce fever and inflammation are available in various places.
As long as there are enough medicinal materials, not too many people will die from pig-head madness, but the patients will feel a lot of pain and can only endure it.
But the medicinal materials are limited, which is a problem."
As he was speaking, a guard outside the palace came to report, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Changning County."
"Show it up."
The first reaction of Emperor Yongxing and his court officials was that the swine madness epidemic had also occurred in Changning County.
The chief eunuch hurried to bring the report to Emperor Yongxing.
Emperor Yongxing opened the report and a smile appeared on his face.
"My dear ministers, good news."
Emperor Yongxing asked the eunuch to take the report to the court officials, "My dear ministers, please take a look. Changning County has found an effective method to treat pig-head madness."
The head of the Imperial Hospital was the first to grab the report. After reading it, he was surprised and said, "Is it such a simple prescription?"
The second person to rush to report was Wu Bangtai. It was sent from Changning County and must be the report from his son, so he had to take a look at it quickly.
After reading it, he bowed to Emperor Yongxing and said loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is a great joyous event."
After reading it, the other court officials also congratulated Emperor Yongxing.
The report stated the time when the plague appeared and the effects of the medicine.
The effect can be seen in one day at the fastest and three days at the slowest. There has been significant improvement, and the prescription is very simple. Ordinary people can treat themselves at home. This is indeed a great thing.
This not only solves the current plague, but also means that the plague of swine madness will no longer be a problem in the future.
Emperor Yongxing was very happy, and many court officials were also genuinely happy.
But some court officials were not very happy because the report was sent by Wu Deyong.
It is impossible for ministers of any dynasty to be of one mind, and the emperor would not allow such a thing to happen.
Emperor Yongxing asked, "My dear ministers, this is indeed a great event. Wu Deyong has made a great contribution this time. How do you think we should reward him?"
Wu Bangtai immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, as a subject, I should share your worries. This is all within my job. But the person who offered the prescription should be rewarded."
The report also stated that the prescription was contributed by Zhang Hulan, and Wu Deyong even asked Emperor Yongxing for reward for Zhang Hulan.
Wu Bangtai was familiar with the name Zhang Hulan and had often heard Wu Deyong and Ye Hongyun mention it.
He also knew that Zhang Hulan's family and the Wang family were already related by marriage, so he also spoke up to commend Zhang Hulan.
The courtier who was at odds with Wu Bangtai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this prescription has just appeared, and we must check whether there are any side effects.
This is something you drink into your stomach, and once it is used, it will be used on a large scale. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. And..."
The minister paused for a moment, then continued, "Your Majesty, the report said that this prescription was directly donated, rather than being developed on the spur of the moment, which means that this prescription has existed for a long time, so why wasn't it donated before?
If it had been donated earlier, perhaps many deaths would have been avoided and the suffering of other patients could have been alleviated.
This person’s mind is not right…”
