Upon hearing this, the two soldiers expressed their gratitude, took the masks from Lao Liu with both hands, and put them on their faces.
"When you go back, remember to wash your hands frequently. It's dangerous for you to be on duty here. Okay, you can go back. I will go in by myself."
"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Princess."
Lao Liu took the medicine box from Chao Ge's hand and hurriedly took Chao Ge up the stairs and headed towards the patient's house.
Looking at Chaoge's disappearing back, the two soldiers looked at each other, turned around and went back the way they came.
"Princess Mo is so approachable. I heard that during today's medical competition, Princess Mo is a ruthless character. On the competition stage, she made Nan Yan and Gong Xu suffer a fate worse than death. She also forced Nan Yan and Gong Xu to drink a cup full of poison filled with maggots. I heard that Nan Yan and Gong Xu was so sick that he hurriedly vomited before the poison took effect. Princess Mo is so powerful and ruthless. Why does it feel like what I saw tonight is not what everyone said?"
After Zhang Jin finished speaking, Liu Wu beside him snorted coldly, "It's Nan Yan Gong Xu who made up the competition rules himself. I happened to be on duty at the scene today and saw it clearly.
I was also fortunate enough to see the princess' true appearance from afar. The princess was so beautiful and she was a perfect match for the Regent.
However, rumors say that Princess Mo is cruel, and I admit that it is true, but I believe that the reason why Princess Mo can appear here tonight must be because of her kindness as a doctor.
And Nan Yan Gong Xu didn't go too far and force Doctor Dong, so how could Princess Mo treat her like that? "
"I see. You are so lucky to see the real face of Princess Mo. But Princess Mo was so approachable. Even though we were just small soldiers, Princess Mo didn't put on airs in front of us. She even cared about us so much.
There are so many nobles in this capital, but I have never seen anyone like Princess Mo. No wonder the Regent dotes on her so much."
The voices of the two people's discussion gradually faded away, and Chaoge had already stepped into the isolation area.
It was not yet midnight, but there were only a few doctors here. However, from the houses in the yard, waves of groans and groans continued to be heard, but no one went to check.
Three doctors were drinking tea in the front hall, each with a medical book beside them. They looked like they were trying to find a solution to the current illness, but when Chaoge walked to the door, he saw the three of them just killing time.
"Alas, I don't know when this will end. In just a few days, nearly a thousand people have been infected. Fortunately, the higher-ups gave the order in time to seal off the entire North City. Otherwise, we doctors would have been busy."
"Yes, Doctor Wang is right, but it's better than staying in the palace. Recently, the Queen Mother has been..."
Having said this, the imperial physician, who felt that he had spoken too fast, immediately shut his mouth, laughed, and tried to play it safe.
When Doctor Wang saw him like this, he seemed to understand and laughed along with him, then let the matter go.
But the laughter of the two of them was really harsh compared to the wailing cries coming from the patients in the rooms next door.
"How long will it take until midnight? My old bones can't bear it any longer. Others on shift really need to come on time."
After laughing, Doctor Wang stood up, stretched, and slumped his back, looking exhausted.
"I'll take over your shift, you guys go down and have a rest."
As soon as Doctor Wang finished speaking, Chaoge's voice came from the door, and he stepped over the threshold and walked straight in.
The three doctors who were chatting were suddenly shocked when they saw someone walking in. They stood up and looked towards Chaoge vigilantly.
Unfortunately, Chaoge was wearing a mask. Before going out today, she wore the simplest clothes, which were gray to resist getting dirty. She looked no different from ordinary people. There was only a simple silver hairpin on her head, and no other attire.
"Doctor, why do you look so unfamiliar?"
In the next yard, there is a female doctor, but she is from the public. She was a doctor from the Beijing Medical Clinic who was dispatched by the government when the disease first broke out.
But there were very few female doctors, only two in total, and they were not young either, one in her forties and the other in her fifties. Although Chaoge did not show her face, her figure and voice sounded so youthful.
She stood in the middle of the main hall and confused the three doctors.
In order to see the faces of these doctors clearly, Chaoge directly asked Lao Liu to stay outside the door and not come in.
Looking at the three people's vigilant expressions, Chaoge, who was wearing a mask, smiled faintly.
"There are so many doctors here, and it's not surprising that some of them don't know me. But I just don't understand why they are chatting and laughing here instead of going to those rooms to care for the patients?
As soon as I came in, I heard many patients groaning and moaning. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the doctors to do this, right?"
After saying that, Chaoge looked at the few people again.
Among the three, two of them were still wearing the official uniforms of imperial physicians, and one was wearing casual clothes, presumably just a civilian doctor in the capital.
As soon as Chaoge said this, Doctor Wang, who had been somewhat vigilant just now, suddenly became gloomy!
"Oh, you are so arrogant. You are just a female doctor, and you want to teach us how to do things?"
"Yes, since you are so kind, then go and take care of them."
Another young man in the uniform of an imperial physician also confronted Chaoge directly. He did not feel guilty at all and looked righteous.
Hearing this, Chaoge nodded, and his eyes, which were originally smiling, became even colder.
"Hey, everyone, please don't hurt the harmony. This doctor looks unfamiliar. Are you new here? I have been here for several days and I haven't seen you before."
The doctor in casual clothes, seeing that the two imperial physicians were about to use their official power to intimidate Chaoge, hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.
Chaoge nodded calmly, "I heard that the number of patients in the north of the city is increasing day by day, so I went to the government office to ask for admission, but I didn't expect that the doctors here are indifferent to the patients and are still chatting and laughing here.
Just now, I could hear your laughter even outside the door. Have you ever thought about how the patients in the rooms would feel if they heard it?"
"Why should I care about their feelings? It's not me who made them sick. Besides, they have smallpox, which is contagious. We are responsible for delivering medicine to their doorsteps every day and distributing food to them on time. It's already good enough. Do you want us to take care of them personally? Haha, do you think your life is too long?"
Doctor Wang, who was the most arrogant, became more and more angry in the face of Chaoge's questions, and his words became more and more impolite.
"Yes, we are all doctors. You should also know that smallpox has no cure, right? We just give them some medicine to comfort them. As long as they are lucky enough to survive, they will live. If they can't survive, we can do nothing about it!"
