Su Xiaoxiao hit Doctor Zheng's weak spot with one move, and Doctor Zheng went out to guard it in shame.

He didn't believe that Su Xiaoxiao could cure smallpox.

From her voice, she seems to be a very young girl. She probably doesn't even have much experience in practicing medicine. I don't understand why His Highness invited such a person here.

The house next door.

The imperial doctors, led by Chu Yuanpan, were discussing the young prince's condition.

"Do you have any good remedies?"

It was a long time since Judge Chu had finished speaking, and no one dared to respond to him.

If it were any other disease, it would be easy to deal with, but smallpox is an incurable disease, and even if Hua Tuo were alive again, he would be helpless.

Judge Chu looked at the gray-haired imperial physician on his left and said, "Imperial Physician Liu, I heard that you once cured a case of smallpox."

Doctor Liu smiled awkwardly: "That prescription... may not work for the young prince. He is weak and cannot be given strong medicine. Otherwise, he will die before his illness is cured."

The other doctors nodded in agreement.

Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief. The truth was that he had indeed treated a smallpox patient in his early years, but that patient did not get better by taking his medicine, but survived on his own luck. Later, he used the same prescription to treat other smallpox patients, but all of them failed without exception.

"How did the young prince contract smallpox..."

Judge Chu glanced at the young imperial physician sitting at the end and said sternly, "This is not something you should worry about."

"Yes." The young doctor hastened to admit his mistake.

The judge of Chu said, "What good prescriptions, folk remedies, acupuncture techniques do you have? Bring them out. Don't think you can be safe without treatment. Your Majesty loves the little prince. If his life cannot be saved, the entire Imperial Hospital will be held accountable!"

Everyone was completely disheartened when they heard this.

This is smallpox, not some other disease.

After discussing for a long time, everyone still couldn't come up with a suitable treatment plan.

Judge Chu glanced around and asked, "You all came here, who is guarding the young prince over there?"

Doctor Zhang replied, "It's Doctor Zheng and Doctor Liang."

Judge Chu frowned and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

Doctor Zheng lingered at the door for a long time and almost rushed in to stop Su Xiaoxiao several times, but he finally held back.

"What is this girl doing? Can she be cured?"

"Your Highness is so foolish to hand the prince's life over to a maid!"

"No, I have to go find His Highness!"

Doctor Zheng had just taken two steps when the voices of Chu Yuanpan and others came from the end of the corridor.

"I'll follow the prescription in a moment. Get me a dose of medicine first."

"Yes, Your Excellency, I'll take note of that."

not good!

Someone is coming! Doctor Zheng pushed open the door and walked in quickly. He said to Su Xiaoxiao behind the screen, "Chu Yuanpan is here! Stop it now!"

"alright."

Su Xiaoxiao put the last cotton swab that had been used to stop the bleeding back into her purse and said, "I'm leaving first."

Doctor Zheng looked at her, then looked at the little prince who seemed to be fine, and said hesitantly, "Okay, go ahead."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I just gave him an acupuncture, so there are some needle marks on his body."

In fact, there are also injections, but there is no need to explain this in detail.

When Chu Yuanpan came over, Su Xiaoxiao had already left.

When Judge Chu saw that only Doctor Zheng was in the room, he couldn't help but ask, "Where's Doctor Liang?"

Doctor Zheng suppressed his guilt and said, "He... just gave the young prince an acupuncture injection and went to change his clothes."

They knew that smallpox was contagious, so they used cloth towels to cover their mouths and noses. They would immediately wash their hands with soap after contact with patients. If the contact area was large, they would wash their entire body and change clothes.

"Acupuncture?" Judge Chu came to the bed, touched the young prince's forehead, and felt his pulse. "It's still very hot."

It seems that it has no effect... Alas, what was he expecting just now? Can a little girl make the young prince's smallpox better? Doctor Zheng laughed at himself.

"Doctor Zheng, please go down and eat something first. Come back in half an hour. You will be on duty tonight."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

…

Doctor Zheng had no appetite, so he ate a few bites and then came to change shifts.

He felt that his good days were over. Why did he have to try so hard to get into the Imperial Medical Bureau, and why did he have to encounter a disease like smallpox?

He walked over and was about to cover the young prince with the quilt, but he noticed that the quilt was damp.

He frowned and touched the young prince's clothes.

It was all wet! The little prince... was sweating?! He almost stumbled out of the room, shouting, "Your Excellency the Court Judge! Your Excellency the Court Judge! The little prince's fever has subsided!"

…

Su Xiaoxiao took off her mask and gloves and met Wei Ting and Moye in a nearby pavilion. After Su Xiaoxiao gave them a few brief instructions, she left the house with Wei Ting.

Before leaving, Moye asked them where they lived.

Wei Ting said: "Moon Chaser Inn."

Back at the inn, Wei Ting asked Fusu to go back to his room to rest. He put the sleeping kids in bed one by one, and then asked Su Xiaoxiao:

"Are you sure about the condition of the young prince?"

Su Xiaoxiao took off her nightgown: "It's hard to say for now."

She gave the young prince medicine, and his fever should go down and he should be able to sleep well tonight, but he will definitely have a high fever again tomorrow, and it will happen again for three to five days, and he will be considered to have passed the critical period after he gets through it.

Wei Ting looked at her frown and said, "When you treated Grandfather, Sixth Brother, and me, you were never so distressed."

All three of them have one foot in the gate of hell.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head gently: "The situation this time is different."

The injuries of Qin Canglan, Wei Liulang and Wei Ting are her areas of expertise, and she has enough appropriate medicines to treat them.

There is no targeted drug for smallpox, and there is not even any clinical treatment experience, because smallpox had long been extinct in her previous life.

"You go to sleep first, I'll look at the medical records."

"I'll accompany you." Wei Ting also took off his nightgown.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't refuse.

She took out a pen and paper and carefully wrote down two medical records.

One copy contained her observations and diagnoses just now, and the other contained the observations and diagnoses made by the imperial doctors she had seen in the young prince's house. She memorized them word for word.

Putting the two medical records together, the young prince's illness process became clear.

She listed more than a dozen prescriptions, deliberated over them over and over again, and finally determined the final dosage plan.

"I've brought all these herbs. I need to buy these now... I'll go to the herbal medicine store tomorrow."

She came out with a collar.

Wei Ting discovered that she had the habit of talking to herself when she was immersed in something, which was not abrupt at all, but rather a serious and cute look.

Wei Ting rested his elbows on the table, supported his temple with one hand, and looked at her meaningfully.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know that Wei Ting was so close to her. After she circled the last medicinal ingredient, she turned her head and almost kissed him.

She was stunned for a moment, looking at the slightly raised corners of his lips, and couldn't help but think of the kiss that was interrupted by Fusu.

She swallowed.

Wei Ting suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed the back of her head, and pressed his lips against her soft lips.

Different from her light kiss, his kiss was overbearing and passionate, enveloping her whole body with his unique hormonal scent.

Su Xiaoxiao's heart began beating rapidly, as if a little deer had entered her heart.

He slowly let her go, and the slightly calloused fingertips of his thumb gently stroked her tender and swollen lips.

Her chest heaved violently, her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were misty.

She touched her hot cheek.

We've done more intimate things before, so why would she be so flustered just because of a kiss?

…

After midnight, it suddenly rained heavily in Xidu.

A carriage escorted by the Black Armored Army came galloping in the heavy rain and stopped outside the back door of the Zhuyue Inn.

The driver opened the back door of the carriage, lowered the carriage board, and held up the oil-paper umbrella: "Sir, we're here."

Brother Ting: Second Brother can’t have too many tickets to appear. I can’t let him be more impressive than me. He’s worth at most three votes! 　　Second Brother raised his knife: What did you say?

Brother Ting: Thirty votes, thirty votes for my second brother!
