"The day after the emperor received the letter, he held a court meeting and cried his poverty. At first, it was fake crying, but later his eyes turned red."
"In the end, it was the Right Prime Minister who suggested that those with money could donate money, and those without money could donate people. If you don't donate money, we will go to Qinzhou to help you, Princess."
"Everyone was worried that if they didn't come up with something, the Daning Daily would definitely write something unflattering, so they ended up agreeing with tears in their eyes."
"This time we came here, we brought a total of 800,000 taels of medicinal materials. The remaining 200,000 taels were used to make gas suits and masks according to the princess's instructions."
A few days later, Qin Yu appeared in the Qinzhou Villa with more than ten doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau, piles of medicinal materials, and the things she ordered.
This place is a courtyard specially purchased by the prefect of Qinzhou. It is quite large and connected to several surrounding households, which is enough for patients who have been infected with the epidemic to live in.
Although there were a lot of frictions during the quarantine, fortunately Gu Qingchen was present. Everyone felt relieved when they saw that the prince who had come to provide disaster relief had returned.
Soon, the ladies and daughters of the wealthy families, as well as the second batch of infected servants, were all brought to this villa.
"Put on a mask and a hazmat suit before coming in."
Jiang Li glanced at the people who came from the capital to support him, and no longer had time to be moved.
Although the masks and so-called "anti-gas suits" here are made of cloth and do not have a particularly good isolation effect, fortunately Jiang Li asked them to prepare a lot of them, which can be changed every half a day and the ones taken off can be burned directly.
It can still ensure safety to a certain extent.
"That's right."
Jiang Li turned around and looked at them one by one. "I'm telling you all in advance that they've contracted an epidemic. Even I can't guarantee that my own people won't be infected while treating patients. In fact, in the coming days, there's a high chance that you might be infected at any time. You can plan for the worst-case scenario."
"Once you step through this threshold, there's no turning back until this disease is cured. So, do you still want to come in?"
Jiang Li's tone was serious, and everyone looked at each other.
"To put it nicely, I'm an imperial physician, but ultimately, I'm still a doctor. As a doctor, it's my duty to heal and save lives!"
"That's right, Princess, if you're not afraid of death, what should we, grown men, be afraid of?"
"After all, he is still the imperial physician. We cannot abandon the people of the Imperial Hospital."
Everyone looked through the courtyard behind Jiang Li and saw many folk doctors busying around there. An inexplicable power emanated from the bottom of their hearts.
"Colleagues, I'll go first."
Doctor You picked up the protective suit and mask beside him, put them on quickly, and then walked into the yard with the medicine box on his back without looking back.
"Hey! You see, this old You is being competitive, isn't he? Just wait, I'm coming too."
"And me."
"Hurry up, don't block me."
“…”
After the doctors had gone in, Jiang Li glanced at Qin Yu and said, "Didn't I tell you that this place is dangerous and you don't need to come? Why did you bring so many people here? Just take care of the logistics."
Qin Yu said as he put on his sterile clothes, "You are my master. How could I let you fight here alone?"
Glancing at the backs of those people, Qin Yu smiled and said, "In fact, it's not just them. Other imperial physicians also wanted to come, but the palace couldn't be completely empty, so we selected some and brought them here."
After saying that, Qin Yu also walked in carrying his medicine box.
As he passed by Jiang Li, he bowed respectfully and said, "I have been in the Imperial Hospital for so many years, and I have never seen the doctors work together like this. Master, you are worthy of being the Supervisor of the Imperial Hospital."
Jiang Li felt an inexplicable pang of pain in her heart. Why was she so suddenly moved?
"Princess, come and look here."
"Okay, here I come!"
Hearing Bai Zhi's voice, Jiang Li also hurried into the yard.
The second wave of the disease has officially begun. If we don’t hurry up, it will be too late.
"Your Majesty, you can't go in!"
Jiang Yao had already arrived in Qinzhou with his troops two days ago.
As soon as they arrived, they fenced off the Qinzhou Villa, one to prevent anyone from sneaking out, and the other to prevent healthy people from sneaking in.
When Jiang Yao saw Gu Qingchen, his temples began to throb with pain.
If he hadn't come, Prince Jingling would have put himself in danger.
"I have explained everything that needs to be said about the outside world. I am going in to accompany the princess."
Gu Qingchen's face was extremely dark. He had had enough of these days!
"Father-in-law! Please let me in, I beg you."
Jiang Yao's face was serious, and he said calmly: "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. I hope Your Majesty will not embarrass us."
Gu Qingchen looked self-deprecating.
How could this be possible?
My wife is so busy in there that she has no time to rest, and her life is in danger at any time.
Instead, he was left waiting outside.
“Squeak—”
The gate to the courtyard was ajar.
"Your Highness, the princess said that the medicinal materials are insufficient and asked you to contact Master Hua immediately."
Although Mo Xiaoxiao was very nervous, she also knew that according to her prince's temper, he would definitely not leave easily unless the princess found something for him to do.
Gu Qingchen narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a while before he responded, "This King understands."
Then he turned and left.
How could he not know Jiang Li's intention?
That night, with the reinforcements from Qin Yu and others, Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Li took the dinner handed to him by Bai Zhi and just took two bites when he heard someone come to report that a patient and the doctor were making a fuss.
"Princess, please finish your meal before you go. It will get cold soon."
Bai Zhi had just started to persuade her when Jiang Li had already changed his clothes and stood up to leave.
"What's going on?"
When Jiang Li arrived outside the room where the troublemaker was, she could hear a woman crying from inside.
"In reply to the princess, the second young lady insisted on leaving here. She said she would rather die of illness outside than stay here any longer."
The person who was speaking was Xiu'er. Her symptoms were discovered in time, and she had been treated with gold needles by Jiang Li in the past few days, so her condition had not deteriorated much.
Therefore, she stayed here with another maid to take care of Mei Qiuyi's stepmother and half-sister.
Wearing a mask, Jiang Li pushed the door open and walked in.
The doctor inside was immediately delighted when he saw the visitor.
She used her hands to grab at her coat, which had been pulled off for the most part, and said, "Princess, this...what should I do?"
Jiang Li stepped forward and grabbed Mei Sisi's wrist. With a slight force, the woman felt like being pricked by needles, and her hand suddenly lost its strength.
After Mei Sisi let go of her hand, the doctor quickly stepped aside.
Jiang Li waved at him, motioning him to go out first.
"You can't leave!" Mei Sisi shouted anxiously, "Tell me I'm not sick! Let me out! I want to leave this damn place!"
"Mei Sisi." Jiang Li looked at the woman in front of him and saw that she was in much better spirits than a few days ago.
Jiang Li asked coldly, "Are you okay?"
