Chapter 88 As long as you don't get rid of it, I will be angry
The imperial physicians read medical books and combined the patient's condition with their studies. They did not sleep for two days and two nights before they finally developed a preliminary antidote.
Sulfur, cow antler, angelica, purple cloud grass, etc. If these herbs are mixed and then let the soldiers take them, the disease should be quickly controlled.
Moreover, if taken by uninfected people, it can strengthen the body and reduce the chance of infection.
Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and smiled, "Fortunately, this time the epidemic has mostly infected the soldiers of the Black Armor Battalion. I believe they will recover quickly after taking the antidote."
Everyone in the Imperial Hospital breathed a sigh of relief and then ordered someone to report the news to the emperor.
"As long as there is an antidote, we won't be afraid of more people being infected."
After obtaining the emperor's permission, several doctors led their medicine boys to search for medicinal herbs.
These herbs are common, but they can easily mix with other herbs, so doctors have to do it themselves.
It’s just that other medicinal herbs are easy to collect, but the most effective purple cloud grass in the antidote is a scarce commodity.
It is said that it only grows in Linshi and Shu, and does not grow in other places.
The officers and soldiers rode at full speed to the nearby city, but when they returned, they all hung their heads and looked dejected.
"Those purple cloud grasses were bought by a mysterious person at a high price a few days ago. Now there's not a single blade of grass left on the market."
"Unless we go to Shu, but Shu is far away and the roads are difficult to travel. If we want to transport it to the capital, it will take at least ten days and half a month!"
The officers and soldiers came up empty-handed and failed to complete their mission, and they blamed themselves deeply.
The imperial doctors were once again in dire straits.
This epidemic is coming with great force. If there is no antidote, the sick soldiers will probably die one after another in five or six days. How can they wait for the purple cloud grass in Shu to save their lives?
"What should we do? Who is that mysterious person? Can we find him?"
"I can't find him. He's hiding very well, as if he calculated today for sure."
The court officials and soldiers naturally knew their limits in their actions and must have tried various methods before reaching such a conclusion.
The Kingdom of Dayu is so big that if someone wants to hide, he will definitely not be found.
"Report—"
At this time, the medicine boys in charge of the epidemic rushed in again, "Reporting to all the imperial doctors, the number of patients infected with the disease is increasing, and they are almost all concentrated in the Xuanjia Camp."
"They are currently barely breathing, unable to finish their food and soup, and are hanging on by a thread."
"General Pei, the commander of the Xuanjia Camp, is in a worse state. He's already talking nonsense, mumbling and shouting..."
The little medicine boy glanced at Shen Yuning timidly and told the news: "General Pei is mumbling Doctor Shen's name."
Doctor Zhang nodded. "Yes, he also knows that Doctor Shen is a skilled doctor, and he hopes that Doctor Shen can save her."
He deliberately diverted Pei Yanzhou's attention to medical skills to ease Shen Yuning's embarrassment.
He is experienced in dealing with people and was once a subordinate of Shen's father, so he will naturally help her.
"What should we do? Why did this disease target the Xuanjia Battalion?"
"If something happens to the Black Armor Camp, then the only elite troops left in Dayu Kingdom are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Blue Dragon Guards. However, Dayu is so vast that we cannot afford to lose any of our troops."
The imperial doctors sighed deeply to the sky, and even at their old age with gray hair, they sobbed in front of everyone.
They blamed all the mistakes on themselves, always feeling that they were derelict in their duty by not developing the antidote.
"If I die and you can get the Purple Cloud Grass, you can even sacrifice my life for it!" Doctor Zhang burst into tears and couldn't help crying.
"Yes, we also wish we could die. What a sin! Who has the Purple Cloud Grass?" Some imperial doctors stood up and sighed.
Compared to these old doctors, Shen Yuning was even more anxious.
As a doctor and a former soldier of the Xuanjia Battalion, she felt worse than anyone else.
The plague was so severe this time that they had no time to care about the strangeness of it. They just wanted to find the purple cloud grass as soon as possible.
At this moment, a young eunuch rushed into the Imperial Hospital and asked, "Doctor Shen, Doctor Shen, where is Doctor Shen?"
He was extremely anxious, and when he saw Shen Yuning, he hurriedly said, “Doctor Shen, someone sent you a message, asking you to come to a gathering at East Lake.”
"They said that as long as you come over, you can have as much Purple Cloud Grass as you want, for free!"
——
East Lake is the place Shen Yuning is most reluctant to go to.
Pei Yan fell into the water here. Although she had lost her memory for half a year and had forgotten the experience, she still stopped instinctively when she stepped into this place again.
Ye Feng followed behind her, "Doctor Shen, the other soldiers and I will be waiting for you here. If anything happens, just give us a shout and we will come right over."
This location is excellent, and they can see the pavilion opposite from afar. If Shen Yuning encounters any danger, they can arrive in time.
Shen Yuning suppressed the discomfort in her heart and slowly walked towards the pavilion in East Lake.
For the sake of the Purple Cloud Grass and the safety of the soldiers, she would not give up any opportunity even if there was a trap.
The night gradually darkened. She waited for a long time but did not see the mysterious man. When she was about to get up and leave, a familiar figure suddenly came into her sight.
"Sister Yuning--" Chu Ruyan appeared in front of her, supported by Hong Gu.
She was wearing jewels and heavy makeup, and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood.
"Chu Ruyan, why are you here?" She stood up with a look of disbelief on her face.
Chu Ruyan smiled triumphantly and took out the token they had agreed on. "Sister Yuning, you didn't expect that, did you? I asked you to come here today. I wanted to talk to you about Brother Yanzhou!"
"Chu Ruyan, are you crazy? Are you still in the mood to talk about sex at this time?"
She raised her voice and immediately wanted to leave. "The soldiers are waiting for me to save their lives. I don't have time to chat with you."
Chu Ruyan blocked her way and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be angry, it won't take you too long to save the dying and the wounded."
"I invited you here because Pei Yanzhou still has evil intentions towards you and I couldn't sleep or eat well!"
"Chu Ruyan, go somewhere else and be sad. I don't have time." She fiercely shook her hand away, her eyes blazing with anger. "The soldiers are already so sick, and your fiancé is among them. Are you still going crazy?"
Pei Yanzhou frowned in the distance. Although he couldn't hear what Shen Yuning and the others were saying, he could guess that Chu Ruyan was making a fuss.
Chu Ruyan was not angry even after being scolded. She smiled sinisterly: "Sister is indeed a person with great martial arts skills. She is always aggressive towards ordinary people like us. It scares me to death."
"You're very busy, and your time is precious. Isn't my time precious too? Didn't you guess that I was the buyer of the Purple Cloud Grass?"
"It was you? You bought all the Purple Cloud Grass a few days ago?" Shen Yuning stopped and looked at Chu Ruyan in disbelief. "Then why didn't you save the Xuanjia Camp? They're all so sick."
Chu Ruyan will marry into the general's mansion on the eighth day of next month and become the general's wife. She doesn't understand why she has hidden the purple cloud grass until now.
"Hey, is Sister Shen willing to stop and listen to me?"
Chu Ruyan raised her chin and slowly walked to the stone bench and sat down. "That's right, everyone's time is important. You help save people, and I'm busy getting married."
"I was abducted by the people from the Black Wind Village that day. I heard that they would attack the soldiers of the Black Armor Camp, so I was cautious and bought the Purple Cloud Grass in advance."
"You don't know that this plague was developed by them."
"Chu Ruyan, Pei Yanzhou is your fiancé, I don't understand your intention!" Shen Yuning spoke to her patiently, but her fists were slowly clenched.
"Because I want to take credit!" Chu Ruyan answered frankly, "I want to use the Purple Cloud Grass to achieve my own goals!"
She laughed heartily. "Without the Purple Cloud Grass, how can I control that fickle bitch Pei Yanzhou? And how can I control you, a vixen?"
"Chen Yuning, as long as you don't get rid of it, Pei Yanzhou will worry about you and think about you. Maybe he will even look for you on his wedding night."
