"It's okay, what happened to you today?"
"How offensive! The fevers of those patients subsided quickly after taking the medicine."
"I and other doctors have checked his pulse, and it's stable. The medicine is indeed the right one for him."
Doctor Zhang said anxiously in a low voice, fearing that he had offended others.
Ah Zi was dissatisfied and said, "The plague has only just started. How could a little girl like her possibly have the right medicine?"
"Uncle Zhang, could this plague have been caused intentionally by someone with ulterior motives?"
"I think it was Miss Qiu's elders who created the plague, and then sent their own people out to rescue people, gaining a good reputation. If they are lucky, they can even receive a reward from the court."
When these words were spoken, the other doctors were also shocked.
When I think about it carefully, it is true. It has been less than half a month and the right medicine has come out.
"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. If you have a dirty mind, you will think that everyone else is dirty."
"The plague initially spread from the south. Yinong's family lives in Huaiqin Mansion. Tell me, how did she do it?"
"I'm telling you again, this medicine for your condition was either made by one of Yinong's senior disciples or she developed it herself."
"Don't even mention it. Even if Mo Cheng has developed a prescription for the symptoms, you're stupid, but do you really think everyone else is stupid?"
Hearing Ge Qingqing's angry curses, the doctors all lowered their heads.
In their spare time, they were also researching prescriptions, but they had just found a little clue and didn't expect that others had already been able to develop drugs.
"Miss Qiu is indeed very outstanding. She is so young. If she were a man, she could become an imperial physician in the palace."
"What's wrong with being a girl?" Ge Qingqing was dissatisfied again.
Seeing her arguing with everyone, Qiu Yinong said, "Qingqing, come and help. Doctor Zhang and the others have been working hard recently. Don't disturb their rest."
"Okay, I'm coming." Ge Qingqing knew that Qiu Yinong was protecting her daughter's reputation, so she responded readily.
Ah Zi was blinded by jealousy. She was beautiful and smart, and she developed the right medicine at such a young age.
She also has such a good fiancé. How come? This woman has everything.
Ah Zi glared at the busy Qiu Yinong and his group with resentment, then looked at Doctor Zhang who was talking to others with an excited look on his face.
She turned quietly and left the house.
When Doctor Zhang came to his senses and remembered her, she was no longer in the village.
Doctor Zhang was so anxious that he asked the villagers and refugees who had just recovered to help look for her. It was a servant guarding the carriage under Ge Qingqing who kindly told them that they knew that A Zi had left the village by herself in an ox cart.
"This child has never been like this before. What happened today? Why did he leave the village on his ox cart without saying a word?"
"How can I explain this to her parents and relatives?" Doctor Zhang was extremely anxious.
Qiu Yinong shook her head and said, "Maybe I know where she went."
"Hmm?" Everyone's eyes fell on Qiu Yinong at the same time.
Qiu Yinong said, "That 'Changping County Lady' who knows medicine is currently in Chengnan Prefecture. She must have gone to look for that 'County Lady'."
"Why would she go so far away?" Doctor Zhang was puzzled.
Qiu Yinong smiled: "Because she knew that I, a young woman who hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, had the right medicine in my hands, and she wanted to use me as a raft, as a stepping stone."
When these words came out, Doctor Zhang opened his mouth in astonishment, and could hardly believe his ears.
The other doctors also started whispering, and Doctor Zhang looked very unhappy.
"It would have been fine if he was a little willful in the past, but now he's trying to steal the credit for other people's work!"
Doctor Zhang was extremely angry. If Ah Zi was in front of him now, Qiu Yinong believed that Doctor Zhang would give Ah Zi a good slap.
"I'm sorry, as Ah Zi's master, I didn't teach her well. Young ladies, thank you for your help today. You should leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning."
"It would take her at least five days to get to the capital city by oxcart. Even if she used a horse carriage, it would still take three days to get back."
"It's okay." Qiu Yinong was no longer in a hurry.
To be honest, Doctor Zhang knew better than anyone else who A Zi was, but he was on good terms with A Zi's parents.
He also promised to take her as his disciple, so he couldn't go back on his word.
In fact, as long as it does not involve her interests, under normal circumstances, A Zi is still a hard-working and willing-to-learn girl.
Doctor Zhang is now extremely frightened. He used to run a pharmacy in the provincial capital, but he had to come back because he offended the powerful.
He was most aware of the methods of the powerful and wealthy. He had heard before that the Princess of Changping was favored by the royal family, saved the Queen Mother, and was adopted as a daughter by the emperor.
But who can guarantee that the county lady is really so noble that she looks down on other people's achievements?
If she also wants to climb up further and become a princess, then the prescription for this plague will definitely be a huge temptation for her.
But the girl in front of him was still young and didn't understand the twists and turns here at all. Or maybe, she was protected too well by her elders and couldn't see the dangers of the world.
But he had felt it himself and couldn't bear to see this good girl suffer.
"My two lords, we will not seek fame or gain in saving these refugees this time. Please listen to me and take Miss Qiu away tomorrow."
"Those powerful people may appear glamorous on the surface, but they are actually corrupt inside. If the county lady takes a fancy to this prescription, you will get into trouble if you don't give it to her, and you will get into trouble if you give it to her."
Doctor Zhang said anxiously, and the other doctors looked at each other and finally nodded in persuasion.
Chu Hongyun raised his hand and then said, "Doctor Zhang, please relax. I won't make things difficult for you."
Seeing that they were so persistent, Doctor Zhang didn't know what to say.
Not only did Qiu Yinong and the others not leave, Li Ao also set up three tents in an open space in the village for Qiu Yinong and the others to rest.
Doctor Zhang also discovered that there were many of them, and there were guards and patrols at night, so they must not be ordinary people.
So he no longer insisted and focused on treating the patients.
Two days later, all the patients had recovered, and Qiu Yinong and the others were ready to leave.
Doctor Zhang was relieved when he saw this.
Before leaving, Qiu Yinong said to Doctor Zhang, "If your disciple comes back to embarrass you, tell her that my destination is Chengnan Prefecture. If they need a prescription, tell them to come to Chengnan Prefecture to find me."
Doctor Zhang opened his mouth but said nothing in the end, just wishing them a safe journey.
After leaving the village, we passed a town called Yanliu. There was not a single patient in the town.
While eating, Li Ao asked about it.
The shopkeeper smiled and said that they had all taken the prescription that the Princess of Changping had passed down from the court, so they were not infected when the plague came.
When refugees came later, their headman asked them to drink the prescription.
After drinking it three or four times, those people were basically cured.
Qiu Yinong was very relieved after hearing this. At least someone listened to her. This was good. The losses could be minimized.
