Chapter 291 Prevention and Control of Plague
After a flood comes a plague.
So many people died in the floods in Jiangnan, and if an epidemic were to break out, it would be out of control.
The plot by Shen Changqing, the military governor of Jiangnan, to prevent flooding, which led to his execution, was exposed.
Mass killings of disaster victims and burning of their bodies.
In a sense, it did prevent the outbreak of the plague.
However, if left unchecked, it will eventually lead to endless troubles.
Qin Jinzhi had just set off.
Liu Yiyi from the Imperial Medical Academy then requested permission to travel to Jiangnan to relieve His Majesty's worries.
They were escorted to Jiangnan by the Thousand Bird Guards and the Dali Temple.
Another 3,000 imperial guards were dispatched to escort the medicinal herbs along with them.
The news that Liu Yiyi had requested permission to go to Jiangnan to prevent and control the plague quickly spread throughout the capital.
After all, Liu Yiyi's entry into the Imperial Hospital caused quite a stir in the capital.
However, the common people were unaware of the intricacies of the matter, while the physicians in the capital were.
The only female physician in the Imperial Medical Academy actually volunteered to go to the hardest-hit area where the epidemic was most likely to break out.
You must understand that once the plague breaks out, these people may never return.
After requesting permission, Liu Yiyi returned to the Prince's residence to pack her things.
Yunshan knocked on the door and said, "Miss Yiyi, someone outside the manor wants to see you."
Liu Yiyi raised an eyebrow. Who would want to see her?
As she walked out of the Prince's mansion, she saw Fang Junsheng standing at the entrance of the Zhenbei Prince's mansion.
"Senior Brother Fang?"
Fang Junsheng turned around immediately upon hearing the voice, "Junior Sister."
He strode forward and asked, "Junior Sister, is it true that you have requested permission to travel to Jiangnan?"
Liu Yiyi nodded. "Senior brother, would you like to come along?"
To everyone's surprise, Fang Junsheng's expression changed drastically. "Junior sister, how could you be so reckless!"
Liu Yiyi frowned and looked at him without saying a word.
Fang Junsheng, however, kept rambling on, "Junior sister, many ancient books record that a plague will follow a flood. There has been no outbreak in Jiangnan yet. If a plague does break out, even more people will die, and your life will be in danger!"
Liu Yiyi looked at him and asked, "Did you come here on your own, or did my father send you?"
Fang Junsheng stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yiyi's hand. "Junior sister, I know you're angry with Master. As long as you don't go to Jiangnan, I'll go back and tell Master to let you inherit Baicaotang."
Liu Yiyi pulled her hand back and looked at Fang Junsheng as if he were an idiot.
"Senior Brother Fang, I only call you Senior Brother because you are a few years older than me. You've already put on airs. If you really didn't want to inherit Baicaotang, you should have stopped me three years ago. I saw you at the dock, and you didn't show any intention of stopping me."
Fang Junsheng was stunned, not expecting Liu Yiyi to bring up what happened back then.
He quickly said, "I thought you wouldn't want to see me."
Liu Yiyi's eyes were filled with mockery. "Fang Junsheng, I think you should know that I have never respected you. Your medical skills are all inherited from my father, but you still have to rely on me, a self-taught doctor, to make a name for yourself. Not only are your medical skills terrible, but you are also vain. I have never understood why you have the nerve to come to me with such a sanctimonious attitude."
Fang Junsheng's face turned red. "Yiyi... I didn't know you would see me like this."
Liu Yiyi smiled. "I want to inherit Baicaotang simply to prove that women can also learn medicine, and that women's medical skills are no less than men's. I have already done it. Now, the most famous doctor in the capital with the surname Liu is not my father, Liu Yuanqing, but me, Liu Yiyi. Fang Junsheng, it is understandable that you care about your own life, but don't bother me. I have my own path, and it has nothing to do with you."
Liu Yiyi turned and went back to the Prince's Mansion. She didn't know how long she would stay in Jiangnan, and she still had luggage to pack.
Fang Junsheng stared at Liu Yiyi's retreating figure with a pale face, remained silent for a moment, and then turned and left.
The next day, Zhao Wuji came to the gate of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to pick up Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi looked at the prepared sedan chair and thought for a moment, "Lord Zhao, are there any horses left?"
Zhao Wuji raised an eyebrow and turned to have his subordinates bring over another horse.
These days, Gillian and Man have been giving Liu Yiyi special training.
He's terrible at self-defense, but at least he's learned to ride a horse.
Liu Yiyi was dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Medical Academy and wore a black official hat.
He nimbly mounted his horse.
The gold threads on the clothes shone vividly in the sunlight.
Zhao Wuji exclaimed, "I haven't seen Physician Liu ride such a good horse in just a few days."
Previously, when Liu Yiyi went to Dali Temple for help, she needed Zhao Wuji to take her with her.
I can ride very smoothly now.
Liu Yiyi raised an eyebrow and adjusted her official hat.
"A genius can do anything well."
Hu Aman, who came over to deliver something to Liu Yiyi, rolled her eyes.
I don't know who it was, but a wild goose landing on the sand punched me, and my eye was swollen for two days before it healed.
Hu Aman tied the dagger and the hidden arrow to her sleeve one by one.
"Take care on your journey."
Liu Yiyi nodded. "Take care."
She rode her horse to the front of the procession.
"Set off!"
The procession marched in a grand procession toward the city gate.
When we reached Zhongjie Street, there was a person standing at the front of the line.
Chidori immediately stepped forward, "Who is blocking the way? Make way at once!"
The man turned around, and it was Liu Yuanqing with a gloomy face.
Liu Yuanqing's face was extremely ugly. "Dismount and come home with me."
Liu Yiyi looked down at Liu Yuanqing and suddenly chuckled.
“Father, if you, as a physician, are willing to go to Jiangnan with me, I would be very happy to do so. If you wish to stop me, please think twice.”
The Chidori Guard behind her immediately drew his sword.
Liu Yuanqing glared angrily at Liu Yiyi, "What, you want to kill me? If you want to leave the city today, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
Liu Yiyi sighed and turned to look at Zhao Wuji, "I would like to trouble Lord Zhao to find a few people to carry my father away."
Zhao Wuji was taken aback, then looked at his subordinate beside him, "Didn't you hear what Physician Liu said?"
In an instant, four constables from the Dali Temple approached Liu Yuanqing.
Two people raise their arms, and two people raise their legs.
They lifted Liu Yuanqing up very smoothly.
"Liu Yiyi! If you dare to go to Jiangnan! From now on, I will disown you as my daughter!"
There were many people watching.
Liu Yiyi said calmly, "Father, as a doctor, one should heal the sick and save lives. If the plague breaks out in Jiangnan, even more people will die. I believe I have the ability to change this disaster. I know you are afraid that I will lose my life, but someone has to walk this path!"
People on the street looked at Liu Yiyi with great respect when they heard her words.
A doctor who would risk his own life for the people deserves the title of "benevolent physician".
Liu Yuanqing was still shouting as he was being carried away.
This is his daughter. If she dies in Jiangnan, what reason does he have to live?
Once they were out of the city, Liu Yiyi turned back to look at Zhao Wuji.
"I don't know what my old man is thinking. I am now a royal physician!"
He doesn't even realize that a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking person. If I weren't worried about him losing face, I would have had him tied up and taken back to Baicaotang.
It must have been Fang Junsheng who instigated him to come, and he even stepped over my dead body!
That's pretty inspiring.
