Drunk Bamboo

Wind Palace

It was the time when Qi Zhen came to check Nanny's pulse every month.

Qi Zhen arrived at Bailianxuan first.

With a serious expression, he said, "Mammy, the weather is getting colder. The cold air will enter my lungs. I'm afraid it will be hard to endure."

The nanny still smiled calmly and kindly, "Doctor Qi, don't worry, I'm not having a hard time at all. Now, I'm very satisfied and happy. Living one more day is a blessing."

Qi Zhen is a doctor and has long been indifferent to other people's life and death.

It is rare to find a patient like Mama who, knowing that her life span is limited, can still look at it in a positive light and face it with a smile.

Qi Zhen started writing down the prescription again and patiently reminded her, "I'll change the prescription. Madam's appetite may not be as good as before, but she will sleep more comfortably at night."

"Thank you Doctor Qi for your concern."

"I'm going to ask Miss Baiguo to give me some advice."

After examining the nanny's illness, Qi Zhen went to the living room and sat with Hua Qinfeng and Xie Yuzhu.

Xie Yuzhu asked: "You changed the prescription. Is it because Mammy's illness has recurred?"

Qi Zhen's face was slightly stunned.

Xie Yuzhu was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she explained, "I have absolute trust in your medical skills, but Mammy always avoided letting me feel your pulse before, and I really found it strange."

"It's okay. Elderly people don't want their children to worry." Qi Zhen lowered her eyes and said softly, "Your Highness and Princess, just spend more time with Nanny. Everyone will grow old and pass away one day."

Hua Qinfeng glanced at him and said, "Doctors are used to seeing life and death. How can you make it seem so light?"

“It’s not about getting used to it, but seeing it clearly. It’s not about speaking lightly, but knowing how to cherish it.”

Hua Qinfeng's eyes were indifferent, "Nowadays, everyone is very brave and thinks I am easy to bully."

Qi Zhen waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, no, I don't dare, I don't dare!"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right again, Xie Yuzhu said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry about it. He has been very angry recently."

Hua Qinfeng was told and looked at Qi Zhen coldly, "Anything else you want to say?"

"The princess asked Lord Zhang to deliver the news and investigate Lin Hai Xue Lian before. I didn't find anything, but Gao Fengyu has been very strange recently. He stayed in the pharmacy alone for a whole day, not letting anyone approach him, and I don't know what he was doing. I think it's a bit strange. He has never been like this before."

Xie Yuzhu was stunned. "Is he developing some poison again..."

Seeing her expression, Hua Qinfeng could probably guess what she was worried about. He looked at Qi Zhen with a serious expression and said, "The imperial soldiers cannot directly check the pharmacy. You should pay more attention to Gao Yin."

"I see."

After Qi Zhen finished speaking, he stood up and left.

The living room was quiet for a while.

Xie Yuzhu suddenly got up and returned to Changfeng Courtyard.

She quickly wrote a few lines with a pen and handed it to Hua Qinfeng, "Your Highness, I will write down some rare herbs later. Tell the Liu Gang to use whatever means to get as many as possible and as quickly as possible to Zhongdu."

He wrote another one and gave it to Yun Ling, "Give these herbs to Shopkeeper Zhao and ask her to stock up more."

"I'll go right away."

Hua Qinfeng handed the paper to Yun Ling and said, "Give it to Lao Liu."

Yun Ling nodded and went out immediately.

Hua Qinfeng looked at her frowning face and said, "Yuzhu, what do you think is..."

Xie Yuzhu sighed softly, "I hope all these preparations are unnecessary."

But within a few days, the same situation as ten years ago appeared in Zhongdu City. Overnight, almost all the clinics had patients with the same symptoms.

Persistent high fever, diarrhea and vomiting.

Soon, the same symptoms appeared in the palace.

Golden Steps Hall, early morning court.

"Gao Fengyu, what's going on? There are so many patients suddenly appearing in Zhongdu City. Do you know what disease they are?"

Gao Yin's figure appeared in the hall where officials were attending court.

When the emperor received news of illness inside and outside the palace, the horrific scene from ten years ago immediately appeared before his eyes.

His anxious eyes stared straight at Gao Yin.

Gao Yin bowed and made a judgment, "Your Majesty, order the city to be closed. Yes, it is a plague."

"what?!"

"D-really?"

The ministers were horrified.

The emperor looked terrified.

Gao Yin: "I dare not deceive your majesty."

When the emperor heard Gao Yin's voice, his eyes lit up immediately. "Gao Fengyu has already developed a prescription to solve the problem. Please quickly distribute the prescription to various clinics in the private sector. Please treat the patient quickly. Please treat the patient quickly..."

Gao Yin's lowered eyes concealed a hint of sarcasm. It was an insignificant man like him who could tease the emperor and all the officials.

Worried and afraid, "This plague is different from the previous one and is more difficult to deal with."

"I believe Gao Fengyu will be able to save Zhongdu City again. If you need any medicinal materials, just let me know. If you need any personnel, I will arrange them and fully cooperate with Gao Fengyu to develop a prescription."

The emperor placed all his hopes on Gao Yin.

Gao Yin said again: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to seal off the city first. Prevent more people outside the city from suffering from the plague. If it spreads, the consequences will be disastrous."

It had only been one day since the symptoms appeared, but Gao Yin was so sure that this was a plague, and he was also sure that it was a stronger plague than before.

Is there really such a miraculous doctor?

Hua Qinfeng couldn't stand it any longer and shouted at Gao Yin, "Is it up to you alone to decide whether this is a plague or not? You are the one causing the panic!"

Gao Yin said innocently, "What does King Feng mean?"

"Wasn't the plague caused by you..." and the Imperial Concubine? !

Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Zhang Xinghe.

"Your Majesty, Gao Fengyu said that in order to prevent more people from being affected, the city should be sealed off immediately. But for the people, Your Majesty should issue a clear decree to inform them that Gao Fengyu is already developing a prescription and will be able to cure the disease soon."

Prime Minister Wang Yan: "Master Zhang is right. The Shang Pharmacy should send experienced imperial doctors to various medical clinics in Zhongdu to work with the doctors in the medical clinics to treat and comfort the people."

Crown Prince Hua Qinyu: "Your Majesty, I will leave the palace with the imperial doctors to comfort the people."

Vice Prime Minister Luo Yuan immediately said, "Your Majesty, all expenses for this illness should be paid by the Ministry of Revenue, and the people can feel more at ease."

Liu Shancai, the Minister of Finance, immediately responded, "Your Majesty, we just collected some taxes some time ago, so we should be able to pay some of them. I will do the math when I get back."

……

Most of the veteran officials present had experienced the plague of that year.

At that time, they were at a loss, but now, they can no longer be useless.

Ministers offered suggestions one after another.

The decadent emperor's eyes gradually showed some spirit.

"Let's do as the ministers have said. We cannot let the tragedy of ten years ago happen again this time."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhang Xinghe added: "Your Majesty, the source of the plague has never been found. This time, I am willing to do my best to find the source."

Wang Yan agreed: "Master Zhang is right."

When Zhang Xinghe interrupted him, Hua Qinfeng realized that he was too reckless.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to investigate with Master Zhang."

The emperor's eyes fell on him and he warned him, "It's dangerous outside, King Feng must be careful."

Hua Qinfeng felt warm in his heart, "Yes, Your Majesty, you must also pay attention to your health in the palace. There are patrol soldiers outside, and they will definitely not cause chaos in Zhongdu City. Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Everyone should do their own thing. The court is dismissed."

The Golden Stairs Palace was completely empty.

The emperor sat slumped on the dragon throne, speaking weakly, "It's the plague again. Tell me, is it because the heavens are not happy with me and are punishing me?"

Eunuch Dong consoled him, "Your Majesty, the ministers are united in purpose, and with Gao Fengyu here, the plague will surely be resolved soon."

The emperor's face suddenly turned grim and he was in great pain. "My head hurts so much, my head hurts so much..."

"Your Majesty! Send for the imperial physician! Send for the imperial physician!"
