Kunning Palace.

"My lady, please have a cup of ginseng soup."

"You've been so busy these days that you look exhausted..."

Huaping held a cup of ginseng soup and looked at her queen with heartache.

There is now a smallpox outbreak in the palace, and everyone in the palace is in panic. Others can hide in their own palaces, but they, the queen, cannot.

Their queen is the master of the harem and is responsible for many matters in the harem.

Others may have the opportunity to hide from something as serious as smallpox, but their queen has no chance to hide.

Queen Feng Yuanheng rubbed her temples gently. These days really exhausted her. Fortunately, the spread of smallpox was effectively controlled and did not break out on a large scale as she had imagined.

The strange-looking clothes and mask made by Concubine Chen played an indispensable role.

Queen Feng Yuanheng took the ginseng soup casually, and thinking of Concubine Chen Hua Wu, her mood was extremely complicated at this moment.

When Hua Wu discovered smallpox, she did not rush back to the palace with her people in a panic, but made a prompt decision to seal off the Lanxin Palace, which brought her great benefits in subsequent handling of the smallpox epidemic.

Not to mention the protective clothing and masks she subsequently produced, which really greatly reduced the number of people infected with smallpox in the palace.

Even she didn't admire her calmness, decisiveness, intelligence and courage.

If Concubine Chen can get through this stage, the position of Imperial Concubine will be within her reach.

The Imperial Noble Consort has the same status as the Vice Queen and can be in charge of the affairs of the six palaces!

What will she do then? !

The ginseng soup in her mouth should have been fragrant and sweet, but Queen Feng Yuanheng tasted a hint of bitterness.

"Huaping, how are the people who are isolated in Xiaoyiyuan doing now?"

Queen Feng Yuanheng suppressed the confusion in her heart and asked.

"Your Highness, according to Director Xu, although the number of people infected with smallpox is not large, they currently do not have an effective prescription for treating smallpox..."

"The other seven palace maids who lived with Qiuji are all dead..."

"Seventeen people have just been infected and are now running a fever. Another twenty have entered the early stages of the rash. Sixty-eight have already entered the pus stage and are in a coma for most of the day. Director Xu said they are already in danger. If there is no way out, they will only survive in the next few days..."

"In addition, Concubine Wei of Lanxin Palace has also entered the pus stage..."

Huaping said cautiously.

In fact, she didn't want to tell the Queen these bad news. She wanted her Queen to have a rest.

However, she also knew that if she didn't say it, the queen would definitely not feel at ease.

Queen Feng Yuanheng frowned slightly.

The high-ranking concubines in the palace, such as Concubine Ping, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Xiang, were also infected with smallpox. They are now all placed in the Xiaoyi Courtyard. I heard that they have been making a lot of noise, especially that stupid woman Concubine Ping, who said every day that she wanted to kill her and locked her up in the Xiaoyi Courtyard to let her die...

When she thought of this, Queen Feng Yuanheng frowned even more tightly.

"Huaping, go and urge Doctor Xu. Concubine Ping and the others... can't wait any longer..."

If Xu Yuanzheng and the others don't come up with any effective solution, Ping Fei and the others will be dead.

"Yes!"

Huaping took the order and left.

……

He had just seen off the emperor's men, and the next moment he welcomed the queen's maids, all of whom were here to urge him to get the prescription.

What can Xu Yuanzheng do? !

He could only send Huaping away with kind words, and then yelled at all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, all of whom looked extremely haggard.

It's not that they can't come up with a prescription. In fact, they have modified several prescriptions based on those of their predecessors in the past half month, and even tried all of these prescriptions out. However, most of the time, after a certain prescription has been used to stabilize the condition for a period of time, the condition will suddenly worsen, and then the prescription will fail to work.

There was nothing they could do.

They stayed in the Imperial Hospital day and night these days, and I don't know how many hairs on their heads they pulled out.

"Director, when will Dr. He come back?!"

The young doctor Li put down the medical book in his hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was filled with a hint of fatigue and anticipation.

He is dying!

Really!

He's going crazy!

As a doctor, one can imagine the pressure he felt when he saw his patient’s condition becoming increasingly serious and he was about to die.

He desperately hoped that Doctor He would come back.

Although smallpox is terrible, for some reason he would feel much more at ease if the divine doctor He was around.

"It is said that the emperor's people have found Doctor He, but even if they travel day and night, it will take at least seven days to get back to the capital..." Xu Yuanzheng sighed.

He knew what they were thinking. They were like trapped animals in a cage and needed someone to give them some guidance so that they could get out of the predicament.

That person could undoubtedly be the divine doctor He.

But Divine Doctor He was not in the capital, and it would take at least seven days for him to come back. He was afraid... afraid that the patients in the abscess stage could not wait...

After hearing what Xu Yuanzheng said, the entire imperial physician group fell into depression.

……

In a corner of the Central Palace, someone was holding a dagger and slashing at the protective suit distributed throughout the palace, till the suit was slashed into pieces.

"Why hasn't she been infected yet?!"

"Why?!"

In half a month, only eight people have fallen in Lanxin Palace, and that bitch is not among them.

Is this protective suit so useful? !

She is not reconciled!

The man was cutting with the knife, as if he was cutting the protective suit that Hua Wu was wearing.

"Slash it!"

"Slash it and that bitch will be dead!"

The man's voice was resentful and vicious, as if it contained deep hatred.

……

In the Lanxin Palace, Hua Wu stood two meters away from Imperial Physician Lin, trying to express her thoughts, "Imperial Physician Lin, Divine Doctor He will be back in about a week, but Concubine Wei and the others don't seem to last more than seven days..."

"See if you have any method that can help them alleviate their symptoms, so that they can at least hold on until He Yunshen comes back..."

If it really doesn't work, she will have to let Hongyaer pass on spiritual power to Wei Guiren and the others.

But this is not a solution after all.

She could save Concubine Wei and the others, but she couldn't save everyone in the palace.

The only way to save them was for the imperial doctors to come up with a prescription to treat smallpox.

She remembered that in a novel she had read before, it seemed that smallpox was incurable in ancient times.

What they could actually do was to use different medicines to delay the patient's discomfort symptoms at different stages of the development of smallpox, and then cooperate with their own immunity to defeat smallpox.

Hua Wu felt that this should be the correct way.

Doctor Lin and Xu Yuanzheng wanted to find a prescription that could cure smallpox so much that they fell into a misunderstanding.

Their prescriptions only worked for a certain stage, so they abandoned them in disappointment. But if they were combined, using a specific prescription for a certain stage, and then switching to the next stage of smallpox, the patient's symptoms would not be so severe, and combined with their own immunity, the survival rate might be greatly improved.

However, Hua Wu couldn’t explain something like immunity, so she just used He Yunshen as an excuse.

Doctor Lin was in the early stages of smallpox at this time. Although he had a fever and was weak, his other conditions were still good.

Therefore, upon hearing Hua Wu's method, Doctor Lin's eyes lit up immediately, and he suddenly sat up from the bed and walked excitedly in front of the bed, "Use different prescriptions for different stages... That's right!... That's how it should be..."

Imperial Physician Lin realized that he and his colleagues at the Imperial Medical Bureau might have been overlooking the real key to treating smallpox - adjusting the prescription according to the different stages of the disease, rather than blindly pursuing a magic prescription that could solve all problems once and for all.

"I'm going to make some medicine!"

"I have an idea..."

Doctor Lin's flushed face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were gleaming with an unprecedented light.
