A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Chapter 256 The Emperor Asks Her How to Treat Cholera

When summer came, Eunuch Xu took him directly to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be well and healthy." Xia Tian knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"Madam Shen, please get up quickly." The emperor called out quickly, "Madam Shen, I have called you here to ask if you have any solution to the plague in the capital."

She didn't expect the emperor to ask so directly, and asked her if she had any solution.

She is not a royal doctor, so what can she do?

Xia Tian complained in her heart that the emperor was desperate and was trying all kinds of methods to ask a woman who knew nothing about such an important national matter.

According to normal procedures, shouldn't she be assigned to work directly?

Or should I just ask her to take out the medicine?

Hehe, just kidding!

The emperor is a wise ruler, at least the emperor in front of us is.

He would never do such a thing as to directly rob his ministers of their medicines. That was all Xia Tian's own imagination.

"I wonder if we can now figure out what kind of plague is happening in the capital?" Xia Tian only heard Shen Nian say that there was a plague in the capital, and asked her to go out as little as possible and be careful.

Nor did she know what kind of plague it was.

Shen Nian has been very busy these past two days and comes back very late every day. Sometimes he just rests directly in Lingyun Pavilion.

Even when we met, I fell asleep after just a few words.

So she never found the chance to ask.

"Mrs. Shen doesn't know?" The emperor was even more surprised. How could Mrs. Shen not know about such a big thing?

The emperor looked up at Shen Nian and asked, "Didn't Chu Xuan tell Madam Shen?"

Shen Nian was asked by the emperor for a moment, then he remembered that he had only mentioned it briefly and did not say it was cholera. "It is my fault."

"Your Majesty, Brother Shen only told me that there seemed to be an epidemic in the capital. I guess he was too busy and forgot to say it." Xia Tian hurriedly explained, fearing that the emperor would blame Shen Nian.

"It's okay." The emperor was a little amused. Chu Xuan was just too quiet. He only mentioned such a big thing briefly.

"Madam Shen, the epidemic in the capital is cholera, and people have already died." The imperial physician couldn't wait and interrupted directly.

Then he told Xia Tian about the situation in the capital in detail.

He also knew that Mrs. Shen had a magical medicine that could cure all diseases.

The emperor also took out two pills for him to study, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was added to them that made the medicine have such magical effects.

If Mrs. Shen could give out some more medicine for this cholera outbreak, it should be able to be brought under control. I just don't know how much of this medicine Mrs. Shen still has?

Another question is whether this medicine can be produced immediately?

"Cholera!" Xia Tian searched her memory and it seemed that there was a cholera outbreak when she was a child, but she didn't know if it was true?

At that time, two people showed symptoms of cholera, and then the entire village was surrounded. Many villagers who did not know what was going on fled to the mountains in the middle of the night.

They said they surrounded them and burned them to death to prevent the spread of the plague.

Now when I think about it, I was really scared because I didn’t understand anything at that time.

I still remember that my family packed up their things and were ready to escape at any time if the situation did not go right.

Later they said it was not cholera at all and the people surrounding it withdrew, so I felt relieved.

Although she was young at the time, she has a very clear memory of this incident.

Because she was still worried that if she really ran away, she would not be able to go to school anymore.

The emperor and his companions saw that she fell into deep thought after saying two words, so they did not disturb her and just waited quietly.

Xia Tian thought for a while. If it was cholera, maybe she wouldn't need to take out the spiritual spring water at all, because she might know the prescription for treating cholera.

That was after she started working, and she liked reading all kinds of miscellaneous books, including the medical books sold in bookstores for ordinary people. She remembered that there seemed to be ways to treat or relieve cholera.

"Your Majesty, I may have a prescription that can relieve the symptoms of cholera, but whether it can cure it needs to be verified." Xia Tian didn't dare to say too much, in case the prescription was useless.

She is not a professional doctor, she just read the prescriptions in a book and found some precautions.

"Prescription? Do you have a prescription?" Before the emperor could speak, the imperial physician stood up excitedly.

The emperor and Shen Nian also looked at her with burning eyes.

The emperor thought, if there was a ready-made prescription, then what would there be to worry about?

It turned out to be the right decision to find Madam Shen. Madam Shen might be the lucky star sent by God to protect Daqian.

The corners of the emperor's mouth began to rise uncontrollably.

Seeing the three people's intense reactions, Xia Tian quickly explained, "It hasn't been verified yet, so I don't know if it will work."

I’m afraid they will misunderstand and be disappointed.

"It's okay. Madam Shen, could you please write it down now so we can verify it right away?" The imperial physician couldn't wait any longer. He believed that Madam Shen would definitely not give him a useless prescription.

Since she has such a magical medicine, this prescription cannot be ineffective.

The imperial physician was now even more anxious than the emperor, so Xia Tian didn't hesitate and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor gestured, "Mrs. Shen, please write here."

Eunuch Xu had already prepared paper and pen and placed them on the table next to her.

Xia Tian thought about it carefully and decided to write down the recipe he saw in the book.

I was also worried that they might misuse it, so I also listed some precautions.

Blow the paper dry and hand it directly to the imperial physician.

The imperial physician took it, looked at it carefully, and nodded continuously. The medicinal herbs on it were indeed used to treat cholera symptoms, so there should be no problem.

"Your Majesty, I will go and boil the medicine first." The imperial physician was about to leave impatiently.

"Well, go ahead." After the emperor agreed, the imperial physician was about to go out.

Xia Tian quickly called out to him, "Master Lin, please wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet."

The imperial physician's surname was Lin, and he held the fifth rank.

Lord Lin, who is already old, is even more anxious than her.

When the imperial physician Zheng Lin heard Xia Tian calling him, he retracted the foot he had already taken, turned around and asked, "I wonder if Madam Shen has any other instructions?"

"Master Lin, this prescription can only relieve the symptoms. If you want to cure it, you have to use other methods. Don't be anxious." Xia Tian felt helpless when he saw Master Lin's posture of being ready to leave at any time.

She remembered very clearly that in her hometown, cholera had to be treated in conjunction with Western medicine. Since that was not available here, she could only use similar folk remedies.

When Lord Lin heard Xia Tian say this, he sat back down.

The emperor and Shen Nian also kept staring at her, waiting for her to finish.

"Lord Lin, I wonder what preparations you have made or what measures you have taken?" If the Imperial Hospital had already done so, she wouldn't have to waste her breath.

Lord Lin's eyes flashed with admiration. "Currently, all those showing symptoms have been isolated. They are required to cover their faces with cloths when entering and leaving to prevent infection."

Xia Tian nodded, "Anything else?"

"Also, each district has already notified officers and soldiers to minimize gatherings and report any infected individuals immediately. The homes of those infected have also been disinfected."

Shen Nian added from the side.

"Very good." Xia Tian agreed. "But I have some more things to add. Lord Lin, please take a look and see if they are suitable."

After hearing what the two said, she knew that the emperor had already started doing everything he could think of. After all, she was not an official and could not issue orders.

I can only offer suggestions for the Emperor and Lord Lin to refer to.

"Mrs. Shen, please speak." The emperor gestured to Xia Tian to speak freely.

Now that they need her help, she'll do whatever she says.
