Because this epidemic attracted more attention from people in the court than usual. It was not that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had changed their minds, but because even the Empress Dowager herself was infected by the epidemic.

Normally, she always cared too much about her appearance, and she only liked to deal with those poisonous insects, and did not take care of her body.

Even though the Imperial Hospital used all kinds of the most expensive medicines to treat her, she herself did not take good care of her. So when the epidemic first spread into the palace, she was the first to be infected.

At this time, Xu Qingyin was already the most favored person in the court. For a full seven months, whenever the empress dowager asked for something that could be made with current technology, Xu Qingyin would grant her request. As long as she could get it, she would give it all to the empress dowager, and she was immediately favored by the empress dowager.

In fact, the Queen Mother also knew that Xu Qingyin might not really obey her in her heart, but she really could not do without Xu Qingyin now, because this national teacher was so useful.

When the Empress Dowager was infected with the disease, the entire Imperial Hospital was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

They all knew how foolishly filial Lu Zhou was to the emperor. If anything happened to the Empress Dowager, the entire Imperial Hospital would probably be implicated!

So at this time they could only think of Xu Qingyin, after all, Xu Qingyin was so powerful.

"Master Xu, Master Xu, please, save us!"

When they said this, everyone in the Imperial Hospital knelt on the ground.

Xu Qingyin felt very sad when she saw how they lowered their heads and looked at her.

It’s not that she felt sad about the way these people were so subservient, but the number of people who died from the epidemic outside the capital had reached tens of thousands, but these people in the Imperial Hospital didn’t care at all.

It was only when the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were in some danger that they felt their lives might be in danger, and everyone felt threatened.

How chaotic is Yunjin now?

They watched Xu Qingyin still carefully reading the book in her hand in the Zhaixing Tower without saying a word, and they were all panicked at once.

Today they had risked being beheaded by selecting a few representatives and secretly coming out of the Imperial Hospital to seek help from Master Xu. But now she seemed so indifferent. Wasn't that a sign of wanting to kill them?

They were unwilling to give up, so they continued to pray:

"You should also know that the Queen Mother's trust and favor in you are all based on the power she has given you, isn't it? If something were to happen to her every year, I believe you wouldn't feel good either. So why are you being so arrogant?"

"Oh, so you mean I'm just being arrogant here. I have to save the Empress Dowager today. If I don't, then I'm useless. I'm just a termite built on the Empress Dowager's power."

Xu Qingyin glanced at them lightly. Although the girl had just turned 18, her delicate face gave them a feeling of extinction.

When Doctor Li finished speaking, Doctor Zhou beside him quickly kicked him and gave Xu Qingyin an embarrassed smile:

"Master, don't listen to what he says. This child has always spoken rudely since he was young. We don't mean to threaten you.

"We all know exactly what you've done for Yunjin. Now that the Empress Dowager is in this state, if anything were to happen to her, it would be unacceptable. Even if we owe you a favor, even if we're willing to work like slaves for you, it would be a shame. But you know how tyrannical she is. If her condition worsens, even if we cure her, she might kill us all."

When he said this, the hypocritical look on his face now showed a bit of real sadness.

It really makes sense and moves people emotionally.

In fact, Xu Qingyin didn't want to make things difficult for them. She had been looked down upon for a long time when she was the imperial teacher. Everyone was disgusted by the Queen Mother's behavior.

But Xu Qingyin is different. She truly responds to the empress dowager's requests, so she is deeply trusted by the empress dowager.

Even many important affairs of the court were left to her to handle. In their eyes, Xu Qingyin was nothing more than a hypocritical imperial teacher like his mother.

So she no longer took those unpleasant words to heart. After all, she had heard words that were thousands of times more unpleasant than these.

I'm saying this much today, but I just want to make the Imperial Hospital owe me a favor, so that in the future when she needs to treat epidemics with people in the court, she can use them.

"So what you're saying is that if I take action this time, and I really work like a slave in the future, are you all willing to do that?"

Doctor Zhou and Doctor Li obviously did not expect Xu Qingyin to say this. Doctor Zhou paused for a moment, as if he did not expect Xu Qingyin to actually ask this.

Doctor Li suddenly became angry:

"We're trying to persuade you with kind words, but you still want to climb up the ladder? You are..."

Before he could finish his words, he was immediately stopped by Doctor Zhou:

"Yes, yes, calm down, calm down. As long as we can do it, we will definitely do it for you."

At this point, Xu Qingyin looked quietly at the white paper in front of her.

In fact, many things in Zhaixing Tower are close to modern times. They don’t understand and have never seen them, but it’s not easy to say more.

Xu Qingyin had served as a division commander for seven months before, and had produced many strange and bizarre gadgets. They had long believed that she could really hear the sounds of heaven. Even those who couldn't believe it knew that she must have some extraordinary abilities.

Now Xu Qingyin is looking at the inspection report she sent to the modern inspection agency.

This epidemic is indeed very severe, but fortunately, I have had similar infections before, so I already have a mature treatment plan.

Even vaccines are available, and you can buy them whole.

As for medicines, if she buys too much at one time, it might attract unnecessary attention. She just needs to be more careful.

The two of them watched as Xu Qingyin didn't say a word for another whole minute. They were a little scared, but they still waited quietly.

After all, the woman in front of them is their only hope of salvation.

Xu Qingyin had roughly finished flipping through the book, closed it quietly, and looked deeply at the two people on the ground with her emotionless eyes.

"Since you two have both said that you can agree to whatever I need in the future, then if I need your help treating an epidemic in the capital, I hope you will not stand idly by."
