Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

As the weather gets warmer, more and more patients are seen in the medical clinics in Kyoto.

Huichuntang gradually became unable to accommodate the increasing number of guests.

It was not until news came from Huainan that more than a hundred people had contracted the disease and died that the court began to take it seriously. This was an epidemic!

He immediately sealed off Kyoto City and the palace gates, and ordered the imperial physician to prepare medicinal materials for distribution to prevent the epidemic.

But it was too late, the epidemic in Huainan had already entered the capital city.

Almost in one day, every house had its doors closed, the lanterns and window decorations from the New Year had not yet been taken down, and the streets were already silent.

The Jiang family has been fumigating moxa every day for the past month. No one has gone out, and food and medicinal materials have been stockpiled early in the morning, so everything is safe and sound.

Even the palace was not spared. The Queen and the Crown Prince also fell ill and were isolated in Fengqi Palace. The imperial physicians went to treat them every day, but their condition did not improve.

In the general's mansion, everyone fell ill at once, leaving only Qin Beihuang and a few servants unharmed.

This epidemic came with great force, dormant for several months in winter, and broke out completely when the weather warmed up, with the potential to take countless lives.

Several corpses were carried out of the clinic every day, and the epidemic spread throughout the entire Kyoto city.

The situation was serious, and the Imperial Medical Office urgently developed a prescription for the epidemic, but there was no result.

Suddenly, Doctor Xu thought of something, "Oh, right, I heard that Miss Jiang once made medicinal sachets and gave them to people throughout the palace. Now, only Yongning Palace is safe and sound."

Immediately, an imperial physician echoed: "The Duke's Mansion and the Marquis Wu's Mansion are fine too!"

"Those who have received the sachet seem to be fine and haven't contracted any disease. Could it be that the sachet is working?"

Everyone discussed and wanted to invite Jiang Ningwan over.

But at this time, the hospital official Liu Wenyue came over and scolded, "It's just a coincidence. Although she is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Qiu, even the epidemic prescriptions recorded in medical books of past dynasties are useless. I don't believe her sachet can prevent epidemics."

"The medicinal sachets can at best delay the onset of the disease, or the disease may have already occurred but not yet manifested!"

"You are all pillars of the Imperial Hospital, yet you pin your hopes on a little girl? How absurd!"

Liu Wenyue is only thirty years old, but he is the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau and has the Queen as his backer.

He disagreed, so everyone gave up and continued to search for a cure.

Jiangzhai.

Jiang Ningwan lay in the yard basking in the sun, feeling a little anxious.

Why haven’t the people from the Imperial Hospital come to see her yet?

Now the epidemic has reached its most serious time. Kyoto City and the Imperial Palace have fallen, and people die every day, but those who have received her sachet are still fine. The Imperial Hospital should have noticed something.

Suddenly there was a hurried knock on the gate.

Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped. Here he comes?

She immediately jumped up and ran to open the door.

But when he saw the person outside the door, he was a little disappointed.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Ningwan took a step back and covered her mouth and nose.

Qin Beihuang saw her defensive look and knew that the Jiang residence was indeed not affected by the epidemic.

"Do you still have the sachet you gave me? Mother and Qingheng are both infected and their condition is serious!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan sneered in her heart. She knew that when she gave the four sachets to the General's Mansion, they didn't keep any of them and threw them all away.

"I gave you the sachet, but it's gone now."

Qin Beihuang was unwilling to give up and said anxiously, "Can't you make a few more?"

Jiang Ningwan snorted coldly: "Why?"

"I've already done my best by giving you four. You've wasted my kindness. How dare you ask me to make you a few more?"

Hearing this, Qin Beihuang looked at her in shock. "Human lives are at stake, why are you so indifferent? It's just a few sachets, isn't it? What's so difficult about it?"

Jiang Ningwan chuckled softly, "Yeah, it's just a few sachets, what are you fussing about?"

Qin Beihuang clenched his palms tightly. "Qingheng is already very ill. You are a doctor, and doctors have a kind heart. How can you just watch him die without helping him?"

Hearing the noise, Jiang Zhouye rushed over. Seeing Qin Beihuang approaching the gate step by step, he immediately covered his mouth and nose and pushed Qin Beihuang away.

"It's not that I didn't give you the sachet, it's you who ruined it."

"You only get one chance to show your affection. If you don't cherish it, you deserve to never get it again in your life!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

There was a continuous knock on the door and Qin Beihuang's shouting outside, but the two people inside ignored them.

After Qin Beihuang knocked for a while without any result, he stopped knocking.

Jiang Zhouye specially used mugwort to fumigate the door, fearing that Qin Beihuang would bring the plague.

It was quiet outside for a short while before there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Zhouye cursed as he went to open the door, "Now you know the benefits of the sachet, you deserve it!"

However, when he opened the door, it was Doctor Xu outside.

"Doctor Xu, why are you here? I didn't scold you just now." Jiang Zhouye hurriedly explained.

Jiang Ningwan heard the sound and rushed over quickly. Finally, someone from the Imperial Hospital arrived.

"I saw General Qin coming just now. I'm really sorry. Actually, I came here for the sachet..." Doctor Xu spoke a little embarrassedly.

After all, Qin Beihuang had just been rejected.

"But I came to ask for the sachet, not for myself, but to see if Miss Jiang's sachet is effective in preventing epidemics. We can't develop a prescription to cure the epidemic right now, so we want to use the sachet to conduct research."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan immediately agreed: "No problem."

"I'll go with you to the Imperial Hospital to help."

But Doctor Xu looked troubled and hesitated, "Actually, I came here alone, not as a member of the Imperial Hospital."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan understood that Doctor Xu only came to ask for the sachet, not to ask her to go to the Imperial Hospital for help.

Jiang Zhouye also heard it and said dissatisfiedly, "Doctor Xu, if this sachet is really effective in treating the epidemic, can Ning Wan get some of the credit?"

Doctor Xu felt a little ashamed. The answer was undoubtedly no.

The court envoy would not admit that the sachet was useful.

"I did want to ask Miss Jiang to come to the palace to help, but the court envoy disagreed."

Envoy?

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold.

In the previous life, the prescription for curing the epidemic was stolen by the hospital envoy, who made him a meritorious official and firmly sat at the head of the Imperial Hospital. However, the doctor Zhang who actually developed the prescription was expelled from the Imperial Hospital, had his legs broken, and had no way to seek justice.

When she learned about this in her previous life, Doctor Zhang had already lost his fighting spirit and committed suicide shortly afterwards.

The sachet she is using now is also made from the prescription used by Imperial Doctor Zhang to treat epidemics. She must go to the Imperial Hospital!

"Doctor Xu, I'm very willing to do my part to cure the epidemic. The herbs in my sachet contain poison. I'm afraid if you use them improperly, it will worsen the condition, and I'll be guilty."

"The hospital official doesn't agree with my going to the Imperial Hospital, but there must be someone who can speak more effectively than the hospital official, right?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu's eyes lit up and he immediately understood Jiang Ningwan's hint.

"With Miss Jiang's words, I feel relieved. I will go to the palace right away."

Jiang Ningwan meant that he could find a backer, so of course he was willing to make this trip.

Watching Doctor Xu walk away, Jiang Ningwan narrowed her eyes slightly. Doctor Xu was a useful person, but with this action today, Doctor Xu would definitely offend the court envoy and the queen.

Imperial Physician Xu could only stand on the side of Concubine Rong and the Third Prince.

It can also be regarded as sending a reliable imperial physician to Concubine Rong.

That afternoon, Eunuch Hai came personally and said, "Princess, the Emperor has heard that your sachet is very effective, so he specially invites you to the palace. He hopes that you can work with the imperial physicians to develop a cure for the epidemic and benefit the people."

"Okay, I'll follow Eunuch Hai into the palace right now."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan turned around and looked at Jiang Zhouye, "I'll leave the Jiang residence in your care."

Jiang Zhouye vowed: "Don't worry, I'm here, no one can get in!"

After entering the palace with Eunuch Hai and meeting the emperor, she went to the Imperial Hospital.

But when passing by Taiming Palace, he heard a noisy sound.

She walked forward curiously and took a look.

But there were many guards and palace maids surrounding the pond, and in the pond, a familiar figure was bending over and looking for something.

Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows twitched.

Qin Beihuang!
