A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Plague is highly contagious and has an extremely high mortality rate, inspiring fear in all who hear of it. Once infected, nine out of ten people will die; survival is unlikely. If the epidemic cannot be controlled quickly and effectively, and patients cannot be treated promptly, Yishui County may fall entirely within a very short time. And if Yishui County falls, its neighboring Qinghe County will inevitably be in grave danger as well!

Afu stood to the side, glanced at the contents of the letter, and was struck dumb, his face drained of color. Yishui County was his hometown, and his elderly mother was still there!

"My lord!" Afu's voice trembled, filled with anxiety and worry.

Lord Tang steadied himself, pondered for a moment, and then began to write letters. After finishing, he solemnly handed both letters to Afu, giving him earnest instructions:

"Give this letter to Doctor Zhang and Nie Qianqian at Jishetang. This matter is of utmost importance, of paramount importance. Do not let even a whisper of it leak out. Once the news spreads, the people will surely panic. At that time, not only will the epidemic in Yishui be difficult to control, but it is also very likely to trigger a large-scale riot, and the situation will be completely out of control, which is unimaginable."

In Lord Tang's mind, if anyone in Qinghe County could resolve this plague crisis, it would probably be Nie Qianqian.

Nie Qianqian possesses exceptional medical skills and often finds unique solutions to overcome various difficult and complicated diseases.

This epidemic came on fiercely, like a surging tide that was hard to resist. And there was no news from the provincial capital. If anyone could turn the tide and avert this catastrophe, it would be Nie Qianqian...

I only wish that Heaven would protect the millions of people in Yishui and Qinghe, so that they could escape this calamity.

After handing the letter to Afu, Tang Jincheng instructed, "Quickly pack your bags and prepare the horses. I need to head to Yishui County immediately."

Afu immediately became anxious, "Sir, this plague is extremely dangerous. How can you go to Yishui now? You're putting yourself in grave danger..."

Tang Jincheng's expression was resolute. "Personally, Lord Zhang has been kind to me and is my mentor. Publicly, the magistrate of Yishui County has been imprisoned for corruption. Although Lord Zhang and Lord Jiang are in charge of the overall situation, they are from the provincial capital and the capital, respectively. They must be unfamiliar with local affairs and personnel transfers. Now is the time when we need people. How can I sit idly by?"

Afu grew increasingly anxious, "Sir, but that's the plague!"

Tang Jincheng looked at Afu and said, word by word, "If the epidemic in Yishui County cannot be controlled, the people of Qinghe County will be the first to suffer. I am the official in charge of Qinghe, and I must consider the people's needs in advance!"

Although danger lies ahead, my mind is made up.

"Prepare the horses."

Ah Fu had followed Lord Tang for many years, so how could he not know his character? He nodded emphatically, "My lord, I will go with you!"

Lord Tang was taken aback, "You..."

Afu looked up, his eyes filled with seriousness. "Lord Tang cares deeply for the people, regardless of his own safety. Afu is willing to follow you to the death. Besides, Afu is from Yishui County and has an elderly mother at home. Now that my hometown is in trouble, how can I back down? I will definitely go first."

Lord Tang: "Alright, let's go together."

At Jishetang, Director Zhang was preparing to go out to see a patient when Tian Dong hurried over.

"We can talk about it after I finish seeing the patient."

Tian Dong leaned down and whispered in Director Zhang's ear, "It's a letter in Lord Tang's own handwriting."

"Oh?" Director Zhang opened the letter and looked at the words on it. His expression became more and more solemn, and his hands trembled slightly.

Seeing Director Zhang's expression, Tian Dong's heart skipped a beat. "Director Zhang, what's wrong?"

"Order Jishetang to summon all doctors from medical clinics to Jishetang. The clinic will be closed today and no patients will be seen."

Tian Dong hadn't expected things to be so serious, so he hurriedly went to relay the order.

At Qiyue Tower, Nie Qianqian and A Ling were the last to leave, just as Tang Daren and Director Zhang's messengers arrived one after the other.

Nie Qianqian quickly glanced at the two letters and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Plague, also known as the black disease in ancient times, is caused by Yersinia pestis. It was initially transmitted from infected rats to fleas, then to humans, and finally through the air.

In the ancient times of Nie Qianqian's era, one could take detoxifying and blood-activating soup internally and apply Five Gods Ointment externally to relieve symptoms, which could have a certain effect, but it was difficult to cure the disease quickly.

The optimal time to treat the plague is 48 hours, or 2 days. However, judging from the contents of the letter, seven or eight days have already passed, and hundreds of people have been infected, and this number is still increasing.

Every minute and every second is a race against death. Nie Qianqian is a doctor, and healing the sick and saving lives is her duty. With her medical skills and the ability to travel through time to the hospital, she feels an even greater sense of mission at this moment.

She even felt that the reason she traveled to the Great Yu Dynasty with her spatial ability was to heal and save lives in such a critical moment.

She has an inescapable responsibility.

Ah Ling's voice rang out, filled with worry, "Dr. Qian, has something happened?"

Nie Qianqian couldn't leave without saying anything, or Liu Yan would worry and overthink. "I'm going out on business for a few days. I'll leave a letter; please give it to Gu Xiao for me."

Looking at Nie Qianqian's expression, Ah Ling had a feeling that something bad had happened. "Sister Qianqian, I'll go with you."

"Ah Ling, listen to me, I have something more important for you to do."

Nie Qianqian picked up her pen and began writing a letter, in which she detailed the things that Qiyue Tower and Yueji Pavilion would be doing next, pointing out the direction for everyone's tasks. She said that she was going out with Director Zhang to treat a noble person, and considering the round trip, it would probably take five or six days to return, so everyone should not worry.

Nie Qianqian left the letter and, without wasting a moment, drove her carriage alone to Jishetang without even taking a change of clothes.

Upon arriving at Jishetang, she had already changed into Dr. Qian's attire and stepped off the carriage.

Upon entering Jishetang, Director Zhang was standing right in the center of the Tang Dynasty building. Most of the dozen or so doctors from Jishetang had already arrived. Seeing Doctor Qian enter, Director Zhang felt somewhat relieved.

Director Zhang succinctly stated the purpose of gathering everyone: "The plague is raging, and as doctors, we bear the heavy responsibility of saving lives and healing the wounded. We cannot stand idly by. I plan to take the resources of Jishetang to Yishui County to treat the people. If you are willing to go with me, come to my side and we will go together. If you are unwilling, I will not force you."

The moment the word "plague" was uttered, all the doctors standing in the hall felt a chill run down their spines.

"How could there be plague? Is this true or false?"

"I've heard some rumors lately that there's an epidemic in Yishui, but they haven't said it's the plague..."

"In just a few days, the number of patients has reached 100, which shows that the disease is highly contagious. If it is not controlled, it will soon spread to Qinghe."

Hearing the murmurs, Director Zhang raised his voice and said, "That's right. It's only a few hours from Yishui to Qinghe. Helping the people of Yishui is helping ourselves."

Nie Qianqian remained silent and walked straight behind Director Zhang, expressing everything through her actions.

When Director Zhang saw Nie Qianqian, he walked over without hesitation and with unwavering determination, as if he had found someone to rely on, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.
