Ye Zhen learned the whereabouts of the medicinal materials from Huang Fuchen and didn't know what to say. ()
She knew that Qiao Zebai was a student of her uncle and often went to the Ye Family. She had seen him once. He was a gentle and talented young man. It was hard for her to believe that he would do such a thing.
"Master, what should we do now?" Ye Zhen asked. She was only worried that the disease would not be controlled and there would be a plague.
Huang Fuchen whispered, "Zheng Yulong has sent people to find medicinal materials and reported to the court. Now the dam is out of control. We can only hope that the rain will stop. Otherwise, the corpses in the village will be more troublesome."
Ye Zhen frowned, "It has been raining for several days. Why hasn't it stopped?"
"Yao Yao, we must control the situation in Huaijiang City, otherwise …" Huang Fuchen's face was solemn.
"Otherwise what?" Ye Zhen asked hurriedly.
Huang Fuchen took a deep look at her, "Ah Zhan has only been on the throne for less than a year. If such a disaster occurs in the first year of the new emperor's reign, it will inevitably shake the people's hearts. I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to use this as an excuse."
Ye Zhen immediately understood what Huang Fuchen meant. He was afraid that someone would use this matter to accuse Mo Rongzhan of being the emperor and want to create chaos to seize the throne. ()
"Master, I understand what you mean." Ye Zhen whispered, "As long as there are medicinal materials and the disease can be controlled, there will be no problem. It is impossible for others to slander the emperor for his incompetence in governing the country. It has nothing to do with him at all."
"Yao Yao, the natural disaster is the biggest excuse." Huang Fuchen reminded her.
Ye Zhen smiled coldly, "It depends on who the natural disaster is punishing. Don't Qiao Zebai's party need to be punished for what they have done for so many years?"
"Do you have a solution?" Huang Fuchen asked in surprise.
Right now, the best way was to gain the upper hand with a show of strength and push the blame of the natural disaster onto those who were greedy for medicinal herbs and Disaster Silver. This way, they would be able to prevent others from using this matter to harm Mo Rongzhan. However, why was she only thinking of protecting Mo Rongzhan now? She clearly wanted to pull him down from the throne.
Ye Zhen shook her head in her heart. Now, no one is more suitable to be the emperor than him. Even for the people of Jin Kingdom, she must protect his reputation.
No one knew if the heavens heard everyone's prayers, but the next day, the dark sky showed a touch of blue, and the heavy rain gradually turned into light rain.
"The rain has stopped!" Ye Zhen said to Huang Fuchen happily.
Huangfu Chen nodded with a smile. "God is helping us."
Zheng Yulong sent several carts of medicinal herbs, all borrowed from the medicine shops in the city. Ye Zhen went to take a look. Many of the medicinal herbs were useful. With these medicines, at least they could solve the urgent need for a while.
Huang Fuchen brought the rest of the doctors to the city to find people with fever. Zheng Yulong also ordered to close the city gate and set up a temporary shelter outside. No one was allowed to enter the city anymore.
Ye Zhen took Xia Yaohua to boil the medicine together. The urgent task was to cure Doctor Qi's illness first.
She remembered the prescription mentioned in Qi's medical book and slightly changed the amount according to Doctor Qi's illness. When boiling the medicine, she added some spirit spring water. She didn't want to use spirit spring water, but if she didn't, the longer the illness was delayed, the more severe the infection would be.
"This pot is for the patients with fever. This is for others. No matter who it is, the people in the city must drink a bowl." Ye Zhen said. This was a medicine to prevent typhoid. She also added spirit spring water. She was not worried about other things, but she was afraid that those who were not sick would be infected.
"Yao Yao, there are so many people in the city. How can we send them all?" Xia Yaohua said.
Ye Zhen thought about it carefully. "I'll ask Lord Zheng to send a notice to the city and let those people come to the hospital to drink the medicine."
After a day, Huang Fuchen found 20 patients who were infected with typhoid in the city. When he wanted to bring them to the clinic to be isolated, their families didn't agree. He could only send the medicine to their homes and remind them not to go out, in case they spread the typhoid to others.
In the evening, the backlog of water in the city gradually receded. It was originally at the level of the thighs, but now it has dropped to the knees. It was believed that there should be no water in the city tomorrow morning.
Ye Zhen had not slept all night and felt tired today. Under Huang Fuchen's persuasion, she went back to rest first. However, she was still worried. She personally cooked a large pot of medicine and told the people of the hospital not to forget to send medicine to the people with typhoid.
Dai Mei also brought a pot back and let the other servants in the mansion drink a bowl.
The next day, Ye Zhen was woken up early in the morning.
"Yao Yao, it's not good. More and more people are infected with typhoid in the city." Xia Yaohua panted and said to her, "Yesterday, there were only about 20 people. Today, three of them are dead. Mr. Huangfu had the corpses dragged away and burned. Their families are making a fuss. Lord Zheng had people search thoroughly and found that more than 30 people are feverish. What should we do?"
Ye Rou took a deep breath. Someone died?
"What about Doctor Qi and Xiao Niu?" Ye Zhen asked hurriedly. Xiao Niu was the little boy she brought to the hospital yesterday.
"They have no fever today. Your medicine is very effective, but they still haven't woken up. Mr. Huang Fuchen has continued to feed them medicine." Xia Yaohua said.
"Didn't the three dead people take their medicine yesterday?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown.
Xia Yaohua said, "They think that our medicine is not as good as other doctors, so they took the medicine but did not drink it. Lord Zheng has sent people to arrest those who have typhoid and quarantine them."
"The city is already like this. I don't know what it will be like outside." Ye Zhen felt a little scared. "What about the people outside the city?"
"After the rain stopped yesterday, those people have gone back. Now there is no one outside the city gate, but the gate is still closed." Xia Yaohua said.
Oh no! The typhoid patients originally came from the outside. It is said that many people in their village are sick. If those bodies are still left in the village, then the people who go back now are most likely to be infected.
"Quick, go to Lord Zheng!" Ye Zhen said. Those people can't stay in the village. No one can live in the village until the bodies are found and burned.
Xia Yaohua didn't know what happened and could only follow Ye Zhen in a hurry.
"Where did Lord Zheng isolate those typhoid patients?" The hospital certainly can't take in so many people. Where can they isolate dozens of people?
"He sent those who did not have typhoid to the yamen. The hospital is now full of typhoid patients." Xia Yaohua said.
