Chapter Eighty-Five: Something Bad Happens
After returning from the palace, Jun He asked people to pack up Fan Lan's things, and explained to the other maids that Fan Lan was taken by a certain prince as a concubine and would not come back.
Today's heavy snow, Lan Xueqian also sent someone to send a letter and a white plum blossom, Jun He asked people to put the plum blossoms in the vase and insert them, while showing the letter.
Lan Xueqian has accepted the fact that Jun Wu doesn't like herself, she is not young, Mrs. Lan is giving her Zhang Luo's family affairs, although she has not yet decided which son it is, she said in the letter that it doesn't matter.
Jun He closed the letter, and muttered to the plum blossom in a matter-of-fact manner, "Ask what is the situation in the world, and the straight people promise life and death", and then changed a cloak, and called Lan'er to ask her if she wanted to see Hong Zhiyan.
Lan'er heard that she was naturally happy, and after she moved in, Junhe asked people to make her two sets of winter clothes, but now that it is snowing, it is better to have a cloak to wear it.
Jun He thought so, but he didn't have a child's cloak at hand, so he finally had to find someone in the warehouse to find a piece that Jun Ran planned to throw away for Lan'er.
Although Jun Ran didn't want it, the cloak was still eighty percent new, and the collar was soft and fluffy, and Lan'er immediately hugged it in her arms when she saw it, and said that it would snow again at any time outside, and if she wore it, it would be dirty.
She made Jun He feel a little distressed like this, obviously she was also a young lady of the Bai family, but she didn't even have a good winter coat.
finally persuaded Lan'er to put on a cloak and go out, because the road was slippery in the snow, it took more time than usual to arrive at the Hanging Pot Medical Hall.
The medical hall seemed to be busier than usual, and Hong Zhiyan should be sitting in the clinic at this hour, but Jun He didn't see him in the consultation room.
led Lan'er all the way to the wing room in the backyard, and Jun He found that Hong Zhiyan was still nested in the room.
"Not feeling well?" Jun He felt strange and stepped forward to touch his forehead.
Hong Zhiyan obediently rubbed his head over, let Jun He touch his forehead and comb his hair.
It doesn't seem to have a fever, Jun He still feels strange in his heart, and when he saw a black cloak hanging by the door, he immediately went over to stroke it, the cloak was cold, and the fur collar on it still had a little moisture.
"Just came back from outside?" Jun He was curious.
"I wore it when I sat in the yard." Hong Zhiyan smiled.
Jun He was a little discouraged, she didn't have to find out where Hong Zhiyan had gone for twelve hours a day, who had seen whom, and what he had done, but it would really not be good for him to use this excuse to hide from himself.
"Do you know that Qiu Na has escaped from prison?" Hong Zhiyan saw that her face was a little sunk, so he pulled her to sit down next to the stove and patiently explained.
Jun He nodded.
"He came to me this morning, we went out a bit and just came back. I'm afraid you'll be scared. β
Lan'er had been playing in the snow in the courtyard since she entered the hospital, and immediately quietly approached the door and pricked up her ears to listen to what they were saying.
"Why did Qiu Na come to you?" Jun He was taken aback when he heard the name.
"I don't know very well, I feel like he likes to challenge me since Junran's incident, and this morning he came to show me that he escaped from prison." Hong Zhiyan said that he also felt that Qiu Na's action was really naΓ―ve, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"You didn't catch him?"
Hong Zhiyan shook his head: "Don't look at this person, he looks a little Sven, he is actually a madman, he has no feelings, you arrest him, he has many unexpected ways to escape." β
He never wanted Jun He to know that he had some friendship with Qiu Na, so Qiu Na successfully escaped from prison and brought him a pot of good wine, and the two drank it on the roof before parting.
"Lan'er?" He untied Junhe's cloak and hung it, and he saw Lan'er in the afterglow.
"Brother Zhiyan." Lan'er greeted with a smile and ran out to play in the snow.
"Doctor Hong," suddenly a family member hurriedly ran in, "Doctor Zhang wants you to go out and have a look, it seems that someone has smallpox." β
"What?!" Hong Zhiyan was startled, got up from his chair with a thud, and was about to run out, but stopped Junhe, who was about to go out to see the excitement, "Smallpox is infected, stay away, don't go out of the yard!" β
"What about you?" Jun He asked anxiously.
"I'm a doctor." Hong Zhiyan said word by word.
ββββββ
In the lobby, Dr. Zhang, who was visiting the doctor, did not say much for fear of causing panic, so the patient and his family did not know that anyone had smallpox.
Hong Zhiyan looked at the boy who came to the hospital in front of him, but he was more than three years old, his little face was very red because of the high fever, he carefully opened the boy's eyelids, and sure enough, he saw a few small pale red pimples, and then buckled his pulse, and finally shook his head helplessly.
Dr. Zhang's medical skills are also very high, and calling him here is just one more insurance.
"Doctor, what kind of illness are we full of?" The young woman holding the child asked anxiously.
Hong Zhiyan avoided the young woman's eyes: "Ling Lang has smallpox, and all those who have come into contact with him must be isolated." β
As soon as his words came out, the people who were originally in the consultation room were in a mess and ran out like running for their lives.
"No one can leave without an order from the main palace!" Jun He's voice suddenly came from the door, Hong Zhiyan looked over, only to find that Jun He had gone around the back door to the front gate at some point, closed the door, and held a sword in his hand, which was very deterrent to crazy patients and their families.
"If we don't leave, we'll all be infected!" A man shouted hoarsely at Jun He.
"If you go out and infect other people, won't the entire capital be in danger?"
"I've reported to the police, and I'll take you away for quarantine. If anyone dares to leave without permission today, I will sacrifice his sword to me!" This palace is the Qianrui county lord personally appointed by His Majesty, you people, this palace will kill if you want to. Jun He's voice was extremely cold, and Hong Zhiyan couldn't help but admire it secretly.
After a stalemate of about a stick of incense, the prefect's soldiers and horses were finally late.
ββββββ
"When did you start having a fever?" The patients and their families were taken away by the prefect, the medical hall was quarantined, and no one was allowed to leave, and Hong Zhiyan also began his diagnosis.
"Probably, I had a low-grade fever last night, and I came here this morning when I woke up with a high fever that doesn't go away." The young woman was worried about her son and sobbed quietly as she spoke.
"I started to have a fever yesterday," Hong Zhiyan recorded in his notebook, "The incubation period of smallpox ranges from about a week to half a month, and the incubation period of children should be shorter." About eight or nine days ago, did the child come into contact with anyone? β
The young woman's eyes were watery, and she thought for a long time before she said, "My family had a birthday that day, and our third birthday was all going to be a big deal, and the whole village was invited. β
As she spoke, everyone's faces turned cold.
"In other words, it is likely that people in the village have infected it, and it may also be transmitted to other villagers." Jun He smiled bitterly.
"There is no special way to deal with smallpox, I can only do my best." Hong Zhiyan said to the young woman with apologies in his tone.
"Doctor, Manman is the only son of our husband and wife." The young woman knelt down in front of Hong Zhiyan with a thud, "I beg you to save him, you must." β
"I do my best."
