Chapter 348: The Plague
In May, June, and July, Ling Ruo's scope of action had been limited to the Pure Thoughts Residence, and he was not allowed to get out of the house. i^ As time went on, her belly grew larger, and by the time of the summer and autumn transitions, she was seven months pregnant; Although she is in lockdown, her life still maintains a good regularity, in addition to eating and taking medicine on time, she will walk in the hospital for half an hour every day, no exception.
Nala originally wanted Ling Ruo to be depressed because of the grounding and the ominous fetus, so that he could make the fetus unstable and cause miscarriage or premature birth. He thought that Ling Ruo could still maintain a cheerful mood when he was grounded, and it would not affect the development of the fetus in his womb at all, which was quite a miscalculation.
Although Ling Ruo was grounded, the people who looked at her were not restricted, the Guerjia clan and Wen Ruyan often came to chat with her to relieve her boredom, and Yilan too, maybe it was because people had grown up, Ling Ruo felt that Yilan was much more sensible than before.
At the end of July and summer, there was a sudden outbreak of the epidemic in Beijing, which was transmitted through the mouth and nose and was extremely contagious, with symptoms such as headache, fever, neck swelling, and seizures. If a person is sick, he will often be infected with one room, one town and one town. Although the medicine stone is effective in this disease, but only at the beginning of the disease, once the disease is aggravated, there is no cure, can only watch its death, and the disease develops rapidly, only more than ten days later, there are already hundreds of people, and it is still increasing, this matter makes the people of the capital panic.
The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the outbreak of the epidemic was quickly reported, and the imperial court reacted immediately, summoning all the imperial doctors to quickly find a way to eliminate the epidemic and avoid the epidemic from continuing to break out and an uncontrollable situation.
This time, the epidemic was menacing, and several doctors were infected while treating patients, and they lost their lives after the illness.
In order to be cautious, Kangxi handed over the matter to Yinzhen and Yinzhen to be responsible for, but Yinzhen was afraid of contracting the epidemic, so he never went to the place where the sick people were, at most he just glanced at it from a distance, and then asked the doctor in charge of treating the disease a few words. i^
Yin Zhen is the opposite of him, taking the risk of being infected at any time, he does everything himself, whether it is those patients who are sick or the family members who have lost their loved ones, he visits them one by one, and tries his best to solve everything he can solve.
The common people are very simple but not stupid, who is good to them and who is not good to them, they can see it clearly, and when they meet people, they say that the fourth elder brother is kind-hearted and cares about the suffering of the people, as if he is facing them at the lowest level.
From this time on, when talking about Yinzhen, two opposing statements began to appear, the court said that he was a cold-faced brother, mean and unkind, and moody; Folks say that he is a benevolent brother who cares about the suffering of the people.
The weather is gradually getting cooler, and autumn is about to begin, but the Tai Hospital has not studied a prescription for the epidemic for a long time, and they both know in their hearts that once it is really autumn, the outbreak of the epidemic will be a hundred times more terrible than before.
Yinzhen was so busy for several days that he had no time to rest, and his eyes were red; He couldn't sleep for a while.
Because of the frequent entry and exit of epidemic patients, Yinzhen hadn't seen Ling Ruo for a while, for fear that he would accidentally infect her, so he just ordered someone to go to Jingsiju every day to take a look at her and make sure she and the child were okay.
Ling Ruo begged the Buddha to bless Yinzhen in front of the Buddha every day, but unfortunately many things, the more you don't want it to happen, the more it will happen.
One day in August, Yinzhen began to have headaches, which at first were only caused by recent exertion, and did not take it to heart. On the second day, he suddenly had a fever and couldn't get up at all, which was similar to those who had suffered from the epidemic.
After Nala knew about this, she hurriedly ordered someone to ask for the imperial doctor, and she herself stayed by the side of the feverish Yinzhen every step of the way, Nian was the second to arrive, and asked all the time, "Hasn't the imperial doctor arrived yet?" ”
Nala shook his head gloomily, took off the handkerchief attached to Yinzhen's forehead, twisted it in cold water, and then put it on Yinzhen's forehead again.
Nian Shi frowned, and was about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then Sanfu led the Imperial Doctor of Qi to come in.
"The old minister asks for peace for Chang Fujin, and asks for peace for Nian Fujin." Imperial Physician Qi held his waist and bowed, and Sanfu specially brought a sedan chair over before going so that the elderly Imperial Physician Qi could ride. Although he didn't have to go by himself, Sanfu was in a hurry to get angry, and he couldn't stop urging the sedan chair driver to hurry up, and the four sedan chair drivers almost trotted over, so that his old bones were about to fall apart; However, it is a matter of the safety of the fourth elder brother, Mo said that he almost fell apart, even if he really dispersed, he didn't dare to complain.
Nian Shi rushed ahead of the Nala clan and said anxiously: "Imperial Doctor Qi doesn't need to be polite, quickly take a look for the prince, what kind of disease does he have?" ”
For Nian's arrogance, Nala naturally disliked it, but now that Yinzhen's condition is unknown, she is too lazy to worry about Nian's affairs, so she just let go of her body so that Dr. Qi can diagnose and treat her.
As soon as Imperial Physician Qi touched the temperature on Yinzhen's body as if it was on fire, his brows immediately wrinkled into a mountain character, and after the pulse was diagnosed, this brow wrinkled even tighter, and the most unwilling situation always happened.
"Imperial Doctor Qi, what kind of disease is the prince had, you should say it quickly!" Nian waited for a long time and didn't see Imperial Doctor Qi speak, so he couldn't help but urge.
Imperial Physician Qi shook his head, put down Yinzhen's hand and turned around and said, "If you go back to the two Fujin, the prince will ...... Infected with the epidemic! ”
Before those five words, Nala still had a trace of luck, hoping that Yinzhen just had an ordinary wind chill and would be fine if he drank a few pills, but the words of Imperial Doctor Qi ruthlessly shattered this most fortunate thing, causing her to lose the strength to support her suddenly, and her body fell to the ground, losing three blessings and supporting her before falling to the ground.
At that time, Nian's face was not much better, his face was pale, he took a few steps back, and held on to the window lattice to support his body and said reluctantly: "Imperial Doctor Qi, will you make a mistake, the prince has always paid attention to protection, not to mention that contact with those patients is not a matter of one or two days, if you want to get sick, you would have gotten it a long time ago, how can it be delayed until now." ”
Imperial Physician Qi shook his head and said, "At this time, the epidemic infection also varies from person to person, it is easy to get it if you are weak, and it is not easy to get it if you are strong. Before, the prince was strong and protective, and the epidemic naturally couldn't help the prince at this time, but these days, the prince worked hard, ran around for the sick people, worked hard, and had little time to rest, even if the iron body couldn't bear it, this body was weak, and the yin and yang in the body were unbalanced, so he was naturally taken advantage of by the epidemic. ”
The eyes of the starless Nala clan suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Imperial Physician Qi's hand tightly and said hopefully: "Imperial Physician Qi, you are the head of the Imperial Hospital, you tell me that the prince's illness must be sick, right?" ”
Imperial Physician Qi endured the pain in his hands and said with difficulty: "Please forgive the old minister for his incompetence, and the prescription for curing the epidemic has not been studied until now!" ”
