Chapter 25: Smallpox
Jadeite's illness was menacing, and she fell ill in less than a day.
Chu Ning was worried that her illness was contagious, so she ordered someone to isolate Jade.
"Without further ado, report this matter to the Tai Hospital as soon as possible."
As soon as Heyi Palace reported the situation, Tai Hospital immediately sent someone to come, and it was Taiyi Zhang, who had a holiday with Chu Ning.
Imperial Physician Zhang was still a little jealous of Chu Ning, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke her.
After Dongzhu led Imperial Doctor Zhang to consult Jadeite, Imperial Doctor Zhang told Chu Ning, "It's smallpox." ”
Chu Ning was still skeptical of Imperial Physician Zhang's judgment.
"Although her symptoms are similar to smallpox, there is no source of infection in the uterus, and she has not left the uterus, how did she get the disease?"
Imperial Doctor Zhang pursed his lips and said: "In previous years, there were many princes and princesses who were infected in the palace, who can tell how they got this disease." ”
As he spoke, he instructed the accompanying medical officer: "Go and tell the queen that the palace must be sealed." ”
Chu Ning remembered that it was mentioned in the history books of the Later Zhao Dynasty that the previous dynasty had the experience of successfully planting pox.
She stopped Imperial Physician Zhang and said, "Please ask the Imperial Hospital to inoculate other people in the palace who have not been infected with smallpox first." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang showed a strange smile as if he was listening to a joke, "Does the third princess think it's really that easy to get pox?" ”
Chu Ning asked rhetorically: "There were successful precedents in the previous dynasty, could it be that after a few decades, the medical skills of the imperial doctors have stopped?" ”
Imperial Physician Zhang wanted to send her away with a few words, but she really knew the precedent of the previous dynasty's successful pox.
He had to change his words, "It's not so easy to catch pox, there are only a few imperial doctors in the palace, how can they take care of it?" ”
"In other words," Chu Ning stared at Imperial Physician Zhang and asked slowly, "The Imperial Hospital intends to give up these dozen lives?" ”
"You can't say that, at least the hospital will try its best to ensure that the third princess is well-founded."
Chu Ning turned his head and looked at the busy medical officer, and couldn't help but sweat for the people in the palace.
In her previous life, when she was the founding empress Chu Mingsi, she often heard that smallpox was rampant, killing dozens of people one after another.
But at that time, smallpox technology had not yet been developed.
If you are infected with smallpox, you can only boil it with your life, and those who have a hard life will carry it, and you will end up with a pockmarked face.
If you are not careful, others will also be infected with smallpox, and they will die with the patient, and they will be burned with a roll of straw mats.
Now, the situation of Heyi Palace is particularly difficult.
As soon as Empress Yao heard that there was a smallpox case in the palace, she immediately ordered the chief manager of the Inner Court Division to personally bring people to seal the palace.
Chu Ning was still asking Imperial Doctor Zhang to plant pox for everyone, and Manager Zhao unceremoniously interrupted her.
"Third princess, let's go." Mr. Zhao said in a strange manner, "Don't stay in this kind of place and get dirty. ”
Chu Ning ignored him, "The infected palace maid has been isolated, and the others should be vaccinated for pox prevention." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang looked at Manager Zhao, "Even if the pox is successful, the process of taking care of one person until the diagnosis and recovery is extremely long. ”
It's just a few minions, and if it's gone, it's gone, so what's the need to work hard to treat them?
Manager Zhao immediately smiled and said, "Although our family doesn't understand medical skills, but when I listen to Doctor Zhang, I feel a headache." ”
"According to our family's meaning, please ask the third princess to avoid it. The lives of slaves are like grass mustard, why should Your Highness care? ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang also echoed: "That is, the old man also said that this is the most reliable method." ”
The two sang and harmonized, forcing Chu Ning to leave.
Chu Ning stared straight at Manager Zhao, "You are also a minion, why do you have to say anything like a mustard?" ”
She turned to Imperial Physician Zhang again, "Don't mention the words of the doctor's benevolence, this palace only asks you, what is the value of being a imperial doctor?" ”
The two were dumbfounded by Chu Ning.
After a while, Manager Zhao reluctantly smiled and asked, "Could it be that the third princess wants to stay here and wait for death?" ”
