Chapter 9: The Plague
In a blink of an eye, Ning Yixuan is 7 years old, and Ning Zhongxin is already famous in Tai Hospital. Imperial Physician Ling Zhang is very old, and he has already asked the Son of Heaven to recommend Ning Zhongxin to take the position of Imperial Physician Ling.
Unexpectedly, a plague broke out in Chang'an City, and it spread extremely quickly like a raging fire. Various places were cordoned off, and the streets and alleys of Chang'an City were filled with the smell of lime water. The palace stopped the court and blocked the palaces and courtyards. Ning Zhongxin was fortunate not to be trapped in the palace, otherwise his child's life would not dare to think about it.
Imperial Physician Ning's medical skills were not only passed down by his father, but they were also better than the blue. He will use all his skills to save his child's life. An Junlan refused to leave her son, in order to prevent infection, Ning Zhongxin let her life pull her out of the room, Ning Zhongxin stayed with his son day and night, after countless dressing changes and observations, Yi Xuan's condition gradually stabilized. During this period, the medicine was all grasped by Ning Zhongxin and boiled by himself.
But although there are hundreds of medicinal materials in this house, there is a lack of medicine, this herb is rare, I am afraid that there is only one pharmacy in Chang'an City, and he seems to have something unspeakable. Ning Zhongxin knew that he couldn't delay for a moment, and he also knew that it was extremely dangerous to go out now, his son was still asleep, and his whole body was hot from high fever, and he couldn't care about it so much. He wrapped his mouth and nose with a white cloth, and before leaving, he ordered Cuiliu to take care of his wife and never go to the child. Then Lu Cong followed Ning Zhongxin out.
"Lu Cong, Tan Sheng Yao Shop." Lu Cong looked at Ning Zhongxin incredulously, Tan Zhong's name in Tan Sheng's pharmacy was Tan Guyi, who was Ning Zhongxin and Zheng Ying's childhood partners, Tan Guyi and Ning Zhongxin were both interested in Yingzhi, Tan's father was the imperial physician at that time, and knew that Tan Gu also loved Zheng Wancheng's daughter, so he dared to ask the Son of Heaven for a holy decree. Unexpectedly, Zheng Wancheng risked the sin of resisting the decree and refused this family affair on the grounds that he had a little girl and a marriage contract.
Tan Fu was also a high-ranking nobleman, and Tan's father sat in the position of the imperial physician for 30 years, and then died unexpectedly before the elderly imperial physician Zhang took the position of the imperial physician. And Tan Guyi's medical talent is far above Ning Zhongxin. On the way out of the house to grab medicine, in the huge Chang'an City, there was no penumbra in sight. Presumably, they all hid at home, for fear of contracting this plague.
"Master, are you going to Tan Sheng's medicine shop?"
"Lu Cong, when did you become so stupid, yes, Tan Guyi's pharmacy!"
This road has been an errand in Ning Mansion since he was very young, although he is a slave, Ning Zhongxin does not just treat Lu Cong as a slave. After a while, I arrived at Tan Sheng's medicine shop, only to see that the medicine shop was closed and locked, and the road was fruitless when he knocked on the door, so Ning Zhongxin came forward and knocked on the door in person.
"Brother Tan, Brother Tan......" After a while, I saw a junior apprentice open the door through a small gap, and he could only see one eye of the other party.
"Don't knock, don't knock, we don't have Langzhong!"
"Little brother, may I ask if your shopkeeper Tan Gu is also here?"
"Who are you?"
"Please also pass it on, in Xia Ning Zhongxin."
"Ning? …… You wait. When the apprentice heard Ning Zhongxin's name, he left.
Ning Zhongxin, who was anxiously waiting, kept walking back and forth in front of the door. Just as I was about to knock on the door again. The crack in the door opened a little more. Now I can clearly see this apprentice, but his face is covered with a white scarf, and I don't know what he looks like.
Seeing that the apprentice didn't mean to open the door at all, the door opened a little more, and a hand stretched out from it and said: "The government has gathered the people who have the plague in Shili Village outside the city, and our shopkeeper went to treat the sick patients, and left this bag of medicinal materials when he left, he said that there will be a imperial doctor named Ning Zhongxin to take the medicine, you take it Okay, this is what you need, this is the last packet." "After that, the door was completely closed, and there was no response to the call.
Ning Zhongxin didn't need to open it, he knew that it was dragon blood exhaustion when he smelled it. Dragon's blood exhaustion is a good medicine for blood circulation and blood stasis, swelling and pain, and astringent hemostasis. Tan Gu is still exactly the same as before, opening a pharmacy that only sells medicine and does not see a doctor, and if someone lives or dies, he will come to the rescue. When Ning Zhongxin thought that this medicine could cure this plague, Tan Gu had already taken action.
Lu Cong was about to drive back to his house when the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion stopped in front of their carriage. How could the Prime Minister's Mansion send someone to find Tan Guyi? As soon as the carriage door opened, seeing Zheng Yingzhi's panicked expression, missing Su Ri's silk and red crying eyes, Zheng Yingzhi staggered towards Ning Zhongxin.
"Brother Xin, save my child."
"......" saw that Yingzhi's face was full of tears, this Brother Xin hadn't heard it for 8 years, and Ning Zhongxin was at a loss this time.
"At such a young age, he was infected with the plague, and the imperial doctors in the palace were all on duty, and this Langzhong invited batch after batch. There is no one who is the top thing, Brother Xin, you save my child, save my child! ”
"Cheng ......" Ning Zhongxin originally wanted to tell the Prime Minister's wife that his son was also waiting at home for the herb he bought.
"Brother Xin...... My Brother Xin, you save me, save me......" This heart-rending Brother Xin screamed in Xin's heartache. He picked up Zheng Yingzhi and kept talking by his side regardless of the road
"Master, Childe is still waiting for medicine."
At this moment, he seemed to be unable to distinguish which was more important. At this moment, Zheng Yingzhi is the Zheng Yingzhi who only Ning Zhongxin can rely on.
"Lu Cong, you go to Shili Village outside the city, which is the epidemic isolation point, you go to Tan Guyi and ask him to go to the house to see Yi Xuan."
"Sir! But this medicine is the last pack! ”
"Go quickly, Yi Xuan's condition has stabilized, and it won't be a big deal for the time being, you go quickly!"
Gongsun Feinan is in the same condition as Ning Yixuan, but he is obviously delayed, and his condition is much more serious than Yi Xuan. The prime minister was anxious and walked back and forth in the room. Sighing all the time. Zheng Yingzhi had already cried into tears.
"I've told you many times not to let Nan'er go out. You're so indulgent to take him out! ”
"You usually go out early and return late, and you are all focused on the affairs of the court, Nan'er has repeatedly wanted to go out to welcome you home! You ......"
Zheng Yingzhi lay in front of the bed, looking at the unconscious Gongsun Feinan, and kept holding tears.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister's wife, I will do my best to heal my son. However, the plague is likely to be contagious, and even if you bring a mouthkerf, you can't guarantee that everyone will be safe, so please stay away from the prime minister and the prime minister's wife. ”
"Is my child still saved, he hasn't eaten a drop of water for days."
"Imperial Doctor Ning, how about the child, you can tell the truth." Gongsun Hong said.
"I can't guarantee that Childe will be safe and sound, but I will do my best."
Ning Zhongxin prescribed a prescription, and this hand was the only dragon blood exhaustion. The palace was blocked, and it was basically impossible to enter the palace to get medicine, so he prayed to the heavens, and prayed that Lu Cong should take Tan Gu back to Ning Mansion. He knew Tan Guyi too well, and he knew that Tan Guyi would not die without help. So I put the medicine in my hand in the medicine jar.
Lu drove all the way to Shili Village, but because of the plague, it was really difficult for the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate to get out of the city at all. Lu Cong could only run all over the large and small pharmacies in Chang'an City to find this smell of dragon blood.
Gongsun Feinan used medicine late, but with Ning Zhongxin's treatment of his son these times, he already knew how to restrain this sudden plague. Due to the delay in treatment, the cure will be longer, but fortunately, his life will be fine. stabilized Gongsun Feinan's condition, and the sky was dark.
After learning that there was only one pair of dragon's blood, the prime minister got on the horse and went to the palace to get medicine. It's just that he hasn't returned for a long time, and Ning Zhongxin was about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion when he collided with the Prime Minister. Fortunately, the prime minister got the medicine and handed it to Ning Zhongxin. The prime minister was full of gratitude to Imperial Physician Ning for saving his son.
