Chapter Forty-Seven: The First Divine Doctor in the World
"Miss, look at this man's face, he looks like a dead corpse. What kind of disease is this? Mu'er cried out in horror.
"It's corpse poison." Ling Ruoyi said calmly.
"Corpse poison?" When everyone heard this, they were frightened and retreated a few steps away.
Ling Ruoxuan glanced at the four men who came with this person, and said lightly: "It's too late, it's already poisonous." Let his family handle the funeral, but he must burn his body and bury it, otherwise it will cause trouble to his family. β
"Okay, we got it." The four men carried the man away.
"Strange, how could the people of this capital be poisoned by corpses? It's not a long-term association with corpses. Ling Ruoyi muttered.
"Miss......" Mu'er was about to speak, but was interrupted by someone who came.
"Miss Ling, the prince asked me to tell you that he went to the west of the city to deal with the epidemic, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come over these days." Remnant Wind said lightly.
"Well, then you and the prince should be careful, don't get infected with the epidemic."
"Miss, please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely protect the prince."
"Okay, then you have to be careful, if there is anything you need my help with, just let me know."
"Okay." As soon as the remnant wind was about to take a step, Ling Ruohui suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Wait." Remnant wind, what are the symptoms of people who have the plague now? β
"It's just a coma, his face is like ashes, and there is a foul smell."
"Is there still skin ulcers?" Ling Ruoyi hurriedly said.
"yes. Does Miss Ling know about this disease? Remnant Wind looked at Ling Ruoyi with wide eyes.
"It's not a disease, it's a corpse poison, and if you don't heal it in time, you will die, and the dead must be burned, otherwise others will be infected."
"Then the prince is still in the epidemic area, isn't it very dangerous?" Remnant Wind said anxiously.
"Brother Remnant Wind, please take me to the epidemic area, I want to determine if it is really corpse poison."
"This ......" Remnant Feng hesitated slightly, he knew that the woman in front of him was the heart of his prince, if there was a three-long and two-short, his prince didn't know what crazy things he would do.
"Alright, don't hesitate, take me there." With that, he pulled the sleeves of the remnant wind and ran towards the west of the city.
In the west of the city, there are already officers and soldiers who have set up checkpoints to prevent people from entering and exiting at will, but they all know the remnants of the wind and will naturally let them go. is to live and not let Ling Ruohui in, in desperation, Ling Ruohui took out the royal gold medal from his arms, the officers and soldiers saw that it was a gold medal, and they were busy kneeling and kowtowing, Ling Ruohui looked at those people angrily, and said coldly: "When is it, but also talk about faΓ§ade kung fu." Brother Remnant Wind, take me to see the prince. β
"Okay, Miss Ling, please come with me." Remnant Wind led Ling Ruoxuan to a thatched hut, where dozens of people were busy. And the people around him, from time to time, some fallen, and some die. For a while, it was like hell.
"It's dangerous here, what are you doing here, hurry back." King Qi said angrily when he saw Ling Ruoyi appearing here. It's not so much anger as caring and messing, it should be said to be a sign of love.
"I knew that there was an epidemic here, and not long ago, someone carried a sick person to my place, but that person was poisoned by a corpse and could not be cured. And at this time, there is a sudden epidemic here, and I am worried that it will be corpse poison, so I came to take a look, and you must need manpower, right? β
"No matter what the illness is, there are more than a dozen imperial doctors sent to me by the imperial brother, you go back quickly, I don't want you to have anything to do."
"I don't want anything to happen to you." Ling Ruoyi looked at King Qi firmly and said.
King Qi was stunned, pulled Ling Ruoyi and said, "Then you see what kind of disease they are, if they can't be cured, you can leave, I won't allow you to have anything." β
"Yes." Ling Ruoyi nodded firmly.
Walking quickly up to a patient, as expected, his face was as frightening as death. Turning to look at King Qi and said, "They are all poisoned by corpses, and ordinary medicine can't save them." And the dead must be burned immediately, otherwise many more will be infected. β
When King Qi heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Remnant Feng, you arrange people to pull the dead people to one place and incinerate them in a unified manner, and immediately go to count how many people are not infected and move them to a safe place." Inform Zhan Peng and tell him to strictly guard the checkpoint and not let strangers in again. β
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." The remnants of the wind obeyed the order and retreated. King Qi turned his head to look at Ling Ruoyi and said, "How did you see how the corpse poison was infected?" β
Ling Ruoxuan thought for a moment and said: "I think it should be a problem of water sources, there are three water sources in the capital, the palace and the east of the city are one water source, the south and north of the city are one water source, and the water source in the west of the city is the mountain spring of Jimo Mountain. β
"Okay, I'll take someone to check, you wait here for my news."
"No, I'm going too, you can't tell if it's a water problem."
King Qi frowned and said, "Okay, but you don't put yourself in danger. β
"Well, let's go."
King Qi, Ling Ruohui and Lei Ming chased electricity, the first to come to the village well to check, from the well to draw a bucket of water, vaguely can see that the water is faint black, obviously this water is problematic, Ling Ruohui probed with a silver needle, the silver needle emitted a faint black and green, it is indeed poisonous. But there were no carcasses of any person or animal in the well. Well, there is only one answer, and that is that the water source must be polluted. Ling Ruoxuan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took King Qi's hand and walked towards the top of the water source.
In the dense forest, there are a few bird calls from time to time, and the sound of crickets in the grass, plus the sound of gurgling water, if it is not for the important things to do, this is a good place to cook.
When he came to a mountain, Ling Ruoxuan fell to the ground several times, broke his knees and scratched his palms, and King Qi was distressed when he saw it, "Let's go with light skills, if you fall down again like this, this king can only send you back first." After speaking, he picked up Ling Ruoyi, and with the strength under his feet, he stepped lightly on the side of the mountain and flew to the top of the mountain, followed by thunder and electricity.
A closer look around revealed the carcass of a fawn in the waterhole, mutilated by a torn bite. Presumably, he must have escaped from the wolves to escape here, and he didn't want to become food for the wolves.
Lei Ming was about to reach out and drag the deer's corpse, but was stopped by Ling Ruoyi. "Don't touch the carcass of that fawn." When Lei Ming heard this, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and looked at Ling Ruoxi.
"I'm afraid that this fawn may be the source of corpse poison, don't touch it easily." Then he took out the needle box from his sleeve again and pierced it into the decomposing and moldy corpse of the fawn, and the silver needle quickly turned black, thus proving that the corpse of the fawn was indeed the source of the corpse poison.
Ling Ruoyi vigorously ripped off the fabric at the hem of her skirt and used the lasso method to pull the deer's corpse out of the pool. Yes, let the electricity be dragged aside immediately and incinerated to make it more reassuring.
Looking at the water in the waterhole, it still has a faint black color, it seems that it is not enough to pull out the rotting corpses, and it is also necessary to disinfect the water source here with some medicinal powder.
"Qi, please give the order. Recently, the villagers are no longer allowed to use the water in the village, and the water source they need for daily life has been transported by soldiers from the south, east, and north of the city. The water here is polluted and needs to be disinfected before it can be safely consumed. β
"Okay, this king will order them to close the water source in the village, and wait for your consent before activating it. What about those who are already sick? Is there really no way to cure it? β
"There is a way, but it requires a lot of medicinal materials, and a medicine is the most expensive, I am afraid that ordinary pharmacies do not have it."
"Tell me what kind of medicine it is, I'll try my best to find it."
"Yes, Lobelia. This medicine is precious, even if it is not available in the palace. β
"How much do you need?" King Qi spoke lightly.
"One flower is enough."
"This king has a lobelia, which was given to me by my father when he was alive. I'm going to go back and get it for you. β
"Really? Then these people will be saved, and the prescriptions given to them by the imperial doctors before will also be given to me, I don't want to kill people again because of the mutual restraint of medicine. β
"None of this is a problem, I'll have someone bring it to you when you get down the mountain."
After descending the mountain, King Qi immediately ordered people to seal the original well, and sent people back to the cause of the epidemic of Emperor Yuchen, and the manpower and material resources needed were informed one by one.
Emperor Yuchen has always loved the people, and when he heard this, he immediately sent someone to do it. Ling Ruohui also hung up a sign in front of the medical center, changing the time of the free clinic to three hours a day, and delaying it for one month.
After a day of sleeplessness, Ling Ruohui finally deduced from the medical book that a pair of medicines can detoxify corpses. At night, King Qi came to Ling Mansion with a small red sandalwood brocade box, and the housekeeper Chen Feng knew that this King Qi came to Ling Mansion to see Ling Ruoyi in addition to official business, especially when he heard that King Qi was responsible for the epidemic in the west of the city, and his own young lady was also contributing to the treatment of the people. β
Entering the small courtyard, King Qi saw Ling Ruoyi leading a few maids under his hand to grind and boil medicine, and he couldn't stop being busy.
"Xi'er, this is lobelia." King Qi's warm voice sounded. Ling Ruohui raised his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the rosewood box in King Qi's hand. Ling Ruoyi took it, opened it and saw that it was Lobelia, and then took it out and crushed it. Refining as a medicine primer.
The next day, Ling Ruohui took the prepared medicine to the patients, and after a few hours, seeing that the symptoms of those patients had been alleviated and did not deteriorate any longer, the stone in Ling Ruohui's heart could finally be put down. However, the problem of water sources has not yet been solved, and people's lives will still be threatened.
Unlike last time, this time when I went to the water source, I was only accompanied by King Qi, and the remnant wind and thunder were busy helping the imperial doctors. In fact, they don't want to be light bulbs every time, with their prince's martial arts, Miss Ling will definitely be safe.
Ling Ruoyi sprinkled the prepared antidote in the water source, and half a month later, after careful testing that it was non-toxic, it was officially opened and used in the village well, and the patients treated by Ling Ruoyi slowly recovered. Even more than a dozen imperial doctors were very admired.
The epidemic was eliminated, and Emperor Yuchen's hanging heart was finally put down. In the Wuying Palace, Emperor Yuchen sat on the dragon chair, looked at the group of people who were working hard for the epidemic standing in His Royal Highness, and said with a smile: "This epidemic is thanks to the concerted efforts of King Qi and all the imperial doctors to ensure the safety of the people. You have all worked hard, and I will reward you well. Several imperial doctors who treated the epidemic this time were each rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and increased to the first rank. You can rest at home for three days before returning to work. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." All the imperial doctors said in unison.
"Your Majesty, the epidemic can be lifted in such a short time, it is all the credit of Miss Ling, it is she who worked tirelessly, climbed the mountains to check the water source, and made an antidote, which saved the people in the west of the city. If it is said that she should be rewarded the most, the ministers are just simple assistance. An old doctor named Liu Feng said.
"Your Majesty, what Liu Yuanju said is yes, the biggest credit this time is Miss Ling, and the emperor must reward Miss Ling." An imperial physician knelt on the ground and said loudly.
In an instant, all the civil and military officials knelt down and said, "Please ask the emperor to reward Miss Ling." β
"Okay, come here, pass on Ling Ruoyi to enter the palace to meet you." Emperor Yuchen said with a smile.
After two teas, the eunuch had taken Ling Ruohui to the Wuying Palace.
"Ling Ruoyi, you have made great contributions to the treatment of the poisoned people this time, and whatever reward you want, I will depend on you."
"Your Majesty, that's what a courtier should do, and a courtier doesn't ask for anything in return."
"Don't reciprocate, how can you be, you work hard, and your medical skills are so outstanding, you can really be described as the world's first miracle doctor."
"Your Majesty, the courtiers really don't have anything they want." Ling Ruoxuan said helplessly.
"Brother Huang, you have already given Miss Ling a reward." King Qi said with a smile.
"I, no?" Emperor Yuchen wondered.
"Brother Huang, you just said that Miss Ling is the number one divine doctor in the world."
"Okay, then I will give you the plaque of the world's first divine doctor, to inform future generations that the doctor's medical ethics are the most important."
"Courtier, thank the emperor for his grace."
