The Surgeon's Guide to Survival in the Royal Palace, Section 85
Chapter 67: Rather Contracted Disease
Ning Ji wrote back to him:
"I guessed that you would say that, don't worry, I tied my hair myself, but it doesn't look very good, it feels a bit like the hair of the old man in Qingyang, has there been a war over there these days?"
Ning is really sleepy, the strange dreams that have always appeared in the past few days have made his rest not very good, plus his eyelids are fighting all day long, and he ended today's reply without a tirade.
When Yan Yunzhou got this letter, he immediately imagined in his mind the appearance of Ning Yi holding the messy hair of the old man of Qingyang, and he smiled without noticing:
"There haven't been any major battles in the past few days, just small-scale fights, don't worry if I didn't play, when will you come over and tell me in advance, don't work too hard, rest early every day."
Ning Ji made a lot of sulfonamides in this batch, and it was not until the day after tomorrow that the synthesis was completely completed, and his back was stiff and not his own, so he set aside a small part in the afternoon of making it, and took the rest to the northern suburbs, where a row of large tents had been built to accept those infected by the epidemic.
The number has been much more than when he first came, but what is better than expected is that people continue to enter, and people continue to recover, the epidemic has lasted for more than a week, and some of the young people who are in good health have significantly reduced their symptoms after using the medicine.
Because of Ning's medicine, the people here treat him like a living Bodhisattva, a few days ago when he entered the big tent, there was an old man who took the lead in kowtowing to him, that scene was comparable to worshipping the Bodhisattva in the temple, so shocked that he almost didn't jump out.
In the past few days, I finally don't kneel, and I focus on a few very serious ones:
"Ning Gongzi, two of them didn't survive last night, and the corpses have been disposed of with quicklime according to the method you said before."
Ning Yao's eyes darkened slightly, and he sighed:
"The family doesn't have any opinions, right?"
After treating the body with quicklime, the first thing that came to mind after cremating Ning Ji was the acceptance of the family, after all, in this era, it is still very particular about entering the ground for peace, that is, those who are beheaded will eventually take their heads over and let their families bury them.
"Lord Luo has explained before that people who die of epidemic disease must be cremated, and some of the elderly in the family can't accept it, but they can also understand it, after all, there are precedents of burning everyone alive in the villages where the epidemic occurred in the previous dynasty."
Ning Yi was shocked and looked sideways slightly, in order not to spread the epidemic and burn the people of the whole village? He didn't say anything more, this method is indeed extremely cruel, but it also shows that the people of this era also know the truth that those who die of the epidemic should be burned.
"If the family can understand, I'll take a look."
Fortunately, he finally had medicine in his hand, and Ning Ji looked at a few critically ill patients, while an older doctor spoke when he went out:
"Ning Gongzi, the people inside may not be very good, your medicine is extremely precious, do you want to double it for them? Although the number of new infections in the past few days is lower than in previous days, the total number is already large. ”
Most of the people in the big tent on the edge are some elderly people, women, children and children, who may have some physical problems and can't bear the toss of dysentery, so they understand the doctor's idea and use a small amount of medicine to treat more people who are more likely to recover, which is no way.
But how can this ever be fair to people who are seriously ill? Ning's education made him think that everyone's life is equally precious, and giving up on a critically ill patient is like declaring death to a person who is pushed into the ICU, making him unable to accept this practice with peace of mind.
The situation that can be shown is always skinny, their medicine is limited, and three times the dose may not save a critically ill patient, but double the dose may restore the health of a young adult with severe infection symptoms, the total number is limited, and they must make trade-offs.
Ning Qi took a deep breath, and he divided the amount of medicine into a part:
"These are allocated to the people on the other side of the critical account, and we can't do anything beyond that, but if anyone can survive, we have to give them this opportunity."
Ning Yi can't give up the treatment and let them fend for themselves, but he won't stick to all his previous life creeds in this situation, natural selection may be the final choice in extreme environments, but before natural selection, he still wants them to have a chance to fight, but no more, he can't give it.
When he went back, Ning Qi sat in the carriage and was silent, he missed Yan Yunzhou very much at this time, he hoped that someone could talk to him, he remembered a report he had read before, which said that in the former primitive tribe, the old people would leave the tribe silently in the end, and not be the one who dragged their feet, everyone adhered to this principle.
So this tribe has always been able to maintain the freshest blood, the strongest young man, able to survive the war between the tribes, he was still in school when he first saw this report, the first time he read it, he only felt unbearable, unfair, but now it is a deep helplessness.
Sulfonamide has already been made, and the epidemic here Ning Ji can't make much contribution, Ning Ji is going to stay here for a few days and then go to Baicheng, but when he goes back, he suddenly sees the inner prison of the palace who has just gone out in front of the door of the palace.
Dark Xuan also noticed that the problem was wrong, and he tilted his head slightly:
"Ning Gongzi will wait and get out of the car."
Ning Ji secretly looked at the people outside by the window, this team was wearing the same clothes as the eunuch who came to give Yan Yunzhou the edict last time, it was obvious that they were people in the palace, and now Ning Ji really didn't have a good impression of the people in the palace, and the first impression was that the people in the palace began to behave as demons.
It wasn't until the group left that Ning Ji got off the carriage around the corner, and immediately entered the palace, he would pass by the hall on the way back to the courtyard, and when Ning Ji passed, he saw Li Yan holding a holy decree in his hand, and his heart suddenly jumped, and he hesitated for a while or passed.
"Your Highness, is it the palace that has decreed?"
Luo Yueli's face is very bad, people who always have a smile on their faces on weekdays, but at the moment, they are gloomy and heavy, and they can drip water, and Ning Qi's heart is a little bottomless.
Before Li Yan could speak, Luo Yueli spoke directly:
"Returning to Beijing this time is all kinds of dangers."
Ning's pupils shook:
"The emperor ordered to summon His Royal Highness back to Beijing?"
Li Yan casually put the holy decree in his hand aside and spoke:
"The beginning of next month is my father's birthday, and the palace ordered me to go to Beijing to worship the emperor."
Ning Yao's heart was raised, at this juncture, Yan Yunzhou had just resisted the decree and did not return to Beijing, no matter what, Yan Yunzhou's reason was still famous, but now the emperor ordered Li Yan to worship the first emperor's birthday, in this era of filial piety, there is no way to refute this reason.
If Li Yan doesn't return to Beijing, this time it will be the emperor who will be in charge, and even the hundred officials will have some opinions about Li Yan, but if he goes back, with the current emperor's level of suspicion, it is a question of whether Li Yan can come back.
Li Yan looked at Luo Yue, whose face turned pale, and left:
"Teacher, the palace has been completely alerted, but until now the emperor is not sure of my own ideas, nor is he sure of the strength of Youzhou, he called me back to Beijing at this time, in case Brother Yan used my name to get started, so in this case, it is impossible for him to directly charge me with any crime, and there is no reason to execute me, a few days ago I communicated with my mother, if I return to Beijing this time, I will go directly to the imperial tomb with her."
Luo Yueli pressed her eyebrows:
"I will send a letter to the capital soon, the people over there will protect you in secret, the Su family is not good at protecting you openly, now I am only afraid that the people in the palace will secretly attack."
After all, Li Yan came to Youzhou at the age of ten, and he has never done anything out of the ordinary for so many years, and he has never befriended courtiers, and his presence in the court is almost zero.
The first emperor is thin again, and the only one left out of the emperor is only two princes, and the other is disabled, this is a small transparent, so if there is no conclusive evidence, it is impossible for the emperor to publicly do anything to Li Yan, I am afraid that it will be done secretly, and when the emperor does not accept the violent death, he can blindfold everyone in the world.
There was no way to disobey this decree, and Li Yan went directly to the capital the day after receiving the decree, and Ning Yan stayed in Youzhou for another three days before preparing to leave for Baicheng.
Escorting him was Dark Xuan and five hundred Yan Yunzhou's private soldiers, from here to Baicheng if the frame walked slowly, it would take three days, but Ning Qi wanted to see Yan Yunzhou early at this time, fortunately, there were cavalry all the way, so Dark Xuan ordered a rapid march, and he could reach Baicheng in two days.
Along the way, Ning Yao was nested in the frame, and the bumpy frame couldn't sleep well at all, but in that hazy half-asleep, the figure in the dream appeared again, always dreaming of the same, this evil degree even Ning Yao was a little cautious, he always tried to see the person's face clearly in the dream, but he couldn't see it clearly, and he would wake up every time he wanted to see that face.
But he also had a very strong feeling, that is, that person seemed to be very familiar to him, this feeling that the more he wanted to see, the more he could not see, it was really a tormented person who wanted to go crazy, and he would rather sleep than sleep well, coupled with the busyness of the past few days, he faintly began to have a fever.
He himself is a doctor, and he can detect that something is wrong with his body at the first time, and he also knows that he may be too tired for several days, but the pain in his left abdomen on the first night of departure and the obvious feeling of wanting to go to the toilet made him immediately have a terrible guess, he may have been tricked.
Ning's symptoms couldn't be concealed from Dark Xuan, and Dark Xuan's face turned white:
"Ning Gongzi, are you?"
Ning Jiao's face was dripping with cold sweat, and when he saw the pus and blood in the things he pulled out just now, he understood that this round of dysentery had made him catch up, Ning Zhi commanded through the car window and Dark Xuan:
"Let the team behind stay away from us, don't go to the place I went to just now, you don't go when you get rid of your hands, we won't enter the city when we arrive tomorrow, we will be stationed outside the city, and the people behind will be separated, if there are no symptoms for three days, they will enter the city again."
"I will write a letter in a while, you quickly send someone to Baicheng to teach Yan Yunzhou, remember not to make a noise."
There is no epidemic in Baicheng now, he can't go in at this time to do this cancer, Dark Xuan was a little stunned when he heard the news of Ning Yao's infection, he didn't know how to explain to the prince, if their prince knew.
Ning Qi ran to the toilet countless times this night, saying that it was a toilet, in fact, on the way to this march, it was just to go to the woods on the side of the road to solve it, every time he squatted, Ning Qi was extremely nostalgic for the smart toilet he used to use, the swelling and pain, the feeling of wanting to pull and pulling was too TM fucking...
Yan Yunzhou knew that Ning Ji would arrive the next day, so he let people go out hunting early, hunted a deer and came back, and waited for Ning Ji to arrive and roast him to eat, and when he received Ning Ji's letter in the morning, he had a smile on his face, and he was finally able to meet, but when he saw the content of the letter, the blood on his face faded in an instant.
"Jinchu, I may have to enter the city two days late, I was recruited, hey, I still haven't escaped this dysentery, but don't worry, I'm young, I'm in good health, and I came out with sulfonamides, the problem shouldn't be big, I won't enter the city when I go outside Baicheng at night, I will be stationed outside the city, and then go in when I'm ready, don't come out to see me, don't be nervous, I'm very saved."
It can be seen that Ning Ji has tried his best to appease Yan Yunzhou in the letter, but all this is not as low as the impact of Ning Ji saying that he was infected with the epidemic, Yan Yunzhou even held the letter with his fingers shaking, he knows how many people have died from the epidemic this time, even if it is less than the previous epidemic, but who can guarantee that he will survive?
He looked at the guard who delivered the letter:
"How is he, tell the truth to this king."
"Lord Wang, Ning Gongzi didn't let us get closer, and only Lord Dark Xuan and a few guards were left around, but I saw Ning Gongzi get out of the car from a distance and go to relieve him many times.
Ning Gongzi ordered us to be stationed far away, and also explained that the people who traveled with us at night would not be stationed with him, but would find another place, and if there were no symptoms for three days, they could only enter the city. ”
Ning Qi can guarantee that these two days are the two days that he has lived for so many years to be uncomfortable, although he brought sulfonamides, but did not bring aspirin, he only kept enough for Yan Yunzhou to do last time, and the rest was given to the northern suburbs, and there is almost nothing left these days.
This high fever has not gone away since the high fever in the afternoon, he is still running to the toilet, and the pain in his lower abdomen has not been significantly relieved, and the most important thing is that he is even more uncomfortable in this carriage, this crime is simply ...
When he arrived outside Baicheng, his legs were already weak, and when he was about to find a place to set up camp, Dark Xuan immediately knocked on the car window:
"Young Master Ning, the prince is here."
Ning Yao's groggy head was awake for a moment when he heard the word "prince", and he opened his mouth without thinking, but his high-fever throat was as if it had been polished by sandpaper, and it was dry:
"Don't let him come."
Yan Yunzhou's pneumonia he didn't know how much effort it took to cure it, and now if he was infected, the severity would be different from that of a healthy person like him, and he would rather open his mouth without thinking.
Under the high city wall, Yan Yunzhou was dressed in a dark cloak, and the torches lit above the city tower reflected the silent anxiety on the man's face, he didn't even use the frame when he came out, and when he saw Ning Qi's team parked over there from a distance, he rode over directly, followed only by Dark Rain.
Darkening greeted him and knelt down on one knee in front of his horse:
"Lord Wang, Ning Gongzi ordered that you should not be allowed to lean into the frame."
Dark Xuan is also selfish, and he is also afraid that something will happen to Yan Yunzhou:
"I don't see that he can't settle down, get out of the way."
Dark Xuan's posture did not move at all, Yan Yunzhou naturally knew that he was stubborn, and he no longer talked nonsense, he directly turned the horse's head and went directly, and even stumbled a step when he got off the horse, Ning Qi heard the sound of the horse's hooves approaching:
"Yan Yunzhou, don't come up, I'm fine."
Yan Yunzhou heard that his voice was wrong, and he was even more anxious in his heart:
"I'll go up and see you, you see, I brought the gloves you made before, the mask, and the alcohol, obedient, let me see you."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Ning Qi to speak, so he directly opened the door of the car, and an oil lamp was lit in the carriage, the light was dim, but it still reflected Ning Qi's red face.
No one thought that when two people met again after almost ten days, it would be like this, rather than being a doctor, and having a clear grasp of the progress and situation of the disease, but it is one thing to see a doctor and say that the situation is one thing, and it is another thing to take your turn.
Fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, plus the endless bumpy carriage has already given Ning Ji no temper, people are extremely fragile when they are sick, even doctors can't escape this law, reason told him that he shouldn't see Yan Yunzhou at this time, but emotionally he just met him, there was no reason to talk about it.
When he met the eyes full of worry, Ning Widow Wang's most fragile emotions began to explode, and he even felt that his eyes were a little sour, but he still shrank into the carriage and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"You just sit at the door, don't come."
Yan Yunzhou looked at the eyes with messy hair, red face, and some crystal water reflected by the firelight, and his heart was a throbbing pain, how could he get it like this in a few days, a little pitiful, he didn't know how to feel distressed.
He didn't listen to Ning's words:
"Don't worry, I'll change my clothes when I go back, didn't you say that this disease can't be transmitted through breathing? Face so red and feverish? Do you take any medication? ”
Yan Yunzhou got on the frame, fearing that he would catch a cold and closed the door, and approached the person hiding in the corner of the carriage:
"I've taken sulfonamides, I didn't bring aspirin, it's fine, this disease is not a serious disease, I don't have any underlying diseases, it's okay, go down quickly, you are different from me, if you are infected, you will be in trouble."
Ning Ji waved his hand at him, signaling him to hurry up, Yan Yunzhou was distressed, as soon as he grabbed the waving wrist with his hand, he directly pulled the person over, and hugged him in his arms, Ning Ji was a little stunned for a moment, and began to struggle after reacting, but Yan Yunzhou's arm was like made of iron, no matter how he tossed, he couldn't toss it:
"Let go."
"You don't know how to let people pass the word without medicine, so just do it? I see that your ass is underbeaten, and when you are well, we will settle this account. ”
Yan Yunzhou's voice was tight, it could be seen that he was really frightened by what happened to Ning Ji this time, and the wide embrace gave Ning Ji a feeling of being firmly chosen, and at this moment when his emotions were the most vulnerable, the first time emotion overcame reason and he didn't struggle anymore.
"Why are you so unsympathetic, I'm like this..."
