Chapter 208 There is a cure for the plague
After the plague broke out, everyone in the capital, from the imperial physician to the doctors in ordinary pharmacies, tried their best to find a way to treat the plague.
Unfortunately, doctors in the capital city have been studying for many days but still have found nothing.
The plague spread throughout the capital at an extremely ferocious speed. Any patient who started to have a high fever and had a rash on his body would usually not survive more than seven days. The rash would all ulcerate all over the body, and the patient would die from pus all over the body.
For a time, the entire capital city was shrouded in a layer of haze.
In the Governor's Mansion, Yi Qianhuan was decocting medicine.
There were dozens of stoves for decocting medicine in the backyard. The charcoal fire was burning hot, and the medicine in the medicine pots was boiling.
A strong medicinal aroma spread in the air. Yi Qianhuan was studying a medical book seriously. Then he saw Shen Yubao stumbling towards him with a medicine bowl in his arms.
Yi Qianhuan's mind moved, and he grabbed Shen Yubao's hand: "Yubao, didn't I tell you not to go out? Now that the plague is rampant, it is safest to stay in your room."
"But it's too boring for me to stay in the room alone. Besides, no one in the Governor's Mansion has contracted the plague yet, so it's generally safe." Shen Yubao put down the medicine bowl and wiped the dust off Yi Qianhuan's face with a handkerchief.
He then stopped to drink a sip of the tea that had already gone cold. Yi Qianhuan saw that the medicine in a medicine jar had been boiled, so he picked up the jar and walked to the back door.
He raised his hand and knocked on the back door, and Yi Qianhuan soon heard the noise coming from outside the door.
"Please don't come out, Madam Crown Prince. I will send this medicine out to the patients for trial." The voice of Jinyiwei Qin Yan was heard outside the door.
Yi Qianhuan frowned: "How long do I have to stay here? If I go out and meet those patients, I can prescribe the right medicine."
Since the plague began, extremely extreme situations have occurred in the capital.
All the patients lived in specially built tents, and most of them were controlled in the west and north of the city, while those who were not yet infected with the plague often lived in the east and west of the city.
Because she did not suffer from the plague, she was kept in the Governor's Mansion in the east of the city and had no chance to go out.
Outside the door, Qin Yan's voice sounded very embarrassed: "Madam, this plague is coming fiercely. If you leave the Governor's Mansion, you will not be able to come back easily, and you will not be able to accompany the young master and Master Mobao all the time."
Yi Qianhuan looked tangled: "But hiding all the time is not a long-term solution. If the plague cannot be cured, the east and west of the city will fall sooner or later."
Qin Yan: "I heard that Helian Guoshen has already developed a preventive prescription. Since the last outbreak, the plague in the entire capital has been effectively controlled. Perhaps Helian Guoshen still has a way to deal with the plague. Please be patient."
After hearing this, Yi Qianhuan was unable to refute Qin Yan.
If she didn't want to leave Mobao and Yubao, she would immediately go to the south and north of the city to observe the conditions of those patients in detail.
Yi Qianhuan was struggling with the fact that Yi Mobao's condition had not improved in the past few days when he heard a commotion coming from the front yard.
"There is a cure for the plague! There is a cure for the plague—!"
Yi Qianhuan heard the commotion coming from the front yard. She was disturbed and immediately put on a veil, then walked quickly towards the front yard.
When she arrived at the front yard, Shen Yubao was wearing a veil and talking to a maid who came from the front yard.
"Just now I heard you say that you have already developed a way to cure the plague?" Yi Qianhuan's eyes were filled with anticipation, and he asked, "What exactly happened? How was it solved?"
The maid said, "It's all thanks to Helian Guoshen! Helian Guoshen found the antidote! Just this morning, Helian Guoshen gave a decoction to the dying patients. As a result, within two hours, the rashes on these patients stopped festering, and their fevers also subsided!"
Yi Qianhuan listened patiently to the maid's description of what had happened.
"So, now Helian Ziyu has a way to temporarily control the patients' conditions, but has not yet cured them?" Seeing the maid nodding like a chick pecking at rice, Yi Qianhuan said thoughtfully: "I really didn't expect that Helian Ziyu actually has such a skill."
"Yeah, I've only heard that Helian Ziyu has a lot of weird ideas and can come up with a lot of strange inventions, but I didn't expect that he is also proficient in medicine?" Shen Yubao exclaimed.
Yi Qianhuan had never heard before that Helian Ziyu had the ability to cure diseases and save lives.
Otherwise, Helian Ziyu would have come to the Governor's Mansion to treat Yu Bao earlier, and would not have tried to steal Mo Bao's credit.
I always feel that based on Helian Ziyu's personality, if he really has the ability, he will definitely not hide it. Yi Qianhuan is not sure whether his guess is correct.
After all, Helian Ziyu has modern knowledge. Does that mean he used modern medicine?
However, even if you are a time traveler, it doesn't mean you can use modern medicine effectively whenever you want.
Seeing Shen Yubao's suspicion, the maid said without thinking: "Young Master, Helian Guoshen had predicted the outbreak of the plague a long time ago, and 80% of the people who listened to the Guoshen and drank preventive medicine in advance did not get sick. Now Helian Guoshen is the only one who can help the patients, which shows that the Guoshen is really powerful!"
There was a hint of cold light in Yi Qianhuan's phoenix eyes, and he observed the maid carefully.
The people in the Governor's Mansion have always been neutral, and even under the influence of their masters, they will treat Helian Ziyu with a more rational attitude.
But now the hearts of these servants have slowly shifted towards Helian Ziyu.
After all, Helian Ziyu is the only person who can control the plague now. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is truly like a god.
"You are right, Helian Ziyu is indeed amazing. You go down first, I will take Yubao back to rest." Yi Qianhuan put his arm around Shen Yubao's shoulders and sent him back.
Seeing that Yi Qianhuan had been silent all the way, Shen Yubao quickly smiled and said, "Fairy sister, you don't have to care about what the maid said just now..."
"Don't worry, I don't care. I'm just curious." Yi Qianhuan looked straight ahead and said thoughtfully, "I can understand everything else, but I don't understand why Helian Ziyu could predict the coming of the plague in advance? As far as I know, even the national god does not have the power of prophecy."
The power of the prophet is an extremely mysterious power that is rumored to be able to predict the future.
Even in the long history, there are no more than three such people.
If Helian Ziyu really had this ability, he would never have hidden it until now.
Shen Yubao couldn't figure it out either. He held Yi Qianhuan's hand and said, "Fairy sister, let's not worry about it. Anyway, when Helian Ziyu is cured of the plague, we can take Brother Mo out to play! I've been staying at home these days and I'm bored."
The gloom in his heart disappeared because of Shen Yubao's words. Yi Qianhuan nodded, and then he saw Shen Yubao beside him suddenly felt weak under his feet and fell straight to the ground.
