I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 266 Arrangement and Winning Over

"Imperial Physician Cui, I believe you also know that someone in Moxuan Palace has been infected with smallpox!" The eldest prince looked at Cui Shan and said with a slight flash in his eyes.

"I just found out. I was about to go into the palace to deal with some things when I was called by the eldest prince." Cui Shan lowered his brows, his mind turning slightly, wondering what the eldest prince wanted to call him at this time.

“I urged the imperial physician to find me before. When your two clinics discuss medicine, you asked me to stand on the side of your Miaoshou Clinic. Now I can agree to your request.

But you have to do something for me." The eldest prince glanced at the imperial physician and then said slowly.

"I don't know what's the matter? Please tell me in detail, Your Highness." Cui Shan asked with an idea in his mind after hearing the words.

"This matter is very simple for you, Imperial Physician Cui.

I just want you to sell all the medicinal materials in your Miaoshou Clinic that are used to treat smallpox to me." The eldest prince stared at Cuishan and said.

“This…” Cui Shan’s expression changed when he heard it.

He knew at this moment that this time he had to buy all the medicinal materials for treating smallpox. The eldest prince wanted to compete for that position, and now he wanted to kill the fourth prince to reduce his opponents.

This opponent is the legitimate son.

"Crown Prince, these medicinal herbs are not owned by my family, and the Rejuvenation Clinic also has these herbs. This will only work if you can monopolize the herbs in the Rejuvenation Clinic." Cui Shan was a little hesitant. He knew that once he agreed to the crown prince's request, he would be standing on the crown prince's side and becoming a tool for the crown prince to fight for the throne.

“Don’t worry about this, I have already sent people to the Huichun Clinic to purchase a large amount of these medicinal herbs.

Now tell me whether you are willing to sell me the herbs for treating smallpox." The eldest prince said at the end, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice became gloomy.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll do as His Highness says." Cui Shan pondered for a moment, but no matter what he thought of, he decided to agree to the eldest prince's request.

He knew that he had no choice at this moment.

"Okay, then you prepare the herbs now, and I will send someone to get them this afternoon." The eldest prince nodded with satisfaction.

Cui Shan stood there with a solemn expression. He knew that the battle for imperial power had become increasingly fierce. He should not have been involved in such a dispute, but now, he could no longer stay out of it.

He sighed, left the eldest prince's residence, and walked towards the medicine shop. He had to prepare the herbs as soon as possible, otherwise if the eldest prince found out that he was delaying, his fate would be very miserable.

…….

Inside Moxuan Palace.

"Master, Imperial Physician Xu, Wang Jie and I have checked all the palace maids in Moxuan Palace, and so far, we have not found any symptoms of smallpox in anyone." Xu Ming reported to Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with deep thought. She said in a deep voice: "Smallpox is a serious disease. You must be careful and cautious. If you find any abnormality, report it to me immediately."

“The situation has been stabilized for now.

However, we will be busy later. The six of us need to make careful arrangements. In addition to drinking soup and medicine to strengthen our vital energy every day, we also need to get enough sleep and strengthen our physical fitness to reduce the chance of infection.

As for the Fourth Prince, you, Bai Yan, will personally take care of and treat him during the day, and I will be in charge at night.

Chen Xiu, you are responsible for the kitchen meals, making soups and medicines, managing medicinal materials, etc. You must ensure that there are enough medicinal materials and food.

Lin Yuan, Xu Ming, and Wang Jie, the three of you are responsible for checking the physical conditions of other palace servants in Moxuan Palace every day. Once any symptoms of smallpox are found, isolate them immediately and be responsible for their treatment.

The three people were divided into three groups, four hours a day, and they tried to get more rest and not work too hard to cure the disease.

Chen Xiu, here are two prescriptions. One is to grind it into powder and have the palace maids light it and fumigate the room where you live. Not only that, but also the entire Moxuan Palace needs to be fumigated.

On a piece of rice paper, it is written what you need to do every day and some precautions. "After Xu Qingyi finished speaking, everyone present nodded in agreement.

"Master, there is one thing I don't understand." Xu Ming hesitated and asked.

"You say." Xu Qingyi looked at Xu Ming.

"What should we do if everyone in Moxuan Palace, including a few of us, gets smallpox? Will the Imperial Hospital send other imperial doctors to Moxuan Palace for treatment?" Xu Ming's eyes showed worry.

"If that's the case, we can only leave it to fate." Xu Qingyi sighed, then looked at everyone and said solemnly: "But as long as we do our best, do our best, and leave it to fate, we will have no regrets."

When everyone heard this, they were all silent, but they did not regret coming to Mo Xuan Palace.

Smallpox is a very serious infectious disease. Once infected, the mortality rate is extremely high. If someone in Moxuan Palace is really infected, the consequences will be disastrous.

But they also knew that this was not the time to retreat. Only by doing their best could they fight for a glimmer of hope for the Fourth Prince and the palace maids of Moxuan Palace.

"Okay, let's get to work." Xu Qingyi waved his hand, and everyone dispersed and started to get busy.

And in this Mo Xuan Palace, a fight against smallpox has quietly begun.

In the afternoon, the Fourth Prince developed a high fever, accompanied by a rash on his body and several small blisters. It can now be confirmed that the Fourth Prince has also been infected with smallpox.

"Is this... smallpox?" The Fourth Prince, who was lying on the bed, also saw the red rash on his arm. His face changed and he said in a somewhat unwilling tone.

"Yes! We only need to endure ten days or half a month, and the smallpox will be gone.

However, Your Highness will feel itchy in the next few days, but try to hold it in and don't scratch it, otherwise you will be disfigured after you recover." Bai Yan told the Fourth Prince.

"I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Bai and Imperial Physician Xu from now on." The Fourth Prince took a deep breath. As long as he could endure the pain and cooperate with the treatment, he would be able to survive this.

After someone in Mo Xuan Palace was infected with smallpox, the emperor, empress, queen mother and others were not in the palace. For a while, the palace was in chaos and people were in panic.

It was Prime Minister Fu who entered the palace, controlled the situation, and sent troops to guard the entrances and exits of the Moxuan Palace, temporarily controlling the situation.

However, when the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital heard that someone in Moxuan Palace was infected with smallpox, they thought that imperial doctors would be needed to treat the patient. Many of them immediately asked for leave and refused to enter the palace.

The imperial doctors who had already entered the palace to serve on duty regretted slapping their thighs, but when they heard that Imperial Doctor Xu, Imperial Doctor Bai and their four apprentices were going to Moxuan Palace to treat the Fourth Prince, they felt a little relieved.

But he was still afraid that he would be sent to Mo Xuan Palace for treatment.
