Chapter 358
In the evening of that day, the imperial court issued an edict prohibiting people from moving around, and dispatched the imperial doctors from the palace to control the spread of the epidemic.

For a time, everyone in the capital was in danger.

Most of the shops on the street were closed, and the capital, which was bustling a few days ago, suddenly became quiet like an empty city.

The business of Baicao Hall was still the same, and Ye Qingling was on the front line of curbing the epidemic. She took the medicine bag and rushed to Shengmen Street.

Shengmen Avenue has been completely surrounded by officials, only allowed to enter but not to leave. After Ye Qingling revealed her identity and purpose, she received a wooden sign from the official station, and then she was allowed to enter.

Even though she had already made psychological preparations, Ye Qingling couldn't help being startled by the scene in front of her eyes.

In the narrow alleys of Shengmen Avenue, there is a person lying down every step he takes.

The faces of each of them were extremely pale and weak, and there was no expression in their eyes, only a bottomless silence.

Since the government ordered the closure of Shengmen Street and violent suppression to prevent these people from escaping, these people suffering from the epidemic thought they were abandoned.

They no longer dare to hope for extravagance.

Ye Qingling approached the Imperial Physician Zhang sent by the imperial court, and wanted to ask if they had found out the source of the epidemic and had they discussed a specific treatment plan.

Doctor Zhang was not surprised to see her coming to help, but shook his head solemnly and sighed: "Miss Baixian, this epidemic is really weird."

Ye Qingling understood what Doctor Zhang meant, and she also found it strange.

In the past, the sudden epidemics were mostly after catastrophes. Too many people died, and the corpses that were too late to deal with piled up together, and the epidemics were easy to breed from the rotting corpses.

There are also some diseases that are transmitted from animals, and in this case, human-to-human transmission generally does not occur.

Doctor Zhang's expression revealed deep exhaustion and helplessness, and he said in a hoarse voice: "This epidemic is so weird. We have studied it for a long time, but we haven't found the source of the epidemic."

"Moreover, the speed of this epidemic spread from person to person is faster than any epidemic I have ever seen before. It doesn't even require physical contact, just a sneeze or a mouthful of saliva, and the epidemic can spread. This is incredible..."

He has practiced medicine for decades, and he has never seen such a vicious disease.

If they hadn't prepared protection in advance and covered their mouths and noses with napkins soaked in water, they would not even dare to approach those patients.

Ye Qingling's face turned serious, and together with Doctor Zhang, he diagnosed and treated the patients who first started showing symptoms of the disease.

Doctor Zhang took the patient's pulse in front, while Ye Qingling observed from behind.

Most of the patients who contracted the epidemic this time felt dizzy, feverish, trance-eyed, and weak.

In severe cases, some patients may even experience hallucinations.

The raging epidemic plunged the capital into panic, and everyone was in danger.

Every time Tao Bo tried to persuade Ye Qingling not to go to Shengmen Street in person, it was inevitable that he was accidentally tricked.

But she still insisted on going to the sick people to see a doctor every day, and when she came back, she shut herself in the room and studied the prescription.

She and Doctor Zhang tried many methods, but none of the antidote formulated could suppress the disease.

Gradually, Ye Qingling became restless and agitated. She didn't think about eating and drinking. After a few days, she became haggard and thinner visible to the naked eye.

Kuerge has been seeing what she has done these days, but he can't understand: "This epidemic is not your responsibility alone, why push yourself to the point, what are you trying to do?"

Ye Qingling glanced at him slowly, and said in a calm tone, "It is the duty of a doctor to save the dying and heal the wounded. I just do my duty well. Do I have to have a plan?"

She just wanted to save as many people as she could.

Those pairs of despairing and empty eyes on Shengmen Street were always hovering in her heart, and she couldn't turn a blind eye.

Kuerge stared at her seriously, and secretly said in his heart, this white fairy has a side that he admires.

The next day, Kuerge followed Ye Qingling to Shengmen Street to save lives.

But the disease still could not be contained.

Ye Qingling, who was tired all day, returned to Baicao Hall, and suddenly grabbed Kuerge who was about to go back to the room to rest: "Little leader, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Her expression and tone became serious, as if something big was about to happen next.

Kuerge withdrew his yawning motion, his brows condensed slightly: "What's the matter?"

Ye Qingling took a deep breath, met Kurre's deep eyes, and said word by word: "I want to use the medical skills in the medical fairy's fragment..."

Before she could speak, Kuerge directly vetoed it: "No!"

His attitude was very firm, and his tone was cold: "I know what you're thinking, you want to control the epidemic as soon as possible and save more people, but have you thought about how to explain it to Doctor Zhang and others?"

"Everyone has been studying together for so many days and have no clue. You suddenly use the method in the fragmented scroll of the Immortal Doctor, which will definitely attract suspicion!"

Ye Qingling had expected that he would not agree easily, so she said in a deep voice, "I know I will be suspected, but I don't care about that much..."

Kuerge didn't frown.

Ye Qingling didn't give him a chance to refute, and pleaded in a soft tone: "I'm not using my medical skills to harm others, so it's okay?"

"Little leader, you also saw it on Shengmen Street today. It is a purgatory on earth, and the people lying there are all living people."

"If it continues to delay, more people will die."

There was sourness and sadness in Kuerge's eyes, thinking of those people who were moaning in pain, he felt uncomfortable.

But if the prescriptions in the fragmented scrolls of the Immortal Doctor are exposed to the world, it will also break their rule of prohibiting the medical skills of the fragmented scrolls...

Ye Qingling walked up to him step by step, and looked up at him: "Little leader, human life is a matter of heaven and earth, I hope you can be considerate, I believe that when the medical fairy left this fragmented scroll, it was also in the hope of future generations." People can use the medicine inside to save people.”

They clearly have the ability to control the epidemic and save the suffering people.

Kuerge took a deep breath and rubbed his face vigorously, as if he had made a particularly difficult decision, his voice was a little hoarse: "I'll be with you, let's study a new prescription together..."

Ye Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared in his eyes: "Okay, I thank you on behalf of the people in the capital."

Ye Qingling wrote out the prescriptions for the epidemic in the fragments according to memory.

After looking at the prescription, Kurge pointed to the herbs on it and said, "These herbs are only found in northern Xinjiang, and they are also extremely difficult to find in northern Xinjiang."

He frowned and sighed helplessly: "It must be too late to look for it now. If we want to use this prescription to save people, we must improve the prescription."

Improvement?

How to improve?What kind of medicine is needed to replace those herbs?
Ye Qingling had a headache again.
