Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan worked fast, and in less than half a day, King Xuan Ping's men arrived outside the city of Nanhuai Mansion.But before they had time to enter the city, Xuan Miao came looking for them on a fast horse:

"Master, you are back. If you don't come back, the subordinates should send someone to find you."

Fu Guan reined in his horse and stopped, with a tall and straight figure sitting on the horse's back, and asked, "What happened?" What could change Xuan Miao's expression was probably the change of the epidemic in the city:

"But the epidemic situation in the city is getting worse?"

Xuan Miao's expression was indescribable: "Yes or no, this matter is complicated, please ask the prince and his subordinates to go to the isolation ward to take a look."

Fu Guan realized that things might not be simple, so he said, "Okay, I understand." Then he looked back at Lou Xiyue.

But before he could speak, Lou Xiyue said, "I'll go with you."

After she met Wen Jisheng and Fu Guan outside the Nanhuai Mansion, she also helped deal with the flood.Now that the epidemic has changed suddenly, she also wants to know the specific situation and what happened.

Knowing that he couldn't stop her, Fu Guan knew that she had an idea, so he said, "It's not too late, let's go there now."

While speaking, the three of them immediately turned around and headed towards the ward.

*
After the floods in Nanhuai Prefecture gradually subsided, an epidemic that spread extremely quickly followed.Although the epidemic came quickly and violently at this time, such things are not uncommon for the Jiangnan area.

Every summer, there are often floods in the lower reaches of the Huai River.According to the local chronicles of previous years, every time there is a major flood, there will be different degrees of epidemics.

In previous years, the imperial physicians in the palace racked their brains to treat the epidemic in the south of the Yangtze River, and analyzed the cause of the epidemic, which was most likely affected by the flood——

Days of heavy rain caused the river to flood. The rainwater and river water mixed with the excrement of livestock and wild animals flooded the land with the waves, and the drinking water quality of the people was inevitably polluted.

But for all mortal wombs, if the filthy water enters the belly, this disease and that pain will naturally be inevitable.What's more, in this dirty water, there may still be corpses of snakes, rats and ants in the wild.

The people used the polluted water, and the outbreak of the epidemic was unavoidable.

Although it was unavoidable, for the sake of the people's well-being, the imperial court also thought of many countermeasures based on past experience in fighting floods and epidemics.

Therefore, whether it is floods or epidemics, Nanhuai government offices also have corresponding emergency plans.When the imperial court sent Fu Guan, the imperial envoy, to the south, the prefect of Nanhuai had already distributed Qingliangjiedu soup to the people.

It's just that the effect of interpreting the soup is limited, and Nanhuai Prefecture has been severely damaged by floods, not only the medicinal materials are insufficient, but there are not many doctors to treat the disease.Therefore, Fu Guancai turned to Huaijiang Mansion for help.

Today he saw Xuan Miao's expression was different, he thought that the epidemic situation in Nanhuai Mansion had worsened, but he didn't expect that when they rushed to the isolation ward, the situation on the scene was far from what he expected.

The medical center for consultation and consultation established by the government is still there, but the number of patients in it has decreased by half.

The doctors, who were too busy before, now have a lot more staff. They are busy with consultations, decoctions, or bandages, and none of the injured is left behind.

Not only that, the gloomy clouds inside and outside the ward a few days ago now seem to be joking, without any sense of tension or panic.

Lou Xiyue stepped forward: "It doesn't look like a lack of medicinal materials or a lack of doctors." She couldn't help but wonder, so she pointed to the medical center ahead and asked:
"Where did those doctors come from? Why didn't I see them before? Could it be that you and Xuan Yi found helpers outside?"

Fu Guan also asked: "After we left Nanhuai Mansion, what happened here?"

Xuan Miao shook his head first, and answered Lou Xiyue's question: "How can we have such a great ability to call so many doctors at once." Then he looked at his master and said:
"My lord, those doctors were brought by a medicine merchant from Guicheng. My subordinates have inquired about it. The medicine merchant's surname is Qi and his name is Lian. His ancestors made a fortune in the medicine business."

Lou Xiyue: "A businessman surnamed Qi, Qi Lian?" I've never heard of such a person in Guicheng.

"That's right." Xuan Miao nodded and said, "According to what the servants around Qi Lian said, their Qi family plans to expand their medicine business and open several medical clinics and drugstores in the capital.

"Qi Lian, son of the Qi family, brought a dozen doctors under his family and several carts of medicinal materials to the capital for this purpose. It was just passing through the Nanhuai Mansion, and seeing the local people suffering from the epidemic, Qi Lian brought them along. Staying in Nanhuai Mansion for the time being, to solve the urgent needs of the people."

Fu Guan raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "It seems that this drug dealer is still a good man with a warm heart and a kind heart as a doctor." He raised his eyes and looked not far away, and asked again:
"How is the condition of the epidemic patients now? Those doctors have cured them?"

Xuanmiao said: "Although not all patients' diseases have been eradicated, it is almost the same." He said: "It's strange, I don't know what kind of prescription they used, but the effect is better than the prescription prescribed by the doctor we brought. Son is fine.

"The common people took a dose of the medicine they prescribed, and in just two days, the epidemic was greatly improved. On the third day, there was no other abnormality except for some coughing."

Hearing this, Fu Guan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is it really that powerful?"

Xuan Miao: "Subordinates dare not lie, this matter is absolutely true." He said: "You don't know, on the day you set off for Huaijiang Mansion, the scope of the epidemic spread more widely.

"The subordinates are in a hurry because of the epidemic at this time, and they are worried that they will not be able to find a doctor. It so happened that Qi Lian showed up with someone—they hurriedly asked a few people for their pulse, and turned around and tore up the original prescription."

Lou Xiyue: "From what it sounds like, their behavior seems to be a little too arrogant to take people from the imperial court seriously."

Xuan Miao: "My subordinates also thought that they were making trouble intentionally, but unexpectedly, the medicine they prescribed was indeed effective, and the effect was remarkable. After one night, those bedridden patients could get out of bed the next day. Moved."

Hearing Xuan Miao's words, Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan looked at each other silently, both were surprised.

Fu Guan: "There is such a brilliant art, but I have never heard of it in the past. It seems that this drug dealer named 'Qi Lian' has a lot of background—" He immediately asked: "Where is he now? I want to see him."

Not to mention that Fu Guan wanted to meet this person, even Lou Xiyue was so curious that he wanted to meet him for a while.

Xuan Miao: "This..."

Before Xuan Miao could finish speaking, another voice suddenly came from behind the three of them: "You want to see my master? That's really a misfortune. Yesterday, the master saw that the illness of the people had been effectively controlled, and he had already gone to the inn where he was staying to rest. went."

After the words fell, Fu Guan and the others all turned their heads to look.

They saw a young man in a blue gown standing behind them, dragging a medicine pot in his hand.

The young man smiled, and his eyes fell on Fu Guan: "You must be the famous King Xuanping, right? Caomin has met the prince, and the prince is a thousand years old."
