Chapter 554
Imperial Doctor Cao poured the wine himself this time. He filled it up for Uncle Di Guo first, and then poured his own cup. "Tonight, Uncle Guangguo presents a toast to the official. It's the official's turn to present a drink to Uncle Guo."
Uncle Di Guo was just waiting for him to say. At this moment, he toasted with wine without any excuse. He immediately finished the glass, put down the glass and asked, "Then what did the Crown Princess say?"
Doctor Cao said: "The Crown Princess said that she saw leprosy after reading the Xiaoyan Book. She came over to ask for advice."
Uncle Di Guo was startled. "Xiaoyan originally wrote about leprosy? How is this possible?"
Doctor Cao shrugged and said with a smile: "Who is going to find out whether it is true or false? Come on and continue drinking."
Uncle Di Guo smiled and said, "If I really have leprosy, I'm afraid I won't let you know."
Doctor Cao said: "That's because the Crown Princess is here. However, to tell you the truth, Man'er, the maid of the Prince of Chu's Palace, did go to the drugstore to grab the medicine to treat leprosy. It's just that this is a secret. No one knows about it."
"Really?" Uncle Di Guo's eyes lit up. "Are you sure?"
"No more, no more. This matter has nothing to do with us. Drinking. Drinking." Dr. Cao began to remain silent.
Uncle Di Guo saw that he couldn't get anything out of his questioning, so he drank a few more drinks casually, and then left on the pretext that he had something to do.
Doctor Cao went back to report to Yu Wenhao, saying that Uncle Di Guo had indeed asked about Grandma Xi.
Yu Wenhao sat behind the desk with a smile on his face, "Okay, just ask."
Doctor Cao hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, is Grandma Xi really suffering from leprosy?"
Yu Wenhao waved his hand, "How is that possible? Grandma Xi has been in the palace before, and she has been in the Chu Palace after leaving the palace. She has never been to a place where leprosy patients gather. How could she get leprosy for no reason?"
Doctor Cao was a little worried, "It's great that grandma hasn't gone out for more than a month. Why is that?"
Yu Wenhao looked outside and lowered his voice: "I can tell you, but you are not allowed to tell anyone."
Dr. Cao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You said that Wei Chen will definitely not tell anyone else."
Yu Wenhao laughed like a thief, "Auntie Xi is trying to vent her anger with the chief assistant. Look at the several times the chief assistant has come here, is she looking down on him? There are several times when he is not allowed in."
Imperial Doctor Cao understood, "So, how did the Chief Assistant offend Grandma Xi? Grandma Xi is such a nice person, why did the Chief Assistant bully Grandma Xi?"
"A man!" Yu Wenhao said in a long voice, "Virtue!"
As for what kind of virtue it is, the imperial doctor will figure it out for himself, and whatever he figures out will be what it is.
Imperial Physician Cao sighed, "I'm so old, but I still don't know how to restrain myself!"
"That's right!" Yu Wenhao agreed.
After Dr. Cao left, Yu Wenhao asked Xu Yi to go to the hospital and grab some medicine to treat leprosy.
Two days later, a spy came from the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Xu Yi, who had been sent medicine to Aunt Xi's house, discovered him and led his men in pursuit, injuring him but failing to capture him.
Two days later, Uncle Di Guo reported to the court that Grandma Xi had leprosy. However, the prince ignored the danger of an outbreak and deliberately concealed it, hiding the leprosy patient in the palace.
The whole court was shocked when they heard that there were lepers in the Prince of Chu's palace.
Officials present all remember the panic surrounding the epidemic five years ago. Leprosy patients were diagnosed almost every day. People were panicked and people wanted to flee.
At that time, Emperor Ming Yuan had just ascended the throne and made a decisive decision. He immediately checked the patients and sent them to Leprosy Mountain for isolation. He then used lime powder to disinfect the place where the patients had lived. All the clothes and daily necessities used by the patients were burned to prevent the infection from spreading to other people.
people.
During that time, almost the entire capital was under the shadow of leprosy. Those who were infected were physically sick, and those who were not sick were mentally ill. Because the imperial court announced that the disease had an incubation period of several years, everyone was afraid of it.
I am a sick person.
Now, when Uncle Di Guo said these three words in the court hall, how could the whole court not be shocked?
