Ji Moyan walked through the crowd wearing a face towel, then walked to a three-year-old child and squatted down to treat him.
The child had been infected with the epidemic for more than ten days. His little face was sallow and thin due to the disease, and his little hands were as thin and small as shriveled chicken feet. It made everyone feel very sad to see him.
His father had passed away due to the epidemic, leaving only a dying mother holding him tightly.
After Ji Moyan checked his pulse, his brows could not be furrowed any deeper.
These days, she tried many methods but failed to control the epidemic. More and more people were brought from the epidemic area, and more and more people were carried away.
She felt guilty that she had not perfected her medical skills. If her father were here, he would be able to quickly solve this plague.
The child finally closed his eyes, but the mother next to him didn't even have the strength to cry. She only shed a drop of clear tears, and then followed her only child without any worries...
Ji Moyan's tears also dried up. Once again... once again someone lost their life in front of her eyes. As a doctor, she couldn't save their lives...
Ji Moyan suppressed the sadness in her heart and called the men sent from the palace to carry the mother and son down.
When he turned around, he accidentally bumped into a strong chest.
The man was also wearing a face towel, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.
After Ji Moyan was in a daze for a moment, he immediately recognized that it was the second prince... Xiao Jinwen!
Ji Moyan was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Jinwen said feebly: "I want to do something for the people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jinwen's eyes were blurred and he fell into Ji Moyan's arms.
Ji Moyan was in a panic and hurriedly called for someone to take Xiao Jinwen to a slightly quieter place. Ji Moyan forced herself to calm down and felt Xiao Jinwen's pulse with trembling hands.
God bless him, please don’t let him get infected!!
Ji Moyan put her hand on Xiao Jinwen's pulse, checked it carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God, he just didn't eat and was too tired, so he fainted...
Not long after, Xiao Jinwen woke up faintly. At this time, it was dark outside and there were weak candles burning inside. Meanwhile, Ji Moyan sat with the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to study how to diagnose and treat the epidemic, and what kind of patients there were.
Different symptoms.
The candlelight flickered, and the firelight reflected on Ji Moyan's face, which looked thin due to many days of hard work. Although her face was full of exhaustion, her eyes were shining with light.
Xiao Jinwen felt that she was the real herself! As the wife of the Hou Mansion, she was like a caged bird, noble but without freedom.
As if feeling Xiao Jinwen's gaze, Ji Moyan turned around and saw that Xiao Jinwen had woken up, with a face full of surprise, "Are you awake? It scared me to death. I thought you were infected with the epidemic!" said Ji Moyan.
Then he took out a piece of snack from his arms and handed it to him, "How long has it been since you had a good meal and a good rest? You can still faint!"
Xiao Jinwen looked ashamed and took the incomplete snack, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"
Ji Moyan shook her head, "What are you talking about! I just heard from Imperial Physician Fu that you have been helping here since the beginning of the epidemic, and you even ate and lived with the imperial physicians. I should thank you on behalf of the people!"
"
Xiao Jinwen shook his head.
What does he have to be grateful for? He was destined to join the imperial family and enjoy all the glory and wealth, the love of his parents and the harmony of his brothers. At this time, he was just making a small contribution to the people when they were in danger.
Xiao Jinwen looked at Ji Moyan and said sincerely: "I should thank you on behalf of the people. Thank you for saving the people regardless of danger. Miss Yan'er is really a great woman!"
Ji Moyan was a little embarrassed to be praised by Xiao Jinwen, and said with shame: "It would be great if I could really help. Unfortunately, I am not good at learning, so I can only watch them endure the pain."
As he said that, Ji Moyan thought of the mother and child today. The child was only three years old...
Ji Moyan's face was full of sadness, and her eyes were shining with tears. Xiao Jinwen quickly comforted her: "Miss Yan'er, natural disasters are ruthless, and it is not your or my responsibility! I believe that one day, we will defeat the disease!"
Ji Moyan nodded, "Yes! We will definitely defeat it!"
Ji Moyan looked at Xiao Jinwen and said, "Since you have always been here, why haven't I seen you in the past few days?"
Xiao Jinwen's face turned red. He had actually seen Ji Moyan a long time ago. Originally, he wanted to persuade her to leave this dangerous place. But when he saw Ji Moyan taking the pulse of the patient so skillfully and seriously,
He didn't dare to disturb her. He felt that Ji Moyan was satisfied at the moment, because curing diseases and saving people was the life she longed for.
If he hadn't seen her so sad today because of the death of the poor mother and son, he wouldn't have shown up to find her. But he just couldn't help but want to get close to her, and after hiding from her for so many days, he still couldn't bear it.
Even though he knew that the only one Ji Moyan loved was Cheng Mo...
Although he couldn't hold on and fainted in the end, which was really embarrassing...
Xiao Jinwen said slowly: "Maybe I'm too busy. I just recognized you."
Ji Moyan did not doubt that he was there and nodded clearly.
Another half month passed.
When Cheng Mo came back, he looked a little thinner. Perhaps due to the long and bumpy journey, his already angular face became more clearly visible.
He didn't come back alone, there was an elderly uncle who came back with him.
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a thin build and a goatee that reached to his collarbone. He had an air of immortality.
The uncle was carrying a worn but clean baggage on his back. He looked at Cheng Mo excitedly and eagerly, "Where is the epidemic area? Take me there quickly!"
Cheng Mo looked very respectful, looked at his uncle and asked: "Master Yue-in-law, don't you go back to your house to see Yan'er first? I haven't seen you for half a year, Yan'er must miss you!"
The uncle shook his head, "It is important to treat illnesses and save people, and besides, I have to go to an epidemic area to see my daughter!"
Cheng Mo was puzzled, "What does the father-in-law mean?"
The uncle frowned slightly and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and take me to the epidemic area quickly!"
Cheng Mo didn't dare to ask any more questions and took his uncle to the epidemic area himself.
Cheng Mo went to the border to deliver military pay. When he returned, he met Ji Moyan's father, Ji Zhou, in a place called Hedian Village, which was more than a hundred miles away from the capital.
Only then did he know that a plague had broken out all around the capital.
As luck would have it, the plague was fierce, but it was not incurable. Ji Zhou had been studying medicine all his life. In order to cure diseases and save people, he traveled all over the world and encountered countless patients with numerous illnesses. And this plague happened to happen many years ago.
He had witnessed it with his own eyes and had solved it along the way.
However, he was only an apprentice at that time. Therefore, the casualties among the people in Hedian Village were not very serious.
When Cheng Mo saw Ji Zhou, it was the time when the people of Hedian were seeing off the miracle doctor Ji Zhou. Ji Zhou was about to go to the next place to treat the people. When Cheng Mo heard about it, he immediately sent someone to bring the doctor developed by Ji Zhou.
Fang Zi rushed to various state capitals, and he came to the capital with his father-in-law.
