The old man's words calmed the emotions of the others. After thinking about it, everyone thought that this was the truth. Although they were reluctant, they still went to the warehouse.
Xie Songhua didn't know what they were discussing. He just took Xiaoqing and Cuiliu in to question the patients and the medicine boys who were waiting for them one by one.
There are so many patients here that I only saw half of them in one morning.
When the Yamen heard Xie Songhua's request, they quickly prepared the house without saying a word.
Xie Songhua asked the 10 or 20 people sent by Xie Wenhua to help clean up the houses, and then moved them away according to the severity of the illnesses according to the inquiry records just now. There were also some with underlying diseases, pregnant women, the elderly, children, and others.
Special classification.
There was a lot of business here, and a guard in golden clothes came over, "Thank you, Miss, the fourth prince is here."
Xie Songhua raised her eyebrows. Not mentioning him, she almost forgot that the real imperial envoy for this trip to Dengzhou should be this prince.
She thought about it and realized that she had probably met the fourth prince at the banquet at the eldest princess's residence.
But there were too many people at the time, so she didn't pay much attention and only heard about it vaguely.
What's more, she is also slightly face-blind.
But after all, he is a prince, whether he is favored or not, he is still the king.
She didn't dare to neglect, and quickly put away the potions at the door before going to greet him.
I originally thought that he would come in with a huge group of people, but who knew that only one person came in.
Not to mention compared with the crown prince or the third prince, who were the most popular candidates for the throne, even compared with the sixth and seventh princes in the capital, the fourth prince looked much inferior.
The first is his appearance. In terms of age, he should be younger than the third prince, but his appearance is somewhat youthful and mature.
Looking at him, I thought he was about the same age as the prince, but he was wearing dusty clothes and looked dusty. If it weren't for his appearance that was somewhat similar to Emperor Yufeng, Xie Songhua might not have recognized him.
The fourth prince.
No matter how many thoughts he had in his heart, Xie Songhua did not dare to express them at all. He took a step forward and bowed politely, "I have met the Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince quickly gave her a weak hand, and after Xie Songhua stood up straight, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I didn't know you could arrive last night. I just went out yesterday and came back today.
Otherwise, I should pick you up.
Xie Songhua looked at him doubtfully and found that he would habitually squint his eyes when looking at things. She subconsciously asked, "Is the prince... short-sighted?"
The fourth prince suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "Miss Xie is indeed a doctor. You can see it at a glance. I used to be fascinated by books and always forgot to light the lamp when it got dark. As a result, my eyes became like this."
She had heard that the fourth prince was not favored, but she did not expect that he would not be favored to this extent.
How could a prince not have five, six, seven or eight people around him to serve him? He had lost track of time while reading, and he had to remember to light the lamp himself. This was a bit outrageous.
However, Xie Songhua had a good impression of him and he had no airs at all. No wonder he was kicked here this time.
The Fourth Prince looked at the room behind her and sighed, "Well, I've been here for three or four days. Not many of the patients here have been cured, but quite a few have been carried out.
In the past two days, I have gone to the countryside to see various places. People in the city can still come here to see doctors, but those in the countryside can only live with their lives.
Even if I can still walk, it would be troublesome to go to the city to see a doctor."
Xie Songhua has known this for a long time. Dengzhou City has been sealed for a long time, and a voucher is required for entry and exit every day. It is impossible for people in the countryside who are infected to come in if they want to come in.
After speaking, he quickly smiled and said to Xie Songhua: "Don't be stressed, Miss Xie. Since my father sent you here, you must have some skills. If there is something missing or something needs to be done, just ask.
"
I'm afraid it would be better to speak to Xiao Yu than to speak to him. Just from the fact that this prince was walking around alone, we knew that the local magistrate of Dengzhou did not take this prince seriously.
After saying his thanks, the fourth prince asked again: "What is Miss Xie doing now? Is there anything I can help with?"
Before Xie Songhua opened his mouth, he said: "But what do you want to record? I can also help with this. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the city."
I don't know why, but after hearing what he said, Xie Songhua felt inexplicably sympathetic to the prince.
She smiled and said: "I am short of manpower here! If the prince can help, that would be great."
The fourth prince did what he said, rolled up his sleeves immediately, put on protective clothing and a mask like Cui Liu, and followed him in.
The doctors over there heard that the fourth prince was coming and did not dare to neglect him. However, they were just ordinary people and did not dare to come forward. They only knelt at the door of the side courtyard next to him.
At this moment, when they saw the fourth prince and Xie Songhua entering together, they were both a little anxious.
"This...this, this, what should we do? That's the fourth prince. If the fourth prince is also infected with this, will it implicate us?"
"This female doctor is too bold, how dare she do this!"
"Aren't you from Beijing? Why don't you understand this bit of truth? If the Holy One punishes you then, how can any of you escape?"
"Now is not the time to joke around. You should go to the government and inform the authorities! It's a crime that could lead to a big prison sentence!"
This time the doctors did not dare to delay any longer and quickly sent a person to the Dengzhou government office.
Inside, the fourth prince watched them work for a while, and soon injured his hand. Together with several guards, he helped sort all the patients into categories.
When it got dark, there were not many patients left in the room. They all had special circumstances. Xie Songhua asked someone to come over and asked them to find a carpenter to customize simple isolation equipment.
By the time all this was done, it was already dark.
But she's not done yet, this is just the first step.
She turned around and called the doctors over again, took a look at the types and quantities of all the medicinal materials in the warehouse, and then picked out the ones that could be used.
Then he looked at them and said: "There are so many patients, I can't handle it alone. I need help from a few of you. I wonder if you are willing?"
The government has already received the news and just told them to leave it alone.
Although they don't understand what the government means, these doctors can only continue to stay here in fear.
At this moment, I heard Xie Songhua ask, "You look at me and I look at you. I don't know whether I should agree or not."
After all, she doesn’t trust the young female doctor in front of her. If something goes wrong with her method and more people die, who will bear the responsibility?
Xie Songhua saw their doubts at a glance, "Don't worry, although I ask you to help, all the treatment methods are provided by me. You are just following my instructions. I will make this clear to the government and the court.
If an accident occurs, it has nothing to do with you, and I will bear the responsibility alone."
The doctor who was a little more courageous muttered at this time: "This is all about your words. If something happens by then, who knows..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the fourth prince's voice coming from behind, "The king is still here, what are you afraid of? What Doctor Xie said was in front of the king, so naturally it counts."
