Linghe Temple.
After An Ning and Guan Yu t Liu Wenming, they were brought here.
It seed like a place for residents, not far from the plague patients.
An Ning and the others had just arrived.
Outside Linghe Temple, a noise was heard again.
All the residents were called to the front of the temple, An Ning among them.
She saw Xiao Wu and Feng Xiyun, and also Pang Nan.
An Ning was initially a bit surprised; Changn County was just a county, yet the County Magistrate could control the plague so well. Seeing Pang Nan now made everything clear.
Apparently, Xiao Jinxing directly sent Pang Nan over; it must be said, Xiao Jinxing indeed knew how to employ people better than most.
Pang Nan had experienced this once before in Yuzhou City, so he was naturally more adept this ti.
This ti in Changn County, aside from the highly contagious plague infecting many people, it was nothing like the previous disaster in Yuzhou City. Everything within Changn County, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, was orderly.
An Ning pondered these matters.
Then she heard Feng Xiyun speak, "Dear residents, I am Feng Xiyun, here under the Emperor’s decree to help treat the plague with everyone. Due to the highly contagious nature of the disease, I cannot consult with patients directly for now. I need to know the conditions of the plague patients from you so we can discuss the symptoms and current dications. I hope to find a cure for the plague quickly and save the people of Changn County."
"Okay." All the residents hurriedly nodded in agreent.
Eager to see the plague cured quickly and be able to leave sooner.
Now, even if one isn’t infected, they are stuck here, unable to leave.
"Then let’s proceed in order, everyone co forward one by one." Feng Xiyun said, "Pang Nan, please help prepare the pen and ink for ; I need to record them one by one."
"Alright." Pang Nan quickly agreed.
Inside the great hall of the temple.
Feng Xiyun sat beside the inkstone, as each resident ca forward to describe the plague symptoms and their ideas for dication.
An Ning was not among the queue.
As she had just arrived and knew nothing.
She was more inclined towards direct diagnosis now.
Without consulting directly, it’s hard to prescribe effectively.
It’s heard that the number of deaths has been increasing these past few days.
After so thought, An Ning approached Pang Nan, showing great respect, "Master Pang."
Pang Nan’s attention was on Feng Xiyun at the mont; hearing soone call him, he turned to look at the unfamiliar resident.
Just arrived?
No impression.
"I want to consult directly in the plague area." An Ning requested.
Pang Nan frowned.
Due to the residents being infected continuously, Pang Nan had paused direct consultations, asking them to devise prescriptions based on symptoms while awaiting Feng Xiyun’s arrival.
He didn’t want to add more innocent infections.
"The plague is highly contagious now, easily spreading. With Doctor Feng here, wait for her arrangents first." Pang Nan directly refused.
"As a doctor, not consulting directly makes it impossible to prescribe effective redies. No matter how described, without seeing the patients’ conditions, it’s difficult to prescribe accordingly." An Ning was very determined.
Feng Xiyun was recording symptoms at that mont.
Upon hearing soone speak, she glanced up at him.
Seed like she saw him at the inn, but didn’t pay much mind.
She straightforwardly said, "The plague is too contagious, Master Pang’s concern is valid, can’t add more innocents. I’ll first prepare a prescription based on symptoms for patients to take; won’t arrange any direct consultations for now."
Clearly rejecting An Ning’s request.
"Alright." Pang Nan quickly agreed, "From now on, all your arrangents should follow Doctor Feng’s guidance."
An Ning pursed her lips.
Changn County’s control was too strict now; without permission, she could not see any patients.
She turned her gaze to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was beside Feng Xiyun, noticing the gaze and looked over.
An Ning shifted her gaze away.
Xiao Wu frowned slightly.
Feeling sowhat familiar about this person.
Thinking carefully, still can’t recall.
An Ning took Guan Yu to the side.
Other residents were all queuing to inform Feng Xiyun about the plague situation.
An Ning was contemplating whether to directly reveal herself to Xiao Wu.
Tell Xiao Wu her identity, then ask her to consult the plague patients.
Upon further thought.
If Xiao Wu knew her identity, might be even more hesitant to let her go.
Firstly, due to real dangers.
Secondly, with Xiao Wu now following Feng Xiyun’s arrangents, would she obey orders?
Inside the great hall.
Feng Xiyun kept busy.
Pang Nan and Xiao Wu stayed a while, then walked out together.
Rarely seeing each other, they wanted to catch up.
"Master Wu, I’ve been quite curious, what happened between the Emperor and Empress? Heard the Empress is no longer at the Imperial Palace." Pang Nan asked.
Far from the palace, many rumors were hearsay.
"The Empress is indeed not at the palace, I also don’t know where she went, neither does the Emperor." Xiao Wu replied.
"I said, if Her Majesty were at the palace, with her character, she would certainly co here personally," Pang Nan contemplated. "Last ti Her Majesty cured the plague in Yuzhou, if she were here this ti, she would likely control it quickly."
"Actually, after the plague outbreak, I suggested to the Emperor about finding Her Majesty. Even if she isn’t located imdiately, spreading the news, once Her Majesty learns about the plague outbreak in Changn County, she would surely co voluntarily. However, the Emperor refused." Xiao Wu said helplessly.
"Why?" Pang Nan asked, "What happened between the Emperor and Empress?"
"The Emperor executed Gu Xingchuan, which the Empress holds against the Emperor, so she left him."
"But Gu Xingchuan deserved death!" Pang Nan exclaid indignantly.
"There are many things we ministers dare not speculate too much. All in all, the Emperor and Empress parted ways. Now the Emperor won’t let the Empress know about the plague here. We can only hope on Doctor Feng now."
"How does Doctor Feng’s dical skills compare to the Empress?" Pang Nan whispered.
"That I don’t know. In any case, Doctor Feng’s skills are quite formidable, otherwise the Emperor wouldn’t personally send him."
"That’s true." Pang Nan agreed, "Hopefully today a prescription will be prepared; this plague has truly troubled the citizens."
"Hmm." Xiao Wu nodded.
The two continued chatting, reminiscing.
Inside the great hall.
After about an hour and a half.
Feng Xiyun recorded all the symptoms.
She frowned in deep thought.
Recalling the dical books read since childhood.
Many local plague symptoms and treatnts were docunted in the books.
Evidently couldn’t completely match with the symptoms given by the residents this ti.
Having not seen the patients herself, she could only write down a prescription based on her inner thoughts.
