Chapter 140 - I Don't Know
Tang Yue went back to wash up inside and outside. He threw the white coat, mask, gloves, and other things into the boiling water and boiled them. He then personally brought Crown Prince Zhao a bowl of anti-cold soup and watched him drink it.
“You have been busy for a long time. Go and rest.” Crown Prince Zhao dragged him to the bed and covered him with the blanket.
The blanket was warm. Tang Yue touched it and found a hot water bag. He held it in his arms and let out a long breath. “It is cold to sleep at night, isn't it?”
Crown Prince Zhao also took off his clothes and went to bed. Tang Yue wanted to move inside, but he was held by the other party. “One person is cold, but two people are not cold.”
Tang Yue felt the temperature of his body and could not bear to push him away. He thought to himself, “The weather is so cold. Two people sleeping together can prevent catching a cold.”
The next day, the herbs were delivered before dawn. Tang Yue was in a daze and felt the cold beside him. He also opened his eyes.
“Go back to sleep. I will go out and take a look.”
“Don't. Tang Yue pulled him back. You go. Let me go. I need to extract the artemisinin as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be more dangerous.”
Tang Yue quickly got up and put on his clothes. He washed his face with cold water and walked out of the tent. The sky was still dark. There was a light on the east side of the tent.
Crown Prince Zhao followed him out. Tang Yue had no choice but to take him to work.
After extracting the artemisia selengensis from the artemisia selengensis, Tang Yue ordered his men to unload the herbs. Then, he ordered his men to bring all the salt from the camp to be marinated with salt water. After that, he squeezed out the juice and consumed it directly. He had to make it fresh.
“Young master, I'm afraid the salt is not enough.” Elder Chen jogged over. Apart from fatigue, he could not suppress the excitement on his face. He was about to make a cure for the disease. He would die with no regrets.
Before Tang Yue could say anything, Crown Prince Zhao gave the order, “Collect the salt from door to door, then send people back to the city to retrieve the salt. Tell me how much is missing.”
Elder Chen nodded and turned around to go back to work. With a word from Crown Prince Zhao, these were all small problems.
Tang Yue saw that everyone was busy and orderly, so he went to the village to visit the patients. After a night of protection, the condition was very serious, but he did not get much better after taking a few medicine to cool down.
Imperial Doctor Wu was guarding the last shift. When dawn arrived, his body was exhausted, but he was very excited. He wanted to see the patient take the antidote with his own eyes.
“Young dandy, you just need to feed the patient the juice of the artemisia selengensis?”
“I don't dare to say it's all good, but as long as it contains artemisia selengensis, it will definitely work!” Tang Yue nodded.
“So this thing is called artemisia selengensis. I've seen it before, but I didn't expect it to be able to treat diseases.” Imperial Doctor Wu held a plant of artemisia selengensis and studied it carefully. “Then can this thing cure diseases of other species?”
“Artemisia selengensis is mainly anti-malaria. It has a very good anti-malaria effect on mice, insects, and humans. It can also resist parasites, so it can be considered a more comprehensive medicine. The effect is very good.”
Imperial Doctor Wu laughed a few times. “If that's really the case, there won't be anything scary about this disease in the future.”
Tang Yue shook his head. “There are many kinds of diseases. It is difficult to understand the cause, the way, and the result of a disease. Sometimes, time is spent on exploration. This time, it is because we happen to know the cause of the disease that we can cure it.”
Tang Yue knew about malaria very well because it was common in Africa. If it was a special disease in a small area, he might not be able to find a way to cure it.
Soon, the juices were squeezed out one bowl after another. Elder Chen brought a bowl over and asked Tang Yue, young master, do you want to take the medicine now?”
“Take it for the seriously ill patient first. Observe him closely for four hours and see the effect first. Take note of the record.”
“Yes.” Elder Chen passed the first bowl of medicine to the woman who fainted last night. At this moment, she was awake. When she heard that the medicine was prescribed by the godly doctor, she drank it in one breath with Elder Chen's hand.
All the patients in the room drank the medicine, and everyone fell into a long wait. Elder Chen led his people through the room, taking their body temperature over and over again, tirelessly observing the patient's face and pulse.
Two hours later, 10% of the patients' fever had subsided. The condition of their fever was much better than before. It meant that Tang Yue's medicine was effective.
This result not only made the patient happy, but also made Tang Yue feel relieved. It was as if he was relieved. It seemed that winter was not as cold anymore.
Crown Prince Zhao followed the patient all the way. In his heart, he was even more respectful and grateful to Tang Yue. His medical skills were indeed admirable, but what was even more admirable was his selfless spirit. He actually took out such an important prescription without hesitation.
Four hours later, half of the patients had an obvious improvement. Tang Yue ordered the patients in the other two rooms to take the soup as well. In addition, every villager in the village had to drink it. Those who had contact with these villagers also had to drink it.
They had to treat illnesses and remove insects.
In the afternoon, the sun shone brightly and the temperature gradually rose. The snow around them continued to melt, taking away most of the heat. It was still cold and bone-piercing.
Elder Chen ran over and said, “Young master, the yellow flowers and artemisia selengensis are almost used up.”
Tang Yue was slightly shocked. He did not take this herb as the most important herb when he first took it. After all, his attending physician was a surgeon.
It would be difficult for him to receive the yellow flowers, artemisia selengensis during this season. “Did every villager drink the herb?” he asked.
“Yes, but our people haven't drunk it yet. I took the initiative to leave some for the patient to continue to take.”
Tang Yue nodded. “You did well. Our people have been protected. It doesn't matter if we don't drink it. Then we will stay for two more days. We will leave after the patient is completely out of danger.”
Elder Chen's smile never stopped. “I heard it from you. If this news gets out, it will shock everyone in the world. I'm afraid no one will doubt young master's reputation as a godly doctor anymore.”
Tang Yue did not deny it. He did not want this reputation from the beginning to the end. The most important thing in treating patients was to treat their illnesses. As long as he knew what the disease was and used the right medicine, his condition would quickly improve greatly. He only knew a little more than them.
“Help me tell the villagers that in the future, don't eat cooked meat. It's best to drink boiled water. Especially during the summer and autumn season, you have to pay more attention to your food and the cleanliness of your surroundings.”
Tang Yue knew that under the current conditions, everyone basically wouldn't eat anything during winter. When they were really hungry, they wouldn't be able to care about hygiene.
All he could do was remind everyone to be more careful.
After noon, the palace sent an order to let Crown Prince Zhao enter the city immediately. The king also sent Wang Zixian to take over the matters of Yellow Flower Village.
Tang Yue did not understand what the king was doing. Crown Prince Zhao only sent someone to report this morning that the villagers of Yellow Flower Village were not infected. They were just common cold and fever. After Crown Princess's diagnosis and treatment, they were fine.
Since there was a cure for the disease, Crown Prince Zhao did not need to worry about anything else. Once the news of the disease spread, it would definitely make the people around him uneasy, just like how Tang Yue saw the civilians who were guarding outside the city gate.
“Go back and report to Royal Father that the matters in Yellow Flower Village have been settled. There is no need for Brother Three Kings to rush over.” Crown Prince Zhao originally came to understand the disaster and come to help. These matters had been settled long ago. If it wasn't for the fact that half of the villagers had suddenly fallen, he would have gone back long ago.
The servant who gave the order did not dare to refute Crown Prince Zhao, so he could only bring his words back to report.
Tang Yue thought that the matter should come to an end. Even if Crown Prince Zhao went back first, it would not be a big deal. He did not need his help here at all.
“No, I will stay here with you.” Crown Prince Zhao shook his head.
Tang Yue smiled foolishly for a while. He felt a little sweet in his heart.
When evening came, another decree to announce Crown Prince Zhao's arrival came. The two of them frowned at the same time and looked at each other in confusion.
“Did something happen in the palace?” Crown Prince Zhao called the servant who passed the decree alone into the tent and asked.
The servant knelt on the ground and answered carefully, “This servant doesn't know.”
“Is the Queen healthy?”
“Your Highness can rest assured, the Queen's body is golden and there is no sickness or pain.”
“Oh, then do you know what matter does Royal Father have to announce that he is alone in the Palace?”
“This servant…”
“Eunuch Jin, think it through before you reply.”
“...” The servant's entire body trembled, his forehead pressed against the cold ground as he softly said, “Your Highness understands, this servant… This servant has only heard a few things and does not know if the king has summoned Your Highness into the palace because of this.”
“Tell me about it”
“In the middle of the court. Some people said that Yellow Flower Village has become a dead village. His Highness has killed all the villagers in the village to prevent the disease from spreading.”
“Why do you say that? Didn't I report that there was no disease?” Crown Prince Zhao's voice sank, and the inner servant immediately bent even lower.
“This servant doesn't know much, but I don't know who said that His Highness brought refugees from other places and pretended to be villagers of Yellow Flower Village. In fact, the villagers here had been killed by His Highness. The reason is to… to…”
“Continue!” Crown Prince Zhao's face was expressionless. His eyes were terrifyingly cold.
“Yes… His Highness is doing this to make Crown Princess famous and to prove Crown Princess's reputation as a godly doctor.”
“Pa!” Crown Prince Zhao crushed the armrest of the chair and stood up, “In your opinion, are the villagers here disguised as refugees?”
“This servant naturally believes in His Highness. His Highness is upright and upright. Crown Princess's medical skills are brilliant. How could she do such a ridiculous thing?”
That servant quietly raises her head, “Your Highness, you see… why don't you enter the palace and talk to the king?”
Crown Prince Zhao smiled coldly. “No need. Go back and report to Royal Father on behalf of me. When the villagers have recovered, I will bring my men back to report to the king so that everyone can see if there is Zhang Guanyu or Dai Li!”
He really didn't know what to say!
