Nian Shilan took a shower and changed clothes, and was supported by Songzhi back to Jinglan Courtyard.
Nian Shilan stayed up all night. Even though he was only seventeen years old, he was exhausted.
The goose-yellow flag uniform on his body has been replaced by the light blue color prepared by Su Peisheng.
As he was walking, he saw a young eunuch running towards the front yard. Nian Shilan paused, then turned around and walked towards the front yard.
Before she entered the courtyard, she heard the young eunuch reporting to Ulanara that someone asked to see him at the door, saying that he could try to cure the epidemic.
Uranala was overjoyed and asked Su Peisheng to welcome the people in.
Su Peisheng smiled and wiped away tears and ran out quickly. The prince was saved.
Not long after, Su Peisheng was followed by a man in a green gown to the front yard. Behind the man was a child carrying a medicine box.
Ulanara exempted the man from saluting and said with a smile: "Doctor is kind-hearted. What is your surname, sir?"
"Don't dare, I'd like to ask. Wen Xianqing, a common man, has been practicing medicine for generations. Because he heard that the palace was ill, he specially brought the ancestral disease prescription and added a few herbs to see if it could relieve the palace's worries."
The man bowed his hands respectfully without being humble or condescending.
After speaking, he glanced at Nian Shilan beside him as if unintentionally, and then quickly lowered his head.
Uranala was overjoyed. God helped her. This charlatan was able to come to her door to treat an epidemic that the imperial doctors in the palace had racked their brains but could not do anything about.
Moreover, she had already heard of Wen Xianqing, but she had heard before that he came and went without a trace, wandering around the world and not entangled with the world.
I didn't expect that I would come today.
He was on the list of quacks she sent to find him.
Ulanara said and urged Wen Xianqing to go and see the prince's illness.
Wen Xianqing glanced at the yard first and frowned.
Seeing this, Ulanara asked hurriedly: "Doctor Wen, what's wrong?"
Wen Xianqing handed over his hand: "There is indeed something wrong. With all due respect, it is a rumor that boiling vinegar can cure diseases. It has no use except making the house smell sour. It is also possible that the smell of vinegar is too strong. Affect the patient’s recovery.”
After hearing this, Uranala couldn't make up his mind. The method of boiling vinegar to eliminate diseases is a widely circulated method of treatment and prevention. Why would Wen Xianqing say it is useless?
The several imperial physicians who were watching all looked at the leader, Imperial Physician Zhang.
Doctor Zhang snorted lightly, stroking his beard and said with dissatisfaction: "This method of boiling vinegar to eliminate epidemics is a method known to children among the people, and it is widely circulated. It has been done this way for hundreds of years. Doctor Wen is so big. His tone is that before he even begins to treat the disease, he must first refute hundreds of years of traditional treatment methods.”
Wen Xianqing turned around and looked at Imperial Physician Zhang, and cupped his hands: "Your Excellency must be the Imperial Physician. As far as the common people know, this vinegar is brewed from grain. The vinegar does not contain any medicine, and the vinegar has considerable The corrosive effect of vinegar should not be excessive in daily consumption. Boiling it like this will cause it to spread around and be inhaled into the esophagus, which will be harmful to the body. Your Excellency, everyone knows this method among the people, so you can use the folk method to treat it. Why do you need ordinary people? Auxiliary.”
Wen Xianqing's attitude was respectful and his words were not polite at all.
Doctor Zhang was furious and just about to open his mouth to say something more, Nian Shilan, who had been standing by for a long time, spoke up.
"Since Dr. Wen said vinegar is useless, what measures should be taken according to the doctor's opinion to prevent and eliminate the epidemic?"
Wen Xianqing looked at Nian Shilan, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please inquire. The grassroots believe that the stove for cooking vinegar should be removed, and temporarily use mugwort leaves and atractylodes to burn smoke everywhere in the house. The grassroots once discovered during the practice of medicine This method is very effective. However, when using mugwort leaves and atractylodes smoke, you should avoid pregnant women in the house."
After saying that, he stood quietly aside.
Nian Shilan looked at Uranala and gave a blessing: "Please give me some instructions from Fu Jin. First, the master is still in a coma and has been suffering from high fever over the past few days. He is in urgent need of effective medical treatment. Second, the servants in the mansion One by one they are falling ill, the virus spreads too quickly, so why not try Dr. Wen’s method first.”
Ulanara glanced at Nian Shilan and made no comment.
He only asked Doctor Wen to check the prince's pulse first.
Only then did Wen Xianqing enter the room, and several imperial doctors followed him step by step.
Everyone wanted to see if this charlatan could really cure the disease.
