Chapter 63
Gao Qiji's eyes flashed a look of indecipherable meaning, there was joy, worry, and gratitude. Thousands of words were finally turned into one sentence: "Thank you!"

However, before the papers he reported were delivered, the disease had quietly spread in the capital.

I don't know when, some poor people got sick, and they didn't have money for medical treatment, so they worked hard until they died of illness.

Xiao Hua of the General's Mansion, a high-ranking official, was also infected, her condition was better, although she could not recover, at least the medication stabilized her condition.

For a while, the hearts of the people in the capital were brilliant.

Realizing that the disease was a plague, the imperial court immediately ordered all the patients to be placed in a hermitage, and given them some decoctions to drive away evil spirits and let them heal themselves.

Gao Qiji's request for permission to Li Siqi to treat the disease patients was finally approved.

She is about to go to the hermitage with more than 20 patients in the army and a military doctor named Wang Zhang, including Yueyang.

Before leaving, Gao Qiji still had the same iceberg face for thousands of years, but the words he asked revealed his concern: "The plague is dangerous and unpredictable, are you sure?"

It's rare for Li Siqi to see him like this, she couldn't help but want to tease him, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, I have my own ideas."

"I'm not worried about you!" Gao Qiji stared.

Li Siqi raised her eyes to see that his calm face finally had a different expression.

I couldn't help laughing even brighter, "I didn't say you were worried about me, I know you were worried about Yue Yang, and other brothers.

But don't worry, I will do my best to treat them and send them back to you in good health! "

Gao Qiji said in a deep voice, "Okay, this king has handed them over to you."

Responding to him with a reassuring look, Li Siqi thought of something again, and hurriedly said: "My lord, besides the necessary medicinal materials and utensils, I have one more request."

"speak."

"Once the Anlu was opened, all the patients with the epidemic were placed in it, and the patients were not divided into three or six grades.

We only treat our own people and leave others to fend for themselves, which is certainly unreasonable.However, if it is completely cured, there will definitely not be enough manpower right now.

I would like to trouble you, please ask the imperial court to recruit some doctor and drug boys from medical centers or medicine halls to help, of course, it must be on the premise of their willingness. "

Gao Qiji thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I'll do it."

Li Siqi and his party went to the nunnery.

The nunnery was a temple with high incense a long time ago, it is located on a hillside in the suburbs of Beijing, the terrain is high and the area is not small.

Later, when the Kaibao Temple built by the royal family rose, the nunnery gradually declined and was changed to a shelter for plagues.

Both the military camp and the nunnery are outside the capital, not too far apart.

Today, the long-abandoned nunnery has been reopened, and the soldiers are strictly guarding it, only entering and exiting.

When Li Siqi and the others arrived, there were already patients waiting in line at the door. When they saw them entering, they all knelt down and begged for help.

"Miss Li, please save us!" Someone shouted.

Another person coughed and said intermittently: "Doctor Li, we don't want...ahem...we don't want to fend for ourselves, please give...let us have a look."

Wang Zhang looked at dozens of patients with worried faces. At present, there are only these two doctors, and even if they want to save them, they are powerless!

Li Siqi also frowned slightly, it seems that there is a long way to go!
However, compared to Wang Zhang, she seemed much calmer and calmer, "Don't panic, everyone, the current sage is wise, loves the people like a child, and will not abandon everyone.

Right now, Doctor Wang and I will treat everyone, and I believe the imperial court will send more people over soon. "

No matter what, keep your eyes on your eyes first, otherwise, if you offend the public, the consequences...

"Thank you, Doctor Li."

"Thank you Miss Li." Several people shouted again and again.

The rest of the people also kowtowed their heads to express their thanks, and one of them was holding the baby, crying so much that the baby was saved!
This scene made Li Siqi's mood even heavier as if a thousand catties were being weighed down.

She estimated that in addition to more than 20 sick soldiers from the military camp, there were about 40 patients here.

Fortunately, the hermitage was big enough, so Li Siqi placed patients from the general camp in the Heavenly King Hall and its supporting hall respectively according to the severity of their illnesses.

The civilian patients were placed in the main hall and its side hall respectively.

The critical ones were placed in the hall.

What surprised her was that Xiao Hua was also here.

After many rounds of management by the wife of General Protecting the Country, Xiao Hua was assigned a room alone, and Xiao Cui was still taking care of her.

Li Siqi didn't care about greeting her, she was sure that she was only mildly ill, so rest assured, for the time being, the mild symptoms will be prepared according to the prescription for Yue Yang.

After that, Li Siqi and Wang Zhang immediately began to check and treat other serious patients.

Manpower is limited, and people with mild symptoms help to cook medicine, which can share some of the workload to some extent.

Even so, the two of them are still as busy as tops, never resting for a moment.

In the morning, more than a dozen patients came.

Fortunately, the imperial court was aware of the seriousness of the situation, and this time it was conscientious, and sent two imperial physicians, Xu Jiayou and Jiang Youwen, to support them.

What made Li Siqi even more delighted was that at night Gao Qiji brought his master Doctor Zhang, a doctor Liu from Tongren Medical Center and five medicine boys.

Although there are still too few doctors compared to the continuous stream of patients, it is a good start if someone is willing to come.

Glancing at Gao Qiji gratefully, he nodded to Doctor Liu to greet him.

Li Siqi did not hide her joy, and said to Doctor Zhang: "Master, why are you here?"

Doctor Zhang said with a smile: "My beloved apprentice is struggling to deal with the plague. Others can stand on the sidelines. How can I sit idly by as a teacher?"

Restraining the tears of excitement that were about to burst into her eyes, Li Siqi couldn't help hugging Dr. Zhang, "Thank you, Master, you are so kind to me!"

Doctor Zhang laughed loudly, "I only have you as a young apprentice now, so of course I hope you will be successful.

Well, don't cry, it won't look good when you cry with makeup, the situation is urgent, there is no need to delay, what I need the old man to do, I will listen to my apprentice! "

It was rare for Dr. Zhang to make a joke. Li Siqi burst into laughter immediately when she heard the words, "That's a hard work for Master."

Everyone went to work on their own, Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little, and then she had time to greet Gao Qiji, "Why is the prince here, are you still worried?"

Gao Qiji turned his face to one side, and instead of looking at Li Siqi, he focused his eyes on the eaves of the verandah under the dark night, "This king is here by the emperor's order."

Li Siqi smiled, "My request must be embarrassing for the lord, no one is willing to come except the people from the Tongren Medical Center.

After a pause, Li Siqi clasped her hands backwards and stretched forward, stretched her tired body, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Actually, it's nothing. After all, we all know that the plague doesn't have any particularly good treatment methods, and the fatality rate is very high. The plague is very scary.

It is human nature to be afraid of death, and it is understandable to cherish life, which is why I said before that everyone should volunteer.Forcibly twisted melons are not sweet, and those who forcibly recruit to help, if they are unwilling in their hearts, will do things with twice the result with half the effort, and maybe they will be a hindrance to help.

If you don’t come, don’t come, as long as we don’t give up on the patients, they work hard to save themselves, and everyone will work together to defeat the plague! "

When Li Siqi said these words, there was no confusion, complaint or fear, her bright eyes were full of hope, shining like stars in the night.

Gao Qiji didn't talk to her, looking at her bright eyes, he seemed to be addicted to it uncontrollably.
