The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1526: Save even if you are far away
Chapter 1526: Even if Far Away, We Will Rescue
Bai Qingyan is thin but tall. He stands at the door, looking around at the patients who are coughing and have red faces everywhere, with a frown on his face.
“Please stand up quickly! Everyone, please stand up quickly!” Seeing that Doctor Hong was about to bow, Bai Qingyan quickly supported Doctor Hong, “Doctor Hong, you are the elder of the Bai family. I feel very sorry for having you and these noble and kind-hearted doctors come to this epidemic city. I should bow and thank you all!”
As he spoke, Bai Qingyan took a step back and bowed to the doctors. This bow… was sincere and genuine. They deserved the words “doctors are like parents to you.”
The doctors quickly avoided Bai Qingyan’s greeting and stood aside with their heads bowed respectfully.
“I know you all just arrived and are very busy right now. Human lives are at stake and treating the sick is the most important thing. You don’t have to stay here with me. I will take a look around with General Qian!” Bai Qingyan said, turning around and looking at the doctors following him, “You all are busy. If you need anything, you can tell me. Although I can’t help with the treatment of the epidemic, I will do my best to arrange what you need, and I will never let the noble men who risk their lives for the people lack anything!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” The doctors following Bai Qingyan hurriedly saluted, feeling ashamed.
Doctor Hong glanced at the doctors and knew what his eldest daughter meant. She wanted them to pretend that they were unaware that these doctors were frightened and wanted to leave, and wanted them to stay and treat the infected people.
Of course, there is indeed a shortage of staff now. If these doctors can stay, it will be a good thing for Dr. Hong and others.
Doctor Hong did not mind their previous intention to leave, and said, “Now we have to divide these patients into three categories according to the three prescriptions we discussed and selected before, and use different prescriptions to try which one is the most suitable. Doctor Niu… Please talk to these doctors in detail, and I will accompany His Majesty to look around!”
“Okay, leave it to me!” Doctor Niu was a good-tempered man. He held the list in his hand and said to the doctors, “Before giving each medication, we have to check the color of the cloth wrapped around the patient’s arm with the name on the list to confirm that they are correct before giving the medication…”
Doctor Hong accompanied Bai Qingyan on an inspection tour in the Tianpeng. When the people saw Bai Qingyan standing outside the Tianpeng, they knelt on the ground in panic. Even the seriously ill ones struggled to roll out of the clothes they were wearing and knelt down beside the bed.
Bai Qingyan looked at the shed that could block the wind and rain. It was made of bamboo, with a layer of oilcloth on top and a layer of dry grass underneath. There were no fences on both sides to allow for ventilation…
Although such a shed is more than enough to keep out the wind and rain, it may not be able to withstand a heavy snowfall. It is about to snow, so I am afraid that this shed will need to be repaired.
Bai Qingyan shook the pillars supporting the shed, turned to Qian Yongzhong and said, “I’m afraid this shed needs to be reinforced, otherwise it will collapse in a heavy snowfall!”
“Yes, I’ll remember it! I’ll send people to reinforce it when I get back!” Qian Yongzhong said with a fist salute.
“For the patients in the shed, the charcoal fire cannot be turned off…” Bai Qingyan thought for a moment and asked Doctor Hong, “Can we use cotton blankets to block the wind on both sides? It’s too cold to ventilate on all four sides. Can we leave one side open?”
“It is feasible to leave one side, so that those with mild symptoms can be outside and those with severe symptoms can be inside. Just fumigate the gout patients with moxa every day.” Doctor Hong responded.
“I’ll take note of it!” Qian Yongzhong said.
Seeing that the emperor had indeed stepped into the tent, the patients inside were all in panic. They were the people of Yan State, and now they were infected with the plague… The emperor of the Great Zhou had actually come.
They had never heard that the emperor would go to the city where the plague was!
Early this morning, when the army of the Great Zhou escorted doctors and medicines here, they thought that the Yan court felt sorry for the people of Yan and sent people to provide disaster relief and treatment. Later they learned that it was the emperor of the Great Zhou who personally led troops to escort doctors and herbs to the epidemic area of Yan, to work together with the people of Yan to fight the epidemic.
They didn’t expect that Da Zhou would bring so many doctors. They thought… they were just sending a few doctors for show, just like before. Any civilians thrown into the treatment center would die. But they didn’t expect that so many doctors would start to get busy as soon as they arrived… The soldiers also started to get busy.
The mothers who had come to the treatment center with their children because they were reluctant to leave were also called over by the doctors after it was confirmed that they had not been infected with the disease. The doctors told them that since they had come to the treatment center, they could not return to the city even if they had not been infected with the disease. They were also taught ways to prevent themselves from being infected.
Doctor Hong had a kind face and told them to wash their hands frequently and go to the newly built shed every hour to get a new face towel. The old one had to be boiled in medicine and dried in the sun before being used again.
They were already extremely grateful to the Great Zhou, but who would have thought… that the emperor would actually come to this treatment center in person!
This is a rescue center where people are almost certain to die!
Seeing more people who were infected with the disease or who came with their children kneeling on the ground with tears in their eyes to kowtow and express their gratitude, Bai Qingyan hurriedly said, “Hurry up and get up, there’s no need to be like this! Get up…”
“Your Majesty! Thank you for sending people to rescue us lowly people!” A scholar looked at Bai Qingyan boldly with tears in his eyes, “I know that the Great Zhou and Yan are now in a war, and the court does not allow the transportation of medicinal herbs to the Great Zhou city in Yan! Your Majesty personally led the troops to escort the medicinal materials and the doctors here, and I am very grateful.”
“Now, you are all citizens of my Great Zhou, my subjects! All citizens of my Great Zhou…are protected by my Great Zhou, and will be rescued no matter how far away they are! The Great Zhou will never give up any of its citizens!” Bai Qingyan’s solemn and calm voice was particularly penetrating in the shed, “Doctor Hong is old…but he is the master of medical skills in my Great Zhou, and the other doctors are all outstanding doctors in my Great Zhou! You all should rest assured, listen to the doctors’ arrangements, and cooperate with the doctors in using medicine! Medicinal materials will continue to come from the Great Zhou from now on, so you don’t have to worry! As long as our ruler and the people are united, we will be able to eliminate the epidemic! I… am with you all!”
The patients in the treatment center were very emotional because of Bai Qingyan’s words. Some of them cried out loud. Their emotions were contagious. The old, weak, women and children could not help crying out loud and shouted “Long live the emperor”. Some patients kowtowed repeatedly. For some reason, they felt like they would never regret becoming the people of the Great Zhou.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!”
“Your Majesty regards us as his subjects, and we will always be citizens of the Great Zhou!”
“We will always be citizens of the Great Zhou!”
Qian Yongzhong looked at these people who were crying because they saw hope… and because of gratitude, and couldn’t help but look at his own emperor with admiration.
