After falsely claiming to be pregnant, the whole court came to claim it

The imperial physician of the imperial hospital drew up two prescriptions overnight, one was to alleviate the epidemic, and the other was to prevent infection.

Early in the morning, the people in the medical center made soup and medicine according to the prescription, replacing the old prescription before, and let the patients take the medicine.The people in the patrol battalion were responsible for brewing the preventive medicine and distributed it to all the guards and patrol battalions.In addition, they also cooperated with the people of the Ministry of Households to make a large number of medicine packages, and distributed them door to door to the people, letting them make medicine by themselves.

"To the Imperial Physician, I would like to ask the imperial physician, is this medicine really able to prevent infection?" The official of the household department responsible for cooperating with the imperial hospital in distributing the medicine couldn't help asking the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor smiled wryly, and said: "They are all medicines to dispel the cold and strengthen the foundation. Don't say that you can't find a way to prevent the disease for a while. Send it door to door."

Talking to the imperial physician, he opened a medicine bag and showed him, in addition to some herbs, there were red dates and other things in it.

Even though the official didn't understand the principles of medicine, he knew that the medicine pack couldn't have any effect.

"Your Excellency is an official in the Sixth Ministry, so you should know your duty to share your majesty's worries. Now the whole capital is in panic. Although this medicine package can't prevent the epidemic, it can reassure the people." Xiang Tai said: "It's just that the adults of the Ministry of Households are in this period of time I'm afraid it will be a lot of hard work for you, and you will have to work hard to prepare medicinal materials, supplements and even whole grains in the future."

"Yes, it's all for His Majesty's concern and for the common people. The imperial physician should not be polite." The official said.

While the two of them were talking, someone from the hospital ran over panting and said, "Mr. Xiang, the magistrate, please come over."

"What's wrong?" Xiang imperial physician asked as he followed him into the clinic.

"Many people who took the medicine this morning suddenly started to vomit blood. The court judge is worried that it is a problem with the prescription, so he wants to consult with the imperial physicians." The man said.

Surprised by the imperial physician, he asked, "Spitting up blood? Isn't it coughing up blood?"

"It's not coughing up blood, it's vomiting blood... You can tell when you go over there." The man said.

Hearing this, Imperial Physician frowned deeply, and followed the man into the clinic.

At the same time, Liu Linxi walked to the door of the side room following the smell of blood. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door, and saw two people, a man and a woman, lying in the room. There were many bloodstains on the ground beside them, which looked very fresh. I just vomited not long ago.The man and woman were about forty years old, they looked like they should be a couple, and now both of them fell unconscious in the blood.

"Alive." Chu Yunfeng stepped forward to test the pulse of the two, and said.

After he finished speaking, everyone worked together to carry the two of them to another clean room, and Chu Yunfeng began to give the pulse of the two of them.Yu Xingzhi looked around, found out the list he had written with him, and said, "This family's surname is Liu, and their son Liu Qiwen was one of the 62 people yesterday. Liu Qiwen was four days late, which means that today is the fifth day of his illness."

Those who coughed up blood yesterday died on the same day, and it took about eight days from the time they contracted the disease to their death.

However, Liu Qiwen's parents started coughing up blood on the fifth day after being infected... To be precise, they vomited blood.

"I used to think that the disease was in the lungs, but now I don't think so." Yu Xingzhi said.

"Liu Qiwen is a student of Taixue." Liu Xiangwan said with a sad face: "His parents went to the hospital yesterday, and they didn't seem to be seriously ill at the time. Open Liu Qiwen's body in order to find out the cause of the epidemic...they refused to allow it at that time, and they almost did it with me."

If the two of them still had the strength to argue last night, it meant that the two were not seriously ill at the time, but it deteriorated overnight, which meant that the epidemic was developing faster than they imagined.Especially the vomiting of blood has exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Aren't all the sick people gathered together? Why are they in their own home?" Liu Linxi asked.

"They said they were going home to pick up Liu Qiwen's belongings," Liu Xiangwan said.

The side room where they fainted before was the place where Liu Qiwen lived before his death.

Everyone can't help but sigh.

"Let's send someone here to guard them first. We have to go to other people's homes to find out whether these two people are just special circumstances, or whether other people have become like this too." Chu Yunfeng said.

When everyone heard the words, they thought it made sense, so Liu Linxi sent two imperial guards to guard them, and led them to the next house on the list.They split up and visited dozens of nearby households, and found that the situation was worse than they expected.

"In the first batch of people who died of illness, almost all other people were infected, and the situation was similar to that of Liu Qiwenfa's parents." Liu Xiangwan said: "And the few households I asked said that the medical center was in accordance with the Taiyuan Hospital early this morning. The prescription changed the medicine, and most of them have taken that medicine, but after taking the medicine, instead of getting better, it got worse."

Chu Yunfeng said: "I have seen the medicine, there is no problem, it is indeed for the treatment of wind-cold into the lungs. Their sudden aggravation, if it is related to taking that medicine, then there is only one possibility..."

"The epidemic is not a disease that enters the lungs. We all think wrong." Yu Xingzhi said.

Chu Yunfeng nodded and said: "Looking at the pulse condition, it is true that the wind and cold are invading the body, and the disease is in the lungs, but the situation is far more complicated than this. For now, if you want to find out the cause of the disease, the fastest way is..."

"Autopsy." Liu Linxi said.

Chu Yunfeng nodded.

While everyone was talking, there was sudden commotion outside, and a forbidden soldier hurried over and said to the crowd, "Someone just threw himself into a well just now." Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and followed the forbidden soldier out, and saw a man not far from the entrance of the alley. Several people surrounded the well.The person who threw himself into the well has been fished out, because he was rescued in time, and there is still a breath of life.

"Xu Yu?" Liu Xiangwan said in surprise, "He's my classmate."

After Liu Xiangwan finished speaking, he stepped forward and squatted on the ground, holding Xu Yu's shoulders, with a worried expression on his face.

"It's so good, why do you want to die?" Liu Xiangwan said.

The young man named Xu Yu looked up at Liu Xiangwan, his eyes were a little cloudy, as if his mind was not clear.He was stunned for a while, then looked down at Liu Xiangwan's hand on his shoulder, hugged it suddenly, then opened his mouth and bit Liu Xiangwan's wrist fiercely.

This change happened so fast that everyone was startled, Liu Linxi and Yu Xingzhi stepped forward at the same time, Liu Linxi pinched the back of Xu Yu's neck, Xu Yu suddenly lost strength, and was pulled aside by Yu Xingzhi carrying his clothes.Liu Xiangwan clutched his wrist, unable to speak for a long time due to the pain.

Xu Yu had fainted at this moment, Chu Yunfeng stepped forward to take his pulse, frowned and said: "He also contracted the disease."

Hearing this, Yu Xingzhi pulled Liu Xiangwan's wrist and opened his sleeve to see that the two rows of blood-red tooth marks on it had been bitten open.

"Xiang Wan..." Liu Linxi looked at Chu Yunfeng and asked, "Will he..."

Chu Yunfeng didn't speak, but his expression was very clear.

After a short period of panic, Liu Xiangwan gradually calmed down, and said, "Several students in the Imperial College have contracted the disease, and I might have already contracted it... If you can't avoid it this time, turn around and Take my body and dissect it."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Liu Linxi hugged Liu Xiangwan and said, "We will find a way."

"Brother, you should keep a distance from me." Liu Xiangwan pushed Liu Linxi away and took a few steps back with a gloomy expression.

Liu Linxi's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he felt very sad.Since yesterday, each of them had presupposed that they might get sick, and had prepared themselves mentally, but when Liu Xiangwan suddenly encountered such a thing, everyone couldn't help but find it difficult to accept it for a while.

Yu Xingzhi said, "I'll send Xiangwan back first, you guys have to be careful, don't get hurt again, I remember that those who died yesterday had short-term irritability and rage before they died."

Hearing the words, Liu Linxi hurriedly ordered the accompanying Imperial Army to pay attention to the condition of the sick person to prevent them from being attacked. At the same time, he sent people to notify the various medical clinics and imperial physicians so that they should also take precautions.

After Liu Xiangwan was injured, there was only a short period of panic, and then he quickly returned to calm.

When Yu Xingzhi sent him back to his residence, Liu Xiangwan even looked a little relaxed.

"I was worried before, but now I feel relieved." Liu Xiangwan said.

"We still have a lot of time, don't worry..." Yu Xingzhi said.

"I'm not worried. Brother Yu, don't worry about me. I don't have any bad feelings now. I think I won't get sick in the first few days." Liu Xiangwan said: "But I think I should go to the hospital instead of waiting Here, so as not to pass the epidemic to you."

"You stay here for now, if you go elsewhere, I can't feel at ease." Yu Xingzhi said.

"Even if I go to the hospital, I will take care of myself, don't worry." Liu Xiangwan said.

Yu Xingzhi was silent for a moment, stepped forward and hugged Liu Xiangwan suddenly, and said, "Be honest, don't go anywhere, I won't let you die." After saying that, Yu Xingzhi turned and left in a hurry.

Looking at his back, Liu Xiangwan couldn't help but smile a little.

By the well, after Yu Xingzhi took Liu Xiangwan away, Liu Linxi was always in a disturbed mood.

Chu Yunfeng tried to comfort him, but couldn't find a suitable word to say, after all, he was not sure he could cure him now.

"Yesterday, during the trip, they have asked the relatives of the infected people one by one. We also asked them in person just now. There is not much overlap between them, whether it is food or the people they have met in the places they have visited. So what made them sick? Could it be..." Liu Linxi looked at the well, and asked Chu Yunfeng: "Could it be that he drank water from the same well?"

"If the water has been polluted by the epidemic, it is indeed possible." Chu Yunfeng turned his head to observe for a moment and said, "These dozens of families all drink water from the same well."

Liu Linxi immediately asked someone to seal the well, and Chu Yunfeng brought some water up, but no clues could be found from the current water alone.Then the two went to the clinic, the imperial physicians were in a state of desperation at the moment, because of the sudden attack by a patient, not only that one, just now, an imperial physician and two staff members of the medical clinic were bitten.

Now they not only have to take care of the sick, but also prevent the sick from attacking others.In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, Liu Linxi ordered the medical clinics everywhere to stop the sick people from walking around at will, and must gather them in one place.As for matters such as daily consultations and taking medicines, people from the patrol battalion need to be on the sidelines to take care of them, so that no imperial physician or doctor will be injured.

Chu Yunfeng and the imperial physicians discussed for a long time based on today's pulse case, but there was no new breakthrough.

In the afternoon, two imperial guards suddenly appeared in the medical clinic, saying that Yu Xingzhi had made a new discovery, and asked Chu Yunfeng and several imperial physicians to go to Yizhuang.

Yizhuang is the place where the corpses are parked. The bodies of the 62 people who died yesterday were all parked in Yizhuang.

Everyone hurried over and saw Yu Xingzhi standing in the courtyard with a solemn expression.

"I dissected the body without permission." Yu Xingzhi said: "You have seen the situation today. If the cause is not found, many people will die every day in the future."

Right now, of course, everyone has no time to pursue his private autopsy. In fact, even though the imperial court has rules, the autopsy needs the consent of the deceased's relatives.But at the moment of the epidemic, there are exceptions to everything, and someone has to stand up and make some choices.

"How?" Chu Yunfeng asked.

"You will know when you go in and have a look." Yu Xingzhi said.

After hearing the words, everyone entered the room behind Yu Xing, where there were several desks with two dismembered corpses on them.The viscera of the corpse were taken out and placed on the desk at the side. When Chu Yunfeng took a closer look, he saw a few white worms on the lungs... In addition to the lungs, the stomach and even the heart of the corpse could be seen. insect.

"This is... a Gu worm?" Liu Linxi asked in surprise.
