Chapter 1333: Smoke and Fire Begin

stroll, thinking of the past affections between us. I presume that the Fourth Royal Wife wouldn't drive this palace away"Feng Lingxi's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is...Feng Aotian opened his mouth and told Feng Lingxi about the situation he knew before coming here. Hearing this symptom, a terrible disease flashed in Feng Lingxi's mind, that is, tuberculosis.

If it really is consumption, then this time we've gotten into real trouble.

Tuberculosis is a contagious disease, and if it is confirmed to be tuberculosis, it must be treated.

"Sir, just received word from Dr. Zhang's side that he has also been infected."

A guard entered and reported. Hearing the news, Lord Liu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the situation Have all the other doctors seen him"

“It’s the same as the initial symptoms of infection.”

"The initial symptoms were a low fever"

Wind Ling Xi asked, the guard hurriedly nodded, "There's also a cough."

Lord Liu looked at Feng Lingxi and saw her serious expression. He asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, this disease is highly contagious. Do you have any countermeasures"

Feng Lingxi raised her head and looked at Liu, "Now all the maids in the house have been gathered. Those who are skilled in needlework and embroidery will be called upon to work throughout the night to make a batch of protective supplies. We will go around the city to find some cloth and sew them into the same kind of protective masks as last time, avoiding respiratory infection transmission."

Having learned from the last experience, Lord Liu readily agreed and immediately ordered someone to take care of it.

"Xiao Li, after you have finished your meal, you are in charge of this matter. Remember well, do not skimp on the work."

"Yes, my lord."

Lu Nian listened to Feng Lingxi's words, completely baffled. She didn't know how to help, so she asked, "What can I do for you"

"Follow me first, I'll have something for you to help with later."

Lu Nian nodded. Liu, the magistrate, seeing that Feng Lingxi hadn't eaten yet, hurriedly greeted her, "My lady, please have a meal first. I've already had people prepare it, and there won't be any delay."

Feng Lingxi is now the bedrock of his existence. As long as Feng Lingxi is around, his official hat will remain secure, and there will be a glimmer of hope for the people of Tumu Town.

"Master Liu, please give me the record book of illnesses. I'll take a look tonight and prescribe medicine according to symptoms tomorrow."

This consumption was an incurable disease in ancient times, but she could cure it. She had learned enough to deal with it, but she didn't know if it was as she thought.

After the meal, Feng Lingxi returned to her residence. Lord Liu personally handed Feng Lingxi a record book. Feng Lingxi looked at the records of the patients on it. Judging from their illnesses, they were indeed suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis.

And the first patient to fall ill has passed away. Following previous procedures, they were cremated.

Lu Nian sat beside her, watching Feng Lingxi carefully examine the situation with curious eyes. She wondered if her younger sister's medical skills were as impressive as the rumors claimed.

Feng Lingxi spent half an hour reading through all the records that had been delivered and came to the conclusion that this was tuberculosis. This disease is contagious, and in later stages it can lead to hemoptysis, chest pain, varying degrees of tightness in the chest, or shortness of breath.

Feng Lingxi got up and went aside, opening the medical book she had brought. There was a book inside that recorded pulmonary tuberculosis, but it didn't have specific treatment methods, only prescriptions.

Feng Lingxi wrote down the prescription and handed it to Lu Nian.

"This is the prescription written according to the medical book. You give it to Li Su and his team to make the medicine, and deliver the medicine to the slums."

Lu Nian glanced at the sky outside, "Xi'er, it's so dark outside, can we do it tomorrow"

"I can't dawdle, I need to think later about what other medicines are usable."

Lu Nian nodded, "Then I'll go. Don't wander off, I'll be back soon."

Feng Lingxi responded and jumped in, not paying attention to how long Lu Nian had been gone or when she returned.

Lu Nian took the prescription and gave it to Li Su and the others. When he returned, he saw that all the maidservants of the county government office were walking towards Xiyuan. Out of curiosity, he followed their gaze and saw the officers carrying cloth and following them.

"Wait a minute, where are you guys going"

"This is for Miss Xiaoli, made according to the instructions of the Princess Consort Chen as a protective mask."

These people recognized Lu Nian's respectful reply and were extremely polite to him. Even Elder Liu specifically instructed them to treat Lu Nian with respect, after all, the medicinal herbs this time were all donated by him.

I want to go and have a look.

Lu Nian followed them, over to Xiyuan. There, lanterns glowed brightly, illuminating the rows of maidservants and women busily sewing what they called protective masks. Xiao Li was instructing them on how to sew.

Lu Nian held the sewn mask and looked at it seriously. Xiao Li saw that Lu Nian had arrived and greeted her.

"Young Master Lu, how did you come to be here."

Li Nian looked at the protective mask in her hand, "Is this what your sister made for you"

"This protective mask is worn on the face and can prevent respiratory transmission. This epidemic is contagious, wearing this will be very convenient, and safe."

"Was this developed by your Great Yuan Dynasty, or my younger sister"

"Of course, it was the Princess who told us. She's so clever, she knows everything."

When it came to the queen's makeup, Xiaoli praised it endlessly. Lu carefully examined it, and indeed, it was very finely crafted. After trying it on her face, she had to agree with Xiaoli.

"Little sister, you're really smart. You can think of this."

Xiao Li nodded, looking at Lu Nian, "Young Master Lu, why didn't you come here with the Princess The servant is busy with these things and has no time to take care of the Princess. You help the servant keep an eye on her, so that when I get busy, I won't forget the time."

"She often does that"

Xiaoli nodded, looking at Lu Nian's worried eyes, "The princess always forgets time when she's busy. With this serious epidemic, the servant girl is worried that the princess will stay up all night again tonight."

"Then I'll go back and keep an eye on her. You guys can get some rest when you're done here. If you need anything, just let me know."

Lu Nian finished speaking and then went back.

The situation in this town was indeed more complex than he had imagined. If they dispatched troops, it might arouse suspicion from the Yuan Dynasty court and ultimately harm Xi'er.

It seems like for now, he can only see what Xi'er is capable of. If she can solve it herself, it would save him the trouble of helping.

As Xiao Li said, Lu Nian returned to Feng Ling Xi's place. She was still looking down at medical books, flipping through them, completely unaware that Lu Nian had come back.

"Sister, didn't you just give me the prescription Why are you still looking"

"Treating tuberculosis is very complicated. I want to find some good, stable and fast-acting prescriptions." Feng Lingxi replied without raising her head, "By the way, you can help me ask Lord Liu later if there are any loquat trees here."

"Loquat tree"

"Well, I remember there was a medical book that mentioned this medicine is very helpful for treating tuberculosis."

Lu Nian nodded. "Then I'll ask later, is there anything else you want me to ask"

Feng Lingxi thought for a moment, and casually wrote down the few medicinal herbs she remembered, handing them to Lu Nian. "Take these and ask around to see if these herbs can be found. There are a few more herbs I need to confirm."roactively.The long night, the cold wind howling, yet could not stop the raging fire within.
