ly behind, they quickly retreated.Dugu Yan walked over with her attendants, looked at the scene in front of her, greeted her, and her gaze fell on Dugu City."Fourth younger brother, could you please s..."How many days has the child been coughing"
"On the third day, a rash had already started to appear."
Feng Lingxi stepped forward, grabbed the child's hand to feel his pulse. The woman standing beside watched Feng Lingxi’s actions, excitedly wanting to grab Feng Lingxi's hand but then withdrew in the next instant. She pleaded bitterly, “Goddess Bodhisattva, please save my child, please save him.”
"Hold on, let me take a look first."
Wind Lingxi opened her mouth, and the woman immediately shut her own, anxiously watching Wind Lingxi take the pulse of her child.
"Doctor Tian, do you have silver needles"
"Here you go, Crown Princess."
Feng Lingxi took it, grasped the child's finger, after pricking with a needle, she took out a handkerchief and dabbed it on top, folded the handkerchief neatly, and put it in the box.
"Little Li, take this and bring it back."
Feng Lingxi's actions left Tian Daifu puzzled, "Princess Consort of Chen, this is..."
"Useful."
Feng Lingxi checked the child's back of the neck, chest, arms, and back. There were already some red rashes, but they weren't very noticeable.
"Your Highness, will my son be alright"
The woman watched Feng Lingxi get up and immediately asked, her humble eyes filled with pleading. With such a noble status, if the princess were to lend a hand, her child would surely be saved.
“He's in the initial stage now, I need to check him thoroughly. For later stages patients, after confirming the condition, however, I will rewrite a prescription for Dr. Tian to make the medicine later. All initial stage patients will take the medicine. I will continue to come tomorrow.”
Feng Lingxi's words worried Lord Liu, who hurriedly said, "Your Highness the Crown Princess, this is all patients. You can come tomorrow. Aren't you afraid of..."
"It's okay."
Feng Lingxi looked at the worry in Liu's eyes, "Take me to check on the later patients, Doctor Tian, you come with me, and afterwards I will give you the prescription."
"Yes."
Doctor Tian looked at Feng Ling Xi's determined face and curiously asked, "Your Highness the Crown Princess, a commoner dares to ask, do you know what illness they have"
"Not sure yet, should know later."
Dr. Tian hurried her to check on the later-stage patients in other areas. The later-stage patients had blisters all over their bodies, and these blisters burst open by themselves, oozing pus and blood, giving off a foul and sickening stench. The air was thick with a terrible smell. Some of them were so itchy that they scratched frantically, enduring the pain accompanied by intense itching, making life unbearable.
Feng Lingxi had never encountered such a situation before.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, please keep your distance from these late-stage patients to avoid getting sick."
Doctor Tian instructed, Feng Lingxi looked at the patients of different degrees of illness around her and asked in confusion, "Doctor Tian, are there any patients here who have cross-infected each other"
"This..."
Lord Liu hurriedly replied, "Your Highness Princess Chen, these patients haven't shown signs of infection. However, they all fell ill separately and were brought here for individual treatment."
Feng Lingxi walked up to a patient lying on the ground, his body oozing pus and blood. The man stared blankly at the sky with a look of utter despair, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Can you tell me how you feel right now"
The people on the ground were unresponsive, their eyes filled with despair.
Mr. Liu hurried forward, "Quickly answer, this is the Princess Consort of Chen..."
"Master Liu, let me speak to him."
Feng Lingxi looked at this person, "I know you are not willing to accept this, looking at your current situation, I hope you can tell me about your body's feelings, so that I can find a way to detoxify."
The man still didn't react.
"Princess Consort, how about we find someone else"
Feng Ling Xi shook her head, looking at this person, and continued, "Since you are unwilling, why not cooperate with me I ask you, are you willing to be my test subject"
There was a glimmer in that person's eyes, and they turned to look at Feng Lingxi. Facing the firmness in her gaze, they weakly asked, "Will I die"
"Are you afraid of death"
That person shook their head, looking up at the sky.
"Since you're not afraid of death, why ask me Although I can't be 100% certain, I've roughly guessed your current illness. I need your cooperation to help me test the medicine. In three days, you'll see the effect."
"Good."
That person agreed. Feng Lingxi took out a bottle and gave him a pill, saying, "Take this. After an hour, you will begin the first trial."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking and instructed Xiaoli, "Later, I'll write you a prescription. You go back and dispense the medicine yourself. Also, ask Gu Li to come find me."
Xiao Li's eyes were full of worry, "Your Highness, are you really sure"
Feng Lingxi nodded, "Also, bring my acupuncture kit. And, ask Yu Mo to get me realgar, slaked lime, and wood ash..."
Feng Lingxi, in one breath, said a string of words. She walked to Dr. Tian's side and wrote down a string of prescriptions. These herbs were all the ones brought this time. "Take them, hurry up and come back."
Lord Liu looked at Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, it's almost dark. Shouldn't you go back first and come again tomorrow"
Feng Lingxi shook her head, "Sir Liu, please help me complete the first trial medication here. In two hours, I can leave."
"Yes."
Feng Lingxi began to prepare the medicinal materials for brewing medicine. Doctor Tian watched Feng Lingxi choose the medicinal materials, and his chosen herbs were not much different from his own, but there were a few more types.
Xiao Li arrived quickly after getting the medicinal herbs, Gu Li followed suit. Feng Ling Xi looked at Gu Li's astonished expression and whispered something in her ear. Gu Li hurried away. When she returned, she had a bottle in her hand filled with leeches.
"First, have the leech suck on his wound until it's full, then apply this medicine to the wound evenly."
The trial subject looked at Guli clutching a leech and placing it on his body, his eyes filled with fear, but only for a moment.
The leech was discarded once it had its fill.
Doctor Tian looked at Feng Lingxi's actions, his eyes full of confusion.
"Your Highness, Princess of the Chen Clan, what use does this thing have"
"Squeeze out the blood clot from his wound, apply the prepared medicine to it, and expel the toxins. Only then will the wound be able to scab over."
Feng Lingxi explained, carefully picking up the well-fed leech and taking a good look at it before putting it back.
"The medicine on this wound will be changed for the second time tomorrow, and you should tell me about any changes in your body tomorrow."
That person nodded, now that the wound had been smeared with ointment, it felt much more comfortable. The feeling of pain and itchiness was unclear whether it was his illusion or if it had truly lessened quite a bit.
"Master Liu, let's go back first."
Feng Lingxi moved her body, at this late hour, she wondered if Dugu City and the others had arrived yet.
"Your Highness, Crown Princess of the Chen Dynasty, you've worked hard. This official has already had a palanquin prepared for you. Please."
Feng Lingxi looked at Tian Dafu, "Here, please trouble Tian Dafu to have more medicinal ointment made from the prescription just now. Apply it to the wounds of those in the later stages of the disease. I will gather the rest of the herbs tomorrow."
"The commoner will just have someone make medicine."
Feng Lingxi then left.
"Your Majesty, so many people are ill here, and each person requires such a large amount of medicine. Just how much medicine would be needed to treat them all"ausing the audience to cover their ears, fearing that the rough noise would damage their hearing.The sound of the qin rose, not as rough as they had imagined, but rather a melodious flow of notes.
