Chapter 245 Confidential Prescription

Zhou Chang was lying in the carriage, his whole body was hot, and his eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead: "What day is it today?"

"On the third day, Your Majesty, why do you have to come?" The skinny monkey climbed into the carriage, brought a bowl of soup, and tucked the quilt for Zhou Chang.

"Only the third day?" Zhou Chang was a little confused due to the fever.

Zhou Chang started to have a fever that night after returning from Chaotian Temple the day before yesterday.

While the mind is still clear, transfer the goods from the customers in the dimension over first.

"Ding, congratulations, you have received a total commission of three thousand three hundred taels." The viewpoint system prompts.

[Level: Upper Nine-Three]

【Commission: -5,966,050 taels】

【Order: 3】

Zhou Chang stared at the three words "Shang Jiu San" in a daze, and after a while he remembered to sigh. He didn't know when he could pay off the loan. Even if he did, he would just start from scratch again, and would still be a long way from Yuan Qi's worth.

"There are three orders left. I'd better give up on them as soon as possible. I can't complete them." Zhou Chang's whole body was hot and aching.

The viewpoint system did not answer.

Zhou Chang wiped the system information from his sight.

Afterwards, Skinny Monkey invited Dr. Huang from the Plague Hospital to diagnose his pulse, and it was confirmed that he had contracted the disease.

This time everyone was panicked.

Fortunately, I got the prescription from Taoist Master Yun Huazi.

Zhou Chang decided to test the drug on her first.

After drinking the medicine, I was in a daze and had a fever all night.

The next morning, the medicine took effect. He stayed at home to recuperate for a day, but the fever came back in the evening.

So I continued to take the medicine.

After a night, the fever went away and I felt a little better than the day before.

This morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I heard that not only her, but many other patients showed significant improvement after drinking the medicine.

Taoist Master Yun Huazi's prescription is effective.

But Prince Yi did not show up in the epidemic area for three consecutive days, and Qin Shou was determined not to show up, so many problems arose.

The victims were looting and squeezing each other, the supply of medicine was insufficient, and the rice and grain were also running out...

Zhou Chang had a little more strength than yesterday. He forced himself to get up from the bed and insisted on going to the epidemic area to take a look.

As a result, when I landed on the ground, my whole body felt sore and I almost fell down.

After some trouble, Zhou Chang finally climbed onto the carriage and lay down in the compartment. The temperature, which had finally gone down, started to rise again.

In the past few days, Zhou Chang donated money and food from his own pocket, and also donated medicinal materials from the Siwei Pharmacy.

But it is just a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, some of the medicinal materials that the Imperial Hospital had transferred from the south of Peishui and the north of Zhushan had also arrived.

Zhou Chang immediately ordered the medical officers of the plague hospital to prepare and boil the medicine according to the prescription. Some people's fever went away soon after drinking the medicine.

As for the prescription, Zhou Chang, at Zhong Yu's suggestion, withheld two key medicinal ingredients and waited for the medical officer to put them into the pot, and then the clerk of the four-flavor medicine shop would put them in.

As for the "main medicine" mentioned by Taoist Yun Huazi, it has to be kept secret and monopolized by the Siwei Medicine Shop. It has to be ground into powder and someone is assigned to watch it. When the time comes, no one else will be allowed to see it and the medicine lead will be put into the medicine pot.

For three consecutive days, this prescription was not only effective, but also showed rapid results. Now, as long as the supply of medicinal materials continues, the people in the epidemic area will have hope.

Zhou Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was burning with fever.

However, due to Prince Yi's status as a prince and for the sake of deterrence, she insisted on staying outside the epidemic area. It was not appropriate for him to monopolize the entire medical tent, so she simply hid in the carriage.

Zhou Chang had the experience of "Xi Yang Yang" twice in a row in his previous life. Although his body felt uncomfortable and his throat felt like it was being cut by a knife, he always had peace of mind.

She moved two quilts and spread them in the carriage. After a round of inspection, when the situation improved, she would lie back in the carriage when she had time. When anyone had something to report, they would come directly to the carriage to find her.

To be honest, it was better to use the carriage of Pei Li, the Minister of Justice, rather than the carriage contributed by Hu Wan's family. Otherwise, if she lay in the carriage of Prince Yi, which was leaky on all sides, it would really cost her her life.

After a while, the skinny monkey brought the heater and hot cups again.

Zhou Chang took some medicine and kept himself warm, and he no longer felt very uncomfortable.

His condition improved, he regained his energy and was able to sit up with difficulty. Looking out through the car window, he saw two long lines of people lined up behind the guardrail in the distance, one line was distributing porridge, and the other line was distributing medicine. The porridge and medicine were being distributed in an orderly manner.

There are soldiers and medical officers guarding the end of the line. Only those who have been confirmed to be sick can come to line up to get medicine. The rest of the people, whether sick or not, can get a bowl of hot porridge.

In the cold winter, a bowl of hot porridge can often save a life.

After all, a carriage is not a bed. I kept waking up and falling asleep, and my whole body ached.

As the sun was setting, it was almost time for Zhou Chang to stay on the front line of the epidemic area. He slowly got off the carriage, stretched himself, and thought about meeting Zhong Yu and returning to the palace.

When Zhong Yu saw Zhou Chang get off the carriage, he walked over to the big pot where the medicine was boiling.

Even though Zhong Yu was in poor health and often fainted, this time Prince Yi collapsed directly. Although Zhong Yu was almost inseparable from Prince Yi every day, he was not affected.

Zhou Chang was relieved, but still worried about him: "Mr. Zhong doesn't have to work so hard and watch over him every day."

Zhong Yu's face looked increasingly haggard. Although he was not sick, it was due to overwork.

"The prince should be recuperating in the palace." Zhong Yu was half worried about Zhou Chang and half frowning: "The speed of distributing medicine is too fast. If these two pots are distributed, there will be no more medicine."

"When will the next batch of medicinal materials arrive?" Zhou Chang looked at the endless queue in the epidemic area and had no idea.

Although the epidemic broke out in Xicheng District, it was out of control and spread to the other three cities.

Because of this, medicinal materials are still in short supply throughout the city.

Zhong Yuguan shook his head and sighed, "The earliest we can expect a batch of medicine to arrive is tomorrow, but we can't say for sure. And even if it arrives, it will take an hour to boil the medicine. I estimate that the next batch of medicine will not be available until tomorrow afternoon."

A good cook cannot cook without rice, and without medicinal materials, Zhou Chang was helpless.

But if there were herbs, Zhou Chang suddenly had an idea: "This is too slow. Waiting for the herbs to arrive, boiling them, and then distributing them is really too slow. It's better to divide the herbs into small packages and divide them into appropriate quantities, so that they can take the herbs and boil them themselves."

"That's a good idea, but..." Zhong Yuranzi immediately thought of something wrong, "The key ingredient in the herbal medicine cannot be leaked."

"That thing is just a little powder. We mixed it with harmless and irrelevant powders and packaged it into a daily amount. Even those with bad intentions can't tell what kind of medicinal material it is."

Zhong Yu has always been cautious: "Because the powder is black, I have asked Shopkeeper Cui to add some irrelevant black powder to the powder, but I still worry."

"This prescription can't be kept secret for long. We're just stalling for time now." Zhou Chang didn't intend to keep a monopoly on it. As long as the prescription was released, it would sooner or later be seen by someone with ulterior motives.
