“Yes.” Principal Zhou responded and turned around to leave.
The Emperor looked at the remaining four Imperial Physicians and said, “Send a message to your families. Do not leave the palace unless there is something important.”.
“Yes.” The four responded and turned around to return to the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
The Emperor then began to approve the memorials.
When Principal Zhou came out, he saw Gu Chengrui and stepped forward to greet him with cupped fists.
“Greetings. You’re here to confirm the condition, right? Follow me.” After Gu Chengrui finished greeting him, he brought him to the hospital.
He walked to a side courtyard and said, “There’s a family of three inside. They’re all infected with smallpox. Be careful when you go in.”
“Alright.” Principal Zhou nodded and walked in.
He saw the people guarding outside, the lime powder scattered on the ground, and the choking smell of disinfectant in the space.
He was impressed with Gu Chengrui.
At the same time, he became even more vigilant.
After entering the house, the smell of disinfectant became even more potent. A five- or six-year-old girl squatted by the window and looked outside with a longing expression.
At the same time, he realized that there were already several pustules on her face.
“Young lady, don’t move. Let Grandpa take a look at you.”
The little girl was frightened by him. However, she quickly asked with anticipation, “Grandpa, can you cure my illness?”
“Yes, but Grandpa has to see it to treat it.”
The little girl nodded and stood there obediently.
Principle Zhou dared not stand before her to examine her but stood beside her. At the same time, he asked about the symptoms of the little girl and her family.
In the end, he confirmed that it was really smallpox.
He was a little flustered. After comforting the girl, he immediately turned around and ran out.
When he reached the exit, the gatekeeper took a broom and sprinkled disinfectant on his body.
Principle Zhou was stunned for a moment. He stood there obediently and waited.
Finally, he asked for some disinfectant and rubbed his hands before leaving the small courtyard.
He walked to Gu Chengrui, who was not far away. “It’s smallpox. Did you find anyone else with the same symptoms?”
“Not yet.
“I’ve asked them about their whereabouts. Fortunately, they’ve only stayed in Northern City, so what we need to do now is seal the city as soon as possible.
“The authority required is too great, so I can’t make the decision. That was why I went to look for the Emperor.”
“Alright, let’s think of a complete plan as soon as possible and present it to the Emperor. He’s waiting for our memorial.”
“Follow me.” Gu Chengrui nodded and brought him to his office.
The two of them discussed for almost two hours and finally wrote a temporary implementation plan. They quickly presented it to the Emperor.
After the Emperor had the memorial disinfected, he opened it and read it seriously.
There were three main points.
First, close down the entire capital, even the docks and all the passages out of the capital.
Second, implement regional quarantine to prevent widespread infection.
Third, and most importantly, find the source of the infection as soon as possible.
Finally, there was the treatment plan, and the prescriptions for each stage were attached. It was written in detail and concisely.
After reading it, the Emperor also confirmed that Gu Chengrui was the leader of this plan.
Because many of the ideas were novel and bold.
He smiled and began to pass out the imperial edicts one by one.
After he was done with his work, the Retired Emperor walked in with the support of Eunuch Li.
“Father, why are you here?” The Emperor hurriedly went forward and helped the Retired Emperor sit down.
“Ahem, I heard rumors from the palace that smallpox was discovered in the capital, so I came to ask if it’s true.”
“Yes, Gu Chengrui and Principal Zhou have confirmed it..”
