Chapter 38 Buffet
The words mentioned in the letters of family that Princess Chai received were completely different from what Gan Sui said.
The letter from my family said that since the King of Zheng fell ill last year, the royal family had informed the prefect of Fangzhou many times, asking him to submit a report to the court and asking the imperial physician to come to treat King of Zheng.
At that time, Na Gan Sui agreed, but he was reluctant to see any news from the court. When Zheng Wangfu asked about it, he only said that bandits were rampant in Fangzhou, and most of the officials sent to deliver the letter were robbed and killed by bandits.
After delaying for several months, the royal family saw that King Zheng was getting worse, so he had to send his servants in the mansion to secretly go to Bianjing to ask Princess Chai for emergency treatment.
But at this time, Gan Sui completely blamed him. How could Shi Wei not feel suspicious when he heard this?
When Shi Wei heard Pan Weide say that this Fangzhou magistrate Gan Sui was an old official under the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture of King Zhao Guangyi, Shi Wei suddenly had a guess. Could it be that Gan Sui deliberately suppressed King Zheng's condition and did not report it, and it was the instruction of King Jin?
When Shi Wei was speculating in his heart, Princess Chai was naturally confused after hearing this.
Just when she was about to question, Shi Wei said first: "Princess, Your Highness Zheng's illness is important. You might as well discuss the rest of the matter later. It is important to rush to the royal palace first."
Seeing through Gan Sui's intention to delay, Shi Wei knew that it would be meaningless even if Princess Chai continued to confront him, because she could not prove that Gan Sui's words were false based on just one letter.
After hearing Shi Wei's advice, Princess Chai felt it was reasonable. At that moment, she had to temporarily suppress her suspicion and shouted: "What you said is true or false. This princess will report to the uncle Ming to conduct detailed verification. Now you don't have to delay and quickly lead us to the royal palace."
Gan Sui didn't dare to talk nonsense now, and nodded repeatedly, leading the way, leading them into Fangling City, and heading straight to Zheng Wang Mansion west of the city.
Fangzhou is a barren land, but the Zheng Palace is magnificent, not inferior to the wealthy courtyards in Bianjing. It seems that although Chai Zongxun was moved to this remote place, Zhao Kuangyin did not take him slowly.
After entering the palace, Princess Chai was eager to see her brother, and she didn't care about her princess's dignity and rushed to the residence of King Zheng.
Shi Wei followed closely behind and followed a hall room with his run.
When Princess Chai saw the sick young man lying on the couch, she was stunned for a moment, then tears burst out from her eyes, shouted "Brother Wang", and she rushed forward.
The young man, I think, was the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty, and King Chai Zongxun of Zheng.
Judging from his age, he is only ten years old, but he is withered and haggard. Even laymen can tell that he is seriously ill.
Chai Zongxun, who was sick, looked at a young girl who rushed over, crying and calling herself the king's brother, as if she was sick and not very smart. She didn't recognize Princess Chai for a moment, and her expression was quite confused.
It is no wonder that when the two brothers and sisters separated, Princess Chai was less than five years old. As the saying goes, the girl changed eighteen years old. Now she has not seen her for ten years. Princess Chai's appearance is very different from her childhood, and it is surprising that Chai Zongxun cannot recognize her.
After a moment of stunned silence, a hint of surprise suddenly burst out in Chai Zongxun's eyes, and he shouted: "Pearl, is it you?"
"Brother Wang, I am Pearl, it's me." Princess Chai nodded crying.
Chai Zongxun was overjoyed, and the brother and sister hugged each other and cried. I didn’t know whether it was joy or sorrow during this reunion, but they were moved by the people around them.
However, Chai Zongxun was so excited that he suddenly coughed heavily, and he was so angry that he almost felt like he was carrying his breath.
"Brother Wang, what's wrong with you, Brother Wang..." Princess Chai suddenly panicked when she saw her brother like this.
Seeing this, Shi Wei indeed stepped forward, pulled Princess Chai away gently, and said, "Princess, Princess Zheng is sick and should not be too excited. You should step aside and let me treat him."
When the brother and sister met, Princess Chai was also forgot about love. Only then did she remember Shi Weilai and hurriedly said to her brother: "Brother Wang, don't worry, this Imperial Doctor Shi is the best famous doctor in Bianjing. He will definitely cure your illness."
After saying that, she said to Shi Wei again: "Doctor Shi, Brother Wang's illness is all about you."
"Don't worry, the princess will do his best."
Shi Wei did not make any promises. He looked at Chai Zongxun's face. After all, he seemed to have a sick and a waste of ointment on the surface. Even if he could think of a treatment method, he might not have enough time to take medicine.
He immediately sat next to the bed and took Chai Zongxun's pulse quietly.
After calling him a pulse, he asked about Chai Zongxun's symptoms in detail and looked at his face and tongue color in detail.
After a cup of tea, Shi Wei's originally plain brows were tightly condensed.
Looking at Shi Wei's expression, Princess Chai became nervous and asked carefully: "Doctor Shi, is Brother Wang's disease still saved?"
Shi Wei did not answer, but instead called the head of the royal palace.
Not long after, the white-haired boss staggered in, and Shi Wei asked: "In the past few months, have anyone in the royal palace developed symptoms such as cough, chest pain, or anorexia?"
The boss scratched his head and thought for a long time, and said, "It seems that some people were having a bad time because of coughing a few days ago, and they were taking leave with me."
"It's true that's not what I expected." Shi Wei nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Princess Chai became more anxious and confused, and hurriedly said, "Doctor Shi, Brother Wang, what is going on with this disease? Don't scare me."
Shi Wei no longer concealed it and said bluntly: "If you don't hide it from the princess, the disease of Zheng Wang is not incurable, but he has tuberculosis, but it may be transmitted to others. It may take some trouble to cure it."
When I heard the word "tuberculosis", everyone on both sides changed their color and instinctively took a step back.
Even Princess Chai was surprised and was a little unbelievable for a moment.
This tuberculosis is the so-called tuberculosis. In ancient times, it was also called "white plague".
In fact, this tuberculosis is only transmitted through saliva. As long as effective hygiene measures can be taken and isolated from diet and water are done, the transmission of tuberculosis will easily be stopped.
Because of the poor sanitation facilities in ancient times and people's self-protection awareness, tuberculosis, like most epidemics, will make people feel disgusted.
At this time, the boss said, "But we hired several doctors before, but they didn't say that your highness had tuberculosis, they just said that your highness lacked blood and energy, and they just wanted to replenish qi and nourish blood."
Shi Weidun was suspicious and asked to bring the diagnostic prescriptions of the previous doctors.
The boss manager came to find Fang Zi, and Shi Wei looked over it, and the suspicion in his heart became heavier.
Logically speaking, although tuberculosis is terrible, it is not difficult to diagnose the cause. However, the diagnosis results of those doctors seemed to have been discussed in advance, and all diagnosed as insufficient qi and blood.
At this time, Shi Wei had even more reason to believe that Gan Suiyin reported that King Zheng's condition was definitely true, and these doctors who came to the clinic were likely to have been bribed in advance and deliberately gave a wrong diagnosis to delay King Zheng's treatment.
In this way, it seems that someone really wants to take this opportunity to make Chai Zongxun die from illness. According to Gan Sui's background, this person is likely to be Zhao Guangyi.
Thinking of Zhao Guangyi's actions in history that poisoned Li Yu and forced Xiao Zhou to death, Shi Wei had reason to believe that Zhao Guangyi's reason for killing Chai Zongxun was very simple, just to eliminate future troubles.
"But Zhao Kuangyin was not in a hurry to die in Chai Zongxun. Why did Zhao Guangyi worry about him? Could it be that he had entered the role so quickly, and he had already regarded himself as the only candidate for the next heir to the throne, and was he busy eliminating hidden dangers for himself in advance?"
When Shi Wei was speculating in his heart, Princess Chai was already cursing: "These quack doctors in Fangzhou deserve to die. They almost killed Brother Wang, Doctor Shi, you must find a way to save Brother Wang."
Shi Wei comforted: "Don't worry, princess, fortunately we came in time. Your Highness Zheng's illness has not yet reached the point of being unable to be cured. As long as you follow what I say, I will protect Your Highness Zheng's safety and well."
King Zheng on the bed coughed and said, "Doctor Shi, just say whatever you want, I will just follow your instructions."
With King Zheng’s words, Shi Wei can use his fists with confidence.
He made a deployment in an orderly tone.
He first asked the boss to isolate all the people in the royal palace who showed signs of tuberculosis and prevent them from contacting outsiders. Then he taught them a set of detailed sanitation measures, such as not being allowed to spit anywhere, not being allowed to share cups, bowls, and washing hands frequently.
"It's okay if you don't spit anywhere, and wash your hands frequently, but you don't share the cups and bowls. How can you not share the same table of dishes?" The boss seemed a little embarrassed.
Shi Wei said lightly: "This is very simple. In the future, everyone should not eat at the same table. Instead, they should eat buffet instead. They should eat their own food."
"buffet?"
Not only the boss manager, but everyone present was surprised by this unheard of words.
Shi Wei patiently told everyone how to eat a buffet.
These people have long been used to eating the same table of dishes and siping each other. When they listen to Shi Wei's "quirky" way of eating, they feel a little puzzled.
Shi Wei also knew that he could not change the custom for a while, so he said, "The way to eat this buffet is just a temporary solution, just to prevent everyone from being infected with tuberculosis. After the disease is eradicated, everyone can eat the same table of dishes."
Everyone reluctantly accepted it.
At this time, Princess Chai asked anxiously: "Doctor Shi, you have just talked about the 'buffet' for a long time, and only talked about how to prevent and cure Brother Wang's tuberculosis to others, but how should Brother Wang and the person who has contracted this tuberculosis be treated?"
Shi Wei smiled slightly and said slowly: "Prince, don't worry, princess, I have said a long time ago that tuberculosis is not an incurable disease. What the princess has to do now is to send someone to report to Your Majesty immediately and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to order more eels in coastal prefectures and counties, and send them to Fangzhou every day."
"Eel?" A little strange color flashed in Princess Chai's big watery eyes.
