After learning more about the situation, we found out that Lady Rouyao and these doctors had just arrived in the capital. When they heard that there was an epidemic and there were no doctors coming in to treat the patients, they volunteered to come in.
Zi'an admired these volunteers, except for County Lady Rouyao. The main reason was that she was so beautiful and he knew that she liked Murong Jie.
She felt that any man would like a woman like County Princess Rouyao, who was warm, generous, charitable, and spared no effort in treating patients.
Murong Jie wouldn't like it? You're kidding.
While working, General Li saw Zi'an's professional side, which was much more professional than those doctors.
She required that all wounds be cleaned with her homemade disinfectant, and after disinfection, the wounds were indeed much cleaner than before.
Moreover, she gave acupuncture to every patient.
When Lady Rouyao first saw her giving acupuncture, she sneered, "You're the only one who wants to learn acupuncture from others?"
However, when she saw Zi'an performing the flying needle technique and continuously inserting needles into the patient's head, her ridicule slowly turned into respect.
People who study medicine are all proud, but at the same time they are in awe of those with superb medical skills.
Zi'an had not rested for more than fifty patients and had been giving acupuncture for two hours straight. Many people could not hold on, but she was still energetic.
General Li looked down on Zi'an at first, but now he has slightly improved Zi'an's status.
"Is acupuncture useful?" After Zi'an finished the acupuncture, Princess Rouyao brought some steamed buns and porridge and asked Zi'an.
Zi'an washed her hands and sat down. She picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she opened the medicine box and took out the notebook. These were the notes she had taken when she treated Wang Yu and others. After she finished eating the steamed bun, she said, "It can control the speed of the disease a little. After the acupuncture, they can drink water and can be fed rice soup. It can be regarded as temporarily keeping them alive, so that we can buy time to develop a prescription."
"Can acupuncture relieve symptoms?" County Lady Rouyao clearly didn't believe it. "How do you know? Have you ever seen this kind of zombie disease?"
"I haven't seen it before, but before I came to the epidemic area, I treated several zombie patients. After acupuncture, their symptoms were relieved, but they didn't recover."
Rouyao County Lady was stunned for a moment. "You treated him before you came? Are there zombie patients in other places?"
"Yes, in addition to Stone Village, zombie disease has also appeared in other places." Zi'an flipped through his notes and looked up at County Lady Rouyao. "When you came, what were the wounds of these patients like? Can you tell me clearly? And the process of their illness, how often it occurs, and the situation when it occurs. I want to know all of this, and then make a comparison."
Princess Rouyao was obviously very professional. She put aside her personal grudges and took out a notebook from the window of the ancestral hall and handed it to her. "This is the record I made after I came here. After I came here, about six or seven patients died every day."
Six or seven? Obviously this was a batch, which means that when the zombie patients were released, they bit six or seven people at a time.
They will definitely prepare three to four batches of patients, which means about twenty people in total.
And these patients will also die, which means that every few, they need to capture living people and take them to their hideouts to turn them into zombie patients so that they can continue to deploy them to other places.
Zi'an marked it and called General Li in. "General Li, please go to the Regent's Palace tonight and tell the prince to keep an eye out for the recent missing persons in the capital or outside the city."
"Missing people?" General Li obviously didn't understand.
"Just tell him, he knows it." Zi'an said.
"Okay then. I'll go right away." General Li bowed and went out.
As soon as General Li left, Su Qing came in with a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Come, let's have a drink."
Zi'an said unhappily, "You guys just can't live without alcohol for a day."
"Wine is a good thing, what do you know?" Su Qing sat down, took a sip and handed it to Zi'an, "Take a sip, relieve the pressure."
Zi'an was indeed very tired, so he took the drink, took a sip and passed it back to Su Qing.
Su Qing continued to drink, and County Lady Rouyao snatched it away with one hand, "Let me drink some too."
Su Qing spread his hands, "You're still talking about me, you're all drunk heroines."
Princess Rouyao drank several sips in succession, and then said to Zi'an, "Come out, I have something else to ask you."
Zi'an raised his head and looked at her, "Let's talk later if you have anything to say."
"No, I'm impatient and I say whatever comes to my mind."
Su Qing took two steps back with the wine in his hand, "Are you going to fight? It's not worth fighting for a man. There are so many men in this world."
When Princess Rouyao heard this, her expression suddenly turned cold, and she grabbed Zi'an's wrist with one hand, "Let's go!"
Zi'an was dragged out by her. The village was pitch black at night. Although there were lanterns hanging in the ancestral hall, the light was dim and almost invisible.
Princess Rouyao pulled her under the big banyan tree and stared at her, "You are engaged to my cousin, right?"
Zi'an crossed his arms and said, "That's right." Declare war? Okay, who's afraid of who? She is his legitimate fiancée.
"Why?" asked Lady Rouyao coldly.
"Why?" Zi'an smiled faintly, "Is there any reason? I like him, and he likes me very much, so we got engaged, it's that simple."
"Really? Are you really so affectionate?" County Lady Rouyao obviously didn't believe it.
"Isn't it?" Zi'an said conceitedly, "He proposed to me several times, but I refused. In the end, I finally agreed because he pushed me too hard and used his power to pressure me."
"He threatened you?" Princess Rouyao seemed to be greatly shocked. "My cousin would never do such a thing."
"That's the fact. He insisted on marrying me."
Rouyao County Lady stared at her, "You mean, he forced you to marry him, and you don't want to marry him? Do you have someone else in your heart?"
Zi'an was stunned. This boast was a bit too much, and it seemed like he was setting a trap for himself.
As expected, Rouyao County Lady said coldly: "Although you are married to my cousin, you have someone else in your heart, right? Then you are not worthy of my cousin, and the person you like will not like a fickle woman like you."
Zi'an knew he was at a disadvantage, but he was not in a hurry. "Whether she is worthy or not is not up to you or me. I can't do anything if he wants to marry me. Anyway, I have decided to be the regent princess. Whoever wants to steal my man will die miserably."
I don't know which wise man once said that to deal with women who covet your man, you must speak harshly and make vicious threats so that she will stay away.
Rouyao County Lady snorted, "If that's the case, you should love your cousin well. Why are you being nice to other men? I look down on women like you the most. It's fine if you cheated on your cousin, but you dare to cheat on Su Qing?"
"What the hell? I lied to Su Qing? What does this have to do with Su Qing?"
