Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1527

Chapter 1527: Chapter 1522: Aid No Matter How Far

Bai Qingyan, though slender, stood tall at the doorway, surveying the coughing and feverish patients scattered throughout the area, her brow furrowed.

"Please, rise! Everyone, please rise!" Seeing Doctor Hong about to bow, Bai Qingyan quickly supported him, "Doctor Hong, you are a senior of the Bai family. Your effort this time, and that of these benevolent and righteous doctors who came to this epidemic-stricken city... I already feel indebted. It should be me bowing and thanking everyone profusely!"

With that, Bai Qingyan took a step back and bowed deeply to the doctors. This gesture was heartfelt. They truly lived up to the phrase ’medics are the parents in heart and mind.’

The doctors quickly stepped aside to avoid Bai Qingyan’s bow, standing respectfully with their heads lowered.

"I know you’ve just arrived and are extremely busy; saving lives is paramount. There’s no need to stay with me here. I will look around myself under General Qian’s guidance!" Bai Qingyan said, turning to look at the doctors following her, "Please, continue with your work. If you need anything, let me know. Though I can’t assist in the medical treatment, I will strive to ensure you have what you need. I will not let the righteous who risk themselves for the people lack anything!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The doctors following Bai Qingyan hurriedly bowed, feeling a sense of shame in their hearts.

Doctor Hong glanced at the other doctors, understanding Bai Qingyan’s intention—to pretend not to notice their fear and desire to leave, hoping they would stay and treat the infected citizens.

Indeed, there’s currently a shortage of personnel. If these doctors stay, it would greatly benefit Doctor Hong and those who came.

Doctor Hong didn’t mind their previous intent to leave, and said, "Now, we need to divide these patients into three categories based on the three prescriptions we previously discussed. We’ll use different prescriptions to see which works best. Doctor Niu, could you kindly explain this in detail to these doctors while I accompany His Majesty on an inspection?"

"Sure, I’ll handle this!" Doctor Niu, who had a gentle temperament, held a roster and discussed with the doctors, "Before administering any medicine, we must check the color of the cloth tied around the patient’s arm against the names on this roster, ensuring accuracy before giving the medication..."

Doctor Hong accompanied Bai Qingyan inside the shelter. Upon seeing Bai Qingyan standing outside, the people hurriedly knelt, even the severely ill struggled to get off their makeshift beds to kneel by their beds.

Bai Qingyan looked at the shelter capable of providing shelter from wind and rain, constructed from bamboo, covered with oilcloth on top, and layered with straw underneath. The sides remained open for ventilation...

Although such a shelter was more than adequate against wind and rain, it would struggle to withstand heavy snow. Seeing that snow was imminent, the shelter likely needed repairs.

Bai Qingyan shook the columns supporting the shelter and turned to Qian Yongzhong, "This shelter needs reinforcement; otherwise, it will collapse under heavy snow!"

"Yes, I’ve noted it down! I’ll send someone to reinforce it once we return!" Qian Yongzhong replied with cupped fists.

"The charcoal inside the shelter should not run out..." Bai Qingyan considered this and asked Doctor Hong, "Can we block the wind on both sides with felt blankets? It’s too cold to have all sides open to the wind. Is it possible to leave just one side open?"

"Leaving one side open is feasible, allowing those with mild symptoms to stay outside, while severe cases remain inside. Daily, we can fumigate with moxa and other treatments." Doctor Hong responded.

Earlier this morning, when the troops from Zhou escorted doctors and medicine, they thought it was the Yan Kingdom’s court sending aid out of concern for Yan citizens. Later, they learned it was the Emperor of Zhou personally leading troops to escort the doctors and herbs to the plague area in Yan, to fight the plague alongside the people. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
