“Mistress, please continue.” Niu Fugui said.

“The other thing is to buy lime powder and sprinkle some on every corner to prevent the disease from breeding.”

“Yes, I will arrange for someone to buy the lime powder.”

“Wait, go in the afternoon. I’ll make some protective equipment.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she left all the people who knew needlework behind.

She opened the warehouse and asked them to make a large number of three-layer masks with fine cotton cloth.

After she was done, she went to the study room and took out a few large jars of disinfectant that Gu Chengrui had made himself.

She got someone to carry a jar out and soak all the masks. After drying them, she distributed them to everyone.

However, she did not stop at this.

She made another batch and planned to send it to the hospital.

At the same time, she also made a batch of gloves. She used two layers of fabric and added a layer of oil paper in the middle to make it safer to use.

On the other end, Gu Chengrui was running all the way to the palace.

However, he did not go in when he reached the palace gate. Instead, he told the guards guarding the city from afar about the smallpox in the capital and asked them to go in and inform the Emperor.

This was so he wouldn’t be blamed if someone in the palace was infected.

When the guard heard this, he was shocked. He called someone to fill in for him and hurriedly ran into the palace.

Eunuch Qian saw the guard running at an urgent speed. His heart thumped as he stepped forward to stop him. “What’s the matter? Why are you so flustered?” “Do you know Doctor Gu Chengrui? He said that he discovered smallpox in the capital and asked me to pass this news on to the Emperor.”

Eunuch Qian’s face stiffened when he heard that.

He strode into the royal study and told the Emperor the news.

After hearing this, the Emperor’s hand jolted, and half of the approved memorials in his hand snapped. He hurriedly stood up and asked, “Are you sure?”

“It was Lord Gu who discovered it. He was afraid of spreading the disease into the palace, so he didn’t dare to come in.” Eunuch Qian replied.

The Emperor was very touched when he heard that. At the same time, he believed in Gu Chengrui’s medical skills, so he panicked even more.

He ordered, “Call all the imperial physicians on duty in the Imperial Academy of Medicine over.

“In addition, inform the people in the palace that they can only leave and not enter.

“No one is allowed to enter the back of the palace.

“Also, inform the Empress to monitor the back.

“From today onward, I will not enter there until the epidemic ends.”

“Yes, I’ll make the arrangements now. How should we go back to Lord Gu?” Eunuch Qian asked.

“Let him wait for a while. We’ll talk after seeing the imperial physicians.”

“Yes.” Eunuch Qian responded and immediately passed down the orders to the eunuchs beside him.

When the people from the Imperial Academy of Medicine received the news, they were all so scared that their legs went weak.

However, they still ran to the royal study one by one.

“Tell me first, have any of you ever been infected with smallpox?” The Emperor asked directly when he saw them enter.

After the imperial physicians heard this, they looked at each other and finally shook their heads. After all, it had been a long time since smallpox had been sighted.

“Your Majesty, Lord Gu has just turned twenty. Could it be that he has made the wrong diagnosis?” Principal Zhou looked up at the Emperor.

“Why don’t you go out and confirm it?” The Emperor asked.

“I…” Principal Zhou immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

However, he also knew this was not the time to chicken out. This was also an opportunity to make contributions.

“I’m willing to go and share the Emperor’s worries.”

“Go, but it won’t be easy to come back in after leaving the palace. You can discuss it with Gu Chengrui. If it’s confirmed to be smallpox, submit a detailed memorial to me as soon as possible..”
