The pandemic situation in the Two Lakes Region was continuously sent by Zhao Minghua to Chun Nuan.
"Indeed, there’s been significant improvent. Send this prescription there as well."
Along with Zhao Minghua’s delivery were not only prescriptions but also dicinal herbs.
Whatever dicinal herbs Chun Ning needed, Zhao Minghua would send them.
Thus, Xiao Chunning, trapped in the epidemic area, deeply felt the love from her sister.
"Lord Xiao, your prescription is indeed accurate, truly accurate."
Doctor Lin and Doctor Fang, after being infected by the pandemic, knew well the ruthlessness of the disease. They had thought they would be buried in the Two Lakes Region.
Being imperial physicians, they were helpless themselves, finding it both sad and laughable.
They had inherited dical skills passed down from generations, yet as imperial physicians, they couldn’t cure their own illness.
It indeed fulfilled the saying that physicians cannot heal themselves.
Yet who would have thought that such a young Xiao Chunning would venture into the epidemic and soon see that the pandemic resulted from two conditions, using different prescriptions and brewing dicine for everyone to drink.
They also drank; whether the dicine was appropriate naturally beca apparent after drinking it twice.
The next day, both clearly felt their heads no longer dizzy and regained a bit of vitality.
Delighted in their hearts, they drank the dicinal brew more eagerly.
By the third day, Doctor Lin and Doctor Fang, who had been bedridden, were able to get up and move.
"Lord Xiao, you truly are our savior."
In fact, prior to this, they held so disdain for Xiao Chunnuan, who had established Chunshan Won’s dical College by the Empress Dowager’s decree, thinking she was rely pretending to deceive the nobles and dignitaries in the court.
Now, seeing Xiao Chunning’s skill, they realized: Doctor Xiao’s reputation from the past wasn’t empty; she indeed had power!
"Doctor Lin, Doctor Fang, though getting out of bed to move is a good thing, you shouldn’t overexert yourself and still need plenty of rest."
Sister’s prescription naturally proved effective, but these two were of an age, so it’s not good to rush things.
"I was thinking of getting up sooner to help share so of Doctor Xiao’s burdens."
"Appreciate the help from the two doctors, but you need to recover first."
"We will definitely recover."
It’s great to feel that death outside wasn’t imminent!
As it is said, falling leaves return to their roots; dying here at Two Lakes wouldn’t only lack glory but make them a laughingstock, for those ignorant old folks would only say their dical skills were lacking, never knowing the true dangers here.
Zhao Minglang received a letter from his brother, Zhao Minghua, and knew that a good prescription and more herbs had been sent; truly beyond grateful.
Following this, the Emperor’s delivery of food and herbs ca.
"Brother Xiao, I’m now extrely confident we can overco this disaster."
"Certainly." The two were a few ters apart: "With the Emperor’s and sister’s support, we will surely prevail."
It was no exaggeration to say they’ve never fought a war so affluent.
Truly had everything they needed, and the people’s sentints were unified.
Having received the court’s delivery of food and dicinal supplies, Zhao Minglang naturally had to return the morial and report the situation in the Two Lakes Region.
Yet, what Zhao Minglang never expected was the Emperor issuing a decree appointing him as the Governor of Two Lakes.
The Lord Xia, who had taken over the house of Governor Sun, originally hoping to sit in the governor’s position, ended up with Zhao Minglang falling from the sky.
He felt seriously repressed, as if he made clothes for others to wear.
He was also dissatisfied with Zhao Minglang.
Just a young man half his age, what can he do? What will he do?
Upon receiving the decree, Zhao Minglang also had the sa thought: What can he do here, what will he accomplish?
"Thank you, Emperor, for your great grace."
Indeed, it was right to thank for the grace, knowing that previously he was rely a sixth-rank official, yet coming to Two Lakes for disaster relief, he suddenly beca governor, ascending to second rank, promoted four levels, such great fortune.
"Mr. Zhao, take the decree." Eunuch Zhong congratulated: "Mr. Zhao, the Emperor asks our house to tell Mr. Zhao that the Two Lakes Region is entrusted to Zhao Aiqing, hoping Aiqing won’t let the Emperor’s hopes down, to revive this disaster area."
"I accept the decree."
Zhao Minglang inquired about Xiao Chunning’s situation.
"The Emperor said Lord Xiao has inherited dical skills. When the pandemic in Two Lakes is resolved, he will be reused."
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhong."
Zhao Minglang felt a bit embarrassed.
What’s said to be brothers sharing blessings and trials, turns out, unexpectedly, he was directly promoted to second-rank official, while Xiao Chunning still had to remain in the epidemic area treating the sick, with an uncertain future.
Yet the decree for Xiao Chunning was just one sentence.
Still, it was Zhao Minglang who should relay it.
"Brother Xiao, this matter..."
It’s truly not what he wished; he had hoped to fight alongside Xiao Chunning, sharing advancent and retreat.
Who knew it would turn out like this?
Indeed, in the entire disaster relief process, especially regarding the pandemic, Xiao Chunning exerted significant effort, contributing greatly.
Yet the good fortune fell upon him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao."
Xiao Chunning, though distanced, still perford a bow of congratulations.
This made Zhao Minglang feel even more embarrassed.
"Originally, this should have been Brother Xiao’s credit..."
"Mr. Zhao is too modest; the Emperor is wise. Chun Ning learned a lot from Brother Zhao, and Mr. Zhao is fitting to hold the position of Two Lakes Governor."
Xiao Chunning’s blessing was sincere. He believed having Zhao Minglang in the Two Lakes Region offers more hope for post-disaster reconstruction.
After all, both of them are people who work wholeheartedly, having co to the disaster area with the people’s needs in mind, crafting many beneficial policies which are currently vigorously being implented.
If soone is changed rashly, these asures and facilities might be halted at any mont.
The previous efforts made, winning the people’s trust and support, would instantly co to naught.
Therefore, Xiao Chunning felt the Emperor was wise, truly.
As for Zhao Minglang being promoted four levels, Xiao Chunning didn’t harbor any envy or jealousy.
"Good brother!"
Zhao Minglang felt ashad for letting a fleeting thought arise.
"Good brother, when you get out, we brothers will definitely drink and celebrate, not leaving until drunk."
"It’s a promise."
Xiao Chunning being able to erge from the pandemic would an having completely defeated the plague, undeniable cause for celebration.
Just after Zhao Minglang left, Xiao Chunning received the new prescription sent from the Capital.
"Sister is truly remarkable."
Having told sister about so symptoms of the pandemic’s new stage, he quickly received a reply, adjusting two dicines.
Moreover, sister also sent new dicinal herbs, relieving his worries.
With sister’s full support, Xiao Chunning felt he could get out soon enough.
In the Capital, at Zhao Mansion, Qiu Yan was stunned to hear her mother’s words.
"Mother, is what you said true?"
"Your father said it personally, how could it be false?" Mrs. Qiu looked at her daughter, laughing: "They all say that foolish people have foolish fortune, unexpectedly your stubbornness back then also yielded great fortune."
In the blink of an eye, her son-in-law beca a second-rank official; isn’t that fortune?
