Liu Tianshun took his apprentice to the epidemic area the next day, and several imperial physicians from the Qin Langzhong Imperial Hospital also followed. Among them, they included the leader of the Imperial Physician Sun.

As expected, the epidemic broke out in several places in the capital. If Zhu Cixuan had not responded quickly and prevented the epidemic in time, the capital would have been rampant at this time.

But even though Zhu Cixuan adopted some prevention and control measures, he still couldn't stop the spread of the epidemic. He only delayed the spread of the plague. If he wanted to completely resolve the plague, he had to rely on these doctors.

Qin Langzhong felt the same as Doctor Sun of the Imperial Hospital, that these patients had obvious symptoms. However, according to the doctors' judgment, the patients after the medication had different reactions.

Among them, one in five patients improved after taking the medicine. Two in five patients became more and more serious after taking the medicine. Some patients had no effect on any medication.

This made everyone puzzled what was going on? Could it be that the plague this time has mutated, which is different from the ancient books and the clinical experience of everyone?

A sick person coughed violently, and there were many such cases. The only thing Doctor Sun and others could do was prescribe some medicines to relieve cough and reduce phlegm.

Liu Tianshun saw the problem. After treating several of the patients, he ordered his apprentices: "Defu, bring the needle."

The apprentice Defu hurriedly took out the silver needle bag, Liu Tianshun took out the silver needle, quenched and disinfected under the candlelight, and gave the patient a few needles, and then the patient's cough miraculously relieved a lot.

Liu Tianshun’s technique of using needles was not special. Doctor Sun and others were not surprised. Because they had also used it before, the patients could only get a brief relief.

Applying acupuncture is a physical therapy, which can only relieve but not cure it. Unless you can find a cure medicine.

"Defu, take the paper and pen, I'll prescribe."

The apprentice handed over the paper and pen. Liu Tianshun prescribed the prescription on the paper and handed it to Defu. But before Defu finished reading it, Doctor Sun, who was standing beside him, hurriedly took the prescription from him.

Defu was shocked. After seeing the prescription, Doctor Sun frowned. He saw that the medicine prescribed on the prescription was exactly the same as the medicine he prescribed to the patients.

In other words, the prescriptions prescribed by Liu Tianshun and the imperial physicians were the same. This made Doctor Sun sigh secretly, Liu Tianshun was just like this.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Tianshun prescribed this prescription, he wrote a prescription on another piece of paper and handed it to his apprentice: "Remember, decoct the two medicines separately. When giving them to the patients, take the first prescription first, and after an hour, then give them the second prescription."

This time, Doctor Sun did not snatch the prescription from Defu, but took the prescription directly from Liu Tianshun.

Originally, doctors are afraid of their colleagues looking at their prescriptions. However, when the plague is rampant, the group of doctors join forces to find out how to control the plague as soon as possible. At this time, there is no need to hide their prescriptions, but to take them out and study them together.

When Doctor Sun saw Liu Tianshun's second prescription, his face changed drastically. His hands also trembled slightly.

After reading the prescription, Doctor Sun suddenly understood. He looked at Liu Tianshun with shock: "This..."

Liu Tianshun nodded: "Yes, this is the reason why this plague is difficult to control."

The two of them were as if they were having a puzzle, and everyone was anxious to hear it. Langzhong Qin couldn't wait, and snatched the prescription and then he understood.

Other imperial physicians circulated one after another, and some people still found it difficult to understand: "This is clearly two completely different prescriptions. How can it be used on the same person?"

Doctor Sun sighed: "Dr. Liu is worthy of being a miracle doctor, and he is indeed well-known. Don't you understand that these patients may not be the same kind of plague."

Now everyone understands that the plague that is prevalent in the capital is not a type of plague. In other words, it is a common epidemic of several different symptoms.

Some people do not get one kind of plague, but two types, which is why the prescriptions of imperial physicians are useless.

Some of them suffered from two types of plagues, and the imperial physicians only judged one, so the patients did not improve much after taking the medicine, but instead became more and more serious.

Some are directly caused by the incorrect medicine. After all, although plagues are different, some plague symptoms are quite similar. If there is a slight error, it is easy to make mistakes in judgment.

After finding out the cause of the disease, Doctor Sun was overjoyed: "Hurry, report to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

After finding a treatment method, it was much easier to treat the plague. All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital took action to treat the diseased patients. Separate the sick patients and apply different drugs according to the symptoms.

Liu Tianshun discovered different symptoms of the plague. As a junior brother, Qin Langzhong was very impressed. The senior brother was really much worse than himself, but Qin Langzhong was not a vegetarian after all.

Later, during the treatment process, some imperial physicians inevitably had misjudgments. Because the symptoms were too similar, Qin Langzhong discovered something strange from it.

That is, patients with two types of plagues are most likely to cough up blood. This time, there are two types of plagues, one is milder, and the other is extremely violent and extremely severe.

However, patients with the two plagues combined were almost difficult to rescue before. Qin Langzhong discovered that people who suffered from two plagues at the same time would cough up blood and have red rashes on their backs. Therefore, these two conditions were used as the diagnostic criteria for the imperial physicians.

For a time, the patients' symptoms were greatly relieved after they received the prescription for the imperial physicians to re-prescribe.

This means that Liu Tianshun’s method is correct. A month later, the epidemic in Beijing was finally completely curbed.

The cure rate of those sick patients actually reached an astonishing 70%.

In other words, seven of the ten patients were pulled back from the gates of hell by the imperial physicians. Some people may think that the cure rate is too low, but in fact, it is already a miracle.

You know, it is already very powerful to cure plague before, and it is already very difficult to save two or three out of ten. Half of what can be done is a miracle.

This time, after the patients received the drugs prepared by the Imperial Hospital again, they miraculously reached six or seven out of ten.

More importantly, there are no more patients in Beijing. It is correct to have strict bans on the whole city and spray lime. In Beijing, the plague is basically extinguished.

From one month ago, hundreds of patients increased by one day, and dozens of patients increased by one day half a month ago. Then for three consecutive days, there was no more plague patient in Beijing.

Moreover, the patient's symptoms are getting worse and worse, because once there are symptoms, they will be treated as soon as possible. Many streets in Beijing have begun to lift martial law.

The palace hall was even more jubilant.
