However, just when Lin Yue thought the crisis had been resolved, new problems emerged. Several more servants showed symptoms similar to Afu's, with high - fever coma and a critical condition. Upon learning the news, Lin Yue rushed to the scene immediately. Looking at the suffering servants lying on the beds, she was extremely anxious.
"How could this happen? Could it be that the previous isolation measures were not properly implemented?"
Cuier, standing beside her, turned pale with fright.
"Miss Lin, what should we do?"
Lin Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Cuier, don't be afraid. Let's check the isolation measures again and increase the supply of herbal medicines. We must control the condition as soon as possible."
As she spoke, she started to instruct the servants to strengthen the isolation once more and prepare more herbal medicines simultaneously.
Li Yi also learned of this news and hurried over. Looking at Lin Yue's busy figure, he felt a bit worried.
"Miss Lin, how's the situation?"
Lin Yue looked up at Li Yi.
"Your Highness, several more servants have been infected. I'm trying to find a way to control the condition."
Li Yi slightly frowned.
"Miss Lin, do whatever you need to do. This king will fully support you."
Lin Yue nodded gratefully.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I won't let everyone down."
Lin Yue began to carefully examine the symptoms of each infected servant. She found that this time the condition was more complex than Afu's. These servants not only had high - fever coma but also showed symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, and their bodies were extremely weak. Lin Yue realized that this might not be a simple infectious febrile disease but a new type of illness.
She immediately summoned all the medical officials in the prince's mansion, including Doctor Li, to discuss the treatment plan together. At the meeting, Lin Yue described the servants' symptoms in detail and put forward her opinion.
"I think this illness is different from the previous infectious febrile disease. It might be a new kind of epidemic. We need to re - study the treatment method."
After hearing this, Doctor Li nodded slightly.
"What Miss Lin said is quite right. This illness is indeed rather strange. But where should we start?"
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and then said,
"We can start from the source of infection. First, investigate the recent activity tracks of these servants to see if we can find a common source of infection. At the same time, we need to intensify our research on herbal medicines to find those that can treat this illness."
Everyone present expressed their agreement.
So, Lin Yue led the medical officials to start the intense investigation and research work. They carefully questioned each infected servant about their daily activities, not missing any details. After some investigation, they found that these servants had all worked near an abandoned warehouse in the prince's mansion. Lin Yue immediately led everyone to this abandoned warehouse. The warehouse was dark and damp, filled with a pungent smell.
Lin Yue examined every corner of the warehouse carefully. Finally, in one corner, she found a strange bug. The bug was entirely black with red spots on its body, which was very rare. Lin Yue suspected that this bug was the culprit causing the servants' infection. She took the bug back to the research room and conducted a detailed study.
After several days and nights of research, Lin Yue finally discovered the habits and toxicity of this bug. She found that the bug carried a virus. Once a person was bitten by it, they would be infected with this virus, triggering symptoms such as high - fever coma, vomiting, and diarrhea. Lin Yue told Li Yi and the other medical officials about this discovery.
"We've found the source of infection, a bug carrying a virus. Now we need to find a herbal medicine that can kill this virus."
However, the process of finding the herbal medicine was not smooth. Lin Yue looked through a large number of medical books and tried various combinations of herbal medicines, but she didn't find an effective treatment method. She was in a difficult situation and extremely anxious. But she didn't give up. She knew that time was pressing, and every second of delay put the servants' lives in more danger.
At this critical moment, Li Yi once again gave Lin Yue his support. He mobilized all the forces in the prince's mansion to search everywhere for herbal medicines that could treat this illness. He also sent people to look for famous doctors among the common people, hoping to get their help. Thanks to Li Yi's efforts, a folk famous doctor finally agreed to come to the prince's mansion to assist Lin Yue in treating the servants.
This famous doctor was named Zhang Yihe. He had superb medical skills and unique insights into various difficult and complicated diseases. After arriving at the prince's mansion, he carefully examined the servants' conditions and listened to Lin Yue's research results. After some thought, he proposed a new treatment plan.
"I think we can use a herbal medicine called 'Seven - Star Grass' as the main ingredient, and then combine it with several other herbal medicines to make a medicine. Perhaps it can treat this illness."
After hearing this, Lin Yue's eyes lit up.
"Doctor Zhang, I seem to have seen the 'Seven - Star Grass' in medical books, but this herbal medicine is very rare. How can we find it?"
Zhang Yihe said,
"I know there is this kind of herbal medicine on a mountain outside the city. However, this mountain is very steep, and there are many wild beasts roaming around. Picking it will be very difficult."
Lin Yue didn't hesitate at all.
"Doctor Zhang, no matter how difficult it is, I have to give it a try. As long as I can save these servants, I'm not afraid of anything."
Li Yi looked at Lin Yue's determined eyes and was deeply touched.
"Miss Lin, I'll go with you."
So, Lin Yue, Li Yi, Zhang Yihe, and a group of guards set off on the journey to find the 'Seven - Star Grass'.
