The Emperor looked at the remaining four Imperial Physicians and said, "Send a message to your families. Do not leave the palace unless there is something important.".
"Yes." The four responded and turned around to return to the Imperial Academy of Medicine.

"Greetings. You're here to confirm the condition, right? Follow me." After Gu Chengrui finished greeting him, he brought him to the hospital.
He walked to a side courtyard and said, "There's a family of three inside. They're all infected with smallpox. Be careful when you go in."
"Alright." Principal Zhou nodded and walked in.
He saw the people guarding outside, the lime powder scattered on the ground, and the choking smell of disinfectant in the space.
