o enter or leave.""What is the Empress keeping her for so long"Feng Yu Xi gave an order, "Go investigate immediately."Feng Lingxi exited the palace gates, nodding to the maids behind her. She got into..."Be careful then." He had promised Dugu Cheng to take good care of his younger sister. If anything happened to her, he wouldn't be able to explain to Dugu Cheng, nor could he explain to the Lu family. As an older brother, his responsibility was heavy, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

Feng Lingxi responded and went past, checked on the patient, and upon completion, kept it in her heart.

Lu Nian watched Feng Lingxi's every move from afar, his eyes filled with worry.

"Xiaoli, has she always treated patients like this"

"Young Master Lu, the Princess has her own sense of measure. This is because this illness is contagious, so when taking her pulse, we use something to separate it, avoiding direct contact with the skin. Also, we need to maintain a certain distance. We can observe just fine."

Lu Nian listened to the coughs of these patients, her heart trembling. She felt unsafe everywhere and looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes full of worry.

"Are you really okay What if..."

"Master Lu, don't scare yourself. The Princess Consort knows what she's doing."

Xiao Li interrupted Lu Nian's words, looking at his worried eyes. This wasn't a big deal, but it made him so nervous that he was talking himself into a panic.

Lu Nian looked at Feng Aotian beside her, her face full of displeasure.

It's all this bastard's fault. If it weren't for him, my sister wouldn't have to be here.

Feng Lingxi finished checking on the patients in Qīngzhōng and, seeing the critically ill patients in the isolation ward nearby, without a moment's hesitation, walked toward them. However, she quickly caught up to Lù Niàn and stopped him.

"Sister, I won't stop you if you go to either side. But over there, look, these are patients with severe blood spitting conditions or near-death illnesses. If you go there, what if you get infected"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian clutching her arm, and said lightly, "I saw it. I just went to take a look, I wouldn't contact them, you can rest assured."

"I'm not comfortable with this. With so many doctors here, why did you come yourself Just tell me what's wrong and I'll go help you."

Lu Nian refused to let go. He would rather go himself than let Feng Lingxi go, for if she caught a sickness, everyone here would be doomed.

Let go.

Feng Lingxi glared at Lu Nian, seeing that he wouldn't let go. Her eyes were sharp as she stared at him, "If you continue to interfere with me, leave Tumu Town immediately. I don't need you here."

"Sister…"

"Shut up."

Feng Lingxi was truly angry. Lu Nian had already interfered, she hadn't even seen the patient, how could she possibly cure them and find a way to treat their illness

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. This Master Lu is also worried about your safety, he meant well, so please don't blame him."

Lord Liu stepped in to speak for Lu Nian, watching with worry as the siblings argued. He was genuinely afraid they would run off if things escalated any further.

Lu Nian retracted her hand and looked at Feng Lingxi's cold and stern eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.

He was only worried about her safety, but she didn't understand his heart.

"Sorry."

Releasing his hold on Feng Lingxi's hand, Lu Nian's eyes were filled with disappointment as he watched her leave. His heart was a whirlwind of emotions. He wished he hadn't stayed. He had tried to think of everything for her, but now it seemed he was just a burden.

“Young Master Lu, the Crown Princess has always been like this. She dislikes being interfered with too much, especially when it comes to treating illnesses. Don’t take it to heart. In fact, the Crown Princess is just worried that she hasn't figured out the cause of the illness and can't find a way to cure it. This illness came on suddenly and is extremely vicious. It must be treated as quickly as possible.”

Xiao Li comforted, looking at Lu Nian's forlorn eyes, and explained to the princess.

"Saving a person is like putting out a fire, time cannot be wasted, let alone here."

Lu Nian nodded, without making a sound.

"Can you still hear me talking Tell me, where are you feeling uncomfortable now"

Wind Lingxi looked at a young master leaning against the wall corner. She saw him clutching his chest, his face pale and weak, pressing his hand against it as if he had chest pain. His sleeves were stained with blood on both sides, and there was also bloodstains on the right side of the wall behind him. It was obvious that he had coughed up blood once.

That person looked at Feng Lingxi, weakly pointed to his chest, and said in pain, "It hurts."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at his pained expression. "How many times have you vomited blood"

That person trembled and extended a finger. Feng Lingxi nodded, "I'll have someone bring you medicine later, don't worry, keep your mind at ease, I'll save you."

That man glanced at Feng Ling Xi. Although she was masked, he had heard the most beautiful voice in his life. He nodded and tilted his head to lean against her side.

Feng Lingxi asked several more patients, basically all of them had symptoms of chest tightness and coughing up blood, the condition was more serious.

Feng Lingxi returned to their presence, Xiao Li holding a bowl of warm water forward. Feng Lingxi washed her hands, and the group returned to the tent.

"Critically ill patients have more severe coughs, and they experience chest tightness and hemoptysis, but not everyone experiences all of these symptoms. I prescribe them medication and divide it into separate doses for them to take."

After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, she began to write down the prescription, asking Li Su and the doctors to help decoct the medicine. All the medicines were separated, and people brought them to the patients. After Feng Lingxi gave her instructions, she also crushed rehmannia glutinosa, tiger bone, realgar, aconite, rhubarb, soapberry, and shepherd's purse into powder, making pills. She ignited a pill on the bed where the patients were staying, which could prevent the plague.

"Xiaoli, go buy some Sichuan peppercorns to boil water. Disinfect everything with salt water made from Sichuan peppercorns. Be sure to do it properly."

Feng Lingxi, after finishing everything, had already spent a morning. Lu Nian remained silent throughout the whole process, only helping silently and occasionally looking at Feng Lingxi with worry in her eyes.

He was truly worried about this silly little sister of his, afraid she'd catch a disease.

This plague came on with a vengeance, she said her medicinal herbs were all cheap and common ones found everywhere, and I don't know if they're any use at all.

Feng Lingxi then wrote out prescriptions for patients of varying severities in batches, allowing the doctors to help administer them. Every resource that could be used for disinfection in Tu Mu Town was disinfected. By the end of the day, it was clear that manpower was insufficient, and even the constables were too exhausted to speak a word.

"Your Highness, we are short-handed. All the yamen officials here have been busy day and night without a moment's rest. If this continues, even if we don't get sick, we'll be exhausted." Xiao Li handed Feng Lingxi the medicine. This was antiviral water that the Princess had ordered to be given to those helping out here. Although she didn't know how effective it was, at least it reduced the risk.

Feng Lingxi looked up and saw the yamen officers who were too tired to even stand, sitting on the ground to rest. "Let's stop here for today. Give them something to eat and let them rest for a while. Remind them to wash their hands and faces, don't bring dirt back home."

Xiaoli responded, seeing that the Princess was still not showing any signs of resting. Although she was directing everyone in their work, this was a constant state for the Princess. All the medicine was concocted by her, and she hadn't closed her eyes even for a moment.

"You haven't eaten anything all day, this is a roasted chicken I just caught for you over there, it's cooked through, eat some."

Lu Nian came over with something wrapped in a mud ball. Seeing Feng Lingxi so tired, all he could do was prepare her food.d you are now the Saint Lord of the Yao Clan. Congratulations to you!"Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, "Your Majesty overpraises me. This position of Saint Lord of the Yao Clan is just a nominal title, the...
