After speaking, Song Ling'er signaled the coachman to continue moving forward. The second prince saw this and did not stop him. He just raised a meaningful smile on his lips and watched Song Ling'er's carriage gradually disappear into the night.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Song Ling'er didn't take the second prince's actions to heart. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to researching the queen's condition and finding a specific prescription to deal with the plague.

Now Song Linger feels that what Tan Zhixu said before is right.

If it is really a plague, then if I solve it, wouldn't I be able to become a benefactor to the emperor and the queen?

Just thinking about it made Song Linger feel happy.

Song Ling'er began to read ancient books and study prescriptions day and night in the brightly lit study room of the Hou Mansion, trying to find a way to treat the queen and curb the spread of the plague.

However, despite racking her brains, she was never able to make a breakthrough. At this moment, the plague epidemic in the palace suddenly intensified. Many maids, guards and even concubines fell ill one after another. The queen's condition took a turn for the worse and she fell into a coma.

When the news reached the Hou Mansion, it was like a bolt from the blue. The emperor was furious when he heard the news, thinking that the medicinal materials presented by Song Ling'er were ineffective, and even suspected that there was fraud.

He ordered the Song family to be severely punished and made the entire Hou family pay the price.

Song Ling'er was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment, and felt that the blood in her heart instantly turned to ice.

Just when everyone in the Hou Mansion was panicking and at a loss, Tan Zhixu stood up again.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Tan Zhixu said in a calm and powerful voice above the court, "I have studied medicine since childhood and have some understanding of this plague. I am willing to guarantee it with my life. If the epidemic cannot be effectively controlled within ten days, I am willing to Accept any punishment."

The emperor stared at Tan Zhixu's firm eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed to her request.

When Tan Zhixu returned to the Hou Mansion, he immediately found the old lady and said bluntly: "Old Madam, the situation is urgent now. I can only do my best to save the queen and keep the Hou Mansion safe. But I have a condition. If I can succeed, I hope the Marquis Mansion can support me in promoting the reform of medical clinics and introducing more good folk doctors into the palace so that more people can benefit."

The old lady looked at Tan Zhixu's resolute eyes and knew in her heart that the survival of the Hou Mansion was now at stake, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Song Ling'er stood aside with mixed feelings in her heart. She was grateful to Tan Zhixu for stepping forward at this critical moment, but she also felt regretful for her previous rashness and negligence.

"Second sister-in-law, I will definitely help you this time." Song Ling'er clenched her fists with firm eyes, "We must get through this difficulty together, not only for the sake of the Hou Mansion, but also for the sake of the Queen and the people of the capital."

Tan Zhixu was not sure whether Song Ling'er was sincere or fake, but no matter what it was, it was always good to have more than one person helping.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun filled the capital, and there was a tense and busy atmosphere inside and outside the palace.

Tan Zhixu led several doctors with superb medical skills to develop antidotes day and night in a temporary medical clinic.

Based on ancient book records, combined with modern medical concepts, and repeated experiments, they finally formulated a unique prescription for the plague after several sleepless nights.

First, they tried it on the palace ladies who were less sick in the harem. After several days of observation, the symptoms of these palace ladies were significantly relieved, their body temperature gradually returned to normal, and their physical strength gradually recovered.

This good news quickly spread inside and outside the palace like a spring breeze. After hearing this, the emperor, although still worried, saw a glimmer of hope.

Five days later, the queen woke up leisurely in the peaceful morning light. She opened her eyes weakly, and at the first sight she saw Tan Zhixu waiting beside the bed.

Her weak but firm voice sounded in the bedroom: "Did you save me, Tan Zhixu?"

Tanzhi Xu Geng saluted and replied calmly and firmly: "The Queen is the result of the joint efforts of many doctors, and I am just one of them. Now that the antidote has begun to show results, as long as the treatment is carried out step by step, I believe that the Queen and all of you will The conditions of the concubines and palace servants will gradually improve."

After the queen heard this, a gratified smile appeared on her pale face. She weakly raised her hand and motioned to the maid beside her to help her sit up. Then she said gently to Tan Zhixu: "You did a good job. I want to see you." Meet the doctors who participated in the development of the antidote, they are all national treasures and should be rewarded."

At the same time, Song Ling'er was heartbroken when she learned the news that the antidote was successful. At the same time, she finally saw clearly that Tan Zhixu was not as simple as she thought.

This time she was considered a complete victory, and she just became a stepping stone for Tan Zhixu.

The queen even praised Tan Zhixu as the pillar of the country.

Song Ling'er quickly came to the medical clinic where Tan Zhixu was located, and saw Tan Zhixu directing everyone to prepare medicine, with a tired but satisfied smile on her face.

"Second sister-in-law, this antidote is indeed miraculous!" Song Ling'er praised sincerely, her words revealing joy and admiration.

Tan Zhixu glanced at her and smiled slightly: "Ling'er, this is not my contribution alone, but the result of everyone's hard work. You also understand now that sometimes, it is difficult to achieve great things by yourself."

Song Ling'er nodded, secretly deciding to work harder to learn medical skills in the future and no longer rely on others easily.

She took the initiative to ask Ying to assist Tan Zhixu in managing the newly acquired medicinal food shop, and expressed that she would take this opportunity to go deep into the folk and learn more about disease treatments.

With the successful development of the antidote to the plague, Tan Zhixu became famous in the capital. Countless patients came here because of his reputation, and there was an endless stream in front of the Hou Mansion.

Faced with such a grand occasion, Tan Zhixu always remained humble. She convened doctors from inside and outside the capital for discussions, shared the antidote formula, advocated the benevolence of doctors, and jointly protected the lives and safety of the people in the capital.

In the process of assisting Tan Zhixu, Song Ling'er became even more jealous of Tan Zhixu.

She didn't want to see Tan Zhixu being liked by so many people, especially the people in the capital, who simply regarded Tan Zhixu as a god.

And the mother even personally took out a shop for Tan Zhixu to use for herbal medicine business.

Song Ling'er originally thought that Tan Zhixu couldn't do it, but she didn't expect that she actually did it.

One month later, the medicated food opened for business and was crowded with customers.

On the first day of opening, all kinds of nourishing medicated meals cooked with medicated meals were sold out. Even before dinner time, they sold out what they didn't have. Many people came here because of it, and Tan Zhixu also wanted them to go out for a while. After the trip, they were given a number plate. After registering, they asked the waiter to record it. They can use the number plate to buy medicinal meals tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun shone through the window into the medicinal food shop, and the shop was already bustling with activity.

The shop assistants are busy and orderly preparing various medicinal materials and ingredients, and the air is filled with the alluring aroma of medicinal herbs and stewed food.

Tan Zhixu personally supervises every process to ensure that every bowl of medicinal food can achieve the desired effect.
