The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

The two returned to Tingxueju, and Xie Zhichan was wondering what kind of surprise Pei Yi had prepared.

When I entered the room, I saw red candles lighting the warm tent, mandarin ducks embracing each other, and the air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood.

The decoration of the bridal chamber was exactly the same as when they first got married, even the red dates and peanuts on the bed were present.

She walked up to Pei Yi, put her arms around his neck and said with a smile, "I'm so well prepared, I wonder if the prince is willing to take a bath with me?"

Then he pulled Pei Yi towards the bathroom.

Just at this moment, Dan Feng came hurriedly and said that there was an urgent letter from Ye Guici.

It is said that after Ye Guici said he was going to look for his master, he disappeared. Now he suddenly sent a letter back, but no one knew what it said.

Anyway, Pei Yi's health has recovered, so there is no need to rush to write Ye Guici's letter.

He originally wanted to ask Dan Feng to wait for a while, keep the letter and read it the next day.

But at this moment, another servant came to say that someone had come to the palace and summoned Pei Yi to enter.

Mai Sui reported back at the door: "The eunuch from the palace seems to be in a hurry. He keeps pacing back and forth at the door and stamping his feet."

Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi looked at each other at the bathroom door, both with gloomy faces, knowing that there was no hope tonight, and then suddenly they both laughed.

Pei Yi said: "Don't wait for me, I'm afraid I'll be back very late at night."

The two had to put the matter of consummating their marriage aside for the time being.

Pei Yi changed into clean clothes and went into the palace.

After Pei Yi left, Xie Zhichan saw that it was still early, so he opened the letter sent back by Ye Guici.

The letter said that in order to find a master, he first went to Lingnan, where there were many strange diseases. He cured many strange diseases in various places and was preparing to leave Lingnan to visit other places.

Unexpectedly, a new strange disease broke out in Lingnan. People infected with this disease would grow something like snake scales on their bodies, and then have a high fever that would not subside for three days. After the fever subsided, the skin would begin to ulcerate. Gradually, the people could not even eat, and their bodies began to deteriorate. Now many people have been infected with this strange disease.

There was also a picture attached to the letter, which showed the appearance of snake scales growing on the body of a person infected with the disease.

Xie Zhichan looked at the snake scales carefully for a long time. He had no impression of having seen such a disease before. He thought it must be a newly emerging infectious disease. He was afraid he would have to go there in person.

She was well aware of Ye Guici's medical skills, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was the best in Dajin. If even he couldn't cure a disease, it was either a terminal illness or a disease that could only be cured with the assistance of modern medical technology.

She pondered for a while in the room, wondering how to tell Pei Yi that she was going to Lingnan.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yi also mentioned this matter when he returned from the palace, saying that the court had received an urgent call for help from Lingnan. There was a strange disease in Lingnan, and the court was asked to send imperial doctors and medicinal materials.

The palace sent Qin Xu, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and three imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to Lingnan.

It would take time to collect medicinal materials from the public, so Xie Zhichan first asked people to purchase half of the medicinal materials from each medicine shop in Kyoto, and then quietly put them all into the space.

Her space is not infinite. It is about the size of a medical room and can hold a limited amount of medicinal materials.

So he and Pei Yi, along with their entourage Dan Feng and Yue Yan, traveled lightly and headed to Lingnan first to find out the situation.

Let Qin Xu and others bring the medicinal materials later.

Xie Zhichan, Pei Yi and others arrived in Lingnan and just walked into a small village that was said to be infected with a strange disease.

Then everyone in the village gathered together to have fun, and Pei Yi winked at Dan Feng.

Dan Feng stopped a middle-aged woman from the village and asked, "Excuse me, sister-in-law, where are you going?"

The middle-aged woman looked at the way the men were dressed and saw that they all wore masks on their faces, which was quite strange. Their clothes and appearance did not look like those of people from this village. She said, "We have caught a snake demon in our village and are going to burn it! Everyone come and see if the snake demon will be burned to its original form."

Having said that, he left again.

After Dan Feng finished asking the question, he scratched his head and said to Pei Yi, "Master, this sister-in-law is talking nonsense. How can there be a snake demon in the world?"

Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi looked at each other and felt that there must be something strange.

The four of them then followed the direction of the woman.

I walked to where the crowd was gathering, and saw an ugly, white-haired old woman tied to a wooden stake with a pile of firewood under her feet.

This is not about burning a snake demon, this is clearly about burning a mother-in-law to death alive!

Xie Zhichan asked one of the villagers: "How can we be sure that she is a snake demon?"

The villager pointed at the ugly old woman and said, "She often plays with a bunch of snakes. She even keeps several snakes downstairs at home. All the snakes listen to her. If she is not a snake demon, what is she? The snake scale disease in the village was brought by her."

Another villager also said angrily: "Yes! It was she who poisoned the village. That's why snake scales grow on everyone's body. If too many of them grow, people will die. Burn her and the disease will be eradicated!"

Just as the village chief was about to light the fire, Xie Zhichan hurriedly shouted, "Stop—"

She couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so she could only explain to everyone: "This person is not a snake demon at all. The reason why you have snake scales on your bodies is because you are all sick. This is not snake venom, but a contagious disease. Even if you burn this woman, your illness will not be cured."

The village chief holding the torch frowned and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you in the same group with this snake demon?"

Pei Yi stepped forward, holding up his identity jade card, and said, "I am Pei Yi, the Crown Prince of Yan, and this is my Crown Prince's Consort. She is also a doctor, and what she said is true."

The crowd suddenly became restless.

"We don't believe your lies, burn this snake demon to death!"

"Burn her and our illness will be cured!"

As they were shouting, someone in the crowd suddenly fainted on the ground.

Xia Zhichan walked up to the man and took his pulse. Seeing that his hands were covered with snake scales, she thought he was terminally ill, and the man fainted.

But after taking his pulse, we found out that he also suffered from diabetes and fainted only because of hypoglycemia.

It's a blessing in disguise——

After she stood up, she said to the people in the crowd, "If anyone has sugar, bring a bowl of sugar water to this person. After drinking it, he will wake up."

Seeing that no one in the crowd responded, Xie Zhichan remembered that white sugar was also a rare commodity in this era.

He casually reached into his sleeve, took out a tube of glucose from the space, opened the lid, lifted the patient's chin, and squeezed the glucose water into his mouth.

He laid the man flat on the ground, and after a while, he woke up.

When everyone saw this miraculous scene, they all thought Xie Zhichan was a Bodhisattva who had descended, and they all knelt down and begged, "Female Bodhisattva, please save us."

Xie Zhichan felt bad when he saw the villagers kneeling on the ground. They were all suffering from diseases, so they would treat a capable doctor as a Bodhisattva.

Perhaps for them, believing in Bodhisattva is more effective than believing in the imperial court.

Xie Zhichan did not say it clearly. She did not know enough about the disease and was not sure whether it could be treated.

The villagers' blind worship of her is actually a good thing at the moment, as it can calm the villagers' resentment as soon as possible and rescue the people.

She said to the villagers, "Since you want me to save your life, but you have so many people, and I only have a few of you. We are short of manpower and need help. Why don't you let the ugly woman go to me? Even if she is really guilty, let her work for me to atone for her sins, okay?"

The villagers were as quiet as chickens.

Xie Zhichan added: "Don't worry, even if she is a snake demon, I have a way to deal with her."

After hearing this, everyone became more convinced that Xie Zhichan was a female Bodhisattva.

The village chief then ordered his men to let the ugly old woman down and bring her to Xie Zhichan.

When the ugly old woman saw Xie Zhichan, she was stunned after just one look at her. It was unknown whether it was because she had never seen such a beautiful girl or for some other reason.

The villager who pushed her over pushed her back and said, "Don't be rude to the Bodhisattva. We let you go because the Bodhisattva spoke for you. Why don't you thank the Bodhisattva for saving your life?"

After hearing this, the ugly old woman bowed to Xie Zhichan and said, "Thank you, the female bodhisattva, for saving my life. If you have no place to stay in the village, there is no one at my house, and there are many empty rooms. You can stay at my house for a few days."

The villagers nearby immediately complained: "Your house is full of snakes. How dare the female Bodhisattva live in your house?"

The ugly old woman said, "I raised those snakes. They are not poisonous and do not bite people. If the Bodhisattva is afraid, I will let them go to the back mountain to play for a few days. I will let them come back after the Bodhisattva leaves."

Xie Zhichan only felt that the ugly old woman looked at her in a very strange way, as if she knew her.

What was even more strange was that she had some unwarranted sense of closeness to this ugly woman. She intuitively felt that this woman would not harm her. Anyway, they could not leave the village for the time being and had no place to live, so they might as well stay at this ugly woman's house for one night.
