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

Qin Baiwei was standing in the team of several imperial doctors. She was very happy to see Pei Yi. She walked up to him and smiled faintly: "Brother Yi, I heard from my father that there was an epidemic in Lingnan, so I followed my father here, hoping to help you."

Pei Yi frowned almost imperceptibly, then nodded calmly, as if he was just doing his job.

Qin Baiwei didn't want to look too bad in front of so many people, so after greeting Pei Yi, she went back to stand next to her father.

Lu Xiuzhu was only the person in charge of escorting medicinal materials. His official position did not actually require this mission, but he applied for this mission himself to the emperor. The officials in the court who were suitable for this mission knew that an epidemic had occurred in Lingnan and were unwilling to come, so Emperor Jingde agreed to Lu Xiuzhu's request.

After the medicinal materials were delivered to Pei Yi, Lu Xiuzhu entered the government office gate and asked some people in the office about Xie Zhichan's location.

When they found Xie Zhichan, they saw her buried in a pile of pathology logs. Just like when she was in the Zhongshu Ling's office, she only glanced quickly from top to bottom at the papers in her hand, then quickly sorted them into categories and put them into the corresponding stack.

Seeing that she looked tired, Lu Xiuzhu thought that she must be exhausted after coming to Lingnan. He wanted to help her, so he walked up to her and said, "Ayuan, tell me how to classify. I will help you."

When Xie Zhichan looked up, she saw Lu Xiuzhu standing in front of her. She was curious for a moment, wondering how he came to Lingnan. Just as she was about to answer him, she heard Pei Yi's voice behind her.

"I'll go and advise Lord Lu not to help recklessly, lest the more he helps, the more trouble he makes."

Xie Zhichan looked up, glared at Pei Yi coquettishly, and said to Lu Xiuzhu: "I want to classify these pathology logs according to the different stages of disease development. I am afraid that there is no way to let Lord Lu master this skill in a short time."

Pei Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Xiuzhu with some pride, and said, "Did Lord Lu hear that? Lord Lu, you are exhausted from the long journey, you should go and rest first. But Pei would like to kindly advise that this is an epidemic area, Lord Lu, you have completed the escort mission, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible, there is always the risk of contracting the disease if you stay here."

Lu Xiuzhu pursed his lips and said to Xie Zhichan, "In that case, I'll go somewhere else to see if I can help. Ah Yuan, call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he ignored Pei Yi's words and walked out.

After Lu Xiuzhu left, Xie Zhichan looked at Pei Yi and said, "Can you not be so hostile every time you talk to him? He didn't do anything to me.

Pei Yi looked at Xie Zhichan and asked, "He followed me all the way to Lingnan like a dog-skin plaster, and you're not moved at all?"

Xie Zhichan recalled a famous saying from the future reality, and said casually: "Late love is cheaper than grass."

Pei Yi agreed with this very much and said unhappily: "You are obviously married, but he always likes to get close to you. He is either an adulterer or a thief. You'd better be careful of him."

Xie Zhichan knew Pei Yi's temper, so he didn't continue to dwell on the topic of Lu Xiuzhu. He said, "Don't talk about him. Qin Baiwei is here too. Don't just tell me to be careful. I want you to be careful of her."

Pei Yi suddenly became happy again and said to Xie Zhichan, "Even if you didn't remind me, I would know to be careful with her. Ah Yuan, can we say that we are in sync?"

Xie Zhichan ignored Pei Yi's shamelessness, looked at the pile of pathology logs in front of him, and said to Pei Yi: "Stop talking nonsense, come and help."

During these days, Pei Yi stayed with her all day long. He asked questions when he didn't understand something. He was smart and learned quickly. He learned a lot more about the disease and it was no problem for him to help organize the pathology log.

However, they didn't know that Lu Xiuzhu didn't go far. The two people who were talking in the room were paying attention to each other and didn't pay close attention to the footsteps outside the door. Their conversation was heard by Lu Xiuzhu outside the window.

Lu Xiuzhu clenched his fists tightly, and when he looked up, he saw an old woman with scars all over her face standing under the eaves, staring at him warily.

He was startled, but when he saw the ugly old woman holding a tray with a bowl of soup on it, he calmed down when he thought that she must be the old woman who served in the government office.

When the mother-in-law came in with the soup, she tilted her head to glance at him, which made him quite puzzled.

What he didn't know was that all his expressions were seen by the ugly old woman. The ugly old woman saw at a glance what Lu Xiuzhu was thinking about Xie Zhichan, so she looked at him for a longer time.

After the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived, some doctors came from other prefectures, and Ye Guici was among them.

He was originally researching this epidemic in a village under Lingnan. When he heard that Pei Yi had come to Lingnan, he wanted to come to the Lingnan city to take a look. However, the people in the village were worried that no one would treat him after he left, so they locked him up. He managed to escape with great difficulty.

When he arrived at the Lingnan government office, he saw that Pei Yi had fully recovered. He also learned that Pei Yi's princess was his master. He wished he could poke out his own eyes. He had doubted his master's age at first, but he never expected that it would be a girl under 20 years old. His admiration for Xie Zhichan became even more blind. Whenever he had time, he wanted to grab Xie Zhichan to discuss his condition.

Fortunately, everyone was very busy and Xie Zhichan had almost no free time.

After the ladies in Lingnan Prefecture had enough hands, Xie Zhichang and Pei Yi distributed some doctors and medicinal materials to the subordinate counties and villages, and copied the pathology logs of these places and brought them back to the government office every few days.

This busy process lasted for another ten days. Although the disease was under better control, a prescription that could cure the epidemic had not been developed, and people were still dying every day.

Some poor families had just seen off a relative, and ten days later they saw off another one.

Moreover, the government office issued a notice that because people who died of the plague had infectious viruses on their bodies, their bodies had to be burned before being buried. In the eyes of the people, this was almost the same as grinding their bones and scattering their ashes.

As people's minds were tortured like this day after day, their hearts gradually became unstable, and more and more people were thinking of various ways to escape from the city.

Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi both realized the change in the situation. Xie Zhichan spent more and more time buried in the pathology log. For many days, the candles in her room burned until dawn.

That night, Lu Xiuzhu came to Xie Zhichan's place and heard Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan talking. He didn't plan to go in. He just wanted to stand outside the door for a while, listen to her talking, and then leave.

After standing there for a while, I saw the ugly old woman with scars all over her face coming towards me, with a look of hesitation on her face.

He stayed here for a few days and saw that the ugly old woman was very caring towards Xie Zhichan. Although he felt strange, he also felt a little closer to her. Seeing her hesitate, he stepped forward and asked, "Grandma, is there anything you want to see Ayuan about?"

The ugly old woman looked at Lu Xiuzhu knowingly, not looking like a servant at all. She asked Lu Xiuzhu, "What are you doing standing here?" Her tone made Lu Xiuzhu feel a little uncomfortable.

He replied, "The prince is talking to the princess inside."

The ugly old woman snorted and muttered, "What are you bothering Ayuan with again--" Her tone seemed to show that she was dissatisfied with Pei Yi.

Lu Xiuzhu had a strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that this mother-in-law was very dissatisfied with the men around Ayuan?

He asked again tentatively: "What does Grandma want to see Ayuan about?"

The ugly old woman glanced at Lu Xiuzhu without answering him. After hesitating for a long time, she took out a small square made of paper from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Lu Xiuzhu, saying, "Give this to the Crown Princess. Don't tell her that it was given to you by me." After that, she left in a hurry, as if she was afraid that she would regret it.

Lu Xiuzhu just felt that this ugly old woman was a little bit weird, and he didn't know what she gave to A Yuan. He was worried that she would do something bad to A Yuan, so he couldn't help but open it and take a look out of curiosity, and his eyes widened instantly.

There was a prescription written on it, which contained several common medicinal herbs that he was familiar with. There was a pattern on it, which was an arm with snake scales, which was exactly the symptom of the people suffering from the epidemic. At the end of the prescription was written the three words "curable".

This is actually the prescription that can cure this epidemic? !

Lu Xiuzhu looked thoughtfully at the direction where the ugly old lady left, and suddenly an idea came to his mind -
