Although Yuanzhou is a remote city, as long as there is population movement, it won’t take long for the epidemic to be brought to other places.

The whole of Da Rui will be affected.

Without delay.

The four famous doctors from Yuanzhou brought by Cui Yingyuan stayed temporarily and worked with Yu Heng to study prescriptions for treating the epidemic.

As patients with the disease, Zhou Huixin and her daughter became subjects of observation.

At the same time, the imperial city of Changjing was not at peace either.

For many days in the city, people suffered from incessant coughing and could not find a cure.

All major medical clinics were overcrowded and people were in panic.

Memorials from court officials were submitted to the emperor one by one, and hundreds of officials in the court expressed their opinions and argued endlessly about the epidemic.

All the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were extremely busy dealing with the epidemic, and their work was as tense as a fully drawn bow.

"Qing'er wrote to me saying that Baixiang Tea can prevent disease. What a pity... If Baixiang Tea could be spread throughout Da Rui, the imperial city wouldn't be in such chaos."

In Fengyi Palace, Emperor Hong Jing was lying on the chaise longue under the flower-patterned window with his eyes closed. The dark circles under his eyes revealed his fatigue.

Cui Jing massaged his head and neck with moderate force, and whispered to the queen, "The emperor has been busy in the imperial study for most of the night these days. He has to review memorials and suppress a group of ministers who curse in the court during the day. He is exhausted."

"I am so tired. A small epidemic has caused a group of court officials to lose their composure. Have they never seen the world? I really wonder how they have climbed to their current positions. Is it all because of flattery?" When this matter was mentioned, Emperor Hong Jing couldn't help but scold his ministers. He was really angry.

The Queen naturally heard about what happened in the court. Seeing the Emperor like this, she felt both distressed and a little amused.

"Are you still angry about what Minister Wei said?"

"If he spoke human language, would I be angry? What he said was totally unreasonable! When all the civil and military officials were present and arguing, he actually asked me for Hundred Prime Ministers Tea! As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone started asking for it! I didn't lose my temper on the spot because my temper has improved in the past six months! It's ridiculous!"

"In the end, they didn't get what they wanted."

"That's not even me!"

The queen couldn't help but let out a laugh, causing Emperor Hong Jing to open his eyes. "Qing'er is already researching a prescription to treat the epidemic. When the prescription comes out, let Yu Heng return to the palace."

The Queen's smile quickly disappeared at this, "Your Majesty? But Qing'er needs a doctor to serve her at all times!"

"Yu Heng has been reporting back in letters regularly, saying that Qing'er's condition has stabilized. With the help of Gu Xing's suppression and Bai Xiangcao's conditioning, his condition is gradually improving. All he needs to do next is to continue recuperating.

Besides, with Divine Doctor Jia here, it would be useless for Yu Heng to continue staying there. On the contrary, Changjing needs Yu Heng more."

Emperor Hong Jing stared at the queen and said in a low voice, "Queen, General Xiao is already terminally ill."

"So Your Majesty, please send the Baixiang Tea in my hand to General Xiao's mansion, and I will say no!"

"I am ashamed of the Xiao family, Queen! The Xiao family is a loyal family. All four of Old Xiao's sons died in battle, and the only daughter was kidnapped by the enemy's spies and is missing! The Xiao family has no descendants! Old Madam Xiao couldn't stand the continuous blows and became crazy! Under such circumstances, Old General Xiao still defended the border for more than 20 years to deter foreign enemies! Now he is old and has nothing left, only a serious illness left by most of his life in the military!"

Realizing that his emotions were getting out of control, Emperor Hong Jing closed his eyes, but he couldn't hide the redness in the corners of his eyes. "How can I ignore such a loyal general? Yu Heng is from the Divine Doctor Valley. His medical skills are the best in the entire Imperial Hospital. Only he is most likely to cure Elder Xiao."

The queen was silent for a long time, with a fierce struggle in her eyes, and finally she said softly, "Okay."

……

Yuxi Village.

Lin family courtyard.

At the end of October, the winter wind arrives and the weather becomes cold.

"Bai Xiang, come here and try on this new jacket. I will alter it if it doesn't fit." Li Sulan was sitting under the eaves of the main hall. She picked up the newly sewn red cotton-padded jacket, shook it, and called her daughter over to try it on.

Bai Xiang looked at her with joy, her eyes lit up, and she showed her little white teeth with joy. She nodded hurriedly before even trying it on, "Mom, it fits, it must fit! The new red dress looks so good!"

Her mother also embroidered flowers on her little jacket, it looks so beautiful!

"The Chinese New Year is just two months away, and red is the most festive color for the New Year." Li Sulan put the jacket on her daughter, rolling up the long sleeves to expose her wrists. "It should be a little bigger, so she can still wear it when she grows taller next year."

Bai Xiang's little head is like a chicken pecking at rice, but she doesn't think it's too big at all! It looks good!

"Mother, I'll wear it and show it to Brother Changqing!"

Jin Duobao followed with Da Huang, shouting with a look of disapproval, "Why are you going? If you want to know if it looks good, just ask me. I have a clothing store at home, I'm good at choosing clothes!"

As the little girl walked towards Yan's house, she turned back and asked seriously, "Brother Duobao, do my new clothes look good?"

“It’s so pretty!”

“Hahaha!” Bai Xiang’s pigtails swayed. “Of course I know it looks good. I just want to hear my friends praise me! Later I have to go to Sister Ya’er’s house, Brother Xiaoniu’s house, and Sister Dani’s house!”

Jin Duobao laughed out loud, "You little conceited kid, hahaha! Da Huang and I will go with you!"

In the living room of the Yan family, Lin Jiang and Xu Enhui sat at separate tables, on which was a thick account book.

The abacus makes a clacking sound.

"This month's income and expenditure are all here. The workers have been waiting for a month and have been craning their necks to wait for their wages." Lin Jiang looked at the woman opposite him who was carefully checking the accounts with an abacus and said gratefully, "This is the first time I manage such a large workshop by myself. I am worried that I may not be careful enough, so I have to trouble Miss Xu again."

"No trouble, I'm paid for my work." Xu Enhui smiled, his eyes flashing with cunning, his almond-shaped eyes were very smart, "I'm also worried that you miscalculated my wages, not even a penny less."

Knowing that the woman was joking with him, Lin Jiang couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I dare not pay less."

At the door of the living room, a thin figure was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, glaring inside every time he passed by the door.

"Does it take so long to calculate a small account book? The workshop has no more than a thousand people. Third son of the Lin family, this is all you can do. Why do you need someone to help you calculate the accounts?"

"Don't the Jin family still have two old foxes? If you have any problems in their workshop, you should go to them!"

"Wait, wait, stop laughing! Seriously! Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

The level of nagging is even worse than a turtle chanting sutras.

After Xu Enhui finished calculating a paragraph, he looked outside and said, "Grandfather, Third Brother Lin and I are sitting at a table apart. We are very serious. But you insisted on yelling there. If others hear you, it will make us look dishonest. Are you helping me or making things worse?"

Xu Hanzhang, "...you keep busy, I'm just sitting here doing nothing, I'm just walking around, I'm not going anywhere."

This is strange. Xu Hanzhang is invincible in the court when he curses, but why does he choke every time he comes to his granddaughter?

His most filial granddaughter was even better at talking than his father. He didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

It is certainly a good thing that the disciple is better than the master, but it is not very pleasing that the granddaughter is so good at talking, as if she is specifically targeting him.
