The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

After the three of them returned to their residence, Ouyang Miaoling was in a depressed mood, as if she was shrouded in a dark cloud.

She sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

In order to ensure her safety, Nangong Mingxuan personally deployed defense measures in the yard and guarded her closely.

However, despite her depressed mood, some good news still reached Ouyang Miaoling's ears.

"Princess...Princess...Those people have taken your antidote and are now much better. Some of them can even walk! They are clamoring to see their savior!" Wushang excitedly reported the situation of those people outside the door.

Ouyang Miaoling finally smiled when she heard the news: "Okay... I understand. Go tell them that there is no need to express my gratitude. I will personally check their pulses tomorrow and let them have a good night's rest."

Wushang nodded and prepared to turn around and leave.

Ouyang Miaoling seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, by the way, tell the kitchen to make some delicious food for them so that they can fill their stomachs and have the strength to heal their wounds."

Wushang responded and then left quickly.

Ouyang Miaoling looked at Wushang's departing back and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

She has been through a lot these days, and these injured people are among them.

She hopes she can help more people and make them feel warmth and care.

Just as her thoughts were drifting away, a knock on the door brought her back to reality.

"Ling'er, are you asleep? Can I come in and talk to you?" It was Nangong Mingxuan who knocked on the door. After he finished speaking, there was no response from inside the room.

"Ling'er, don't worry, I won't talk to you about what's happening between us. I just want to talk to you about the people's affairs." Nangong Mingxuan was afraid that Ouyang Miaoling didn't want to see him, so he quickly added.

"I got it. Come in." This time there was finally a voice in the room. Nangong Mingxuan heard the voice and hurriedly pushed the door open, fearing that if he pushed the door too late, the person in the room might change his mind and not want to see him.

"Go ahead," Ouyang Miaoling said in a cold voice.

"Ling'er, I feel that the people who attacked the common people here are the same group of people as the ones who attacked us in the "Valley of Rebirth". We have been their target all the way. They are deliberately delaying time and slowing down our return journey so that we can't get back to save Yi'er." Nangong Mingxuan analyzed.

His brows were furrowed, and there was a determination gleam in his eyes, as if he had found some clues.

Ouyang Miaoling didn't say anything. She lowered her head slightly and thought seriously about Nangong Mingxuan's words.

Her eyes became deep, as if she was building a huge mystery in her mind.

"Also, they harm the people here and allow the virus to spread here. Their purpose may be to weaken the power of Northern Qi. When Northern Qi's national strength weakens, they can attack and invade our Northern Qi in one fell swoop." Nangong Mingxuan continued, his voice revealing a hint of worry and anger.

Ouyang Miaoling raised her head, her gaze fixed into the distance, as if she saw the wars and disasters that might happen in the future.

She bit her lip lightly, a strong sense of determination rising in her heart.

"From their assassination of Yi'er, to preventing us from finding herbs to detoxify Yi'er, to harming the common people here, and using poison to spread it throughout the country, connecting these things together, their intentions are clear at a glance. This is a contest between countries, and someone is deliberately pushing and manipulating everything from behind." Nangong Mingxuan concluded, his tone filled with grief and helplessness.

Ouyang Miaoling nodded, indicating that she agreed with Nangong Mingxuan's opinion.

A determined look appeared on her face, and she said, "That's right, we can't let them succeed. We must find a solution as soon as possible to rescue the people here and protect the safety of Northern Qi."

The two looked at each other and saw the determination and courage in each other's eyes.

They know that the battle has just begun and they will face countless difficulties and challenges.

"Wushang just reported that the antidote has been effective and those people have recovered. I think it's time to gather all the patients together, distribute the antidote, and relieve their pain." Ouyang Miaoling said lightly.

"Okay... I'll have the state government gather people to the worst-hit areas overnight, and we'll distribute the antidote."

"The materials in the space are limited. It is impossible for me to prepare enough special medicine for those people in a short period of time, so I will write down the prescription of the antidote. You can arrange manpower to set up a few large pots in the disaster area, boil the medicine, and then distribute it together." Ouyang Miaoling added.

"Also... you need to send someone to the mountain to fetch some spring water to boil the medicine. The spring water must be sent to me first and tested by me before it can be used. Someone must also be assigned to guard the well water. I can now be 100% sure that there is something wrong with the well water."

"Okay... I'll do whatever you say." Nangong Mingxuan's trust in Ouyang Miaoling was unreserved.

"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, Ling'er, you should have a good rest first. If I need any help from you, I will come to you." Nangong Mingxuan said with concern.

"I won't rest. I want to go to the disaster area with you to check out the situation. And you should ask the guards here to go over and help. Don't let them waste manpower to protect me." Ouyang Miaoling made this decision resolutely.

"Okay." Seeing Ouyang Miaoling's firm attitude, Nangong Mingxuan agreed to let her go with him.

So the quiet courtyard began to get busy under Nangong Mingxuan's instructions.

Soon, the state officials here received Nangong Mingxuan's order and began to flock to the hardest-hit areas.

Ouyang Miaoling packed her luggage and got on the carriage accompanied by Nangong Mingxuan, and started driving towards the worst-hit area.

The hardest-hit area was located in a place called "Qingyuan Town". When Nangong Mingxuan's carriage arrived, the prefect had already been waiting at the gate of the county government with important officials for a long time.

From afar, one could see the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace, surrounded by numerous guards, driving in a low-key and solemn manner towards the county government office.

The carriage was still dozens of meters away from them, but the officials could not wait to kneel down, kowtow and salute to greet them.

"I, along with all the officials, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Regent."

The prefect, Li Lin, was the highest official in Xiangyang City, and "Qingyuan Town" happened to be under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang City.

Therefore, Li Lin personally led the officials to come here to welcome them.

The carriage slowly stopped. Nangong Mingxuan got off first. Then he stretched out his hand and carefully helped Ouyang Miaoling get off the carriage together.

Then he turned around and faced the officials who were kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Please stand up quickly," he said gently.

"Thank you, Regent!" the officials shouted in unison, their voices loud and full of respect and gratitude.
