"Uncle, it's too dangerous here. I value my life, and I can't bear to leave you."

"But if the epidemic is out of control and spreads to the capital, I'm afraid even my grandmother will be affected. I don't want her to suffer. I don't want more people to die."

She raised her head, resting her chin on his chest, her eyes sparkling, "I promise, I will come out in one piece. Grandmother has given her permission, so just pretend you didn't see it, right?"

Jiang Yunxi never mentioned the dispute between him and Jiang Xueyi over this matter.

Zhao Changyu still had a cold look in his eyes, which showed that he would not tolerate any negotiation.

But Jiang Yunxi could vaguely feel that Zhao Changyu's attitude was still a little shaken.

Jiang Yunxi took advantage of Zhao Changyu's inattention, pushed him back, and immediately ran into the isolation area.

Her plan succeeded, and her eyes were full of pride.

Zhao Changyu's eyes were filled with worry. He frowned slightly and said, "Come out!"

Jiang Yunxi said in a relaxed tone, "The rule of only entering and not leaving this quarantine area was set by you, the Emperor's uncle. Are you going to break your own rules?"

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, people and goods are only allowed to enter but not leave the quarantine area.

Jiang Yunxi relied on this point and ran in first no matter what.

Once she entered the quarantine area, Zhao Changyu would have no way of sending her back to the capital.

When Zhen Zhen and Nan Nan saw Jiang Yunxi was about to enter the quarantine area, they also planned to go in.

Jiang Yunxi raised her hand to stop him, "Nannan, go and do what I told you to do before. Don't come in, it's not convenient to go in and out in here."

Nan Nan gritted her teeth, somewhat reluctantly, but still nodded.

She knew that what Jiang Yunxi had ordered was very important.

Jiang Yunxi looked at Zhen Zhen, "Zhen Zhen, don't come in either. Just... cooperate with Nan Nan's actions."

Jiang Yunxi knew that Zhen Zhen was a little timid and was not suitable for staying in the isolation area.

Otherwise, Zhen Zhen would be startled every day, and Jiang Yunxi would have to spend time comforting her.

Zhen Zhen and Nan Nan looked at each other, nodded to each other, and reached an agreement.

Zhen Zhen refused, "No, I want to follow the princess. I can never help with what Nan Nan does."

Nan Nan also nodded, her tone was very firm, "I don't need Zhen Zhen. I'd rather let her stay with the princess, so that I can feel at ease. If the princess doesn't allow it, then I will go in today no matter what."

Jiang Yunxi pursed her lips, speechless for a moment.

She usually dotes on the two girls, but now her words have no deterrent effect in front of them.

"Nannan, I have something else for you to do later. You can't come in under any circumstances."

Jiang Yunxi took a step back.

Jiang Yunxi walked into the isolation area and looked at the rows of stretchers covered with white cloth next to the fire. The smile on her face immediately disappeared.

The light in her eyes immediately turned bleak.

Logically, the bodies and personal belongings of these people should be burned to prevent them from remaining and infecting more people.

The quarantine area was in a mess. I guess no one had counted the names and hometowns of these people.

So, when they died, the government couldn't even notify their families.

Even the government doesn’t know who died.

They turned to dust silently.

A simple medicine house was built at the southeast corner of the isolation area.

The imperial physicians were gathered in the medicine room, discussing prescriptions for treating the epidemic.

"Old Zhang, your prescription is totally ineffective." Doctor Zhuo, whose hair and beard were already gray, was glaring at Doctor Zhang, and he strongly disagreed with the prescription written by Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang, as Doctor Zhuo's apprentice, was respectful to Doctor Zhuo, but he disagreed with Doctor Zhuo's point of view in his heart. "Master, I tested this prescription. This prescription can at least delay the onset of disease for those who have just been infected by the epidemic by three to five days. I think that I should make some modifications based on this prescription."

"Then the disease still occurred, which means this prescription doesn't work at all. We have to research a prescription that can completely cure the plague. Your prescription might be effective if used outside the quarantine area, but what about the people inside the quarantine area? Are you going to leave them to die?"

……

The two people argued for a while and neither of them was willing to give in.

Suddenly, the younger and more perceptive Doctor Song saw Jiang Yunxi, as if he had found a life-saving straw, and stood up and saluted Jiang Yunxi, "My princess, how are you?"

He hoped that Jiang Yunxi could interrupt and stop Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Zhuo from arguing any further.

The imperial doctors were quite surprised to see Jiang Yunxi come in, but they still stood up and saluted her, "Greetings, Princess."

Jiang Yunxi had been weak and sickly since childhood, so Empress Dowager Jiang Xueyi forced the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau to run around to take care of her. They were particularly impressed, and the imperial physicians naturally recognized Jiang Yunxi.

"You're welcome. Yunxi came here to learn from you imperial physicians." Jiang Yunxi simply returned a salute to them.

Doctor Zhang complained in his heart, feeling very unhappy, "What is a princess learning? It's not enough to cause trouble."

Doctor Zhuo smiled and said, "Princess, are you feeling better?"

Jiang Yunxi nodded, "Much better. Doctor Zhuo, you are my elder, so you don't have to use honorifics to address me."

Doctor Zhuo was an old man who had worked in the Imperial Medical Bureau since Jiang Xueyi became the queen. He had helped Jiang Xueyi a lot, and Jiang Yunxi remembered his kindness. Therefore, she also gave him this respect.

"Hahahahahahaha, the princess is really embarrassing me." Doctor Zhuo stroked his gray beard, his eyes wide open with a smile.

Doctor Song interrupted at the right time, "Princess, the doctors are arguing about which prescription to use. Princess, what do you think we should do?"

Jiang Yunxi glanced at the two prescriptions on the table and asked, "Which prescription can cure the disease?"

"Neither of them can, but..." Doctor Song didn't know how to say this.

"I know that the imperial doctors have been working tirelessly these days to research a prescription for curing the epidemic. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have also seen it."

Jiang Yunxi first gave a red date and said that the emperor and the empress dowager had seen their efforts.

"However, since the prescription has not been developed yet, it is a waste of time to argue here. Why not modify the prescription according to the symptoms and test it on the sick victims? The effect of the prescription will be reflected in the patients. Wouldn't it be more convincing if we do this?"

After hearing what Jiang Yunxi said, Doctor Zhuo stroked his beard, thought for a while, nodded, and went to get the medicine with the revised prescription.

Doctor Zhang sighed and thought, which little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair yet is controlling me?

But Doctor Zhuo had left, and Doctor Zhang could no longer argue on his own, so he picked up a pen and began to scribble on the prescription he had written.

Imperial Doctor Song secretly gave Jiang Yunxi a thumbs up, thinking that she handled the situation very well and saved Imperial Doctors Zhang and Zhuo from having to nag for at least an hour.

Jiang Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said, "Please bring out all the prescriptions you have used these days so that I can see them."
