The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 285 Yuan Zhi's Anecdotes
Mu Qingcheng followed Madam Lin to the main room. After they sat down, she stated her purpose directly.
Mrs. Lin was silent for a long time after hearing this. Finally, she slowly said, "I have indeed met Yuan Zhi, but we are not familiar with each other."
Mu Qingcheng understood and continued to ask, "Madam, can you tell me the stories of Yuan Zhi saving the dying and healing the wounded? I want to find useful clues from these stories."
Mrs. Lin looked troubled and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This... I don't know much, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
Mu Qingcheng noticed Mrs. Lin's hesitation and quickly said with a smile, "It's okay, ma'am. You know more than me, and this is also a valuable clue for me."
Mrs. Lin was moved by Mu Qingcheng's sincerity. She said with determination, "Miss Mu is also trying to save Fang Bo. What else can I hide?"
Madam Lin gathered her thoughts and slowly spoke, "This genius doctor, Yuan Zhi, did come to Fangjia Village over twenty years ago. That year, there was war. Southern Yan attacked the border of Great Qi, and the battlefield was south of Qingle County. Fortunately, the gates of Qingle County were relatively strong, and the enemy could not take it down for a while. The battle was extremely brutal, and many people died. Their bodies were not handled in time and were thrown near Yelangpo.
Soon, some of the more resourceful people in the village figured out a way to make money, which was to make money from the dead. Some lucky ones could pick up more than ten taels of silver from a corpse in a single night. Gradually, more and more people came to the village, and it was impossible to stop them.
Mu Qingcheng was deeply worried after hearing this, fearing something might happen: "Is there no one in the military taking care of this? Are they just going to leave their bodies exposed in the wilderness?"
Madam Lin also sighed and said, "Who says it's not true? But the war was intense, and the defenders could fall at any time. Who cared about the dead? It wasn't until Prince Shaojun led his troops to stabilize the situation. Only then did anyone come to deal with the bodies. Unfortunately, it was too late!"
Mrs. Lin started beating her chest and stamping her feet as she spoke, weeping bitterly: "The village soon became plagued by an epidemic. The whole village began to have high fevers and vomiting, and was bedridden. We called in a doctor who said it was the plague, but he was so frightened that he ran away without even accepting the consultation fee.
Back then, my poor little daughter! My youngest daughter, whom I risked my life to give birth to! My precious baby! She was only six years old, and she died after a day and night of fever... wuwuwu... wuwuwu..."
Mrs. Lin burst into tears. Mu Qingcheng felt very sorry after hearing this. She also apologized with red eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't know about your daughter..."
Mrs. Lin cried and waved her hands: "It's been more than 20 years. I should have let it go long ago. It's just that I'm too stubborn and can't let her go."
Mu Qingcheng hurriedly advised, "Madam Lin, although your daughter's life was short, thanks to your love and care, she must have never suffered any hardship or suffering. She must have lived a very happy and fulfilling life! She must have loved you very much and would have loved to be your daughter again. So, since ancient times, everyone is mortal, and each of us is on the road of reincarnation. Perhaps around the next corner, you will meet again and become mother and daughter again."
Mrs. Lin gradually understood what was said. No one had ever told her these things before.
"Miss Mu, are you telling the truth? Do we really have a chance to be mother and daughter again?"
"Of course. What daughter doesn't love her mother? Especially since you treat her so well, how could she bear not to be your daughter?"
Mrs. Lin finally stopped crying and smiled. "You're right, you're right, my precious daughter. How could she bear to abandon her mother? In the next life, we will be mother and daughter again."
Mrs. Lin had just stopped crying when Mu Qingcheng burst into tears. Sob… Sob… She missed her mother too. Mom! Mom! Sob… Where are you? She really missed her mother…
——Interlude——
Far away in the Southern Yan Kingdom, in Yongdu City, Princess Yao of Prince Yao's Mansion was picking fresh flower petals in the garden to make rouge.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her heart, and the flower basket in her hand fell, and the petals scattered all over the ground.
"Princess...Princess...what's wrong with you?!"
"Someone come quickly! It's bad, it's bad, the princess has fainted, quickly go and get the imperial physician."
King Yao, who had hurried over, turned pale with fear when he saw this scene: "Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Prince Yao was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands: "Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"
He was about to lose his temper when the princess suddenly woke up. She hurriedly waved everyone away, leaving only the couple in the house.
"Lan'er, what's wrong with you?"
The princess burst into tears before she even opened her mouth: "Yanzhou, this is the third time. My feeling is right. Our daughter, our daughter... she must be here... she is here..."
--Finish--
Madam Lin calmed herself down and continued, "Ever since Crown Prince Shaojun led his troops into battle, morale has greatly increased, and they've won several battles in a row, finally stabilizing the situation. But the plague eventually broke out, and people in the villages near Fangjia Village were also infected."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Fangjia Village in person to check on the situation. He was worried and sent imperial physicians to treat the disease, but the epidemic was so severe that even the physicians were helpless.
The plague spread rapidly, threatening to infect the military camp. If anyone were to become infected, the consequences would be disastrous. His Royal Highness quickly ordered the county seat sealed off, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving. He also ordered all residents of villages with infected people to be driven to our Fangjia Village. Later, they surrounded our entire village with a wooden fence, imprisoned us, and stationed soldiers to guard it. Anyone who dared to escape would be executed on the spot.
Mu Qingcheng was also horrified after hearing this: "What happened next? Did they just leave it like that?"
Mrs. Lin burst into tears again as she spoke, "What else can we do? This is their own fault, and they have implicated us too. It's pitiful that our family of more than 20 people, young and old, were trapped in this place of death, and within a few days, more than a dozen of us died!
My uncle's family of eight all died, no one was spared."
Before Mu Qingcheng came here, she had just experienced a catastrophe. She could empathize with others and knew how terrifying and desperate it felt to wait for death.
"Just when we all thought we were doomed, a girl fell from the sky. No one knew where she came from. We only saw a slender girl at the entrance of the village. She was wearing a plain dress and a veil that covered her from head to toe. We couldn't even see her face clearly.
She told the guards at the village entrance that her name was Yuan Zhi, she was a doctor, and she could treat diseases. But the guards refused to let her into the village and tried to persuade her to leave quickly.
Not only did Yuan Zhi not leave, she also told the soldiers that every moment of delay would result in one more death.
Just like that, she was not afraid of death and actually came in! Her appearance was like a god descending to earth, bringing us a glimmer of hope.
She told us not to be afraid, saying she was here to save us. She acted decisively, gathering those who weren't already sick. Each person was given a handkerchief to cover their mouth and nose to prevent the spread of the virus. Then, she took out a black powder and sprinkled it in the water, which immediately turned dark purple. She told us to wash our hands with it, saying it would kill the plague in us. Furthermore, she sprinkled some of the powder on each of us and said our clothes needed to be disinfected. And the area we lived in needed to be sprayed daily.
Mu Qingcheng suspected that Mrs. Lin was talking about something like "potassium permanganate", but could potassium permanganate be used to disinfect the body and the ground directly? She was not sure about this.
However, Yuan Zhi is indeed much better than her, and her method of treating the plague is more scientific.
----------
This chapter has been revised many times, and I have been undecided. Now that the plot has reached this point, it can only be like this.
Chapter 211 is a bit conflicting with this one, so I went back and revised 211 again. You can read it again later.
