Daily life in the academy

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Mu Bailian's face was full of resentment, and he sat down again under Bai Zhi's force.

To be honest, he was just pretending...he is not stupid.

If Bai Zhi knew what he was thinking right now, she would probably be so angry that her eyes would roll up to the sky.

Yan Qingchen knocked on the table: "Wait and see."

“Oh no…Oh no…”

The servant boy pushed the door open hurriedly, his face full of anxiety.

Yan Qingchen frowned: "Why are you so anxious?"

"The princess... the princess is ill."

"What did you say? What happened to my mother?" Yan Qingchen's face changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

"News has come from the palace that the princess has suddenly developed a high fever today and may have contracted an epidemic. Someone has been sent to inform you, Prince, to return home."

Since this matter concerned his own mother, Yan Qingchen had lost his composure and looked anxious: "Have you found the imperial physician for treatment?"

The servant shook his head: "I don't know. Butler Shen only sent someone to inform the princess that she was ill, and didn't mention anything else."

"Come on, follow me to find Master Xie." Yan Qingchen walked out.

Bai Zhi hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Yan, don't worry. If the princess really has the water plague, why don't we go to Dayefang and ask Doctor Hu to bring him to the palace? He will make sure nothing happens to the princess."

Yan Qingchen didn't hesitate and said in a deep voice: "Follow me, I want to see what kind of monster is causing trouble."

Although Yunlu Academy was closed, the status of Prince Ning's Mansion was extraordinary. After Yan Qingchen explained the reason to Xie Guan, he was soon allowed to pass. He personally escorted the four people out of the academy. Before leaving, he looked at the four people who were jumping around in front of him and couldn't help but remind them to take care of their health.

The carriage sent by Prince Ning's Mansion had already been waiting outside the academy. The group of four got on the carriage and went straight into the city from Qixia Gate. There were soldiers guarding each checkpoint, but those with the palace token could pass through unimpeded.

Compared with its previous prosperity, the city is now much emptier and more desolate.

You can imagine how fierce this epidemic is.

When I arrived at Doctor Hu's clinic in Dayefang, he was busy taking care of a patient.

"Doctor Hu." Bai Zhi called out, and when she saw him looking over, she quickly waved him over.

Doctor Hu gave a few words of advice to the pharmacist next to him and quickly walked out of the clinic.

"Azhi, what's the matter?"

Bai Zhi introduced him straight to the point, "This is Prince Ning's son, Yan Qingchen. He's here to ask Doctor Hu to accompany us to the Ning Palace to see the princess. The princess also had a sudden high fever this morning."

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Doctor Hu was about to bow, but Yan Qingchen raised his hand to stop him.

"No need to bow, just follow me back to the palace quickly."

Doctor Hu glanced at Bai Zhi, who nodded at him. He said, "Okay, Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go to the hall and get the medicine box first."

During this time, Aman saw Baizhi and wanted to come over excitedly, but she was busy with the patients in the clinic and couldn't get away, so she had to pout and wave goodbye to Baizhi reluctantly.

The air pressure in Prince Ning's Mansion was extremely low. The hostess collapsed, and Prince Ning was filled with rage. He attacked every servant and maid indiscriminately. Except for Butler Shen who had already remained calm, everyone else was trembling with fear. It was not until Yan Qingchen led a group of people back to Prince Ning's Mansion that the low pressure dissipated a little.

"Ayao, please check on your mother. She has a persistent high fever. We called in the imperial physician, who prescribed a prescription, but after two doses, there's still no improvement. What should we do?"

Yan Qingchen hummed and said to Doctor Hu beside him, "Doctor Hu, please treat my mother."

"I will take the princess's pulse right away."

Prince Ning wanted to go to Yan Qingchen to ask about the situation, but he followed Doctor Hu straight to the bedside, looked at his mother with a flushed face with worry, and clenched his fists.

Mu Bailian coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish his words, Prince Ning smacked him on the head: "How many times have I told you, don't call me Prince in private, call me Uncle Yan."

"Uncle Yan..." Mu Bailian touched his head and took two steps back. "Don't worry, he's the doctor we hired to treat the epidemic. Many students in the academy have also been infected, but we drank the medicine he prepared and our bodies haven't shown any abnormalities, so the princess will definitely be fine."

Prince Ning's expression finally softened a bit: "I see."

Doctor Hu had finished taking the patient's pulse. He took out a prepared plaster from his medicine box and handed it to the attendant beside him. "Apply one plaster at a time, three times a day. You will feel better in three days. After that, apply twice a day for seven days and you will be cured."

Prince Ning went forward and asked, "Doctor Hu, is the princess really sick?"

Doctor Hu: "Your Highness, the princess's pulse is consistent with that of the patients in the city. She must have contracted the disease accidentally."

Prince Ning: "Why is everyone else in the palace fine? Only the princess is sick?"

"When I entered the palace, I observed everyone there. They all had rosy complexions and no signs of illness. Perhaps someone adulterated the princess's oral intake, causing her sudden illness."

Prince Ning snorted coldly: "I want to see who is so bold as to dare to harm the princess under my nose."

"Shen Yong, investigate thoroughly for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Butler Shen had been waiting nearby and quickly stepped forward to answer.

After about half an hour, the servant brought in the freshly boiled medicine. Prince Ning personally fed the princess the medicine. Soon, the blush on the princess's face subsided a little.

Prince Ning finally felt relieved. At this time, the sky outside had darkened. He waved his hand and called his servants to arrange for them to live in Jingyuan.

As for the father and son, they stayed in the princess's room and seemed to have something to say.

Bai Zhi had been here last time. Although she was not familiar with all the roads in the palace so quickly, after arriving at Jingyuan, she walked to the room where she had lived before with ease.

Bai Zhi felt exhausted after being worried and running around all day. She fell asleep soon after she fell on the bed.

In a daze, she seemed to have come to a secret space...

In a secret room

"It's almost time to wrap up this matter. Sheng An can't panic." The black-robed man hid in the darkness, and his deliberately lowered voice sounded unreal.

"Yes, the gimmick is ready."

"Okay, keep looking for the person I asked you to look for. If anyone disappears, let me know immediately."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Only the man in black robe was left in the room. He slowly walked out of the darkness. He looked a bit burly, but he still had a mask under his cloak, so his true face could not be seen.
