Complaining secretly, Xu Junjun looked at Jun Xiaochen again and decided not to waste any more time talking to him.

Just then, Weidong brought someone to deliver the food. After washing her hands, Xu Junjun sat down at the table, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Jun Xiaochen did not dine with Xu Junjun. After watching Xu Junjun finish eating, Jun Xiaochen got up and left.

Xu Junjun was puzzled. She stared at the man's back as he left, and felt that he was a little crazy today.

Without dwelling on this matter for too long, after dinner, Xu Junjun asked Weidong to deliver the medicinal materials to the courtyard, found a spacious room, and started making medicine.

He prepared two new prescriptions and gave them to Weidong, asking him to personally supervise the decocting. Xu Junjun focused his mind, immersed himself in the herbs, and began to pick and choose.

In the two days since he woke up, Jun Xiaochen has never left the yard except for killing a chicken to scare the monkeys in the City Lord's Mansion.

The plague is contagious, and even though Jun Xiaochen takes medicine every day, he still feels worried.

The prescription prescribed by Xu Junjun was very effective. After taking two doses of the medicine, Jun Xiaochen felt that the weakness deep in his body had dissipated a lot, but the red spots on his body still did not disappear.

On the third day, Xu Junjun took Jun Xiaochen's pulse again.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I found that the symptoms of the mixed poison in his body had eased.

But after a closer look, he found that the plague in his body had not been eliminated at all, and his heart began to tighten again.

What happened? Why did Jun Xiaochen’s disease become more serious?

In addition to refining medicine these two days, she went out of the city under Wei Dong's leadership to carefully check many people infected with the plague.

Combined with the previous conclusion of the imperial physician, the prescription given to Jun Xiaochen should have a certain inhibitory effect. Why did the medicine have no effect on Jun Xiaochen after he took it?

Seeing Xu Junjun's gloomy face, Jun Xiaochen was very calm.

It seemed that no matter what the outcome was, he could accept it calmly.

This surprised Xu Junjun.

After taking the pulse, Xu Junjun withdrew his hand, looked at Jun Xiaochen seriously and said:

"The situation is not optimistic. You should stay in the courtyard and don't go out for the next few days.

I'll try another remedy."

Jun Xiaochen nodded gently, looking at Xu Junjun with a hint of gentleness in his eyes:

"I know this."

Xu Junjun left in a hurry, and Jun Xiaochen's face immediately darkened.

He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the green banana trees growing luxuriantly in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, murderous intent gradually boiling in his eyes.

He called Wei Dong in and gave him orders in a deep voice. Meeting Wei Dong's shocked gaze, Jun Xiaochen nodded in confirmation.

After Wei Dong took the order and left, Jun Xiaochen dropped his big palm in front of the window and broke the window frame with a force.

After the imperial physicians and doctors who were kidnapped and interrogated by Weidong last time found out the accomplices, Xu Junjun sincerely apologized to the remaining doctors and then took them together for in-depth academic exchanges.

Through the treatment suggestions and preliminary prescriptions they gave, after improvements, the prescription currently given to Jun Xiaochen was developed.

This prescription was not used only by Jun Xiaochen. Xu Junjun also selected several people with different levels of illness who were infected with the plague outside the city and asked them to take the medicine together to see the effect.

After coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Junjun rushed outside the city and took the pulse of the people who took the medicine one by one. However, the conclusion she came to made her frown.

The three imperial doctors who had been observing the people outside the city saw Xu Junjun coming in hurriedly. After examining the people, they sat aside dejectedly, looked at each other, and stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

After Xu Junjun explained the situation, the three of them also became worried.

One of the doctors said:

“This plague is really strange.

Most of the characteristics do not match those recorded in medical books.

If the infection hadn't been so widespread, I would have suspected that the people had been poisoned."

These words opened a crack in Xu Junjun's mind, causing her dark eyes to instantly emit a gleam of light.

Xu Junjun stood up and walked quickly to the doctor who was speaking, and said quickly:

"Doctor Zhao, please explain your thoughts in detail so that we can all listen together."

Seeing Xu Junjun was a little excited, Doctor Zhao did not hide his thoughts and told them all:

“When we first arrived in Jiangcheng, the people were already in a very serious situation.

Anyone infected with this disease will develop red spots on their legs and arms within a month, become emaciated, and have their internal organs rot.

My colleagues and I have tried many methods, even the most basic anti-epidemic soup was used on the people, but nothing worked.

Most importantly, no matter how we investigate, we cannot be completely sure of the mode of transmission of this plague.

In my despair, I once suspected that this was not a plague, but a large-scale poisoning.

For this reason, I even secretly checked the water source in Qiangcheng, and found that there was no problem with the water.

Unable to determine the mode of transmission, my colleagues and I could only work hard to develop a prescription.

I thought that if we worked harder, we could develop a suppressive formula and save millions of people from suffering.

Who would have thought that before the people were saved, the prince would..."

The imperial physician sighed deeply, a look of shame on his face.

The other two also looked at Xu Junjun with shame on their faces.

"Miss Xu, you've been researching the epidemic day and night these days, and we old men have seen the hard work you've put in.

To be honest, we are more anxious than you.

Ten doctors came out of the Imperial Capital, and now only three of us are left. If we can't find a way to control the epidemic and let it spread to the Imperial Capital, we will be blamed for our own deaths."

As Xu Junjun sighed repeatedly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and something flashed through his muddy thoughts.

Without time to grasp the inspiration, Xu Junjun looked at the three people and decided to change his thinking:

“My three lords, we will not see any patients today.

Let's go visit the homes of those in the city who are not infected with the plague."

Comparison is the key to finding clues more quickly. Unable to find any problems with the patient, Xu Junjun decided to look for another breakthrough.

After contracting the epidemic, Jun Xiaochen has had a poor appetite.

The meals have always been light.

In the evening, Jun Xiaochen was eating porridge in his room when Xu Junjun, sweating profusely, rushed in like a cannonball, slammed the table, and his face flushed with excitement:

“Jun Xiaochen!

I know how to cure this plague!

You can’t die!”

Raising his hand to hold the bowl of porridge that was almost knocked over, Jun Xiaochen looked up at the energetic woman.

Seeing the joy and excitement between Xu Junjun's brows, Jun Xiaochen raised the corners of his lips and nodded with a smile:

"Congratulations, Miss Xu, for saving me again."

Xu Junjun's eyes were as bright as stars, and she didn't notice the change in Jun Xiaochen's way of addressing her.

She kept spinning around in the room, her whole body seemed to be equipped with springs, and she bounced up and down as she walked.

Her heart was filled with great surprise, just like when she was in school and solved a math equation that had troubled her for half a semester, and she suddenly felt a great sense of satisfaction.

This moment can be said to be the most fulfilling second since she came to Apocalypse.

Pacing back and forth in the room, Xu Junjun clasped his hands and talked to himself:

"I should have discovered it when I was detoxifying you. It took me so long!

Now, I have to re-formulate the prescription immediately.

Yes, yes, yes, make it immediately!"

After speaking a few words incoherently, Xu Junjun looked at Jun Xiaochen and urged him urgently:

"Don't take those medicines, tell Weidong later!

I have to go discuss a new prescription with the imperial doctors and come back to see you in the evening!"

Just like when he came, Xu Junjun ran away in a hurry after he finished speaking, leaving Jun Xiaochen alone, looking at the empty door and laughing.
