"So Physician Jin didn't discover it? I thought he had made some amazing discovery and was going to tell me," Song Ruozhen said, feigning surprise.

Physician Yang and the others couldn't help but chuckle. They weren't stupid; they could naturally see that Physician Jin's previous attitude had displeased Princess Chu. How could they expect Princess Chu to give him a pleasant look now?

She's a princess, and she's skilled in medicine. Do you really think she'd be begging him for help?

All the imperial physicians remained silent at this moment, since they couldn't think of a solution either, and Physician Jin had just said there was nothing they could do.

If you're not capable, you should be humble like them!

Song Ruozhen then took the pulses of more than a dozen soldiers in succession, and the doubts that had been lingering in her heart began to take shape.

It seems that the situation is indeed as she thought.

The person who devised this wicked scheme is truly vicious.

The plague is vicious enough, but to try to confuse the public like this is unacceptable. We will not be able to swallow this anger until this person is caught!

Physician Yang and the others stood quietly to the side, all curious about Song Ruozhen's judgment. However, she remained silent, which only fueled their curiosity.

Could it be that they haven't discovered it?

"Please don't mind me, everyone. I've only just made a little progress, but I still need to see the Prince to confirm my judgment," Song Ruozhen said frankly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes filled with surprise. The Princess Consort of Chu actually said she had made a discovery?

"I will take the princess to see the prince immediately."

As Song Ruozhen entered the tent, she immediately saw Chu Junting, whose face was slightly pale.

"Why are you so disobedient? Do you know how dangerous it is to come here?"

The moment Chu Junting saw Song Ruozhen, his handsome brows were filled with helplessness, and his voice was stern.

The soldiers watching this scene dared not linger and quietly slipped away. What if the prince and princess started arguing and they knew too much and were silenced?

Despite Chu Junting's serious attitude, Song Ruozhen remained calm.

"I know, anyway, I've already checked on the other infected soldiers and taken their pulses. It's too late for you to stop me now."

"Besides..." Song Ruozhen paused, glanced at him sideways, and said calmly, "You're not exactly obedient yourself."

Chu Junting was originally feeling agitated. He didn't want to implicate Ruozhen, which was why he deliberately didn't send the message back. Who would have thought that this girl would not only come, but also go to take the pulses of other soldiers, giving him no chance to refuse.

Suddenly hearing a woman's accusation, he chuckled, "I was just worried about you. The plague is no joke; you know how serious it is."

"I know how serious the situation is, which is why I think your actions are absolutely unacceptable!"

Song Ruozhen's face turned cold. "When you wanted to marry me, you said that we were of one mind and husband and wife, but now that something has happened, you only think about getting rid of me."

It seems even the words of the dignified King of Chu cannot be trusted; he's quite adept at abandoning his allies when disaster strikes.

This was the first time Chu Junting had ever seen Song Ruozhen so angry. Even though she was angry, he just thought she was so cute.

"Extend your hand," Song Ruozhen said coldly.

Seeing his wife's angry expression, Chu Junting obediently reached out his hand.

Chu Yungui lay weakly on the bed, and when he learned that his sister-in-law had arrived, he watched the commotion with curiosity.

Seeing his third brother suffer a setback in front of his sister-in-law, even though he was so weak that he had no strength left, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Sure enough, one thing comes down to another.

No matter how powerful the third prince was before, it was useless; he had to obey his sister-in-law.

After Song Ruozhen took Chu Junting's pulse, she noticed that his pulse was different from that of the other infected soldiers, which made her even more certain.

At this moment, she turned her gaze and noticed Chu Yungui not far away, and asked, "Your Highness Prince Yun, were you infected together?"

"Yes," Chu Junting replied first.

However, Song Ruozhen didn't even look at him, and said to Chu Yungui, "Let me take your pulse first."

Chu Yungui nodded, glancing smugly at Chu Junting. He knew that if he had upset his sister-in-law, his brother wouldn't be able to appease her anytime soon.

Chu Junting added, "I don't know what happened to Yun Gui either. They arrived at the military camp at the same time and were infected around the same time, but his condition is much more serious."

He's vomiting and has diarrhea; he's almost completely exhausted and doesn't even have the strength to speak. Ask me anything you want to know, and I'll answer for him.

Chu Yungui: "!!!"

Doesn't he want to lose face?

He's even younger than the Emperor!

Although his martial arts skills are not as good as his elder brother's, his physical condition shouldn't be that much worse!

After carefully examining Chu Yungui's pulse, Song Ruozhen took out a pill and gave it to Chu Yungui.

"Is this the antidote?"

Chu Yungui looked surprised and couldn't help but marvel at how amazing his sister-in-law was!

So many imperial physicians gathered together, but they still haven't come up with a useful solution. In fact, some of the prescriptions they gave to the soldiers not only failed to improve their condition, but actually made it worse!

"What kind of medicine is this?" Chu Junting was also curious. Could it be that Ruozhen had an antidote so quickly?

However, Song Ruozhen said casually, "Let's give it a try. It should be fine. Even if it's wrong, it won't kill you."

Chu Yun Gui, who had just swallowed the pill: "..."

"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Isn't this the antidote?"

Chu Yungui looked grief-stricken. He was already on the verge of collapse, and now he felt even more desperate.

He wanted to vomit but couldn't. His life mattered too!

"This isn't exactly an antidote, but based on my assessment, your condition should improve after taking it," Song Ruozhen said thoughtfully.

As she said this, Imperial Physician Jin and several other imperial physicians entered the tent.

"Princess Consort of Chu, you already have medicine that can cure this disease, why didn't you tell us before?"

Physician Jin spoke with a stern face, his voice unconsciously carrying a questioning tone. Was he perhaps afraid that they would steal the credit, so he was keeping it a secret?

However, when Physician Jin said these words, Physician Yang and the others had already subconsciously taken a step back.

For Imperial Physician Jin to speak to Princess Chu like that in front of His Highness the Prince of Chu is absolutely courting death; they cannot afford to be implicated!

"Why should I tell you?" Chu Junting asked coldly.

Imperial Physician Jin was startled, for he had been holding his breath and had completely forgotten that the prince was still there.

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I just feel that the situation is critical right now. As long as there's any way, we should all brainstorm and work together to speed up the treatment."

"I spoke rashly in the heat of the moment, and I beg Your Highness's forgiveness!"

"Drag him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane!"

Chu Junting was too lazy to listen to Physician Jin's explanation. This guy was always self-righteous and relied on his age. He thought that this was the time when he needed a doctor, so he didn't bother arguing with him.

Anyone who dares to speak to Zhen'er like that must be punished!
