Report to the Empress and the Eldest Princess: They're using the system to poach your men.

About half an hour later.

The two sisters continued to sweat, and the sweat even washed away the mud on their faces.

"Sister, I feel so hot and my hands are so numb."

The younger sister held her older sister's hand, a look of distress on her face.

My sister wasn't doing much better; she not only had a fever, but her chest felt even tighter, and her breathing had slowed down considerably.

Shen Sangwan sensed something was amiss; it seemed the two sisters were allergic to a certain herb in the prescription, and this allergy was becoming apparent over time.

She had initially thought it was just a mild symptom and nothing serious!

"Xiaotong, if I'm allergic to Chinese medicine, can I take allergy medication? I don't know anything about medicine, so I don't dare to do anything reckless."

[Master, please have them get up and exercise to boost their metabolism. They're currently running a fever, so make sure they sweat it out.]

Is exercise all that's needed?

The problem is, you don't have any fruits or vegetables for her to eat to boost her metabolism! She can only relieve the symptoms through exercise!

Shen Sangwan pointed at the two sisters and said, "You two, get up and help each other walk around here until you're too tired to walk anymore."

[Master, is this what I meant by exercise?]

Wen Yuening listened to Shen Sangwan and Xiaotong's conversation and had no objection to the order.

"The reaction between a drug and the body is called an allergy."

"That's a good excuse."

The man on the ground, who had been incoherent, had taken the medicine, and now, more than an hour later, his eyes were starting to clear.

"How does it feel?"

"It's hot, incredibly hot."

Wen Yuening took his pulse and examined his pupils. "Are you feeling any better than before?"

"I don't feel as bad anymore, but I'm still sweating a lot and feel sticky. My whole body is burning hot, like it's being roasted by fire."

"Were you one of the first people sent in?"

The man nodded.

"Hang in there a little longer. You're quite strong; you've managed to last this long."

"I will improve the prescription tonight and have someone brew the medicine again. After drinking it tomorrow morning, you will have another high fever. If there are no adverse reactions, you should be fine after resting for five or six days."

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up. "Miss...no...miracle doctor, are you telling the truth? I...I can really be saved?"

"This medicine has a strong aftereffect, so you'll have to get through tonight. You'll have a persistent fever, so remember not to take off your clothes because of the heat."

"Okay...okay! As long as there's hope, as long as there's hope! My daughter is still waiting for me to come home, she's still waiting for me. No matter what, I will persevere."

The man's voice was slightly agitated, and upon closer inspection, his eyes were glistening with tears.

The other one, who was pretending to be dead, was curled up in a clump, sometimes feeling cold and sometimes hot, but he was very clear-headed and listened to everything Wen Yuening said.

Having ignored Wen Yuening after being forced to take the medicine, he struggled to his feet. "Sister, Divine Doctor Sister, I...I feel unwell. I feel hot and cold. What's wrong?"

"So you're finally willing to speak up?"

Wen Yuening remained silent, but Shen Sangwan spoke first with a sarcastic remark.

The man lowered his head in shame.

“Everyone’s constitution is different, and the body’s reaction to medicine will also be different. Hold out your hand, and I’ll take your pulse.”

The hands beneath the sleeves appeared delicate, though somewhat dirty from not having bathed for several days.

Shen Sangwan then took a closer look at the man. Although his clothes were covered in mud and were extremely dirty, a closer look at the fabric suggested that he came from a wealthy family.

"Besides the alternation of hot and cold, are there any other discomforts?"

"No...no more."

As he spoke, he started to feel cold again, and his body trembled.

"Just bear with it for now, I'll get you some ginger to suck on later."

When it was the woman's turn, she ignored all questions.

Wen Yuening had no choice but to give up.

The soldiers moved with incredible speed, worked in an orderly manner, and cooperated with each other to assemble the large stones, discarded wood, and damaged beams scattered on the ground.

The abandoned garden, covering more than 10 acres (more than 7000 square meters), was roughly divided into three areas (the garden was the mansion that was confiscated and was abandoned without being redistributed).

Wen Yuening's estimate was only a rough one. Based on what she had seen so far, there were probably no fewer than a thousand people, and there were others lying in other nooks and crannies. She estimated that tens of thousands of people were trapped here, left to fend for themselves.

"Come with me, and I'll teach you how to determine the severity of patients' conditions and then distribute them to different areas."

"Place those with severe illness in the innermost area, those with moderate illness in the middle area, and those with mild to moderate illness in the outermost area."

The soldiers first glanced at Shen Sangwan. There were at least several thousand, and sometimes tens of thousands, of soldiers here. It was heavy physical labor, and it would be quite difficult for fifteen people.

Shen Sangwan naturally noticed the soldiers' predicament. "We don't have enough manpower right now. You should first count how many people are infected here. Then those who can walk on their own and have milder symptoms can be arranged to come outside first."

"I will immediately dispatch people to help."

"Yes, the general will take your orders."

Shen Sangwan turned and walked to the gate of the abandoned garden. "Shuyi, go back to the government office and see how many doctors you have recruited. Bring them all here. Also, have the Right Assistant General send a hundred men over to bring all the medicinal herbs and the utensils for brewing the medicine."

"Slave, go now."

"Your Highness, may I go in and help my young lady?"

After receiving the order, Shuyi instructed the coachman to drive the carriage back to the government office. Qingque, who was standing nearby, was a little restless and expressed her desire to go in and help.

Are you scared?

“I have been serving you since I was seven years old, and now I wish to stay by your side.”

Shen Sangwan stepped aside and said, "Put on the gauze properly, and try not to touch seriously ill patients. Just help your young lady out."

"This servant will keep it in mind."

[Master, would you like to take an immunity pill?]

Xiao Tong was also afraid that Shen Sangwan would contract the plague, even though Wen Yuening could most likely cure her, the process would be extremely difficult.

"Does such a thing even exist?"

Shen Sangwan was so busy that she forgot about the immune pills and didn't even realize they were such a good thing.

"Xiaotong, why is this main system acting differently? Why is this immunity drug only effective when taken by the host?"

She originally wanted to take more so that Wen Yuening and Yan Mojun could each have one.

However, after reading the instructions, it was found that the medicine only had an effect on her.

【My lord, this plague was caused by a locust plague, compounded by the greed of those in power, leading to such widespread suffering. If you attempt to interfere in the lives and deaths of others with things that should not exist, the consequences will come back on you.】

[My lord, it is karma. The sins committed by these people will be borne by the corrupt officials behind them.]

"But the soldiers of Yanmo Army were saving lives. I only wanted to give them to them. I could have ensured their safety, but what if they got infected..."

[Master, you can use other methods to protect them, but you cannot use anything that is not available here to interfere with their original fate of life and death.]

Shen Sangwan stared thoughtfully at Qingque's retreating figure as she went inside.
