They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

"What do you mean 'you'? Just give me 110 gold. I'm not greedy, and the person inside must be someone important, right? He's not even worth ten gold?"

Dulan remained silent. The person hadn't even been cured yet, and she was already asking for money. Since it wasn't her money anyway, she agreed and let their prince take the blame.

"Let's wait until Young Master Yu Xiu has cured our young master before we talk about it."

"Don't worry, I can definitely cure him."

Adar was still conscious in the room at that time, and he was not in a daze. He could also clearly see who was in front of him.

Han Yuxiu, wearing a face towel, placed his hand on Adar's wrist. It looked like a common fever, not contagious, and could be cured with just a few doses of herbal medicine and avoiding overexertion.

Adal, however, stared at Han Yuxiu with an expression as if he were about to die, his eyes even showing a hint of tenderness and reluctance.

Han Yuxiu looked disgusted, frowned as he took Han Yuxiu's pulse, and immediately released his hand. Adar looked at Han Yuxiu's expression and said, "Tell me the truth, am I about to die?"

Han Yuxiu sneered, wondering if he had some kind of paranoia. He thought he was going to die from such a minor ailment. He shook his head.

Adal thought he was beyond saving, and lay there with his eyes vacant: "If I die, I am willing to give you one-fifth of my property."

"If I save your life, can you promise me one thing?" Han Yuxiu asked solemnly.

"If you save my life, I will tell you my identity, and I will also grant you the most honorable status."

What I meant was, could you please stop liking me?

Adal: ? [He probably doesn't know who I am. If he did, he definitely wouldn't refuse.]

At that moment, Du Lan and Wu Ziyan were standing at the door when they overheard their conversation. Du Lan cried out, "Young Master, just agree to him! After all, your life is more important!"

Wu Ziyan didn't expect Adar to be so loyal. She thought he was just playing around, but even when he was about to die, he refused to give up.

"Then let me die!"

Han Yuxiu was so angry he laughed: "And many people have contracted this disease, and if it's not treated, they really will die! It doesn't matter if you die, but don't you care about those people?"

At this point, Adal fell silent again. If he hadn't worried about the people running off to the pastoral areas, would he have been able to do so? He even shed two tears of regret: "If you are willing to save the people, then I will keep my feelings for you buried in my heart."

"make a deal."

Han Yuxiu didn't want to stay in the room a moment longer. When Wu Ziyan saw him come out and didn't see Fang Yuerong, she casually asked, "Where is Fang Yuerong? Didn't she come with you?"

Han Yuxiu was initially quite happy to see Wu Ziyan come to find him, but when she asked about Fang Yuerong, his face immediately turned cold.

"do not know!"

Anyone could tell that Han Yuxiu was angry. Wu Ziyan tried to grab his wrist, but he shook her off forcefully. Du Lan, who was watching from the side, said, "The other young master is resting in the private room."

"Thank you!" Wu Ziyan replied irritably.

"Yu Xiu, Yu Xiu, wait for me!"

"Weren't you here to see Fang Yuerong? What does this have to do with me?" Han Yuxiu had clearly told himself not to get angry about this kind of thing anymore, but he just couldn't control himself.

When he turned around and saw Wu Ziyan with a fawning smile and sincere eyes, she said, "Yu Xiu, don't be angry."

"How dare I be angry with you? Who am I to you? What right do I have?"

"Because you are the only one who can cure this plague, and because you are the one I am about to marry."

Wu Ziyan took out the "List of Hundred Medicines" given to her by the system. She had wanted to give it to him for a long time, but she had forgotten about many things. Now she could take it out to make him happy.

She pulled a book from her sleeve, a book that was probably two fingers thick: "Look what this is."

Although Han Yuxiu was angry, she couldn't resist her curiosity and turned around to see a book. However, she didn't expect Wu Ziyan to be so perfunctory in trying to coax her.

"What's this!"

"Look, right, right, there's this too." She gave him the newly acquired antidote powder as well.

Having studied medicine since childhood, he was quite the medical fanatic. He initially thought it was just an ordinary book, but when he came across the rare herbs and recipes for various detoxifying pills recorded inside, his eyes lit up instantly.

Somewhat excited, he asked, "I've seen many books in my mother's room, all of which were royal secrets. Where did you get this book?"

"I saw that you really enjoyed tinkering with these medicinal herbs, so I specially asked someone to find them for you." She was good at making up lies; otherwise, how could she explain it?

He put the books away, his face fell again, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly; men and women are the same.

"Fang Yuerong is resting in the side room over there. I'll go call him. You wait for me here." Han Yuxiu went to find Fang Yuerong on his own initiative.

Dulan chased after them, realizing that Wu Ziyan was the one who could truly make decisions for them. Currently, with the epidemic raging on their border, it seemed that they could only consult with her.

"Is it true that you asked Young Master Yu Xiu to help with the border plague?"

"Of course it's true, but there's a fee."

Dulan nodded, saying it was only right to pay. Han Yuxiu pulled Fang Yuerong out, still holding a handful of sunflower seeds in his hand: "Is that all?"

"Let's go back quickly," Wu Ziyan kept winking at the two of them.

The two understood that they must have gotten their hands on that important item. They quickly walked out the door, got into the carriage, and returned to Xiao Si's residence.

On the other side, when Yue'er saw Xiao Si return, she repeated the things that Wu Ziyan had told him to Xiao Si.

Xiao Si looked at the equipment that resembled both bronze and wood, wondering if it could actually be useful. But as a member of the royal family, he might know some secret techniques. He ordered his soldiers to take the equipment north to a place near the cold spring to explore for water.

Xiao Si waited for them to return at the door. Wu Ziyan asked about the matter and was relieved to hear that it was done according to her instructions.

What she found curious was that none of them were curious about how she had obtained these things, and they didn't even ask.

"Yu Xiu, you should make some medicine packets and powders. Even if we go to Dulan Prefecture today, Adal's illness is not contagious, but the rumors of human-to-human transmission at the border are not unfounded. We still need to take preventative measures in advance."

"Yuerong, you're in charge of spreading the message. I'm sure you know the details, so I won't go into them. We need to solve these two things as one."

Seeing Wu Ziyan suddenly become so serious and give orders so eloquently, they felt that she had become reliable again, even though Han Yuxiu had long known that there was great power hidden in her small body.

"Oh, and also, we promised today to save the people in the Northern Desert, but let's wait until we've actually finished digging the water. The powder formula I gave you has a prediction of this febrile disease."

Adhering to the principle that doctors should have the heart of a parent, Han Yuxiu still said, "The sooner you see a doctor, the better; the later you see a doctor, the better..."

"Watching it later means you'll die sooner," Wu Ziyan replied, puzzled.

"Yu Xiu, you need to understand, how can they get nervous if a few of them die? How are we supposed to advance then?"

When she said those words, both of them were shocked. To regard human life as worthless was nothing more than this.
