~ LITTLE DUMBFOUNDED ~

Si Qin quickly walked in, “Yes, Miss. Many civilians outside said His Royal Highness Yue Wang was careless about human life. No one knows who told them, but everyone thinks the people who were tied up last night are dead.”

“Where’s Yue Wang?”

“His Royal Highness Yue Wang was very angry. He brought some of his men over to tie them to a tree in the courtyard. That tree is quite thick. But it can’t bear many people, so it was tied around the tree for several layers. There is a commotion outside asking His Royal Highness Yue Wang to release the people.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle. “The citizens still have the strength to come and ask for people. It seems like the situation isn’t too bad here. The medicinal herbs should be arriving soon, right?”

“Yes, when we were on the way yesterday, the medicinal herbs have transported over by water transportation. I believe they will arrive in a short time.”

“Yes.” Mu Yunyao stood up, finished washing up, and walked outside the courtyard with Si Qin and Si Qi.

The Imperial Physicians were eating breakfast when they saw Mu Yunyao walk over. One by one, they bowed, “Greetings, Princess Wenxian.”

Mu Yunyao returned the greeting, “The medicinal herb will arrive very soon. When that happens, I’ll have to trouble all of you.”

“This is all due to us doing our duty. We don’t know if the Princess still has special pills in her hands … Without the Princess’ pills in our hands, we always feel uneasy.”

When they were in Yishui City, Mu Yunyao had already given out pills to the soldiers and commoners who had gone to clear Yishui City. Each of them only had one pill, which seemed quite stingy. Many people didn’t take it seriously at first.

However, when someone was infected with an epidemic disease and became ill in a hurry, he directly swallowed the pills given by Mu Yunyao. Later, he returned to the camp and took another decoction. He sweated a little at night. He sweated a little at night and became active the next day.

At first, the Imperial Physicians thought it was a coincidence, but in the end, none of the soldiers infected with the plague were affected. The epidemic did not spread as they expected, and the situation was beyond their control, making them all worried.

Therefore, when they heard that another person in Guancheng City was infected with a plague, they volunteered spontaneously to come. With Mu Yunyao there, treating the pandemic was easier than treating for cold. The merit is nothing if you don’t earn it.

Hearing the Imperial Physicians’ words, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile. “I’ve prepared some in advance, so I’ll give two to each Lords later. Because some medicinal ingredients aren’t easy to obtain, the quantity will be a bit less, so I hope that all of the Lords don’t mind.”

“How could that be? Many thanks to Princess Wenxian.”

Mu Yunyao arrived at the front yard and saw the group of people tied to the tree from afar. Outside the door, the citizens were furious, but they didn’t dare to act because the guards glared at them.

When Yue Wang walked over and saw Mu Yunyao, his eyes instantly turned gentle. “Yao’er, why are you up so early?”

“I heard the commotion outside early in the morning. I couldn’t sleep, so I would get up early and prepare. After settling everything here, we would head back to the Capital. It’s been a while since I left the Capital. I miss Grandmother and Mother very much.”

“Alright.” Yue Wang nodded and turned around to face the people at the door, “There are quite a few people now, which is just convenient for me to pass on the message. “Everyone, listen carefully. I am the Fourth Prince, Yue Wang. I was ordered by the Imperial Court to escort the Imperial Physicians to treat the infected people with plague in Guancheng City. Today, a free clinic will be set up at the entrance of the government office. Whichever family member was unwell, they could go to the free consultation for a free diagnosis and then dispense the decoctions. Regardless of whether they are infected with the epidemic, they must drink some of the decoctions. If there is, it will cure the disease, but if there is no, it will strengthen the body.”

Everyone in the crowd fell into a discussion when someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Why do you want everyone to drink that decoction? Those were not actually medicine for the illness but deadly poison, right? You people are not sent by the Imperial Court to help us but to take our lives!”

Yue Wang furrowed his brows and was about to say something when he saw Mu Yunyao slightly shake her head.

“You believe me or not, I dont care. But we only set up a free clinic for three days. Those who are infected with the plague will come to receive free consultations within three days. We can treat you free of charge, and after three days, we will leave for another city.”

After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she directly returned back to the backyard to eat with Yue Wang. Right now, the commoners were all bewildered. The more they talked, the easier it would be for them to think more about it. Instead, putting on this kind of attitude that they would like to see or not, they would make them doubt their own thoughts.

Soon, a carriage carrying herbs came in at the city gate.

Mu Yunyao personally brought the Imperial Physician to accept the medicinal herbs and put them on the record for later inspection.

When they went out, many of the commoners still hadn’t left. However, they didn’t intentionally stop them. They were afraid Mu Yunyao would sprinkle a handful of powder, so they just watched from a distance.

When they saw the large number of medicinal herbs being delivered, someone in the crowd whispered to another person, “Didn’t you stay in the pharmacy for a while? Do you understand what kind of medicinal herbs they are?”

“All of them seem to be herbs that can clear away heat, detoxifying the body, removing dampness and poison. They don’t seem to be harmful at all.”

When he finished, many pairs of eyes immediately glared at him. “Yes or no, why do you say they seem? It is a matter of life and death, so polish your eyes slightly.”

The young man who was questioned was about to cry. “I … I am only an apprentice in the pharmacy, so I don’t recognize many medicinal herbs yet. Anyway, I know a few of them. There’s no poison in them.”

After the medicinal herbs were delivered, they were also finished setting up the free clinic at the government office entrance. The Imperial Physicians brought their medicine box to the clinic to wait. After waiting nearly two hours, not a single person came for consultation.

The weather gradually became hot. At noon, the sun was a bit scorching.

Yue Wang was worried that Mu Yunyao would feel dizzy from the sun’s rays, so he asked for someone to bring over a chair and let her sit in the shade of the government office’s gate and watch the guards dispense and boil the medicine. From time to time, he would also go and ask her if she was hot and thirsty.

On the surface, the Imperial Physicians looked like they were studying medical books, but their thoughts were all on the two of them. The more they listened, the more their teeth ached, and they could not help but suck their teeth. They looked at each other with their colleagues and felt that the current Yue Wang was a little dumbfounded.

Who would have thought the famous cold-faced Prince would actually become so obedient?

Mu Yunyao enjoys this feeling of being taken care of very much. Since Mu Yunyao was reborn, she had always strived to move forward, afraid that if she took a wrong step, there would be an irreparable crisis. Now that she could relax, the lazy personality in her bones started to peek out. In fact, her favorite things are warm her clothes in winter, drink ice in summer, and then serve it with bubble pearl jade and scented tea. With these things, even if she had to stay in one place all day long, she would still be willing to do so.

Yue Wang ignored the sour-hearted Imperial Physicians. Seeing no one came, he ordered the garrison troops and government officials, who had just gathered together, to clean up the city, spread quicklime, and eliminate rats and cockroaches.

On the first day, since there weren’t any commoners to come to the clinic, Mu Yunyao had the Imperial Physicians return early.

After Mu Yunyao returned, she did not stay idle but made some medicinal powder and asked people to place it in wells at night. Although she was unhappy with the suspicions she had received, she could not just watch the people suffer. With the medicinal powder, at least the victims could drink the water in the well without worry.
