The husband who had been away suppressing a rebellion for three years returned, but he brought back a delicate, flower-like woman.
Shen Yuerong sat in a wheelchair, watching with her own eyes...
They had traveled all the way here and should have been treated well, but instead they were abandoned on the outskirts of the city and left unattended. The guards who were guarding them seemed to be extremely unkind to them on a daily basis.
Shen Yuerong looked at Chi Mu, then stepped forward and said, "I know that you all feel resentful about what happened before, but whether it is His Majesty or the Crown Prince, they have never thought of leaving you aside and not paying attention to you. They just haven't made time for it."
"Time? Can you tell us what kind of time they want? It seems like they just don't want to bother with us."
Someone has been planning a conflict, Shen Yuerong frowned and looked at that person with a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"If the people in the court really don't want to care about you, then why do they have to lock you up instead of just killing you in one go?"
Shen Yuerong's question instantly made those who were emotionally unstable become eerily quiet.
She cast her eagle-like eyes on the troublemakers, then turned around, leaned over to his ear, and whispered quietly, "Let someone check the backgrounds of those troublemakers."
He nodded and asked Fang Mu to go down and check.
"You have come a long way, experienced countless hardships, and lost so much before finally setting foot on this land of the capital. I know what you want is fairness and a home of your own. I promise you that as long as you are willing to cooperate with our work during this period of time, I will be able to give you your home and the so-called fairness."
Except for those few people who deliberately caused trouble, all the others came from Jiangnan.
They are eager to return to their homeland and hope to live a happy life as before.
Shen Yuerong saw that their expressions were moved, so she took advantage of the situation and pursued them.
"You are all just venting your resentment, which will not change what is happening now. It is better for you to cooperate with us and let us make sure that you are healthy. This will not only be responsible for your health, but also for your future preparations for meeting the king."
The people of Jiangnan looked at her, then nodded and returned to their own seats.
Shen Yuerong knew deeply that she could not continue to let them go, with most people entangled together like this.
Otherwise, even if there are only one or two people with hidden diseases in the crowd, it will end up harming everyone.
"Everyone, I understand your feelings, and I understand your hard work and your determination to support each other along the way. But if you want this to succeed quickly, please step forward if you feel unwell or know that you have been infected with the disease."
Now we can only persuade them to admit that they have hysteria.
Otherwise, even if they start to treat these innocent people, they will easily transfer the toxins to themselves.
"I have a fever."
An unknown amount of time had passed, but just when Shen Yuerong thought that all her efforts tonight would be in vain, a man stood up.
He looked at his wife and daughter who were following him with some reluctance, but he walked out resolutely.
Along the way, anyone with something related to the plague would be burned to death. He was reluctant to leave his wife and daughter, but he also knew that if he continued to stay with them, he would probably infect them with his disease.
"Anyone else?"
Chi Mu had always stood behind Shen Yuerong and this time gave her the choice to make the decision.
There were about a hundred people in the team one after another, and more than a dozen of them were suffering from some illnesses.
"First of all, thank you all for your sincerity. At least I don't have to ask someone to investigate again. Secondly..."
"No! I beg you, don't take him away!"
At some point, a rich man had already touched Shen Yuerong's side. If Fang Mu had not reacted in time, the man would have been lying on top of her.
"Please, my family... only has my old man, please don't burn him, just let him... wait to die quietly."
When the old woman said this, her eyes were on an elderly man in the crowd. I guess this was the old man she was talking about.
Shen Yuerong pointed at the old grandfather.
"You mean him?"
The old woman nodded, her eyes full of reluctance, "Please, spare him."
"Let him come up."
Shen Yuerong took out a face towel from the medicine box beside her and put it on her face, then asked people to keep their distance, even Chi Mu. They all took two steps back before letting the other person come forward.
Her hand was on the old man's wrist, but his expression was calm.
"I know I won't live long, but I just feel..."
Shen Yuerong made a gesture to keep quiet and listened to the pulse quietly. After a few hours, she wrote a prescription on a piece of paper.
"Ask someone to help me go to the capital and get a few more prescriptions. Also...ask someone to buy all the herbs on this piece of paper in the capital. No matter how many there are or how high the price is, I want them all."
Shen Yuerong handed the prescription she wrote for the old man to Taohua, and handed another prescription she wrote to Fang Mu.
"Hurry up."
The two of them turned around and rode away on horseback. Shen Yuerong took off her veil, and Chi Mu looked at her with some concern.
But she squatted down very gently, looking at the old grandfather who looked ready to die, "Grandpa, you are just too tired from traveling these days and didn't get enough rest. In addition... you must have been caught in the cold wind, so you caught a cold. It's not an epidemic. I have asked someone to go to the capital to get medicine. It is medicine to drive away the cold. When it is brought back... please take it one by one."
If there really was an epidemic among them, it would have spread long ago. It is impossible that none of them are sick at this moment.
Therefore, most of what they were carrying should not be considered epidemic diseases. At most, they were just fevers caused by the sudden drop in temperature and the cold wind.
"I'm really not..."
The old man obviously couldn't accept himself. He was really as healthy as before and just had a fever due to the cold.
Shen Yuerong nodded, "I came out in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring any expensive medicine. Before the prescription comes, grandpa should drink more hot water to warm up his body."
After Shen Yuerong gave the order, she ordered someone to help the man down.
Two or three more people came later, and Shen Yuerong also helped analyze their conditions, but fortunately, most of them had a fever due to the rain, not because of the epidemic.
However, the environment here is too harsh and not suitable for their cultivation.
