Not only that, this princess even made him bathe and change clothes, and forcibly smeared very strong liquor on his body.

"Could you describe to me what symptoms those who died from the plague had?"

Detective Huang was inwardly complaining about everyone's distrust of him when he suddenly heard Li Youran's question and couldn't help but look up at her.

He was momentarily stunned, almost forgetting that staring directly at a distinguished person was against etiquette.

Li Youran was beautiful with fair skin and an air of noble dignity. Detective Huang had never seen such a beautiful person before, and this young girl was very composed despite her young age.

When he saw Li Youran mention the word "plague," he was not as fearful as others; instead, he remained very calm.

"Reporting to the princess, most people suffering from the plague have fever and cough. After removing the corpses, their livers are hardened and purple. Apart from that, there are no other symptoms."

Detective Huang initially remembered Li Youran's identity and spoke somewhat reservedly. However, when discussing the patient's symptoms, Detective Huang seemed to have forgotten Li Youran's existence. He described the patient's characteristics in great detail, from the outside to the inside, from top to bottom, leaving nothing out.

How did you take precautions?

Seeing that Detective Huang was very knowledgeable about the patients' conditions, Li Youran knew that he also understood the dangers of the epidemic.

Despite this, Detective Huang remained uninfected and was quite confident in his protective measures, so he asked curiously.

"Your Highness, I made the headgear, foot covers, and outer garment from soft cotton fabric."

Upon hearing Detective Huang's words, Li Youran suddenly realized why she hadn't thought of such a good idea. Soft cloth is clothing made from the finest cotton threads in the world, and it is extremely delicate.

"So how did you deal with these clothes?"

“The little man specially built a pot and puts his clothes in it to boil every day.”

Upon hearing Detective Huang's words, Li Youran couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. This person was much smarter than she had imagined. While others were still unaware of any protective measures, he had already learned how to make protective suits and even how to make simple disinfectants.

"Protect His Highness the Second Prince. The rest of you, charge with me!"

As he gave the orders, the general led the remaining soldiers straight toward the bandits who were charging down from the mountain.

Just then, one by one, the bandits fell down and never got up again.

General Huang had never seen such a formation before. After a moment's thought, he realized that the bandits must have fallen into someone's ambush. Perhaps there were other bandits behind them, like the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole lurking behind. So he became extremely vigilant and dealt with the situation with great care.

"You audacious thief, why don't you show yourself?"

Only about twenty bandits remained out of the original dozens. Although this was still more than the number of people in General Huang's party, it was not a problem to deal with them. They quickly took down the remaining bandits.

Just then, a man carrying a torch came down from the mountain. General Huang, looking wary, shouted loudly at the man.

"My name is Wu Yong!"

Wu Yong shouted loudly.

Upon hearing of Wu Yong's prowess, the Second Prince knew that he was the son of the Duke of Protectorate.

The Duke of Huguo's mansion and the Prime Minister's mansion have an excellent relationship. They usually rely on His Highness the Third Prince. Why did Wu Yong come to rescue the prince today?

The Second Prince frowned slightly, but then regained his composure.

"Thank you for your help, Young Master Wu."

As the Second Prince spoke, he smiled slightly at Wu Yong and nodded.

"It was just a small favor, Your Highness, you flatter me." Wu Yong said, looking around but not finding Li Youran.

"Your Highness, where is Miss Li?"

Wu Yong knew that asking such a question was too presumptuous, but he was very worried about Li Youran's safety, and he couldn't care less about that now.

We went our separate ways.

The second prince did not elaborate, but only gave a general answer.

Wu Lei wasn't stupid. He could tell from the situation that the Second Prince was wary of him. But that was normal, since the Duke of Huguo's mansion had never been on the Second Prince's side.

"If Young Master Wu doesn't mind, please come with us. We might just run into Miss Li."

Seeing that Wu Yong looked slightly disappointed but didn't say much, the Second Prince couldn't help but feel more admiration for Wu Yong.

Despite his young age, he was already adept at reading people and speaking with great tact. He was indeed quite different from the others in the Guardian Kung Fu, as Madam Wu had explained at the Shang residence. The Second Prince's Consort agreed to the marriage because she recognized Wu Yong's talent.

Today, Wu Yong made a special trip to see his sister Li Youran, and the Second Prince couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably disposed towards Wu Yong.

He felt that Li Youran would be a good match for Wu Yong. Thinking of this, the Second Prince's head began to ache again. If the plague were resolved, the matter of bestowing a marriage upon him would likely be discussed immediately.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Wu Yong assumed that the Second Prince disliked him, so he didn't say much and just hummed in agreement.

"The Second Prince's Consort, the Second Prince, and their entourage have arrived."

Until late at night, the Second Prince's Consort and Li Youran waited anxiously in the county government office. Suddenly, they heard someone come to report, so they hurriedly went out to greet them.

"Why did you only come back at this time? Do you know how worried I was about you?"
