From the conversation between Su Muxi and Jia Ren at the city gate, to the words spoken by the yamen runner who had just thrown away the latrine bucket.

Tao Rong became increasingly certain of his previous guess.

The so-called plague in the city is not a plague at all, but a deliberate poisoning by someone!

Now that Princess Yong'an knows the truth, she certainly won't enter the city unprepared.

In addition to Su Xing's sudden escape from prison, he was certain that there must be someone arranged by Princess Yong'an in this city!

Now is the perfect opportunity to show yourself and win the favor of Princess Yong'an!

Therefore, Tao Rong showed no sign of reluctance; on the contrary, he even had a hint of excitement on his face.

Even with Tao Rong leading the way, not many people were willing to obediently hand over their medicinal herbs this time.

Those common people have worthless lives; death might be a kind of relief for them.

But they are different. They have abundant family wealth and enviable backgrounds. Their future is bright and promising.

But I absolutely cannot die in a place like this!

Just as Qiao Ziming was about to order his men to openly rob him, Su Muxi grabbed his arm first.

"Don't be impulsive. We must not cause any conflict now. Let me think of another way."

Although a foul odor permeated the surrounding air, Qiao Ziming could still faintly smell a delicate fragrance when Su Muxi approached.

Looking at Su Muxi's exposed eyebrows and listening to her gentle voice, Qiao Ziming felt a little distracted and couldn't help but slowly bend down and get closer to Su Muxi.

"Given the current situation, what can you do? In my opinion, we should just take these people into custody."

Qiao Ziming spoke softly, and although he only wanted to state the facts, his words carried a hint of disdain for Su Muxi.

Su Muxi frowned, "If you dare to have these young masters detained, Jia Ren will have a reason to directly mobilize the soldiers at the city gate. Then none of us will be able to escape!"

In short, don't act impulsively. I'll figure out the rest.

Liang Juan, who was not far away, saw the two of them talking together.

A flash of disdain crossed his eyes.

She's pregnant, yet she's still shamelessly seducing men.

Su Muxi, this Princess Consort of Yong'an, is truly despicable!

Liang Juan suppressed the jealousy in her eyes, picked up a large teapot, and walked over to the busy yamen runners.

"Brother Cha, you've worked hard. Have some water; it's all clean."

Although everyone was exhausted and irritable, who could resist the advances of a delicate and beautiful woman?

But just as they were about to reach out to take the large bowl, they discovered that their hands were covered in dirt.

Liang Juan showed no sign of disgust and held up the bowl full of water directly in front of one of the constables.

"Brother Cha, it's alright. I've been a servant before, and I've done all sorts of dirty and tiring work."

The constable smiled and took the bowl, drinking the water in large gulps, feeling his fatigue lessen considerably.

He smacked his lips and asked in confusion, "Why does this water taste sweet to me?"

Someone nearby joked, "Of course the water the girl gives you is sweet!"

But after the man finished drinking, he immediately showed a look of doubt.

"Huh? This water is really sweet!"

Liang Juan's hands were busy as she poured water for the others, saying with a smile, "The weather is so hot these days, everyone must have sweated a lot, and after so many days of fatigue, you must not have eaten properly."

Nowadays, so many people have difficulty even getting out of bed, and they all rely on the help of the police officers to take care of them. So anyone can get exhausted, but the police officers cannot afford to get exhausted.

So I added some nectar to the water. It wasn't much, but it gave the brothers a touch of sweetness, and that made me happy!

When Liang Juan said this, it actually made the noses of these yamen runners feel a little sore.

After more than a month of hard work, although they had heard words of thanks and people had said they had worked hard, none of them were as heartwarming as Liang Juan's simple words.

The slightly sweet water, in particular, made them feel that it was even more delicious than aged wine.

Looking at Liang Juan again, her wisps of hair were stuck to her face, her cheeks were covered in sweat, her lips were slightly chapped, her once clean and tidy clothes were now disheveled, and there was a noticeable burn on her exposed wrist.

This is clearly a recent burn!

Liang Juan has fair and delicate skin, and her hands have hardly any calluses, so her claim that she has done all sorts of dirty and tiring work is probably a lie.

This is clearly a high-class maid who only knows how to serve the young master by dressing and washing him!

The constables looked at Liang Juan with mixed feelings.

One of them couldn't help but say, "Girl, don't worry about us, go and rest over there."

"How can that be? We came to Fukang County to help. There are so many people infected with the disease that I can't possibly help everyone. But delivering some water to the brothers is something I can do!"

Liang Juan spoke with a serious expression, which contrasted sharply with the others.

Those who came to help in Fukang County were initially full of enthusiasm and energy, but now most of them have stopped what they were doing and started looking for a place to rest.

Even those who are supposed to be helping are just putting on an act; in reality, they are slacking off from time to time.

No one can truly empathize, so from the beginning, they didn't expect much help from these people.

All I hope for is to get enough medicine and food so that the people of the city don't die of illness or starvation.

Therefore, they turned a blind eye to these people's brief assistance, as long as they didn't cause trouble.

I never expected there to be such a kind and practical person as Liang Juan.

Then Liang Juan laughed self-deprecatingly, "I am just a worthless life. After being driven away by Princess Yong'an, if it weren't for my young master taking me in, I would probably have starved to death on the street long ago. So I guess I was spared. If I can help everyone in a little way, maybe I can be reborn into a better family in my next life."

At this point, she looked at Su Muxi with envy in her eyes, "I don't ask to be as rich and noble as the princess, or to have someone to protect me. As long as I have parents and am not forced to be a slave, I will be content."

Although Liang Juan didn't elaborate, she successfully drew the attention of the constables to Su Muxi.

Originally, I didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Muxi having a group of guards protecting her, but now it seems really jarring!

One person needs more than a dozen people to protect them.

Why is Princess Yong'an's life so precious!

And their lives are just worthless?

The constables, who had been suppressing their feelings for over a month, now felt increasingly resentful.
