Chapter 61 The sky is bright, the sun is clear, everything is prosperous and the people are safe

The young doctor also saw that person.

He curled his lips and said tactfully, "Junior Sister, please keep an eye on him. I can't control this giant Buddha. I'll be leaving now."

Min Shian’s first reaction was anger.

There is also a mixture of strange emotions that are hard to explain.

She walked quickly to the sycamore tree and said, "It's a cool night. Has your fever subsided?"

After he finished speaking, Min Shian looked up. His face had returned to normal a little, with a hint of water on his thin lips. Her gaze paused, and the kiss she wasn't sure if it could be considered a kiss appeared in front of her again.

She looked away and lowered her eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Your Highness, it's alright."

Song Sheng chuckled, his voice still hoarse. He usually spoke slowly, and now it was even slower because of the discomfort in his throat. It was like a feather gently passing through his heart, and it had a different meaning when it fell into Min Shian's ears.

"I just heard that His Highness has been busy in Suiyang City for days, and Sang Yancheng hasn't had time to go and take care of it personally."

Min Shi'an instantly became alert. She lowered her voice, frowned, and threatened, "Just focus on recuperating and don't get involved in anything you shouldn't be involved in. I've sent Xie Hemiao to keep an eye on Sang Yancheng."

"Your Highness, I will go."

Min Shian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and patiently explained, "Your fever hasn't subsided yet, and your body has been severely injured. If you continue to exert yourself, are you going to die?"

"Xie Hemiao is watching over Sangyan City, so you don't need to mention it again."

Then she half-dragged and half-tugged the silent Song Sheng back to the tent, and said with some concern before leaving: "I will send someone to take care of you later, don't run around."

Min Shi'an sent an aide to Jiangzhou Mu to look after him. The aide was a weak scholar, and was worried that he could not help much. He quickly said that he would take good care of Lord Song and would not let Lord Song have any accidents.

She didn't say anything more. The aide was smart and naturally understood what she meant.

After being busy for a while, Min Shian went to inspect the tents in the rear, comforting the restless and panicked people, and even told them a few interesting parts of the storybooks he had heard before. This slightly eased the cloud that shrouded everyone's hearts.

In the past few days, she has done everything personally, from flood rescue to disaster relief to epidemic control. The people have seen it all. The rumor spread everywhere in Suiyang City that Princess Yongkang is kind and loves the people, and is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.

Just as Min Shian was about to take a break, Chuntao came in with a little girl and said, "Master, the Tenth Miss is here."

"Xiao Shi, Shiyou, where are the medicinal herbs? How are you? Are you okay along the way?" Min Shi'an put on his coat, took Zhong Shiyou's hand and asked.

Zhong Shishi smiled brightly and replied, "Sister Shi'an, are you still worried about me doing things?"

"The herbs are outside, and the little doctor is counting them. I'm fine, Sister Shi An."

After saying that, Zhong Shiyou broke free from her tightly grasped hand, then lifted up the hem of her skirt with both hands and spun around in front of her eyes, saying, "Look, Sister Shi'an, I'm fine!"

Min Shian tapped her forehead with his knuckles and said, "Let Chuntao take you to have a good rest later. I'll go outside to check the herbs first."

"Sister Shi An, go get busy!"

Min Shian turned and walked out of the tent, striding towards the door of the command center.

There were about twenty or thirty large boxes neatly stacked on the ground, and the young doctor was bending over to check the medicinal materials inside.

The young doctor who heard the noise turned around and saw that it was her. He smiled and said, "Wow, the helper that Junior Sister has found is really awesome!"

"Now we have enough medicinal materials, and the people can be cured of the epidemic!"

"Junior Sister, find a few more people to help me. I will go and make the medicine later!"

Min Shian looked at the box full of medicinal herbs. They were dry and crispy, and he could tell at a glance that they were herbs that had been processed with exquisite techniques.

She felt a little relieved and finally got a short break. Now everything was ready. After just a few days, the epidemic would be cured and disappear without a trace.

But the King of Hell is cruel, and many people are bound to die.

Min Shian took a short nap, about an hour later. When she opened her eyes, they were clear and there was no sign that she had just woken up from sleep, as if she had never fallen asleep.

She turned over and got out of bed, feeling refreshed and walking towards the little doctor's tent.

Min Shian has always had restless sleep, so for her, a short rest can make her look radiant, which is better than other people taking several hours to rest.

As soon as she stepped out of the tent, she smelled the strong smell of medicine, bitter with a hint of grass fragrance, which made her sneeze unexpectedly.

Large clouds of smoke continued to rise above the northwest part of the tent, not far from the direction where the little doctor was.

Min Shian wondered how many furnaces this guy had set up to create such a big scene.

She strode over and through the gaps between the layers of tents, she vaguely saw many medicine jars and constantly changing human figures.

When he saw the whole picture, Min Shian was still a little shocked.

Dozens of boxes were opened and placed on a flat ground. Several of them were already empty and were placed at the back.

Except for the small area used to place the boxes, everywhere she looked, there were simple racks made of firewood. Small flames were burning, smoking the dark medicine stove. People were huddled together, with their heads bent and their backs hunched, fanning themselves with tree bark. At first glance, it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women.

The curls of smoke gathered in the air, forming a sea of fog.

The young doctor, dressed in a silver-white robe with a light blue coat, stood out in the gray crowd. Min Shian saw him almost instantly.

It happened that the young doctor stood up and didn't know what to do. He also saw her. The young doctor smiled and waved at her.

Min Shian nodded in response.

She had come to check on the progress, and it looked like she had nothing to worry about at the moment. The young doctor was usually a bit unruly, but when it came to serious matters, he was extremely meticulous.

The cooked medicine was brought out immediately. Since most of the healthy people were in the tents, the medicine was delivered to each household by a special person.

Watching everyone making the medicine in an orderly manner under the guidance of the young doctor, Min Shian stayed for a moment and left only after confirming that there were no other problems.

Before he had taken a few steps, the aide came running towards him in a panic. When he was still a few steps away, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground, wailing, "Your Highness, Lord Song... he... he... he... he..."

"He's gone!"

Min Shian stopped, her eyes darkening a little, but she did not get angry in front of outsiders. She said calmly, "I understand. You can go down."

She paused, then continued, "Go ahead and ask the young doctor if he's short of help."

"Thank you, Princess. I respectfully send you off."

Min Shian ignored him. In the face of the disaster, manpower was already in short supply. As long as he did not commit a capital crime, she would not investigate further if she could uncover it.

For example, this time, although she said that Song Yanhao was not allowed to go to Sangyan City, she knew in her heart that Song Yanhao would definitely go.

If he wanted to go, even she couldn't stop him.

Song Yanxuan was the most complicated young man from a noble family she had ever met.

He hid himself so deeply that she never really saw him clearly.

Min Shian left the command center and asked several questions in Suiyang City. As she expected, Song Chen also went to Sangyan City.

After she confirmed Song Yanxuan's whereabouts, she had no time to care about too much. Although many people died of the epidemic in Suiyang City, the overall situation was still under control, and she was still needed to preside over the overall situation.

Especially after the young doctor made the medicine, the first group of people who drank it showed improvement in their condition within an hour. It can be said to be a panacea.

There must not be any mistakes in the process of delivering the medicine, so this is what she will focus on next.

The next day.

Min Shian carried a wooden barrel full of medicine in both hands and came to the first village in the west. She shook her sore arms and decided to ask Song Yanxuan to teach her some martial arts secrets after returning to Beijing.

She didn't know why, despite having so many masters teaching her, her martial arts skills were only barely adequate, but her lightness skills and footwork were better than their masters.

“Knock knock knock—”

She had just knocked on the door when, with a creak, the shabby but clean wooden door in front of her was instantly opened.

"cough……"

"I thank Your Highness the Princess."

Min Shian scooped out the medicine and poured it into the bowl held by the other person, saying, "I wish you a speedy recovery."

The man raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He knelt down and bowed deeply, saying in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Your Highness! I wish you all the best for your words."

Min Shian waved his hand, asked him to stand up, and then hurried to the next house with the wooden bucket.

She repeated this process until both barrels were empty, and then she returned to the command center.

"Master, an epidemic has been discovered in the village on the easternmost side of Sangyan City, right next to Suiyang City. However, Lord Taichang's men and Lord Song were well prepared, so it has not spread."

Chuntao's face was full of fatigue, but her voice was still calm, just like usual.

Min Shian nodded and said, "That's good."

"Everything is now coming to a close. We must not let our guard down at this point. Give orders to everyone to be on high alert."

"Victory is imminent, and no mistakes can be allowed."

Chuntao bowed and said yes, then retreated.

Min Shian's eyes were determined. She picked up the wooden barrel and went to get medicine from the young doctor, preparing for her next trip to deliver medicine.

Fortunately, hard work paid off. Five days later, all the people suffering from the plague in Suiyang City and Sangyan City had recovered, and the houses destroyed by the flood were also repaired.

On the night Min Shi'an and Song Sheng returned to Beijing, the streets were brightly lit and the sound of firecrackers filled the sky, marking their departure. The people of both cities, whether in their homes or in the streets, knelt in deep respect and silently bid them farewell.

Historical records:

In the 38th year of Tianchong's reign, heavy rains hit the south of the Yangtze River, causing the lake to swell rapidly and causing severe flooding. Princess Ji and her minister Zisheng worked together to control the flood, and after more than a month, they finally broke the deadlock.

Later, a great plague struck, resulting in countless casualties, and Sheng also fell ill. Princess Ji remained calm in the face of danger, and as soon as Sheng recovered, he came out to assist Princess Ji in treating the disease. In less than half a month, the plague was quelled.

Sheng means bright, when things are prosperous and people are at peace, and warmth fills the nine continents.

Ji means the rain has stopped, the sky is clear and the sun is bright, and the world is peaceful.
