This is still what we can see, the current situation in Yanzhou.

What about those things that are unseen, far away in Kyoto?

It must be no more peaceful there than it is here.

The eldest princess is probably going crazy with worry.

Shen Huaixu lowered his head slightly, gently turned the pages of the book, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Previously, he had written numerous memorials pleading for the allocation of medicine and manpower, but to no avail.

Looking back now, those supplies must already be on their way.

The entire court worked together with one heart and one mind, each fulfilling their duties and making every effort to allocate resources.

Yanzhou will surely overcome the difficulties and usher in a new life.

West of the city.

The western part of the city remained tightly sealed off, and even when Gu Zhixing arrived, no one dared to let the people inside out without authorization.

If the epidemic were allowed to spread unchecked, none of those present would survive.

But compared to the officials who were busy and overwhelmed outside, Gu Zhixing appeared much calmer.

His gaze fell gently on Shen Jintang. She lay quietly on the bed, her face peaceful, and her complexion was much better than before. There was almost no sign of illness. If one did not know, one would definitely think that she was just asleep.

But she was suffering from an epidemic, and no one dared to take care of her, so Gu Zhixing had to do it all himself.

At first, Gu Zhixing felt a little awkward and clumsy when changing clothes and washing himself, but now he has gotten used to it and everything has become natural and smooth.

When Gu Zhixing changed Shen Jintang's clothes for the first time, he saw the scars on her back and felt a slight pang in his heart.

From then on, he applied the medicine to her every day.

Now, half a month later, the scars have finally improved, which has put his mind at ease.

Aside from taking care of Shen Jintang, Gu Zhixing spent the rest of his time reading.

With the imperial examinations approaching, he must not forget his goal.

Shen Jintang once said that she would wait for him to earn her an imperial title, and he always kept those words in his heart.
