Yun Duoduo's head was spinning and she was unable to think straight.

Never mind, let's talk about it later.

"Ningxiang, take good care of Granny Xue. I have other matters to attend to and must return to the palace."

Yun Duoduo took another big gulp of water, and the cool breeze blowing in from the window helped her wake up a bit.

"I'll have someone send the medicine over. Don't worry, Granny Xue is much better now."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Ningxiang was so happy that she shed tears.

[Great! The sect leader's life has finally been saved!]

"Thank you very much, Young Master. I knew your medical skills were superb!"

Zheng Ningxiang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yun Duoduo turned her head away; she couldn't stand seeing others cry.

Yun Duoduo looked at the inn's decor, which consisted of only a few simple pieces of furniture: "Since you're in the capital, staying in an inn isn't a good solution."

"Hmm, let's get them a house. They can't always meet at the inn."

"Ningxiang..."

[I hope I didn't call you by the wrong name?]

Seeing that Zheng Ningxiang's expression was normal, Yun Duoduo asked, "What kind of house does Mother-in-law want to live in? Describe it for me!"

Yun Duoduo plans to find a house for the two of them to live in.

Zheng Ningxiang looked at Granny Xue on the bed: "The Pavilion Master has always wanted to live a peaceful and leisurely life."

"The master once said that he wanted a small river in the backyard, two big geese and a duck in the yard, and behind the duck, there would always be a few ducklings waddling around, which was very cute."

A faint smile appeared on Zheng Ningxiang's face.

"Let's dry lots of bright red crabapples and green cypress leaves in the backyard."

"Okay, I understand."

Listening to Zheng Ningxiang's description, Yun Duoduo secretly made a note of it.

...

After saying goodbye to Zheng Ningxiang, Yun Duoduo left Penglai Inn and returned to the clinic. She was relieved to see Xiaoying and Axiang getting up, still sleepy.

"Huh, how did I end up lying on the ground?"

Xiaoying looked at the ground in surprise.

Fortunately, the two of them collapsed inside the house. If they had slept outside in the freezing cold all night, they probably would have lost their lives.

"Aunt Xiang, let's go back to the palace."

The two exchanged a few words with Xiaoying and then returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Yun Duoduo instructed A Xiang and Xiao Liuzi to purchase a villa in the suburbs of the capital.

"The location of the villa must be quiet."

Yun Duoduo described the requirements for the villa.

"Hmm, let me think about it."

She recalled Zheng Ningxiang's description: "After finding a good villa, you go and buy two fat geese."

"Put a few ducks in the open space of the villa, and then put some shelves in the open space of the backyard of the villa. On the shelves, put some winnowing baskets, straw baskets and dried Chinese medicine, such as crabapples, arborvitae leaves, licorice, jujubes and the like."

“Yes, Princess.” Ah Xiang nodded.

"You remember what I said, right?"

Yun Duoduo looked at Xiao Liuzi with some suspicion. He was often used by Jin Zhuangzhuang to test drugs, and Yun Duoduo was very worried about whether his head had been damaged.

"I remember, Princess, my brain is very sharp!" Xiao Liuzi patted his chest and assured her.

"Haha, okay, right, find another big tree, put a rocking chair under it, and put an umbrella next to the rocking chair, do you understand what I mean?"

Yun Duoduo spoke while gesturing.

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Liu silently recited Yun Duoduo's request in his heart.

"Okay, go do it."

After giving her instructions, Yun Duoduo returned to her bedroom to rest.

...

The next morning, Yun Duoduo went to the Imperial Medical Bureau after having breakfast.

Upon seeing Princess You Rong arrive, the staff of the Imperial Medical Bureau hurriedly bowed and greeted her, asking, "Is Physician Xu here?"

"Your Excellency, take the princess there."

A physician led Yun Duoduo to a cabinet filled with medical books and pointed to Physician Xu, who was flipping through ancient texts.

"Uncle Xu".

Yun Duoduo called out softly.

Xu Zhengzheng stroked his beard, pondering the prescriptions for preventing colds and epidemics in ancient books. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw Yun Duoduo. His eyelids twitched.

This Ninth Princess may look young, but her mind is incredibly complex and calculating.

He was worried that the princess might come to ask him about his mother, the Hibiscus Palace, and the oleander again.

"But last time, regarding the matter of the Ninth Princess's mother, I've already said everything I could."

What brings the princess here today, so early in the morning?

Yun Duoduo sensed Xu Zheng's worry. She smiled sweetly and told him to relax: "Uncle Xu, there's no need to worry. I'm here today to talk about the cold."

Yun Duoduo blinked her eyes.

"In a few days, my grandmother and I will be going to Shu. My father will be in the palace and will need Xu Bo to take care of him."

She was not in the palace because she was really worried about her father's safety.

"Your Highness is too kind. It is my duty to take care of His Majesty's health."

Xu Zheng dared not accept such high praise. He quickly put down his book and gestured for Yun Duoduo to sit down and speak slowly.

Yun Duoduo pulled a small stool over from next to Xu Zheng and sat down.

"Uncle Xu, winter is the season when it is easiest to catch a cold."

“We need to prepare in advance. I know that the Imperial Medical Academy will formulate corresponding countermeasures and plans every winter.”

"However, this year, Duoduo feels the situation is more serious."

When she was providing free medical consultations at the clinic, many patients caught colds. Moreover, when she asked Aunt Sheng to buy medicinal herbs, she discovered that the prices of herbs such as honeysuckle and licorice had skyrocketed.

"Uncle Xu, is there still a lot of medicinal herbs left in the medicine storehouse?"

Xu Zheng called over a junior physician, who briefly explained the stock of medicinal herbs in the warehouse.

Yun Duoduo nodded: "For example, if there are plenty of medicinal herbs such as honeysuckle, forsythia, dandelion, and violet, quickly prepare medicines to treat colds and distribute them to the people for free."

Xu Zheng nodded, understanding what Yun Duoduo meant.

"If anyone in the palace catches a cold, please isolate them as soon as possible."

"isolation?"

Xu Zheng and the little physician beside him looked at Yun Duoduo with confusion, not quite understanding what she meant.

"That is, to gather sick people in one place, and not allow them to enter or leave without permission, so that they can be isolated and treated in a unified manner to prevent the infection from spreading to more people."

Xu Zheng hesitated, as the palace had never done this before.

People who are quarantined are definitely unwilling.

“Especially the concubines in the palace, who have the closest contact with the Emperor, if they catch a cold, they must be watched over by officials and soldiers. No one inside can leave without permission, and no one outside can enter without permission.”

Listening to Yun Duoduo's words, Xu Zheng felt that the requirements were a bit too strict.

"Is this a bit too strict?"

The young physician standing beside Xu Zheng asked timidly.

"Uncle Xu, I know this might sound a bit inappropriate."

"However, Father's safety is the most important."

"Oh, right..."?
