Su Yi was startled when he heard that Mu Jin had a cure for the plague.

While Su Yi was surprised that Mu Jin had a cure for the epidemic, he overheard Mu Jin mentioning that it would take some time to treat the disease.

The people outside the city are lacking food and clothing. If they are not given assistance soon, they may not live to see medical treatment. It is hoped that he can find a way to get the court to help gather some supplies so that the people outside the city can have a better life.

Su Yi has been gathering supplies for the past few days. With the heavy snow and ice, and the epidemic causing shortages in various prefectures and counties, the amount of rice he can gather is only enough for the people outside the capital for about five days.

Today, Su Yi was discussing with someone in his study how to deliver this batch of supplies to the people outside the city when he didn't expect Mu Jin to come to the Prince Yi's mansion to find him.

"Will your remedy work for that epidemic?" Su Yi asked Mu Jin uncertainly.

"Of course it's useful," Mu Jin thought to himself. After Eleven's description of the plague patients' symptoms, Mu Jin was certain that it closely matched the global pandemic he had experienced in the present world.

Mu Jin had also been infected with the plague in the present world. At that time, she used a good prescription for treating the plague prescribed by a national medical master. She herself had also studied traditional Chinese medicine. If she was not 100% sure, she should be 80% or 90% sure.

Upon hearing Su Yi's question, Mu Jin replied.

“I had a serious illness last year in the valley, and the symptoms were similar to those of this epidemic. I happened to have been interested in medicine when I was young, and I had read a book on plagues. So, in the mountains, I collected a few herbs as described in the book and took them, and I was miraculously cured.”

Mu Jin rambled on about the origin of the prescription in front of Su Yi.

Su Yi couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Mu Jin's nonsense, but he thought that since Mu Jin was so sure that she had a prescription to cure the plague, no matter where it came from, it was a good thing.

Su Yi asked, "If I collect those supplies, what are your plans next?"

Mu Jin picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said to Su Yi, "Take up the proclamation, go to the palace to meet the Emperor, and persuade him to open the city gates to save the people."

"I am curious, how can you, as a woman, have such a magnanimous heart to save these people from danger?"

Mu Jin scoffed and said, "Just think of it as me asking the Emperor for a favor, for that thousand taels of silver."

Upon hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but reveal a lazy, smiling expression.

"I am curious, what kind of favor does Ah Jin desire?"

"That's none of King Yi's concern."

Mu Jin intervened in the disaster relief efforts because she knew what the plague represented. If the plague continued to spread and could not be controlled, she, her father, and her brothers would not be spared one day. Moreover, she did need to ask Su Mu for a personal favor.

Thinking of this, Mu Jin took out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve and handed them to Su Yi.

"I only have five thousand taels of silver on hand right now. With prices rising, I may not be able to buy much rice or grain, but it's better to buy as much as I can than nothing."

Su Yi accepted the five thousand taels of silver from Mu Jin with a smile, saying, "Ah Jin, what a generous gesture! I will definitely gather the first batch of supplies by Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow. Now it's up to you to persuade that old man in the palace to open the city gates and treat those people."

Having said that, without further ado, Mu Jin bid farewell to Su Yi.

Su Yi saw Mu Jin out and saw that Mu Jin wanted to walk towards the wall they had just left. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ah Jin, now that you've left my Yi Wang Mansion, you're not thinking of climbing over the wall again, are you?"

Mu Jin had this idea, and when she heard Su Yi say that, she smiled awkwardly.

"It's impolite to say that things should be done in a hurry and in a simple manner."

Seeing Mu Jin like this, Su Yi found it intriguing. He smiled and asked Mu Jin to follow him to the back of the Yunwang Mansion.

When saying goodbye to Mu Jin, Su Yi said to her, "I'll be waiting for your good news."

Mu Jin returned to the Prince Yun's residence, changed into her princess uniform, and then went to the city gate to take down the imperial edict and head towards the palace.

When Su Yuntian received the notice that Mu Jin had accepted the challenge and entered the palace to meet the emperor, Mu Jin was already kneeling in Su Mu's study.

"Your Majesty, the people inside and outside the city are suffering from the plague and urgently need medical treatment. I have a method that may resolve this crisis."

Su Mu frowned, looking at Mu Jin kneeling in front of her, and couldn't help but sneer, saying, "You're just a woman. Even the court hasn't come up with a solution yet. What brilliant ideas do you have? Go back. I won't blame you for your rash actions this time."

"Last year, I contracted an epidemic in the valley and was cured by a good remedy. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance, and to give the sick people outside the city a chance. Please allow me to speak."

Seeing Mu Jin's unwavering persistence, Su Mu's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. After a long silence, he turned to Mu Jin and asked, "What's your plan?"

Mu Jin answered calmly.

"Your Majesty, in order to treat the people suffering from the plague, I believe we should start from three aspects. First, we should set up temporary shelters both inside and outside the city."

Secondly, the people who fell ill and died were cremated and buried. In addition, the people who had fallen ill were isolated in another resettlement point, and the doctors were instructed to decoct the medicine according to my prescription and distribute it to the sick people to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Finally, strengthen epidemic prevention measures, strictly screen and quarantine people entering and leaving the city to prevent the plague from spreading back into the city.

Su Mu was taken aback upon hearing this. She hadn't expected Mu Jin, a woman, to have such insightful views. While she was still in a daze, Mu Jin continued.

"In addition, I will donate all the surplus grain and cloth of the General's Mansion to the people outside the city gate. Although the supplies are not much, I am willing to do my part. If the prescription is effective, I am willing to hand it over to the court for distribution to various prefectures and counties. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission."

Just then, the eunuch outside reported to Su Mu that Su Yuntian was requesting an audience.

After receiving Su Mu's permission, Su Yuntian strode into the Imperial Study.

"Your subject failed to discipline Ajin properly, allowing her to speak recklessly before Father. Please forgive me, Father."

Upon hearing Su Yuntian's words, Su Mu couldn't help but sneer.

“Your princess has never spoken recklessly to me. If you don’t believe me, have her repeat what she just said to you.”

After finishing speaking, Su Mu turned to Mu Jin and asked her to repeat the method of treating the plague to Su Yuntian.

After Mu Jin finished speaking, Su Yuntian was just as surprised as Su Mu had been. He hadn't expected that Mu Jin, a woman, would have such profound insights. Was this the same Mu Jin that he had avoided at all costs back then?

Seeing Su Yuntian's surprised expression, Su Mu smiled.

"Your Queen Consort has truly broadened my horizons. The methods she spoke of are the best I have ever heard of for treating the plague, and she even possesses a cure for the plague. Did you know that?"

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Su Yuntian looked even more shocked.

Su Mu smiled meaningfully.

"It seems you don't know."

Su Mu ignored Su Yuntian and said to Mu Jin, "If I successfully cure this plague using your method, what reward do you want?"

Upon hearing Su Mu's question, Mu Jin bowed and kowtowed to Su Mu again, saying, "This humble woman has only one wish, and that is to divorce Prince Yun!"
