Chapter 70: Human or Ghost
Well, His Highness is still outside and there is no treatment, so at least we should protect His Highness first.
"I've asked a few people to follow you, Princess, to protect you. Do you mind, Princess?"
"Thank you, Butler Cai, for your concern."
Butler Cai ordered someone to bring sachets and veils fumigated with mugwort and gave them to Rongyu to wear. He then gave him a few serious instructions before letting him leave the house.
As Rongyu walked away, Butler Cai waved his hand and said, "My life is in your hands."
After Rong Yu left the house safely, he saw that the once prosperous and bustling streets were now filled with dying patients.
There are also many people busy taking care of those who are more seriously ill. This scene reminds him of the epidemic in 20 years.
Although it's not a scene of someone lying on the street, one can imagine the scene in the hospital.
Many short videos have also been posted.
But he was lucky. He was born when the country was strong and had the best medical equipment and medical staff.
Unlike now, there is a shortage of manpower, backward medical technology, and most importantly, incompetent leadership.
"Princess, we should find His Highness as soon as possible and go back quickly. It's too dangerous here." The servant behind her reminded.
Rong Yu came back to his senses and walked forward.
The further we went, the more people there were, and the condition seemed to be getting more serious.
This time I came out for Ye Chenyin, but at this moment I was only thinking about Ye Chenyin.
Rong Yu stopped and took out a prescription from his pocket and said to the person behind him, "Go and give this to Butler Cai and ask him to prepare the medicine according to this prescription and boil more and send it over."
He originally wanted to put on an act and recite the prescription in public so that these people would think he was very capable and trust him more.
But looking at the situation before us, we really can't wait any longer. If we can make the medicine quickly, the people will feel better.
The servant hurried back with the prescription, and Rongyu stopped moving forward and went in to help.
Tents were set up along the street, and hundreds of tents were filled with patients, who were being carried in and out.
Rongyu took out the medicine for Ye Chenyin and fed it to the patient.
Although they are curious about what they are given to eat, they don't ask too many questions.
If you will die whether you eat or not, you might as well try your chance to stay alive.
"Uncle, you'll feel better after taking this medicine. You'll feel better soon."
Rongyu fed and comforted them at the same time, and only managed to feed a dozen people one by one.
Then someone stopped him.
"Who are you? What did you give them to eat?"
A female voice, very pleasant to hear.
Rongyu turned around and saw a woman in white with her face covered.
But he recognized who she was at a glance.
"I gave them medicine to temporarily suppress the symptoms so that they wouldn't feel so uncomfortable." Rong Yu said truthfully.
Fu Yishang frowned. The voice sounded so familiar, it must be someone she knew.
Fu Yishang looked at the person opposite her seriously, those eyes...
It was him. It was because of him that her second brother was killed by King Jing.
She will never forget these eyes until her death.
But... Fu Yishang suddenly realized, took two steps back, and her beautiful eyes were a little panicked.
Isn't he dead? Why is he here?
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Fu Yishang's voice trembled slightly, as if she was about to cry.
A man who had been dead for five months was standing in front of her.
Impossible, absolutely impossible, it definitely can't be him.
"What are you talking about, Miss Fu? How could such a ghost come out in broad daylight?" Rong Yu chuckled.
I won’t scare you to death.
After saying this, Rong Yu ignored her and continued to feed the patient medicine.
Fu Yishang was afraid, but more curious. There was no way someone who had been dead for five months could be resurrected.
But she didn't believe that they looked so much alike.
The two thoughts made her more and more curious, and even overwhelmed the fear in her heart.
She wanted to go up and remove the veil from his face to see clearly who was scaring her.
But I didn’t dare to go.
At this moment, Ye Chenyuan walked over, called out "Yishang", and was startled.
"ah!"
Fu Yishang's scream attracted a lot of people's attention, and Ye Chenyuan stood there in a daze.
When Fu Yishang found out it was Ye Chenyuan, she hurried forward and grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?" Ye Chenyuan asked with concern.
Fu Yishang pointed at Rong Yu who was feeding him medicine and said, "I don't know if he is a human or a ghost."
Ye Chenyuan followed the finger and found that the back looked familiar. He quickly recognized it and called out with a smile, "Rong Yu?"
Hearing Ye Chenyuan calling Rongyu, Fu Yishang was completely shocked and stood there.
How is that possible? How could someone who had been dead for so long still be alive?
Her brother died because of him, her eldest brother returned to the border because of him, and now he is alive?
She didn't believe it. It must be someone with the same name, and they just happened to look a bit alike.
It can't be the same person.
Rongyu turned and walked towards them, Ye Chenyuan's eyes curved.
Fu Yishang took two steps back and hid behind Ye Chenyuan.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan." Rong Yu saluted Ye Chenyuan.
Ye Chenyuan was not used to seeing Rong Yu behave so politely. He raised his hand to help him up and said, "No need to be so polite."
"You haven't fully recovered yet, why are you coming out? Does King Jing agree to let you come out?" Ye Chenyuan asked.
"When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. His Highness has done his best, and as someone close to him, how could I be a coward?"
After saying this, Rong Yu admired herself.
Back in the Canyon of Kings, I hated people who argued the most. Now that I'm nitpicking, I really feel like I'm right.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Ye Chenyuan stopped talking and obviously agreed.
Rong Yu poured a pill from the bottle and handed it to Ye Chenyuan: "This is a medicine that can suppress the disease and also prevent it. Your Highness, please take one too."
Ye Chenyuan was doubtful and reached out to take it.
"Your Highness, don't take it," Fu Yishang reached out and pulled the medicine from Rong Yu's hand, saying, "Preventive medicines are all distributed uniformly by the Imperial Hospital. Rong Yu won't verify whether it's true or not. Even if it's true, he doesn't know any medical skills, so how could he have preventive medicine? People's hearts are not as good as they used to be. Your Highness should be cautious."
It is already dangerous now. King Jing is really ambitious. He is King Jing's man, so it is inevitable that he will harm King Yan for King Jing.
There would be no chance to regret by then, and her and her Fu family's lives would be over.
"Clothes!" Ye Chenyuan scolded in a low voice, his brows twisted into a knot.
Although he had doubts about where Rongyu's medicine came from, he knew Rongyu would not harm him.
If she really had bad intentions towards him, why would she recognize him and give him the pill in public?
It would not have been quicker to remove the veil from his face.
Ye Chenyuan was a little angry. Although they had an engagement on the surface, they were not finalized after all. During this period, both parties were free to marry.
It would be presumptuous to interfere with his decision at will.
Fu Yishang noticed that Ye Chenyuan was a little angry, and her arrogance instantly waned. She hurriedly explained, "I am also worried about the safety of His Highness."
Are these two people flirting in front of him?
It’s okay not to eat it, you can save one more person.
Rongyu ignored them and turned back to continue feeding the patient pills.
Fu Yishang stepped forward to stop them, standing in front of Rong Yu. "Where did you get these medicines? Have you asked the Imperial Hospital for an appraisal? Don't you know that using medicine without authorization is a taboo?"
Rong Yu understood Fu Yishang's feelings of questioning him, not knowing that he had a golden finger, and pitifully forgave her rudeness.
But is this woman really unable to speak properly? Is it that he understands her when she speaks properly, or is it that she just can't express herself?
You have such a stunningly beautiful face, why do you have to do things that are annoying?
"We'll know whether it works in a while. Miss Fu, this is just a temporary suppressant. It's not a life-saving drug. It just temporarily relieves the pain. What kind of evaluation do you need?"
There are pain-relieving, fever-reducing, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines everywhere in the pharmacy. When do they need to be identified?
It’s understandable that you don’t understand medical knowledge, but at least you should have common sense, right?
"That's hard to say. The situation is critical right now. There might be someone with ulterior motives."
Am I fucking sick? Why are I taking the lives of these ordinary people? Is this for leveling up?
"Here," Rong Yu handed the medicine in his hand to Fu Yishang and said, "Take it to the Imperial Hospital for identification to see if I am someone with ulterior motives."
I really don't want to waste time talking to her. She is so long-winded that she is not the heroine at all. She is clearly a supporting actress.
What on earth was the author thinking, giving the heroine such a personality?
"Host, the heroine is actually quite good. In the original novel, she was very dedicated during the plague. She stayed up all night to take care of the patients, and after the plague ended, she slept day after day."
'Why has it become like this now?'
"I guessed early on that it's possible that he's only like this to you, because your appearance has changed a lot. Fu Yishang blamed you for Fu Shisheng's death, and he's angry, so he can't help but target you."
Rong Yu remembered that in the original novel, Fu Yishang had a very good relationship with her brothers, especially Fu Shisheng. Because he had no work to do, he spent the most time with Fu Yishang, and Fu Shisheng doted on her very much.
Now that Fu Shisheng was killed by Ye Chenyin, it had something to do with him.
"Okay, okay, I don't hate her, I just kind of dislike her."
Rongyu handed the medicine to Fu Yishang, but Fu Yishang didn't take it.
Who knows what medicinal ingredients it is made of? If these people die after taking it and the medicine happens to be in her hands, she will never be able to wash herself clean even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
"Who knows if it's poison." Fu Yishang said unhappily.
"Yishang, Rongyu would never kill anyone. You may not agree with her, but you cannot slander her." Ye Chenyuan spoke out in support.
Rong Yu raised her head a little higher: You see, your fiancé is on my side.
"Your Highness, human hearts are unpredictable and cannot be trusted easily. Besides, Rong Yu has been dead for so long, how could he be resurrected? This person must be a fake. The people he wants to harm may not be these people, but you, Your Highness. Think about it, if something happens to you, who will benefit?"
Rong Yu's hand creaked as he heard this. He had been saving people with good intentions, but now he had actually caused problems.
It would be bad enough to frame him, but they even dared to frame Ye Chenyin!
When I killed Fu Shisheng, I should have killed her together with her, instead of letting her talk nonsense here.
Ye Chenyuan also felt that this was inappropriate and deliberately turned the topic to party disputes.
Ye Chenyuan said with a hint of anger, "Yishang, if you have any doubts about Rongyu, you can take the medicine and go find the imperial physician. Don't talk nonsense here."
Seeing Ye Chenyuan defending Rongyu so much, Fu Yishang felt very disappointed. How could His Highness not see through such an obvious plot?
