"Are you deaf?" Xiao Chen's voice deepened, and his aura emanated from him.
Zhong Xing lowered his head and clasped his hands towards Nan Qianyue. "No doctor can cure the plague. Baichuan County has been quarantined, and those infected will be burned to death."
"Burned to death?!" Nan Qianyue was horrified by this cruel method.
Xiao Chen patted her shoulder reassuringly, "Nan Nan, this is how we've always handled it, otherwise the spread of the plague would have killed even more people."
"I was originally going to take you to try some local specialties from Shirakawa Prefecture, but now it seems..."
"I have several prescriptions for treating the plague!" Nan Qianyue said quickly.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and remained silent for the moment.
Ye Jian looked at her with horror, "Miss Nan, are you going to such lengths for a bite to eat?"
Nanqianyue was very serious. "I'm serious, Xiao Chen, you have to believe me."
...Shirakawa Prefecture was shrouded in smog and pollution.
On this day, two well-dressed people arrived at a place that everyone avoided.
The man wore a deep purple robe, and the woman wore a moon-colored dress. Although their mouths and noses were covered, their beautiful appearances were still easily discernible.
"Nan Nan, have you seen their symptoms clearly?" Xiao Chen held her tightly, afraid that some of the mad people might bump into her.
Nanqianyue nodded, "Let's go directly to the county government office."
The county magistrate personally greeted him at the entrance of the yamen, saying, "This humble official pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
It's easy to see the magistrate's fear; if something were to happen to His Highness the Crown Prince, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.
"Get up and prepare the brush and ink." Xiao Chen didn't say much, and pulled Nan Qianyue inside.
An hour later, Xiao Chen held the prescription written by Nan Qianyue, his expression somewhat unnatural.
Nanqianyue coughed lightly, "The words don't matter, as long as the content is understandable."
Xiao Chen chuckled softly, raised his hand, and instructed the county magistrate, "Make several copies of these prescriptions and prepare the medicine for the people free of charge according to the methods described."
The magistrate bowed and accepted the gift with both hands, saying, "Yes."
A few days later, the plague was finally brought under control.
The tense atmosphere surrounding the southward migration eased, and a relieved smile appeared on his face as he looked at the people who came to collect their medicine so they could go home and brew it themselves.
It's truly touching to see a life on the verge of death gradually regain its vitality.
"Nan Nan, it's time to drink your medicine." Xiao Chen handed a bowl of dark medicine to Nan Qianyue.
Her smile vanished, and she said bitterly, "I really don't need any precautions. I have antibodies and I'm in great health."
Xiao Chen shook his head. "I have to drink it."
