Looking at Yun Wenshu kneeling before her, pretending to be aggrieved, and thinking of the suffering her two great-grandsons had endured recently, Old Madam Nangong was so angry that she lost her mind.
So he grabbed the teacup beside him and smashed it at Yun Wenshu.
"I treated you like my own granddaughter and was even thinking of finding you a good family. How could you be so vicious as to try to cut off the Nangong family line? You are truly, truly guilty of heinous crimes, unforgivable..."
The old lady of the Nangong family slammed her hands on the table, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment.
The teacup struck Yun Wenshu squarely on the forehead, drawing blood immediately. Realizing her actions had been exposed, she quickly begged for mercy.
"Grandmother, I... I know I was wrong. I will definitely treat the young master and young lady well in the future. Please forgive Wenshu this time!" Her eyes were filled with fear.
During this time, she naturally knew the status of the two bastards in the Nangong family. Now that the matter has been exposed, the Nangong family will definitely not let her go. Therefore, she could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy again and again.
Seeing Yun Wenshu, whose head was covered in blood from kowtowing, Old Madam Nangong closed her eyes slightly but did not speak again. Instead, she waved to the nanny behind her, who understood and immediately stepped forward to pull the man away.
Looking at the tea brought over by the servants, Yun Wenshu's eyes were filled with fear.
"What are you doing? You can't treat me like this! I need to see my grandmother! You bunch of lackeys, let me go!"
“Miss, you’d better behave yourself, or don’t blame us for being rough. The old lady said that this tea was specially prepared for you. Since you think it’s good, please try it yourself first…”
As he spoke, he poured the entire pot of tea into Yun Wenshu's mouth.
“Miss, the Grand Madam also said that she wants you to experience the suffering that the young master and young lady endure. If you can get through it on your own, she will personally send you back to the Yun family. If you are unlucky and do not make it, she will also inform the Yun family that you have contracted a serious illness and died suddenly…”
Yun Wenshu choked on the tea and coughed repeatedly. Hearing what the nanny said, he turned pale with fright and hurriedly banged on the door, howling.
"No, let me out right now! You can't treat me like this! You can't treat me like this! I'm the eldest daughter of the Yun family! You can't treat me like this..."
When the old women saw Yun Wenshu like this, they only glanced at him with disdain before leaving.
Watching the departing group, Yun Wenshu's eyes were filled with despair, but no one paid her any attention at this moment.
Meanwhile, Han Yiyi personally fed each of the two little ones half a bowl of porridge, and then put them to sleep again.
After the two fell asleep, Han Yiyi felt a stinging pain in her thigh. Sure enough, her pants were now stained red with blood again.
Originally, the medicine had been applied and the injury had improved a lot. Later, Yun Xiao held the injured leg in his arms, so the injury healed a lot. However, as soon as they entered the city, Nangong Yuan threw the injured leg onto a horse. The injury was chafed again on the way to the General's Mansion.
I had just dismounted when I heard Old Madam Nangong's shouts, so I ignored it. Only now that I've relaxed do I realize the pain.
At this moment, Nangong Yuan also noticed the bloodstains on Han Yiyi's pants.
"I'm sorry... I'll have the nanny come and help you..."
"No need, I can do it myself. Could you please have someone prepare some water for me? I'll wash up first..."
Just as Han Yiyi finished washing up, an imperial decree arrived, summoning her to the palace for an audience with the emperor.
Han Yiyi knew that it must be because of the plague outside the city. Thinking of the despair in the eyes of the refugees, Han Yiyi did not delay any longer and entered the palace with Nangong Yuan.
Fortunately, Nangong Yuan knew she had a leg injury, so this time he didn't choose to ride a horse again, but instead rode in a carriage, and then in a sedan chair after entering the palace.
When Emperor Beichen saw Han Yiyi, he didn't mince words and went straight to asking.
"I wonder if you, young lady, have any way to treat the illnesses of those people outside the city..."
Han Yiyi was taken aback by Emperor Beichen's directness. Seeing that Han Yiyi remained silent, Emperor Beichen assumed she had some concerns and quickly spoke again.
"I know that Miss Han is a person of extraordinary talent. Such people naturally have some secrets that ordinary people cannot know. Don't worry, Miss, I will not investigate. As long as you can cure those people outside the city, I will not care what method you use. Not only that, I also guarantee you that as long as you can cure those people, you will be richly rewarded..."
Upon hearing Emperor Beichen's words, Han Yiyi raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "I didn't expect this emperor to be so reasonable. In that case, I don't need to bother finding any excuses."
However, thinking of the people outside the city, Han Yiyi hesitated before speaking.
"Your Majesty, I do have a way, but I'm afraid it won't be enough for me to do it all by myself..."
Given the environment outside the city, with excrement, vomit, the elderly and children, the sick and the healthy all piled together, even if she exchanged all her points for pills and distributed them, the plague would likely recur before long.
This is why, when Han Yiyi was outside the city, she asked the system if it had any medicine to treat those patients, but it only beeped twice and then stopped responding.
Because there were too many patients outside the city, even if they took medicine, they would still get sick in that environment and by drinking that polluted water.
There were too many patients, and even if they recovered, they were very likely to fall ill again. Therefore, the system couldn't calculate how many pills and how many points were needed, and it crashed.
When Emperor Beichen heard that Han Yiyi had a solution, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked.
"You just tell me how many people you need, or what actions you need..."
However, when it came to what he needed, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but think of the treasures in his mysteriously vanished Three Treasures Pavilion, and his confidence clearly waned.
Nangong Yuan naturally noticed Beichen Emperor's unusual behavior and couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. Han Yiyi, however, didn't notice and continued speaking after hearing Beichen Emperor's words.
"The reason why people outside are sick, vomiting and having diarrhea is because the water and food they eat are contaminated. After the flood, the most common disease is intestinal infectious disease. When I entered the city earlier, I found that all those people were crowded together, and the excrement and vomit were also nearby, which led to the spread of the plague..."
"If their environment doesn't change, even if they take the medicine, it will still be ineffective..."
