Xiahe Village
After dealing with the last well, Jiang Qingwan clapped her hands, watched the plague gas gradually dissipate from the wellhead, and curled the corners of her lips.
Seeing her expression, the village chief immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, has it been successful?"
He already knew Jiang Qingwan's identity, and he respected and was cautious of her even more.
Jiang Qingwan nodded, "It's okay for now, but we'll have to wait another night to see."
Qing Sui frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, are you going to spend the night in the village?"
Jiang Qingwan pointed to the wellhead and said, "These wells are all very deep. The plague has already seeped deep into the ground. I need to confirm whether the groundwater has been contaminated. We need to wait overnight and see if the water seeps up from below and carries the plague."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's expression also turned solemn.
Although the village uses wells for drinking water, if the plague enters the groundwater, it will spread to the underground river, and it's hard to say where it will end up.
He quickly knelt down.
“The Princess is kind and benevolent. On behalf of our Xiahe Village, I kneel down to thank the Princess for her great kindness. Please let me know if you need anything. We will definitely provide the Princess with the best food and lodging.”
Jiang Qingwan raised her hand.
"If the underground river has really been polluted, things will be troublesome. Get up and go back to see if the medicine has been delivered. Take precautions as soon as possible."
The group was preparing to return to Xiao Cui's house.
Suddenly, a person rushed out from behind the village.
As she got closer, Jiang Qingwan recognized him as Qin Minglang.
Qing Sui drew her short sword and glared at him with a cold expression.
"roll!"
Qin Minglang completely ignored him.
He looked intently at Jiang Qingwan, "Wan'er, I've come here as fast as I can, come with me quickly."
Jiang Qingwan remained silent.
Why should I go with you?
Qin Minglang stamped his foot in frustration.
"Don't try to hide it from me anymore. The Emperor already knows about the plague."
The village chief was shocked.
"His Majesty... His Majesty knows?"
Jiang Qingwan was very curious.
"You're the one who reported me? So, the plague in Xiahe Village is related to you?"
Qin Minglang didn't understand, but he became even more anxious.
"This is not the time to talk about this. Come with me quickly. I took a great risk to get here ahead of time. The Third Prince has already mobilized troops to massacre the village."
The village chief was in a panic.
"Massacre of the village? What right do you have to massacre the village? The princess is already treating our illnesses."
Qin Minglang glared at him with disgust.
"What do you, a country bumpkin, know? The Emperor has given the order and brought the imperial physicians. Even if you have found a cure now, it's useless."
He said this as he stepped forward to take Jiang Qingwan's hand.
A short knife suddenly slashed down.
If he hadn't dodged in time, his entire hand would have been cut off.
Knowing Qinghui's abilities, he pointed at her fiercely and turned to continue persuading Jiang Qingwan.
"Wan'er, my feelings for you are as clear as day. You must leave with me now and not get involved in this matter. I won't hide it from you, Mo Yunhan doesn't care about you at all. Even though the Third Prince reminded him so many times, he still refused to come to save you. He has no feelings for you at all!"
"Bullshit!"
A sharp shout rang out from not far away.
Zheng Qing rushed over after learning that someone had broken into the village, only to hear these shameless words.
Enraged, he lunged forward and punched her.
Qin Minglang was so frightened that he hid behind him.
But without the blessing of the Crimson Jade, he was no match for Zheng Qing.
He was knocked to the ground in just a few moments.
While Zheng Qing relentlessly beat Qin Minglang, he cursed him mercilessly in his mind.
That bastard dared to flirt with his amazing nephew's wife right in front of him; he's utterly shameless.
Qin Minglang was beaten black and blue, barely managing to escape the heavy punches, and then threatened with his arms trembling.
"Jiang Qingwan, I came here to save you out of kindness, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you also condoned this brute's violence. You...you can all just wait here to die."
Zheng Qing rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action again.
He was so frightened that he scrambled away a great distance.
Zheng Qing took a sip.
"Coward, you dare to try and steal Yun Han's man? Get out of here, or I'll throw you out myself."
Qin Minglang dared not stay any longer. He left behind a few harsh words and fled in a sorry state.
The village chief was extremely anxious.
"Your Highness, is what this person said true? Did the Emperor really send people to massacre the village?"
Zheng Qing also heard the whole story.
His expression also showed some worry.
"I didn't bring many people with me. If they really massacre the village, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them."
Jiang Qingwan gave a cold, curt smile.
"If there were no plague, what right did they have to massacre the village?"
"Go back first. The most important thing right now is to get the illness cured. That way, even if they make things difficult for us, they won't have any excuse."
The village chief, upon hearing this, felt reassured.
The group hurried back to Xiao Cui's house.
The courtyard was now packed with people.
They all obediently refrained from pushing or shoving, and escorted the seriously ill person into the courtyard, while the others waited outside.
Li Dou has already delivered the medicine and is unloading it inside with several soldiers.
When the crowd saw Jiang Qingwan approaching, they immediately made way for her.
A few bolder individuals in the crowd asked questions.
"Village chief, the well is finished, is it ready to use?"
"Are we really okay with this illness?"
"Have you found out which bastard is behind this?"
The village chief raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't ask so many questions yet. The medicinal herbs have arrived. Let's see how we can help."
He said this and quickened his pace, taking a few steps.
They followed closely behind.
Jiang Qingwan took the list handed to her by Li Dou and looked it over one by one.
Dr. Yu is checking the quality and quantity of the medicinal herbs.
They were calculating how to allocate the resources.
