Chapter 134 Come Back with Me
The next morning, everyone gathered in the lobby, anxiously awaiting the results of the drug trials on patients with severe plague.
After returning from the mountain yesterday, Miss Jiang and the imperial doctors only rested for a short while, and then they worked overnight to prepare a new prescription and gave it to the seriously ill patients. Now, three or four hours have passed, and there will soon be an answer as to whether it will work or not.
Song Yunchu and Jun Liluo were also tense and stared at the door in the backyard.
"Your Majesty, regardless of whether the test is successful or not, you should go back."
Song Yunchu said, "After the hard work of Miss Jiang and the imperial doctors over the past few days, the risk of plague has been reduced a lot, and the morning court session can be resumed. During the few days when you were exempt from court session, you must have accumulated a lot of affairs to deal with."
"Indeed, I should not stay here for long. I had already made plans last night."
Jun Liluo turned to look at Song Yunchu, "If the drug test is successful, it won't be long before the plague is completely eliminated. Not only me, but you, Yunchu, don't need to stay. The most dangerous period has passed. The remaining trivial matters are not difficult to handle. I will order others to finish it. You and I will return to the court. We have other political affairs to deal with."
Song Yunchu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is right. If the prescription is really effective, we don't have to worry too much about the rest. The west of the city has been closed for a long time and can't be closed any longer, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the merchants' livelihoods."
"If the prescription is not successful... I will have no choice but to stay here. Both General Zhao and Miss Jiang are used to me cooperating with them. If someone else comes, and if that person doesn't manage the situation well, I'm afraid it will affect everyone's progress."
"Okay." Jun Li Luo agreed and said no more.
Under the expectant or nervous gazes of the crowd, Jiang Rumin came out from the backyard.
"Your Majesty, Lord Song."
Jiang Rumin looked at Jun Liluo and Song Yunchu, a smile on her lips, "The new prescription is effective! Among the eight critically ill patients, the black spots on six of them have become lighter, and the fever symptoms have also been alleviated a lot. The remaining two with the most serious conditions have not continued to deteriorate. They were dying yesterday, but today they have the strength to eat!"
As Jiang Rumin finished speaking, everyone's tense hearts finally relaxed and they cheered together.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Jiang. You are really capable! You have brought her back to health."
"I knew Miss Jiang could do it! So, are our days of going up the mountain to dig grass coming to an end?"
"Thanks to Miss Jiang's excellent medical skills, the people in the west of the city will probably be free soon, instead of being locked up in their houses all day and getting sick."
Facing the praise from everyone, Jiang Rumin smiled and said, "It's not all my credit. The imperial doctors also worked very hard. When you go back and praise others, don't forget to bring the imperial doctors along."
Looking at the cheering and joyful scene around him, Song Yunchu turned his head and smiled at Jun Liluo.
"Your Majesty, the prescription was successful. Are you relieved now?"
"I feel relieved." Jun Liluo raised his lips and said, "We were worried that the plague would spread too quickly, so we restricted people's travel. Now that the prescription has been successfully tested, we can send all the doctors to the mountains and ask them to collect a large amount of the required herbs so that these herbs can appear on the market as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty is right. I will issue the notice in a moment."
"Yun Chu, for this fight against the epidemic, you, General Zhao, and Miss Jiang, I will give you three first-class merits. The rest of you will also receive silver rewards. After returning to the court, I will immediately award you with rewards."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchu bowed his hands in thanks and said, "Then I will thank your majesty for your grace on behalf of everyone else."
"Now that the prescription has been successful, the rest of the matter will be much simpler. Your Majesty, Lord Song, you can go back with peace of mind."
Jiang Rumin walked forward, looked at Song Yunchu and said, "The most dangerous time has long passed. I have seen how hard Lord Song has worked these days. You can see that the area around your eyes is a bit dark and blue. I have some skin care ointment. Take a few bottles with you when you leave. Apply it every morning and evening, and you will soon be back to your former radiant look."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchu subconsciously wiped the area around his eyes and said, "Is my complexion... really that ugly?"
[I don’t have time to look in the mirror every day recently. Could it be that I have developed dark circles under my eyes? ]
[Alas... I never thought that someone like me who always thought about slacking off would have such hard times. ]
[Forget it, it's not a big deal. I'll go back and rest for a few days. With Jiang Rumin's skills, am I still worried that I won't be able to regain my former beauty? ]
[Although I occasionally slack off when working overtime for the dog emperor, I am still quite reliable at critical moments. As a first-rank official, I have fulfilled my duties conscientiously. ]
Jun Liluo couldn't help laughing as he listened to her inner thoughts.
In fact, he knew that Song Yunchu was a bit conceited.
A person who cares about his appearance and can work himself up to the point of having dark circles around his eyes is truly worthy of the title of a first-rank official.
"He's not that bad looking." Jun Liluo said slowly, "Although he's not as handsome as before, he's still a good-looking man. The Song Qing family doesn't need to be too anxious."
Jun Li Luo's words were somewhat unexpected to Song Yunchu.
[The dog emperor has a lot of things to say about people. ]
[This person's temper seems to be much better than before. In the past, he would reward meritorious officials with gifts and at most say a few polite words. Now he has learned to provide emotional value, which is good.]
Jun Liluo: "..."
He really wanted to tell Song Yunchu that he would never praise anyone else like this.
If it was someone else who made the contribution, just give him the reward.
Song Yunchu only attributed Jun Liluo's praise to her great contribution, but Jiang Rumin, who was standing by, sensed other meanings from Jun Liluo's words and couldn't help but have a subtle look on her face.
She glanced at Jun Li Luo's expression and saw that Jun Li Luo was only looking at Song Yun Chu. Even though Song Yun Chu was facing sideways towards him, he did not look at anyone else.
Jiang Rumin understood.
Others only thought that His Majesty appreciated Lord Song as a wise minister, but she knew very well that His Majesty had deep feelings for Lord Song and it was difficult to let go.
These days, listening to Chu Yuni and the guards' idle chatter, I realized that Lord Song is a person who judges people by their appearance.
Come to think of it, looking at Lord Song's subordinates, even if not all of them are handsome, most of them can be said to have regular features, and there are almost no ugly ones.
It seems that when Lord Song said that she was beautiful, it was completely from the heart and there was no element of comfort in it.
It’s a pity that although her appearance was recognized by Lord Song, her gender... did not meet Lord Song’s requirements.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't sad, but what's the point of being sad? There's no way she could compete with the king of a country.
She had already lost from the beginning, but fortunately she lost to His Majesty, so it was not shameful.
