Li Youran was initially troubled by wanting to eat grapes, but then she was surprised to find cherries, and her eyes lit up. If she weren't afraid of infecting them with the virus, Li Youran would have opened the door immediately, so she hurriedly shouted loudly to Wu Yong outside the door.
"Thank you, Young Master Wu."
Although she didn't say much, her tone was relaxed and cheerful. Tang Lei could tell that Li Youran was happy, so he frowned slightly and looked coldly at Wu Yong.
"Liaocheng is not a major producer of cherries, where did you get them from?"
Liaocheng is currently under lockdown, and Tang Lei is very curious about what methods Wu Yong used to obtain such fresh cherries.
"This was given to Master Zhao by the people who came to meet him when he was delivering liquor."
Wu Yong scratched his head sheepishly and continued.
"Master Wu asked me to bring this to the princess; I'm just passing on what I've learned."
When his scheme was exposed, Wu Yong was a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and left as if he had something else to do. Tang Lei watched Wu Yong leave with a slightly contemptuous look in his eyes.
He thought to himself, "This kid is cunning. I can't let him get close to Li Youran. If I accidentally get tricked by him, it won't be worth it."
"You Ran, I'm leaving. Remember to scald these fruits with hot water before eating them."
During quarantine, everything needed had to be written down on a piece of paper, posted on the door, and then delivered by the person in charge of purchasing.
However, all of Li Youran's belongings were personally procured by Tang Lei, though Li Youran was unaware of this.
So when she heard Tang Lei's words, she blushed instantly. But after a long time, when there was no movement outside the door, she finally opened it.
Li Youran accepted all the grapes, still covered in white frost, and the slightly stale cherries without hesitation. After all, in this era of scarcity, being able to eat such fruit was a luxury.
Besides, being isolated here is already quite boring, so eating something can help pass the time.
"Does Your Excellency know that Miss Hu has come to my residence?"
The Fourth Prince stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Hu Qinqin with an air of self-awareness.
The Prime Minister has always been on good terms with the Third Prince, so the Fourth Prince was quite surprised that Hu Qinqin would come to him today.
“If my father knew that you were in the manor and did not go there in person with the troops, I’m afraid this is a prince’s manor, and it would have been surrounded by soldiers by today.”
The Fourth Prince's expression changed slightly after hearing Hu Qinqin's words.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. I came here on my own because I did not intend to tell my father about this matter."
Seeing this, Hu Qinqin smiled and said, having turned the tables and gracefully walked around behind the Second Prince to continue.
"I heard that the Second Prince's visit to Liaocheng, the hardest-hit area, has now brought the epidemic under control, and his people have even developed a high-concentration liquor to prevent and treat the plague."
The Fourth Prince was naturally aware of what Hu Qinqin had mentioned.
"Not only that, he also took the initiative to inform the emperor that strong liquor could disinfect, and proactively extended a helping hand to other plague-stricken areas."
The Fourth Prince's expression turned even more unpleasant after hearing Hu Qinqin's words.
There are four epidemic zones in total. The Second Prince's treatment was required in the area with the most severe epidemic, and only the Second Prince's area has the epidemic under control.
Furthermore, the Second Prince also gained favor with the Emperor and received an award before the pandemic ended.
"Did Miss Hu come here just to tell me these things that everyone already knows?"
After hearing what the Fourth Prince said, Hu Qinqin did not speak. Instead, she sat down, picked up a cup of tea from the table, and slowly sipped it.
"Your Highness, do you know who that young doctor under the Second Prince is?"
Hu Qinqin put down her teacup, stood up, and looked at the Fourth Prince.
Upon hearing Hu Qinqin's words, the Fourth Prince's expression changed slightly.
Speaking of the capable person beside the Second Prince, he had sent people to inquire about him many times, but he had not found a single clue.
It is important to know that if this person could help, the epidemic in the area under his jurisdiction could be brought under control.
Now, His Highness the Second Prince has not only brought the epidemic under control, but also shows signs of ending it.
In the region under his jurisdiction, not only was the epidemic out of control, but it had actually worsened. If we could obtain information about this person, perhaps…
"Does Miss Hu know this person's background?"
The Fourth Prince inquired with a question in mind.
He didn't believe Hu Qinqin knew about this matter or could find out things that even he couldn't find out.
Besides, even if Hu Qinqin knew, why would she tell him? Therefore, the Fourth Prince did not have much faith in Hu Qinqin.
Hu Qinqin walked step by step toward the Fourth Prince, who took a step back upon seeing her.
But Hu Qinqin took another step forward. The Fourth Prince looked down at the delicate Hu Qinqin, a slight smile playing on his lips, and did not retreat any further.
Hu Qinqin tiptoed and whispered a few words in the Fourth Prince's ear.
"You told me this news, but what are your conditions?"
The Fourth Prince's brows furrowed with surprise as he looked at Hu Qinqin and spoke.
"His Highness the Fourth Prince understands this, of course."
After Hu Qinqin finished speaking, she left without looking back.
During the days of isolation, every bowl of medicine that Li Youran drank was personally prepared by Dr. Feng. He even specially added some precious herbs to Li Youran's body to nourish her.
