Chapter 184: Not as Easy to Coax as Jiaojiao
Xi Lin nodded, then shook his head hurriedly.
He explained, "I was on my way to the border town. When I passed through a village in the west, I heard from passersby that people in the village had been suffering from fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms in the past two weeks."
Without waiting for Xu Xiao to ask him, he volunteered, "I was originally planning to go to that village for a consultation, but those killers got wind of it and showed up. I was so focused on running that I couldn't tell east from west."
Song Yanxi asked hurriedly: "Has anyone died?"
In fact, when Song Yanxi asked this question, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Maybe they really made a mistake?
Xu Xiao said with a heavy face, "In the area west of the city where beggars gather, four people died within three days from persistent high fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and other illnesses. The patrol discovered something was wrong and reported it to us."
"It is undoubtedly an epidemic." Four lives were lost in three days, and Song Yanxi couldn't convince herself even if she wanted to.
As expected, the border town will be in chaos within three days.
Song Yanxi helped Mo Jinchuan sit up, trying her best to make her expression look less ugly and said, "Although the epidemic is dangerous, as long as it is a disease, there is always a way to treat it. There is no need for us to panic."
Xi Lin said with a grim expression, "There's no cure for this epidemic. If the Valley Master of the Divine Doctor Valley were here, perhaps he could offer some solutions."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped himself, cursing, "Listen to what you are saying. Can't the people in the Divine Doctor Valley survive without him?"
He rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Where are all the sick people? Take me there quickly."
"Don't be impulsive." Song Yanxi stopped him.
She thought of something and said cautiously, "I've seen records of epidemics in Master's notes. This disease spreads very quickly. People who are not infected must cover their faces with thick cotton pads when they come into contact with sick people, and they must not have direct contact with patients.
The clothes worn by the sick person, the dishes and chopsticks used, etc. must be boiled repeatedly in boiling water before use.
The dead bodies must not be buried casually but must be burned immediately."
Xu Xiao nodded in agreement. "What the princess said is basically the same as the method given by Princess Shihan. I think this method is indeed useful."
Xi Lin was stunned and blurted out, "She has been busy taking care of her man these days and hasn't even left the house. How did she know about the epidemic?"
"What a coincidence! Today is the day for a free clinic in the city. Princess Shihan discovered the beggar's illness and temporarily..."
Xu Xiao paused, thinking of the word Zhuang Shihan said, and said quickly: "Isolate the person temporarily."
"She did a great job. If people continue to stay together, not only will the disease spread rapidly, but the entire city will also become panic-stricken."
Although Song Yanxi looked down on Zhuang Shihan, she fully agreed with her arrangements.
After listening to her quietly, Mo Jinchuan asked calmly, "Where is Lin Tingfeng?"
"He hasn't left his room for a few days. He said he was recovering from his injuries."
Xu Xiao seemed to have thought of something and added, "Since the prince was assassinated, neither of them has left the house. This is also the first time Princess Shihan has left the house today."
"Did Doctor Liu invite her along, or did she volunteer to go?"
"I will send someone over to ask."
Mo Jinchuan nodded his chin slightly and ordered, "Spread the news that this king was assassinated. General Xu should know what to do next."
Xu Xiao nodded respectfully, looked at Song Yanxi meaningfully, and turned and left without saying anything else.
Xi Lin followed suit. He had missed such a big opportunity because of his greed for a piece of fruit. He was too embarrassed to stay here any longer before he could come up with a solution.
The room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy.
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and stared at the ground, feeling a burning gaze falling on herself. She felt the pressure doubled and didn't know how to speak for a moment.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin is not as easy to talk to as Uncle Xu, and he cannot be easily dismissed by her two high-sounding words.
He has a cold personality and rarely gets angry with others, but when he gets angry, he is really hard to appease.
It’s so painful, I might as well just scold her and let her go.
"Miss Song, don't you have anything you want to say to me?" Mo Jinchuan's voice was still hoarse.
Thinking that he had just drunk two sips of water, Song Yanxi didn't bother to reply and quickly poured another half bowl of warm water and handed it to his mouth.
Seeing that Mo Jinchuan refused to move, she thought he was still angry, so she coaxed him gently, "Your Highness, even if you are angry that I look down on you, you shouldn't torture yourself. Be obedient and drink some more water to moisten your throat."
Hearing her tone that sounded like she was coaxing a child, Mo Jinchuan's lips twitched slightly, "This king is not a spoiled child."
Song Yanxi pursed her lips and blurted out, "Indeed, she's not as easy to coax as Jiaojiao."
Realizing that she had spoken her true feelings out loud, she regretted it so much that she wanted to bite off her tongue.
Although His Royal Highness Prince Jin is not an elder, he is eight years older than her. Why does she say that about him?
It's a bit... it's too much to treat yourself as an outsider.
Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked with a twitch of his lips, "Are you trying to coax me?"
"Of course not, Your Highness must have heard wrong." Song Yanxi denied it flatly, only feeling that the bowl in her hand was very hot.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Mo Jinchuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Your Majesty!"
"My left shoulder is injured, my right shoulder is fine."
Song Yanxi was the only one who changed his medicine these days, so she naturally knew where he was injured.
Feeling the strength of Mo Jinchuan's hand holding her wrist, Song Yanxi opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she heard him say, "I just woke up and don't have much strength yet. Thank you, Miss Song."
His attitude was sincere and there was no sign of deliberateness.
Moreover, he was injured while saving her, so even if he did it on purpose, Song Yanxi would just pretend not to know.
It’s my duty to take care of him because he saved my life.
After feeding Mo Jinchuan half a bowl of water in an awkward position, Song Yanxi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Your Majesty hungry?"
"No……"
"Gurgle~"
Mo Jinchuan's expression suddenly became embarrassed.
He had never felt so humiliated in his entire life.
Song Yanxi suppressed her laughter and asked softly, "What does Your Majesty want to eat? I'll make it."
She thought of something and smiled a little embarrassedly, "My cooking skills are not very good. The best I can do is make a bowl of plain noodles for the prince to fill his stomach."
Mo Jinchuan raised the corner of his lips slightly and said softly, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Song."
Song Yanxi helped him lie down again, tucked in the corners of the quilt for him, and then left with peace of mind.
In the small kitchen, when she was making a fire, she saw a bamboo basket next to the stove, and then she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Mo Jinchuan if he wanted to eat eggs.
She turned back and was about to ask him, but suddenly heard An Yi's voice from inside the house.
"The wound on the master's body has broken open, why don't you want Miss Song to know?"
The wound opened?
Song Yanxi's heart sank. She raised her hand to push the door open, but she heard Mo Jinchuan's voice tinged with annoyance, "Stop talking too much."
Realizing that he might be afraid of being seen by her and would be embarrassed, Song Yanxi lowered her raised hand.
Just as she turned around, she suddenly heard An Yi ask, "Did the master's wound split open from laughing?"
