Chapter 268: Chaos



Shen Yu'an was pulled to Xin Rui's yard by Xin Rui, who was worried about a conflict.

The only people walking around in the yard were servants and maids sweeping the yard.

Xin Rui smiled and said, "Baozhu insisted on going to her grandparents' house to play, so I asked Wenqin to take her there."

Chen Yu'an smiled and nodded to show that he understood. He knew that this was the reason why Bai Ji was not called over just now.

She was the only one in the yard, so it was not easy to call a foreign man over. Shen Yu'an expressed his understanding.

Along the way, Xin Rui also asked Shen Yu'an what he had just written on the prescription.

Both external and internal medicines contain a lot of dirty things, and there are two highly toxic herbs among the internal medicines.

Xin Rui was so frightened that she immediately wanted to go back and snatch the prescription from Madam Qi San, to avoid anyone getting killed later.

Shen Yu'an stopped her with a smile, and after Xin Rui repeated it again and again, she was sure that the prescription could really cure the inexplicable rash on Qi Yiran's body.

Moreover, even Xin Rui, who trusted her very much, felt that the prescription was a joke, so it was even more impossible for Madam Qi San to use it.

So, there is nothing to worry about at the moment.

The only thing to worry about is that Madam Qi San is unwilling to use the medicine she prescribed, and Qi Yiran is afraid that she will have to endure more hard times.

Shen Yu'an did not stay in Xin Rui's yard for long. After sitting and talking for a while, a servant came to tell her that Bai Ji was waiting for her outside.

The two returned to the Bai Mansion together.

After returning, Shen Yu'an told Bai Miaoqing what happened in the general's mansion.

Even Bai Mingxi said that Qi Yiran deserved it when he heard that Qi Yiran had a strange disease and no doctors in the city could cure it.

Shen Yu'an also began to concentrate on playing in the city with Bai Miaoqing, visiting almost all the places big and small.

The city is indeed a place with a denser flow of people, and the news is better informed than that of Longxian Village.

On the third day after Shen Yu'an arrived in the city, when he and Bai Miaoqing were listening to a storyteller telling the story of a poor scholar falling in love with a young lady in a teahouse, he also heard other news.

This is the news coming from the capital.

Although everyone spoke very vaguely about the affairs of the palace, Shen Yu'an still understood all the information clearly.

The emperor, who used to be able to hang on to his life by relying on precious medicinal herbs and various "magic pills", is now in a worse condition. He can only stay in bed all day and wait for people to serve him, and he is only able to wake up very rarely.

The emperor's several princes all returned to the capital, and every day they scrambled to serve the sick old emperor.

The reason why the princes are so dedicated is mainly because the emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, which makes them all feel that they have a chance.

However, before the emperor became seriously ill, almost everyone in the harem was controlled by Concubine Rong, and this was even more so after the emperor became seriously ill.

Seeing that the situation was not right, several princes quickly found reasons to evacuate the capital with their people and stay in their own territories.

Moreover, the war situation on the border was urgent. In the western border, there were barbarians causing chaos and constantly sending troops to provoke.

Because the ones guarding the border now are Concubine Rong's brothers from her natal family, they have great ambitions but no real ability at all.

Those barbarians became more and more provocative, and the Wei Dynasty suffered several defeats in a row.

If it weren't for the soldiers originally trained by King Wuding who held on, the border would have been lost long ago.

The southern border where Chen Yu'an and the others are now is Daliang, which has friendly diplomatic relations with Wei.

But the Wei Kingdom is now plagued by internal and external troubles, and Daliang will provoke it from time to time, like a cat teasing a mouse, which makes General Xiangnan very angry. Now he is guarding the border all day long, and he is bound to bite off a piece of their meat to teach them a lesson.

The princes returned to their respective fiefdoms but were still restless and kept testing what was happening in various places.

The compulsory conscription and grain collection made the people miserable, and a large number of people fled with their families.

Shen Yu'an was somewhat worried about Fei Yanche's situation in Beijing.

However, because she was still in the capital, she could not go to the mountains behind the village to find Fei Xi and ask him to help deliver the message, so she wrote a letter and gave it to Wuyang Bookstore.

In the next few days, Shen Yu'an kept waiting for Fei Yanche's reply, but the communication channel of Wuyang Bookstore was not as fast as the big black eagle in Feixi's hand.

After waiting for several days, there was still no letter from her.

Chen Yu'an was absent-mindedly resting her chin on her hand in a daze, and Bai Miaoqing stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Bai Miaoqing could only tell her the interesting things she had heard.

"You haven't been out for the past two days, so you probably don't know about Qi Yiran's situation."

"Um?"

Seeing that Shen Yu'an was finally interested, Bai Miaoqing continued talking.

"Didn't you tell me what happened in the General's Mansion when you came back from there that day? You also expected that Madam Qi San would not use the prescription you gave her."

"She really hasn't used it yet. After you left, she started looking for a doctor around the city. In just a few days, the rash on Qi Yiran's body has spread to her face."

"And the doctors who were called to the General's Mansion all said that they couldn't cure this disease and couldn't even find the cause of the disease."

After these delays, Qi Yiran's rash became more and more serious. Now this terrible rash spread not only on her neck and arms, but also on her face, chest and back.

Qi Yiran was almost insane after becoming like this. In the end, someone came up with the idea to tie up her hands and feet with cotton cloth to prevent her from scratching her face.

Even if I didn't grab her face, it would be almost unrecognizable.

With no other options, Qi Hao, the illegitimate son of Madam Qi San, came up with a sinister idea after learning that Shen Yu'an had once given a prescription that did not look like a prescription.

They found a little maid and rubbed Qi Yiran's festering wound on the maid's face.

Just one day later, the little maid's face showed the same symptoms as Qi Yiran.

Originally, they wanted to wait until the little maid's symptoms became more serious before using the prescription left by Shen Yu'an.

But Qi Yiran was in great pain every day and obviously couldn't wait that many days.

Madam Qi San and Qi Hao used the little maid to test the poison on themselves.

Although the process is not very good-looking, the result is still ideal.

The wounds on the little maid's face slowly healed.

They finally dared to use the medicine on Qi Yiran.

However, the external application medicine smelled as bad as some kind of excrement when mixed together, not to mention that Qi Yiran was almost covered in it and had to face it all day and night.

When Qi Yiran saw Qi Hao, who didn't look at her with disgust even though she was about to be tortured beyond recognition by the strange red rash, and who backed away from her after smearing the smelly ointment all over her body, she couldn't hold it in for a moment.

Qi Yiran couldn't help crying for a moment, and her tears washed away the ointment on her face that had just been applied and had not yet been wrapped with a cloth, leaving tear marks.

The ointment flowed into her wide-open mouth again, and Qi Yiran couldn't bear the stench and spat it out again.

The scene was chaotic for a while. Qi Hao left Qi Yiran to the busy maids and ran away in a panic.
