Doctor Yang cleared his throat, looking embarrassed.

"This imperial physician has not yet married, so how can I talk about a daughter?"

He felt a little depressed, thinking about the fact that he had never been married in his previous life or this life, he looked at Xiao Ruyu with some resentment.

I've been single for two lifetimes!

Xiao Ruyu met his gaze, guessed what he was thinking, and pouted her lips while looking around innocently.

[Master, why are you staring at me like that? It’s not my fault that I didn’t find Master’s Wife.]

The Governor of Jiangnan did not notice the little movements of the master and disciple, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

This time the flattery hit the horse's hoof.

"Then who is this person..."

He looked at Xiao Ruyu, looking at her in confusion.

Doctor Yang realized that in order not to expose her identity, she had to bite the bullet and make up an identity.

"This is the daughter of an old friend of mine. He has something to do now, so he can only entrust his daughter to me for a few days."

Xiao Ruyu's eyebrows were curved, revealing a few teeth.

"Hello, Governor."

This little guy was able to adapt to his new identity pretty quickly.

Doctor Yang touched her head, a smile flashing in his eyes.

When the Governor of Jiangnan saw how likable Xiao Ruyu was, his impression of her deepened a little.

"It's so late, I wonder why the governor came to this imperial hospital."

Doctor Yang noticed that his eyes were still on Xiao Ruyu and changed the subject.

"Yes, look at my brain, I almost forgot." The Governor of Jiangnan slapped his head and remembered the purpose of this trip.

He spoke with some embarrassment, his face full of helplessness.

"In the past few days, all the officials in the county who were dealing with the disaster have fallen ill."

"The number of personnel dropped suddenly, and there were not enough people in the disaster area."

The Governor of Jiangnan bowed to Doctor Yang with a pleading look on his face.

"Dr. Yang is a great doctor who can restore the dead. Please give these officials some medicine so that they can strengthen their bodies and get better as soon as possible."

Doctor Yang reached out to hold his arm as he saluted, feeling confused.

"If I remember correctly, there are about ten officials in the county, all of whom are sick?"

Seeing the Governor of Jiangnan nodded, he touched his chin.

This matter seems a bit strange.

"Take me to check their pulses first, and then I'll prescribe some medicine for them."

Doctor Yang spoke calmly.

"I'd like to thank Lord Yang on behalf of those officials first."

The Governor-General of Jiangnan was extremely grateful and bowed repeatedly.

Doctor Yang went back to the room to get the medical box. When he turned around, Xiao Ruyu was blocking the door with her head tilted.

[Master, I want to go too. Let me see what’s going on.]

"No." He refused while packing his things.

[Why? I can also help Master to check what the disease is. ]

Xiao Ruyu pouted and walked forward to hold Doctor Yang's hand.

Doctor Yang touched her head helplessly, with hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"The little princess is not in good health now. She should rest well."

"What's more, Master doesn't know what the disease is. If it is an unknown plague, the little princess must not go there."

After saying that, he took Xiao Ruyu's hand away with a little force, and went out with the medical box.

[Hmph, if you don’t want to go, then don’t go. ]

Xiao Ruyu sat down on the chair, sulking, but her eyes followed the figure of Doctor Yang.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Xiao Ruyu immediately jumped down from the chair.

[Eleven Eleven, hurry up and take me to catch up with Master. I want to go too.]

She held Eleven's hand and looked forward to it.

Eleven crossed her arms and looked at him with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"No, Imperial Doctor Yang said that it's for the little princess's good not to go."

"unless……"

There was a sly glint in his eyes.

Xiao Ruyu didn't even think about it and immediately spoke. [Unless what?]

Eleven took out the bowl of ginger soup from behind and placed it in front of her.

"Yes, little princess, drink this bowl, and Eleven will agree to take you there first."

Xiao Ruyu gritted his teeth and tried to negotiate terms.

【Half bowl.】

“Don’t leave a single bite.”

Eleven didn't give her a chance to negotiate and insisted.

Seeing that Xiao Ruyu had time to hesitate, he pretended to yawn.

“Since the little princess doesn’t want to go, Eleven is a little sleepy, so I’ll leave first.

[Wait!] Xiao Ruyu took the ginger soup resignedly and read it word by word.

[I! Drink! Still! Can’t! I! Drink!?]

She closed her eyes and poured the ginger soup into her mouth.

The pungent taste of ginger lingered on the tip of her tongue and then slid down her tongue.

"Ugh." Xiao Ruyu made a retching motion.

Eleven had anticipated this and reached out to pat her back gently to help the ginger soup go down better.

Xiao Ruyu stuck out her yellow tongue with a bitter look on her face.

[It's ok now, take me to find the master quickly, it will be too late if we are late. ]

Eleven curled the corners of his lips, picked her up and walked out.

【Eleven, walk slower, I feel like vomiting.】

Xiao Ruyu looked at his profile, and long-lost memories flashed before her eyes.

Why does this scene seem so familiar, as if it has happened before?

She shook her head, thinking that the ginger must be poisonous!

On the way to the officials' rooms, Xiao Ruyu hung his head.

Although her stomach felt a little warmer, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Eleven noticed that she was twisting back and forth in his arms, and his movements became gentler.

"Is the princess still feeling unwell?"

Xiao Ruyu nodded slightly.

"Why don't we go see those officials another day?"

Xiao Ruyu shook her head again.

Knowing that she had a stubborn temper, Eleven couldn't do anything about her, so he racked his brains to think of another thing.

…

When they arrived at the official's door, Doctor Yang was taking his pulse inside.

Xiao Ruyu quietly hid beside the door and looked inside.

Several officials lay in a row on stretchers that had been prepared long ago, all of them looking listless.

Without exception, their faces were pale, their lips were blue, and they coughed from time to time.

After Imperial Doctor Yang took everyone's pulse one by one, he frowned.

"Master Yang, can you tell what the disease is?"

The Governor of Jiangnan asked anxiously.

"It looks like a common cold, but the symptoms are more serious than a cold."

Doctor Yang withdrew his hand and wrote down the symptoms.

"Their pulses all have one characteristic: although they are not disordered, they are extremely weak."

He took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"It's best to separate these people and have as few people serving them as possible on weekdays."

"We don't know if this cold is contagious, so it's better to be careful."

The Governor-General of Jiangnan hesitated and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, feeling a little at a loss.

"Then...when will I get better?"

Doctor Yang wrote down a few medicines and handed them to him.

"Take these medicines on time, and if nothing unexpected happens, you'll feel better in three days."

"Thank you, Master Yang."

The Governor-General of Jiangnan quickly accepted it.

Xiao Ruyu squinted his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, always feeling that something was wrong.

Wind chill? Really?

She stared at those people closely, and suddenly a dark aura appeared in front of her eyes.

The black air lingered above the officials and could not be dispelled.

It's the air of curse!
