Chapter 434 I finally found you, sob sob sob
"This old servant only went to the Temple of the Divine Healer once before, to pay respects to the Divine Healer Goddess, and hasn't gone anywhere else since, cough cough cough."
While Jiang Nuanzhi was taking Sun's mother's pulse, she casually asked her a question. As Sun's mother was speaking, she started coughing violently again.
Jiang Nuanzhi handed her the medicine bowl: "Here's some medicine for you. I'll come see you again later."
Madam Sun nodded, forcing herself to get up. Tears streamed down her face as she said, "Doctor Jiang, cough cough, when will I get better? I have to go and take care of Madam, and now I also have to look after all the people in the city. How can I possibly take care of everyone?"
Jiang Nuanzhi stopped him: "Rest. In your current state, even if Madam takes care of you, you might still catch a chill. Madam is currently very weak and cannot withstand any more of this. Lord Lu has already sent people over, so everything will be alright."
As Sun's mother spoke, tears welled up in her eyes with anxiety: "But what about food?"
Jiang Nuanzhi comforted her, "Don't worry, there's General Wan and his men, so they won't be short of food. You should focus on taking care of yourself first."
He gave a few more instructions and then went out.
Li Rong glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi, his handsome eyebrows furrowing as he asked, "Is it the Temple of the Divine Physician again?"
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Yesterday, Military Advisor Shen fell ill and went to the Temple of the Divine Healer during the day. These past two days, Mother Sun has also gone to the Temple of the Divine Healer. Could it be that there really is something wrong with the temple?"
Li Rong and Jiang Nuanzhi exchanged a glance, then said, "I'll go take a look."
As he spoke, he handed the medicine to Jiang Nuanzhi: "Nuanzhi, drink this medicine and wait for me at home. I will be back soon."
Jiang Nuanzhi hurriedly grabbed his sleeve: "No, the poison in your body hasn't been cured yet. That's when you can't get infected with the plague."
As she said this, she took out two clean white handkerchiefs from her bosom. She sprinkled a strong liquor on the handkerchiefs, waited a moment, and then handed one to Li Rong: "We've taken the preventative medicine, and now that we've covered our faces with the white cloth, nothing will happen."
Li Rong frowned, wanting to say something, but Jiang Nuanzhi drank half of the large bowl of medicine and fed the other half to Li Rong.
Seeing that Li Rong didn't move, they directly poured the liquid down his throat.
He then laughed and said, "Arong, I am a physician. Besides, this is Canglin, the place where I am worshipped. I may love money and cherish my life, but I can't just accept people's offerings for nothing. If I really stay at home, I won't be able to sleep peacefully anymore."
Jiang Nuanzhi tied a face towel around her neck: "My prescription is still too slow. There is a shortage of medicinal herbs in the city. I need to see more patients and find a faster cure for the epidemic. Arong, you have to help me."
Li Rong sighed, then escorted the person out the door.
The once bustling street in Canglin City is now sparsely populated, and the few people you do see are all listless.
However, the pharmacy was always bustling with people.
In front of the temple of the divine healer closest to the Lu residence, people came and went in an endless stream, especially here, most of them coughing. Jiang Nuanzhi looked over and saw that many people had dark red eyes and pale faces. A group of people were huddled together.
Even if the two of them wanted to go in, they probably wouldn't be able to.
"Even if we manage to get in, there's probably nowhere to investigate. Could it be that there are so many sick people here that they've caught the disease from each other?"
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "You're right, places with large populations are prone to repeated cross-infection. It's just that this epidemic came on too suddenly. How could it have happened so quickly?"
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned deeply.
"Get out of my way! Let this princess pass! Damn it, stay away from me or I'll beat you to death!"
Suddenly, a delicate shout rang out from the crowd. Accompanying her voice was the sound of a whip slicing through the air.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked in the direction of the sound and was taken aback: "It's her!"
Li Rong frowned as well: "Why is she here?"
The young princess, clutching several packets of medicine, was squeezed in the middle of a crowd. Even wielding her whip was futile. Her arms were already covered in rashes from the pressure and pulling of the people around her. Forgetting to scratch her arms, she clutched the medicine to her chest and continued her arduous journey, whipping her whip.
The crowd was too dense, and she was surrounded by strange smells she had never encountered before. She was almost overwhelmed by the stench and felt dizzy.
Just then, she felt her arm being grasped and smelled the fragrance of medicine. She was immediately alert and looked up. Her eyes lit up: "Doctor Jiang!"
Li Rong led the way, quickly bringing the two girls out of the crowd.
Jiang Nuanzhi then patted her slightly disheveled clothes, glanced at the red rash on her arm, and hurriedly took out a pill from her bosom and gave it to her.
Without saying a word, the young princess tilted her head back and swallowed it.
"How did you end up here?" Jiang Nuanzhi asked worriedly.
The young princess stared blankly at Jiang Nuanzhi, brushed the hair that had fallen in front of her eyes, and burst into tears, hugging Jiang Nuanzhi's neck tightly: "I've finally found you, waaaaah!"
Jiang Nuan was taken aback, then patted her back: "Don't rush to cry, what's wrong? Why did you get so much medicine? Are you sick? Why are you all alone? Where's Yuchuan?"
The young princess pouted and said, "Yuchuan is sick too."
After a while, she calmed down with Jiang Nuanzhi's comforting words and recounted what had happened along the way, sobbing.
Jiang Nuanzhi caught the key point in her sobbing voice and exclaimed in surprise, "You mean, Chi Heng is still in Canglin City? And even his guards are too sick to get out of bed?"
The young princess nodded frantically: "He's unconscious. Maybe he'll feel better after a good night's sleep? I...I...I got the medicine."
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked: "Yuchuan is unconscious too?"
The young princess nodded again: "And the four guards I brought with me."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Huh? With the current situation of the epidemic, it shouldn't be enough to cause a coma."
"Arong, we need to hurry and go take a look."
In her anxiety, Jiang Nuanzhi didn't notice the little princess's guilty expression.
Li Rong frowned deeply, staring at the young princess with a heavy gaze for a long while.
"Where is Chi Heng? Take us there."
"Xiao Nianjun! Xiao Nianjun!"
Chi Heng let out two loud shouts in his hoarse voice.
However, there was no response from the surroundings. He frowned and looked at the table. The teapot that had been placed by the bed earlier had been casually placed on the table in the distance by Xiao Nianjun.
He took two deep breaths, suppressing his anger, and tried to get up, but his lower legs still felt like they were on cotton, and he had no strength at all, so he fell off the bed.
Lying on the ground, Chi Heng gritted her teeth so hard they made a grinding sound.
"Xiao Nianjun! I'm going to kill you, you stupid woman!!!"
