After arriving near the palace, the surroundings were still peaceful and serene.

Qian Ruoyu knew clearly that perhaps the plague would not spread to this area so quickly. After all, this area was almost entirely populated by high-ranking officials in the entire capital, and there were very few people coming and going in this area.

Qian Ruoyu also knew that the closer he was to this place, the greater the chance of being infected with the plague.

Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu took out a pair of medical gloves from the laboratory and put them on himself and Jin Lianhua.

Although Jin Lianhua didn't know what Qian Ruoyu's intention was, she still used it obediently.

After the two men arrived at the entrance of the cross street, Qian Ruoyu could clearly hear more and more coughing sounds on the street.

Moreover, the sounds of these coughs were very violent, filling the ears of the entire street.

Although Qian Ruoyu was a little hesitant in her heart, she still walked around with Jin Lianhua. She could see that as long as there was a pharmacy on the road, the entrance of the pharmacy would be crowded with people.

Most people came to buy herbal remedies that could cure coughs, but almost all the herbal remedies that could cure coughs in the entire capital city had been bought up.

The shopkeeper in the pharmacy said.

"The herbs such as Ephedra, White Mustard Seed, and Fritillaria have been sold out. Please stop crowding! If you need them, you can look for other herbs. Our shop has nothing else to sell!"

After hearing this, everyone was obviously a little angry, and some even walked directly inside, as if trying to see if the herbs were really gone.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "It must be that the shopkeeper doesn't want to sell it to us. Let's go in and find him!"

After this shout was made, there was a commotion among the crowd, and they all rushed into the pharmacy. There was actually a large medicine cabinet that was pushed to the ground.

After seeing such a panicked look, Qian Ruoyu was shocked. He did not expect that such a thing would happen before the plague. However, Qian Ruoyu did not stay in this place for long. Instead, he came to the entrance of an alley.

There was a man lying at the entrance of the alley, coughing violently, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Qian Ruoyu hurried to the man, and after looking at his symptoms, he immediately determined that this was the person infected with the plague.

Although the person who was coughing on the ground saw Qian Ruoyu at this time, he did not say a word and continued to cough violently.

Seeing this scene this year, she felt a little panicked inside and had no idea what was going on. But seeing that Qian Ruoyu was still so calm, Jin Lianhua didn't know what to say.

Looking at the man on the ground, Qian Ruoyu knew that there was no way he could help him, but perhaps he could temporarily stop his cough.

Qian Ruoyu directly prepared some cough suppressant herbs on the spot and said, "Take it. It will make you feel better."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the person on the ground started coughing violently, so he decided to give it a try and immediately drank the potion prepared by Qian Ruoyu.

In just a moment, the person who was coughing recovered immediately, and his face looked much better.
