Ning Xi'er inquired about Xie Zhun's situation from Xuan Shuang.
Hearing the princess express her concern for His Highness, Xuan Shuang seemed somewhat excited.
He immediately took out a handkerchief wrapped in cloth and respectfully handed it to Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er glanced at it, opened it, and saw a simple white embroidered handkerchief lying quietly on it...
A single orange candy.
His favorite orange candy...
Ning Xi'er suddenly smiled and looked up at Xuan Shuang, "Did Your Highness say anything?"
Infected by Ning Xi'er's expression, Xuan Shuang replied with a smile, "It's all good, it's just... His Highness misses the Princess very much..."
Ning Xi'er smiled, feeling a long-lost sense of ease. "Oh? The Prince said it himself?"
Xuan Shuang explained, "Although the prince didn't say it, he always looks at it for a moment before taking his medicine or eating candy..."
"Also, after discussing matters with Mr. Wei, he would always look in the direction of Yongning..."
"besides......"
Ning Xi'er waited for him to continue, but Xuan Shuang realized she had spoken out of turn and immediately paused, "When you return, the Prince will speak to you personally..."
Ning Xi'er nodded, took out five water pouches filled with spiritual spring liquid from the begonia bundle behind her, and also took out five doses of the medicinal soup that Xie Zhun had drunk.
Judging by the time, those who remained should have drunk most of it.
The people Xiu De had reserved were all transferred to transport supplies. This group of people were extremely vicious and ruthless in their desire to take Xie Zhun's life, showing no regard for the lives of the city's inhabitants or those in the surrounding area...
Ning Xi'er immediately sent Xuan Shuang back and instructed her to bring back the information she had obtained from the prefect.
"The medicine and herbs in the water sac, one dose per day..."
Ning Xi'er gave Xuan Shuang some instructions.
Xuan Shuang immediately understood that the princess was telling the prince when she would return.
But upon learning from Ning Xi'er that the plague was indeed launched for the sake of the prince, his knuckles cracked.
Ning Xi'er turned to look at Qin Yuan, who showed no surprise at what Ning Xi'er had just said.
Clearly, he and Xie Zhun should have anticipated this.
Qin Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. His Highness ordered me to stay and return with the Princess..."
Ning Xi'er nodded, "That's fine..."
Qin Yuan, familiar with officialdom, is currently busy filling in the gaps and making improvements, while Xue Lin is helping to procure and distribute grain and supplies...
Fortunately, someone was there to clean up the mess and help Xue Lin secure his future.
Xie Zhun prevented the spread of the epidemic, not only to avoid potential repercussions from the state government later for Xue Lin's concealment of the epidemic...
The state government's actions, and the fact that the epidemic in Yongning was brought under control...
The people will also know who deserves the credit.
The convoy carrying supplies slowly drove to the city gate. Xue Lin rushed back from the village, and Zheng prepared to lead the team to the designated location...
But then the city gate slowly opened, and a person rushed out from inside.
Ning Xi'er and Xue Lin glanced at each other and recognized the man as the middle-aged man who had knelt down and begged Ning Xi'er to save his daughter that day.
The man couldn't contain his joy when he saw Ning Xi'er and Xue Lin.
He immediately ran up to them and bowed to Ning Xi'er and Xue Lin.
The man introduced himself as Liao Yueming, a traveling merchant.
The trip was originally intended to buy medicinal herbs in the surrounding area and take my only daughter sightseeing, but she fell ill shortly after entering the city...
Three hundred carriages were waiting, and Liao Yueming didn't want to waste too much time, so he directly stated his purpose.
Hearing that food and supplies were scarce in the city, he was willing to donate all of the 20,000 taels of capital he was carrying to Yongning City to repay the divine physician and the officials of Yongning for saving his life, his daughter's life, and his companions' lives.
Xue Lin looked at the silver note he had stuffed into his hand, then looked at Ning Xi'er, hesitating.
Saving lives is their duty as public officials.
Receiving money now feels like a hot potato...
But there are over a million mouths to feed in the city...
Even with three hundred cartloads of grain and supplies, it would only last a few days...
The silver notes given by the princess have long been spent, used to purchase grain from four villages without any sick members.
With 20,000 taels of silver, and if the surrounding counties are willing to send grain, we can buy some more...
Liao Yueming grasped Xue Lin's hand holding the silver note and said sincerely, "Sir, please accept it!"
"If it weren't for you and the miracle doctor, what use would I have for this money?"
"I am not very capable, but I have some savings. Please use these for now. In addition, as a traveling merchant, I have some channels for procuring supplies. If needed, we can go out of the city..."
"I can immediately take my men back to allocate supplies and see what the adults need us to send over later..."
Upon hearing these words, Xue Lin became excited and grasped Liao Yueming's hand in return.
He no longer cared whether these things were hot or not; as long as the people could live, he was willing to disregard his reputation!
"Mr. Liao, if that's possible, that would be wonderful!"
"How about this, you can take this silver note back. You'll need money to buy grain, won't you? Could you deliver the grain in seven days?"
Liao Yueming immediately nodded, "Okay, we'll see how much we can procure by then. Before that, I will definitely bring people over. If that's not enough, we'll split it into two trips."
He pushed Xue Lin's hand back, "Sir, please keep this money. There are many places where we need it. This is just a token of my appreciation..."
"Believe me, I can afford to give you those twenty thousand taels..."
Qin Yuan approached unnoticed, leaning against Ning Xi'er and whispering, "Liao Yueming is actually the richest man in Great Yan, but he's a low-key person and not well-known..."
"On the surface, the richest family in Great Yan is the Liu family of Jiangnan, the maternal grandmother of the Queen Consort. But in reality, the Liao family has a wide-reaching business network and also owns many businesses in Qi and Jin..."
"Wealthy enough to rival a nation."
Upon hearing Qin Yuan's final summary, Ning Xi'er's eyes lit up immediately.
