Boiling the medicine, drinking it, and waiting for it to take effect—three hours passed quickly.
Many villagers who were seriously ill and on the verge of death felt much better after taking the medicine, and their complexions became rosy again.
People who were initially hesitant to take the medicine started doing so.
People who originally didn't want their children to take risks are now scrambling to take them away, all for the sake of giving their sick children medicine.
Mo Yunzhao was even more skeptical of medicines that worked faster.
谁敢来抢孩子，直接就揍出去，有的疼爱孩子，不怕死的。
It's very simple, just knock them out and leave them aside.
In short, Mo Yunzhao had only one thing to say: the child must never be allowed to drink that medicine.
The Imperial Study.
Emperor Yanwu was reviewing memorials, all of which concerned the current plague.
He spent the whole day watching, and all they talked about was how serious the plague was, without offering any solutions. It made him furious.
There's no point in looking at these things; we're still going through the same thing. It's better to read storybooks.
Grandpa Xi, who was standing nearby, told him the latest news from Sunjia Village.
Emperor Yanwu: "So, the Crown Prince has concocted a medicine to cure the plague? But he left Sunjia Village overnight?"
Eunuch Xi smiled, "It should be, it's Lord Mo..."
Emperor Yanwu was in a good mood. He took out a storybook from the bottom of the memorial, leaned back lazily, and opened the storybook.
"That's good. Lord Mo has great courage."
Fearing he might have missed it, Eunuch Xi repeated, "Lord Mo spoke on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince: if anything happens to the children, His Highness the Crown Prince will be deposed and reduced to a commoner."
Emperor Yanwu nodded, "That's good. She trusts the Crown Prince, and I support her."
In any case, whether the crown prince is deposed or reappointed, isn't it all up to the emperor to decide?
Grandpa Xi: "..."
Emperor Yanwu flipped through the storybook, then looked up at Eunuch Xi, "The Empress has been on the throne for a long time, hasn't she?"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Xi was startled and quickly offered some advice.
"Your Majesty, please don't have any ideas. The Imperial Noble Consort has already been imprisoned and is just waiting to be deposed. With your three thousand concubines, you will only have one Empress. If you depose the Empress, your harem will be empty."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yanwu's eyes lit up. "Little Xizi, your reminder is timely. I should depose the Empress."
Eunuch Xi was about to faint, "Your Majesty..."
"It's decided then." Emperor Yanwu was in a good mood. He lowered his head and continued reading the storybook. Then he took out a handful of melon seeds from the jade seal box next to him and started cracking them open.
Grandpa Xi wanted to offer some advice, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly, "Whatever makes you happy."
After the Sun Family Village incident, the Emperor will first depose the Empress, and then the Imperial Noble Consort.
The reason why the Imperial Noble Consort was not deposed earlier was because the Emperor did not want the harem to be left with only the Empress.
The phrase "exclusive favor in the harem" was only meant for the former empress.
The Emperor has endured this for decades for the sake of the Xuan Tang Kingdom.
Now, the Crown Prince has grown up, become more independent, and his methods are even more ruthless than the Emperor's.
The emperor is getting old, so he should live as he pleases.
Thinking it over, Eunuch Xi felt relieved and took out a storybook from his sleeve. "Your Majesty, please take a look at this. It's the ending."
Emperor Yanwu took one look and saw that it was the most important final chapter. He exclaimed, "Little Xizi, how dare you hide my storybook! What is your punishment?"
"If Your Majesty wishes to punish me, then this old servant will continue to hide."
Emperor Yanwu immediately chuckled, "Quickly present the storybook to atone for your sins."
Fires burned in Sunjia Village, illuminating the area even at night, as everyone waited to take their medicine.
At this moment, Ling Jingyu also rushed back.
