Lu Yanluo is reliable in her work and she doesn't put on airs as a princess at all. She does everything herself and is highly recognized by the doctors.

That day, Chu Xuan brought the newly bought food to the quarantine center and visited Lu Yanluo.

The two men had just met and had not yet said a word when the tent was hastily opened from the outside.

"Princess! The prince is here too?" It was Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran looked hurried, obviously something had happened, and she did not even bother to greet Chu Xuan, and said anxiously: "Princess, something happened! Come with me to take a look!"

Lu Yanluo didn't dare to delay, so she put on her face mask and followed Xiaoran. On the way, Xiaoran briefly told her the cause of the incident.

The ones who got into trouble were the doctors who were seeing patients here. The epidemic had been out of control in the past few days, and several doctors were worried. They finally decided to test the medicine on themselves.

But this drug test was not a big deal, but something went wrong today. After drinking the medicine, several doctors began to vomit uncontrollably and then fainted.

The other doctors who had not yet had time to drink the medicine were spared. After diagnosis and treatment, they found that there was something wrong with the medicine.

The prescription written by the doctor in advance contained an ingredient called Cimicifuga heracleifolia, which can clear away heat and detoxify, and is a standard herb for treating epidemic diseases. However, the prepared decoction also contained an ingredient called Aconitum carmichaelii, which was incompatible with Cimicifuga heracleifolia.

Aconitum is poisonous in itself and is incompatible with Cimicifuga, which turned this bowl of medicine into a poison that can harm people. Fortunately, the doctors received timely treatment and the patients are currently only in a coma and are not in danger of their lives.

Lu Yanluo walked very quickly. After seeing several poisoned doctors in the tent, she took the others outside and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? You have been practicing medicine for many years. I don't believe you don't know that Aconitum and Cimicifuga are incompatible. What's going on?"

Several doctors looked at each other, and after a while they said, "Princess, we really don't know about this. We worked together to come up with the prescription, and there is no Aconitum in it. We also watched when the medicine was given, and there was no Aconitum at all. To be honest, we are also confused now."

Hearing this, Lu Yanluo had a guess in her mind: "Who made the medicine? Did he leave during the process of making the medicine?"

One of the doctors cupped his hands and said, "To answer your question, Princess, I boiled the medicine with my medicine boy. I was away for half a minute to bring something to my wife, but the medicine boy was always here."

Lu Yanluo's eyes turned colder, and she ordered Xiao Ran behind her: "Take someone to quietly capture the medicine boy and hand him over to the prince for interrogation. If I'm right, someone must be playing tricks in secret!"

Xiao Ran left as she was told and came back a quarter of an hour later with a serious expression on her face.

"Princess, the medicine boy confessed that he secretly put aconite in the medicine. The one who gave him the medicine was the housekeeper of Jinglan County Magistrate Liu He's mansion."

"The housekeeper captured Yao Tong's family members outside and used them to threaten him to do something. If he didn't obey, his family members would be burned alive."

"Liu He?" Lu Yanluo had never heard of this person.

Xiao Ran said, "The prince has already taken people to get the person. When he left, he told the princess to stay here and take care of herself, and leave the outside affairs to him."

The tiredness and stress of the past few days were instantly soothed. Lu Yanluo smiled knowingly, thinking that they had just met in a hurry and had not had time to say a few words. It was a pity. She really missed him.

I hope this epidemic will pass quickly.

Most of the doctors were sick, and the isolation center was suddenly short of staff. The patients also began to panic and wanted to leave.

Lu Yanluo guessed that someone was secretly instigating the people to cause trouble, but apart from appeasing them, there was no other way at the moment.

For several days in a row, some people sneaked out of the quarantine center and were caught again. The people were becoming more and more tense, but there was still no cure for the epidemic.

After staying up all night again, Lu Yanluo made a bold decision: she wanted to test the medicine on herself.

Unlike previous doctors, this time, Lu Yanluo had to infect herself with the disease before testing the medicine. This would help her better understand the symptoms and prescribe the right medicine.

Before doing this, Lu Yanluo did not dare to discuss it with Chu Xuan, because she knew that Chu Xuan would never agree.

So she had to act first and ask for permission later. She slept in the same bed with the sick person for a night. The next night, Lu Yanluo showed symptoms, starting with dizziness and tinnitus, followed by fatigue and nausea.

Enduring the physical discomfort, Lu Yanluo forced herself to take her own pulse and write a prescription.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

There were also faint sounds of swords being unsheathed.

Lu Yanluo thought something was not right, so she quickly put on her face mask and went out. As expected, there was chaos outside. Sick people swarmed around the gate, insisting on making a fuss to get out. The soldiers guarding the gate had already drawn their swords to stop them.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yanluo felt dizzy, and stroked the tent beside her and spoke reluctantly: "Why do you have to make a fuss to go out for no reason!"

One of the leaders shouted, "Why don't we get out! You are testing drugs on us! Do you think we don't know? Even the doctor was poisoned by the drug testing. If we stay here, we will die! Let us out!"

Lu Yanluo opened her mouth to explain, but the crowd didn't give her a chance and tried to break out while clamoring.

"You..." A feeling of powerlessness gradually engulfed Lu Yanluo. Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she fell to her knees.

The doctor who followed behind him heard the news and hurried forward to help the man up. He felt sorry for the people who were making trouble at the door and said loudly, "You ungrateful people! In order to cure you, the princess risked her life and infected herself with the disease, just to develop an antidote as soon as possible."

"You said we were testing medicine on you. Yes, we are testing medicine. We cannot estimate the symptoms of the disease, so we can only try. But even a princess of noble status has taken the lead, so what are you afraid of!"

As the doctor finished speaking, the people present looked at Lu Yanluo one after another. Only then did they realize that the princess, who was so high and mighty in their hearts, was now just like them. Her face was sallow, her lips were pale, and she was so weak that she could not even stand.

Everyone was so ashamed that they lowered their heads and were too embarrassed to face anyone.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo reluctantly spoke and soothed them, "Don't worry, everyone. The prescription will be developed soon, and then everyone will be able to go home safely. But not now. Think about your families. If you go out now, they will be at risk of being infected. Please wait for me for a few more days. I will definitely be able to develop a prescription."

"Princess..." Several women in the crowd sobbed and slowly knelt down: "Princess, we are sorry for you. We will wait. As long as you don't die, we will wait as long as it takes."

The rest of the people agreed, and Lu Yanluo slowly breathed a sigh of relief and arranged for people to resettle the people.
