The emperor had already prepared everything for this plague, so the supplies needed for disaster relief were delivered quickly.
But at this moment, Yao Guangyue didn't know that the heroine in the plot was also on the road and had even arrived at the disaster area earlier.
Wen Xiuting's arrival caught the third prince off guard, but he was the queen's younger brother after all, so he had to give him enough face.
"Why is Uncle Wen here? He's here to provide disaster relief. If you were coming, why didn't you tell me so I could send someone to pick you up?"
Wen Xiuting always looks gentle and smiling when he is outside. At this moment, he pretends to look at the third prince with a worried look.
"It's not that I didn't want to tell His Majesty, but I was worried that the epidemic would spread too seriously. I happened to find a famous doctor and brought him here overnight. For a moment, I forgot that His Majesty was already here, helping the people at His Majesty's behest."
Wen Xiuting did feel very strange. The recent actions of the royal family were too unexpected.
First, the second prince found his own secret brothel garden without any trace, and now the third prince went out to write a medicine book and accidentally saved the day.
It was as if there was some mysterious power secretly helping them, allowing them to gain the upper hand in everything.
"It's just a coincidence that the Third Prince happened to be here collecting medicinal herbs from all over the world to compile the Pharmacopoeia, and then a great disaster happened here. Fortunately, the Third Prince intervened in time, thus preventing a large number of people from suffering!"
The Third Prince also smiled. He didn't want this person to find out anything. If he found out that his sister was a little divine beast, who knows what bad things he would do!
"It was indeed a coincidence. I happened to come here to collect medicinal herbs and look for famous doctors to compile it. I didn't expect to encounter such a disaster and almost had an accident!"
"Although we've avoided the flood disaster, many people are now falling ill. This has kept me awake at night these past few days."
Wen Xiuting smiled, looking pleasantly surprised. He clapped his hands and said, "That's perfect. The famous doctor I found knows how to treat illnesses. Why not let her come and take a look?"
The third prince felt a little uneasy, always feeling that the person he brought was not that simple.
As expected, the third prince's eyes widened as the other party got off the carriage.
Although the person who got off the bus was wearing men's clothes, her stature made it clear that she was a woman.
And those eyes are very familiar, isn't this Qin Xuezhen?
But the Third Prince didn't dare to see through her identity just like that, otherwise when Wen Xiuting asked him why he cared so much about this woman?
He really had no way to answer this question. A prince who was of marriageable age suddenly started paying attention to a girl from an official family.
If this news gets back, Qin Xue will really have to enter his palace.
Helpless, the Third Prince could only play dumb and ask, "Where did this famous doctor come from? And how can you prove that you can cure this plague?"
Qin Xuezhen walked forward. She had gotten used to observing women's etiquette during this period of time and almost knelt down to salute.
Fortunately, when she lowered her head, she noticed Wen Xiuting's eyes, which were like poisonous snakes, and Qin Xuezhen reacted immediately.
He then clasped his fists and bowed, "My name is Xue Zhen, and my father is a doctor who lives in seclusion."
"The local people are now suffering from a plague called malaria. The root cause of the disease is unclean drinking water. If we ban people from drinking river water from now on, we can control the plague."
The third prince couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
He simply explained calmly, "We already know about this and have already issued an order that no one is allowed to drink the water from the river."
Qin Xue was really dumbfounded now. She looked at the two men in front of her at a loss. Seeing some anger in Wen Xiuting's eyes, she lowered her head and acted like a turtle again.
Wen Xiuting remembered Qin Xuezhen's words that there couldn't be malaria in this world that no one else recognized, so he pretended to ask casually, "How did your Highness know that this was malaria? Our dynasty has never heard of such a disease before."
The Third Prince had already prepared an explanation, but it was waiting for him: "This prince did not call this plague malaria. I only know that most people who had not drunk the river water in the past period of time were fine. Only those who did not drink the water will get sick."
"So after the local doctors treated the patient, they confirmed that there was something wrong with the water. Out of concern for controlling the plague, I immediately issued an order."
Although Wen Xiuting had doubts in his heart, this was indeed the only reasonable explanation.
"So that's how it is."
When Wen Xiuting said this, his eyes were fixed on Qin Xuezhen fiercely.
Qin Xue was so frightened by his look that she shuddered, and then hurriedly told him the way to cure the disease.
"Simply ordering people not to drink river water won't completely cure the plague. To cure this plague, we must find a medicinal herb called Artemisia annua. Only this herb can cure the plague."
The Third Prince suppressed his laughter and nodded sincerely, replying, "We already know this. We not only found Artemisia annua, but also Artemisia annua."
"You might not know, my miracle doctor, but a few days ago, many people were short of food and dug up these two herbs as wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. Unexpectedly, everyone who ate these herbs experienced significant improvement in their condition."
Qin Xuezhen was shocked. Wouldn't this make her useless?
After realizing this, Qin Xuezhen swallowed nervously, lowered her head and couldn't help glancing around.
At this time, I suddenly discovered that people here only use clear water to boil Artemisia annua, which greatly reduces its efficacy.
Before Wen Xiuting got angry, Qin Xuezhen grabbed the third prince's sleeve and offered him some magic.
"You are using Artemisia annua incorrectly. You cannot boil it with water. You should use strong liquor to cook it. Only in this way can you maximize the efficacy of Artemisia annua."
After hearing her method, the Third Prince still had some doubts in his heart, although he knew that she was the heroine and according to the original plot, it was she who controlled the plague.
But who knows if what she is saying now is true?
Moreover, Yao Guangyue once said that in order to win more people's hearts, the heroine deliberately waited until the plague was about to get out of control before taking action.
At that time, she lived and ate with the victims. Even when someone later revealed that she had made a fortune from the national disaster, no people blamed her.
While the third prince was thinking, Wan Yuanzong came with people to deliver a new batch of medicinal materials.
"Third Prince, we have searched all over Wanhe Mountain, but Artemisia annua is extremely difficult to find. Right now, the only thing left is Artemisia vulgaris."
When Qin Xuezhen heard Wan Heshan's name, something suddenly flashed through her mind.
At that time, she was kidnapped and taken to the woodshed of the brothel garden. When she was confused, she seemed to hear someone mention this name.
It was said that they had captured a woman from the martial arts world, who claimed to be the young master of Wanhe Mountain.
