The next day, Jing Yuchen went to Ni Yueshan's room and saw that Ni Yueshan was still drowsy, feeling guilty.
"I'm sorry, Yueshan. Your condition was gradually improving. It's my fault. If I hadn't asked you to sit in the courtyard for a while, you wouldn't have caught a cold again and your condition would have worsened."
His face was filled with heartache and self-blame. Qingluan, standing beside him, said, "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with you. The princess was wearing so much clothing yesterday, and the weather was so hot, there was no way she would catch a cold from the wind again."
"It's just because the Queen Mother cut off the supply of medicinal materials to the palace. Without the complete set of medicinal materials, how can we recover? Your Highness, please set off quickly!"
Jing Yuchen nodded solemnly, stood up and walked towards the screen.
After Jing Yuchen left, Ni Yueshan woke up not long after.
After asking Jing Yuchen if he could leave, Qingluan spoke up to comfort him, "Princess, don't worry. Your health hasn't improved. In my opinion, it's not only because you don't have enough medicine, but also because you're still worried even though you're sick! This is not good for your recovery!"
Ni Yueshan frowned as he looked at the medicine in front of him. The black medicine was simply a dark dish, so unpalatable that it made his scalp numb.
"Okay." Ni Yueshan gritted his teeth and drank the medicine.
After leaving the palace, Jing Yuchen and Qiao Zhuang dressed up as ordinary people and went to various major pharmacies to ask for medicine.
Although all the major pharmacies did not have a complete range of medicinal materials, Jing Yuchen was willing to pay a high price and eventually managed to gather all the medicinal materials.
At the same time, he instructed someone to deliver a message to Lin Yushan.
After finishing his business, Jing Yuchen returned to the palace through the tunnel.
Allowing people to enter and leave Ni Yueshan's room was not to spread the disease to others, but just to take turns to move the soil used in digging the tunnel out of the room.
It's easy to change people, regardless of time, they just keep working and digging tunnels.
Even if Miao Qinghua discovered something unusual in the palace, as long as he was careful and cautious, he would not be afraid of his tunnel digging being exposed.
After all, the soil has been moved away, and the entrance to the tunnel is covered with wooden boards, carpeted and furnished. People who sneak in dare not search and make noise, so no one can tell what is going on.
After returning to the room from the tunnel, Jing Yuchen changed his dirty shoes and handed the medicinal herbs to Qingluan, who took them to the kitchen to mix them together and boil them.
Seeing Ni Yueshan fall asleep again, he stepped forward with a distressed look and reached out to grab Ni Yueshan's hand, "If you continue to sleep, you will become a skeleton and lose your beauty. Then I will abandon you in the end."
Under normal circumstances, Ni Yueshan would definitely retort after hearing this, but now, Ni Yueshan closed his eyes and did not react at all.
At the same time, Lin Yushan received a message from Jing Yuchen and was somewhat surprised.
The palace was surrounded by people, but Jing Yuchen still had the ability to pass the message out.
He opened the note and read it. It said, "Need someone from outside the city to read out the prescription."
Lin Yushan looked confused and didn't quite understand. How to pronounce it?
An hour later, Lin Yushan led several soldiers to the city wall and shouted to the people below, "Everyone has worked hard to resist the plague. I also know that many people do not trust the Prime Minister and still choose to defend the city gates!"
"However, defending the city gates and entering the city will only affect the safety of the people inside and accelerate the spread of the plague. But I can't just watch you starve. Please accept my kindness!"
As he said this, he winked at the person behind him, and immediately someone threw a steamed bun wrapped in oil paper down.
At this time, other generals came over and said, "Wait! Stop it!"
The group of people throwing steamed buns on the city wall finally stopped.
"Commander Lin, what are you doing?"
"I can't bear to see the people outside the city starve to death, but my ability is limited. I can only throw some steamed buns to them to fill their stomachs!"
The visitor obviously didn't believe Lin Yushan's nonsense. He picked up a steamed bun, looked at it, and then opened it.
He opened his mouth and began to eat, but there was nothing unusual in the bun. He was still suspicious and said to the patrol soldiers behind him, "Didn't everyone say they were hungry just now?"
Then he looked at Lin Yushan and smiled, "My brother takes a few to fill his stomach, do you mind?"
"If you're not willing to give me a few steamed buns, wouldn't that be too stingy? Take it!"
After hearing this, the soldier behind did not hesitate and took the steamed buns.
He took the steamed bun in his hand and ate it in front of Lin Yushan, but he did not find anything unusual, and there was nothing suspicious on the oil paper.
In the end, he left with his men.
Lin Yushan breathed a sigh of relief. The refugees below rushed over. It was obvious that the few people lost just now were not enough.
Lin Yushan ordered his men to continue throwing the steamed buns. The buns fell to the ground, wrapped in oil paper, but not stained. They were even still steaming...
“Thank you, good man, thank you, good man!”
He scanned the crowd below, hoping to spot a familiar figure.
Seeing that all the steamed buns were about to be lost, and he still didn't see any familiar figure, he just sighed when he saw a figure slowly walking towards him.
The man, holding a sword in his arms, had a serious look on his face and a cold aura. He stood outside the group of refugees, forming a sharp contrast with them.
Lin Yushan's eyes lit up instantly, and then he dropped the steamed bun in his hand.
The steamed bun rolled down beside Zou Yangyao. He looked down at his feet and then at Lin Yushan.
Lin Yushan was anxious and wanted to ask him to pick it up quickly, but he was surrounded by soldiers and could only remain silent.
One was on the city wall, the other was under the city, they were so far apart that they couldn't see each other's expressions at all.
At this time, a down-and-out man ran towards Zou Yangyao and bent down to pick up the steamed buns on the ground. Zou Yangyao glanced at him coldly and turned away.
Lin Yushan punched the city wall, feeling extremely bad.
The man who picked up the steamed bun was about to lift the oil paper and start eating.
Unexpectedly, a figure walked towards him, and a small sharp blade was pressed against his waist. The man looked at the person in horror: "Don't, don't hurt me, I, I, I'll give it to you."
Outside the city, in an alley, a man in tattered clothes walked in and reported to the people inside: "General Zou, the steamed buns have been brought here as you ordered."
Zou Yangyao turned around and took the steamed bun in his hand.
That day, Ni Gaofei was able to land safely outside the city thanks to the help of his good friend whom Lin Yushan had asked him to help. Otherwise, Ni Gaofei might be a corpse now.
Naturally, Lin Yushan would also side with the Prime Minister's Mansion. He would not feel sorry for the people outside the city for no reason. Now that he had cut off contact with Jing Yuchen in the city, anyone related to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion might be helping Jing Yuchen.
How can he not be more careful?
Moreover, many people know his identity, so if he picks up the steamed buns, it will definitely attract other people's attention.
After Zou Yangyao left, he went to find Ni Gaofei and handed over the note.
Ni Gaofei was surprised. There was flour on the note?
"What does it mean to read out the prescription?"
He stroked his beard and frowned tightly.
