The man being questioned looked embarrassed. "Not only has King Tufan deployed patrols throughout the city, but he has also strictly guarded all the major pharmacies in the imperial city!"
So there is no way to get herbs for Shao Lecheng...
Ni Yueshan frowned and followed him to the bedside. Shao Lecheng was still in a coma, and it was obvious that his condition was not simple...
"It's obviously not okay to leave the disease untreated! We have to find a solution!"
"If I want to be treated, I have to hire a doctor. However, the management of the pharmacy is so strict that it is even more difficult to come here for treatment!" The man replied again, feeling not only helpless but also embarrassed!
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan and said, "You are best at treating external injuries. Tell me a prescription and I will go steal the medicine after nightfall!"
Ni Yueshan walked forward to check Shao Lecheng's injuries. Because he had not received any medication for these days, the injured part of his leg was a little inflamed and even ulcerated.
The person fell into a coma due to the persistent high fever and his condition looked extremely serious.
Duan Gouqiong was beside him, feeling extremely conflicted and regretful. "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so impulsive. I would have escaped first and then had someone raise an army. How could I have ended up in such a mess?"
Ni Yueshan turned to look aside and said, "The only option left is to go to the pharmacy and take the risk. I'm afraid there are soldiers guarding inside and outside the major pharmacies. If I show up, I might be caught, and the consequences would be disastrous."
Ni Yueshan returned his gaze to Shao Lecheng, his expression becoming increasingly complicated: "But given his current condition, he obviously can't afford to delay any longer!"
Jing Yuchen didn't hesitate much. He said he would go at night, and then he went at night.
In the imperial city, even after nightfall, the patrolling soldiers still did not stop. However, despite such strict security every day, they still failed to find or catch anyone.
Looking at the patrolling soldiers, Jing Yuchen narrowed his narrow fox eyes slightly, then quickly flew down and headed towards the restaurant.
But after landing on the ground, he looked around again and still found nothing suspicious, so he prepared to fly in through the window.
Apart from the sound of patrolling soldiers passing slowly, everything around was quiet again. There was no sign of an ambush inside the store, so Jing Yuchen finally chose to climb in through the window.
Inside the shop, he blew out the fire stick to illuminate the surroundings, and quickly prepared the medicine one by one according to the prescription provided by Ni Yueshan.
After he had collected enough medicinal herbs, he quickly left. However, outside the window, soldiers were already lying in ambush on the street. As soon as he appeared, they attacked with their long swords...
Jing Yuchen frowned deeply, just wanting to send the medicinal materials away as soon as possible. As for these people, he didn't need to care about them.
So Jing Yuchen seized any opportunity and flew to the roof, hoping to escape.
The commotion here startled the guards elsewhere. A large number of soldiers rushed over, and it seemed difficult for him to escape. He was still knocking people down one by one. From the rooftop, several people in different attire flew over and landed beside Jing Yuchen, saying, "Master, leave first!"
Then a path was cleared for him, and Jing Yuchen flew away without any hesitation, and the sound of fighting behind him could no longer be heard.
Back at the inn, Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong were clearly waiting anxiously. When they saw him, they immediately approached him, "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Ni Yueshan looked Jing Yuchen up and down, his eyes full of worry.
Jing Yuchen patted Ni Yueshan's hand and said, "Go and boil some medicine for them."
Ni Yueshan nodded: "Okay."
Duan Gouqiong also asked worriedly: "Are you not injured? Remember to treat it as soon as possible, otherwise the wound will worsen!"
Jing Yuchen said helplessly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Duan Gouqiong didn't say anything more and waited for Ni Yueshan to come back with the medicine.
Decocting medicine will give off a strong medicinal smell. If the medicine is decocted in the inn room, the smell will inevitably spread out quickly, which is equivalent to exposing one's identity. In order to cover up this smell, Ni Yueshan had to prescribe mostly medicinal herbs for dressing wounds. Applying them on the wound can help quick healing, reduce inflammation and stop decay. There are only a few oral medicinal herbs, all of which are light-tasting medicines.
After finishing the work, Ni Yueshan went to apply medicine to Shao Lecheng. He had been in a coma since he was brought to the inn. It was really worrying.
Ni Yueshan sighed and said, "Gou Qiong, he's in a coma and may need another day or two. Don't worry too much. Yuchen has got enough herbs. Continuous application will help reduce the fever!"
Duan Gouqiong has been watching over Shao Lecheng with concern. If this continues, it will not help Shao Lecheng's injuries and will also hurt himself!
Duan Gouqiong didn't say much, just nodded, but he still sat by the bed without resting.
Ni Yueshan had no choice but to walk towards Jing Yuchen.
Jing Yuchen was sitting outside the living room at this time, leaning against the chair and wanting to take a nap. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes.
"Yueshan, we need Qiao Zhuang to dress up and leave the city, otherwise we will be trapped here."
Ni Yueshan said solemnly, "You are only allowed to enter, not leave. If you were alone, you might be able to successfully jump over the city wall and leave. But it would be too difficult to take me, Gou Qiong and the others with you!"
"Even so, it would be too dangerous to stay here any longer. We need to create a riot!"
Ni Yueshan fell silent, apparently thinking about how to create a riot.
Because there were too many people in the city, who only came in but never left, the problem of overcrowding gradually emerged. Every inn was full, and some people even raised their prices.
Ni Yueshan was thankful she had brought enough money. She looked at the waiter and asked with a troubled look on her face, "I don't know how long we'll be trapped in the city. If we continue to stay at the inn, I'm worried we won't have enough money."
Ni Yueshan was dressed as a mother-in-law. She coughed slightly while speaking and looked extremely unwell.
The waiter helplessly responded: "Only the king can decide this matter. We are ordinary people, how can we speculate? You also know that many people have no place to live, so they will call out high prices themselves. This is not charging more for the room. This is unlikely."
The waiter spoke the truth. Ni Yueshan had no intention of blaming him. He just smiled and said, "Young man, you are quite straightforward."
Then she closed the door and Jing Yuchen listened from the side.
Jing Yuchen said solemnly, "Since we've trapped so many people in the city, they'll naturally complain over time. If things go on any longer and they run out of food and clothing, they'll resort to robbing. The weak will starve to death, and chaos in the city is inevitable."
"And the people I sent are also in the city, so it's okay for them to instigate the riots!" Jing Yuchen looked very confident, and Ni Yueshan also believed in Jing Yuchen's ability.
She nodded, "Okay, you arrange it."
