After learning that Si Xueyi had left, Lin Zan instantly smiled triumphantly, crossed his legs, picked up the cake beside him, and ate it with relish.
"You little girl, you still have two faces." Jun Beiqi couldn't help but say with a smile as he looked at Lin Zan whose face turned into a smiling one.
Lin Zhan said with reason. "Who says in this world that whoever cries is right? I have no other choice but to do this."
"You're making a farce. But why is Miss Si hostile towards you so soon after entering the palace? Did you do something?" Jun Beiqi narrowed his eyes and asked Lin Zan.
Lin Zan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, is this the natural hostility that arises when the heroine and the supporting actress meet?
This must be the case. After all, the setting of the original book cannot be changed. Lin Zhan nodded secretly in her heart, but she never thought that Jun Beiqi heard all her thoughts.
"There's no need for a reason to like or hate someone. Maybe Si Xueyi just hates me." Lin Zan said vaguely while eating.
The natural hostility made Jun Beiqi frown slightly, and then he didn't ask any more questions.
Without Si Xueyi being an eyesore, Lin Zhan devoted all his energy to treating the plague.
Sorting and preparing medicinal materials are things that Lin Zan likes to do, and she is very good at it, which makes her master very unbelievable.
Lin Zhan sorted the herbs she had picked into different categories, but found a purple dried fruit among the pile. Curiously, she put the fruit under her nose and sniffed it.
"There is no obvious pungent smell. What kind of medicinal herb is this? Could it have been accidentally mixed into the pile of medicinal herbs?" Lin Zan murmured to himself. He became interested and started comparing the purple dried fruit with the medical book.
The sky quickly changed from bright to dark, and night had quietly fallen, but Lin Zhan was unaware of it as he was completely immersed in the medical book.
"Found it, found it. This is the dried fruit of the snake fruit. Maybe I picked it by accident." Lin Zan said happily.
At this moment, the tent was opened and Jun Beiqi walked in. Seeing the bright smile on Lin Zhan's face, he couldn't help but feel relieved for a moment. "What happened? You look so happy."
"I found a medicinal herb that I have never seen before. It can be regarded as a discovery of something new, so I am very happy." Lin Zhan put the dried fruits in his hand in front of Jun Beiqi like a child, his chubby little face full of cuteness.
Jun Beiqi reached out his hand to take the dried fruit from Lin Zhan's hand, but Lin Zhan quickly held it in his arms, looked at him with a vigilant expression and said, "What are you doing? This is mine."
Seeing Lin Zhan acting like a little kid protecting his food, Jun Beiqi couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I'm just taking a look, I'm not going to take it away."
"Okay then, I'll just show you one look!" Lin Zan said very seriously, and then solemnly placed the purple dried fruit in Jun Beiqi's palm.
Jun Beiqi didn't know much about medicinal herbs. She took a look at it and returned it to Lin Zan. Then an idea flashed in her mind. She thought that although this purple dried fruit was highly toxic, it would be an excellent medicinal herb after being processed.
Thinking that this medicinal material might be added to the medicine for patients, Lin Zhan became interested.
“Your Highness, why don’t you find more people and ask them to go up the mountain to find these purple fruits for me. Maybe they can be used as medicine.” Lin Zhan said, waving his hands excitedly.
Jun Beiqi looked at her lovingly, then put his big hand on her hair and rubbed it in a good mood. "Just as you said, I will definitely satisfy you."
Listening to his words, Lin Zhan nodded happily.
It has to be said that Jun Beiqi is very efficient. On the next day, he organized a group of people to go up the mountain to collect herbs. In the evening, they found a basket of snake fruit.
It takes a long time to prepare these fruits. When she came to the stove and saw that it was half a head taller than her, Lin Zhan couldn't help but pout and feel a little worried.
Then Lin Zhan trotted to the side and found a small stool. He climbed onto the stool panting and asked someone to pour all the purple fruits into the pot and start cooking them.
"Junior sister, what are you doing?" Qin Shang looked at Lin Zan's behavior with some curiosity.
Jun Beiqi also shook his head honestly, but Lin Zan's eyes were as bright as stars as he stared at the purple fruits in the pot, which were slowly being fried out of their moisture and turned into wrinkled dried fruits.
An hour later, Lin Zhan's arms, as thick as lotus roots, were too tired to lift.
At this time, the director came over and saw this scene with a look of amazement. He said to Lin Zhan, "The fruits of these snake fruits are used as medicine."
"Yes, Master. I have checked the medical books. The processed snake fruit is a top-grade medicinal material. You may try adding it to the prescription." Lin Zhan was sweating profusely. His little face was baked red by the flames, like a ripe peach, very cute.
The dean touched his beard, then nodded in agreement, and quickly added the snake fruit prepared by Lin Zhan into the prescription.
Something unexpected happened: the condition of those patients infected with the plague was controlled and improved at a speed visible to the naked eye within a short period of time.
This is simply a panacea for treating the plague!
Seeing the patients' conditions gradually improving, Lin Zhan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The plague was finally over and did not cause large-scale casualties.
Just after the epidemic was fully under control, Jun Beiqi was about to take everyone away. When they left, the rescued patients stood on both sides of the long street and watched them leave.
"Miss Lin is truly the boy from the Bodhisattva's side who has come down to earth to save us."
"I hope Miss Lin will have a safe and smooth life without any disaster or illness."
The people along the street watched the convoy leave and kept saying words of blessing, but most of them were about Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan was quite moved by their gratitude. He opened the curtain, a happy smile appeared on his chubby little face, and he waved at them.
"What are you so proud of? You just saved some low-class people." Haitang said viciously.
Si Xueyi, who was sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. Although she was dissatisfied, she still said, "She is loved by the people because of her ability. We don't have to be jealous. The future emperor is the one we should pay attention to."
"Miss is right." Haitang quickly agreed and quickly lowered the curtain.
The Southwest Disaster Relief Project ended just like that, but Lin Zan still felt a little dazed, as if it was a little unreal.
