Chapter 560 Extra - More Than a Month Left
Chen Ci paused for a moment: "She is on official business and has made great contributions to the development of the medicine. I will inform my father and perhaps she can return ahead of schedule."
Ye Qingning also knew that in this Wu Dynasty, where the emperor reigned supreme, imperial edicts were above all else.
If she were to return to the manor without permission, even if she were a concubine of the Crown Prince, she would still face dire consequences if reported, and her entire family might also be implicated.
but……
She was taken aback: "My sister has regained her memories?"
Chen Ci nodded: "Part of it."
Ye Qingning was about to ask something when Abao came over from the side with its cat-like steps, jumped onto Ye Qingning's lap in two steps, and meowed twice, seemingly asking for attention.
Ye Qingning had no time to think about anything else and immediately instructed Xiaodie to get some dried fish for Abao.
From a distance, Chen Ci looked at A Bao, who was lying obediently on Ye Qingning's lap. The two of them made eye contact, and Chen Ci's gaze suddenly paused.
It's clearly just a cat, but why does its gaze have such a clear and dangerous quality?
Although Ye Qingning mistook A Bao for Lin Feiyan, Chen Ci knew perfectly well that he wasn't.
That's why it's even stranger.
...
After instructing Chen Ci on how to prepare the medicine, Chu Song returned from the small kitchen. Just then, Chen Ci was about to take his leave, so Chu Song offered to see him off.
Ye Qingning was talking to A Bao, so she naturally responded when she heard this.
Chu Song then followed Chen Ci out of the main hall and walked along the corridor.
In a secluded spot, he caught up with Chen Ci and asked, "How long will it take to resolve this plague? With the medical conditions here, is it feasible?"
"Conservatively speaking, it will take about 45 days," Chen Ci said. "Perhaps because this is a world of plot, all that's needed is a process, so once the prescription is ready, it will definitely work."
Chu Song frowned slightly: "You mean, with or without your medical skills, you can cure this plague?"
Chen Ci paused for a moment, then sighed, "I don't know either. I always felt that even if I couldn't solve this problem, someone else would."
"So, this is part of the plot? At which point can we be freed?" Chu Song asked.
The thought of liberation brought a sudden pang of sorrow to Chen Ci's heart; this was a predetermined fate and arrangement.
He originally just came to complete the mission, and he never expected to fall in love with her.
He gritted his teeth slightly, curled his lips slightly, and patted Chu Song's shoulder: "Don't worry, boss, after the plague ends, it should be the end."
"So, there's still a little over a month left."
Chen Ci nodded: "Yes, there's still a little over a month left."
In other words, he had a little over a month left to spend with Shu Tong, after which he would leave this world and never have the chance to see her again.
That's fine.
Then give her the freedom she wants.
Let her soar freely in the vast sky and sea.
...
As Chen Ci had predicted, the plague was indeed resolved smoothly.
While the treatment and prevention prescriptions were being promoted, Chen Ci, in conjunction with the Imperial Medical Academy, made new arrangements, so that basically every patient had their own dedicated doctor, and the treatment was more effective.
In about fifteen days, the spread of the plague was completely brought under control. In another five days or so, the number of cured patients gradually increased, and some shops in the capital city were able to reopen under control.
Just when things were looking up, the bandits who had tried to rob the supply trucks secretly sent men to set fire to the supply depot in order to disrupt the capital and profit from it.
Even though fire prevention and theft prevention measures were in place in advance, and the guards discovered the fire immediately and carried out a rescue operation, some supplies were still burned, including a very important medicinal herb.
