Yun Duoduo took a face mask out of her bosom.
"These are masks I saw in a medical book. I would like to ask Uncle Xu and the people from the Imperial Wardrobe to make masks and distribute them to the people in the palace."
"You don't need any fancy materials, just thick cotton fabric will do. Of course, waterproof fabric would be even better."
Yun Duoduo wasn't sure what materials were available in Nanyang, but she knew that entrusting this matter to Xu Zheng would be the right thing to do.
Xu Zheng was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, a well-read and knowledgeable man.
Although Nanyang doesn't yet have non-woven fabric, having some is better than having none.
Xu Zheng and the young healer looked at the mask with some curiosity, examining it back and forth in their hands.
“My lord, this thing looks quite special,” the junior official said.
"If you wear something like this on your face, you can prevent the spread of disease through droplets and sneezes."
"Yes, and it's much more useful than a veil."
Xu Zheng nodded.
[The princess certainly has a lot of ideas; I've lived for decades and never seen anything like it.]
After chatting for a while, Yun Duoduo left only after confirming that the Imperial Medical Academy would begin preparations.
I hope that during the time my grandmother and I are away from Nanyang, my father will also be safe and sound.
...
The next day at noon, Ah Xiang and Xiao Liu found a suitable house outside.
The two returned to the palace, handed the key to the villa to Yun Duoduo, and drew a detailed map for her.
They said the villa was all cleaned up and furnished, and we could go there anytime.
“Princess, this villa is at the end of Shiya Road. Just turn past a huge willow tree and you will see it.”
Yun Duoduo nodded in satisfaction, "Okay."
She never doubted Ah Xiang and Xiao Liu's competence.
"Since everything is prepared, I'll go take a look."
These past few days, Yun Duoduo has been extremely busy.
"Aunt Xiang, tell the drivers to get ready and stop the carriage in front of the palace gate. I'm going to the clinic."
"Yes, Princess."
...
Ah Xiang followed Yun Duoduo to the clinic. After seeing patients all day, Yun Duoduo went to the inn to see Granny Xue in the evening.
Once on the second floor, Yun Duoduo knocked on the door using the pre-arranged code.
Zheng Ningxiang, who came out to open the door, made way for Yun Duoduo to go in.
"Grandma Xue!"
Yun Duoduo looked inside and saw Grandma Xue sitting at the table. She noticed that Grandma Xue seemed to be in better spirits.
"You can get out of bed now, so it seems you're recovering very well!"
"This old woman's life is not easy for even the King of Hell to take!"
"This is all thanks to the young master." Zheng Ningxiang poured a cup of tea for Yun Duoduo.
"That's right, with me here, there will be no surprises."
Yun Duoduo proudly raised her head.
She gestured for Granny Xue to sit at the table, and then sat next to her to take her pulse.
Grandma Xue looked at Yun Duoduo with a kind expression.
"Yes, it's definitely much better."
"I'll send someone to deliver some more tonics then."
"By the way, Ningxiang, this is a house that was prepared for Granny Xue. Once Granny Xue is fully recovered, you can take her there."
Yun Duoduo handed the map to Zheng Ningxiang.
Grandma Xue's eyes lit up with joy; she hadn't expected the child to be so thoughtful.
As expected, I didn't misjudge him.
"I'm going on a long trip in a few days, so I won't be able to come over."
Yun Duoduo grasped Grandma Xue's hand and pointed to a small box on the table.
"Ningxiang, this is the medicine and the method of using it. As long as you follow this prescription, Granny Xue's illness will definitely get better."
"As for the tonics, I'll have them delivered directly to the house later."
"Thank you, Young Master."
Zheng Ningxiang was deeply moved. She was surprised by Yun Duoduo's maturity and understanding, and even more surprised by the Pavilion Master's eye for talent. She was certain that the Plum Blossom Pavilion would be well taken into the hands of the young Pavilion Master in the future.
"Oh, no need to be so polite."
"The hairpin and sachet that Granny Xue gave me once saved my life."
Yun Duoduo recalled that after being captured by that old madman Xi Jing, the Crown Prince of Western Chu, she escaped to Zisu Mountain. If it weren't for Granny Xue's hairpin and sachet, she would probably have been eaten by those wolves long ago.
"From now on, we are family."
Grandma Xue took Yun Duoduo's hand.
"Duoduo, you just said you're going on a long trip?"
Yun Duoduo nodded.
"Yes, be careful on the road. You should keep the hairpin and sachet with you at all times."
Grandma Xue's eyes were smiling.
"Okay, Duoduo understands."
Yun Duoduo didn't think much of it, assuming that Granny Xue had told her to protect the two items.
"Yes, it's good to wear it. In case we encounter a pack of wolves, we'll be better off."
Even if it's not a group of wolves, you can still bluff to save your own life.
...
After leaving the Penglai Inn, Yun Duoduo prepared to return to the palace.
As Yun Duoduo passed by the clinic, she saw Xiaoying standing at the door, craning her neck and looking around, as if she was looking for someone.
"Xiaoying? What's wrong?"
The clinic was always full of patients who came and went after their treatment, and she was a little curious about who Xiaoying was waiting for.
"Princess, you've finally arrived! I was worried that... uh, Master Xiao wouldn't come."
It turns out Xiaoying was waiting for me.
Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yun Duoduo.
"What's wrong?"
"The girl we rescued yesterday has woken up, but she won't speak or eat much."
"If this continues, the wounds on my body will definitely not heal well, and I will be extremely weak."
Xiaoying said awkwardly, her two hands tangled together helplessly.
"Quick, take me to see this."
Walking into the inner room, Yun Duoduo saw the girl curled up in a corner on the couch. She walked over gently and patted her shoulder. The girl turned around in fright, staring with wide eyes.
"It's me, don't be afraid."
Seeing that it was Yun Duoduo, the girl lowered her guard.
"What's your name? Where do you live? Do you need us to take you home?"
The girl didn't speak, she just shook her head.
"It's okay, just focus on recovering at the clinic. Everyone here is a good person. Xiaoying and Aunt Sheng will take good care of you, right?" Yun Duoduo turned around and asked the two of them.
"Yes, we'll take good care of you!"
The two nodded vigorously.
"So, you need to eat well and take good care of your injury."
Yun Duoduo looked at the girl on the couch. She seemed to have tears in the corners of her eyes, but then, in an instant, the girl's eyes turned cold again.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Duoduo said, "Since you don't have a name, how about I call you Red Flower?"
Xiaoying frowned, thinking the name was a bit tacky.
"Young master, isn't a red flower a bit tacky?"
Xiaoying spoke in a low voice, glancing at the girl's expression as she spoke.
