“Check the herbs?” Song Jingchen was puzzled.


Shen Yijia was a little smug. “They sent it in from outside the city. I was afraid that they’d made a mistake, so Xuanyuan Ziming asked me to take a look.”


With Eunuch Wu supervising, the medicinal herbs sent over were naturally fine. Seeing that there were a lot of things, Shen Yijia wanted to help carry them down the city tower, so she did not leave directly.


When she was about to move it, the soldier walking in front of her lost his balance and almost threw the two sacks of Cang Shu out of the city wall.


Cang Shu was one of the important medicinal herbs for treating the plague this time. In her hurry, she reached out to grab it, but she used too much strength and accidentally cut her palm.


Shen Yijia’s physique was special. When she woke up today, she looked much better.


After hearing her finish, Song Jingchen’s heart ached. He looked at her nervously and asked, “Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Did Mother check on you?”


In the past few days, those who had been infected with the plague were either weaker or injured.


“No, no.” Shen Yijia waved her hand repeatedly. “I was afraid that Mother would be worried, so I didn’t dare to tell her, but I’m really fine.”


She felt that Song Jingchen definitely didn’t take her words to heart. She said seriously, “You don’t know, right? Bai Zhi fell in the pharmacy yesterday and only scratched her skin. She fell sick today, but look at me.” She shook her hand. “I’m completely fine.”


If it was because the pharmacy was too close to the quarantine area that Bai Zhi fell sick, she had also returned to the pharmacy after being injured. Song Jingchen felt inexplicably uneasy. He pursed his lips and said, “Don’t go for the next few days. Go home and wait for your injuries to recover before going out.”


“Why?” Shen Yijia asked. She originally wanted to enter the quarantine area to help her mother. Anyway, she wouldn’t get sick.


Song Jingchen habitually reached out to rub her head, but he thought of something and retracted his hand. He said seriously, “What you said just now was just your guess. What if Bai Zhi contracted the plague because she touched something else?”


Shen Yijia thought that it made sense. She pulled his hand and rubbed it against her head. She grinned and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”


Song Jingchen was helpless. “Hurry up and go back.”


“Oh.” Shen Yijia looked at him reluctantly and turned around. After taking two steps, she jogged back.


“By the way, I almost forgot. I came to deliver this to you.”


She took out two medicine bags and stuffed one into Song Jingchen’s hand.


“Give this to Thirty Thousand later.”


She tied the other one to him. “Mother said that this has some anti-epidemic effects. You run around every day. Remember to bring it with you.”


Song Jingchen opened his mouth.


Knowing what he was going to ask, Shen Yijia said directly, “Other people have it too, but Mother can’t do it alone, so she made one for each of us. Today, I’m going to get those aunties to make it together and get someone else to go to the pharmacy to brew the medicine.”


At this point, Shen Yijia had no intention of helping. Her needlework was horrible.


Forget it, forget it. She could still do some physical work, since there was a lack of manpower now. It was better to save everyone some needlework.


Shen Yijia obediently turned around and left. After watching her walk away, Song Jingchen turned around and went back.


Unexpectedly, he met pairs of teasing gazes.


“Lord Song is so lucky to have a beautiful wife at home.”


“We also heard that Lord Song and Madam Song have a touching love story.


Tell us about it tomorrow.”


Song Jingchen glanced at Thirty Thousand and hesitated to give him the medicine bag.


Thirty Thousand felt aggrieved. He only said that Young Madam was capable. Why did those words get twisted in these people’s mouths?


Someone came out to smooth things over. “Look at the two of you. How can you ask about Lord Song and Madam Song? If you have the ability, find a beautiful woman and marry her.”


The soldier who spoke first said seriously, “As long as the plague in Phoenix City pa.s.ses, I’ll really go to the Cui Hua family to propose marriage.”


Everyone paused. This team that was left behind had been carefully selected. They were all alone with no parents or children.


This was because if they were unlucky and contracted the plague, at least no one would be sad and miserable for them. They would not destroy a family because of this.


The low atmosphere lasted for only a moment before someone teased, “Cui


Hua? Could it be the widow selling tofu on East Street?” The soldier blushed. “Don’t speak of her that way. She has a name.”


The guess was correct. Everyone burst into laughter.


If one observed carefully, many people had bitter expressions on their faces.


Some even had red eyes.


Over the past two days, many of their brothers had moved into the quarantine area. No one knew if they would be next.


Song Jingchen lowered his eyes and looked at the medicine bag tied to his waist. These people were also the epitome of Great Xia’s future soldiers.


However, he knew that the war between Great Xia and the Wu Kingdom was like this plague in the Xuanyuan Kingdom. He could not avoid it.


“Master, I didn’t say anything.” Thirty Thousand still remembered that he owed a punishment, afraid that he would be punished again.


Song Jingchen glanced at him and threw the medicine bag in his hand over to him.


Thirty Thousand was stunned. He noticed that Song Jingchen also had one tied to his waist and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Master.”


“Be careful,” Song Jingchen said.


With that, he ignored the people who were holding the medicine bag and went back to work.


Because he was worried about Shen Yijia’s injury, Song Jingchen left the matter to others and went home first.


As soon as he entered the alley, he saw the two of them sitting on the threshold, waiting for him.


Song Jingchen was speechless.


Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. “You’re back.”


When Xuanyuan Ce heard this, he quickly stood up and brought out another basin from behind.


Shen Yijia blinked and realized that Xuanyuan Ce mistakenly thought Ji Luo had returned. She quickly hushed Song Jingchen.


The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched, and he swallowed the words he was about to say.


Xuanyuan Ce held the basin and revealed a smile that he thought was mesmerizing. “Ah Luo is back. Quickly wash your hands.”


Every time Ji Luo entered the house, she would clean her hands with water soaked in apricot leaves. Then, she would take a medicinal bath before giving


xuanyuan ce acupuncture.


Xuanyuan Ce naturally found an opportunity to curry favor.


Shen Yijia quickly gave Song Jingchen a look. “Wash your hands quickly.”


Song Jingchen thought to himself, “That’s not good. After all, he’s an elder.”


Shen Yijia thought to herself, “What’s wrong with that? My mother never washes her hands with the water he serves. He might still be very happy if you wash your hands now.”


Song Jingchen was speechless.


Even if he was happy, it was because His Highness had mistaken him for someone else.


“Ah Luo?” Xuanyuan Ce asked suspiciously.


Shen Yijia panicked. She went forward and grabbed Song Jingchen’s hand, pressing it into the basin. “Mother, clean your hands.”


Song Jingchen was speechless.


Just as Shen Yijia had guessed, Xuanyuan Ce smiled even more like a fool.


After Song Jingchen washed his hands, he took out a handkerchief from somewhere.


Song Jingchen took it hesitantly.


Xuanyuan Ce smiled and said, “I’ve already boiled the water. Go and take a shower first.”


Shen Yijia pushed Song Jingchen home. “Yes, yes, yes. Mother, quickly take a


shower. ”


Song Jingchen thought to himself, “Are you addicted to calling me that?”


Xuanyuan Ce did not know that his daughter had tricked him again, nor did Ji Luo know that someone was pretending to be her at home.


She was still discussing the improvement of the prescription with the doctors.


“Doctor, Doctor, my wife is burning up again. Hurry up and take a look.” A sudden roar sounded from outside the door.


Hearing this voice, the doctors in the room did not look too good..
