Chapter 239 Plague 2

Chapter 239 Plague 2

At this moment, a drowsy woman heard the commotion and immediately woke up. She picked up her child, knelt down and walked to the three pharmacists, crying out, "Are you all pharmacists? Please, save my child."

Pharmacist An, who was closest, quickly moved to the side.

Han Moyuan shook his head helplessly and bent down to help the poor mother and child up, but Fang Qi stopped him halfway through, saying, "Pharmacist Han, you mustn't. They both have the plague virus in their bodies and could be infected at any time."

Han Moyuan hesitated for a moment, but still stood up straight.

"I beg you, my poor child is only three years old." The woman's tears kept falling.

"We will do our best," Han Moyuan could only say, as he couldn't guarantee that he could be cured.

When Pharmacist An and Xuanyuan Lang expressed their desire to return, Xuanyuan Lang refused outright, stating righteously, "Don't even think about going back until the plague is eradicated."

For seven consecutive days, Fang Qi and Han Moyuan worked day and night to prepare the antidote, but each time the patient's condition would just start to improve before it would worsen again.

The matter was quickly reported to Ye Li, who wanted to go in person, but was stopped by the ministers.

Little did she know that Ye Liuli had overheard the seriousness of the matter outside the palace. She wanted to help Ye Li and remembered that she had studied medicine at Yongrentang before, so she thought she should be able to do something to help.

So Ye Liuli changed into some light clothes, secretly found a fast horse, and headed towards the southern border.

Not long after Liuli left the palace that night, a palace maid came to report: "Something terrible has happened, the princess has gone missing!"

The journey that should have taken two days was completed in a day and a night by Ye Liuli. When Xuan Yuanlang and General Sun saw Ye Liuli, they were initially surprised, but then they were determined to persuade her to return to the palace.

"I'm not leaving. This is my brother's territory, and I have a responsibility to help." Ye Liuli sat angrily in the tent, refusing to listen to anyone.

"Princess, please don't be willful. If anything happens to you, I can't bear the responsibility." General Sun was afraid that if Ye Liuli didn't return, the Night Emperor would blame him.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. I've studied medicine and I know how to protect myself," Ye Liuli said, then chased the two of them out.

General Sun and Xuanyuan Lang looked helpless.

Seeing the two of them standing foolishly at the tent entrance, Ye Liuli quietly cut a hole in the side of the tent and ran out.

Ye Liuli arrived at a farmhouse courtyard. There were three pharmacists, two of whom were busy, while one was watching from the side.

Upon seeing Ye Liuli arrive, the three of them all came forward to pay their respects.

"Your subject pays respects to the princess," the three apothecaries said, rising to their feet.

"No need for formalities, how is the situation now?" Ye Liuli knew that to see a doctor, one should first understand the situation.

Fang Qi stepped forward: "Princess, the current situation is..."

Xuanyuan Lang and General Sun offered their advice intermittently outside the tent:

"Princess, please heed this old minister's advice," General Sun said to the tent.

“Princess, if you don’t go back, the Night Emperor will find out sooner or later, and he will send someone to take you back.” Helpless, Xuan Yuanlang had no choice but to bring up Ye Li.

“Even if the Night Emperor doesn’t come looking for you, the Night Emperor will send someone.” Xuan Yuanlang said again when he heard no response.

No matter what the two said, there was not a sound from inside.

"Princess?" General Sun called out to Ye Liuli again.

There was no response from inside. Xuan Yuanlang sensed something was wrong and called out, "Princess, please forgive me," before rushing inside.

The truth is that the void is completely empty!

The perfectly good tent had been ripped open with a large hole. Xuan Yuanlang turned and left in a huff, heading towards the patient's residence.

Upon arriving at the residence, they indeed saw Ye Liuli bending down to comfort each patient.

Xuan Yuanlang strode to Ye Liuli's side, disregarding the proper order of seniority, grabbed Ye Liuli's wrist, and angrily growled, "Princess!"
