“Yes, I’ll make arrangements now,” he replied.
Does the princess consort not want Yan Nuo to accompany her because he said something that angered her?
No, no, that’s not right. General must be sending Yan Nuo to do something even more important!
As expected, Qian Jiyun focused his attention on Yan Nuo after giving him instructions.
“Bring your men to investigate this matter personally. You have to find out the truth. If they really have the guts to do such a thing, I’ll make sure they die without a burial ground!”
“Yes, General.” Yan Nuo accepted the order and turned around to leave immediately.
The deputy generals watched Yan Nuo leave, confused about what happened.
“What’s going…”
However, they could not help but think that it must be serious. Otherwise, the general would not look so unhappy, and even they would not have kept quiet.
“Then… I’ll go prepare too, General.”
Deputy General Sun cupped his fists at Qian Jiyun, took a deep breath, and left.
Protecting Princess Consort Zhanyun was also very important, especially since they were going out to pick medicinal herbs. Many lives in the military camp were at stake.
“General, what about Xue Ling?” the other deputy generals asked, wondering if they would not be punishing her anymore.
“We’ll let her experience the horror of the epidemic first,” Qian Jiyun instructed.
He decided to let Xue Ling suffer first since An Jiuyue told him it was not the right time to kill her. If he uncovered the truth… he would definitely bury the Xue family with Xue Ling!
…
At the Luoyan Mountain, within the 11th stockaded village of the 18 stockaded villages…
“Zhuxin, how are they? Can you come up with a prescription?”
A few middle-aged men surrounded the young lady as she walked out of one of the rooms.
The young lady looked up at them and shook her head helplessly.
“Uncle Qi Gu, I can’t cure this disease yet. I’m afraid…”
The young lady’s name was Shen Zhuxin. She was the most capable pharmacist in the 18 stockaded villages.
Pharmacists were different from ordinary physicians. Not only could they treat illnesses and save people, but they could also study poison to murder.
Qi Gu became even more anxious when he heard her response.
“Even you can’t do anything?”
There were even more people who had contracted the disease. If these people could not be cured, then…
Shen Zhuxin thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, “I know of a herb called Moon Whisper Grass. It can treat the disease, but I’m afraid it can only keep them alive temporarily if we use that on its own.”
“That’s good enough.” Qi Gu also gritted his teeth and nodded.
It was much better than remaining idle. The 18 stockaded villages could be wiped out by the epidemic disease if it continued to spread.
“Where can I buy the Moon Whisper Grass? I’ll send someone to buy it immediately,” he asked.
“No.” Shen Zhuxin shook her head. “Not many pharmacies have Moon Whisper Grass, but I recognize this herb. I need to go to the mountains to pick it.”
“You’re going to the mountains to pick it? We’ll go with you,” the young men beside Qi Gu spoke in unison.
They felt terrible watching their companions collapse one by one. Since they could finally make themselves useful, they had to gather more Moon Whisper Grass.
