Chapter 1319: Chapter 1318: Why Am I Feeling a Bit Excited?

Fen Ling’s footsteps indeed came to a halt.

Taking care of patients...

Those patients, some had swollen, festering skin, others were coughing incessantly, even coughing up blood, and some were vomiting...

No! Asking her to care for those patients—she’d rather die!

"Yexuan..."

"You should go back and rest. These next couple of days, there’s no need to come see me."

Feng Yexuan’s words didn’t carry much other meaning; after all, he would be looking after patients, inevitably carrying traces of their illness on his body.

If she came to see him, there was a chance she could get infected.

"Prince, we’ll go help, too!" As long as they could shake off Fen Ling, Jingri and Wangyue were elated.

Rather than dealing with Fen Ling—a woman so hypocritical it made them sick—they’d truly prefer catching the illness instead.

The three of them left, their very backs radiating an unspeakable sense of relief.

Fen Ling watched their departing figures, clenching her palms in fury.

Chu Qianli—she didn’t know what kind of witchcraft Chu Qianli had fed those two scoundrels. Yesterday, they clearly still had reservations about her. But now, they were wholly devoted to her!

Could it be that wretch had secretly given herself to those two scoundrels?

She hadn’t lost public favor; she simply wasn’t as filthy as Chu Qianli—so unscrupulous, willing to defile herself!

What should she do? By the looks of things, even Yexuan seemed to be influenced, his heart slowly leaning toward that wretch!

...

At this moment, aside from Fen Ling, no one seemed to care whose heart Yexuan belonged to.

Chu Qianli didn’t care—she had neither the time nor the energy to care.

Even Feng Yexuan himself didn’t care; matters of love and longing seemed utterly trivial in this instant.

Lives were at stake!

Today, more villagers had been infected!

"Princess, if the new medicine doesn’t appear soon, I fear many villagers... many might not make it."

The last medicine—the villagers had such a strong reaction to it that most simply vomited it out.

The Princess had mentioned a new drug, but it had yet to arrive, and now everyone was completely out of options.

"I can’t guarantee when the new drug will arrive."

She had no visibility over her eldest senior brother’s circumstances; as long as the new drug remained undelivered, everything was up in the air.

It was possible her eldest senior brother wouldn’t be able to reach her for quite some time.

This system—she still couldn’t fully control it.

"For now, we can only opt for conservative treatment and use the medicine we have."

Luckily, Chu Qianli had anticipated this scenario earlier, planning for contingencies and having the Imperial Court send over additional medicinal supplies.

"I’ll go treat the critical patients with acupuncture in a bit. You need to oversee the team continuing to brew medicine for the villagers to drink. Although this isn’t a specific cure, it’s still effective."

"Ask everyone to hold on, just a bit longer."

"Also, regarding the meals, make sure they’re prepared exactly as I instructed. No mistakes can be made."

"Understood." Xi Jiu accepted the orders and immediately began organizing the work.

Chu Qianli grabbed her medical kit and, along with the other doctors who had rushed here from the Imperial City, headed to treat the patients.

Unexpectedly, before she even reached the quarantined patient area, a group of children blocked her path.

"Villain! Your medicine will kill people! You’re all villains!"

One particularly unruly child picked up a stone and hurled it with all his strength toward Chu Qianli’s face.

"Villain! Beat the villain to death!"

"Princess, watch out!" Several other doctors cried out in alarm at the same time.

Suddenly, a tall, graceful figure appeared in front of Chu Qianli before she could react.

With a thud, the stone struck the figure’s body and bounced back.

He turned around, gazing at the children who had thrown the stone, his face devoid of expression, and said, "She says it can cure, so it most certainly can. As long as we’re of one mind, this disaster will be overcome soon enough."
