The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Yes, I am a doctor." Fu Yunxi answered affirmatively.

The old lady agreed and stretched out her hand for Fu Yunxi to take her pulse.

"What symptoms did my granddaughter have before she fell into a coma?"

Fu Yunxi then took the little girl's pulse and had a rough idea in his mind.

"She started coughing and vomiting, and then had a persistent high fever. I thought she just had a cold, but the doctor at the city gate said it might be an epidemic, which is highly contagious. I panicked because this epidemic is a terminal illness!"

"The child has a miserable life. His parents died young, so he can only live with an old woman like me. He has been very sensible since he was young, and he always rushes to do any work. I didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on him."

The old lady sighed as she spoke. Perhaps she had been suppressing her feelings for too long, or perhaps she felt that Fu Yunxi was kind, so she couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Don't worry! The little girl will be fine. She won't wither at this blooming age. You and her can drink this bowl of water."

Fu Yunxi comforted the old lady and poured a bowl of spiritual spring water from the water bag for them.

Although this saliva cannot directly cure the disease, it can relieve the symptoms and support you until it is time to take medicine!

"Thank you, young lady! I didn't expect you to be a doctor at such a young age. I think you are about the same age as my granddaughter. That man is your husband, right? He has been staring at you."

The old lady knew that this bowl of water was not ordinary, and they were not ordinary either.

"He is indeed my husband. Just remember to drink water and get your meals every day. Everything will be fine."

Fu Yunxi looked at a few more refugees, made up her mind, and went back with Mu Yibai.

"Xier, are you done seeing the doctor?"

While Fu Yunxi was receiving treatment, Mu Yibai had been waiting by her side. There were so many people here and he couldn't let her get hurt.

"Well! Let's go back."

Fu Yunxi felt very happy. Just now, the old lady said that Mu Yibai's eyes were always on her. She could clearly feel that their hearts were slowly getting closer.

When Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi returned to the inn, it was already dawn and everyone was out of bed.

"We will leave after lunch today. You can move freely in the morning, but you must wear a mask and stay away from people with the epidemic."

Zheng Chengyuan gave everyone half a day to purchase. Baisha County is the largest county nearby. Although food is limited and most of it is coarse grains, it is better than nothing. It is perfect to replenish supplies here.

"My dear, this is a prescription for curing the plague. Find a chance to give it to the doctor at the city gate.

The magistrate of Guandu County was willing to accept Mu Da's relief grain to give to the refugees, so he must be a kind person.

If this prescription can get into their hands, it should work.”

Fu Yunxi wrote a prescription and gave it to Mu Yibai. When she examined the patients in the morning, she found that everyone was infected with plague bacteria, a type of Yersinia pestis.

This disease has been conquered in later generations, but current medical standards are limited, and the mortality rate is almost 100% whenever there is plague.

During this time, while studying medical books in the space, she found a prescription that could cure the plague.

She wrote the prescription in regular script and also included details such as how to prevent the spread of the disease and how to deal with the dead, hoping that the magistrate and doctors of Guandu County could save the people.

"Why does Xi Ji do good deeds but doesn't want to leave her name?" Mu Yibai didn't expect that she would give the prescription so selflessly. You know, this prescription for treating plague has never been published, and the first person who comes up with the prescription will definitely go down in history.

"What's the harm in leaving a name? This prescription is not something I have studied, I just saw it in an ancient book. If it can save the people now, it would be great."

Fu Yunxi never thought of becoming famous through this. She had no good feelings towards the current court, and she was disdainful of using a prescription to seek credit. She only hoped to manage her own small family after arriving in the northern border.

"Xier is an excellent doctor and a generous person. I should learn from Xier." Mu Yibai teased Fu Yunxi with a smile.

Now their interactions are becoming more and more natural. They call each other husband and wife every day, just like a loving couple who have been in love for many years.

But Mu Yibai thought that Fu Yunxi was being modest. If this prescription could be easily found in ancient books, how could the plague become a dreaded terminal illness!

In the end, Fu Yunxi was not disappointed. After receiving the prescription, the doctor guarding the city was very excited and hurried to see the county magistrate.

"Mr. County Magistrate, look, this is an anonymous letter I received this morning. It contains a prescription for curing the epidemic and related treatment methods. I looked at the prescription and found that the combination is exquisite. There should be no mistake."

The doctor's hands were shaking with excitement. This was a prescription that could cure the plague, the first of its kind in thousands of years. If it were made public, it would surely shock the entire medical community!

"Are you telling the truth? Someone actually sent an anonymous letter? Do we have the herbs in this prescription?"

The county magistrate was also overjoyed. The people were already having a hard time surviving in this famine year, and the plague was even more of a disaster. If not handled properly, the city might fall at any moment.

Now that we have a treatment, the people can be saved.

"Yes, it's available in every pharmacy. This recipe may seem ordinary, but it actually has a sophisticated pharmacology and is not expensive."

The doctor was immersed in it, eager to see the miracle doctor!

Without further ado, we quickly asked someone to go to the pharmacy to boil the medicine and distribute it together with the sweet potato porridge at noon.

This matter is of vital importance. If the prescription is effective, it will save countless small families and the great State of Zhao.

"Second sister-in-law, has the plague really broken out?"

While the eldest son was having breakfast in the inn, Liu Yue thought about the illness of the refugees outside the city last night.

"Yes, it's an epidemic caused by plague bacteria. There are many tiny organisms on mice that are pathogenic to humans. After a person is infected, they will go through an incubation period, and then a large-scale outbreak will occur. Moreover, this pathogen is spread through saliva, so it is difficult to avoid. I taught you the treatment prescription a few days ago. It is the right medicine for the symptoms."

When Fu Yunxi was taking shelter in the temple, she explained the plague to Liu Yue in detail, so she knew how to treat it.

"Has the county magistrate found a prescription?"

"I think we have it. The city doctor was in the pharmacy on the street just now. He should be preparing the herbs."

"That's great! It's a great achievement to be able to conquer the plague."

"Well! The magistrate of Guandu County is a good official. Although there is a fee to enter the city, he did not abandon the people."

Luo had heard her husband talk a lot about officialdom. In addition, the Mu family had commanded troops for generations and had seen all kinds of officialdom. There were too few good officials these days.

"Yes, the county magistrate may have been restrained by Mr. Hong in the past, but he should be able to make great achievements in the future."

Mu Yibai's words puzzled everyone as to why Mr. Hong could no longer dominate the world.

"Brother Bai means that Mr. Hong has been punished?"

"Mrs. Jiang thought for a moment and felt that Mr. and Mrs. Mu Yibai must have punished Mr. Hong.

"Anyway, he has no capital to do evil anymore, and the people and merchants in Guandu County can live a stable life."

When everyone heard what Fu Yunxi said, they all understood that this was a good thing and that the bad guys would eventually be punished.

"Good! Great!"
