Before Shen Yang could react, Qi Yan touched his stomach very naturally, and said something on his own.

"Looks like I'm full."

As he spoke, he filled another bowl of soup for Shen Yang and placed it in front of him. Shen Yang took a sip of the soup, and asked while holding the bowl:

"When did the prince come here?"

Qi Yan pointed to the half-empty dishes on the side, indicating that it has been a long time.

Shen Yang was ashamed that he was being fed while he was doing well:

"I can eat it myself, the prince doesn't need to feed me."

But Qi Yan blocked his words back, "The servant came and called three times, but there was no answer."

Shen Yang didn't make another sound, and asked Qi Yan after drinking the soup.

"Has the prince eaten?"

Seeing the other party shaking his head, Shen Yang showed a relieved expression, and said:

"Didn't the prince also eat? I'm just late."

Qi Yan propped his cheek with one hand, and watched Shen Yang find the words to refute the look of chuckle, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

"The king waits for the princess to have lunch together, and the food has been reheated three times."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yang finally admitted his fault for not having a good meal.

In fact, Shen Yang was just out of habit, before every exam week, he would often stay in the library, would bring a few steamed buns and a bottle of water, and eat when he was hungry and drink when he was thirsty.

This caused Shen Yang to appear in such a state of forgetting to sleep and eat when the exam week came. He usually had three meals and a regular schedule, but now the situation was tight, which caused Shen Yang to enter the state of the exam week.

In order to 'punish' Shen Yang for not eating well, he had to watch Qi Yan slowly finish the leftover food which was already cold.

The royal family's dining etiquette is very elegant, but Shen Yang unconsciously shifted his eyes to the page under his hands after watching for a while, and when he realized it, he immediately sat upright and continued to watch Qi Yan eat.

After a stick of incense, Qi Yan slowly wiped the oil stains on his fingertips with a handkerchief.

It was finally over, Shen Yang let out a breath.

But Qi Yan came here not just to let Shen Yang eat.

Qi Yan put down the veil and asked: "There are epidemic patients in Wencheng now, and the situation in southern Anhui must be very bad. Is there anything you can do?"

There are ways, but the best way is to seal off the city and close the gates on both sides of the north and south, but this may cause panic. Shen Yang is just a doctor and knows nothing about this. He can only offer opinions, and how to implement it depends on Qi Yan.

After briefly understanding some possible measures, Qi Yan said with a solemn face that he knew.

"The things you painted, I will mobilize the nearby counties to drive them out."

Shen Yang nodded, "It's still unclear how the disease spread, and the imperial doctors who go to diagnose and treat patients with the disease must take good precautions."

Once cross-infection is formed, it will be even more troublesome.

In fact, what Shen Yang was most afraid of was that this unknown disease would spread through breathing. Under the constraints of the times, complete protection could not be achieved, and it was likely to cause huge casualties.

However, according to the news brought by the imperial doctor after he came back from the government, Shen Yang guessed that the transmission was most likely through bodily fluids.

If this is the case, the arrival of summer and floods and the south, mosquito bites and rat rampage will cause the epidemic to intensify again.

Thinking about it this way, the protective equipment painted by Shen Yang is in great demand. When he was still in the capital, Shen Yang had already pre-ordered a batch. He got the news the day before yesterday that Yifeng led people to escort them here, and did not attract the attention of others along the way. .

Wencheng can still rely on the batch of protective equipment to keep an eye on it. The further down the road, the more serious the situation will be, and what is needed is far from enough.

At the same time, the thirteenth prince led people to run around the streets and alleys of Wencheng to customize the things on the blueprint.

The afternoon sun was scorching and made people dizzy, Qi Xiang went into a tea house to rest for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of arguing from below.

Open the window of the room where he is, and you can see the small alley below. The alley is very deserted. I saw a dirty and thin little girl being pushed to the ground by several children. One of the pushing boys pointed at the little girl on the ground. The girl scolded:

"My mother said, your father was arrested by the government because of the epidemic, and you must have it too, God of Plague! We don't welcome you, get out of Wencheng!"

The other children echoed: "That's right, that's right, don't infect us."

The little girl had a pair of clean peach blossom eyes, which were full of water at the moment, and she cried and refuted.

"I didn't! I'm not the God of Plague!"

The other children didn't listen at all, and pointed at the little girl's nose and called her the plague god. The little girl wiped away the tear stains on her face with her dirty hands, and still gritted her teeth to refute that she was not.

She tried to stand up, but was pushed down again by those children, and her head hit the mottled earth wall, and the dazzling bright red stained the earth wall. The children were frightened by the blood and scattered like birds and beasts.

The little girl staggered and stood up while leaning on the earthen wall, raised her hand to wipe the blood on her face, her head was dazed, and she staggered forward.

At this moment, the people under Qi Xiang came down, and the little girl felt someone approaching, and said in a small voice:

"I am not infected with the plague, I am not the god of plague..."

After finishing speaking, the little girl passed out on the ground, vaguely feeling that someone hugged her, and a voice yelled at herself.

"Quickly, send the person to Aunt Huang."

After that, she felt the bumps below her body, until she leaned against the stable bed, the little girl's remaining consciousness made her hear a gentle and peaceful voice.

"Where did this kid come from?"

The person who had yelled at him just now became very polite, and he replied: "On the road, I met a few children who bullied her and pushed her against the wall, and her head was bleeding."

A hand touched her forehead, as soft as a cloud, as if afraid of hurting her.

Ever since her father was taken away by the government, the little girl has never felt such tenderness again.

Shen Yang inspected the wound on the girl's forehead, and suddenly found tears streaming from the corner of her eyes, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Qi Xiang at the side spoke again.

"Aunt Huang, be careful. I heard from those children that her father was caught by the government and was taken away by the government."

—No, no, I am not infected with the disease.

The little girl was afraid that this gentle hand would leave, and she struggled to wake up consciously.

Hearing what Qi Xiang said, Shen Yang turned his head to check if the little girl had symptoms of the disease, but found that she was frowning tightly and her tears flowed more fiercely, as if she was refuting Qi Xiang's words.

At this time, Ru Xian brought hot water, soaked the towel in the hot water and wrung it dry, then handed it to Shen Yang.

Wiping off the dirt on the little girl's face with a towel, revealing the delicate and fair skin, Shen Yang said softly to the little girl:

"Don't be afraid, it's fine."

The soft voice seemed to be heard by the little girl, the tears slowly stopped, and the frowning brows gradually relaxed.

Qi Xiang watched strangely from the side, rubbed his nose when he heard the noise coming from the door, his spine felt a chill immediately, he reflexively walked to Shen Yang's side, met his puzzled eyes, and responded with a smiling face.

The next moment, the sound of the wheelchair turning became clearer and clearer. Shen Yang saw Qi Yan being pushed in by his servants, and understood that something was wrong with Qi Xiang, and looked at him dumbfounded.

Then he handed the towel to Ruxian, and got up to greet the visitor.
