The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 142 The Plague Spreads

"Roommate?" He Jingheng was confused: "What does roommate mean?"

"We just live under the same roof. We are not blood relatives, nor are we friends. We are better than strangers, that's all."

He Jingheng heard her say this and said with a smile: "I never knew a woman looked like this when she was angry."

Shang Ruoyi glanced at him: "Then you know now."

"I have already arranged for Yun Ting to go to the Western Regions. Can you please not be angry, Madam?"

It was the first time that Yuntian saw their young master being so humble. He blinked and said to Yunqi beside him, "Um, am I dazzled?"

Yunqi was also a little bit unbelievable. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince would actually sacrifice his status just to please the Crown Princess. If this scene was seen by others, they would definitely say that their Crown Prince was someone else pretending to be him.

After all, they have been with the prince for so many years, and what they have seen most is his cold face. When have they ever seen him like this?

Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and said compassionately, "The secret guards belong to the prince himself. As a concubine of the Shang family, I have no right to manage them."

He Jingheng smiled bitterly. If he had known, he would not have teased her. He originally wanted to see her jealous, but he didn't expect that she was hardly jealous. Coaxing her made her exhausted.

Just then, a gray carrier pigeon landed on the window. He Jinghen took it in his hand and took the note from the pigeon's feet.

Seeing the contents of the note, I couldn't help but frown.

Shang Ruoyi saw it all and wanted to ask him what happened, but when she thought of what Yun Ting said, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"If you have something to do, I'll go back first."

She turned around and tried to leave, but He Jingheng grabbed her wrist and said, "It seems you can't leave yet."

"Ok?"

Under the shocked gazes of Yunqi and others, He Jingheng handed the note to her: "Take a look."

Shang Ruoyi did not take the note.

If they took it, from now on they would be in the same boat. She didn't know what He Jingheng was going to do, but in the eyes of the court, it would definitely be a bad thing of rebellion.

If she accepted it, from now on, everything he did would be traced back to her, which would go against her principle of making enough money and then being able to rest easy.

But then again, even if she didn't get involved, if He Jingheng got into trouble in the future, she would still be punished as well. In that case, why not find a way out for herself?

Thinking of this, she took the note.

"That divine doctor Jiang, who is praised by people as the best in the world, is also helpless against this epidemic?" Shang Ruoyi said in surprise, "It's just a small plague, how can it not be cured?"

A little plague?

Yunqi and Yuntian couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

That's a plague!

In every country and dynasty, when talking about plague, who wouldn’t tremble in fear?

How come it became a small plague in the mouth of the Crown Princess?

Hearing her say this, He Jingheng's eyes lit up: "So, you know the method of treatment?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "The pills I gave you before have an inhibitory effect on the plague. If you want to treat it." She rummaged through the medicine box for a while and took out a white porcelain bottle: "This is the pill that can cure the plague, but it can't be said to be completely cured. This disease still requires me to go deep into Liangzhou City to treat it."

He Jingheng nodded and was about to speak when he heard footsteps outside.

The man whispered a few words into Yunqi's ear, and Yunqi's face suddenly changed.

"My Lord, something bad has happened."

"what happened?"

"For some reason, someone in the county has been infected with the plague. Now, the entire county is in a panic, and every household is staying indoors."

He Jingheng frowned when he heard this.

The plague is not like other diseases. You can avoid being infected by staying at home.

“Are there many people who have the plague?”

"It looks like there are dozens of them at this point."

Dozens of people, quite a lot.

It doesn't seem like a coincidence that so many people were infected with the plague at the same time.

"Have you found out where these people have been?"

"We found out that those people had been to Liangzhou City."

At this moment, Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I wonder what benefits the emperor has promised to Dr. Jiang?"

"What do you want to do?"

Shang Ruoyi held the pills and said, "If I can cure the plague that Doctor Jiang couldn't treat, what will the emperor do for me?"

He Jingheng saw a cunning look in her eyes and knew what she was thinking.

Slowly she said, "If you want something, just go find your husband. Don't covet other men's things."

Shang Ruoyi was speechless when she heard this. At such a critical moment, this person actually still had the mind to make a joke.

"It's always more fun to make money from others than from yourself, isn't it?" Shang Ruoyi took out a few porcelain bottles and handed them to Yunqi: "Give them these to drink and see how effective they are."

"Yes."

Two days later, Yunqi came to He Jingheng with a look of surprise.

"My Lord, great joy!"

"what happened?"

"The Crown Princess's pills are indeed effective. The conditions of those people have improved significantly. The one with the mildest symptoms is almost fully recovered."

what?

He Jingheng put the book on the table: "So soon?"

"Exactly."

At this moment, Shang Ruoyi walked in, heard the conversation between the master and servant, smiled and said, "I said that the effect of my pill is very good!"

Undiluted spiritual spring water is added here.

"How much silver do you plan to sell this pill for?"

Shang Ruoyi blinked: "That depends on who you sell it to." She put down the teacup in her hand: "If it's an ordinary citizen, I won't charge a penny. If it's the imperial court, I'll ask for the cost price, five taels of silver per cup."

Five taels of silver!

Back to cost price!

Yunqi almost bit his tongue.

The Crown Prince’s Consort is truly worthy of being the shopkeeper of Fu Sheng Ru Meng.

He Jingheng's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "If that's the case, then let the court bleed!"

Yunqi couldn't help but shudder when he saw the smile on his own prince's face.

It’s true that family members don’t live together.

If the Crown Prince becomes sinister, he might be as evil as the Crown Princess.

On the second day, word spread in the town that those who had previously contracted the plague were beginning to get better.

"Getting better? Impossible! That's a plague, not a cold. How could it get better in such a short time?"

"That's right! What has become of Liangzhou City? I heard that there aren't many people left alive."

"What do you know? It was Master Lingjun who saved us!"

"Master Lingjun? Who is that?"

"Even Master Lingjun doesn't know!" The man sneered, "He is a genius doctor who is much more powerful than Divine Doctor Jiang!"
