Sweet-scented osmanthus... sweet-scented osmanthus... That's it! It's the sweet-scented osmanthus! How could she have forgotten the cassia twig!
At this thought, Mu Fengqie's short-circuited brain seemed to be electrified. All the difficulties were easily resolved. Mixing cassia twig with Chinese goldthread, kudzuvine root, wormwood, wrinkled giant hyssop and other medicinal herbs could treat malaria, and it could also cure the plague.
Mu Fengqie suddenly burst into laughter. Then, excitedly, she hugged Jing Xunce and quickly planted a kiss on his face. Happily, she said, "Thank you. I know what medicine to use!"
Before Jing Xunce could recover from the pleasant surprise and shock, Mu Fengqie had already let go of him. And this scene happened to fall into Lou Yueying's eyes.
She couldn't believe her eyes, let alone what was happening before her. How could this crazy woman kiss Brother Jing right in front of her?
"Brother Jing, what are you two doing?" Lou Yueying asked, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
Jing Xunce raised his eyes and glanced at Lou Yueying, showing a bit of impatience. "Leave as soon as your body recovers."
Hearing this, Lou Yueying was stunned. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears. What did she just hear? Was Brother Jing driving her away?
"Brother Jing, I know the court wronged you, but have you really disregarded our affection? Do you know why I was poisoned? I went to the border to find you for two months. During that time, I was ambushed by the border people many times. I almost became a captive several times. All of this was for you!"
As Lou Yueying spoke, sad tears welled up in her eyes. And Mu Fengqie caught the key point in her words. As she had expected, Jing Xunce was really related to the court. No wonder he had such high martial arts skills and never showed his true face in front of many people.
Lou Yueying's words shocked Jing Xunce. He never knew that Lou Yueying had done so much for him, nor did he know that she was poisoned because of him. Now, the harsh words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back forcefully.
"I'm asking you to leave for your own good. Anyone who gets involved with me will not end well. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about General Lou."
Jing Xunce said coldly. If he didn't say these hurtful words, Lou Yueying might never be heartbroken.
Lou Yueying shook her head. "No matter how dangerous it is around you, I will follow you. Who is she..."
Mu Fengqie had been watching them with an expression of watching a show, trying to catch some useful information from their conversation. But unexpectedly, the topic turned to her.
"She is my wife." Jing Xunce slightly parted his thin lips and said softly.
With a bang, Lou Yueying felt her mind go blank. She couldn't accept such a result. How could Jing Xunce get married in such a short time?
"Brother Jing, you're lying to me, right? How could you be married? We grew up together. You can't have no feelings for me!"
Lou Yueying cried, deceiving herself.
Hearing this, Jing Xunce frowned tightly. "I can pretend I didn't hear anything. I've always regarded you as my younger sister, not as a lover."
Hearing this, Lou Yueying's face turned pale. She bit her lips tightly and finally fainted under the blow.
Mu Fengqie sighed secretly. Sure enough, a woman's sixth sense was always the most accurate. Lou Yueying's feelings for Jing Xunce were really extraordinary.
Jing Xunce sent her back to the side room, and then the two of them went back to rest.
Before the sun rose in the morning, Mu Fengqie got up to prepare the medicinal herbs. She had already thought of the prescription for treating the plague. What she had to do next was to spread this prescription so that the people in every place could be treated.
Yuan Yuchuan also came to the medical clinic from the inn as soon as it was dawn. He knocked on the closed door of the medical clinic. When Xiao Qing opened the door, she saw a somewhat familiar face.
"Sir, please come in."
Mu Fengqie put down what she was doing. But then she saw a face she really didn't want to see. She silently rolled her eyes. "Why are you here again?"
"I'm here today to ask for help. The plague has been spreading recently. Does the girl have any good ideas?" Yuan Yuchuan asked tentatively.
He kept an eye on Mu Fengqie's expression, afraid of missing any useful information. He was just taking a chance. If he really found a way to cure the plague, it would be a smooth path to success for him in the future.
Mu Fengqie gave him a suspicious look, squinting her eyes and sizing Yuan Yuchuan up and down. This man looked like the young master of a wealthy family, but she couldn't figure out why he wanted her prescription.
For some reason, Mu Fengqie didn't have a good impression of him. She just couldn't associate him with a good person.
"The imperial doctors in the palace are researching the prescription for treating the plague. I'm just a small doctor. How could I have any good ideas?"
Mu Fengqie was curious and wanted to test Yuan Yuchuan. If his identity could really spread this prescription, she might as well give it to him.
But if he wasn't a good person, then he must have an ulterior motive for asking for the prescription. She mustn't trust others easily.
Yuan Yuchuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "The girl is a well - known divine doctor. Moreover, it was the girl who cured my hidden illness. The girl's medical skills are unmatched by others."
"Sir, you're overthinking. But could the sir be frank with me and tell me why you want the prescription for the plague? If I really have the prescription, what reason could the sir give me to convince me?"
Mu Fengqie's eyes narrowed into a slit. Her clear eyes emitted a burning light, and her mind was also working rapidly.
Yuan Yuchuan fell into deep thought. He couldn't easily tell anyone his identity as the crown prince. Before Mu Fengqie joined his team, he definitely couldn't tell her his identity.
Noticing his hesitation, Mu Fengqie already had the answer in her heart. "Sir, you don't have to answer. Actually, I have no way either. Sir, you might as well go and find other doctors. If the sir has nothing else to do, I'm going to receive patients here."
Having said that, she mercilessly drove the man out. She wasn't at ease giving the prescription she had studied for so long to a person of unknown origin. It would be better to give it to the government.
However, just as Yuan Yuchuan had left the medical clinic, Yuan Yuhan stepped into it. Mu Fengqie could tell from Yuan Yuhan's dressing that he wasn't from the town.
"Is the sir here to seek medical treatment?" Mu Fengqie asked in a flat tone.
Yuan Yuhan smiled respectfully and humbly. "To be honest, I'm here to ask for the prescription for the plague."
Mu Fengqie's eyes were full of doubts. One had just left, and now another one had come. But how did these people know that she had the prescription?
