on Feng Yixuan's whereabouts. She took Xiao Li to Luofei's residence to look for Luoli.When she was told about the news of returning to the Yao Clan, Luo Li was still very surprised. After hearing her...Hearing their accusations, Feng Aotian hurriedly shielded Feng Lingxi behind him and angrily rebuked the commoners, “Even if Hua Tuo were alive, with you all disobeying the doctor’s orders like this, it would be a miracle if he could cure you. Besides, what kind of plague won't kill people”

Feng Lingxi was shocked by Feng Aotian's actions. Since she arrived here, Feng Aotian had never protected her like this before. Now, he seemed to be treating her more and more like his daughter

She was sent by the imperial court.

"Even if the plague kills people, she has to cure it, doesn't she"

The common people had lost their previous arrogance, but their discontent continued to be expressed in low murmurs, full of dissatisfaction.

“Let the Gao family release their grain, and even after releasing it, they still don't treat people well, causing the young master of the Gao family to die. The Gao family wants to retrieve the grain, isn't this all due to her incompetence” Someone in the crowd spoke out, Feng Lingxi’s eyes searched for the person speaking in the crowd.

"Gao Yi himself is stingy and refuses to release grain, delaying Young Master Gao's treatment time. Now he blames my sister You ungrateful wretches! The government treats these patients without charging a penny and provides them with food. You gather here in droves. If someone here gets infected with the plague, none of you will escape. When the time comes, if you get sick, I won't allow my sister to treat any of you."

As soon as Lu Nian spoke, the boisterous crowd immediately took a step back, looking at those around them as if they were infected with a plague. Their bodies' honest fear of the disease made Lu Nian roll her eyes.

“You have all seen the contagiousness and danger of the plague. It does indeed kill people, and I understand your fear. But by barricading yourselves here, even if you killed me, it would be useless. In the current situation, even if the court sent someone to treat the sick, by the time they arrived, there would likely be many more patients here, and the death toll would undoubtedly increase.”

Wind Ling's eyes swept across the assembled people. "I know you're afraid, but fear won't solve anything right now. What you need to do is cooperate with me. At least I'm constantly working on researching a cure for the plague. As long as I don't give up, there's still a chance, and this chance, whether or not you take it, is up to you."

"Well, now she's the only one who can save Timber Town. If you keep this up, a few will die tomorrow, a few more the day after. At this rate, Timber Town will be overrun with plague very soon."

Lu Nian added, looking at the panic in the eyes of the people, it seemed that these commoners were all afraid of death.

To be able to cause such a ruckus here, they must have spent quite a bit of money bribing the officials to let them make a fuss.

"Your Highness, can you really cure this plague"

A young man stood before the people, his eyes struggling. "Last time you saved the people of our Tulumu Town, we saw your medical skills with our own eyes. But this time, we truly can't believe that you can really cure this plague."

As soon as the words left her mouth, hurried footsteps echoed through the air. A large group of people, numbering in the thousands, surrounded the yamen. Wind Lingxi looked at Lord Liu and Feng Aotian in confusion. Seeing their expressions mirroring her own surprise, she frowned and stepped forward. That’s when she saw Dugu City riding towards them on horseback with Ye Xi.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Chen."

When Lord Liu saw that it was Dugu Cheng, he hurried forward and bowed to him, "The lower official, Liu Cheng, greets His Royal Highness, King Chen."

Dugu Cheng dismounted and glanced at the crowd. His eyes swept coldly over them before he walked toward Feng Lingxi.

"Hearing that something happened here, this king came to see for himself. Are you alright"

"How did you get here Didn't I tell you to stay in Linxi County"

Feng Lingxi was stunned for a moment, she hadn't expected Dugu Cheng to come at all. She had no idea he would show up.

"If I hadn't come, wouldn't they have bullied my woman"

獨孤城 turned and looked at the rioting people in front of him. His cold eyes swept over them, his voice icy as he asked, "Do you all think that the death caused by this plague is the fault of the princess consort"

The common folk were questioned in stunned silence. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't dare speak out, not even with the Crown Prince present.

"Let me tell you all this plainly, if it weren't for the fact that the Crown Princess of Chen was willing to come here and treat your plague, I would absolutely not have allowed her to. You all know how dangerous this plague is, how many lives it claims. The Princess has come for your sake, yet instead of gratitude, cooperation, you slander her! Do you think you are treating her fairly"

獨孤城's stern questioning silenced the crowd. One by one, they lowered their heads and said nothing.

"I'm not here today to punish you, but to take my wife away. Since your town of Tumu doesn't need her medical treatment and doesn't believe in her skills, then wait for the court to send someone else to treat you. My wife will be taken back first."

Dugu Cheng finished speaking, then turned to Feng Lingxi, "Go back with this King."

"Stop being childish! How can I leave now If I go, the plague here will get worse."

Feng Lingxi tugged on Dugucheng's sleeve. She knew he was speaking up for her, but she really couldn't leave. She didn't need to be understood; what mattered most was curing this plague. If it spread from here, the surrounding counties would collapse, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's worried eyes, pointing to the people in front of him. "Is it worth staying for them"

"Do you really want me to follow you"

Feng Lingxi stared at Dugucheng's face, knowing he was angry.

"I'm here to heal, under orders. I can't just leave."

"They don't want you to stay here and heal, you come to be scolded"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's palm-sized face, "You've only been here for a few days, and you've lost a lot of weight. This way, they haven't cured you yet, you're exhausted, and they don't understand you. There is no need for this at all."

"I will find a cure. You try to persuade these people, make them believe in me."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes were full of pleading, "You believe, I can definitely cure this plague."

Duke Gucheng never intended for Feng Lingxi to go back. He just wanted to tell these ungrateful people in front of everyone what his wife had done for them. How fierce and terrifying the plague was, Xi'er risked her own life for them, yet they treated her this way. How could he not be angry

"Your Highness, we were wrong."

The young man at the front stepped forward and apologized, looking at Dugu City. “Your Highness, it was the plague that frightened us, causing us to speak recklessly and hurt Your Highness’s wife. We beg your forgiveness. Could you allow Your Highness’s wife to treat us The people of Tumuzhen cannot live without Your Highness’s wife.”

The man speaking suddenly knelt down, looking at Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness the Crown Princess of Chen, please stay and save Tu Mu Town."up and coaxed softly, "Wan'er be good, don't cry."But Wan'er cried even louder, her voice attracting all the court ladies in Yugarden. They came over curiously and watched Wan'er cry so intently, whis...
