Feng Aotian endured his cough, looking at Feng Lingxi's anxious expression. "I'm fine, I just choked on some water."

"Give me your hand."

Feng Lingxi let out a breath, but she didn't dare to relax her vigilance. She still had to confirm it.

Feng Aotien was touched by Feng Lingxi's anxious and concerned care. Looking at Feng Lingxi's urging eyes, he stretched out his hand. After Feng Lingxi took his pulse, she confirmed that his pulse was normal, and she felt relieved.

"If you feel unwell, remember to come find me right away. Don't try to push through it, this isn't a joke."

Feng Lingxi instructed, but Feng Aotian was moved.

"Xier, are you concerned about me"

"I just don't want you to get infected, this plague isn't a joke. No matter what you did to me before, now we're all in the same boat. I don't want anyone to get hurt."

"I understand."

Feng Lingxi had just recorded the condition of the deceased before falling ill. When she was finished, Lu Nian had already returned to her side. Looking at the booklet Feng Lingxi had written down, she hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Little sister, this plague is so severe, are you really confident that you can cure it"

Before, his sister told him this plague was terrible, but at the time he listened without really taking the severity of the plague to heart. It wasn't until just now when he saw someone suddenly die before his eyes that he realized how serious the plague truly was.

"I've heard that, but I can't guarantee it."

Feng Lingxi gathered her belongings, looking at Lu Nian, "Give me your hand."

Lu Nian reached out her hand. After Feng Lingxi took her pulse, her eyes were full of concern. She had always cared for Lu Nian, but she didn't know how tired Lu Nian was. This silly sister, why didn't she know to find someone to replace her.

"Nothing serious for now, but you have to come and see me these days so I can check your condition. And you have to drink the medicine every day."

"Why"

"I'm not sick," said Lu Nian, puzzled.

"It's anti-toxin, just in case you come into contact with something unknown, it's safer this way."

Listen to your sister.

Lu Nian looked at Feng Ling Xi's tired eyes, "Time is almost up, let's go back to rest. You can't keep going like this, your body won't be able to take it."

"Almost done, just wait a moment."

Feng Lingxi went to check again, making sure everything was in order, before returning to the tent and falling asleep exhausted.

Lu Nian, after finishing his preparations, hurried to welcome Feng Lingxi back to the county government office. Upon entering, he saw Feng Lingxi lying asleep on the ground. He reached out and touched her forehead, finding that she wasn't feverish, so he quickly grabbed a thin blanket nearby and covered her with it.

"Your Highness, it's time to go home."

Liu's carriage was already prepared, and someone had come to call Feng Lingxi back to the county office to rest. Lu Nian hurriedly gestured for him not to speak, picked up Feng Lingxi from the waist, and got onto the carriage so that she could sleep for a while longer.

Feng Ling Xi woke up from her sleep the next morning, already disturbed by the noise of quarreling outside the door. Listening to the voices, it sounded a bit like Gao Yi's, crying and making a fuss, it seemed that he had come again because of his son.

After yesterday's patient passed away, Feng Lingxi felt a pang of sympathy. Fearing that the matter would escalate, she inquired and learned that Gao Yi's son had been suffering from a high fever that wouldn't break. Gao Yi came knocking again, weeping and wailing.

"Lord Liu, General of the Nation, please, save my son! He is truly at his end."

Feng Lingxi, upon arriving at the yamen, heard Gao Yi's pleading cries and felt a pang of sympathy.

"As long as you are willing to release the provisions, won't your son be saved"

As soon as Lord Liu finished speaking, Gao Yi became unhappy.

"Mr. Liu, you're an official! How can you take advantage of the situation to force me to release my grain You even save those lowly villagers, why can't you save my son Is his life worth less than those lowly villagers"

"As the old master said, your son's life is indeed not as valuable as those villagers you claim. After all, your son has a father like you. Even if he dies from illness, it's your fault, not the villagers'."

Wind Lingxi walked past, her eyes full of coldness. She really didn't know how Gao Yi could be so petty. Even at this time, he was unwilling to let go of his food. It wasn't asking him to donate it; it was just letting him sell it at the original price. He wouldn't even agree to that. After negotiating with him for so many days, the result was still like this. Now, he was saying such things. Wind Lingxi couldn't help but be angry.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort, you're being unreasonable! Why should I have to give up my rations The government provides free aid during disasters. How can you force an honest citizen like me with such methods…"

"Throw him out, we don't treat patients from the Gao family."

Feng Lingxi's face darkened, Gao Yi's face turned ashen with anger, pointing at Feng Lingxi.

"Since the Princess Consort is so ruthless, don't you fear I will report to the court and accuse the Princess Consort of forcing me to donate my grain Don't you fear the court will come after you"

"When you can live out of this town and speak to me about impeachment, and also, I only asked you to sell at the original price, I didn't ask you to donate for free. You can't even do that, why should I treat your son for free Don't say I didn't warn you, today one patient died, Mr. Gao, your time is running out, think it through carefully."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, Gao Yi was so frightened that he fell to the ground, pointing at Feng Lingxi, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Sister, his son is dead and it has nothing to do with you. It was all because he was stingy and got him killed. What does it have to do with you"

Lu Nian walked to Feng Ling Xi's side and glanced at Gao Yi with disdain, "This is the first time I've seen such a stingy merchant. It seems he hasn't done any kind deeds in his daily life."

"This was his own decision, no one could help him."

Feng Lingxi said coldly, "If my memory serves me right, Young Master Gao fell ill because he went to a brothel and messed around with the courtesans. This may not be the plague but something else."

Hearing this, Lu Nian awkwardly looked at her own younger sister. Couldn't she be a little more mindful when speaking, considering that she is a young lady

"Are you going to heal my son just because I provide for you"

Gao Yi looked at Feng Ling Xi, seeing that she remained silent. But Feng Ling Xi's unwavering gaze had already filled Gao Yi with despair.

He worked hard to get the food, he was going to sell it at a high price. Now, look, they're forcing him to release it. How could the Princess Consort be so ruthless After the plague ends, he must go to the capital to file a complaint against Princess Consort Chen for forcing him to release his grain.

"I offer grain, plead with Princess Chen to heal my son."

Gao Yi, at the thought of her son's current state, made a painful decision.

"Lord Liu, you take charge of this. Bring Young Master Gao to the slums and place him in a secluded location. Additionally, have Old Master Gao send provisions, as that's how Young Master Gao can be provided for."

Feng Lingxi's words made Gao Yi cry in anger, staring at Feng Lingxi with unwillingness.

Feng Lingxi wouldn't care about him. This Gao Yi was so petty! If she didn't do this, and if he went back on his word, she would really lose out big time. Besides, she was only temporarily lending him her food, she wasn't keeping it from him.

Feng Aotian looked at Gao Yi and reminded him, "Lord Gao, the Princess Consort of Chen came here to treat people according to the emperor's order. The emperor said that all officials in Tumu Town should obey her orders, including the common people." was just the way to go.” By the time Luo Li found out, that person was already gone. If she wanted to find trouble with him, it wouldn’t change anything anyway.Xiao Li thought about it, and it seeme...
