"Wangshu, you know I don't want to, and I can't..."

Shang Shixu lowered her head. She always felt that she was not worthy of Bai Wangshu's dedication.

Bai Wangshu gently stroked her forehead and lifted Shang Shixu's face with his hand.

"Sister, I did everything voluntarily. You don't need to feel burdened."

Shang Shixu held his hand.

"Wangshu, stop doing things you don't want to do for me, and think about yourself, it's not worth it."

Bai Wangshu shook his head stubbornly, he didn't want to.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Shang Shixu showed no mercy this time and forcefully pulled his hand away.

“Wangshu, be yourself.”

Bai Wangshu looked at his empty hands and raised his head with lifeless eyes.

"Sister, I live only for you."

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Shang Shixu gently helped him spread the quilt and turned to leave.

Bai Wangshu just watched Shang Shixu leave without saying anything else.

He knew that his sister would not understand him, and he was born for her.

God gave him a chance to return to his sister.

It was to make him protect his sister, no matter what his sister wanted to do.

He would fully support her, as long as his sister wanted it and he had it.

He would definitely give it all to his sister without hesitation.

Shang Shixu came out of Bai Wangshu's room and came to the plague place.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block the road."

"Sir, please save my mother."

"Mom, it hurts."

"Ooooooooooooo, my son!"

Shang Shixu stopped at the door. She suddenly didn't dare to go in.

She was afraid to see the fear and disappointment in the people's eyes.

Because they showed that kind of expression, it meant that I was incapable and failed to save them in time.

"Sir, why don't you go in?"

Wushe arrived late, following behind Shang Shise.

He was puzzled as to why Shang Shixu was standing at the door and not going in, and thought something had happened.

Shang Shixu turned around and looked at Wushe seriously.

"Wushe, the people are living in such a miserable state, it's all my fault."

Wu She shook his head, bowed slightly and saluted respectfully.

"Sir, it is never your fault that the people are miserable.

The plague came suddenly, and you have done your best.

Don't blame yourself, you are the backbone of your subordinates.

If you are so depressed, what can we do?"

Shang Shixu helped Wushe up. What he said made sense. He shouldn't be sad and worried about autumn here.

She should open the door generously, accept the people's complaints, and do her best to help them solve their problems.

Shang Shixu pushed open the door of the plague hospital, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

She swallowed and walked over with an expressionless face.

A bailiff who worked at the Ley Office came over and looked Shang Shixu up and down.

"Who are you to dare to trespass into the plague center? Get out now."

Shang Shixu raised her eyebrows. Why did everyone question her identity and ask her to get out?

"I am Prime Minister Shang Shixu, and I am here to inspect under the order of His Royal Highness the Great Prince."

Shang Shixu took out her badge. Fortunately, she was smart and asked the eldest prince for the badge in advance.

The bailiff took the badge and looked at it carefully. After a while, he immediately showed a flattering expression.

"Hey, it turns out to be the Prime Minister. I was blind and didn't recognize the great man.

Don't blame me, Prime Minister. Please go and inspect it. I will take my leave now."

Shang Shixu grabbed him.

"Wait, you accompany me on the inspection."

"Yes, sir. It is my honor to accompany you on the inspection."

The yamen runner led Shang Shixu and Wushe on an inspection, introducing them from time to time.

The reason why Shang Shixu wanted to keep him was just for convenience.

He and Wushe couldn't just talk about the antidote to the plague here, it would seem so awkward.

After they walked for a while, Shang Shixu and Wushe looked at each other and prepared to start making plans.

"Um, what's your name? I admire you."

When the bailiff heard Shang Shixu say this, he immediately smiled.

"My name is Zhao Liu, and I grew up in Lingnan.

I started working in the government office in my twenties, and it has been six years now.

Sir, look at me..."

"Okay, okay, I understand. Please wait a moment."

Shang Shixu interrupted him hurriedly. This yamen runner was very fast-talking. In just a few breaths, he had already uttered a long string of nonsense.

"Okay, sir, please give me your orders. I am willing to die for you!"

Shang Shixu waved his hand to signal him to get up, feeling a little regretful for choosing him. He was really too noisy.

"Zhao Liu, do the people know the progress of the plague antidote?"

Zhao Liu rolled his eyes and answered cautiously.

"Reporting to the Lord, the people do not know, we are very tight-lipped.

If you don't want the people to know something, we will never tell anyone. Please rest assured."

Shang Shixu nodded with satisfaction.

"It's good that you don't know, but it doesn't matter if you know. I have found a way to break the plague."

A flattering look appeared on Zhao Liu's face.

"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. I really admire you very much.

I beg you to accept me. As long as you accept me, I will do anything you ask me to do."

Shang Shixu waved her hand. She didn't want to recruit someone who had no skills but talked a lot of nonsense.

"You are not qualified yet. Everyone around me is an expert among experts. You should gain more experience for a few years."

The yamen runner hung his head in disappointment and followed Shang Shixu silently.

After a while, he looked at Shang Shixu hesitantly again.

"My Lord, my Lord, I admire you very much. Even if you don't want to accept me,

Please also let me know how you cleverly and wisely solved the plague prescription.

I will record your deeds and pass them down for generations to come."

Shang Shixu raised his eyebrows. This yamen runner is quite sweet-talking. He is so good at dealing with things.

How could I be just a small yamen runner?

Unless someone deliberately placed him here to get some information.

And he just laid so much groundwork, too much information,

If you are not careful, he will take you in and tell him the news in a daze.

It's just a pity that he was unlucky to meet her business partner.

She has never been someone who can be fooled by sweet words.

Besides, his question was too straightforward. Did he think she was a fool?

But just tell him, in order to spread the word.

Shang Shixu pretended to be proud and arrogant, held his head high, and proudly recounted his heroic deeds.

"When I was looking for the last herb for the plague, I accidentally found a snow money herb.

According to the research of the imperial physician, the efficacy of Snow Dollar Grass and Cage Dollar Grass is similar.

Therefore, we can use snow money grass as a substitute. The antidote for the plague will soon be developed.

The people are about to be saved, hahahaha."

"Congratulations, sir. Lingnan is lucky to have an official like you."

Shang Shixu stroked his sleeves lightly, looking very pleased.

Zhao Liu smiled and saw Shang Shixu and the other person out.
