Time passed little by little. The Second Prince and his men distributed food to Su Jinxiu. Just as they finished eating, the rain gradually stopped.

"Second Prince, I will take my leave now. I am really worried about my sister. I want to go see her in advance." Su Jinxiu was really anxious.

"One more night is not a big deal, Jin Xiu. The weather is coldest after it rains. If you are sick, Miss Wen will be worried. It's only one day late. Rest up and be energetic. We will set out at dawn tomorrow. Get some rest," the second prince did not allow him to refute and held him down to let him rest.

Su Jinxiu was helpless, and his mood was still so urgent, so he could only agree to it. For a while, the nobles who suddenly came to the dilapidated temple rested and quieted down..........

"Miss, it's time to rest. You've lost a lot of weight recently. I feel bad for you." Xuan Ling looked at Wen Jiu, whose face and lips were white as snow.

"Silly girl, the young lady is having her period, but she has lost a lot of weight recently and doesn't eat much every day. This won't work," Bai Zhi looked at Wen Jiu and said, "Young lady, don't go tomorrow. Rest at home for a few days. It's better to go after your period. Xuan Ling and I can go. No, Xuan Ling should go, and I'll take care of you here."

"Okay, it's okay. I've been drinking your medicine for a long time and I'm much better now. It's just that my face looks ugly. Okay, get ready. The people sent by the court to provide disaster relief may arrive in the next two days." Wen Jiu asked them to go down and rest.

Early the next morning, Wenjiu woke up and started talking to Baizhi and Xuanling. Fu Yichen saw that she looked bad, "What's wrong with you? You've been very busy recently. The disaster relief people from the court will arrive in the next two days. You should go back and rest today. Look at how bad you look."

"It's okay, I just didn't get enough rest. I'll rest when the court people come. Otherwise, you'll be too busy if there's not enough manpower. It's really nothing serious. The people are still waiting for the porridge. Okay, let's get started." Wen Jiu knows his body. He also asked Xiao Jiujiu for painkillers last night. It shouldn't be a big deal. Just hold on...

Fu Yichen was in a group with Wenjiu, and he tried his best to not let her do any work, just distribute the steamed buns, and he would do the rest. Wenjiu could see that Fu Yichen wanted her to do less work, so he didn't say anything and let him do it.

It was not until the evening that a group of people came into the city. They all came on horseback. Few of the victims paid attention to them. They only thought about eating. Su Jinxiu, who was in the crowd, saw Wenjiu, who looked very bad and thin, and immediately dismounted and ran over. "Sister," Su Jinxiu almost cried.

Wen Jiu looked up, and tears almost welled up in her eyes at a glance. This was her little cousin, who came to see her. She had to try her best to show that she was not weak, so that he would not worry. But what she didn't know was that her face betrayed her.

"Sister, why are you so thin? You look so pale. Is this what you said about living well here, enjoying the scenery and flowers every day? You lied to us. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, would you have stayed like this forever? You are so weak, go back and rest." Su Jinxiu quickly supported the shaky sister.

"Brother, I'm fine. I just didn't get enough rest. I look tired. Why are you here?" Wen Jiu looked to the other side. She saw Fu Yichen greeting the Second Prince and the others. She vaguely heard their conversation. "Yichen, why are you here?"

"Second Prince, I heard about the flood here and came to support you. Please don't be offended, Second Prince."

"What are you talking about? You are doing a good thing for the people. I came here with the East Factory and the Minister of War. Thank you for your hard work. You can take a rest now. It is thanks to you that you have held on during this period that there has been no riot. We have also heard about Miss Wen along the way. She is indeed an extraordinary woman." The second prince stood here and said, but his eyes looked in the direction of Wen Jiu. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight and her face did not look right. "Let Miss Wen go back and rest! Leave this to the people we brought with us, and we will go to see Prince Xiao together."

"Yes, Second Prince, please follow me, sir." Fu Yichen never saw what the East Factory Supervisor looked like, because he never came out, just sitting in the sedan chair. He had heard that he was powerful and ruthless, but he could not believe that he was still a teenager.

Wenjiu bowed weakly, and then was helped by Su Jinxiu into the carriage and rushed towards the military camp...

Wen Jiu started to act pretentiously since she lay in Su Jinxiu's arms. In an instant, all the discomfort was infinitely magnified by the arrival of her relatives. When she arrived at the military camp, she was greeted by a light breeze.

"Greetings to the Second Prince, to the Governor, and to Lord Li. I am truly sorry that the Crown Prince is not feeling well, so I have to come to greet him. Someone, take good care of the things used for disaster relief, and no outsiders are allowed to approach."

"Yes"

"Did the prince go to the suburbs?" Wen Jiu asked. She had a vague bad feeling in her heart.

"How did Miss Wen know?" Qingfeng was surprised. Miss Wen should be distributing porridge and had no time to observe her master.

"Bai Zhi, who is beside me, has found out that there may be an epidemic in the suburbs. So today, our porridge distribution is isolated in the suburbs. People put the food out. It was just uncertain at first, but now it seems to be the truth. Hurry and take me to see it. You should be quarantined now. Those in the suburbs who have not entered the city should be temporarily appeased. They can only go out but not come in. As for the prince's tent, no one should approach it from today. Qingfeng, whoever approaches the prince's tent today should go to Bai Zhi to get medicine and drink it first. You'd better keep a distance from others for a few days. Tell me why your prince is feeling unwell?"

"That day, the prince wanted to help distribute porridge. Later, seeing that there were enough people, he went to the outskirts of the city to check the situation. There were still people in the suburbs, so the prince visited every household to inquire. Unexpectedly, in the home of a family of three, he saw a young child with a high fever. The prince thought of going over to check the situation. The child vomited blood all over the prince, and a lot of blood splashed on the prince's face. Then the child... died. When the prince came back, he began to faint. Until now, Qinglong is still in there for treatment. Miss Wen, I don't know if this is an epidemic. I want to go over to accompany the prince." Qingfeng regretted it very much at this time. It was all his fault that he couldn't get in front of his master in time.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are still many things you need to do. Leave the prince to me. You need to settle the outside world well. There must not be any chaos. We have just pacified the people. I am afraid that if the news gets out, there will be chaos in the city. You need to cooperate with the Second Prince well."

"Second Prince, I'm sorry, I may not be able to entertain you well. The matter is urgent. I will treat you and the adults to a good banquet after this difficult time. I will go first," Wen Jiu said, bowed and was about to leave.
