The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

When Eleven was driving the carriage with Mu Jin and Qing'er back towards Prince Yun's Mansion, they passed by a herbal medicine shop. He stopped the carriage, asked for Mu Jin's consent, and went to the shop to buy some medicinal herbs.

Seeing Eleven carrying some medicines, Mu Jin asked Eleven if he was feeling unwell.

"Just now, outside the VIP room of Shuyu Tower, I heard the young lady talking about the plague with King Yi and others. The young lady asked them to buy medicines for treating body weakness, dampness and heat. I thought, if the herbal medicine shop still has such medicines, I should buy a few of them as a backup."

Mu Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and said to Eleven: "Very good!"

When they returned to Cuizhu Courtyard, Qing'er and other maids made preparations to prevent the plague as Mu Jin had just told everyone in Shuyu Tower.

It was only a few days until New Year's Eve. Red lanterns had been hung in the bamboo courtyard, festive window grilles were pasted on the windows, and several maids were fumigating every room with burning mugwort.

Mu Jin looked at the red lanterns and the gloomy sky that showed it was going to snow soon, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

When Qing'er took the cloak and put it on Mu Jin who was standing in the yard, she saw Mu Jin frowning and couldn't help asking.

"Young lady, what are you worried about? Are you worried about the plague? I think if we follow your advice, we will be safe and sound."

"I was thinking, there have been several heavy snowfalls this year, and now there is a plague, which will affect my father and brother at the border. I wonder if the court can send enough food and clothing to the soldiers at the border." Mu Jin said with a frown.

Qing'er comforted her, "Miss, don't worry. No matter how much the court saves, it will not save on the rations of the soldiers at the border."

At dinner time, Mu Jin was sitting in the dining room having his meal when he saw Su Yuntian stepping into the Cuizhu Courtyard.

Seeing that Mu Jin didn't even greet him, Su Yuntian didn't get angry. He sat next to Mu Jin uninvited and asked Qing'er, who was standing next to Mu Jin, to bring him another bowl of rice.

It was rare to see Su Yuntian like this, Mu Jin couldn't help but sneer.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. Even if you haven't, I'm not afraid that the food in my Cuizhu Courtyard won't suit your taste."

Su Yuntian picked up a piece of dish with chopsticks and put it in the bowl, then shoveled it into his mouth with rice.

"Where did you go this afternoon? The capital has been in turmoil lately, so don't leave the house from today onwards."

Mu Jin pretended to be ignorant and asked Su Yuntian, it was almost the New Year, what could be so unrestful?

Afraid that Mu Jin would not listen to him, Su Yuntian thought about it and decided to tell Mu Jin that the plague would soon spread to the capital.

"Will that affect my father and brothers at the border?"

Mu Jin's sudden question almost choked Su Yuntian who was drinking soup. He was stunned for a moment and then quickly replied.

"Everything is fine at the border. If there is any problem, my father-in-law will report it to the court. The court will definitely focus on the soldiers at the border. You don't have to worry about this."

"What about the plague?" Mu Jin continued to ask.

Su Yuntian put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Mu Jin, saying, "Since my father ascended the throne, there has been no plague in Dongyue, so the only references are some documents in history books. Now let's close the city gates, issue the imperial edict, and find someone who can treat the plague. I think it's only a matter of time, there will always be a way to solve it."

Mu Jin knew that Su Yu had let Su Yuntian take charge of some positions. She was not interested in finding out what they were specifically, but thinking that Su Yuntian was more or less a prince, the information she could get from him would definitely be pretty accurate.

Thinking of this, Mu Jin put aside his hidden worries about his father and brother.

Mu Jin was full at this time. She stood up, without saying hello to Su Yuntian, and went back to her room, closing the door as if she was on guard against something.

Looking at Mu Jin like this, Su Yuntian had no intention of continuing his meal. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and then walked out of Cuizhu Courtyard.

On Xiao Si's side, there was a faint smell of medicine wafting out from Eleven's room.

At this time, Eleven was staring at the medicine jar in a daze. Seeing the jar puffing out billowing white smoke, he finally reacted and reached out to open the lid of the jar.

Eleven picked up the small knife beside him and cut his palm. Blood instantly flowed out from the palm where the knife cut, and he dripped it into the medicine pot and boiled it together with the boiling herbs.

In the afternoon, he heard Su Yi say in the VIP room that the people in the surrounding counties had already shown symptoms of the plague, and that they wanted to invite people from the Nangong Divine Sect to come out of seclusion. However, only he knew that even if they did, it would be useless without him and his grandmother.

As the successor of Nangong Divine Sect, Eleven, like all previous sect leaders, has a prescription that benefits the world. Moreover, they have unique bodies and ordinary injuries and poisons cannot cause much harm to them.

This is also why he was able to recover quickly even though he was repeatedly injured and even poisoned by Guangfu.

Eleven reacted by feeling a pain in his palm. He tied his palm with the white cloth, then wrapped the medicine jar with heat-insulating cloth and walked towards Cuizhu Courtyard.

Eleven was not allowed to appear in the inner courtyard at this hour. He used his lightness skills to leap into the bamboo courtyard and landed next to the medicine garden. Qing'er happened to pass by at this time. She was almost frightened and wanted to shout for help, but when she saw that it was Eleven, she said something in a bad mood.

"I was so scared. I thought it was some scoundrel. Why did you come here so late? What's the matter?"

Eleven said sorry to Qing'er with an apologetic look on his face. Mu Jin happened to hear the noise and also walked out of the room.

Mu Jin saw Eleven holding a medicine jar and asked him what it was for. Eleven then held the medicine jar and came to Mu Jin.

"The doctor at the pharmacy just now said that this prescription is very effective for epidemic diseases. It is best to take it first as a preventive measure so that you don't have to worry about being infected."

Eleven spoke hesitantly, this was the first time he lied to Mu Jin.

When Mu Jin saw that Eleven didn't even dare to look at her when speaking, Mu Jin knew that Eleven was not telling the truth, but she believed that Eleven would not harm her.

"Really? That's great. Why didn't the doctor hand over the prescription to the court and receive the emperor's favor?"

Eleven lowered his head and remained silent. After a long time, Mu Jin asked Qing'er to bring a bowl and pour him a bowl of the medicine soup cooked by Eleven.

Mu Jin turned to look at Qing'er and said, "Distribute the remaining medicine to everyone in Cuizhu Courtyard and make sure they take it. Don't waste Eleven's hard work in preparing it."

Qing'er was ordered to leave.

Seeing Mu Jin drinking the medicine without hesitation, Eleven couldn't help but feel relieved.

As long as Mu Jin and the people in Cuizhuyuan drank it, they would not be afraid of being infected by the plague. Thinking of this, he felt relieved.

"Is your hand injured?" Mu Jin asked while looking at Eleven's hand wrapped in white cloth.

Eleven glanced at her palm that was cut by the knife and forced a smile: "It's okay, I accidentally burned myself when I was boiling the medicine just now. Miss, go to bed early. I'll leave first."

Afraid that Mu Jin would notice something unusual about him, Eleven just wanted to say goodbye to Mu Jin as soon as possible. When he was about to leave, Mu Jin stopped him.

"Eleven, do you really have nothing else to say to me?"

Hearing Mu Jin's sudden question, Eleven's back stiffened involuntarily, and he paused as he was about to walk away.
