As soon as the sun rose, Deyin had already packed up and was waiting for Yinzhen outside the door.

As soon as Yinzhen touched the door, Deyin pulled it open and helped him out with one hand.

"You look so happy today." Yinzhen looked at the little girl in front of him with a gentle face.

Today, I am going to find the Jincheng County Magistrate to find out what happened. Fortunately, the place we are going to is not dangerous, so it is okay to let Deyin go.

"Who are you? Check at the checkpoint." As usual, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Thirteen got off the car with the token. The man knew it was something from the palace, so he sent someone to report to the county magistrate. The county magistrate immediately sent someone to welcome them in. God had a vision and the court was finally willing to send someone to save Jincheng after so many days. The county magistrate bowed to the sky and prayed for Jincheng to survive this disaster safely.

As soon as Yinzhen and his men arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, County Magistrate Wang was waiting at the door. He originally thought that the court had sent only ministers, but he didn't expect it to be the prince. This further showed that the court attached great importance to this incident. County Magistrate Wang smiled and went to meet Yinzhen.

"Please get up, Magistrate Wang. We are here to find out what is going on."

Ten days ago, the first patients with breathing difficulties appeared in the village. The disease spread from one to ten, and then to a hundred. The whole city was shrouded in the plague, and people were in a panic. It was said everywhere that this was a sign from heaven and that the world was going to change.

"Could you please explain it in a little more detail?" Deyin couldn't help but interrupt as he listened to Magistrate Wang's words. This was the most critical part of this epidemic, and it was also the breakthrough point in solving the spread of this plague. Only by figuring out the symptoms could we prescribe the medicine.

Magistrate Wang said that the plague was coming with great force. At the beginning, the patients showed symptoms of fever and cough, and later they had difficulty breathing and could not be saved.

The doctors in the city were helpless and countless people had died. Fortunately, the imperial court sent people to help them through the difficult times.

When Deyin heard this, he felt that the symptoms were similar to the epidemics recorded in the books. In today's language, it is called the cold, but people at that time had low resistance and could not withstand the torment. Besides, there was no experience at that time, which led to these consequences.

Deyin already had a rough idea in mind, but he didn't know if there was any suitable medicine in the city.

Deyin wanted to go and check out the epidemic situation, but Yinzhen refused to let her go no matter what.

"Just let me go, okay? I will protect myself."

Yinzhen watched Deyin acting coquettishly towards him, and he always felt soft-hearted at inappropriate times. This time, it was really impossible for him to let her go.

When Deyin saw Yinzhen’s stubborn attitude, she knew it was impossible and had to think of other ways.

Deyin looked at Yinzhen with an aggrieved look on her face: "Okay, then I won't cause trouble for Lord Beile." She even lowered her head and brushed it off, making the two of them seem very unfamiliar. He couldn't do anything about the little girl, so he had to stare at her back.

"Master, County Magistrate Wang is looking for you." Yinzhen immediately went to Xiayang Village with Thirteen to find County Magistrate Wang. They had agreed before that they would go to villages with frequent epidemic infections together.

Deyin was not idle either, she followed him, and was almost discovered by Yinzhen several times, but fortunately she was quick to hide. In fact, he had already noticed Deyin behind him, but he just pretended not to see her and didn't want to expose her. Yinzhen also knew that she was determined to do the same thing as him and no one could stop her.

Although the plague was nothing to Deyin, she still put on the veil for safety reasons. Deyin followed Yinzhen all the way and didn't know why he went to the village. She was not a doctor, and she would just cause trouble if she stayed there.

As soon as they arrived at the village, Yinzhen was afraid that Deyin had gotten lost, so he turned back and pulled Deyin out from behind the wall.

"How did you know I was here?" Deyin thought that he had found her without hesitation just now. Could it be that he had seen her a long time ago? "You knew I was following you, and you still played tricks on me." Deyin was being petty with him.

Yinzhen looked at her and said, "If I expose you so early, you will blame me for other things again." Yinzhen couldn't help but teasing the little girl when he saw her thoughts.

"Fourth brother, look at the situation now. You still have the mind to talk about love there, why don't you get down to business." Deyin looked at the person in front and urged him to hurry over.

Deyin looked at the people in front of her who didn't even take any protective measures. Fortunately, she was careful and brought a few more veils. Deyin stood on tiptoe to tie the veil for Yinzhen. The bow on the back was extremely eye-catching, and Thirteen smiled knowingly when he saw it.

As soon as Deyin entered the epidemic area, he understood what was going on. The population here was dense and the environment was poor. Some of the people infected with the plague were thrown into the river. Once the water was contaminated, the villagers would be infected if they drank the raw water. The other symptoms were a matter of medicine. The city was in urgent need of medicinal materials. If the soup and medicine were not prepared, the disease would not be cured.

Deyin pulled Yinzhen over and told him her method. He naturally believed her, and now he had no choice but to do it according to her method.

"Master, believe me." Yinzhen took Deyin's hand and patted it, giving her confidence.

The most important medicine we are short of now is Scrophularia, but this medicine is not easy to get. It will take at least half a month to transport it to Jincheng, but Jincheng can no longer afford the delay.

"Little boy, what's going on?" Yinzhen looked at the little boy in front of him, lowered his head and approached him and asked softly.

Deyin felt something was wrong when she looked at the little boy. He was breathing rapidly and had a rash on the back of his neck. This was not good. This was a superficial symptom.

"Stay away from him." Yinzhen stood up upon hearing this.

"What's going on.".

Deyin called him over and told him about his doubts.

"It's okay, my master is in good health." Yinzhen touched Deyin's head to dispel her doubts.

The people sent by County Magistrate Wang have not found Scrophularia ningpoensis yet. This medicine is not abundant at this time of year, and it is not easy to gather so much.

"I don't know if the court has seen the memorial I submitted." The memorial was from the county magistrate asking the court for Scrophularia ningpoensis. Now that the medicine could not be gathered, he could only place his hope in the capital.

Yinzhen was also anxious. It was reasonable that the court should have responded after so many days, but there was still no response. Maybe something went wrong.

"Myna, if we keep the letter from Jincheng like this, will something go wrong?" Lao Shi was a little scared.

The Eighth Prince was calm, for he knew that given Yinzhen's personality, he would never just leave Jincheng alone. If something unexpected happened after entering the city, no one would know about it.

"Myna, I'm still a little scared." Lao Shi felt that this was inappropriate and wanted to persuade Myna to stop and not make a big mistake.

As soon as Yinzhen returned to the inn, he felt dizzy. It might be because he was too tired these days. He would be fine after a rest. Yinzhen pushed Deyin out of the door. He knew that the little boy he saw today had some symptoms. He was still a little worried and didn't want to stay with Deyin for long.

On the second day, Deyin felt that Yinzhen was a little out of breath when talking to him. Deyin grabbed his hand and touched it, and found that his pulse was weak. Deyin did not dare to think further, nor was he willing to admit that Yinzhen was really infected.

"Master, how do you feel now?" After hearing Yinzhen's words, Deyin knew that his condition had worsened last night. If she had been with him last night, it might not have been like this. Deyin felt a little guilty. She should have discovered it earlier. He had been working so hard these days, and his health was worse than usual. He was not tired at all last night.

However, all the medicines were not available yet, so Deyin had to prescribe some medicine to relieve his symptoms so that he would feel better.

Yinzhen was isolated in a room, and no one was allowed to approach him. He could only watch from a distance when Deyin brought him medicine. After a few days, his illness not only did not get better, but became more and more serious. What should he do? The medicine from the court had not been delivered yet. Deyin spoke with a crying tone. What should he do? In the past, when he encountered difficulties, Yinzhen always stood behind him, but this time, difficulties came to him.

"Thirteen, I suspect the memorial has not been delivered to the emperor. Now you have to make the trip." Yinxiang also felt that something was fishy. After so many days, the emperor was unwilling to ignore it. Now he would only feel relieved if he returned to Beijing in person.

When the Thirteenth Emperor arrived at the capital, he found out that the memorial had not been submitted and the Emperor's father did not know about the Jincheng incident. When Kangxi heard that Yinzhen was infected but someone had concealed it, he was furious in the court, and the whole court was so scared that no one dared to speak. He ordered a strict investigation of the matter and sent medicine to Jincheng immediately.

Yinzhen's condition still didn't improve, and he fainted that day. Deyin couldn't care less and ran over to hug Yinzhen and feed him medicine, but the medicine kept spilling out. Deyin couldn't care less and drank the medicine and covered Yinzhen's lips. Fortunately, he finally drank it.

"Miss Deyin, the Thirteenth Prince has returned with medicine." Ling An came to inform Deyin as soon as he saw the Thirteenth Prince returning.

Deyin immediately took the Scrophularia ningpoensis and went to make medicine for Yinzhen. Fortunately, she arrived in time. After drinking it for a day, Yinzhen showed improvement and only needed to rest for two more days.

Deyin has been taking care of Yinzhen these days, and as soon as his illness recovered, his words became frivolous again.

"Why don't you feed me the medicine?" Upon hearing this, Deyin picked up the medicine bowl and started feeding him one spoonful at a time.

"That's not what I meant." As soon as Deyin thought of this, she understood what he was talking about. It turned out that he was pretending that day.

"You, why are you so frivolous? I shouldn't have saved you if I had known." Deyin pretended to be angry and slammed the medicine bowl on the table.

That day, Yinzhen just felt that the touch on his lips was vaguely wrong, but later he knew it was Deyin, because only she would approach him in such a dangerous situation.
