"We can't just sit back and do nothing. Master Zhang, we must formulate an emergency plan to at least stabilize the situation and reduce the death toll."

Lord Zhang nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Highness, what you said makes sense. I will immediately organize people to strengthen the disinfection and isolation measures in the city, and send people to the surrounding areas to purchase medicinal materials and food in case of emergency. As for Lady Jiang, I will also send people to urge her again, hoping that she can come up with a solution as soon as possible."

After that, the two of them began to act separately. Lord Zhang quickly summoned all the officials in the county government and deployed a series of emergency measures; while Xuan Yuchen personally went outside the city to urge the soldiers to strengthen patrols to prevent the epidemic from spreading to farther places.

The entire county seemed to be driven by an invisible force at this moment, and everyone was working towards the same goal - to overcome this sudden disaster.

However, as time went on, the epidemic did not seem to be alleviated by their efforts, but rather became more and more severe. The death toll continued to increase every day, and the tragic situation in the east of the city was even more shocking. The atmosphere in the county became increasingly depressing, and fear and despair spread like a plague in people's hearts.

On the sixth day, the sky was still gloomy, as if even the sky was mourning for this county shrouded in epidemic.

In Mr. Zhang's study, the candlelight flickered, reflecting his furrowed brows and exhausted face. The report came again, and the numbers were even more shocking: "Sir, the number of new deaths today has reached 3,500, and the situation is becoming more serious."

Mr. Zhang sighed heavily. He knew that behind every cold number was a broken family and endless sorrow.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the empty and quiet street outside, feeling powerless. He turned around and said to Xuan Yuchen who was standing beside him: "Your Highness, you must do something. You can't just sit there and wait for death."

Xuan Yuchen also had a worried look on his face. He was well aware of the severity and urgency of the epidemic, but facing such a raging disease, they seemed helpless.

Xuan Yuchen shook his head. "Forget it. Let's wait and see. In the meantime, you must immediately organize personnel to strengthen disinfection and isolation work in the city to reduce the spread of germs."

On the morning of the seventh day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone into the gloomy county town, people seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

However, the epidemic did not slow down, but instead intensified. Heartbreaking news came from Master Zhang's study again: "Master, large-scale infection has also begun to occur in the south of the city, and the situation is very critical."

Upon hearing this, Lord Zhang's face suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly, his eyes firm and resolute. "We can't wait any longer. We must take the initiative!" He turned to Xuan Yuchen and said, "Get your horses ready immediately. I'm going to see Lord Jiang. No matter what, we must find a solution."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuchen immediately agreed and quickly arranged everything. Lord Zhang put on his cloak, mounted his warhorse, and headed straight for the envoy's residence with a heart full of anxiety and expectation.

......

From the first day, Jiang Xue and Dr. Zeng worked all night to study the prescription. They kept testing various prescriptions, constantly modifying and improving them, striving to find the best treatment plan. The poor kitten could no longer remember how many prescriptions it had taken, but it still survived tenaciously.

In addition to traditional herbal remedies, Jiang Xue also boldly tried acupuncture. She held the silver needles with skill and precision, and each insertion was accompanied by her careful consideration of the condition. With her efforts, the cat's condition miraculously showed signs of improvement, which undoubtedly gave them great encouragement.

After several days of hard work, Jiang Xue finally confirmed the effectiveness of the prescription. She carefully observed the cat that was once on the verge of death. Now it can barely stand up, with the light of life flashing in its eyes. At this moment, she and Dr. Zeng smiled at each other, their eyes full of excitement and relief.

"It worked!" Jiang Xue shouted excitedly, with a trembling voice, which was a desire for victory and an affirmation of past efforts. Dr. Zeng also patted her shoulder excitedly. The two knew that this was not only the success of a prescription, but also the hope for the continuation of countless lives.

So they hurriedly packed up everything and set off for the county government office with this hard-earned good news.

Arriving at Caoyaxuan, Yuchen raised his hand to the air, ready to knock on the closed door, but the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, revealing Jiang Xue's slightly tired but resolute face. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then turned into a warm smile: "Achen, why are you here?"

"Xue'er, the situation is urgent." Xuan Yuchen's tone was heavy, "The epidemic is out of control, the death toll is still rising every day, and the whole county is shrouded in panic."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with determination: "Achen, don't worry, I have found a way to control the epidemic. After several days of hard work, the prescription has finally been developed." Her words were full of confidence and hope, as if a bright lamp was lit in the darkness.

"Really?" Xuan Yuchen's eyes flashed with a trace of unbelievable joy, which then turned into deep gratitude and admiration. He held Jiang Xue's hand tightly, as if to draw strength from it, "Xue'er, you are so amazing! This is simply good news for the people of the entire county."

"We have to act quickly." Jiang Xue came back to her senses quickly. "You ask the doctors to gather at the county government office. I will immediately hand them the prescription and ask them to start brewing the medicine and distribute it to the patients. At the same time, we also need to strengthen epidemic prevention measures to ensure that the epidemic does not spread any further."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Xuan Yuchen nodded in agreement, turned around and was about to leave, but stopped, turned back and looked at Jiang Xue deeply, "Xue'er, you should also take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

"Let's go! Every minute and every second counts!" Jiang Xue's voice was filled with a hint of urgency and nervousness.

"Okay!" Xuan Yuchen responded.

Lord Zhang on the side seemed to still be immersed in the shock brought by the sudden good news from Jiang Xue and Xuan Yuchen. He was stunned for a moment before slowly turning his gaze to Doctor Zeng beside him, his eyes full of disbelief and expectation.

"Doctor Zeng, are you serious?" Zhang's voice trembled slightly, and every word revealed his inner excitement and nervousness. This epidemic was like a nightmare that made him almost breathless, but now, a ray of light seemed to penetrate the clouds and illuminate his world.
