After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

The night is dark.

For many people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Zhuang Mengdie suddenly fell into the door of truth, but the doubts in her heart did not decrease. Instead, she felt more and more anxious and tossed and turned - if she was in front of Wen Qian, she could still protect her grandfather with a clear conscience, but facing Yuan Ge, she was in a dilemma.

On one side is filial piety, on the other side is righteousness, between the two dilemmas is that no matter which choice she makes, she will suffer a lot - but the most tormenting thing is that she has not hesitated for a moment, even if Yuan Ge's death was just an accident, but it is true that her grandfather got involved in Yuan Ge's private secret room, and this is what her grandfather did wrong. When she was young, she was raised by her grandfather. Her grandfather once said that if you make a mistake, you must take responsibility. Her grandfather made a mistake, and now this ending is already very good, but she always wants to ask in person whether Yuan Ge's death has anything to do with him.

However, such sleepless nights finally ended in the second half of the night when one of Zhuang Lichuan's concubines began to have a fever and talk nonsense. She chattered and cried out that she was cold while half asleep and half awake. The maids hurriedly covered her with layers of quilts, but she danced and cried out that she was hot. The maids helped her to lift another layer of quilts, panting and not sitting down to catch her breath, the concubine started to cry out that she was cold again. The servants had no choice but to look for Ma overnight. Zhuang Mengdie's courtyard was close, so when she heard the noise and rushed over, she saw a crowd of people surrounding her. Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

He quickly evacuated the servants, leaving only two or three to take care of her, and then persuaded his grandmother to go back to sleep. He originally wanted to ask someone to call Yuan Ge, but when he thought of Yuan Ge's current condition that could be blown away by a gust of wind, he finally decided to let Nan Yin come over.

Zhuang Lichuan's concubines were known for their good relationships. They were always laughing and joking, and they visited each other frequently. Ma was also a good cook, and she also loved to prepare some delicious snacks. When these concubines had free time, they loved to visit her, embroidering, playing the piano, and dancing together when they were in the mood. But at this critical moment, this phenomenon was not a good thing... Zhuang Mengdie was particularly worried about this, and went to see Yuan Ge again the next morning.

Yuan Ge had a pair of dark and swollen eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept well. The old man had a high fever and was talking nonsense intermittently in the second half of the night. Yuan Qi and Yuan Ge were shouting wildly, and he didn't know who he met. He said in pain that he didn't take good care of the children... He apologized and repented in his dream. Yuan Ge was worried outside and tried one prescription after another. It was not until the sky turned pale that the old man fell asleep peacefully.

Even so, the warrior, who had originally looked healthy, instantly became much thinner and older after this crime, and his face looked sunken as he lay on the bed.

Yuan Ge tucked the quilt for him, rubbed his sore neck and came out to see Zhuang Mengdie. He frowned even more and scolded her, "It's not a good place, but you are addicted to it. Do you come here for three meals a day? Go back quickly. Don't come here for no reason. You're causing trouble for nothing."

Zhuang Mengdie did not exchange pleasantries with her and said frankly, "I know, I didn't intend to come. It's just that something happened with my grandmother. One of my grandfather's concubines seemed to have contracted the plague last night. I think she might have been infected with the plague."

Yuan Ge suddenly stopped rubbing the back of her neck, her fingertips rested on the skin, and she looked at Zhuang Mengdie with a slightly frowned brow. She always felt as if something was not right, but she couldn't put her finger on it for a moment, so she remained silent for a while.

Zhuang Mengdie continued, "Well, you also know the situation on grandma's side. I'm worried that most of the people in that large courtyard will be infected, so I came to ask you what other herbs we need to buy. I will go find someone to deal with it now, so as not to delay things because of insufficient herbs. Also, although you said that Sister Hong also agreed to this matter, her current status is after all on the opposite side of you, you can't just trust her completely. She handed over those people to me, and you also handed over this matter to me, there will be no problems at all!"

The girl who made such a solemn promise had a faint blue color under her eyes, but her pupils were large and dark, and her face was so serious that there was not a trace of smile on her face.

"I didn't trust her." Yuan Ge was silent for a moment, and finally explained in a gentle voice, "It was because I didn't trust her that I dragged her into this. If I stayed out of it, it would be even more out of control."

Zhuang Mengdie shook her head repeatedly, "Everyone says that you are cunning and sly like a fox, but I always think that you are the most innocent and kind. If you don't trust her, you don't need to use her. If you want her to stay out of the matter, there are naturally many other ways. Just leave this matter to me, don't worry about it, it won't delay the important work anyway."

Originally, he didn't want to involve Zhuang Mengdie, but since the other party had solemnly promised to protect Zhixuan Mountain, he might encounter more troubles in the next few decades... Thinking of this, Yuan Ge finally nodded and agreed, "I can leave the people to you to arrange, just be careful, and there is no need to run around as long as Ma and my grandfather are fine."

Zhuang Mengdie listened earnestly and naggingly, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay, I got it! Why are you nagging more and more like an old lady? Even my grandmother doesn't like to nag as much as you! Go and write! Finish it quickly and let me go. I don't like staying here either."

The specific prescription has not yet been finalized, but most of the medicinal materials needed on a large scale are commonly used ones and can indeed be purchased in advance.

In just half a cup of tea, Yuan Ge came out with a piece of paper filled with medicinal herbs. Compared to before she went in, she looked particularly worried. Her brows were furrowed, and she stared at the list of medicinal herbs in her hand with her eyes downcast, as if she wanted to stare a hole in it.

Zhuang Mengdie just thought she was worried, so she waved her hand, calling back her wandering thoughts. "Okay, okay, it's no big deal. I've been in the world for so many years, how could I mess up such a small thing? I'm not as good as you in treating illnesses, but you're not as good as me in this matter... Let's go!" She waved the list in her hand, turned around and left.

Yuan Ge suddenly looked up and called out, "Wait!"

She asked Zhuang Mengdie, "When did your grandfather's concubines ever come to this yard?"

Zhuang Mengdie's mind was on the list. Without thinking, she frowned and sneered, "What are you talking about? When have you seen any of them here in all these years? Although those concubines are noisy, they are very law-abiding and never get involved in other people's affairs... Don't ruin your reputation! I'm leaving!" After that, she waved her hand and turned to walk out.

Yuan Ge was left standing there, watching Zhuang Mengdie leave in a hurry, but his brows did not relax at all: Yes... Zhuang Lichuan's concubines have indeed never visited other men's courtyards in these years, and have little interaction with this place, so why did they get infected with the plague so quickly...
