he couldn't be happy.From where does she come, and to where does she go One should not force her. Does this mean that she is not a person of this world and should not stay hereFeng Lingxi followed Du..."There shouldn't be any problems along the way, how long will it take to reach Tumu Town"

Feng Aotian regained his composure and said precisely, "Two and a half hours."

Feng Lingxi nodded, they could reach Tumu Town before dark.

"Take a short break and then set off. Arrive before dark."

Feng Aotian responded, took a sip of water, and got up to patrol.

Feng Lingxi said these herbs were so important, he dared not be the slightest bit negligent, and wouldn't allow even a tiny mistake. The people of Tumuzhen were still waiting for him to return and save them.

"He suddenly changed like this, and I'm not used to it."

Feng Lingxi chuckled self-deprecatingly, turning to look at Feng Yumo who stood not far away watching Feng Aotiān. The tangled and struggling look in his eyes made Feng Lingxi frown.

Still couldn't let it go

"Yǔmò, get ready. Don't waste time."

Feng Lingxi patted him on the shoulder, "Looking at it now, he seems to be doing a pretty good job."

Feng Yu Mo hummed in response, retracted his gaze and went to prepare.

After two and a half hours' walk, although not at a fast pace, as Feng Lingxi had said, no one came to rob the medicinal herbs. After walking for two hours, they arrived in Tumuwzhen.

The civil town gate was tightly shut. After they arrived, Feng Aotian led them into the city. The situation inside the city wasn't good; the streets were quite desolate with no one coming out, and every household had their doors firmly closed.

The city guard commander personally greeted them, knowing Feng Ling Xi's identity, and served them with utmost respect.

"Your Highness, the inn is ready. Your Highness..."

"Lord Liu, why are all the houses in this city closed up Is it because of an illness"

Wind Lingxi carefully looked over, the street was deserted, even the fallen leaves on the ground were uncleaned. The once thriving town of Tu Mu seemed completely abandoned.

Lord Liu's face stiffened slightly.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort of Huicheng, the official is truly helpless. This situation is special. To prevent the spread of infection among the populace, the official has arranged for all infected civilians and soldiers to be housed in a manor in the western suburbs of the city. There are physicians and dedicated personnel there to care for them."

"If the doctor takes care of them, won't he also get sick"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, not quite believing this Lord Liu.

Lord Liu wore a troubled expression, "Honestly, there's nothing we can do. There are about five hundred people infected at the moment, with varying degrees of severity. We've assigned them accordingly, and several doctors within the city have volunteered to go."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotien behind her.

"You put the medicinal herbs away, I'll go see the patient in the western suburbs."

"I'll go with you."

Feng Aotian looked at Feng Yu Mo, “You follow them and put the medicinal herbs away. I will go with the Crown Princess.”

"No, I have to protect my sister's safety. This matter, my sister asked you to go, I won't."

Feng Yu Mo's mission was to protect his sister's safety. Besides, he was young and had a better resistance than her.

"The General Zhen Guo must have been through a lot on his journey. It would have been enough to just send Yu Mo with me."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth and turned to look at Elder Liu, “Please trouble Elder Liu to take me there to have a look.”

Lord Liu looked at Feng Aotian. Seeing him nod, he smiled and said, "Madam Chen, you've worked hard. This official will take Madam Chen there now."

"Be careful."

Feng Aotien watched Feng Lingxi was about to leave, and hurriedly spoke up to remind her.

Feng Lingxi paused her steps, uttered a sound, and then, accompanied by Feng Yu Mo, followed Lord Liu toward the western suburbs.

The western suburbs and the town were not particularly far apart. Master Liu, with Feng Lingxi beside him, took a carriage to go over. It only took a short while.

The west suburbs, to put it plainly, is a slum. There are sick people everywhere, lying on the ground in pain, groaning and coughing. Some are being cared for.

Feng Lingxi took out a bottle from her arms and handed a pill to Feng Yumo, “Eat this.”

Wind Feather Ink took it and swallowed. Master Liu looked at Feng Lingxi, though he was curious about what kind of medicine she had taken, he didn't dare to ask, let alone reach out to ask for some.

"Lord Liu, are you a frequent visitor"

Wind Lingxi took out a pill and handed it to him. Lord Liu ate it without hesitation. Wind Lingxi turned her head and glanced at him, “Lord Liu doesn’t ask me what I’m giving you, aren’t you afraid that it’s poison”

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is joking. Both the Empress and the young General have taken these pills, so how could I doubt them"

Feng Lingxi actually liked this trust he had in her.

How many commoners are there here

Wind Lingxi asked, after a rough calculation, I'm afraid there are more than five hundred people.

Most patients are currently in the coughing stage, some have developed rashes, and a few have blisters.

"Takes up half."

"Are there any elderly people or children"

Feng Lingxi's gaze swept across the place, and she didn't see anything. She let out a breath of relief instead.

"Yes, I have separated them. These elderly people and women and children are weak, and I'm afraid they can't handle it, so I allocated them to that area. I hope they can wait until treatment time."

"Take me there."

Feng Lingxi spoke, and Lord Liu led the way. As they passed by a tent ahead, several large cauldrons were set up there, filling the air with the aroma of medicine.

Feng Lingxi walked over and saw several people dressed as pharmacists making medicine. She walked up, picked up a bowl of medicine, and sniffed it at her nose. An old man beside her saw this and hurriedly stopped her.

"Do not take medicine on your own, Willow...Willow sir."

The old man, seeing that it was Lord Liu who had come along, quickly bowed.

Master Liu introduced, “Doctor Tian, this is Princess Chen. She's here to help with the illness.”

When Dr. Tian heard that it was the princess, he immediately apologized, "The commoner has eyes but fails to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, Your Highness..."

Feng Lingxi raised her hand, "Lord Tian, you don't need to be so polite. This is the medicine you made for them, right"

Doctor Tian hurriedly explained, "I'm currently adding medicine to the original recipe in hopes of improving their condition."

Feng Lingxi nodded, this medicine, indeed was well-matched.

How is it going

Doctor Tian shook his head, full of helplessness.

"As a doctor who has practiced medicine for decades, I have never encountered such a strange ailment. It truly baffles me. After being poisoned, they cough for three days, followed by a rash, blisters, and pus formation. The itching is unbearable. Finally, unable to endure this inhuman torment, they take their own lives."

After Dr. Tian finished speaking, he let out a heavy sigh.

"Several people have already died. The commoners are truly useless."

"Doctor Tian, please don't say that. Could you take me to see patients at each stage" Feng Lingxi said, then looked at Liu the Official beside her and explained, "Liu the Official, there is no need to overthink this. I just feel that Doctor Tian would know these patients' situations better than you."

"This official dares not, Your Highness, the Princess Consort of Chen should take more care."

Feng Lingxi responded and agreed, asking Tian Daifu to lead the way.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort, these are patients who were just brought in after falling ill. They are still in the coughing stage right now. They've just contracted the disease, and their cough isn't frequent yet, almost like a common cold. It gets worse each day, though. After three days, they become weak all over and develop a rash, which basically confirms the diagnosis."

Feng Lingxi nodded, Doctor Tian said it well. After being diagnosed, everyone is staying here to avoid cross-infection.

"Ahem..."

The sound of a child's cough reached Feng Lingxi's ears. She glanced over and saw a woman holding a child not far away. Her face looked normal, not like she was sick. However, the child in her arms, about seven or eight years old, had a pale complexion and coughed violently.y only knowing after a fight.If the martial arts of this Phantom Moon were truly superior to Luo Li's, if she truly wanted to kill her, how could Luo Li possibly escape"Xier, in the future, you must b...
