Chapter 1332: Smoke Rises

nodded, "I followed her out. She was very careful. If I hadn't hidden well, I'm afraid she would have found me."The Empress Dowager's eyes were full of worry, "This is exactly what I was worried abou...Little Li watched as the King and Queen reconciled, quietly exiting the room to allow them more time together.

The carriages outside the mansion were already prepared, all the medicinal herbs had been loaded onto the carts, and everything else needed was ready. Lu Nian carefully checked several times, making sure everything was in order before he felt at ease.

This time, Feng Lingxi also brought some doctors from the county hospital to help. There were about ten people who went there, all trustworthy individuals. Traveling together like this would be a great help to Feng Lingxi.

Dugu Cheng sent Feng Lingxi to the door, watching her simple attire, his eyes full of worry and reluctance.

Be extremely careful.

“I know, you've told me that many times.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er who came out with Tian Xiaomǐ, crouched down, and saw the displeasure on Wan'er's face. She reached out and hugged her, "Wan'er, when Mother comes back, you have to listen to your aunt obediently."

"You're lying, last night you said you were going to sleep with me, but when I woke up, I was all alone."

Feng Lingxi, hearing this, embraced her with a heart full of sadness.

Last night, my mother couldn't sleep. She went to the apothecary to look at medical books. It takes some time to go there and back. My mother hopes she can be cured soon and come back early. Wan'er, if you are bored, you can go to the apothecary and take a look at the books.

"When will Mother be back"

Feng Lingxi released Wan'er, his eyes filled with seriousness.

"When Wan'er finishes reading the medical books, mother will be back."

"Hook it."

Wan'er didn't mind at all. Looking into Feng Lingxi's eyes, she was full of determination. Feng Lingxi reached out and clasped hands, sealing the deal with a handshake.

"Mother, Wan'er will finish reading your medical book very soon."

"Your mother will also be back soon."

Feng Lingxi kissed on Wan'er's forehead, stood up, "Wan'er, mother has to leave now. You have to listen to father and wait for mother to come back."

Waner nodded, watching her mother get into the carriage. Her eyes were full of reluctance, but she didn't cry.

"Xiao Mi, I entrust Wan'er to you."

Feng Lingxi waved goodbye to them, watching the reluctance in Dugu City's eyes. The large group departed.

"Ye Xi, order your people to keep an eye on everything happening in Tumu Town. Report any news immediately. Also, send someone to watch the people sent by the imperial court. Make sure no one disrupts their mission."

This time, when Xi'er goes to Tumuzhen, whoever dares to play tricks in the middle, don't blame him for turning his face and being ruthless.

"Yes."

Ye Xi watched the queen's carriage disappear into the distance, feeling the same sense of reluctance.

Feng Lingxi went to Tumu Town to treat the plague. As soon as she left the city, Luo Li learned the news. Upon learning that Dugu City hadn't gone, he was very surprised. The inseparable couple had actually separated this time.

"This sweltering summer morning, Feng Lingxi wasn't this nervous. She was actually anxious enough to buy medicinal herbs and go to aid Tu Mu town. A-Yan, do you think Feng Lingxi has really severed ties with Huangfu Qingyun"

Li Wuyan sat opposite Luo Li, the wine in his hand suddenly losing its appeal.

"Even though Huangfu Qingyun was her fiancé, whom her mother had chosen for her, and they were now divorced, he had helped her a lot before. But Feng Lingxi was so heartless that she ignored him completely. How could she be so ungrateful"

With a crash, Li Wuyan's wine glass fell to the table. He raised his eyes to look at Luoli.

"The plan for the summer morning failed, so bring Mo Bing back."

Luo Li raised an eyebrow, looking at Li Wu Yan's attitude, she couldn't help but smile.

"Ayuan, you seem angry. You should know that Feng Lingxi is a person who repays kindness. Didn't she follow us to Tumu Town just now as an example I think we can wait and see. We can let the plague in Ahxiao get worse..."

Enough!

Li Wuyan slammed his fist on the table, anger flashing in his eyes. He glared at Luo Li, whose smile seemed both mocking and amused, forcing down the turmoil within him.

"Feng Lingxi, since she chose to live in Tumowo Town, it means she has given up on Emperor Qingyun. Our plan doesn't need to push her into such a desperate situation. Besides, those innocent civilians shouldn't suffer like this."

Li Wu-yan clenched his fists, he really shouldn't have done this. The spread of the plague had caused suffering to the common people. Mo Bing was as ruthless as a snake and scorpion, she would definitely make the Aohua Dynasty pay a heavy price, and the common people were the most innocent.

"All of this is your doing, besides, the plague was brought on by you, Ah Yan. A great person doesn't get hung up on small details, that's what you said yourself."

Luo Li's eyes held a hint of mischievous and wild laughter, a bloodthirsty glint that felt alien.

Li Wuyan knew Luo Li was helping him, but the price was too great. Even if he wanted to reclaim everything that belonged to him, he didn't want to use the bodies of innocent people as a price. He didn't want his hands stained with the blood of the commoners.

"But Feng Lingxi chose Tumuzhen, so, give up."

Li Wuyan stood up, and Luo Li called out to him, "Where are you going Are you going to Tu Mu Town to help Feng Lingxi Have you thought about it, if Feng Lingxi knew your identity, would she still accept your help"

"Dugu City wouldn't say it."

Li Wuyan finished speaking and left, leaving Luoli alone sitting there, sipping wine from her cup one by one. The fire in her eyes flared up, then cooled again, filled with a suppressed hatred.

Feng Aotian arrived at Tumu Town a day before Feng Lingxi. Learning that Feng Lingxi had already set off, he arranged the treatment and quarantine areas according to their prior agreement. Lord Liu also knew Feng Lingxi's habits and, following the previous treatment methods, had all the tents properly prepared.

Feng Lingxi's team arrived at Tumuzhen in the evening. After the capital city, she saw that only Liu DaRen and Feng Aotien, along with a small group of soldiers, were waiting for them on the deserted streets. Feng Lingxi was quite pleased. At least she had done a good job isolating him as she had discussed with Liu DaRen before.

"Lower official Liu Cheng welcomes Princess Chen."

Feng Lingxi alighted from the carriage and glanced at the surroundings. "Lord Liu, no need for formalities. First, place these herbs properly, and tell me about the epidemic situation. Bring me the recorded cases."

"The subordinate official has everything prepared. Please proceed to the county office for a meal, Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the people behind her, “Once you’ve processed the medicinal herbs, go to rest. We’ll visit the patients again tomorrow.”

Lu Nian and Xiao Li followed Feng Lingxi, watching her interact familiarly with the county official. This person probably wouldn't do anything to their sister.

"This is Lu Nian. All the medicinal herbs this time were donated by him. Lord Liu, he came with me. You can arrange his accommodation next to mine." Feng Lingxi introduced, without revealing Lu Nian's true relationship with her. Lord Liu hurriedly smiled and thanked Lu Nian, inviting them in.

Because it was already late when they arrived in Tumuzhen today, and Feng Lingxi needed to learn about the plague situation, they did not immediately go to the slums to check on the plague patients to avoid infection. This plague is contagious, unlike previous illnesses.

"Your Majesty, over 1,800 people have been infected with the plague. At first, they had a low fever and cough. Later, it worsened to coughing up blood, pale complexion, and weakness all over. The situation is very dire."too much attention, and besides, with the Xia Dynasty's current influence, the Great Yuan Dynasty wouldn't dare say anything.""They wouldn't dare say anything. This is their territory. Now, with the c...
