Chapter 512: The Epidemic Improves
"Your Highness, forgive I'm late." Xue Lin rushed into the village. Seeing Ye Zhen brewing the dicine, he felt guilty. If only he had rushed back earlier, who would have dared to wrong the princess? “Your Highness, you've been wronged."
Ye Zhen was very happy to see Xue Lin. “You're back? How's the investigation?"
She had discovered that there was sothing wrong with the dicinal herbs that Xu Ji had sent to the store, so she asked Xue Lin to investigate where this batch of herbs ca from. If she could find the source, she believed that the whereabouts of the missing herbs would be revealed.
Xue Lin couldn't help but laugh. “Your Highness, you're still concerned about the dicinal herbs."
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. “Other than treating these patients, I'm really most concerned about the dicinal herbs."
"Your Highness, those dicinal herbs were delivered directly from the governor-general's mansion.” Xue Lin lowered his voice and said, “I went down to investigate. There are still many dicinal herbs in his mansion's treasury. Soone must have deliberately included that sack in the dical bureau store to call our attention to it."
"Governor-general's mansion?" Ye Zhen revealed a aningful smile. “This Governor-general Zhang seems quite interesting."
“Your Highness, as long as we continue to investigate Governor-general Zhang, we might be able to find who bought those dicinal herbs," Xue Lin asked.
Ye Zhen wanted to ask Xue Lin to investigate but then thought of sothing. The light in her eyes dimd. “Since it's related to Governor-general Zhang, it would not be suitable for us to continue the investigation. Relay your findings to the emperor and have him send soone to investigate the truth."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xue Lin looked at Ye Zhen skeptically. Why do I feel that the princess now seems to care about this matter a little differently?
"Since you've already entered the village, then help us feed the patients," Ye Zhen said taking a bowl of dicinal soup from the side. “Drink this first, then put on the mask."
Xue Lin imdiately followed suit. “Yes, Your Highness."
Huangfu Chen’s fever had just cald down, so Ye Zhen didn't want him to overwork. With Xue Lin's help things would be just fine, so she went over to take the bowl of soup in Huangfu Chen's hand. “Master, get so rest!"
"Okay." Huangfu Chen looked at her with a gentle smile. “Most of the fever has subsided. I should be fine after drinking the dicine for another couple of days."
The recuperating villagers looked at them with tears in their eyes. “You are the reincarnated parents of everyone in our village. If it weren't for you, we would have died long ago…"
"That's right, you're really saving the world…"
Ye Zhen saw that they were about to struggle and kowtow, so she hurriedly stopped them. “We know how grateful you are. We are doctors, and doctors only exist for the sake of treating illnesses. Don't say anything. Rest well and drink the dicine."
"We will never forget your kindness," an old man proclaid loudly.
Huangfu Chen stood on the side, smiling at his little apprentice who was feeding the dicine. In the past, he did not think Yaoyaao liked to be a doctor. Being a real doctor was different from being a doctor in the palace. Now as he looked at her, he knew that he had been wrong. She understood the spirit of being a doctor better than the other doctors.
After making sure that everyone had had the dicine, Ye Zhen put away the bowl of dicine and had Dai i sterilize it with boiling water.
"Master, why are you still outside? Quickly go to the room and rest," When she turned around and found Huangfu Chen still standing outside, she grumbled helplessly.
Huangfu Chen smiled and said, “You really think that I'm soone who can be blown away."
"Haven't you just recovered? It's always good to be careful." Ye Zhen smiled playfully.
Huangfu Chen looked at her bright smile. The sadness that had settled in her eyes not too long ago, seed to have disappeared. For so reason, he felt that this little apprentice of his was even more heartbreaking. She hid her thoughts so deeply that people thought she couldn't care less.
"Yaoyao!" Tang Zhen had been looking around the village for a while before he finally saw the person he was looking for. He hurriedly ran over and also found Huangfu Chen there. He cupped his hands and bowed. “Mr. Huangfu."
Ye Zhen looked at him in surprise. “Big Brother Tang, why are you here?"
Tang Zhen looked at her helplessly and angrily. “You secretly ran to Huaijiang. Old Madam Lu and Lord Lu are worried sick."
"Aren’t I fine?" Ye Zhen recalled that she had co to Huaijiang without the knowledge of the Lu family. She would be scolded upon return.
"The emperor asked to bring you back to the capital," Tang Zhen whispered.
The smile on Ye Zhen's face faded. “When it's ti for to return, I will naturally go back."
Huangfu Chen looked at Ye Zhen with pity. “You talk to the Marquis of Jing Ning. I'll go and rest first."
Ye Zhen nodded lightly. She glanced at Tang Zhen and walked to the side. Tang Zhen followed her. “Yaoyao, you've been away from the capital for a long ti. If you don't go back, Old Madam Lu will be very worried about you."
"I still don't want to go back to the capital," Ye Zhen said calmly. “I'll get soone to send a letter back to tell Grandmother that she doesn't have to worry about ."
"The emperor is also very worried about you." Tang Zhen's eyes flashed with sadness.
Ye Zhen said coldly, “I don't need to worry about him. Big Brother Tang, go back. I have Master here. Hasn't the emperor kept Xue Lin by my side?"
Tang Zhen walked two steps faster and blocked her way. He frowned at the little girl’s cold face. “Yaoyao, did sothing happen?"
He rembered what she and the emperor looked like in the villa… they seed to have mutual feelings for each other and so in harmony. But why does it seem like she seems to have so misunderstanding with the emperor today?
"No." Ye Zhen smiled. “It's just that it's hard for the emperor to rember at this ti. With a beauty by his side, he would not have ti to think of his younger sister.”
Tang Zhen was stunned. “You know… about Ye Yaoyao?"
"Ye Yaoyao?" Ye Zhen almost burst out laughing when she heard this na. Now, she was even more certain that this woman had sothing to do with Lu Lingzhi. “Big Brother Tang, was this Ye Yaoyao found by my eldest brother?"
"How did you know that the emperor brought Ye Yaoyao to the palace?" Tang Zhen asked in surprise. He had gone to look for Lu Lingzhi when he left the capital. He had known about the existence of this woman beforehand, so he was not that surprised to hear about this on the way.
Ye Zhen smiled. “If soone wants to know, soone will naturally tell ."
Tang Zhen said, “When I left the capital, Ye Yaoyao wasn't in the palace. I heard from your eldest brother…" Tang Zhen told Ye Zhen about that day he went to look for Lu Lingzhi. Lu Lingzhi had told him that Eldest Master Lu had placed the emperor's savior under house arrest. “This is how it was. The emperor is only just grateful that he was saved by Ye Yaoyao. I heard that she lost her mory and can't rember anything."
"Saviour!" Ye Zhen chuckled softly, a trace of ridicule in her eyes. "No matter how many saviors the emperor has, it doesn't have anything to do with . Brother Tang, thanks for coming to look for . I'm really fine."
"Yaoyao—"
Ye Zhen waved her hand. “I don't want to talk about this anymore."
She didn't want to hear anything about Mo Rongzhan.
