The State Preceptor saw Ye Zhen's solemn expression, frowning and silent. He thought that she didn't know how to cure the disease at all. A touch of pride flashed in his eyes. "This is the punishment of the gods to Baoxiang Kingdom. Only by using the child sent by the gods as a sacrifice and executing Aphro can our kingdom be saved."
Ye Yiqing glanced at the state preceptor and walked towards Ye Zhen, fearing that these people would be incited by the state preceptor to hurt her.
"Don't come over!" Ye Zhen shouted at Ye Yiqing, "Everyone back off, this disease is contagious!"
Chi Man looked at Ye Zhen doubtfully, "Miss, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Zhen took out a silk handkerchief and tied it to her face as she explained, "This is a disease similar to typhoid. It's not as dangerous as typhoid, but it can be transmitted through saliva. If I'm not mistaken, the first to fall ill was your king's close attendants. They then spread the disease to the common people. If it is not stopped in time, then the whole kingdom of Baoxiang will be infected.
The young woman understood Ye Zhen's words and told them to the people around her.
The people were so frightened that they knelt down and said something to the sky and the state preceptor. It seemed that they were praying for help.
The state preceptor snorted coldly, "After saying so much, can you cure them?"
"There are conditions for me to cure them," Ye Zhen said faintly. She glanced at the state preceptor, "Is the state preceptor himself infected?"
"I am a disciple of the gods, I will not get sick!" The state preceptor cried angrily.
Ye Zhen smiled and turned to Chi Man, "Do you have any herbs on your island?"
"What medicine do you need?" Chi Man asked. His face lit up when he heard that Ye Zhen could cure the disease.
"Herba Huaxiang, Platycodon, Forsythia, Pericarpium …" Ye Zhen read the names of several medicinal herbs. Seeing Chi Man's face become more and more serious, she knew that there was not only no medical knowledge on this island, but also very little medicine.
The state preceptor sneered, "These are things that our kingdom does not have. How can we save them? This is the punishment of the gods!"
Ye Zhen glared at him, "What you don't have doesn't mean that I don't. As I said, if you want to cure your disease, you have to talk about the conditions first!"
"What do you want?" Chi Man whispered.
"My herbs are all on the ship. I will stay here and let my father take the child back first, and then deliver the medicine on our ship. I will leave only when your illness is cured." Ye Zhen said indifferently. "As I said, I was sent by the Heavenly Concubine to save you. You abandoned the Heavenly Concubine because you believed in the State Preceptor, but the Heavenly Concubine is still silently protecting you."
Exasperated, the Imperial Master shouted, "Ridiculous! Nonsense! "
"When I cure your illness, you will not only let us go, but also give us food and water. Of course, in exchange, I can give you the seeds of medicinal herbs, so that you can have medicinal herbs to cure diseases in the future." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Anyway, she had a lot of medicine in her space, and a lot of seeds.
"Alright!" Chi Man felt that there was no reason to reject such an offer. The most important thing now was to cure the king's illness.
"Chi Man, you will anger the High God. The High God will not let you off!" The Imperial Preceptor shouted in anger.
Chi Man said coldly, "Then punish me!"
Ye Zhen turned to Ye Yiqing and said, "Father, you take the child back first. Bring all the medicine boxes in my room."
"Yao Yao …" Zhao Yang wanted to come over. How could she leave Yao Yao here alone? "I will stay with you."
"Don't approach me!" Ye Zhen hurriedly said, "Zhao Yang, Ming Yu and Ming Xi still need your care. The infection is too severe. After you go back, take a bath first and then burn all your clothes. Don't come here for a few days."
Ye Yiqing knew what Ye Zhen meant. "Don't worry, the child will be taken care of. I will send them back and bring the medicine."
"Good!" Ye Zhen smiled. Only her father knew her secret. It was not difficult for her to cure the disease here.
"No, this child can't go!" The State Preceptor immediately cried, "What if you can't cure the King's illness?"
Ye Zhen just looked at Chi Man coldly and did not say a word.
Chi Man ordered, "Let them go. They are not our people. We can't force them to stay. Besides, if the Heavenly Concubine really has a spirit, she will definitely save us."
When the common people heard Chi Man's words, they all made way. They could not believe Chi Man's words, but the Heavenly Concubine … she was the patron saint of their country. She would certainly not agree with the Heavenly Concubine's punishment.
"No!" The State Preceptor shouted. He didn't wish for anyone to cure the King at all. There was only the final moment left. As long as the King died, he would be able to follow the will of the heavens and become the new king of Bao Xiang Kingdom. At that time, he would naturally think of a way to cure the illnesses of these people. As long as he sent all the sick people out to sea, everything would be fine.
He thought he could use their children to arouse public anger. Who knew it would turn out like this! If he had known, he would have let them go!
"State Preceptor, don't you want to cure the King's illness?" Chi Man asked coldly. "Or do you think killing those babies can cure the disease? If there is another way, why not try it? Do you have to kill people as sacrifices to get what you want?"
"You …" The State Preceptor glared at Chi Man. "I'm doing this for the King!"
Chi Man said lightly, "The King said that innocent babies can't be killed. Since this girl was sent by the Heavenly Concubine, we would rather believe that this is the guidance of the Heavenly Concubine."
"I believe in the Heavenly Concubine!" The young woman followed.
"Heavenly Concubine!"
"Heavenly Concubine …"
Everyone shouted at Ye Zhen. They actually regarded her as the Heavenly Concubine!
This was something Ye Zhen did not expect at all!
Ye Yiqing looked back at Ye Zhen, leaving Ye Chundong and Hong Ying behind, and then left with Zhao Yang and the others.
The State Preceptor's face turned green and white with anger. He snorted coldly and left with his people. Before leaving, he said viciously, "Chi Man, you will let the Baoxiang Kingdom get retribution!"
Everyone quieted down with a look of fear on their faces.
"Miss, may I know your surname?" Chi Man looked at Ye Zhen and asked.
"My surname is Ye. Don't worry, since I know that the people here have this disease, I will definitely not leave." Ye Zhen said in a low voice. "However, you have to listen to my arrangements. Otherwise, even if I have great ability, I can't cure them."
Chi Man nodded. "Speak."
"Since this disease is contagious, in order not to infect more people, we need to find a place to put all the sick people together first. You also need to find some people to help me register how many people are sick." Ye Zhen said.
"I will arrange these, but … please go to the palace to treat our King first." Chi Man said.
Ye Zhen nodded. "Okay."
