No one wanted to die in this world. Even though the people who were infected with the plague had already accepted their fates, they still cherished the chance to live.
After the woman finished her tour, everyone gathered in the plaza.
Jiujiu stood in the open space and looked at the sickly and emaciated people. She sighed and said, "I know you all want to get better as soon as possible, but you have to prioritize things. Some of you have been sick for a long time, and some of you just came in."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she took out a bottle from her pocket, "This bottle contains the antidote. However, there is a limited amount, so I can only give it to those who are seriously ill. Those who are not seriously ill will have to wait a few days. Is that okay?"
There was no lack of selfish people who were afraid of dying. When they heard that Jiujiu wouldn't give them the antidote, they immediately became unhappy, "You make it sound so easy. You're not the one who's going to die."
Seeing the person who spoke, Jiujiu sneered, "I'm not the one who's going to die, but you're not the one who's going to die either. Looking at your complexion, it seems like you've only been here for three days. As far as I know, it takes about a month for the illness to flare up. You've only been here for three days. What are you yelling about? "
That person had only been here for three days. He wanted to pretend that he had been sick for a long time so that Jiujiu would give him the antidote first. Now that Jiujiu pointed it out, his face instantly turned red. He could only sit down and remain silent.
Originally, most people didn't believe Jiujiu, but now that Jiujiu pointed out that the person had only been sick for three days, everyone instantly admired Jiujiu.
When Jiujiu came, she prepared over two hundred bottles of antidote. She first walked around the plaza to check on everyone's conditions. After she had Steamed Bun organize everyone's conditions, she first gave the antidote to those who couldn't wait any longer. She left those who could still wait a few more days.
After seeing that Jiujiu was indeed giving priority to those who were seriously ill when she distributed the medicine, those who were a little doubtful no longer had any doubts.
After the medicine was distributed, Jiujiu asked those who had taken the medicine to take care of those who had not. She went out to continue making medicine with the imperial physicians.
Although the people who had taken the medicine were very weak before, after taking the medicine, they felt that their bodies had become much lighter. If it wasn't for Jiujiu, they would have died in a few days like those people before them. Therefore, they were especially obedient to Jiujiu's orders.
Although Jiujiu had gone in and was likely to be infected, the imperial physician did not panic at all and continued to follow Jiujiu.
After Jiujiu went back, she looked at the imperial physicians and said: "I already know what disease they have. I also have the antidote. The medicinal ingredients are with the sixth prince. I will have to trouble you all to work with me for the next few days."
If Jiujiu made the antidote by herself, she would be busy for many days without being able to make that many pills. However, with the help of these imperial physicians, she would be able to make the antidote very quickly.
Every day, Jiujiu would send in the pills that she had made that day for those who were more seriously ill to take.
For more than half a month, everyone inside had taken Jiujiu's pills. Naturally, the plague was cured.
Jiujiu even gave the prescription of the pills that she had modified to the imperial physicians.
Jiujiu's prescription was very simple. After removing a few expensive medicinal ingredients that did not affect the effect, it was very cheap. Ordinary people could afford it. The imperial physicians directly recorded Jiujiu's prescription in a medical book for future generations to study.
Jiujiu was in charge of curing the plague and the sixth prince was in charge of calming the people. The good news from the quarantine area was very encouraging.
When the sixth prince announced that the situation in the Southern City was resolved and the city gates were opened, the people in the Southern City cried.
They did not cry like this during the plague. They also did not cry like this when they were abandoned by everyone. However, when the sixth prince led everyone away, they cried.
Not only because the Sixth Prince came to save them, but also because the Sixth Prince, as a noble prince, risked his life to save their lives.
In this era where the monarchy was supreme, this was very rare.
The crowd almost cried as they sent the sixth prince away.
Moreover, because the Sixth Prince dared to risk his life to save the people of South City and saved them, the Sixth Prince, who was originally unknown, suddenly had an unprecedentedly high reputation among the people. It even surpassed the Third Prince and the Crown Prince.
When they found out that not only did the sixth prince not die in the Southern City, but he also saved all the people in the Southern City, the third prince and the crown prince's faces turned extremely ugly.
The situation in the Southern City was originally a hopeless situation. The best outcome would be for all the people in the Southern City to die and then resettle them.
But now, not only did the sixth prince save the Southern City, he also won a lot of reputation because of this matter. In the past, his name could not be heard in the imperial court, but now, it was constantly being mentioned. Many old and stubborn ministers were constantly praising the sixth prince. What shocked the third prince the most was that the Emperor was not at all displeased by everyone's praise of the sixth prince.
Although the antidote prescription was given by Jiujiu, Jiujiu kept a close eye on the imperial physicians. Her identity was special and she could not appear in front of everyone. Therefore, all the imperial physicians unanimously said that they would keep their mouths shut.
Jiujiu's discovery of the antidote became the topic of the imperial physicians working tirelessly to develop the antidote.
After returning to the capital, Jiujiu immediately returned to the Marquis's Mansion to visit Lin Zeyu. The sixth prince went to the palace to express his gratitude.
Looking at the sixth prince standing in front of him, the Emperor's emotions were particularly complicated.
First, it was because the sixth prince was too obscure before. Second, it was because the sixth prince had completed the matter too beautifully.
The sixth prince had perfectly solved the matter in the Southern City. Not only had his reputation soared among the people, but even the Emperor's reputation had soared among the people.
Moreover, the sixth prince had accepted this task because the Empress had come to his place to make a fuss. The sixth prince was afraid that it would be difficult for him, so he took the initiative to accept this task.
Now, the sixth prince had completed the task exceptionally beautifully and made him famous. This made the Emperor think of the selfish and narrow-minded third prince who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
What people were most afraid of was comparison.
The sixth prince had been neglected by him and even bullied by the servants. But once he recovered, he still thought of his father. He did not even care about his own life. Now that he had returned to the capital, he immediately came to pay his respects to the Emperor. This kind of filial piety was really unique.
On the other hand, the third prince and the crown prince, one was spoiled by the Emperor, the other was always scheming for the position under him.
