Chapter 166: Junior Sister Is Here

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“When Uncle Shan sent me to you, I was afraid I wouldn’t do well so I asked around about you in the King of Xinan’s Residence. As such, I was able to guess the identity of that young lady earlier. County Princess, I apologized for investigating your matters without permission…” Song Cang explained anxiously as he lowered his head.

“I see…”

The wariness in Yu Yunxi’s gaze seemed to disappear when she heard this. She said lightly, “How can I blame you for such a small matter? If you want to know anything in the future, just ask me.”

“Yes.” Song Cang hurriedly nodded. After a while, he could not help but ask with a slight frown on his face, “County Princess, do you… hate the Prince Regent for treating you like that?”

Yu Yunxi did not expect this question from Song Cang. She was silent for a moment before she replied, “I don’t hate him.”

“Why not?” Song Cang asked with a hint of urgency. Noticing that his tone was wrong, he quickly explained, “I just feel that he’s not worthy of you so I was a

little anxious…”

“Song Cang, you must not know what it feels like to be thoroughly disappointed in someone, right? When you’re thoroughly disappointed in someone, you can’t even be bothered to hate him or her,” Yu Yunxi said self-deprecatingly as she lowered her gaze.

Song Cang’s expression stiffened slightly when he heard these words.

“The imperial court and Xinan are incompatible. He and I, the County Princess of Xinan, are destined to be enemies,” Yu Yunxi said before she walked into the house.

When the doctors saw her, they hurried over. One of them said worriedly,

“County Princess, it’s dangerous here. You should leave.”

Yu Yunxi shook her head and said seriously, “It’s fine. All of you are here. I should also do my part.”

The doctors looked at each other and could only give in. After all, they really needed Yu Yunxi’s help.

“County Princess, since last night, a few people had been vomiting non-stop. They only recovered a little this morning, but they’re no different from being half-dead. The child who was just sent over is also in such a state…”

Although Yu Yunxi was younger than them, she was steady and had extraordinary medical skills. Over the years, she had treated many complicated illnesses in Xinan. As such, they treated her as though she was their backbone. Yu Yunxi’s heart sank when she heard these words. “Where’s the child?”

“We’ll bring you there.”

The doctors quickly led the way.

Yu Yunxi found that the child was locked up in a room alone when she arrived. Due to his fear, he was crying as he was convulsing.

“His parents’ situation isn’t so severe so we didn’t dare to let them stay together,” an old doctor explained.

“Go and prepare a set of silver needles. Also, pluck the 18 herbs in the southeastern corner of the backyard and grind them all,” Yu Yunxi said

solemnly.

“Yes, County Princess!”

The doctors did not dare to waste time and quickly went to work.

After that, Yu Yunxi quickly walked over to comfort the child who was called Sun Qiuzi.

However, Song Cang was faster than her. He picked up Sun Qiuzi and placed the latter on the bed. He said patiently and reassuringly, “Don’t be afraid. We’ll save you. Your parents are in the room next door. They’re very safe…’

Yu Yunxi nodded slightly in approval when she heard these words. It seemed like she did not make a mistake when choosing Song Cang. Seeing how patient he was, she thought that he must be a good father.

Thanks to Song Cang’s comfort, Sun Qiuzi soon calmed down. He raised his head weakly and looked at Song Cang and Yu Yunxi. He asked tremblingly, “Can you really save my parents?”

Sun Qiuzi was most worried about his parents.

Seeing how sensible he was, Yu Yunxi’s heart ached even more. She walked over and patted his head as she gently said, “Yes. Not only your parents, but you and the others as well. We’ll save them.”

Sun Qiuzi finally smiled when he heard Yu Yunxi’s words. His pain seemed to lessen as well.

After the silver needles were sent over, she told Sun Qiuzi to lie down. She removed his top and began to perform acupuncture on him.

It did not take long before Sun Qiuzi’s breathing became smooth and he was no longer in pain.

When the few doctors who were standing at the door saw this, they felt that it was truly a miracle. They were racking their brains before this, but as soon as she came, she was able to solve the problem.

After Yu Yunxi tapped Sun Qiuzi’s sleeping acupoint, she removed the silver needles before she turned around and said to the doctors, “It’s not a plague; it’s a kind of poison.”

‘What?! Poison?!”

The doctors looked at each other in shock.

After Yu Yunxi told the doctors about her and Song Cang’s speculation, they were both shocked and excited.

“As long as it’s not a plague, we have hope! The people of Nanyue aren’t infected, right? It means that there’s an antidote. As long as we find the antidote, it’ll be okay!”

The doctors were benevolent. Moreover, the patients were people of Xinan just like them. They naturally did not want disaster to strike the city.

“County Princess, why did you ask us to grind the herbs and prepare them?” one of the doctors could not help but ask.

“I’m going to try to find the antidote and test it out myself,” Yu Yunxi replied. They did not have much time left, and she had to find the antidote as soon as possible.

“Keep an eye on the child. I’ll make a trip to the pharmacy.”

Shen Si had also set up a pharmacy here so it was easy for her to find the things she needed.

When Yu Yunxi brought Song Cang out, she did not expect to see Guan Ying among the patients, trying her best to show her kindness to the people. She did not take any precautions as she helped feed medicine to a little girl with an extremely bad cough.

At the same time, Guan Ying’s maidservant said arrogantly, “Take a good look. This young lady is from the King of Xinan’s Residence. She’s concerned about all of you so she came to help.”

The patients thanked Guan Ying weakly.

Yu Yunxi’s expression turned icy when she saw this. She thought Guan Ying was just saying it casually. After all, based on Guan Ying’s personality, she should return to the residence. Unexpectedly, she was serious. However, her actions were really foolish.

“Guards, seal the entrance of Ankang Hall! From today onward, until the people recover, everyone’s only allowed to enter, not leave,” Yu Yunxi ordered coldly.

Shen Si had given an order long ago that apart from him, Yu Yunxi also had full authority over Ankang Hall. Hence, when the guards heard Yu Yunx’s order, they immediately sealed the place.

Meanwhile, the expression of Guan Ying, who was still putting on an act, changed as soon as she heard Yu Yunxi’s words. She completely forgot about putting on an act as she turned around and glared at Yu Yunxi resentfully as she questioned, “Cousin, what do you mean by this?”

“I’ve already said that once you enter this place, you can’t leave easily. Since you didn’t take my words seriously, you can only blame yourself,” Yu Yunxi said indifferently.

Guan Ying was so angry that she could not maintain her expression at all. She said through gritted teeth, “You’re deliberately targeting me! My engagement to Eldest Young Master Ying is in a few days. If you don’t let me out, how can I get engaged?”

‘Engagement?’

Only then did Yu Yunxi remember that before she left for the capital, Jiang Ru had arranged a marriage for Guan Ying. The person she was engaged to was Ying Jiangyuan’s legitimate son.

It was said that Guan Ying fell in love with the Eldest Young Master of the Ying family at first sight so she hinted to Jiang Ru about her intention to marry the other party. With her status, it would have been impossible for her to marry into the Ying family if it were not for the King of Xinan’s Residence.

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was ignoring her, Guan Ying said shrilly, “Yu Yunxi! What right do you have to lock me here?”

“What right do I have? I’m the County Princess of Xinan!” Yu Yunnxi said icily. After saying that, she turned to leave.

At this moment, Guan Ying said gloomily, “In less than two days, you’ll definitely come and beg me. Hence, it won’t do you any good to treat me like this now.”

‘Beg her?’

Guan Ying’s words piqued Yu Yunxi’s curiosity. However, before she could say anything, a guard rushed over.

“County Princess, the disease has spread to the barracks. Hundreds of soldiers have already fallen sick! His Highness sent them over; they’re at the door now!”

‘What? The barracks are also affected?’

Yu Yunxi clenched her hands tightly as her heart grew heavier.

The guard continued to say, “The Young Master has also received Lord Xu, but Lord Xu also brought someone with him..

“Who is it?”

Seeing the serious expression on the other party’s face, Yu Yunxi could guess that the person who came with Xu Zhiyan was not a good person.

“It’s Young Marquis Luo,” the guard replied.

“Drive him out,” Yu Yunxi said decisively.

“H-he has already entered the city,” the guard said with an indescribable expression. After all, he had never seen such a shameless person from an aristocratic family. Then, he gulped and braced himself before he said, “He also brought another person with him. It’s said that the other person is… the Prince Regent’s junior sister..”
