The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day Chapter 1059 - 650: Reunion with an Old Friend (Part 1)

The soldiers of Changn County ultimately agreed to An Ning’s request and allowed them into the city.

As An Ning and her group entered the city gates, they heard the sound of hooves behind them.

She turned to look back.

She saw a grand entourage arriving at the gate of Changn County, and it was clearly Feng Xiyun.

All the soldiers at the city gates knelt to greet them.

Xiao Wu, riding at the front on a fine horse, spotted two figures entering the gate and shouted sternly, "Why are people still being allowed in? Didn’t I say no more people should pass? How exactly are you managing this?!"

The governor, having also noticed, hastily questioned the gate guards, "What’s going on?!"

The soldiers, trembling in fear, answered apprehensively, "They are two wandering physicians. They said they wanted to go in to treat the townsfolk, so I let them in!"

"What use are these wandering quacks?! Don’t you know that Doctor Feng is coming?" the governor reprimanded.

"It was my mistake. I’ll go get them back!" the soldier imdiately responded in fright.

"No need." From inside the carriage, Feng Xiyun drew back the curtain and said in a gentle voice, "It’s admirable for the physicians to risk their lives to help the people, regardless of their dical skills. Moreover, since they’ve already entered, bringing them back now could pose a bigger problem if they’ve been infected. Best to let them be."

"Yes, yes, Doctor Feng thinks of everything," the governor replied with utmost respect, turning to chastise the soldier, "Do not let this happen again."

"I dare not do so again," the soldier quaked in fear.

Feng Xiyun looked up at the city gates of Changn County and, supported by her maid, alighted from the carriage.

Xiao Wu and the governor dismounted their horses as well.

Feng Xiyun addressed Xiao Wu, "Lord Wu, the plague is severe within Changn County, so it’s best if fewer people enter."

"I’ll take two trusted guards to accompany Doctor Feng inside."

"Very well." Feng Xiyun nodded, "Lord Governor, you need go no further."

The governor suddenly knelt to the ground.

"Lord Governor..."

"With the plague outbreak in Changn County, we are deeply grateful for Doctor Feng’s tily assistance," the governor expressed with sincere emotion, "On behalf of all the people of Changn County, thank you, Doctor Feng. When you and Lord Wu enter, the County Magistrate will greet you both, and you can direct him to handle whatever needs attending."

"Very well. Please rise, Lord Governor," Feng Xiyun quickly responded.

Rising, the governor solemnly said, "We bid farewell to Doctor Feng and Lord Wu."

Feng Xiyun and Xiao Wu exchanged slight nods.

Feng Xiyun returned to the carriage.

Xiao Wu, along with two guards, entered the city gates of Changn County.

Inside the streets, aside from patrolling soldiers, there were no passersby.

Everyone had been ordered to stay indoors.

The entire Changn County appeared to be ticulously organized.

Feng Xiyun pulled back the curtain and spoke to Xiao Wu, "I didn’t expect Changn County to execute the Emperor’s orders so thoroughly."

"As soon as the plague began in Changn County, it was reported to the court. The Emperor imdiately ordered the Military Governor Pang Nan from Yuzhou City to manage the situation. Master Pang and the Emperor previously handled a larger plague outbreak in Yuzhou City together. It seems that due to Master Pang’s experience, this has been managed so effectively."

Feng Xiyun nodded and inquired, "How was the plague in Yuzhou City controlled last ti?"

"Last ti..." Xiao Wu pressed his lips together, "Last ti, it was because of the Empress’s dical skills that the plague was completely controlled."

"Is that so?" Feng Xiyun smiled faintly, showing no visible emotion. "It’s a pity the Empress isn’t here this ti. If only she were..."

"Imperial Physician Feng’s dical skills are also recognized by the Emperor. I believe Imperial Physician Feng will quickly find a way to treat this plague and save the people of Changn County," Xiao Wu complinted.

"I will do my utmost," Feng Xiyun encouraged herself.

"Indeed." Xiao Wu nodded in agreent.

The group followed the leading soldiers to a large residence.

A few people were already waiting at the entrance.

Seeing their arrival, they hurriedly ca forward to greet them.

Xiao Wu dismounted his horse.

Feng Xiyun stepped down from the carriage as well.

"Lord Wu." Pang Nan looked at Xiao Wu, appearing quite excited, "It’s been a long ti."

Xiao Wu naturally noticed Pang Nan and warmly responded, "Master Pang, it’s been a long ti; it’s been six or seven years since we parted in Yuzhou."

"Indeed, indeed," Pang Nan quickly responded, turning his gaze to Feng Xiyun, "And this must be Doctor Feng?"

Feng Xiyun smiled gently and bowed, "Master Pang."

"Please, Doctor Feng, do co in." Pang Nan invited them inside.

They all entered the residence.

They sat in the main hall.

Reminiscing was naturally not the priority; Pang Nan promptly began discussing the current situation, "This plague has been ongoing in Changn County for a month. So far, 528 villagers have been confird infected, with 36 deaths. Following the Yuzhou plague control thods from before, I have separated the patients by severity for isolation. The non-symptomatic residents are ordered to stay at ho, and I send soldiers to check daily for any new cases. There have been no new cases for three consecutive days."

"However, the condition of those infected is worsening. At the initial outbreak, we called physicians from all over. Currently, there are 52 physicians in Changn County; 28 of them are infected and isolated, and the remaining 24 are diligently working on dication but haven’t succeeded yet."

Xiao Wu and Feng Xiyun listened silently.

Feng Xiyun asked, "Where is the isolation area for patients?"

"To provide better accommodations for the patients, I hastily prepared three simple houses for them upon arrival. They are situated outside the city, on an open space next to Linghe Temple," Pang Nan replied.

"I’d like to go and have a look," Feng Xiyun said.

Pang Nan was sowhat hesitant, expressing concern, "This plague is highly contagious. I’m worried about Doctor Feng being infected, especially since over half of the physicians have already contracted it. Once infected, symptoms like fever and drowsiness arise. If Doctor Feng were to beco ill, it would hinder treatnt efforts."

"But without seeing the patients, it’s difficult for to prescribe the right dicine," Feng Xiyun stated bluntly.

Xiao Wu pondered for a mont, "How about eting with so physicians first to gather information that might help you? I agree with Master Pang’s view; given the plague’s contagious nature, Doctor Feng should prioritize your health. If you get infected, the illness can’t be cured."

Seeing their concern, Feng Xiyun didn’t insist, "Alright, then let et the physicians first to inquire about the situation."

"The uninfected physicians are staying at Linghe Temple," Pang Nan noted, "I’ll take you there now."

"Thank you, Master Pang," Feng Xiyun replied politely.
