give Little Li for speaking out of turn. If he stays here any longer and is discovered, your reputation will be ruined."Dugu Cheng looked up at Xiao Li, seeing the worry in her eyes, he said faintly,...Feng Lingxi, seeing the fear in Princess Qingfeng's expression, turned to Lu Nian, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can ask Lu Nian. He accompanied me to Tumuwzhen this time, and we stayed there for over a month."

Lu Nian hurriedly agreed, "That's right, I saw it with my own eyes. The person infected with the plague started with a fever, and then slowly became weak all over, coughing up blood, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. After being sick for several days, they died."

Princess Qingfeng was so frightened by Lu Nian's vivid description of the plague that she swallowed nervously.

"Don't lie to me, there's no way, I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not, just thinking about it now makes me scared. For that whole month, I doubted if I was sick myself. You didn't see those people after they got sick; they could only wait to die. Those who were tough enough managed to survive, but if you had a weak body, you were done for."

Lu Nian started to embellish with exaggeration, fearing that Princess Qingfeng might be scared to death.

"Young Master Lu, you missed a point. Even if one is young and strong, they can still die from serious illness. Just like Young Master Gao, he wasn't old or weak, yet he died within just a few days."

Xiaoli added another dose, watching as Princess Qingfeng shivered. Lu Nian feigned comfort and said, “Xiaoli, why did you say all that That’s too frightening.”

"This is all true."

After Xiaoli finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow at Feng Lingxi and said, "If you don't believe me, Your Highness can testify."

"What I say, Princess Qingfeng wouldn't believe. I've said everything I needed to. As for whether she believes it or not, that's none of my concern."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, held her teacup and took a sip, moistening her throat. Her eyes glanced at Qingfeng Princess's flustered expression in her eyes, becoming even more composed.

"You think you can scare me, Princess I'm not afraid of you."

Princess Qingfeng gritted her teeth and said, "But you're still alive and well, aren't you" Her body trembled uncontrollably as she watched Feng Lingxi's calm and composed demeanor.

"As a physician, I naturally take precautions to protect myself. This plague is something I treat, but I am not a god. Not everyone infected can be saved, so for the princess's sake, it's best to leave early."

Feng Ling said, instructing Xiao Li, "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare dinner. Have the princess eat a bit later and return earlier."

"Who said I have to eat here with you."

Qingfeng Princess gritted her teeth and spoke, looking at the servants of Chen Wangfu. They seemed to have the plague, their eyes filled with fear.

"Since the princess doesn't need to dine, I won't force her. The coarse tea and light meals of my Chenwangfu are probably not suitable for Princess Qingfeng."

When Feng Ling finished speaking, Princess Qingfeng gritted her teeth in anger. This petty ghost!

"You're really stingy."

"Indeed, after all, with no money, this feast for Princess Qingfeng would have allowed the commoners of my Linxi County to eat a satisfying meal." Feng Lingxi chuckled. "I should thank Princess Qingfeng for not eating so that I can have a few more meals."

Princess Qingfeng glared at Feng Lingxi, "You are truly the poorest princess I've ever seen."

"No way, this trip to Tumu Town cost me a lot of money. I'm poor, after all, so naturally I have to save some." Feng Lingxi said, ignoring Qingfeng Princess's displeasure, and continued, "Princess, this plague is contagious, you should be more careful yourself."

"Will... will it spread"

Princess Qingfeng was truly unsettled now. She glanced at Feng Lingxi, her whole body feeling uncomfortable, as if she were carrying a plague. She unconsciously shifted her position.

How is it transmitted

Feng Lingxi smiled and explained, "This plague is transmitted through contact, such as shaking hands, physical touch, talking, or breathing."

Princess Qingfeng hurriedly covered her mouth, stood up abruptly, and glared at Feng Lingxi with suspicion, shouting, “Why didn’t you say so earlier”

"Didn't you say anything, Princess"

"You..."

Princess Qingfeng looked at Feng Lingxi's innocent eyes, she was about to cry. Her eyes were red and swollen, both angry and anxious. She looked at Lu Nian beside her and pointed at him, "Why didn't you say it sooner"

Lu Nian was even more innocent.

"Princess, didn't I tell you"

Princess Qingfeng stamped her feet in a hurry, “You didn't say, you didn't say.”

"I told you when you were coming that I and my sister are healing the sick in Tu Mu town, we have no time for you."

"But you didn't say it was a plague, nor that it was contagious."

Princess Qingfeng was so anxious she could stomp her feet. If she had known that the plague would be contagious, she wouldn't have come.

Feng Lingxi looked at Princess Qingfeng's frightened eyes, she was about to cry. It was really quite adorable.

"We are not sick, or we wouldn't be here talking to you unharmed. However, the towns around here are truly dangerous. Princess Qingfeng should not go sightseeing and return to your country as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Feng Lingxi's words, Princess Qingfeng suddenly didn't think she was so bad.

"That, if this princess fell ill, would you cure this princess"

Princess Qingfeng stared at Feng Lingxi, her cautious demeanor caused a smile to widen on Feng Lingxi's lips. "Of course I will," she said, "but without absolute certainty, Princess, you should know that there are no absolutes in this world, including myself."

"Princess, we should go back. This place is dangerous."

The elderly eunuch behind Princess Qingfeng stepped forward and whispered, his eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi, "It's not worth putting yourself in danger for her."

“The old man is right. Princess Qingfeng's status is noble, and if she were to contract the plague here, wouldn't it endanger the people of Xigu Kingdom and those around you”

Feng Lingxi was indeed not scaring Princess Qingfeng. There were indeed people who came out of Tumuwzhen before, and coupled with the plague that appeared in the Xia Dynasty, Feng Yuxi coming out of the Xia Dynasty didn't rule out the possibility that surrounding towns also had the plague.

This Princess Qingfeng, she had no intention of playing games with her and sent her back. Although the methods were a bit harsh, it was ultimately for her own good.

This ancient Western country is a powerful nation. Their current situation does not necessitate conflict with the Western Kingdom, and furthermore, when Lady Lu left, she bestowed upon her a jade pendant – a talisman for survival. Regardless of which side they are on, they should send this princess to safety.

"Are you really telling the truth You're not lying to me, are you"

Princess Qingfeng bit her lip, appearing somewhat unwilling. However, her tone was noticeably softer than before, and the panic in her eyes was undeniable. After all, she was just a girl of sixteen or seventeen, spoiled by excessive love.

"How can you speak such nonsense Princess Qingfeng could very well send someone to investigate and determine if what I say is true or false."

Facing Feng Ling Xi's earnest expression, Princess Qingfeng gritted her teeth, "Fine, this princess will temporarily believe you once. I'll go back and investigate now. If you deceive me, don't blame me for being unkind."

"Please, go ahead, Princess."

Feng Lingxi's words fell, and Princess Qingfeng swept her sleeves and left.s what you said is correct, your friend, the divine doctor, seems to like me very much.""I really like you. It's rare to meet a woman like you, you're interesting."Li Wuyan coldly swept his eyes over,...
