After Lin Yue and Li Yi successfully exposed Zhao Hong's conspiracy and returned to the prince's mansion, they were warmly welcomed by everyone. The entire prince's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers to celebrate their return. Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Yue and Li Yi walked into the prince's mansion with happy smiles on their faces.
"Miss Lin, you're finally back. Everyone in the prince's mansion has been looking forward to your return."
Steward Wang Fu said excitedly.
Lin Yue smiled slightly.
"Steward Wang, you've worked so hard during this period."
Li Yi looked at the familiar prince's mansion and felt a flood of emotions in his heart.
"We owe our safe return this time to everyone's help."
After returning to the prince's mansion, Lin Yue and Li Yi began to live a peaceful and happy life. Lin Yue continued to delve into modern medicine. She opened a medical clinic in the prince's mansion and treated the common people for free. Her medical skills and kindness won the love and respect of the people. Many people came to seek medical treatment every day, attracted by her reputation.
Li Yi devoted more attention to managing the affairs of the prince's mansion. He implemented a series of reform measures, improving the living conditions of the servants in the prince's mansion. At the same time, he strengthened his connections with the upright ministers in the court and jointly offered suggestions for the prosperity and development of the country. With his efforts, the status of the prince's mansion in the court gradually stabilized, and its influence became greater and greater.
However, the peaceful life didn't last long. One day, while Lin Yue was busy in the medical clinic, she suddenly received a mysterious letter asking for help. The letter said that in a village on the outskirts of the capital, a strange epidemic had broken out. Many villagers had been infected, and their conditions were very serious. The local doctors were at a loss and hoped that Lin Yue could go and treat them.
Lin Yue looked at the letter, feeling very worried. She immediately told Li Yi about it. After hearing this, Li Yi frowned.
"Miss Lin, this epidemic is very strange. I'm worried that it's a trap."
Lin Yue nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, I'm also worried about that. But the lives of the villagers are in danger, and I can't just stand by and watch them die."
Li Yi looked at Lin Yue's determined eyes and understood her thoughts. He took Lin Yue's hand.
"Miss Lin, since you've decided, I'll go with you. However, we need to make full preparations just in case."
Lin Yue looked at Li Yi gratefully.
"Your Highness, thank you."
So, Lin Yue and Li Yi began to prepare the supplies needed for the journey to the village. Based on the description of the disease in the letter, Lin Yue prepared various herbs and medicines. Li Yi selected a group of elite guards to be responsible for their safety.
On the day of departure, the sun was shining brightly, but Lin Yue and Li Yi were filled with worry in their hearts. They bid farewell to everyone in the prince's mansion and set foot on the road to the village. Along the way, Lin Yue was in a very heavy mood, constantly thinking about ways to deal with the epidemic. Li Yi looked at Lin Yue with great pity.
"Miss Lin, don't worry too much. We will definitely find a solution."
Lin Yue nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, I'm just worried that the situation of the disease is more serious than we thought."
When they arrived at the village, the scene in front of them shocked them. The whole village was filled with an atmosphere of despair. The villagers were lying in bed, moaning in pain. Their faces were pale, their bodies were weak, and many of them were on the verge of death.
Lin Yue immediately threw herself into the treatment work. She carefully examined the condition of each villager and prepared herbs according to their symptoms. Li Yi led the guards to maintain order in the village and soothe the emotions of the villagers. However, as the treatment work progressed, Lin Yue found that this epidemic was very strange. She had never seen a similar disease before, and the traditional treatment methods didn't seem to be very effective.
Just when Lin Yue felt desperate, she suddenly remembered the Spirit Crystal she had obtained in the snow mountain before. The Spirit Crystal had mysterious power, and perhaps it could help her find a way to treat the epidemic. Lin Yue took out the Spirit Crystal and carefully observed its light and energy fluctuations. Suddenly, the light of the Spirit Crystal flickered, as if it was transmitting some kind of information to her.
Lin Yue closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling the power of the Spirit Crystal. Gradually, the pattern of a strange herb appeared in her mind. She opened her eyes and said to Li Yi excitedly,
"Your Highness, I seem to have found a way to treat the epidemic. This epidemic requires a special herb, and the Spirit Crystal showed me what it looks like."
Li Yi looked at Lin Yue, his eyes full of surprise.
"Really? Miss Lin, then let's hurry up and find this herb."
So, Lin Yue and Li Yi, accompanied by the guards, searched for the herb in the mountains and forests around the village according to the guidance of the Spirit Crystal.
