Your Grace, you were amazing just now.

Especially when you k*lled

that scheming villain.

You were like a decisive female general!

To be honest, with so many people
watching me just now,

I felt weak in the knees
and numb in the scalp.

It's better now,

not thinking about anything, that suits me.

Forcing a socially anxious person
to give a speech publicly is simply inhumane.

Your Grace,

the commoners have been settled.

However, medicinal supplies
are critically scarce.

The treatment of severe
patients is a major problem

due to a lack of manpower.

Don't worry, there will be a way.

Then I shall take my leave.

This will be done in a minute.

Be careful!

Take this to be decocted.

Here, here.

[Yu'an Hall]

Feeling better now?

Slowly, slowly.

- Your Grace. - Your Grace.

Where is Chunhua?

I brought her candied haws.

Chunhua fell ill last night

and passed away.

Your Grace.

It's all due to my incompetence
that I haven't found a cure.

All right.

Miss, you're so beautiful.

When I come next time,
I'll bring you candied haws,

okay?

Thank you, Miss.

Good girl.

[If this plague, which has taken]

[so many innocent lives,]

[is not a natural disaster
but a man-made one,]

[I'll make sure those responsible
pay the same price.]

Did you find out?

I found that in the past month,
among the first households to hold funerals,

more than half

were from the same alley.

From the same

alley?

How could it be such a coincidence?

If this plague is man-made,

then this alley must be the source.

Go ask each household
to see where they usually

purchase their daily supplies

and get the water.

Yes.

It seems behind this plague,

there lies a greater conspiracy.

Ma'am,

where have you been
getting your water lately?

Oh.

Where have you been getting your water lately?

Over there.

Your Grace, I found out

Jing'an Alley is located in the west market.

Most people go there for supplies.

There's a large well
at the end of Jing'an Alley.

Those without wells in their courtyards
go there to fetch water.

A well?

Let's check out the well then.

Has this well experienced

anything unusual recently?

Unusual things?

Oh, right,

a granny just complained

that some rascal earlier

threw old clothes into the well.

People scolded him for a long time.

[Old clothes?]

Get Physician Xu here

and have him inspect this well.

Yes.

Your Highness, Ning Chuxi

has already found out.

Dead or deaf?

What use do I have for you?

You can't even handle a mere girl

and you dare face me!

If she gets in the way, just k*ll her.

Isn't it a simple thing to do?

Loser!

Ning Chuxi has Prince Ning
and the Crown Prince behind her.

Even Yizhou's magistrate
listens to her every word.

Our man was caught

and k*lled among the crowds.

She has a formidable guard by her side.

It'll be hard to strike.

She's been in Yizhou for so long,

and hasn't contracted the plague.

How fortunate.

When she arrived in Yizhou,

people in the Ning family
were already coughing and feverish.

But she reacted quickly,

and immediately quarantined everyone.

I don't care what methods you use.

Silence everyone who shouldn't be talking.

Yes.

Your Grace,

all the nearby pharmacists have
raised prices dozens of times.

If this continues,

we will be short of money.

What about the neighboring counties?

Same situation.

It seems they came prepared.

Indeed.

Your Grace, be careful!

Huailiu, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Miss, are you okay?

I'm fine. Quickly, help Huailiu into a room.

Oh, yes.

[All the guards and servants
in the Ning's Residence]

[must be screened again.]

[There might still be hidden spies.]

Physician.

Your Grace.

Fortunately, the knife
didn't go in too deep,

and it missed any vital organs.

Plus, the treatment was timely.

Huailiu is out of danger now.

Will it have any aftereffects?

Rest assured, Your Grace.

I'll prescribe some
inflammatory medicine first.

With gradual care,
a full recovery is expected.

- Your Grace. - Hey.

How could I deserve
such a great courtesy from you?

You saved my life.

How could you not deserve it?

Your Grace, you overpraise me.

Protecting you is our duty.

But you serve Xiao Xingheng.

If not for orders to protect me,
you wouldn't have had to follow me to Yizhou

and face such danger.

Don't blame yourself, Your Grace.

I just feel guilty toward you.

You

feel guilty toward me?

Previously, when you
were framed by Lin Yudai,

I was originally ordered
to secretly protect you.

At that time, I stationed people
outside Yuchang Pavilion.

But due to my negligence,

you were abducted,

and almost got harmed.

This is my fault.

Are you saying Xiao Xingheng

already had you secretly protecting me?

I protected you with my life

because if anything happened to you,

Master would not only go mad,

but also

would not survive alone.

Sorry,

I shouldn't have said so much.

But I just hope

you don't feel guilty over my injuries

and I hope you'll cherish yourself.

Thank you for telling me this.

But no matter what,

your act of saving me
is still real gratitude.

Miss.

Miss, news has arrived.

His Highness has led people
to reach outside the city.

Bad news!

Yu'an Hall is in trouble!

It seems these people
learned the assassination failed,

and found out the
reinforcements are arriving soon,

so they are desperate to take my life here.

If the assassin enters Yu'an Hall later,
I'll cover you to run forward.

Just head straight to the city gate.

The city guards and Master
should arrive shortly.

Yu'an Hall is full
of the elderly, weak, and sick.

If these assassins storm in,
then Yu'an Hall will be doomed.

Your Grace,

don't think too much now.

Your Grace, get ready.

If I tell you to run,

you must run immediately.

Don't look back.

Stop hiding, just go!

Your Grace, run!

Run!

[Run faster, run faster.]

[Faster.]

[Huailiu and the people in Yu'an Hall
are still waiting for me.]
