The two of them left the room. Zheng Xian explained the matter to the man and the woman, and also gave the man and the woman some silver coins.
Meng Li walked in front and looked at the formation arranged by Zheng Xian. It was not difficult at all. Many things remained the same.
Zheng Xian came out and followed Meng Li. Meng Li asked:
"Where did this epidemic originate?"
Zheng Xian shook his head:
"It's not very clear. It spread quickly and widely, and the root cause has long been found. However, it broke out in several places at about the same time."
"A few places are quite far apart."
Meng Li nodded slightly to express his understanding, and took Zheng Xian directly back to the General's Mansion.
Everyone went to rest.
The next morning, Meng Li went to greet the general's wife. The general's wife repeatedly warned him not to go out secretly.
Wen Chuxue pursed her lips and said nothing.
He also said that the price of vegetables outside has increased so much that the food conditions may be worse than before, so that everyone should have an idea and stop complaining about why the food is not good.
Fortunately, there is enough food in the General's Mansion, and it has industry itself.
In the next two days, Meng Li found that his food intake plummeted from meal to meal. The last meal contained meat, and the next meal only contained vegetables.
After all, with so many people living in the capital, vegetables and meat cannot be replenished from outside, and the daily consumption is staggering. In fact, the plague broke out not long ago, otherwise there would probably be no vegetables left to eat.
Meng Li sneaked out to buy some medicinal materials and try to mix them himself.
But now the medicinal materials in the pharmacies outside have been emptied out, and there is no more medicine to buy.
Rich people are willing to store some medicine at home for emergencies.
Pharmacies are closed.
Meng Li sighed, even if it were available, it would be incredibly expensive.
The original owner was a concubine and her monthly income was not too much.
Meng Li went directly to Zheng Xian's room. Zheng Xian said that it would be fine if he asked her to go directly. Meng Li happened to be able to build a space passage, which would be more convenient.
Meng Li briefly told Zheng Xian what had happened, and Zheng Xian frowned and said:
"Why is it that there are outbreaks of disease all over the country, but the capital city is safe and sound, at least on the surface."
Meng Li couldn't figure out this problem either.
It always feels a little strange.
Zheng Xian said:
"Then what should we do? We have to find a way to protect ourselves."
Meng Li looked at Zheng Xian silently, when Zheng Xian's maid suddenly shouted at the door:
"Miss."
Meng Li hid behind the curtain.
"Come in." Zheng Xian said calmly.
The maid came in and Zheng Xian asked:
"whats the matter?"
The maid said:
"The prince has come to the mansion."
A trace of impatience flashed in Zheng Xian's heart, but it didn't show on her face. She asked:
"Did the prince say anything?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would like to meet you, young lady." the maid said.
Zheng Xian: "I know, I'll go there later." She waved her hand, and the maid bowed and went down.
Meng Li came out from behind the curtain and teased Zheng Xian:
"It seems that you are engaged to the prince, and I risked the risk of contracting the disease to come see you. I love you so much."
Zheng Xian looked disgusted:
"A-Li, don't let me catch the chance."
Meng Li smiled and asked:
"What are you doing here, Prince?"
Zheng Xian shook his head:
"I'll come back as soon as I go, how about you wait for me here for a while?"
Zheng Xian thought for a while and gave Meng Li another bead and said:
"Holding it will help you practice faster."
Meng Li glanced at the white beads in his hand and asked:
"What's this?"
"The Spirit Gathering Bead can speed up the cultivation effect and is suitable for use in this kind of world." Zheng Xian walked outside and said to Meng Li.
Meng Li said, "Thank you."
Zheng Xian went out, and Meng Li glanced around the entire room. Naturally, the conditions of the legitimate daughter's room were better than those of the concubine, and Meng Li felt that Zheng Xian had the same habits as her.
She just doesn't like to change the layout of the original client. Under normal circumstances, she won't change the layout of the house when she gets to the plane.
Meng Li was naturally unwilling to admit that he was too lazy to move.
She found a place in Zheng Xian's room to sit cross-legged, holding the spirit-gathering beads in her hands, and began to practice.
Needless to say, it is really useful. Although it does not have the effect of a swarm of spiritual energy, it is at least a little stronger than before, which is better than nothing.
You can go back to the mall and redeem one by yourself another day, which will make your cultivation faster.
Zheng Xian walked towards the main hall. The prince was already sitting and waiting. The prince's face was covered tightly, and his two eyes were exposed and rolling.
If it weren't for the dragon-patterned jade pendant on his waist, which symbolized the prince's noble status, he would not look like the usually handsome prince, but rather like a snitch.
Zheng Xian bowed to the prince as expected and lowered her head to prevent the prince from seeing too much of her expression.
The prince raised his palm, Zheng Xian stood up, went to sit under the prince, the prince gave a fake cough uncomfortably and said:
"I came here today because..."
Zheng Xian: "What is it?"
The prince glanced at the dazzling Zheng Xian, frowned again, and said:
"Although you are in the mansion, you still have to pay attention. Now the epidemic is prevalent and cannot be controlled. I don't know when it will..."
Zheng Xian rolled his eyes and said:
"Then Your Highness, are you covering yourself up like this when you eat in the prince's residence?"
Prince:…
With her sharp teeth and sharp mouth, she is really becoming less and less like the gentle and dignified Wen Xuan she used to be.
Zheng Xian asked:
"Why did the prince come here today?"
Only then did the prince think of business, and he asked:
"Did anything special happen in the general's residence during this time?"
Zheng Xian shook his head: "No."
The prince stared at Zheng Xian suspiciously, narrowed his eyes, and asked again:
"Really do not have?"
Zheng Xian felt that the prince was like a lunatic and shook his head firmly.
The prince made a sound and said:
"Then I'm gone."
The prince stood up, and Zheng Xian also stood up. The prince walked to the door and looked back at Zheng Xian:
"Why don't you think about it carefully? This matter is very important."
Zheng Xian nodded and obediently followed the prince's wishes, frowning and pretending to be thinking hard.
The prince's eyes were fixed on Zheng Xian, and the anticipation in his heart also rose.
Zheng Xian touched his head and said:
"I wonder if one thing counts?"
The prince quickly asked:
"whats the matter?"
Zheng Xian: "If I have to talk about something special, a cat died in the backyard."
Prince:…
Staring at Zheng Xian: "How dare you act like a loner?"
Zheng Xian has such an innocent expression:
"How can I dare, my lord? It's the prince who insists on asking."
"This is the only thing I can think of. Do you want the cat's body? I don't know how my servants will deal with it."
The prince snorted and said unhappily:
"Okay, Gu finally remembers you. How brave you are to tease Gu."
Zheng Xian patted his chest and said:
"My daughter is very scared, Your Highness."
The prince became even more angry.
I wanted to say something, but I held back.
With an extremely impatient look in his eyes, he walked to the door, took his servants and left directly.
