Chapter 1023: Chapter 1024: Don’t Just Look After Others and Forget Yourself

Gong Juese saw that Meng Lanqing still wasn’t kissing her and the happy expression on her face just vanished, ”You said you’re not angry, but you are. You’re not even kissing me anymore, even though we used to do it so often before.”

Meng Lanqing: ”...” That was all in private, okay!

However, afraid that Gong Juese would say something more embarrassing, Meng Lanqing resigned himself and quickly pecked her on the lips. Then he scolded, ”Stop making a fuss, or I’ll really get angry.”

Gong Juese then behaved, but her face held a big smile, radiating sweetness.

Still, she clung to one of Meng Lanqing’s hands and wouldn’t let go.

Meng Lanqing shook his hand twice and couldn’t shake her off, so he stopped trying. He took Gong Juese with him to see his father and mother-in-law. He had entered the city; he had to personally tell his father and mother-in-law.

As Meng Lanqing, her husband, pulled her along, Gong Juese looked back at Gong Juechen and called out, ”Brother, the Fulan flowers have entered the city. Don’t just take care of others and forget to eat yourself. Your plague is still not completely cured.”

”I know, okay!” Though sounding impatient, Gong Juese’s face had a smile on it, clearly happy that his little sister cared about him.

...

By the time Meng Lanqing brought the Fulan flowers into the city, An Jing and Xiao Changyi had already received the news.

When the Fulan flower-infused medicinal broth was brought to An Jing, she didn’t drink it immediately but instead looked at Xiao Changyi.

She smiled at Xiao Changyi first and, seeing him smirk, then started to drink the broth.

Four hours later, An Jing felt much better and no longer needed to soak in ice water, so she came out of the bath tub.

Changing out of her wet clothes, An Jing put on dry ones.

Not lying down to rest, An Jing joined Xiao Changyi in heading to the Medicinal Diet Hall.

Everyone in the Medicinal Diet Hall who had caught the plague had already taken the broth, and the medicine had taken effect, easing everyone’s suffering.

Seeing that everyone was feeling better, An Jing and Xiao Changyi exchanged glances involuntarily. No words were spoken, but joy was evident in their eyes.

Wang Youbao entered Nanshen City in the evening, and the Fulan flowers he brought into the city were far more than those Meng Lanqing had brought.

Initially, fearing that there wouldn’t be enough Fulan flowers, the broth containing them was only given to those who had caught the plague. Now, with Wang Youbao bringing in more Fulan flowers, Xiao Changyi ordered that it be given to those as well who weren’t sure whether they had caught the plague, in order to completely cure the epidemic in Nanshen City.

Of course, the broth given to those unsure if they were infected differed from the one given to those who were, with the prescription written by Gong Juechen. The only commonality between the two broths was the inclusion of Fulan flowers.

The next day, all those who had been unconscious and infected with the plague woke up, including Su Chengyu and Meng Zhuqing.

When Su Chengyu woke up, Ning Wenxian cried tears of joy once again.

When Meng Zhuqing woke up, Tuobanya ran off. She hid in a deserted corner, covering her mouth, crying loudly. He was finally awake... He wouldn’t die now...

Since everyone in Nanshen City had drunk the broth containing Fulan flowers, no more people died.

Those infected with the plague were getting better day by day.

Inside Nanshen City, all citizens were grateful to Gong Juechen for saving them and even more grateful to the Emperor of Xiyun for never abandoning them by ordering the slaughter of the city. People knelt down, facing the direction of the Imperial Palace, kowtowing and crying, shouting long live the Emperor.
