Jin Hu, holding the letter, excitedly said, "Your Highness, great news! The rumors about Miss Yun in the capital have been debunked! Those who called her a jinx are now a laughingstock!"

Xiao Jingyan was reading the epidemic report when he heard this. He looked up, took the letter, and read it through. A smile finally appeared on his tense face.

He leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, and smiled slightly. "Good. Well done."

Jin Hu chimed in with a smile, "Your Highness, you see, I told you Miss Yun would get through this. You still don't trust me?"

Xiao Jingyan snorted, folded the letter, and tucked it into his sleeve, his tone tinged with smugness: "Of course she's different from others."

Jin Hu thought to himself: Miss Yun didn't agree to anything you asked for, Your Highness is clearly just being presumptuous.

But he didn't dare say it aloud, and could only mutter a few words to himself.

Xiao Jingyan's smile didn't last long. He remembered something else and said to Jin Hu in a solemn tone, "Don't tell her about the Northern Border."

But he still had to report to the emperor; he understood the principle that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Jin Hu responded and turned to leave.

Xiao Jingyan devoted himself to the diagnosis and treatment of the cold epidemic, and did not get a good night's sleep for several days.

He personally went to the epidemic area to check on the situation, visiting each household to inquire about the illness and reassure the people.

However, he underestimated the ferocity of the epidemic. Due to exhaustion from working through the night, unsurprisingly, he also contracted the cold disease.

Jin Hu was so frightened that he immediately summoned his attendant, Physician Liu, to treat him.

Xiao Jingyan remained calm, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, his voice hoarse: "Have Physician Liu come and take a look."

After examining the pulse, Physician Liu looked grave and said it was indeed a cold-related epidemic, requiring rest and timely medication.

After taking the medicine for two days without any improvement, Jin Hu was extremely anxious. He rummaged through his belongings and found the antidote pills that Yun Jin had given him before, and presented them to Xiao Jingyan.

"Your Highness, these are antidote pills given to you by Miss Yun. Although they are for detoxification, not for treating the epidemic, why don't you... give them a try?"

Xiao Jingyan took the pill and put it in his mouth without hesitation. The chill in his body seemed to subside a little. But by nightfall, the fever returned.

The antidote pills are not specifically for cold-related illnesses; they can only alleviate symptoms, not cure the disease.

Jin Hu was anxious and sent a message to Dong Xue by hawk that very night, saying that the prince had contracted a cold plague and the imperial physicians were helpless.

Upon receiving the letter, Dongxue immediately informed Yunjin.

After listening to Dongxue's words, Yun Jin began to search her mind for prescriptions related to the cold epidemic.

And sure enough, the magic touch that Yama, the King of Hell, gave us actually came in handy at this moment, and it did lead us to a prescription for a cold-related epidemic.

She quickly spread out a sheet of paper, copied down the prescription, and then took out the medicinal herbs from her spatial storage. She personally prepared a few pills using spiritual spring water.

Then he wrapped the items up and handed them to Dongxue, instructing her, "Deliver this medicine and prescription to the Prince as quickly as possible. This prescription is for the cold epidemic, so use it without worry."

She's still waiting for him to be her support; she really hopes he won't fall from grace.

Dongxue took the things and hurriedly went out.

When Jin Hu received Yun Jin's reply, he was so excited that he almost cried.

He didn't dare delay and quickly delivered the medicine and prescription to Xiao Jingyan.

Xiao Jingyan had a persistent high fever, his face was flushed, his lips were chapped, and he was leaning against the pillow, feeling drowsy.

Jin Hu held the pill to his lips and said anxiously, "Your Highness, this is medicine sent by Miss Yun. Please take it quickly."

Xiao Jingyan opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused, but when he heard the words "Miss Yun," a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He looked at the pill, reached out to take it, and was about to put it in his mouth.

Physician Liu quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying urgently, "Your Highness, the origin of this medicine is unknown. It must not be taken rashly! If any problems arise, I cannot bear the responsibility."

The prefect also advised, "Your Highness, it would be best to wait for the imperial physician to reconsider and clarify the properties of the medicine before administering it."

Xiao Jingyan waved his hand, his voice weak but his tone leaving no room for doubt: "I believe her."

He put the pill in his mouth, leaned back on the pillow, and closed his eyes.

Physician Liu wanted to say something more, but seeing that Xiao Jingyan had already swallowed, he had no choice but to shut up.

An hour later, Xiao Jingyan's fever began to subside.

His face was no longer flushed, and his breathing was much more even. He leaned against the pillow, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

Physician Liu took his pulse, his expression changed drastically, and his voice trembled: "His pulse has stabilized! This medicine... really works!"

Jin Hu felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders and quickly ate one as well.

He contracted the cold plague, but his symptoms were milder than Xiao Jingyan's, and he kept quiet about it.

After taking the medicine, his chest tightness was relieved a lot, and his cough also lessened.

He let out a long sigh, leaned back in his chair, and almost burst into tears.

Xiao Jingyan opened his eyes and asked Jin Hu to take the prescription to the imperial physician. His voice was still a little weak: "This is the prescription she gave. You take it to prepare the medicine and distribute it throughout the city."

Physician Liu took the prescription, examined it carefully, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter: "The herbs in this prescription are all common, inexpensive, and easy to find. It's just that the combination is different, and it's much more ingenious than the prescriptions we tried before."

He looked up at Xiao Jingyan, his voice trembling with excitement, "Your Highness, if this prescription can be widely adopted, this epidemic can be cured!"

Xiao Jingyan nodded: "Go and do it."

The imperial physician hurriedly went to prepare the medicine.

The prefect sent people to assist in setting up medicine distribution points throughout the city, where anyone with symptoms could receive medicine for free.

Two days later, the epidemic was brought under control, the number of new cases decreased significantly, and fewer people died from the disease.

But the medicine was running out. Fortunately, the emperor's men arrived, bringing a large quantity of medicinal herbs and a special imperial physician.

The leading imperial physician was surnamed Qian; he was highly skilled and experienced.

He was so excited to hear that a cure for the cold plague had been found that he immediately sought an audience with Xiao Jingyan to inquire about the prescription.

Xiao Jingyan leaned back in his chair, looked at him, and said calmly, "The prescription was provided by Yun Jin, the adopted daughter of Lord Yun. You can use it, but the credit belongs to her, not mine. You must report this truthfully."

Physician Qian was taken aback. He exchanged glances with the other physicians who had come with him and quickly nodded, "Your Highness, rest assured, this humble official will report the truth and will not dare to conceal anything."

Xiao Jingyan nodded in satisfaction.

Physician Qian received the prescription and examined it carefully several times. He was so excited that his voice trembled as he exclaimed, "Wonderful! This prescription is exquisitely formulated, with bold yet perfectly balanced ingredients. I wonder where this Miss Yun obtained this prescription and is willing to share it. She is truly a person of great virtue."

They were unwilling to admit that the formula was created by Yun Jin herself.

Xiao Jingyan didn't care; he was happy as long as Yun Jin was praised.

After all, she was the one he had his eye on.

With the northern plague over, it was time for him to head home.

Xiao Jingyan looked towards the capital and muttered to himself: Yun Jin, wait for me.
