"Madam," Bai Ji rushed into the room with a cloth on his face and raised his voice, "the slaves checked the house and found four people with high fever. When they were found, they still wanted to avoid the slaves secretly!"
Fang Xu's face hardened, and Bai Ji immediately said with relief, "Madam, don't worry, it's Sasao from the mansion, not someone from the main courtyard."
Fang Xu shook his head and whispered, "This disease spreads very quickly, so we should not take it lightly. If there is one person in the house, it is a group."
Bai Ji's expression paused and collapsed instantly.
"Take out the herbs that I ordered Su Zi to hoard, and everyone will use their palm-sized tricks to make a soup. Each person will have a bowl. Don't throw away the dregs of the medicine. You can soak your feet. The effect is good."
"Yes." When Bai Ji heard this, he ran out in a hurry.
Fang Xu issued the instructions in an orderly manner. Fortunately, the servants in the mansion were quite sensible. Once the seriousness of the matter was fully revealed, Fang Xu, the head matron, took the lead in drinking a bowl of soup. Everyone trusted in her heart and they all drank the medicine obediently.
"Listen here, everyone in the Hou Mansion is on emergency alert. All the doors are sealed. No one can go in or out. There are dedicated people to supply grain, oil and vegetables. When I go out on weekdays, I only take Baiji Suzi with me. Chengyuan is not with the Mansion." After getting in touch, the Crown Princess will temporarily move to the young lady’s yard.”
"At this critical juncture, we in the Marquis must unite as one and turn into a hemp rope and twist it aside."
"If I find someone committing a crime against my will, they will be kicked out of the Marquis immediately. If they behave themselves and obey orders, I will reward each person with five taels of silver out of my own pocket!"
Fang Xu's words echoed in the front yard, causing quite a stir among the servants.
That's five taels of silver that you can get for free as long as you obey!
Enough for ordinary wealthy people to eat for several years!
"Yes, just follow Madam's orders!"
Fang Xu raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction in his eyes.
These people are not difficult to lead.
"Bai Ji, go and send a message to Uncle Liu who delivers food, and send some herbs and strips of cloth to Prince Zhan's Mansion for your sister." Fang Xu turned his head and ordered softly.
Although he can go out, there is nothing major in front of him, so he should try to avoid it as much as possible.
"Slave, go now." Bai Ji accepted the order and turned to leave.
After Bai Ji left, Fang Xu keenly observed a flash of dark blue at the corner not far away.
Fang Xu frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly.

War Prince's Mansion
Fang Lan held a pair of delicate scissors, observed the flower branches in the vase, raised his bare hands, and gently cut off a bud.
"How is it?" Fang Lan raised his hand and raised the vase with a smile on his face, "Does it look good?"
"Princess, look at this slave..." The little round-faced girl scratched her head with a look of helplessness on her face, "It's no different from before."
"Stupid!" Fang Lan glanced at her and cursed with a smile.
The little round face smiled and stood aside, "Slave's stupidity, doesn't it better highlight the madam's intelligence?"
"You are the only one with a sweet mouth." Fang Lan couldn't help laughing, covering her small mouth and laughing out loud.
"Princess, the princess is in serious trouble!" A boy hurried in from outside, his face full of panic.
Fang Lan was frightened and the scissors in her hand suddenly dropped.
"You're reckless!" Xiao Yuan took two steps forward and yelled loudly, "You are so brave as a little bird, but you are still here to serve me!"
"What's the matter?" Fang Lan lowered his eyes and looked at the boy quietly.
The boy gasped and lowered his voice, "There is a girl coming outside. She is said to be the prince's woman, and she is already five months pregnant!"
Fang Lan paused and stared at him, unresponsive.
The little round face stared with horror on his face, and said in shock, "Are you serious?"
The boy nodded hurriedly and said loudly, "I can see clearly that the old lady has personally gone to take the girl into the house!"
The little round face opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say, so she had to turn her head and look at Fang Lan, "Princess..."
Fang Lan blinked mechanically, trying to regain his thoughts.
The light in his eyes completely dimmed, Fang Lan gently opened his lips, "Let me go and have a look."
When Fang Lan arrived with people, the war king and the old concubine were both there. There was also a girl in the hall. She had a pair of big and pitiful eyes, cherry lips and a beautiful nose. She was dressed in cotton and linen clothes, but she still couldn't hide her appearance. A pure and pure temperament.
Fang Lan stared at the man in the room. His big hand fell on the woman's bulging belly with an obvious smile on his face.
Fang Lan's eyes turned red and her steps stopped.
The King of War glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He looked embarrassed and the smile on his lips became forced, "Lan'er..."
Hearing this, Concubine Sun raised her eyes and saw Fang Lan. The smile on her face instantly dissipated, and she snorted coldly and stopped looking at her.
The woman in the room also noticed the expressions on the two men's faces. She took a breath and turned around with a faint smile on her lips.
Just one look and I can't laugh anymore.
As if he hadn't seen her, Fang Lan walked into the room and saluted gracefully, "I've met the mother and concubine, and I've met the prince."
The King of War raised his hand and touched his nose with his fingertips, as if he did not dare to face her, so he simply said, "No need to be polite."
Concubine Sun rolled her eyes and cursed in a low voice, "Pretending!"
Fang Lan stood up, his eyes fell on the woman beside him, his eyes were slightly red, "This is..."
Fang Lan's appearance was imprinted in the woman's eyes, bringing back memories of the past.
She had seen these eyes before, many years ago.
That winter, natural disasters occurred frequently, and people were in dire straits. She was only six or seven years old, and she was still a beggar who gnawed tree bark, drank snow water, and could not read a single word.
Both her parents died in that heavy snowfall, and she should have died too, but she happened to meet a kind person who handed her a piece of naan that was still warm.
She remembered what she looked like.
A few days later, I saw the fairy again. She was giving alms in the porridge shed, and the streets were filled with praises for her.
She didn't know much about writing, so she could only follow the words of others and figure out who she was, a young lady from the Fang family who had come back from the capital to pay homage to her ancestors.
After that, she went there every day to beg for porridge. The more she went there, the charming lady also got to know her. She smiled at her every time and said, "I see you come here every day. What's your name?" name?"
She had no name, and others only called her Little Broom, or Broom Star's Broom. She didn't want to tell the lady, so she had to hide her face and run away.
But after that day, the lady left and never came back.
She didn't even have time to ask the lady to give herself a name...
"Her name is Xunfang, and she was rescued by this king by chance."
After returning to his thoughts, Xunfang raised his eyes and looked at Fang Lan, touching his lower abdomen with his fingertips, his pupils trembling slightly.
Looking at Fang Lan's red eyes, she was heartbroken and couldn't imagine what she had done.
The princess was the savior she had been waiting for for many years, but she... stole her benefactor's husband and hurt her...
"Really?" Fang Lan lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on Xunfang's bulging belly, and smiled, "That's really a rare visitor."
The King of War rubbed his nose and whispered, "Sit down, I have something to discuss with you."
Fang Lan raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile, "What happened to the prince today? Why did he suddenly change his name?"
Previously, the King of War spoke of me in front of her, never mentioning the word "I am the King".
Looking at it now, a life of two people is ultimately just a dream.
