Chapter 1019: Chapter 1020: Giving You Some Pastries for Rescue

Qin Er and Qin San were immediately overjoyed when they heard the news. Right away, Qin Er hurried to knock on the door to report the matter to Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi, upon hearing that Gong Juechen had found a way to cure the plague, immediately ordered the maidservants to take care of An Jing, who was soaking in ice water and had fallen asleep in the tub, as he himself got up and walked outside.

”Is what you’re saying true?” Xiao Changyi asked Gong Juechen urgently as soon as he came out of the room.

Gong Juechen didn’t answer but instead gestured for Xiao Changyi to look at his face and neck: ”Take a look, so many of my pustules have deflated, do you think I’m telling the truth?”

Only then did Xiao Changyi notice the changes in Gong Juechen’s body, and even with his cold personality, he couldn’t help feeling overjoyed at the moment, ”What is the method?”

Gong Juechen didn’t beat around the bush any longer and took out a Fulan flower cake from the basket: ”I ate a lot of these last night, and when I woke up this morning, I found that the pustules had deflated. It must be the Fulan flowers in the cakes that can cure the plague. The most urgent task now is to get people outside the city to pick a large amount of Fulan flowers from the surrounding mountains and bring them in.”

Xiao Changyi had heard An Jing mentioning the previous night that Gong Juese had made Fulan flower cakes for Gong Juechen, which must be the same cakes. Before he could speak, someone from Su Chengyu’s entourage came rushing in to report urgently, ”Prince, it’s terrible, the Crown Prince is not doing well.”

Xiao Changyi was startled and asked Gong Juechen in a hurry, ”Have the Fulan flowers your sister brought into the city been used up?”

It was clear he wanted to save Su Chengyu.

Gong Juechen didn’t want to die either, though he had brought the cakes actually intending to save Meng Zhuqing, who was also unconscious and tormented by the plague. However, he still secretly hoped to save Meng Zhuqing first.

But now, with one close to death and the other who could possibly hold on a bit longer, Gong Juechen could only say: ”My sister used all the flowers to make cakes for me. There are still quite a few cakes left. I’ll give the Crown Prince a few cakes right away to see if it works.”

At this point, that was all they could do.

Xiao Changyi took three Fulan flower cakes from Gong Juechen and ran to Su Chengyu’s room, while Gong Juechen hesitated for a moment but still followed with the basket.

To tell the truth, he was quite reluctant to part with those three cakes.

Those cakes were made by his sister just for him, and he had not intended to give any away to anyone else.

But because he felt that he had always been somewhat unfair to his friend Meng Zhuqing, he had come with the cakes, planning to save Meng Zhuqing first.

Meng Zhuqing was now unconscious and could die at any moment.

As Gong Juechen went to Su Chengyu’s room, he also gave Qin Er five cakes to take to Tuobanya, asking Tuobanya to find a way to feed Meng Zhuqing.

Qin Er didn’t understand why Gong Juechen only gave three cakes to save the Crown Prince but was so generous with five cakes for Meng Zhuqing. However, he still followed Gong Juechen’s instructions.

Looking at the six remaining cakes in his basket, Gong Juechen felt even more heartache for the ones he had given away.

When Gong Juechen entered Su Chengyu’s room, Xiao Changyi and the others were frantically soaking the cakes in water, mashing them into a pulp, planning to feed it to Su Chengyu. Because Su Chengyu was now completely unconscious and couldn’t eat the cakes.

But when they tried to feed the pulpy, porridge-like cakes to Su Chengyu, they found that he couldn’t swallow it.

Ning Wenxian, seeing this, didn’t care about embarrassment or the many people present; her only concern was to save Su Chengyu. So she took a sip herself, then mouth-to-mouth fed it to Su Chengyu.

This showed deeply Ning Wenxian’s affection for Su Chengyu.

Gong Juechen watched and couldn’t help feeling a bit envious. When would there be a woman who would love him as deeply?
