The two originally wanted to discuss with Gu Huaijing how to distribute these herbs to the people, but they overheard the conversation between Teng Xi and Gu Huaijing.

Ever since, Guyu couldn't sit still.

Only then did the scene just now appear.

"My people found out that Song Ling'er will come. Now the drinking water matter is almost completed. As long as it is completed within the agreed time, the problem of the people in the west will be solved."

Gu Huaijing is not worried about anyone coming, but he is worried about affecting the people in the west.

Although he didn't say it out loud, Tan Zhixu still saw his true thoughts.

"If the imperial court sends someone, it won't affect us."

Tan Zhixu comforted Gu Huaijing.

Gu Huaijing, who was still thinking about things at first, gradually stopped thinking about it now.

"Yes, I will arrange for Teng Xi to keep an eye on the court. You should not appear in front of officials during this period, in case they involve you."

Gu Huaijing still didn't want Tan Zhixu to be in danger.

Tan Zhixu knows this better than anyone else, but she also knows that at this time, she cannot retreat.

"it is good."

Tan Zhixu agreed on the surface, but in his heart he had his own plan.

After discussing the follow-up matters with Gu Huaijing, Tan Zhixu took Gu Yu out.

People have started to get sick in various places recently, and she knew that she had to prepare herbal medicine, just in case.

At this moment, Guyu was squatting on the ground and starting to dig herbs. As he dug, he muttered, "Girl, why do you have to make yourself so uncomfortable? Can't we let the common people do it? Must it be like this?"

Tan Zhixu found a good ginseng tree. As soon as Gu Yu said that she accidentally made a noise, the ginseng disappeared.

She helplessly looked at Gu Yu, who was sticking out his butt towards her.

"Girl, can you see if this is the herb you want?"

Guyu turned his head and held a large herb in his hand.

Now Tan Zhixu's eyes were all focused on Gu Yu's face, and he didn't see the herbs in her hand at all.

In the past, Guyu paid great attention to her appearance. After all, she was the personal maid of the second wife of the Hou family. She always felt that her image represented her master, so she paid great attention to it.

But I didn't expect that she didn't care at all now.

Tan Zhixu couldn't help laughing.

Guyu looked at her excitedly, not wanting his master to smile.

When Tan Zhixu smiled, Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, "Girl, what are you laughing at?"

"Gu Yu, you look just like a little cat."

She pointed at Gu Yu as she spoke.

Being pointed at by her own lady, Gu Yu touched her face and immediately touched the dirt. She was so nervous that she said, "Oh, girl, what time has it been? Why are you still making fun of me?"

Gu Yu couldn't help but start acting coquettishly with Tan Zhixu.

Tan Zhixu's haze for the past few days had mostly dissipated because of Guyu. Only then did she see the herbal medicine in Gu Yu's hand. It was indeed the best herbal medicine.

"Gu Yu, you have made a great contribution this time."

"Really?"

Gu Yu, who was a little angry just now, instantly smiled.

As Tan Zhixu nodded, Gu Yu smiled, "Let me tell you, girl, what is this herb?"

"It's Hanxi grass. It's very useful. Each part has different uses..." Tan Zhixu was careful and told Gu Yu the uses of this herb from beginning to end.

Guyu was incredibly surprised from the beginning. "Girl, I didn't expect this little one to be able to make a life-sustaining pill?"

"Ah."

Tan Zhixu nodded, but Gu Yu frowned slightly, "Girl, how did you know?"

In her impression, her girl didn't understand herbal medicine, but she didn't know when she started to know herbal medicine like a doctor.

No matter how Gu Yu searched his memory, he could not find any memory related to these herbs.

Could it be...

Gu Yu was still thinking wildly, but Tan Zhixu interrupted her thoughts directly.

"Don't you see that your master is asking for medical documents every day?"

"That's true."

"Okay, let's get it done quickly. After getting the herbs, we have to go back quickly."

"Yes."

What else could Guyu say, he could only take good care of the medicine.

The two worked for two hours and returned home with a full load.

When Gu Huaijing and Teng Xi saw that they hadn't returned yet, they thought something had happened, so they went out along the mountain path to look for them, and happened to meet them at the foot of the mountain.

The two of them couldn't help but smile when they saw the two girls covered in dirt.

Gu Huaijing looked at Tan Zhi and Xu Jiao's beautiful face with a little stain on it, which made her look a lot cuter.

He stepped forward and subconsciously stretched out his hand to wipe the dirt off Tan Zhixu's face.

This action was too gentle and ambiguous, and Tan Zhixu's face suddenly turned red.

When Teng Xi saw this scene, he dragged Gu Yu away.

Gu Yu wanted to say something else, but he caught a glimpse of Gu Huaijing out of the corner of his eye. She smiled knowingly and ran faster than Teng Xi.

There was no one around now. Gu Huaijing was even more unscrupulous and took the basket from Tan Zhixu's hand, "Why did you come to the mountain without saying anything? People are digging for wild vegetables here recently. It's very dangerous. How did you find it?" So many herbs?”

"The people are indeed digging wild vegetables, but this place is too high and the people don't have much strength to support them here, so the herbs are safe."

Tan Zhixu explained and walked back with Gu Huaijing.

"Some people are sick, and I'm worried that there are highly contagious diseases among them, so it's best to gather all the sick people in one place."

"it is good."

Gu Huaijing could not find a reason to refuse Tan Zhixu's proposal.

Back in the city, Gu Huaijing arranged for people to clean up a large yard and let the sick people live in it.

Seeing such importance, the people also started talking one after another, and some people even found Mr. Wang.

"Master Wang, why do sick people live alone? Is it a disease? Is it a plague?"

As soon as the word "plague" came out, the people watching began to get restless.

Mr. Wang almost couldn't comfort him anymore, but Tan Zhixu appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone, please listen to me. This time the people are sick, it is not a plague. It is just because of the current weather. We are worried that the people who are not sick will not be able to support themselves and will be infected, so they are separated. There is no plague as you think."

Tan Zhixu's expression was very serious, and she had given the people a lot of help during this period, so the people still believed her words.

"I think what Miss Tan is saying is that if there is really a plague, how could Miss Tan treat it herself and not take protective measures?"

"That's right, so let's not worry. We should listen to the court and continue to divert water. As long as there is water, everything will be better."
