Since arriving in Pingzhou, Doctor Sun has been researching prescriptions every day. The saying goes, "treating a dead horse as if it were alive," which perfectly illustrates this situation.
The people infected with the plague are already waiting to die in agony and struggle. Now, with the Imperial Physician providing them with consultations and prescriptions, and even the herbs for brewing the medicine being free—thanks to the grace of the Nanyang County Princess—they are grateful beyond measure and naturally wouldn't complain about the minor details like the medicine being slow to take effect while people continue to die.
The court abandoned Pingzhou, leaving the plague unattended. At such a time, only the Nanyang County Princess stepped forward. They feel boundless gratitude and appreciation for the Commandery Princess.
That evening, the medicine brewed according to the new prescription was distributed to the patients.
