The steward of the main hall greeted respectfully.

Gu Qingluan calmly laid out her thoughts one by one.

The steward nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with admiration.

“That’s probably all. You can have someone start on these tasks, and if there’s anything else needed, we can add to it later.”

At this moment, the steward didn’t have time for pleasantries. He responded and hurried off to carry our Gu Qingluan’s instructions.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingluan didn’t idle after giving her instructions to the steward.

The Salvation Hall wasn’t just for treating patients; it had several pavilions, but today, all of them were occupied by patients.

The pavilion with the most people was the medical pavilion.

Gu Qingluan approached the medical pavilion.

Most of the doctors from the Salvation Hall were here, all of them busy, with sweat beads on their foreheads even in the cold weather.

One of the doctors had just finished examining a patient when Gu Qingluan took the opportunity to approach him and ask, “Where are the patients experiencing cough and fever in the Salvation Hall located?”

The doctor absentmindedly raised his head, but when he saw Gu Qingluan’s face, he was startled and quickly stood up. “Guardian Princess, why are you here? It’s dangerous here. As someone who’s about to have a big celebration, you shouldn’t catch any illness here.”

Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. “I know what I’m doing. First, tell me where the patients with fever are.”

The doctor replied, “Currently, all the patients in the pavilions have a fever, and we’ve put a temporary hold on admitting patients with different health issues.”

Gu Qingluan was surprised, “Who decided this?”

“It was Doctor Du. He suspected that it wasn’t just a common cold that everyone had, but possibly an epidemic. However, nobody believed it until Miss Tang fell ill yesterday with the same symptoms as the other patients. That’s when everyone panicked and followed Doctor Du’s advice to send away non-urgent patients, grouping the severe and urgent cases together in one place. Patients having fever were placed in different pavilions based on their symptoms.”

So someone noticed this early on.

Gu Qingluan frowned. “Why didn’t anyone inform me earlier?”

“Well… it was because you’re about to get married, and Miss Tang didn’t want to disturb you.”

Gu Qingluan scolded gently, “Nonsense!”‘

The doctor shrunk back, intimidated by her.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Qingluan’s expression softened slightly. “Where is Doctor Du?”

“He’s right there.”

He pointed in the direction to her right.

Gu Qingluan followed his gaze and saw a tall and upright figure who was currently checking the patients’ conditions.

Gu Qingluan walked over and didn’t speak immediately, but observed Doctor Du s diagnosis.

Doctor Du appeared quite young, in his twenties, with a handsome and fair complexion compared to the average person.

He lowered his gaze slightly, his long eyelashes like wings gently resting below his eyelids.

“Don’t worry, your illness is not severe for now. From your pulse, it doesn’t appear to be a sign of an epidemic, but your body is relatively weaker than that of a healthy person. Therefore, there’s a higher possibility of external pathogens invading, and we can’t rule out the risk of contracting the epidemic in the future.”

“Ah? What should I do now?”

The person had initially sighed with relief but turned pale and nervous upon hearing Doctor Du’s words.

“There’s no specific treatment at the moment. You need to be cautious and take the medicine I prescribed on time. Did you drink the medicinal soup provided by the Salvation Hall when you entered earlier?”

“Yes, I did.”

Doctor Du nodded. “That’s good. The medicinal soup can’t completely eliminate the possibility of contracting the epidemic, but it can boost your immune system, reducing the risk of getting the disease.”

Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. There was already medicinal soup available?

She hadn’t noticed earlier, but now she glanced toward the entrance with her spiritual awareness and realized that there had been a crowd of people in a corner receiving medicinal soup.

The patients were emotionally unstable, but Doctor Du had a very good temperament. He remained calm and patient throughout, soothing their emotions before they left.

Turning to Gu Qingluan, he asked, “Miss, may I know—”

Gu Qingluan was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t recognize her?

After a moment of thought, she realized that there was no necessity for him to recognize her, and she hadn’t seen him before either.

“I’m Gu Qingluan.”

A look of realization crossed Doctor Du’s eyes, “So you’re the Guardian Princess. I’m Du Yuran. Nice to meet you.”

“Du Yuran… Your name suits you.” Gu Qingluan raised a corner of her lips.

Unlike the others, whether they were here for medical treatment or part of the Salvation Hall, who appeared anxious and restless, he, the one who had suspected an epidemic two days ago, showed no signs of panic or unease. He remained calm when dealing with patients, like a lotus in the mud, a hermit in the midst of chaos, seemingly detached from the world.

However, what he was doing was very grounded.

Gu Qingluan asked, “1 heard that you suspected someone had contracted an epidemic two days ago. Could you please explain the reasons behind your judgment?”

At that moment, a flushed-faced, coughing patient approached. “Doctor, please help me check. I’m definitely not infected with the epidemic, am 1?”

Doctor Du immediately replied, “Guardian Princess, I don’t have time to explain right now.’1

He didn’t get irritated by the continuous questions from the patient. She had only asked one question, and he found it bothersome?

This was the first time Gu Qingluan had received such treatment.

The doctor who guided Gu Qingluan earlier wasn’t far away, and he was eavesdropping. Upon hearing Doctor Du’s words, he widened his eyes instantly, looking at Gu Qingluan with fear, afraid that she might get angry and harm Doctor Du..
