"No! Sister... Waaah... Sister..."
I frowned and glanced at the orange that had rolled out of the little boy's arms. After rolling a few times on the ground, it lay there, already moldy, covered in a layer of green fuzz.
Suddenly, inspiration struck me; something clicked into my thoughts.
I walked over and said, "Kids, this is for you."
The woman glanced warily at the egg in my hand, then reached out and immediately took it.
After peeling it, I put it in my younger brother's hand. His dirty little hands quickly took it, and he wolfed it down in just a few bites.
Suddenly remembering that her sister hadn't eaten, she looked at her with guilt. "Sister..."
I picked up the orange from the ground. "This... if you help me find this kind of orange, I'll give you food, okay?"
The older sister's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded.
In the blink of an eye, the two people disappeared.
Instead of returning to the inn, I went back to the quarantine area.
"Miss Liu, you said we're going to make penicillin now?" Dr. Chen was very puzzled; he had never heard of this before.
“Yes.” I nodded. “It’s penicillin, produced through food fermentation. As long as we have penicillin, their illness can be cured.”
"Really?" Ye Wanwan asked excitedly, somewhat incredulously. "Then, Doctor Liu, what do we need to do now?"
"Take out our fruits and put them in a damp, dark place to ferment." After saying that, they quickly got to work.
"Dr. Liu, Dr. Liu..."
A sound came from outside the door.
I rushed out the door.
A group of women were smiling at me as they carried baskets filled with moldy food.

Hehe... Here's an updated chapter!
Chapter 24 A Big Misunderstanding
"Father, you've come..."
I was quite moved as I looked at my father, who had traveled a long way to get here.
Then Dugu Jing arrived, "Lord Liu..."
Liu Mengjun: "Daughter, I have something to discuss with the Fourth Prince. Please come inside."
I nodded. The matter of the plague patients has probably been resolved now. I hope that Dad won't encounter anything bad here.
Suddenly I noticed white doves flying in from a distance.
He immediately got up and chased after them.
The letter was taken from the pigeon.
After reading the content, he frowned slightly.
What's going on? The old lady had arranged for Liu Mengshi and Lin Ruixuan to get married on the fifth of the month after next, but Liu Mengshi is threatening suicide to avoid the marriage. This is truly bizarre. Later, the story mentions Princess Mela, who is reportedly looking for someone and asking Baihualou for help.
I noticed something at the end of the letter: it mentioned Lu Yiheng, saying that he is now the Crown Prince's most trusted subordinate.
this……
"What's wrong?"
I quickly stuffed the letter into my clothes, saying with a relaxed smile, "It's nothing."
Dugu Jing took a step closer without showing any emotion. "I've discussed it with Lord Liu. You should go back tomorrow."
I nodded; I had a lot of things to take care of at Baihualou.
After traveling for several days, I'm finally back.
"Qiu Niang, arrange a room for me and bring over a bucket of hot water."
Qiu Niang hurriedly sent someone to give the order.
Soaking in hot water helped ease some of the fatigue from the past few days.
I was in the middle of meditation when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Somewhat reluctantly, he raised his head and asked, "What is it?"
"Master, it's the imperial court; they're here to inspect Baihualou."
A search? I suddenly remembered what Qiu Niang had told me: because of the previous riots, several officials had lost their lives. The Emperor was particularly disgusted by this and wanted to prevent any further riots, issuing arrest warrants for those involved, thus putting the entire city under lockdown.
I got out of the water and put on my bathrobe.
"master?"
Qiu Niang looked at the woman in front of her with some surprise. Her jet-black hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, and a white bathrobe covered her beautiful figure. Her eyes were slightly damp.
He seemed oblivious to the reactions of those around him.
I slowly went downstairs.
If they really continue to investigate like this, what business will Baihualou be able to conduct?
Sure enough, the soldiers started arguing, and some even attacked the signboard directly.
"stop!"
The visitor was taken aback.
Only then did I notice the man in the blue official robe, Lu Yiheng, tall and elegant, with delicate features that surpassed even those of a woman.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Moon?" she called softly, seemingly unsure.
A middle-aged man with calculating eyes stepped out from behind him. "Who are you? The top courtesan of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion?" His eyes gleamed with inquiry.
Qiu Niang rushed out, "This is our mistress of Baihua Tower."
Lu Yiheng was stunned for a moment, and the man next to him patted him, "Lord Lu, don't forget why you came here today."
Lu Yiheng narrowed his long eyes for a moment, a thoughtful light appearing in them. "Come in." With a wave of his hand, a group of people rushed inside.
As soon as the soldier entered, he became lecherous and started flirting with the girls in the building.
"Ah, ahh..."
The girls in the building were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.
"Master..." Qiu Niang called out worriedly.
I walked coldly to Lu Yiheng's side.
"Lu Yiheng!!"
Lu Yiheng silently drank his wine, while the middle-aged man sat down, his eyes crinkling into a smile. "Investigate thoroughly..."
I continued to look at her. "Are you just going to let them do whatever they want here?"
Lu Yiheng looked away from me.
Qiu Niang was very anxious and quickly told all the girls to go upstairs.
The middle-aged man glanced at Lu Yiheng and said, "Since you've come to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, Lord Lu, why not have some fun?" As he spoke, he pulled the girl next to him into his arms, his hand going down from her collar, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
Lu Yiheng slowly put down his cup. "Come here."
Qiu Niang quickly stepped forward and said, "Lord Lu, why don't we bring Sasha here? Sasha..."
