Under Gu Youyou's vigorous control, the epidemic did not spread but was gradually brought under control.
King Jin now looked at her as if she were an enemy, yet he refrained from lashing out because Prince Qin and Searcy were always by Gu Youyou's side.
"Hmph, I see you've saved these people, but where do you get the grain to sustain them until the autumn harvest?"
Not causing trouble didn't mean he wouldn't occasionally hurl a few words at Gu Youyou to put her at a disadvantage.
Gu Youyou gave him a bland glance and said, "Your Highness King Jin, if we don't save them? Then, by your method of killing all the 'useless' ones, wouldn't we save on food, right?"
Gu Youyou never lost in a verbal spar.
King Jin snorted, "Naturally, those who are about to die should just die; it saves both food and medicine, wouldn't that be better? What we really need now are all sorts of materials, how can we waste them on them?"
