Pretty Consort: Prince, Don’t Run away - C144
The child looked at them timidly, his eyes wide with fear.
From the looks of it, he was afraid.
Seeing this, Lu Ming also coughed and said to the doctor, “Doctor, please trouble the child to take a look.”
When the doctor heard this, he shook his hand and said, “This old man has already seen it before. This child’s fate is great, so he isn’t infected. However, it was a bit strange that she couldn’t speak. This child was neither sick nor suffering … “He seems to be frightened …”
When the old doctor finished speaking, he too sighed, “I really don’t know what sin it is.”
Hearing that, Song Chongjing and Lu Ming looked at each other, both of them thinking of something, and shook their heads.
At this moment, the old doctor cupped his hands towards the two of them and said, “If there’s nothing else, then this old man will be leaving now to invite people over.”
“Sir, please.” Song Chongjing nodded.
“Your Highness, please leave as well. This plague can be very large or small, you cannot stay here for too long.” As for these two, your subordinate will arrange for people to move them to the small garden in the east city. That place is quiet and distant, so it shouldn’t be a problem, but … It’s not easy to send someone to take care of him, but I’m afraid that the doctor will have to put in a lot of effort. ”
The old man was someone that Song Chongjing had befriended, but he did not know nor did he dare to say anything.
Song Chongjing nodded: “I know.”
At the moment, his face was gloomy and was about to drip water. This plague was not a small matter, and he had discovered it outside the city.
There were quite a few people there. If the infection were to spread, the capital would definitely suffer.
“It’s just that the plague has come in a strange way. The plague has always occurred after the great disasters in the past, but the calamity isn’t present in the capital these days …” Lu Ming was a little confused.
“This matter… You don’t have to ask. ” After Song Chongjing heard this, he shook his head with a gloomy face.
He knew in his heart that if the plague had come after the disaster, it might have come from the barracks outside the city.
A large portion of the soldiers in the military camp had already fallen ill. Previously, they only thought that it was due to hunger and had frozen hands, but now that they looked at the soldier, he did not look much different from the people in the room …
If that was the case, the situation would be even more serious than they had thought.
But now, it was a mess. He wanted to enter the imperial palace to explain the theory, but the emperor …
Seeing him like that, Lu Ming understood a little, he more or less knew about the army camp, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
But if so… He turned his head and looked like Ka Song Chongjing, but in the end, he could only shake his head and sigh: “The heavens and earth are heartless.”
This sigh, when heard by Song Chongjing, did not feel good at all.
Just as the two of them were deep in thought, they suddenly heard a light sound coming from the sky outside. They almost immediately turned their heads to look and saw a white light flashing across the sky.
In the gradually darkening sky, the white light was especially dazzling.
Seeing that, Song Chongjing’s face darkened, after looking carefully, a look of panic flashed past his eyes. Almost as soon as the white light disappeared, he immediately shouted, “Men!”
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, the guards had already rushed over and knelt in front of him. “Your Highness, it’s bad. The fire is very fierce, our people… I can’t get in. ”
“What!” After Song Chongjing heard this, he stretched out his hand to grab the man’s collar, and he suddenly lost his composure.
This guard was also startled as he had never seen him in such a state before. He hurriedly added, “But don’t worry, the people who specialize in qinggong are already gone. They will definitely be able to bring the wangfei out safely.”
It was only after hearing these words that Song Chongjing calmed down a bit, but his tone was still a little hurried: “Prepare the horse, I want to go over.”
As he said that, he turned around. When he walked away, his footsteps were a bit messy.
Lu Ming stood behind him and looked at him, frowning for a moment, then followed him out.
However, he did not arrive at the outskirts of the city. Instead, he quietly arrived at the entrance of the Third Prince’s manor by himself.
“It seems that you servants aren’t necessarily as obedient as you say.” Fortunately, Xi Mengyao was relaxed and comfortable, as she leaned back on her chair to tease her.
She looked out the window at the fire and couldn’t help sighing in her heart.
If this fire were to continue, the exquisite sculptures and paintings would be destroyed in an instant. Most of this old man’s wealth would probably be destroyed at this moment as well.
Thinking about it, she turned around to look at Ministry Councillor Liu.
The old man’s face had already turned pale white, as if he did not hear Xi Mengyao’s words. His hands were trembling as if he was about to unlock the door and exit.
At this moment, Xi Mengyao raised his eyebrows and laughed: “If you go out now, no one will come to save you. With such a huge fire, there must be someone behind all this.”
The old man came back to his senses when he heard this. Looking at Xi Mengyao who was just watching and laughing, his face revealed a look of annoyance, “Esteemed wangfei, you really have nothing to do with yourself! “Now that my family is like this, you still have the mood to make sarcastic remarks.”
“Why can’t you say such sarcastic words?”
However, Xi Mengyao acted as if he didn’t care at all. Seeing him act this way, she also slowly stood up, and then wrapped her arm around his shoulders and pushed his head towards the window, pointing in a direction. “See there?”
When she said this, her tone finally turned serious.
The old man did not know why, but when he turned around, he saw three people squatting at the corner. They were the stewards he trusted the most!
It used to be when they opened the first restaurant, but they always followed him around.
The three of them were sneakily standing in a corner, holding a barrel of oil in one hand. At this moment, they were pouring it onto the uncombustible red wooden pillar.
“This thing… This, what is going on? ”
Before he could even finish speaking, Xi Mengyao had pinched his shoulder and pulled him back in case he got hurt from the fire, “Not only that.”
“Look at the servants in your mansion, not a single one of them will listen to you. If you go out now, I’m afraid you will be captured immediately,” Xi Mengyao said, releasing her hand, and looked at her: “Tell me, who exactly did you offend? You actually got such retribution? ”
The old man still wanted to go over. Xi Mengyao could only frown: “You wouldn’t listen to me, but if something happens, I won’t be able to take responsibility.”
As he spoke, his face turned cold.
When Ministry Councillor Liu heard it, his lips only trembled and stopped moving. He didn’t know how to deal with this matter. He only felt that his head was spinning and he couldn’t believe it at all.
Seeing that, Xi Mengyao sighed: “I’m afraid that your place is not your familiar house anymore.”
As he said that, he turned around and took a pearl from the pot. In front of Ministry Councillor Liu, he threw it out, and saw that pearl suddenly exploded, causing all of the broken fragments to quickly melt on the ground.
