A ray of sunlight penetrated through the thick clouds. The golden sunlight swept away the dark clouds in the sky and illuminated the haze in people's hearts. Since the flood, they finally saw a glimmer of hope and looked forward to the beauty of tomorrow.
Compared to the people who were looking forward to returning to their homes, Ye Zhen was not so optimistic.
The epidemic in An He Town was under control. With Mo Rongzhan's identity, he cremated the dead and quarantined the sick. Only then did the epidemic not spread. However, while the epidemic was under control here, other places were experiencing outbreaks of the epidemic.
"Ah Zhan …" Ye Zhen sat down beside Mo Rongzhan and checked their injuries. The wounds had begun to heal. They originally planned to leave here after the epidemic was under control and go to Canghai City to find Mingxi.
"Do you still not want to leave?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice. She spoke to him in such a hesitant tone and a sad face. There must be something she wanted to tell him.
Ye Zhen was surprised. "How do you know?"
"There's a plague." Although she had been to the Xuantian Continent, it was impossible for her to stay out of the affairs of the human world. She still had feelings and was easily soft-hearted.
Ye Zhen leaned into his arms. He really knew her too well. "I know you want to find a new gap, but … I can't ignore it."
"Then let's cure the plague first before leaving," Mo Rongzhan said.
"I'll ask Mingxi to wait for us in Tianjin City first." Ye Zhen said, "Then we'll go to China. The new gap might be in China. It's in the east."
"Alright." Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly.
That day when he went to check the crack, he found that the surrounding spiritual energy was being sucked away in the same direction. He followed the direction of the spiritual energy for a long time and found that it was all being sucked away in the east.
Along the eastern coast, the spiritual energy was still floating on the surface of the sea, as if it had turned into a stream of light and gathered in the east.
He was almost sure that there was a new gap in the human world.
However, he did not know the specific location.
Ye Zhen smiled sweetly at him and took the initiative to kiss his face a few times. However, thinking of the unpredictable epidemic, her eyes were tinged with worry. "I've asked my brother to send medicine to the affected areas with the epidemic. Two of the medicines are elixirs. We should be able to find them. What I'm worried about now is Yuan …"
"If Shui Yichen can't even do this, then he isn't worthy of you giving up your position." Mo Rongzhan indifferently said.
"That being said …" Ye Zhen frowned and suddenly said, "I think of something. I'll go out first."
Mo Rongzhan looked at her helplessly. "I haven't seen you for two days. Now that I've sat down and said a few words, you're leaving again."
Ye Zhen hugged his arm. "I'm going to find Lu Tingzhi and let him take the prescription to Yuan Country. He can also show his face in front of Shui Yichen. Wouldn't it be easier for him to stay in Yuan Country in the future?"
"Everything you say makes sense." Mo Rongzhan snorted.
"Wait for me to come back." Ye Zhen smiled and walked out of the door.
Ye Zhen came to see Lu Tingzhi. After a few days of rest, and with Ye Zhen's medicine, Lu Tingzhi's wounds recovered faster and he was able to walk around.
He was talking to Lu Xiangzhi.
Lu Xiangzhi was so busy that his feet were about to fly. It was not easy for him to squeeze time to visit Lu Tingzhi. The two brothers had not seen each other for too many years. Sitting together, they seemed to have endless things to talk about. They both tacitly did not mention Lu Lingzhi, who was no longer in the world. This person seemed to have become a taboo in the hearts of all the Lu family members.
"Third brother, brother." Ye Zhen came over and greeted them with a smile.
Seeing Ye Zhen, Lu Tingzhi's heart moved and he hurriedly stood up. "Why is Yao Yao here?"
"I have something to tell you." Ye Zhen said to Lu Tingzhi.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Lu Tingzhi was a little surprised, but his eyes were filled with surprise.
Lu Xiangzhi looked at Ye Zhen and whispered, "Yao Yao, those who have been infected with the plague in Ping An City have no recurrent fever."
"That's great." Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, as long as they pay attention to hygiene and drink more anti-epidemic medicine, they can avoid the terrible plague.
"However, other places are a little more serious …" Lu Xiangzhi looked at Ye Zhen hesitantly.
Ye Zhen nodded, "I came for this matter. Third brother, what did you think about what I told you before?"
Lu Tingzhi looked at Lu Xiangzhi, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so … let's go to Yuan Country for the examination."
Is this a promise? Ye Zhen's face lit up with joy. "That's great! How are your injuries now? Can you hurry?"
"I can't ride a horse, but I can still sit in a carriage." Lu Tingzhi said, looking at the bright and vivid expression on Ye Zhen's face, his mood also soared.
"Yao Yao, don't be so anxious. Let Third Brother go to Yuan Country." Lu Xiangzhi said.
Ye Zhen said, "I heard that Yuan Country is now suffering from the plague. I want Third Brother to bring the prescription to Shui Yichen. This way, he can not only solve Yuan Country's difficulties, but also make a contribution in front of Shui Yichen, which will always help his career in the future."
Lu Xiangzhi frowned and looked at Ye Zhen awkwardly.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Seeing Lu Xiangzhi's strange expression, Ye Zhen looked at him doubtfully.
"Not long ago, I received news that Shui Yichen ordered a massacre …" Lu Xiangzhi whispered.
Ye Zhen's face changed. "What did you say?"
"The epidemic in Yuan Country is more serious than here. I heard that many imperial doctors were sent, but even the imperial doctors were infected. Shui Yichen placed all the sick people in one city. If their condition did not improve in three days, he was ready to … massacre the entire city." Lu Xiangzhi knew what this news meant to Ye Zhen. He had planned to hide it from her.
"How can he do this!" Ye Zhen felt a surge of anger, which made her face change. "He actually wants to massacre the entire city!"
What did he think? Didn't Shui Yichen know? Those innocent people were already suffering from the disaster. Now, they were going to be killed just because they were sick. They still had a chance to live.
Could they avoid the natural disaster, but not the slaughter of the entire city?
"I can't let him do this!" Ye Zhen said angrily and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Lu Xiangzhi grabbed Ye Zhen's hand. "You're not going to find Shui Yichen, are you?"
Ye Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I am not the imperial concubine of Yuan Country, I can't let him kill innocent people like this."
"Will he listen to you?" Lu Xiangzhi said in a low voice. "Yao Yao, don't forget that he is now the emperor of Yuan Country, and you are the imperial concubine of Jin Country. You are in no position to ask him to do anything."
"I won't ask him to do anything. I will save those people." Ye Zhen said coldly.
