Chapter 69 Plague

We must move as soon as possible now and not give the emperor any opportunity to take advantage of us.

It was in the mountains not far away before, but this time it would take four hours to go back and forth, so it would be much slower to mobilize troops to help in the future.

"That's fine. Let's move them tonight. After they move, slowly spread the news and lure people over. Don't forget to find a hiding place."

Rongyu didn't understand what his master meant, but he believed that he would not be wrong, so he said "yes" and went out.

Just happened to meet Rong Yu: "Si Yu, have some midnight snack before leaving."

"No more eating. I have things to do. Your Highness, please go inside."

Siyu didn't say a word and just turned and left. Rongyu didn't have a chance to try to stop her.

When he pushed the door open, Ye Chenyin had already put away all his things. When he saw Rongyu coming in, he put on a gentle smile.

"Have you assigned Siyu any tasks? He doesn't even have time to eat. Be careful not to let him starve or he won't have anyone to work for you."

Rongyu put down the food and complained to Ye Chenyin.

Siyu is a few years younger than him, but she already lives a life of cattle and horses, even living a life of reversed day and night, which makes her so tired that she can't even grow.

Ye Chenyin chuckled, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He was really hungry. He only ate a little in the afternoon and hadn't eaten anything until now.

"It's not an important task, and he doesn't do any work. He's just responsible for supervision and passing on messages."

"I don't believe it. You're still out so late. You won't be able to sleep tonight."

Rongyu guessed correctly, Siyu has indeed been very busy recently.

Emperor Gan tried every possible means to kill Prince Jing's family. Everyone had to be on high alert, with four eyes taking turns watching them, and no one dared to relax for a moment.

The reason why Ye Chenyin could sit here safely after killing so many people was either because he was willing to take risks or because Emperor Gan didn't know his trump card.

Emperor Gan once sent the National Protection Army to capture Ye Chenyin and surrounded Prince Jing's mansion.

It took seven days to finally admit that Prince Jing's Mansion was even harder to enter than the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Gan withdrew his troops and took action in secret, waiting for the opportunity to capture the person.

Rongyu knew that Ye Chenyin was surrounded by enemies and he could not help much, so he could only focus on these small things.

"What evil is the dog emperor planning again?"

"Emperor Gan discovered that Ye Chenyin was raising private soldiers and wanted to arrest them all. Ye Chenyin wanted to transfer those people to a safe place overnight."

No wonder Siyu went out so late at night, it turns out she was busy with this.

Emperor Gan only cares about himself, and he will not be afraid as long as the knife is not on his neck.

Therefore, the people killed by Ye Chenyin only made Emperor Gan angry for a while. But private soldiers were different. He was afraid that Ye Chenyin would rebel. Regardless of the chances of winning, there was always a risk.

Furthermore, he was worried that Ye Chenyin would kill Ye Chenyuan, and the successor he had spent so much effort to train could not be destroyed like this.

Last time he came to fight Ye Chenming, this time he was fighting against Emperor Gan. The Ye family really only knew how to fight among themselves.

It's not anyone else's turn to interfere at all.

"How many private soldiers does Ye Chenyin have?"

Before, Ye Chenming seemed to have hundreds of people. Since Ye Chenyin dared to go against Emperor Gan, there must be a lot of people.

'About five thousand people.'

so much?

With such a big goal of 5,000 people, Ye Chenyin is really brave enough to keep so many people under his father's nose?

"Transferring five thousand people is no small matter. Does Ye Chenyin have any other plans?"

"He deliberately attracted the Emperor's attention, and then took it back."

Use the opponent's strategy against them and use their own opponent's force to counter their own.

It has to be him.

The next morning, before Ye Chenyin and Rongyu got up, Butler Cai banged on the door with an anxious tone.

It was rare to see Butler Cai act like this. Ye Chenyin hurriedly put on an outer coat and opened the door to go out.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened. There's been an outbreak in the capital, and the chef at our stir-fry restaurant has also been infected. The people causing trouble are saying they got sick from eating our food, and some are even starting to smash things."

The stir-fry restaurant was named Kou Ruo Xuan He by Rong Yu. After Rong Yu left, Ye Chen Yin has been running the restaurant with all his heart and it has always had a good reputation.

However, recently, for some unknown reason, a very severe disease broke out in Tianjing City. Ye Chenyin was busy fighting wits and courage with Emperor Gan and didn't pay much attention to it.

The people causing trouble must have been sent by Emperor Gan, so we have to deal with them now.

"Take a few people with you to arrest him. I will be there soon."

After saying that, Ye Chenyin turned around and went into the house to put on his clothes and go to the stir-fry restaurant together. However, before he could move, he was stopped by Butler Cai.

"Your Highness, this is impossible. I heard that this disease is a plague. The palace has already sent people to control the situation. However, I'm afraid those cooks who cooked the food are beyond saving."

They were among the first to be infected, and it had been three days. The palace sent people to ask for time, saying that developing a decoction to control the symptoms would take at least ten days, half a month, and there was no way they could wait that long.

Regardless of how good the food they cooked was, it would be heartbreaking to see them die at such a young age.

Ye Chenyin fell into deep thought. These few days were the most critical time. Rumors about the emperor were spreading everywhere. As long as he took action, he could use the rumors to his advantage. If he couldn't pull him down from the throne, at least he could add a piece of black material to the history books.

But now that the plague has broken out, no one cares about these things, and they will gradually fade away.

The plan that I had painstakingly planned with minimal effort was exposed just like that. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

"Tell the servants in the mansion not to go out. Put everything on hold until the plague is over. For the purchases, find a few skilled and strong people to go to the mansion. No one else needs to be involved. Buy more epidemic prevention medicines and give more to everyone, just in case."

After Ye Chenyin gave a few simple instructions, Butler Cai hurried off to do it.

The plague came with such force and at such a timely moment, Ye Chenyin frowned, hoping that his guess was not right.

No matter how selfish that person is, he cannot use the lives of the people as stepping stones. If that were the case, then his idea of ​​leaving a mark in history books would be too trivial.

If that is true, that person's death is not a pity.

Not long after, Siyu came back.

Fortunately, the transfer of 5,000 private soldiers was done overnight, otherwise they would not have been able to leave.

Now the city gates are locked and will not be opened without permission.

Many people in the city were afraid of being infected and tried desperately to escape, crowding at the city gate to beg.

Siyu said that the situation outside the city was not much better than inside, and even if they escaped, there was nowhere to hide.

"Prince Yan and Imperial Physician Shen must be going there now. You should take some people with you to help." Ye Chenyin said.

Siyu said yes and left.

Rong Yu woke up and listened to the system briefly explain the matter to him. He felt that this was a very good opportunity for Ye Chenyin to prove himself.

As long as more good deeds are done in the name of Ye Chenyin, the people will be grateful and his reputation will gradually improve.

As long as the people love Ye Chenyin, say good things about him, and remember his good deeds, then his blackening value will gradually decrease.

'Do you have a cure for the plague?'

"Of course I do. It's the same prescription as Doctor Wen's. I guarantee it'll work."

It would be easier if I had a prescription. I just needed to find a suitable opportunity to tell everyone that it was developed by Ye Chenyin.

After Ye Chenyin finished breakfast with Rongyu, he planned to go out to check the situation. He didn't want to take Rongyu with him because it was too dangerous outside.

He lied and said he had something to do.

"I heard everything you and Butler Cai said this morning." Rong Yu said bluntly.

I must go out with him, otherwise how can I help Ye Chenyin restore his reputation.

"Take me with you, maybe I can help."

Ye Chenyin really didn't want to take him with him. He was weak to begin with, and if he was infected, he would probably have trouble lasting more than three days.

What would he do then? He didn't want to experience the pain of missing someone for five months again.

Rong Yu knew that Ye Chenyin didn't want to take him with him, but he had to go.

"Your Highness, please take me with you. I promise to be obedient and not run around."

"No," Ye Chenyin said sternly, his expression serious, just like when they first met. Rong Yu was frightened and startled. He only heard Ye Chenyin say, "Wait for me to come back from the mansion."

Before Rong Yu could come to his senses, Ye Chenyin walked out.

What if I don't take him with me?

According to Ye Chenyin's personality, he would definitely find someone to watch him and not let him leave the house.

Rong Yu was in a dilemma. He didn't know any martial arts, so he couldn't climb walls or fly over rooftops, nor could he force his way out.

If he suddenly disappeared, Ye Chenyin would definitely be anxious, which would cause him trouble.

It seems that we can only think of a way to have the best of both worlds.

"Zao Zao, give me some medicine to temporarily suppress the pain. I'll go find Butler Cai."

You can't do it by force, you can only use wits.

Rongyu found Butler Cai, and as expected, Ye Chenyin had instructed him not to go out.

As soon as he called out to Butler Cai, Butler Cai ran away as if he had seen his ancestor.

Rong Yu quickly caught up and said bluntly, "Butler Cai, I'm relieved that His Highness is leaving the house. I have some self-defense medicine here. Go get it for His Highness to prevent him from being infected."

Butler Cai wanted to ask where you got the medicine, but then he thought, since you were dead for five months and came back to life, you must have some tricks up your sleeve.

But His Highness has instructed that the princess must not leave the house under any circumstances. The princess is the apple of His Highness's eye. If anything unexpected happens, his life will not be enough to compensate.

"Princess, please give the medicine to this old servant and I will take it to His Highness."

Butler Cai reached out to take it, but Rong Yu was not going to give it to him.

"Butler Cai, besides delivering medicine, I also want to see how the people in the city are doing. The plague is spreading like wildfire, and people are dying every moment. In order to quickly control it, I must see it with my own eyes so that I can prescribe the right medicine."

He was able to come back to life and keep his body intact for five months. He is definitely not an ordinary person.

Today, the people of Tianjing City and even the entire Tianquan are in panic. If the situation is not controlled early, the consequences can be imagined.

Butler Cai believed Rong Yu's words, but he cared more about his master's words.

If the princess had the ability to control the plague, he would be fine with a few scoldings afterwards. But if she didn't, and if she put the princess in danger again, he could imagine how the master would punish him.

Caught in a dilemma, Butler Cai could only sigh.

"Princess, is there really a way?" Butler Cai asked carefully.

"Please believe me, Butler Cai. I really have a way."

After the system update, everything is available, including the same prescription as Doctor Wen. This little plague can't be cured with just one medicine.

Rong Yu looked at Butler Cai with a firm and sincere gaze. Butler Cai seemed to be enveloped by golden light and was unable to open his eyes.
