Chapter 118: Smallpox Reappears
Shen Wan was surprised.
I haven't seen this little green tea for just one day, how come he has become like a crutches?
The only thing to blame is the three prince's two guards for being too ruthless. They said they would throw it out, but they actually threw it out, and they threw it with great force!
Poor little Green Tea was so weak and delicate that she was thrown several meters away by them, and her right leg was broken.
When Shen Yan saw the clown girl standing here in one piece, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
But she just glared at him hatefully and walked straight towards the old tutor.
She pretended to be pitiful and cried, "Master Taifu, please, for the sake of our relationship as teacher and student, lend me some money so I can find a doctor."
"Look at my legs..."
"I'm still young, I don't want to be a cripple!"
Seeing how pitiful she was, the old tutor's eyes softened.
He was about to speak when the sound of horse hooves came from not far away.
Looking up, it was the third prince.
The red spots on his face had disappeared completely, revealing a beautiful face as smooth as jade.
In the sunlight, he looks even more holy and noble.
When enemies meet, they are especially jealous of each other.
Xie Mubai subconsciously clenched his fists, his sharp nails digging deep into his palms.
His hand hurt, but it was not even a ten-thousandth as painful as the pain in his heart!
The yellow sand flying all over the sky at Yumen Pass and the wronged souls of 100,000 soldiers seemed to be crying in my ears at this moment!
And all this is thanks to the seemingly bright and handsome man in front of me!
Shen Wan keenly noticed his abnormality.
She didn't say anything, but just held his cold big hand.
Under the gazes of the crowd, the Third Prince dismounted from the carriage and bowed gracefully to the old Grand Tutor. "I came here to bid you farewell, but I never thought the young lady would be leaving too."
"Coincidentally, Xiao Wang is also heading northwest. Perhaps we can look after each other on the way."
The old tutor hummed, but said nothing.
To be honest, he was more optimistic about the third prince as a son-in-law.
But a girl cannot be kept at home when she grows up, so who made her go into exile with that little fox?
Seeing how indifferent he was, the Third Prince didn't know what to say.
At this time, his eyes fell on Xie Mubai.
He glanced at the wheelchair and smiled gently, "Thank you, brother. Long time no see."
Xie Mubai ignored him.
"Don't be offended, Third Prince." Seeing this, Shen Wan hurriedly smiled and said, "He is just like that. He doesn't like to talk to people."
"If you don't believe me, ask the Grand Tutor. It's harder than climbing to heaven to get him to give you one more word!"
Is it difficult?
The old lady Fu Te wanted to step forward and question a certain clown girl.
You said your man doesn't like to talk. Doesn't your conscience hurt?
If it weren't for him, would I have been so angry that my heart almost exploded?
"That's true." The Third Prince smiled calmly, "Brother Xie has always been like this."
"With old friends by my side, I believe this journey will not be lonely."
He certainly won't be lonely.
Along the way, the villain will always be thinking about him.
After the pleasantries, the group marched towards the city gate in a mighty procession.
"Then what should I do?" Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Shen Yan couldn't help but get anxious.
At this time, the old tutor had already closed the door and obviously didn't intend to pay any more attention.
In desperation, she could only follow the exile team on crutches.
Perhaps, I can even ask the Third Prince to compensate for some medical expenses!
As the group reached the city gate, they saw a group of police officers rushing past with their faces covered with towels.
Shen Wan was shocked.
Before anyone could react, the heavy city gate slammed shut.
"Brother, what happened?" Hu Dahai hurried forward and asked, "When will the city gates open? I still have to escort the prisoners to the northwest."
The official's face was sullen, and his hoarse voice was clearly filled with panic: "Smallpox has appeared in the east of the city. To prevent the spread of the plague, the county magistrate has ordered the city gates closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression suddenly changed.
After hearing this, several timid women were so scared that they burst into tears.
They had just escaped from Niujia Village, but unexpectedly they were trapped here again. Could it be that they could never escape the shadow of smallpox in this life?
"How could smallpox suddenly appear?" The third prince asked with a barely perceptible panic in his eyes.
Seeing that he was dressed in unusual clothes, the officer answered truthfully: "I heard that it was infected by a merchant returning from the capital."
"The capital?" The third prince's eyes tightened.
The officer nodded: "That's right."
"I don't know what's going on lately, but there have been several outbreaks of smallpox in various places."
"I advise you to go back quickly. The city will be under martial law soon and no one will be allowed in."
Go back, where to go?
The city is full of viruses now, where is there a safe place?
After receiving the news, the old tutor immediately sent people to bring back Shen Wan and his wife as well as the third prince, and discussed countermeasures with the county magistrate.
The third prince has the most noble status, and everyone's eyes are on him, hoping that he can make a decision.
"Let's leave this matter to you, young lady." He thought for a moment and suddenly laughed. "Young lady, you are well versed in medicine. It would be best if you could take charge of this matter."
Yes, he did it on purpose.
Ever since he threw Chen Yan out of the inn, he had been thinking about this matter over and over again, and the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
Although there was no definite evidence, he still felt that the Joker girl was involved in his poisoning.
"Okay!" Shen Wan didn't refuse and looked at him with a smile, "But this matter will be easier to handle if you, the Third Prince, step in."
Haha, it’s true that she is stupid, but not dumb.
Since the male protagonist insisted on pushing her into danger, she didn't mind playing along with him.
"I don't know any medical skills." The third prince flatly refused when he heard this.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "You don't need to know medical skills."
"Now that smallpox has suddenly broken out in the city, the people must be in a state of panic."
"At times like this, we need a stabilizing force."
"If the most senior person in the county came out to appease the people at this time, it would definitely reduce the fear in everyone's hearts."
"My adoptive father is too old, and the county magistrate is busy with other things. Besides, they don't have your charisma."
"You are the Third Prince, beloved by the people of Wei. As long as you raise your voice, the people will surely trust the government and believe that we can successfully survive this plague."
Looking at the little mouth opening and closing, the third prince suddenly felt as if he had dug a hole and buried himself.
"Xiao Wang is not good at talking..." He looked obviously flustered.
The people here haven't been vaccinated, so wouldn't he be courting death if he went there?
But after only half a sentence, the old tutor had clearly seen the fear in his heart.
He is afraid and retreats when encountering such things. How can such a person be qualified to be the future emperor of Wei!
"It's okay, you can say whatever you want." Shen Wan smiled like a cunning little fox, "As long as the people see you, they will feel at ease."
At this point, the third prince was in a difficult situation.
Go, danger!
No go, no throne!
So, is he going or not?
