The sky was dark and gloomy, and dark clouds covered the city. The sun was not visible, and the air was gloomy, as if everything was immersed in an atmosphere of despair.
This city is Dongning City.
The soldiers were guarding the city strictly and the city gates were blocked, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
There was despair in the city.
The infectious disease spread throughout the city, and almost all the people were infected. They had fever all over their bodies and kept coughing, and no matter what medicine they took, they could not be cured. When the coughing reached a certain intensity, it was fatal.
The people were extremely panic-stricken and lived in fear every day. They were trapped in the city like animals, unable to escape or get out, and could only wait to die.
Extremely desperate.
Today, a ray of hope shone in the center of the city:
Prince!
The man stood on the high platform, like a savior descending from the sky, and announced good news to the people of the city:
"Fellow villagers, after several days and nights of sleepless research, the imperial doctors have finally developed an effective prescription! As long as you take it, the disease will be cured!"
"ah!!"
When these words were spoken, the whole city was shocked.
Screaming, excited, thrilled... everyone's eyes turned red, and they desperately squeezed forward:
"Really!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is such a good man, such a good man!"
"You braved the danger and traveled all the way to Dongning City to save us. You are our adopted parent and lifesaver. We will work like slaves for you and never be able to repay you!"
"Your Highness!"
They stretched out their hands excitedly, kept shouting "Prince", and all eyes were on the man, in full swing.
The people are in favor of it and their morale is high.
Zong Zhengyu glanced at the crowd of people, and his thin lips curled up in a satisfied arc.
good.
This is exactly the effect we want.
He glanced at Gong Zhenhong and said, "Bring the medicine up."
"Yes." Gong Zhenhong was holding two medicine bowls filled with freshly cooked medicine.
When the people saw the medicine, they wanted to fight for it.
Zong Zhengyu said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone has one, and it's free!"
Gong Zhenhong also said: "Everyone, please line up properly and don't disrupt the order. Be careful not to cause secondary accidental injuries. This is the good intention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I hope everyone will cooperate!"
The prince is the people's hope for survival, so the people stand very obediently, looking at the prince with expectant eyes.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a good man!
Gong Zhenhong picked two civilians, a young man and a middle-aged woman, and asked them to take the medicine first.
Interviewing the prince in front of everyone can not only win the hearts of the people, but also demonstrate the prince's merits.
After this incident, the prince is popular among the people. How long will it take for him to ascend the throne?
The people looked expectantly at the two people who had taken the medicine:
"We are saved!"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the savior sent by God. He has saved hundreds of thousands of lives in our Dongning City!"
"Very good……"
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman trembled all over, her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Before they could figure out what was going on, the young man who had taken the medicine suddenly looked pale, spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and died on the spot.
“Oh my god!!”
The people's eyes widened in fear.
Isn’t it a life-saving medicine?
How could it become a fatal poison!
Zong Zhengyu was also stunned for a moment, "How could it be..."
I walked up quickly and found that the two men had already died.
He was stunned.
How could the antidote fail?
Gong Zhenhong was also surprised. The drug maker was their man and they were trustworthy enough so there was no way he would make such a mistake. But how could this happen...even he was confused.
This plague is highly contagious. If the antidote doesn't work, then they'll just have to stay here...
not good!
His face darkened, and he rushed to Zong Zhengyu and grabbed his hand:
"Your Highness, this place is dangerous. Quick! Get out of the city!"
If you don’t know how to take medicine and get sick, you will die!
Zong Zhengyu naturally thought of this, and without taking time to consider the issue of the antidote's ineffectiveness, he retreated in a hurry.
When the people saw this, they panicked:
"Your Highness!"
"Where are you going!"
"Don't abandon us!"
