As the emperor rose from his bed, he sighed, saying that there had been no plague since he ascended the throne, except for one when he was still the crown prince, but it hadn't spread to so many places.
This time, however, an outbreak of plague occurred in four places, and each of them was a different plague, and the epidemic was severe.
"Your Majesty, it would be best to establish a crown prince. A country cannot be without a ruler for even a day."
Upon hearing Eunuch Su's words, the emperor sighed heavily once more.

“I have read many records about plagues in ancient books. If you trust me, please let me go with the Second Prince on this trip.”
