When meeting with the Ninth Prince, the Emperor discussed matters with him without avoiding mentioning Concubine Li and Jun Baozhu.
The emperor looked at the ninth prince carefully, and confirmed that he was not injured. Then his expression changed slightly, revealing his heartache.
This was the first time that the Ninth Prince saw the Emperor in such an expression after he had untied his heart knot.
In my impression, my father was a great man, like a mountain, and he rarely showed his emotions, especially when he was distressed, or to himself...
The emperor looked at his son in front of him, delighted with his growth, but at this moment, seeing the way he looked at him...
Only then did I realize that he was still a child who longed for his father's attention and care.
The emperor felt regretful and wondered if this realization came too late.
【Ninth Prince Brother! 】
[Are you okay? I was so worried about you! ]
When Jun Baozhu's voice was heard, the tent suddenly became much more lively.
The emperor did not live in the Prince Cheng's mansion, but instead moved into the former camp of the Dongzhao Army with the ninth prince.
The Ninth Prince couldn't suppress a smile on his face. The moment he saw Jun Baozhu, he was happier than when he saw his father.
As for the other things, he had long wanted to reach out and hug her, but he was worried that his father would ask him something, and he was also worried that the smell on his body would bother Jun Baozhu.
[Hold me! Ninth Prince, hold me!]
Jun Baozhu raised her chin and looked at her brother, the Ninth Prince.
Concubine Li laughed and when she approached, the Ninth Prince came towards her with his arms open, but he did not rush into her arms.
"Are you not afraid of your brother's smell?"
The one who answered him was Jun Baozhu's little head.
The Ninth Prince smiled widely and lifted Jun Baozhu up high, which scared the Emperor.
Before Concubine Li could speak, the emperor reminded him not to scare his sister...
However, Jun Baozhu, who was held high up, kept giggling, and there was no sign of being scared.
The atmosphere in the tent became more relaxed, and even the Ninth Prince himself did not realize that this was the first time he smiled since leaving the capital...
When the shadow guard came back, Concubine Li, Jun Baozhu, and the Ninth Prince were all present. They reported the situation at the front line and the Fourth Prince's instructions.
The fourth prince firmly opposed the emperor's arrival and reminded the ninth prince to send the emperor back.
In addition to the power of the puppet army, the more terrifying thing is that the plague has spread.
The two guards sent by the Fourth Prince to gather information heard the news at the border and passed it across the air, then they collapsed that night...
[Is the plague so severe? ]
Jun Baozhu frowned and couldn't help asking the system.
Hearing the system's response, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
[The spread of plague is like termites eating away at trees? ]
[Can everyone be infected within two or three days? ]
[No matter how powerful the puppet is, it is only because it is unconscious and has incredible killing power...]
[The poisonous insect is dangerous, but it can only harm the recipient itself...]
[But the plague, in addition to harming people, can also spread through the wind, infect livestock, and harm food and drinking water? ]
[So, even healthy adults can be infected with the plague if they eat infected food or drink infected water? ]
[The whole city is infected, there is no doctor to treat it, the medicine is infected, and everyone can only wait to die? ]
【Throughout the ages, villages that were infected with diseases had to be sealed off, with all infected people and animals sealed off, and they could not be opened for several years?】
As for the epidemic, the Ninth Prince had only heard about it, and he learned more from Jun Baozhu's voice.
He looked at the emperor, a little hesitant, how to persuade his father to take Concubine Li and his sister back...
But the system spoke at this time, and the analysis was decisive. Jun Baozhu thought:
[Father will not go back? The Great Witch Doctor must have figured it out?]
After the secret guards left, the emperor and the ninth prince all looked at Jun Baozhu.
They left Beijing in a hurry, and even with all the manpower of the Imperial Pharmacy, the amount of medicine powder produced was very limited. It was mainly used for self-defense and life-saving, and there was no time to make medicine for epidemic prevention.
The prince arranged for all the medicinal materials in stock in the imperial pharmacy to be used up, and also ordered several doctors and medicine boys to accompany the emperor and Concubine Li.
While the Emperor was discussing with the Ninth Prince, Concubine Li hurried out to arrange for the preparation of anti-epidemic and therapeutic medicines.
[What should we do? The epidemic has already broken out. Are we just going to watch Nan Chi's puppet army grow stronger? ]
Jun Baozhu couldn't hide her worry, and her mood improved slightly after listening to the system analysis.
[As long as we keep a certain distance from the epidemic area like the fourth prince, the epidemic will not spread here? ]
[The key is to strengthen personnel management and do a good job of isolation? ]
[The witch doctor doesn’t take people’s names seriously, but she can’t do without them. Should we not be afraid? ]
【How do you say it? 】
[An army of puppets? They need a lot of human bodies to supply energy? ]
[Although the puppets and the Xiangshan Kingdom soldiers are now hiding underground, the spread of the plague is with the wind and the air? ]
[The guard we inquired about fell down on the same day. Does this mean that the epidemic in Nanchi has shown a trend of spreading? ]
[The news reaches the puppets and Xiangshan soldiers hiding underground, and it will be there soon. ]
[Puppets don't need to eat or drink, they only need a donor, and they provide energy through blood supply...]
[But the soldiers of Xiangshan State are living people. They need to eat and drink. Once the food and drinking water are contaminated, how long can they last? ]
[Even if he was made into a puppet by the witch doctor before his death, where can he find a donor to provide blood energy for the puppet? 】
[Xiangshan Country? If they arrive, will Xiangshan Country also be infected with the plague? ]
[In the end, no one will be spared on this continent. The living will die, and the puppets will be reduced to ashes without energy. The survivors...]
