She knows all too well the power of public opinion.
The group was talking about the various tabloids that had appeared in other prefectures.
Li Tongye rushed in, covering his face with his hat, clutching an urgent message in his hand, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened..."
"An epidemic has broken out!"

He hopes that Your Highness will save the lives of all the people in the village. On behalf of all the people of Xiao Yong Li, Xiu bows in gratitude!"
Xiao Zhixing took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Gentlemen, the flood is about to pass, but a plague has appeared. The real test is about to begin."
