Zhou Zeyun glared at the kneeling magistrate, feeling a little disappointed with him. He wanted to kick Mei Ju down, but he managed to hold himself back with all his might.
"Listen, list, list! I thought you were a good official serving the country and the people, but I never expected that after suffering only one setback, your report would be discontinued, leading to such serious consequences. Even if the first report was suppressed, you could have submitted a second, third, and fourth one instead of working so hard here. When I came here, you even tried to cover up the plague. You have greatly disappointed me."
After Zhou Zeyun finished speaking, he didn't leave. He glanced at Mu Mu with hatred and said indifferently, "Get up and work with me to find a way to control the plague. The flood is not the worst yet. If the refugees spread, everything will be over."
Mei Ju quickly got up. Zhou Zhaonuan and the others heard everything at the door. The little girl rushed in immediately and said, "Brother."
The first time Zhou Zeyun saw Zhou Zhaonuan, he wasn't surprised, but astonished, and also filled with deep worry. He pulled Zhou Zhaonuan over and looked her over. "Nuannuan, why are you here? Are you tired from all this journey?"
Zhou Zhaonuan shook her head. "I'm not tired, brother. What is the plague? Could it be worse than a flood? Why are you so nervous? It's been strange all this time. There aren't many refugees near the capital, but the closer we get to you, the more refugees there are."
Zhou Zhaonuan spoke suspiciously. When Zhou Zeyun heard this, he thought that there was still hope. He didn't want to hide such a big thing from his sister. At this moment, he didn't care whether Zhou Zhaonuan had come into contact with people who had the plague. Zhou Zeyun pulled his sister up, sat aside, and spoke seriously.
"Nuannuan, listen to me. When I was reading a book before, I saw that the plague is an infectious disease that spreads very quickly. Now, I'm afraid both of us have this disease, so, sister, you really shouldn't come."
Zhou Zeyun sighed heavily, his face gloomy. On the contrary, Nuannuan was much more open-minded. "Brother, the princess is supported by the people of the world, and she should stand with the people. Since we can't go back, then Nuannuan won't go back for now. I will stay here with you, brother. When the plague is over, I will go back with you."
Zhou Zhaonuan was calm, and Zhou Zeyun forced a smile. He wanted to send his sister back, but such a big matter would affect the entire body, so he didn't dare to do it. He could only touch Zhou Zhaonuan's head and scold her.
"I'm telling you, you shouldn't have come, you little brat."
Nuan Nuan immediately refused to listen and slammed the table. "What a stinky girl! I think you are the stinky brother who only knows how to bully me. Just wait, when I get home, I will tell Daddy and Mommy and let them deal with you."
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
Looking at the angry little girl in front of him, he said lightly, "If they deal with me, I will steal your small treasury, steal all your small treasury, and leave you nothing. I know where your money is hidden."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
The little guy immediately hugged himself and took a step back. "No no no, brother, that won't do. I won't complain. That's all. If you dare to steal my little treasury, I... I will beat you to death."
As she spoke, Nuannuan punched Zhou Zeyun on the left shoulder. After a scream of "Ah", Zhou Zeyun's face was distorted.
"Nuannuan, Zhou Zhaonuan, just wait for me. After this is over, I want to duel with you."
Zhou Zhaonuan naturally wouldn't show weakness, and nodded shyly. "Okay, anyway, if I fight with you, if I win, Daddy will praise his daughter for being smart and capable. If I lose, Daddy will scold you for bullying your sister. Anyway, no matter what, I will win in the end."
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
He really thought about it carefully, it seemed that it had been like this since he was a child. His father was too partial to him. Fortunately, he had a mother who was not too partial to him, otherwise, his life would be too difficult.
Mei Ju, who was kneeling below, looked at the brother and sister who were fighting and quarreling, and actually felt that it was a blessing for the emperor to have such a pair of children.
"Alright, alright, Nuannuan, let's get down to business."
Zhou Zeyun pulled Zhou Zhaonuan's sleeve, and they sat down together. Seeing Zhou Zeyun spread out the paper, the little girl started grinding it for him.
Nuannuan asked leisurely, one hand on her chin.
"Brother, are you going to write a secret letter to Dad? Ask him to send more people over."
Zhou Zeyun replied with the look of a younger sister who understood Zhou Zhaonuan. "Yes, the plague is the most worrying thing right now. I need to ask Dad to send a few more doctors over, as well as silver and food for the refugees. Then there's the river here, we need to figure out how to properly manage it. And there's also the locust plague, so I'm afraid we'll need to send more people over."
Not long after, Zhou Zeyun finished writing the secret letter and handed it to the shadow guard beside him, asking him to deliver the letter by carrier pigeon.
Over there, Nuannuan was staring at Mei Ju until his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead before she stopped.
Oh, why do the King of Yan and the Princess like to stare at someone out of the blue?
"Brother, you said the plague is highly contagious?"
Zhou Zeyun didn't know what Zhou Zhaonuan meant, so she nodded. But Zhou Zhaonuan said solemnly,
"Brother, let's seal off all the places within a radius of 100 miles where the Anshan refugees have been. Only people are allowed in, not out. This will definitely slow down the spread of the disease."
Zhou Zeyun's heart lit up, and he patted Nuannuan's shoulder excitedly.
"That's amazing, my sister. Why didn't I think of that just now? You must have been so angry about the enumeration that you got confused."
enumerate:"......"
He had a bitter face, and was angry but dared not say anything as he thought, "Your Highness Prince of Yan, even if you don't want to be humiliated by your sister, you don't have to make fun of him."
Zhou Zeyun hurriedly sat back down, planning to write another secret letter. Calculating the time, he thought that the carrier pigeon would be fast and it would take about two days to go back and forth, so he wrote faster.
Zhou Zhaonuan curled her lips and walked straight forward, snatched the half-written secret letter from Zhou Zeyun and tore it up.
"Nuannuan, what are you doing?"
Zhou Zeyun lost his temper. Zhou Zhaonuan raised her head, showing no fear, and directly retorted him. The little girl said slowly, "What kind of secret letter are you writing? How long will it take to go back and forth?"
Zhou Zeyun helplessly spread her hands, looking innocent. Nuannuan resisted rolling her eyes countless times and took out a death-proof gold medal from her sleeve with a smile, "Look, don't you have this, my sister? Just use it to issue orders. Add my princess seal, and if anything happens, even if the sky falls, I will be your sister to support you."
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
To be honest, he was sometimes quite envious of his sister. Although his sister got beaten the most, his father gave almost everything good and valuable to his sister.
