Upon hearing this, the officials looked at Richard.
"Sir, you just thought it was someone sent from above, didn't you?"
"Um!"
Richard nodded.
Then he looked at the soldier.
"Since they caught a cold, then don't let them in."
"Yes, sir, but..."
"However, she said she could cure the plague."
"Nonsense, is the plague so easy to cure? We have so many doctors in Jiangnan who can't cure it. What can an outsider do? He's probably just saying this on purpose to get into the city."
Upon hearing Richard's words, the officer felt that they made sense.
However, at this time...
The governor of Jiangnan, Chen Tai'an, thought for a moment and said, "Sir, since that person says he can cure it, why don't we go and ask him? After all, Jiangnan is already in such a state."
If we don't find a solution soon, there might be a riot, and then we might all lose our lives!
"Yes! Your Excellency is right."
After hearing this, Richard thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, then you may come with me to see him."
"Yes, sir."
"Are those people still at the city gate?"
"Yes, sir. They should still be here. I told them to wait when I came."
"Alright, let's go! Lead the way."
"yes."
Then.
Richard and all the officials then moved toward the city gate.
After they arrived, they went straight up to the city wall and looked down.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng, Qin Mohan, and the others were still waiting in the same spot.
"Sir, it's just these few people."
The officer pointed at Ye Qingcheng and her group, and said to Richard.
Richard nodded, then looked down and asked, "People below, I heard from you that you can cure the plague?"
Ye Qingcheng, Qin Mohan, and the others heard the voice coming from above the city wall.
They all looked up.
The moment Qin Mohan looked up and saw Richard, he said, "Richard, you have quite the airs of an official!"
Um?
Upon hearing this, Richard paused for a moment, then looked at it carefully and shuddered.
"Your Highness..."
After saying that.
He turned around quickly and flew down the city wall.
The officials who followed him were taken aback when they heard him say "Your Highness," but then they quickly followed him down the city wall.
"Quickly...quickly open the city gates."
As soon as Richard descended the city wall, he shouted anxiously at the soldiers guarding the city.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers quickly opened the city gates.
After the city gates were opened.
Richard strode out, came to Qin Mohan, patted his sleeves, and knelt down.
"Your Highness, this humble subject pays his respects."
The officials who followed him out also knelt down in alarm.
"Your Highness, this humble subject pays his respects."
The soldiers also knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Qin Mohan glanced at everyone and said, "Get up, all of you!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
After everyone finished responding, they stood up.
Meanwhile, the soldier who had given the report earlier wiped the sweat from his forehead, still shaken.
Goodness, I was smart enough, otherwise I might be beheaded by now. Offending the prince is a capital offense!
Richard bowed and looked at Qin Mohan.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
"Hmm? I can't come?"
"Ah? No, this humble subject wouldn't dare. It's just that the Emperor said he had sent an imperial envoy."
"Yes! It is me and my queen."
What?
"Your Highness, are you joking? How could someone of your noble status be an imperial envoy?"
"What? Does being an imperial envoy equate to being lowly?"
"No...no...that's not what I meant. I just didn't want Your Highness to be overworked."
"Alright, alright, tell me! What exactly is going on with this plague?"
"Your Highness, a few days ago, someone in Guangling City suddenly developed a high fever that wouldn't go down, coughed incessantly, and even fell into a coma."
Then one after another, people began to show the same symptoms. Gradually, the symptoms spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and then people started to die.
Even now, in the eight cities of Jiangnan, except for Jinling, the other seven are filled with death.
"People are dying everywhere?"
"Yes."
"You scoundrel! Why didn't you report such a serious matter to the imperial court?"
"Your Highness, I am innocent! As soon as the plague broke out, I submitted a memorial to the emperor, which said that an imperial envoy had been dispatched."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan frowned slightly.
Is Father Emperor planning to hand over the plague matter directly to Qing'er?
Thinking of this.
Qin Mohan sighed.
Well, that's true. I suppose only Qing'er can cure the plague!
"Have you found a doctor to help those infected with the plague stabilize their condition?"
"Your Highness, the doctors are all helpless. Some of them have even been infected themselves. Now there are only a few doctors who have some medical ethics and are willing to risk their lives to help treat those with milder symptoms."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan frowned deeply.
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows and asked, "I just heard that soldier say that you've isolated those infected in Jinling City, is that right?"
Upon hearing Ye Qingcheng's question, Richard looked at her.
"What a beautiful woman," she exclaimed, then looked at Qin Mohan.
"Your Highness, who is this young lady...?"
"She is my queen."
What? The Princess?
Upon hearing this, Richard trembled and then knelt down again.
"Your humble servant pays respects to Your Highness. I deserve to die for failing to recognize Your Highness in time. Please forgive me."
"Your humble servant greets Your Highness."
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Alright, get up, everyone!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
After they got up...
Ye Qingcheng looked at Richard again.
"Let's go! Take me to see those who are infected with the plague."
"What? Your Highness, do you want to see those infected with the plague?"
"That's right, let's go!"
"This...Your Highness, you absolutely mustn't! That plague is extremely contagious; your precious body cannot be infected! Otherwise, I will be held responsible!"
Ye Qingcheng glanced at Richard: "Don't worry! It's just a minor plague. Take me to see those people first to confirm if it's really the plague."
"This... Your Highness?"
Richard looked at Qin Mohan and asked.
"Don't worry! My queen is a skilled physician. Let's go!"
Excellent medical skills?
After listening, Richard re-examined Ye Qingcheng and then nodded.
Immediately afterwards.
Everyone then entered the city.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you must be tired from your journey. Why don't you come to my residence first to rest for a while before visiting those who have been infected with the plague?"
Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "No need, saving lives is the priority."
"This is."
The group then headed to the plague-stricken area that had been isolated.
