Chapter 379: The Secret Guard Appears

"Don't worry, Madam. I have never seen anyone other than us."

He is upright, but he is not pedantic.

Regardless of whether Her Majesty has secret guards or not, she is devoted to the Great Chu State, His Majesty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Now I have no choice but to ask people to come out and help.

The Empress is a person who has no bad intentions, so he naturally wouldn't suspect anything.

[Prince Pei looked so pitiful, as if he was the only one kept in the dark about a huge secret.]

[But I didn't expect that he was so devoted to his mother. ]

[After all, he is from our Qingyun Palace. 】

Everyone fell into silence, and Jinyu interrupted the awkward atmosphere: "Madam, what happened outside?"

"Will there be some big-name thieves? Will we close the city gates and capture them?"

Song Qingyan shook her head, but began to guess: "It shouldn't be. If it was some big-name thief, he would have informed all the people."

"But now there is no announcement."

Having said that, Song Qingyan seemed to want to ask Pei Chuyan what he thought, and looked up at him.

Pei Chuyan also understood what the queen was thinking, and said, "My guess is that there are only two situations. The first situation is that there is a war, and in order to protect the safety of the people in the city and avoid causing panic among the people, this bad idea was taken."

"The second scenario is that there is an epidemic and this decision is made to prevent the disease from spreading."

[Wow, our Prince Pei is indeed the second male lead in the story, he is really amazing. ]

[At such a young age, he has such analytical skills. There is really a lot to look forward to in the future! ]

"But..." Jinyu asked doubtfully.

Song Qingyan nodded and looked at Jinyu, confirming her thoughts: "But we just came from outside, and it's peaceful outside, so there's no war."

Jinyu asked nervously: "Does that mean there is an epidemic?"

[Mother is treating everyone around her as her subordinates in the military camp, cultivating everyone's ability to think about problems! ]

Soon, Juying came back first and confirmed the guesses of several people.

When she came in again, Juying didn't avoid Pei Chuyan anymore: "Miss, I've checked it out. There are more and more people gathering at the city gate. It seems that they can't be suppressed. Zhixian is preparing to send out soldiers to suppress them."

"What happened? Why is it like this?" Since Jinyu was very familiar with Juying, she asked directly.

After hearing the possibility that Song Qingyan mentioned, Qiong Hua began to think about how to treat the epidemic.

Mei Ying continued, "I've also been to the government office and found that the detectives are arresting people all over the city. Those who are arrested will be sent to the epidemic prevention center."

Song Qingyan stood up suddenly after hearing this: "Is there really a plague?"

"It's the middle of summer now. Logically, the plague shouldn't have occurred or spread at this time. How could it be..."

"Miss!" Lan Ying's voice came from outside. Song Qingyan tried hard to suppress her thoughts and calmed down to listen to Lan Ying's words: "Miss, the city gate is still closed now."

Seeing that Juying had returned, Lanying did not say much about the city gate, and went straight to the point: "I went outside to check, and His Majesty is now trapped outside the city. The guards are unwilling to let anyone in no matter what. They just told them to stay away from the city gate. If you are willing to wait, you can wait for a day."

Song Qingyan nodded: "I'm afraid there really is a plague. We need to think of some ways to deal with it."

After saying this, he looked at Qiong Hua on the side with a little expectation, as if he always felt that Qiong Hua would definitely have a solution to this kind of thing.

Qiong Hua had a look of regret on his face: "Madam, if you are talking about the method of treatment, I can still do it, but I really have no experience in dealing with this plague."

Song Qingyan thought about it and agreed.

How could there be a plague in the world of immortal cultivation?

Lu Xingwan spoke.

[Yes, I have! Although I haven't experienced it, I have secretly read Sister Qionghua's books.]

[Medical books also talk about how to prevent and treat plague.]

"Mother."

Just when Lu Xingwan was about to speak, a sound suddenly came from the gate.

Jinyu suddenly became nervous: "My Lady, is there someone outside?"

Song Qingyan also looked at Lan Ying and Ju Ying nervously: "You two hide first, Chu Yan goes to open the door, it might be the Dragon Shadow Guard."

She thought in her heart that the person who came might be the secret guard of His Majesty.

Pei Chuyan slowly approached the gate with his sword in hand and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

The man seemed to recognize Pei Chuyan's voice and said hurriedly, "Prince Pei, the shadow beside His Majesty."

Pei Chuyan turned around and looked at Song Qingyan, waiting for her signal.

Song Qingyan naturally heard Yingyi's voice. It was indeed Yingyi's voice. She nodded at Pei Chuyan, but signaled him to be careful.

Pei Chuyan nodded and gently opened the door, but he did not loosen his hand holding the sword.

Song Qingyan could see it and was also nervous.

[So nervous, so exciting. ]

[Prince Pei, please be careful! 】

Lu Xingwan clearly felt that Pei Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief after opening the door.

[It's really Yingyi. Mother is so amazing that she can guess the identity of the person in one go.]

Yingyi nodded to Pei Chuyan, walked quickly to Song Qingyan and saluted: "How is your majesty? Are you injured?"

Song Qingyan smiled and said, "This palace is fine. It looks like your majesty is out of danger."

Ying nodded and looked at Song Qingyan with admiration: "Your Majesty is very good at predicting things. Fortunately, you made a wise decision to leave all the guards to Your Majesty, otherwise it would still take some effort."

"But the gates of Dingze City are now closed. Your Majesty is outside the city and is worried about the safety of the queen, so he ordered his subordinates to come in and take a look."

After hearing this, Song Qingyan suddenly became serious: "Yingyi, you must listen carefully to what I say now and convey every word to His Majesty."

"We have already investigated it just now. I am afraid there is a plague in Dingze City." Song Qingyan paused here and said, "You can go to the epidemic center on the outskirts of the city and take a look. A large number of people are being taken to the epidemic center now."

Yingyi was also surprised when he heard this. How could a plague suddenly break out in the middle of summer?

However, his consciousness as a secret guard prevented him from saying anything in reply. He just continued to listen carefully to Song Qingyan's words.

"The magistrate of Dingze City is also the person in charge. He made this choice to prevent the plague from spreading further."

"Now that we are in the city, we cannot leave again. Otherwise, if we set a precedent, it will be difficult to explain to the people in the city."

"Just don't risk coming in again."

"Take His Majesty to a nearby county town and settle him down."
