"What did you say? Jiu'er has been infected with the plague?!" The old emperor swayed several times before collapsing back into his seat.
Hua Rong nodded, looking intently at the old emperor: "Now Your Majesty can tell me, right?"
The old emperor was somewhat hunched over, his hands tucked into his hair.
"I thought everything would be alright, I thought I could still hold up a world for them."
Seeing the old emperor like this, Hua Rong felt a rare pang of sadness.
This emperor was aware of many things.
"Dr. Gu, you must save these people of Great Yan! Our Yuwen royal family will be grateful for generations to come. Actually, the story is like this..."
Hua Rong felt very conflicted after hearing this.
To put it grandly, this was naturally an extremely complex and brain-intensive scheme that had been going on for over a decade.
To put it simply, it was a collusion between an insider and an outsider.
The plague was merely a means for them to wage war.
Hua Rong found the Fifth Princess and this time, without beating around the bush, asked directly, "How many people will die from this plague?"
The Fifth Princess turned pale. "No, there is no such plague!"
The novel makes no mention of the plague that struck the Great Yan.
"Is it because of me?" The Fifth Princess seemed somewhat dazed.
She was just an ordinary person, and all she wanted was peace and happiness.
But is this plague really because of her?
Hua Rong's face darkened, and she patted her head.
"Don't take everything on yourself. I think I know who's involved in this."
Late at night, in the picturesque palace.
Princess Yuwen Hua dressed in front of the mirror, admiring her own charming face.
"Alas, if it weren't for the desire for freedom, I wouldn't be so averse to this wealth and glory."
Life in the palace is just as luxurious as it was in my previous life.
Furthermore, her status as a princess makes it even better.
However, more than that, she still prefers freedom.
"Fortunately, this country is about to perish anyway, so it's not a great pity."
"Oh"
"Who?!" The second princess trembled in fright, felt a chill down her spine, and turned around to find Hua Rong standing by the window.
The second princess's pupils contracted, and her face turned somewhat pale.
She already had an inexplicable fear of Hua Rong.
Not to mention she also sensed that there were other people lurking in the shadows!
How did you end up here?
Hua Rong glanced at the bundle the Second Princess had placed on the bed and snorted coldly.
"It seems you also know that Shen Zi'an has returned to the border, and it's impossible for him to marry you. So, you've already found another way out."
Seeing that Hua Rong had revealed her scheme in one breath, a sinister glint flashed across the Second Princess's face.
"The Great Yan will perish sooner or later. Since that's the case, what do I care about?"
Hua Rong smiled enigmatically, "It seems you're really not afraid of implicating Consort Xian and the Third Prince."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the Second Princess's eyes.
The Consort Xian and the Third Prince are the original owner's relatives, and have nothing to do with her!
However, she couldn't let Hua Rong know: "Don't touch them, I did everything by myself!"
Looking at her affected manner, Hua Rong realized that she must have been a talent with transformative acting skills in her past life.
"You did it all by yourself? Could you even do that?"
As he spoke, Hua Rong waved his hand, and two people immediately rushed towards the Second Princess from behind.
If it weren't for the coincidence that the Ninth Prince contracted the plague, the Second Princess might have really left today.
"Help me!"
The second princess shouted into the boundless night, and Hua Rong's eyes flickered slightly, as if waiting for something.
However, there was no sound at all in the darkness of the night.
"Why?!" The second princess's face turned ugly. She realized at this moment that the person had tricked her.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for breaking my promise! Gu Huarong, let me tell you, the person who made me do all this is—ahhh!!"
At the critical moment, the second princess suddenly grabbed her own neck and couldn't say a word.
Her expression was terrified. Hua Rong took a few steps up the mountain, took her pulse, and then lifted her sleeve.
On her arm, there was a worm about the length of a thumb crawling around.
"idiot."
Hua Rong cursed, "He's been bewitched and doesn't even know it!"
She had the second princess restrained while she went to see the old emperor again.
The old emperor did not express any dissatisfaction with his daughter's rebellion.
Or perhaps he was already somewhat prepared.
"She's in your care, Doctor Gu. This plague is..."
Hua Rong said calmly, "This servant will do her best."
The plague was not a difficult thing for her.
"However, has His Majesty responded to my previous request?"
The old emperor sighed and said to her, "Now that the toxins in my body have been cleared, if there is another plague, I will grant Physician Gu's request."
Hua Rong nodded and turned to leave.
A sigh came from behind: "Fifth son, I'll leave him in the care of Doctor Gu."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this servant will take good care of the Fifth Princess. Your Majesty... please take care as well."
Having swindled the old emperor out of so many precious medicinal herbs, it's time to do something for him.
The plague did not destroy the foundation of the Great Yan.
The key was the sudden emergence of Dr. Gu, a renowned physician.
"Everyone only praises Doctor Gu, but they forget how many medicines I've tried for you. Why don't these people know to thank me, the prince?"
The Ninth Prince lay weakly on the bed, but his words were as cheeky as ever.
Hua Rong was writing medical records at a desk not far away. She felt fulfilled by using her medical skills to save more people.
