"It might just be a minor scratch; as long as we find a way to fix it, there's hope."
"As for Wen An... if he also contracts the disease, I will take care of him. Anyway, I probably won't be able to escape it."
Xie Shiyan described the matter in a very casual way.
She knew Xie Shiyan was just trying to comfort her, and she did feel a little relieved.
Gu Jiangli's mind raced, and he immediately said:
"The best course of action now is to inform His Majesty of this matter."
"He is in power. Let him immediately issue an order for officials in the other cities to take precautions in advance, at least to prevent the disease from spreading further."
Xie Shiyan immediately nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he led her out of the City God Temple.
With a wave of his hand, the remaining soldiers, along with Yue Qiao'e and Gu Xun, followed them.
When the Xie family members outside the City God Temple saw them coming out with their children, they rushed over in a hurry.
Especially Madam Xie, whose face was immediately streaked with tears.
All she wanted to do was hold her grandson.
But before she could get close, Xie Shiyan loudly stopped her.
The group of people had no idea why Xie Shiyan and Gu Jiangli were clearly avoiding them.
"Shi Yan, Jiang Li, what's wrong? Is Wen An alright? Let me hug him..."
Madam Xie anxiously took two more steps forward, but Gu Jiangli hurriedly told them everything that had happened.
She recounted the entire story, from beginning to end, her speculations, and what she had witnessed, without missing a single word.
When these people heard that it was a plague, they shrank back in fear.
But upon hearing that all of this was a conspiracy by Nanlin, he instantly became furious.
"That scoundrel from the south, how could he commit such a beastly act? He deserves to die a horrible death!"
A group of people nodded in agreement, hurling insults at the King of Nanlin, whom they had never met.
Madam Xie stood rooted to the spot, her voice trembling as she spoke: "Plague? So, you and Wen An may have already contracted the plague?"
Although Gu Jiangli didn't want to admit it, she could only nod. "Grandmother, after we return to the Xie family, no one should enter our courtyard again."
"Shi Yan and I immediately wrote to the Emperor, asking him to issue an order to inform the people about the plague as soon as possible."
“If Grandmother has any trustworthy doctors who are willing to help, please invite them to the Xie family.”
Madam Xie trembled. Seeing Gu Jiangli's solemn expression, she knew this was no joke.
They are facing an extremely great disaster.
Madam Xie's eyes suddenly focused, and she unleashed tremendous power.
"Jiang Li, I'll take care of the doctor's affairs."
"But once this matter comes to light, it will surely cause public unrest. Do you have any countermeasures?"
Gu Jiangli turned her gaze to Xie Shiyan, who was standing to the side.
Xie Shiyan met her gaze and then nodded.
Gu Jiangli was relieved.
"Grandmother, don't worry, there will definitely be a way to deal with it."
