She was told by someone asking for a waiver in the middle of the night that there must be something fishy going on.
An Ye left and followed Prefect Fang all the way to the government office.
He watched him hand the things to Gu Fanzhi's men, and then watched Gu Fanzhi's men return to the courtyard where the Fourth Prince lived with the thick waiver form.
"Your Highness, I have the item."
Gu Fanzhi waved his subordinates away and handed the thing to Gu Pianran.
"Can we really find a better way?" Gu Fanzhi asked.
"Let's give it a try. Everyone's age and body are different, so they're bound to react differently. I've observed a few people of different ages and found some patterns. If we can overcome the danger of death, our journey won't be in vain."
Naturally, Gu Pianran could not reveal her true purpose.
Gu Fanzhi's eyes became increasingly gentle as he looked at her. "They treated you so well, and yet you still tried to find a way to reduce their mortality rate."
Gu Pianran smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. I just have a clear conscience. As for how others view me, I don't care. What I fear most is that my friends around me will be influenced by them. That's what makes me most sad."
"No." Gu Fanzhi said firmly, "People who truly know you will never be influenced by them. Those who can be influenced are definitely not your friends."
"Your Highness is becoming more and more comfortable with comforting people." Gu Pianran smiled shyly.
Gu Fanzhi was mesmerized by the charming smile on her face and couldn't help but stare at her.
Gu Pianran noticed his look and felt a little proud. She pretended not to understand and continued to look through the waiver.
In addition to the normal procedures, the waiver also details each person's age, physical condition, and whether they have any underlying diseases. This is also to facilitate better selection when vaccinating against smallpox.
These are what Gu Pianran wants to see.
She flipped through the pages one by one and finally selected six people. These six were five men and one woman. Four of them were young men in good health. The other was an old man who was not in good health.
The last one is a young woman, the daughter of the capital of Yanzhou.
Of course, the four young men were all from prominent families in Yanzhou, except for the old man who was an ordinary citizen.
After Gu Pianran made her selection, she secretly took note of these people.
They are all in the third batch, which means they will have their turn in the evening.
Just enough time for her to arrange everything.
After making her choice, Gu Pianran wanted to drive him away so that she could go back and rest early.
"Your Highness, you don't have to accompany me." She said softly.
"How can that be? You've all been contributing to the people of Yanzhou, so as a prince, I naturally have to set an example."
Gu Fanzhi stayed with her the whole time, forcing Gu Pianran to continue reading the rest of the list. By the time she finished reading them all, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
The two of them, exhausted, went back to rest.
After seeing them go back, An Ye came back and left.
"Is it that simple?" Bei Yutang raised an eyebrow.
An Ye nodded.
She would never believe that Gu Pianran would be so kind.
She must have some ulterior motive.
"Please help me keep an eye on her every move."
An Ye nodded and left.
The next morning, the first group of people lined up in a long queue at the government office gate.
