The Prime Minister looked at Jiang Jingran, his eyes gradually turning cold.
"Asshole! His Majesty will make the final decision on who will be the crown prince. It's not your turn to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks!"
"I'm warning you, I, Jiang Huguo, will only be loyal to Your Majesty in this life, and I will never form a clique for personal gain! Don't ever mention such things again in the future!"
Jiang Jingran didn't take the Prime Minister's words seriously at all. She glared at him and continued to argue with him.
"Father, you are truly old and confused. His Majesty will eventually pass away, and His Highness will ascend the throne sooner or later. What difference does your loyalty to him now make with your loyalty to him in the future?!"
"You, you! You bastard!"
The Prime Minister widened his eyes in disbelief and slapped Jiang Jingran hard in anger!
Jiang Jingran's face swelled up instantly, and before she could come to her senses, the Prime Minister's angry voice rang out again.
"You bastard, get out of here! Today I'll pretend I've never seen you before, and I've never heard such words before. If you dare let me hear such outrageous words again, don't blame me for disowning you as my daughter!!"
The Prime Minister pointed at the door and ordered Jiang Jingran to leave.
His fingers were trembling and his chest was heaving violently. It was obvious that he was very angry with Jiang Jingran.
Jiang Jingran covered his face and looked at the Prime Minister, his eyes full of coldness and resentment.
"Aren't you biased towards Fu Yanci? I tell you the truth, he and the Crown Prince will never come back this time!!"
Jiang Jingran said this viciously and ran out of the guest room with his face covered, leaving the prime minister alone in shock.
The Prime Minister had not recovered from what she had just said until Jiang Jingran's figure disappeared from his sight.
The prince and the general who guarded the country never returned.
What's the meaning?
Could it be...
A bold guess arose in the prime minister's mind, and just thinking about it made him feel a chill.
…
Fu Yanci rode at full speed for two days and two nights before finally arriving in Jiangnan. At that time, the plague was rampant in Jiangnan, and sick people could be seen everywhere, collapsing on the ground with painful expressions on their faces.
Dozens of doctors were walking among the people carrying medicine boxes, but the scale of the plague was so large that they alone could not handle it.
People fell one after another, and Jiangnan soon became a mess.
When Fu Yanci arrived at the post station where the prince was, the prince was discussing countermeasures with several officials from Jiangnan with a serious face. When he saw Fu Yanci, a look of shock flashed across the prince's face, and then he hurriedly walked towards him.
"Why are you here?"
The prince approached Fu Yanci and scolded him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is not the place you should be. Go back!"
After the prince came to Jiangnan, he kept in touch with Fu Yanci through letters. The reason why he told Fu Yanci about the sudden outbreak of plague in Jiangnan was that he wanted him to advise the emperor in court and ask him to send people to rescue the people in Jiangnan as soon as possible.
But he never expected that Fu Yanci would come in person. It had only been two days since he sent the letter to Kyoto. One could imagine how anxious Fu Yanci was to come here.
"Wherever Your Highness is, I will be there. I swear to protect Your Highness until my death."
Although Fu Yanci's expression was calm, the words he spoke were extremely firm.
"Yanci, listen to me and go back!"
The prince held Fu Yanci's arm tightly, his voice full of warning.
"Your Highness, the plague is rampant outside. If this continues, the casualties will become increasingly serious. The most important thing now is to find the source of the disease."
Fu Yanci did not mention returning to Beijing at all, and it was obvious that he had decided to get involved in this mess.
The prince looked at him deeply, revealing Fu Yanci's weakness.
"Yanci, your grandmother, mother, wife, and unborn child are all waiting for you. Listen to my advice and go back. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Although both were heading to Jiangnan, being sent by the emperor and coming on their own had different meanings.
Fu Yanci left Beijing for Jiangnan on his own. If the plague in Jiangnan really became uncontrollable, as long as someone impeached him, Fu Yanci would not be able to escape unscathed.
The prince thought that by exposing Fu Yanci's weakness he could make him give up, but he ultimately underestimated Fu Yanci's sincere loyalty.
"The Queen, the Fifth Prince, the Crown Princess, and the unborn baby are also waiting for Your Highness to return."
Fu Yanci left these words and broke free from the prince's hand, walking straight towards the officials.
The prince clenched his fists, and the complexity in his eyes was replaced by endless coldness.
If he and Yan Ci could return to Kyoto safely, even if it angered his father, he would never let that person go easily!
Everyone was very curious about Fu Yanci's identity, but seeing his noble temperament, they didn't dare to ask rashly.
"This is the general who protects the country."
The prince introduced.
He originally wanted to drive Fu Yanci away, so he did not introduce Fu Yanci's identity to everyone at the beginning. Now that Fu Yanci insisted on staying, the prince had nothing to hide.
Everyone was shocked.
The Guardian General, isn't that... the patron saint of their Beiming Nation?!
"Your humble servant greets the General!"
Everyone became excited in an instant, but when they learned of Fu Yanci's identity, they felt inexplicably relieved.
Fu Yanci joined their discussion. Finally, they planned to split into three groups. One group would look for the source of the disease, one group would resettle the people who had not yet become ill, and the remaining group would cooperate with the doctor's command to treat the people.
After making the division of labor, everyone started to take action.
Five days later.
Jiang Jingyu chased after him closely and finally arrived in Jiangnan.
Fortunately, there are various pills in the system mall that can replenish her strength and relieve her discomfort, otherwise her body would have been unable to bear the journey.
Ever since the sudden outbreak of plague in Jiangnan, people have been avoiding the area and horse-drawn carriages have rarely appeared on the streets of Jiangnan.
The carriage from the general's mansion soon attracted the attention of the guards, who trotted to the front of the carriage.
"Who's in the car? Please leave immediately during this special period!"
The driver directly announced his family name: "We are from the General's Mansion, and the person sitting in the carriage is the general's wife. Could you please show us the way? Where is the general now?"
Hearing that it was the general's wife sitting in the carriage, the guard's attitude instantly became respectful: "The general is searching for the source of the disease at the front. I will take you there right away!"
"Thank you, bro!"
On the other side, in front of Baijiajing.
"General, this place is connected to the Huan River. Most of the water people drink comes from this well."
Fu Yanci nodded slightly. "Get a bucket of water and have the doctor check it. Seal this well until the results are in."
"yes!"
After Fu Yanci finished giving the instructions, he was about to head towards the next well when he heard the sound of horse hooves, followed by a familiar voice behind him.
"Yanci."
