Chapter 132 If you don’t leave, he will die.
Gu Huailing's expression was too dull, and there was not much blood on his face.
He looked at Shen Yuan and nodded with a distressed look on his face.
Yizhou was shrouded in a cloud of gloom, and many people knelt at the gate of the government office.
Because there is no food or medicine.
Everyone was in a mess.
Sijiu couldn't control the situation outside, so he had to ask Chen Yuan to leave.
The people are not wrong, they just want to survive.
An old woman kneeling in front cried, "Miss, has the Prime Minister abandoned us?"
"Yes, I haven't seen you for two days."
Shen Yuan's eyes were full of compassion.
She stood straight with her back and her eyes full of determination. "Your Excellency has been recuperating for the past two days after being caught in the rain. As the wife of the Prime Minister, I promise that the Prime Minister and I will never abandon any of the people in Yizhou City."
"Please trust me and the Prime Minister. We have already sent people to transfer food. We will have food and medicine."
"As long as we all work together and follow the adults' instructions, everything will be fine and we will all be alive."
The woman's voice reached everyone's ears, and many people began to sob.
They just want to live! Why is it so difficult?
Chen Yuan raised her head and tears flowed silently.
Qingqing and Zhinu will be back tomorrow, and we will have food then.
That night, Zhinu brought Liu Qingqing back, and Liu Qingqing looked pale.
She handed her the jade pendant that Shen Yuan had given her before leaving and said with great guilt, "Sister, it's all my fault that I couldn't get the food."
Shen Yuan frowned tightly.
"Seeing the jade token is like seeing me. How come you can't get food?"
Zhinu pursed his thin lips tightly under his mask, "Those shopkeepers said they won't give us any cold unless we see the lady."
This is not right.
Chen Yuan pressed his brows, the first person he thought of was Yan Xi.
The eldest brother must have done something, otherwise those shopkeepers would not and dared not let the food cool down.
"I understand. This is not your fault. Qingqing, go and rest first. There has been an epidemic in the city recently. Remember not to walk around casually."
Liu nodded gently, her face flushed with self-blame.
Gu Huailing still shows no signs of improvement. It would be great if Mr. Chen were here.
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing's cold eyes and felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by someone, unable to breathe for a moment.
Late at night, an old man in a black robe knocked on the door of the yamen.
The person who came was Old Chen, and Gu Huailing was finally saved.
Chen Yuan immediately invited the person in.
Elder Chen bowed to Shen Yuan and said, "Master, I have been ordered to take you away."
Chen Yuan's expression grew colder and colder. "On orders, on whose orders?"
"The eldest master asked to take you away. Yizhou is unsafe and the epidemic is serious. The eldest master is also concerned about your safety."
"So it was he who ordered that the grain not be released?"
The moment he saw Mr. Chen, Shen Yuan already understood.
Mr. Chen didn't say anything, or he was unable to refute.
"The eldest master is worried that you will act on impulse. The Shen family in the capital has been emptied by you, and the ones around Yizhou cannot be touched anymore."
"The eldest master said that the court is incompetent and Gu Huailing is incompetent, and it has nothing to do with you. He doesn't want you to blame yourself."
Shen Yuan immediately became angry, "These are the people of the entire city."
Now is not the time to argue with Elder Chen. Shen Yuan suppressed his anger and said, "Save the master first."
Old Chen stood there motionless.
"I said to save the master." Shen Yuan repeated again.
"Master, the eldest master has instructed that if you are willing to leave, he will meet you outside the city, and I will stay to treat your illness."
Shen Yuan sneered, "What if I don't leave?"
Mr. Chen did not answer, which was obvious.
"Old Chen, I didn't know that the one you were taking orders from was actually Big Brother? Since you're here today, you have to treat him whether you want to or not."
Elder Chen immediately knelt down and said, "My loyalty to you is known to you by all accounts. There are many things you don't know. The eldest young master and I will never harm you!"
Shen Yuan's voice suddenly softened, "But if Gu Huailing can't survive, I won't live in humiliation either."
Elder Chen sighed heavily, "Your Excellency's infection is not an ordinary epidemic, otherwise medicine and food would not be ineffective. I have only half of the antidote here. The other half is with the eldest master, and he will not give it to you unless he sees you."
Chen Yuan laughed at herself, Yan Xi really made her look at him with new eyes.
"Master, please make a decision quickly. Without medicine, the Prime Minister will not survive the night."
Shen Yuan clenched his hands tightly, "Save them, I will leave the city immediately."
She would not wait for Gu Huailing to wake up, because if she did, she would not want to leave.
Outside the city, Yan Xi stood in the dark, looking at Chen Yuan with a smile on his face.
There was infinite doting in those eyes, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Yuan's face was extremely cold. Yan Xi personally took the cloak and walked over to her, putting it on her as if nothing had happened. "It's cold at night, be careful of the cold wind."
Chen Yuan stared at Yan Xi's sparkling peach blossom eyes, "Why did you do this?"
Yan Xi raised his hand to touch Shen Yuan's hair, but she turned her head away.
Shen Yuan took a deep breath and asked again, "Brother hasn't answered me yet, why are you doing this?"
There was a hint of indifference in Yan Xi's eyes, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of unfamiliarity that Shen Yuan had never felt before. "What are you referring to, Xiao Yuan'er?"
Before Shen Yuan could answer, he muttered to himself, "Should I withhold the grain, or threaten you with Gu Huailing's life?"
"But Xiao Yuan'er, big brother is doing this for your own good. Emperor Tiansheng is incompetent, and the royal family of Dajin is incompetent. Why should you be responsible for them?"
This kind of Yan Xi made Shen Yuan feel a little unfamiliar.
She looked at Yan Xi and couldn't help wondering which one was the real him.
The wariness in Chen Yuan's eyes was seen directly by Yan Xi.
He laughed at himself, "Little Yuan'er, I promised my father and mother to protect the Shen family. Even though the Shen family is not even one tenth of what it was in the past, I still want to do my best to protect it. I didn't stop you from collecting grain in the capital, which is already my duty. I am not wrong to not release the grain."
"As for Gu Huailing, we have always been incompatible. Xiao Yuan'er, you should no longer be involved with him."
"Brother will take you away. You must believe that Brother will give you the best."
Shen Yuan shook his head, "What you want to give me is not what I want."
"Nan Chu has been destroyed for many years. Have you ever thought about how much suffering the people will suffer if you restore the country?"
The temperature in Yan Xi's eyes gradually cooled down.
"Xiao Yuan'er, let's go. If you don't leave, Gu Huailing will die."
Yan Xi's voice suddenly turned cold.
Inside the carriage, neither of them spoke.
In this way, he seemed to have turned back into the owner of Yan Tower.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Take you to a place where no one can find you and hide you."
His voice was very cold, and Shen Yuan couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.
I don't want to distinguish.
The surprise and touching feeling I had when I first saw Yan Xi has turned into fatigue and exhaustion.
Shen Yuan leaned against the carriage and said nothing.
With Mr. Chen around, Gu Huailing should have woken up.
She believed that Gu Huailing would definitely save the people of Yizhou City.
Inside the government office, Gu Huailing woke up and saw that Old Chen's expression had suddenly become frightening. "Where's the Madam?"
