Yun Qinglu slapped away his hand that was playing with her hair and said with a smile, "If they find out, Qian Yue will cry, and you'll have a lot of trouble coaxing her."
"I don't know when this rain will stop. The New Year is over, and Zeyan and Qianyue didn't wait for us. They must be very disappointed." Yun Qingluo said, her face full of guilt as she mentioned the two children.
I thought that with the plane, I could rush back to spend the New Year with my two children and family, but things didn't go as planned. This awful weather is really strange.
"Don't worry, Xuanming sent someone back with a secret method. They've probably received our message and will be back sooner or later." Mo Beichen was also very concerned about the two children.
Zeyan has always acted mature for his age, but this time he's really suffering.
After entering the city, the carriage headed straight for the city lord's mansion.
Yun Qingluo went back to her room to change her clothes before rushing to the council hall with Mo Beichen.
Xu Sheng and Shadow were already waiting.
"Lord Mo, I have already sent people to spread the news of what happened outside the city to the city, but will it be of any use?" Xu Sheng asked impatiently after Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo took their seats.
"Did you also tell him about His Highness sending people here?" Mo Beichen asked in a deep voice, then poured a cup of tea for Yun Qingluo.
"Yes, we sent people to each household to tell them that anyone feeling unwell should gather at the city lord's mansion gate, where doctors from the capital will treat them." Although Xu Sheng didn't understand why this person referred to him as their prince, he still answered honestly.
Mo Beichen nodded. "The next thing to do is wait."
"By the way, what about those famous doctors in the city?" Mo Beichen asked, recalling Cheng Qing's earlier words.
"Some are outside the city, now following Doctor Yun's master to save people, while others are inside the city, still studying prescriptions."
"Send someone to keep an eye on them, and report any clues whatsoever," Shadow immediately interjected.
Mo Beichen gave the shadow a deep look, but said nothing.
The shadow felt guilty under his gaze, but dared not say anything more.
After Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen returned to their room, Yun Qingluo immediately asked, "What kind of riddles are you and Shadow talking about? Is there another force infiltrating here?"
Mo Beichen nodded approvingly, "It's easier to fish when the water is murky. There are too many forces mixed in here, including forces from other continents, as well as those within the Xuancang Continent who want to take advantage of the situation."
Yun Qingluo took off her cloak, hung it up, and said helplessly, "It seems we're already caught in the middle."
“We both need to be careful lately. The other side wants to stir up trouble in the Xuancang Continent, so the two of us will definitely be thorns in their side. Therefore, wherever you go, you must take Yunying with you. If anything happens, just tell someone else to do it. We might as well use the people sent by Xuanming.” Mo Beichen carefully instructed Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo nodded, "I know what's important, don't worry. We all need to be careful since we don't know the other continents' trump cards. Since the Xuancang Continent has a secret technique, it's impossible for the other continents not to have one either. We probably haven't found out because this secret technique is well hidden. Achen, you need to be careful too."
Mo Beichen gave a soft "hmm".
There was a knock at the door, and Mo Beichen went to open it.
"Lord Mo, my master asked me to convey a message to you." Shadow bowed respectfully with his fists clasped.
This king was someone even his master dared not underestimate, let alone him.
"Pass on a message?" Mo Beichen repeated the two words in a questioning tone.
"My master said he has brought a hundred guards for you to protect you and your wife. In addition, the message to the Sumeru Continent has been delivered, along with news of your safety." As soon as Shadow finished speaking, a hundred figures landed in the courtyard.
Yun Qingluo was stunned. She hadn't sensed this aura if she hadn't been searching for it.
Yun Qingluo was surprised. These people's concealment skills were so powerful. Had Xuanming revealed his trump card?
But what warmed her heart even more was the news that her family was safe and sound; the Xuanming configuration was actually quite good.
Mo Beichen snorted, "What's so special about this? If we had known the waters here were deep, we wouldn't have gotten involved."
Shadow broke out in a cold sweat. Sure enough, His Highness was right; this person wasn't so easy to fool.
"Lord Mo, His Highness also said that I should stay by your side and follow your orders during this period," Shadow said cautiously.
This time, Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen exchanged surprised glances. Xuanming actually paid such a high price?
They could both see in each other's eyes that this matter was far more difficult than they had imagined.
“In that case, our bureau will accept this gift. My wife and I will only be responsible for treating the epidemic here. You can handle the rest yourselves.” Mo Beichen looked at the hundred guards.
The shadow hesitated, "This... ink..."
Mo Beichen raised his hand to interrupt him, "I don't believe it. Your Highness wasn't prepared at all. My wife and I are exhausted."
"Yes, Lord Mo and Madam, please rest well. I will go and find City Lord Xu to resolve the issues within the city."
"By the way, Lord Shadow, a friendly reminder: please keep a close watch on everything we eat and use, especially the wells in the city. If someone poisons them, I really can't save the thousands of lives in this city," Yun Qingluo said loudly to Shadow's back.
Shadow stopped and turned around to bow respectfully to Yun Qingluo. "Thank you for the reminder, Madam. I will discuss it with Lord Xu immediately. Please rest well, Madam."
After the shadow left, Yun Qingluo sensed that something was wrong with Mo Beichen.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you have such a dark face?" Yun Qingluo poked Mo Beichen's arm.
Mo Beichen glanced at her leisurely, and Yun Qingluo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "You're not jealous, are you?"
