Xuancang Continent.
Dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared; a torrential downpour had been going on for days with no sign of abating.
Yun Qingluo stood by the window, looking at the torrential rain outside. She frowned slightly and sighed softly, "This rain has been going on for too long. I'm afraid it will cause floods and mudslides, and many more people will suffer."
A hint of worry appeared in her eyes as she silently prayed that the disaster would pass as soon as possible.
"This reminds me of the disaster relief efforts in Southwest China back then, where an epidemic also broke out after the floods."
"So boring, so boring! I haven't even had a chance to explore the streets of Xuancang Continent properly, and this rain just won't stop," Xiao Yi said listlessly.
Yun Qingluo chuckled, "There's so much delicious food, and you can't eat it, so what's the big deal?"
Xiao Yi retorted indignantly, "Do you even know what 'quenching thirst by looking at plums' means?"
Just then, a servant hurried into the room and reported to Yun Qingluo: "Madam, there is a guest outside who wants to see you. He says he has important matters to discuss."
Yun Qingluo was slightly taken aback, wondering who would come looking for her on such a rainy day.
"That's strange. You don't know anyone here on the Xuancang Continent. Who would brave the heavy rain to come and talk to you about something, especially something important?"
Yun Qingluo then realized, "Right, I don't seem to know anyone here. Could I have come to the wrong place?"
But that's not right either.
They recently moved to a newly built airport, a remote and desolate place. Who would come all the way to the middle of nowhere to find her?
Yun Qingluo couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.
She nodded, gesturing for the servant to invite the person in.
With such heavy rain, she wouldn't go out, otherwise Mo Beichen would nag her again.
A moment later, a mysterious man dressed in a black robe walked in. He exuded an eerie aura that made people wary.
Sensing the unfamiliar aura, the Ghost Doctor and Master Yun Qingluo from next door immediately rushed in.
"Luo Luo, who is this person?"
"who?"
Master Yun Qingluo and the Ghost Doctor rushed in and stood in front of Yun Qingluo, their eyes warily fixed on the visiting stranger.
The mysterious man showed no change in his aura. The Ghost Doctor sensed no malice in him and breathed a sigh of relief. "He doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. Strange. What do you want with Luo Luo?"
The mysterious man approached Yun Qingluo and whispered, "Miss Yun, I have been entrusted by my master to deliver a message. With continuous heavy rains, the epidemic in the Minjiang disaster area has begun to spread, and the situation is extremely critical. My master hopes that you can lend a helping hand and go to the disaster area as soon as possible to help control the epidemic."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo's expression changed, and she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
But... she stood up and then slowly sat back down.
"Your master? Who is he?" Seeing that the other party meant no harm, Yun Qingluo slowly sat back down in her chair.
The mysterious man did not answer Yun Qingluo's question, but handed her a map and explained in detail the location of the disaster area, the illness, and the local conditions.
"You expect me to work for your backer without telling me who's behind you? Where in the world is there such a good deal? Here, take it, do you want it?" Yun Qingluo snorted coldly and threw the map on the table onto the ground with a flick of her sleeve.
"Hmph, are you dreaming? Your master doesn't even show his face, why would he help you?" The Ghost Doctor was also very puzzled.
He suddenly pulled Master Yun Qingluo aside and muttered, "Strange, you are a divine physician from the Divine Physician Valley, and I am a ghost physician, why do they only ask this girl, Luoluo, to help them, instead of asking us to go to the disaster area to help treat the refugees?"
Just as Master Yun Qingluo was about to speak, the Ghost Doctor continued, "I understand, I understand! They must have thought we were too difficult to invite, so they settled for second best..."
"Shut up, will you?" Master Yun Qingluo finally couldn't stand the Ghost Doctor's incessant chatter and spoke up.
Upon seeing this, the mysterious man took two steps back.
"My master said that with the intelligence of the Queen of Sumeru, she will surely be able to guess her identity. If you are willing to do this favor, my master will promise you something after the disaster is over. With my master's status, this promise will guarantee that you will make a profit."
After the mysterious man finished speaking, he turned to leave, but stopped abruptly at the door.
He reminded Yun Qingluo to be careful, as the epidemic was very fierce and there might be other dangers.
I don't know if doing this is right or wrong.
But since it was the future queen's request, he dared not refuse.
Why.
Being a subordinate is really difficult.
"Has she agreed?" an urgent voice asked.
After returning from Yun Qingluo's place, Yingzi immediately went to the Grand Tutor's residence.
“Miss Mu, the message has been delivered to Miss Yun. I believe she will go to the disaster area to help. Miss Mu, please don’t worry,” Shadow replied.
He found it strange that he suddenly received a message saying that Mu Zhi had something important to discuss with him.
He initially thought there was a mistake. After all, how could Mu Zhi possibly know he was handling matters nearby? And even if she did know, she shouldn't have been looking for him!
After confirming repeatedly that she was indeed looking for him, he made an excuse to sneak out and rushed over to see Mu Zhi.
He just didn't expect that Mu Zhi would ask him to help send a message to Yun Qingluo to the disaster area.
Fortunately, the king of the Sumeru Continent was not at home, otherwise he probably would have come out lying down if he had gone in upright.
The king of the Sumeru Continent had seen him before, and he was familiar with his aura. Regardless of whether he wore white or black robes, he could recognize him at a glance.
He had heard that the king of the Sumeru Continent cared deeply for his queen.
Given the severity of the situation outside, Mo Beichen moved people to this empty airport, presumably to isolate them from outside information and prevent Yun Qingluo from finding out.
Mu Zhi noticed that Yingzi was hesitant and asked, "Lord Ying, is there a problem?"
"Does Miss Mu think that person will agree to go to the disaster area to help?" When Shadow first arrived, she didn't know how to address her, so she asked Shadow to address her as before. After all, she and Xuanming were not yet married, and it was too early to call her Empress.
Mu Zhi listened to Yingzi's words and a look of doubt appeared on her face: "Why do you ask that?"
Shadow shook his head slightly and said in a heavy tone, "This disaster is so severe that it is hard to predict whether he will be willing to lend a helping hand."
Mu Zhi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "No matter what, we should give it a try. After all, the people in the disaster area are suffering terribly. If we can get his help, we might be able to save more lives."
The shadow nodded.
Mu Zhi took a deep breath and looked at the shadow with a firm gaze: "I just want to help him. I know he has been anxiously waiting in the palace. I heard from my father that she has experience in treating epidemics. If we can ask her to help, he will definitely not stand idly by."
"I will return to the palace first, lest Your Highness become suspicious."
After saying that, the shadow turned and left.
Mu Zhi stood quietly in place, gazing into the distance, silently praying in her heart.
