"It's just isolation. Everyone in my Regent's Palace must cooperate!" Jing Yuchen said calmly and courageously without any resistance.
Miao Qinghua looked at Jing Yuchen suspiciously, "Well, will the Regent give the order himself? Or will I give the order?"
"Isn't the Prince Regent's Palace the perfect place for quarantine? If we quarantine outside the palace, we'll need to be escorted along the way. Isn't that also a risk of infection?"
"Isolating the palace as a quarantine area is a better option than this!"
Miao Qinghua frowned, wondering if Jing Yuchen was playing tricks again.
The eunuch standing beside Miao Qinghua stepped forward and whispered to her, "Queen Dowager, if the Prince Regent is also imprisoned and isolated, he will have no chance to make merit this time. The people and the civil and military officials will only be disappointed in the Prince Regent!"
"Furthermore, if you spread the news that the Regent abandoned the people for a woman, his standing in the hearts of the people would be greatly reduced, and it would be difficult for him to recover."
The father-in-law spoke softly, but Jing Yuchen, with his internal strength, heard some of it, but he did not say anything.
When Miao Qinghua looked at Jing Yuchen again, she immediately agreed: "Prince Regent, I admire you for setting such an example. However, Xue'er is still young. If she stays in the palace, there is a risk of infection. If I take her away, I will definitely protect her."
"Xue'er came back to the capital with us. If the Queen Mother is infected, wouldn't Xue'er be a criminal? The Queen Mother is kind, and I can only appreciate it. Will I escort the Queen Mother?"
Jing Yuchen was already impatient and was about to chase him away. Miao Qinghua looked at him with a serious gaze, then finally chuckled and turned away.
Jing Yuchen escorted him to the door. Not long after, a large number of officers and soldiers arrived and surrounded the Regent's Palace.
Qingluan looked at Jing Yuchen worriedly: "Prince, if you also lose your freedom, what will happen to the people? Also, the royal palace's medicinal materials are almost exhausted."
Jing Yuchen said indifferently, "How to isolate the people is up to the ministers. Without me, Xianchang will have no capable people to handle this matter, and Xianchang will be finished sooner or later!"
"The most important thing now is to collect medicinal herbs. We can't let the people in the palace be without medicine!"
Outside the city, a man stopped his carriage and looked at the closed city gate in front of him with a serious expression: "It's blocked. No one is allowed to enter the city."
Xiao Chuer lifted the curtain and walked out, her brows furrowed.
"How can I give the prince the prescription if I can't enter the city?"
Zou Yangyao turned around and responded: "I'm here, you and Sister Xue'er just need to be careful."
"Well, be careful then."
After nightfall, Zou Yangyao came to the outside of the city gate. A rope was thrown down from the city wall. Zou Yangyao immediately jumped up and tried to climb up with the help of the rope.
But in the darkness, someone shouted, "Someone is trying to sneak into the city again. He must be a relative of the city's corrupt official!"
With the shout, more and more people rushed over here. Zou Yangyao frowned, feeling very confused.
The surroundings were also illuminated by people.
"Catch him!"
Looking at the people surrounding him, all of them were wearing coarse linen clothes, with messy hair and haggard faces. Some were still coughing, and they looked very weak and destitute.
People who are busy with their own affairs are arrogant towards him.
"I have no grudge against you, why?" Zou Yangyao felt strange since he first entered the city. Why would Jing Yuchen not care about the lives of the people and lock people outside the city gate?
Now he felt that this group of people were a mob, so they were locked up!
"Just because you're a relative of an official and want to use a rope to get into the city, we can catch him and use him to threaten the people in the city, and then we can all be saved!"
Following this man's instigation, everyone present attacked Zou Yangyao, and the people on the city wall, seeing that things were not going well, quickly took back the ropes they had thrown.
Zou Yangyao frowned, and with the help of the city wall, he escaped. The look in his eyes as he looked at the "mob" became more and more strange.
"You attacked me without any reason. If I were an official in the city, I wouldn't let you in either. Bah!"
After he finished speaking, he flew up and disappeared into the night.
The people present chased after him relentlessly, "Where's the person? Where's the person?"
Outside the Regent's Palace, there was a heavy guard, and even late at night, there was no sign of slacking off. On the roof of the building opposite, a figure appeared, raised the long arrow in his hand, took aim, and shot away.
The arrow hit the pillar of the palace, and then the people left quickly.
Soon, the letter on the arrow was taken off and handed to the person in the room.
"Your Majesty."
Jing Yuchen reached out to take it. The news was from his people, saying that Zou Yangyao could not be brought in.
"My Lord, what's going on?"
"Last time I used a rope to enter the city, I was discovered by them. This time, they discovered me even earlier!"
"What should we do then?" the butler asked again.
"Simple, all I want is the recipe."
"The city gate is surrounded by refugees, and the city walls are so high. How can it be easy to bring the prescription in?"
Jing Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and didn't think this was a difficult problem.
After dawn, soldiers on the city wall changed shifts. Many refugees were still gathered below, but as time went by, they could not get proper treatment and had already died on the ground, their lives in danger.
The soldiers on the city wall loudly announced: "Everyone, listen carefully! Anyone who can provide the correct prescription to alleviate the plague will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"
As the announcement was made, white papers fluttered down from the city wall to the outside of the city.
Standing outside the city, Zou Yangyao, who was still thinking about entering the city, looked at it in confusion.
He walked forward and picked up the white paper on the ground. What did this mean?
