Ni Yueshan glanced at Jing Yuchen and asked, "Didn't you ask someone to give us food yesterday?"
"Maybe those refugees left long ago, and these people are new here."
Ni Yueshan was a little surprised: "Why are there so many refugees? I haven't seen them before."
With doubts in his heart, Ni Yueshan walked forward.
Seeing Ni Yueshan in gorgeous clothes, the refugees immediately rushed over and knelt down: "Madam, Madam, please give us something to eat, please give us something to eat!"
Ni Yueshan looked at them with a complicated expression: "Let me ask you, why did you become refugees? Where is your home?"
Several people looked at each other, and then one of them knelt on the ground and responded pitifully: "Madam, people in our village have been suffering from strange diseases one after another. They all think they are cursed. Who dares to stay here any longer?"
"Instead of being cursed to death, it's better to escape and escape. Maybe there's still a way to survive!"
As he said this, he began to kowtow hard, begging for food.
Jing Yuchen frowned and said to the guard beside him: "Bring some food!"
The guard looked at Jing Yuchen hesitantly. Jing Yuchen frowned and said angrily, "Are you deaf?"
Jing Yuchen's angry voice was very loud. Jing Jinhe, who was quietly having her meal behind the screen, felt that her mood was disturbed. She stood up unhappily and walked out.
"Brother, why are you so angry so early in the morning? We didn't have much food on the way. If I gave it to them, you would..."
As he said this, he covered his mouth and smiled, his expression was quite innocent.
The food she ate alone, and she only tasted a little of it. Even if she threw away some, it would be enough to feed the refugees, but she had no mercy at all.
Jing Yuchen clenched his fists, with a gloomy face, and walked towards her step by step.
Feeling the dangerous aura coming towards her, Jing Jinhe's expression changed. The guards stood in front of her and looked at Jing Yuchen vigilantly.
Jing Yuchen was filled with chills: "Now, immediately, give them food."
In one sentence, no room for rebuttal.
Jing Jinhe wanted to say something, but seeing Jing Yuchen's horrified expression, he finally snorted, "Here!"
Afterwards, she walked towards the carriage unhappily: "Hurry up and wake up Duan Gouqiong, it's time to set off!"
Only then did Ni Yueshan turn around and walk towards the dilapidated house.
He just went to Duan Gouqiong's bedside and called twice, but there was still no response. Ni Yueshan's expression changed.
She reached out to touch him and found that Duan Gouqiong's forehead was burning hot and her cheeks were slightly flushed with an unhealthy blush.
Ni Yueshan's expression changed. She had a high fever.
Ni Yueshan quickly called out to Jing Yuchen, "Gou Qiong is sick."
When Jing Jinhe heard that Duan Gouqiong was ill, he frowned and was extremely unhappy.
"It's really troublesome. Just find a doctor and have her checked. We can't delay the journey!"
The group boarded the carriages one after another. Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong stayed in one carriage, while Jing Yuchen sat outside. He said, "Feed her something first. There are no villages or streets here. We need to walk a long way before we can find a doctor for her."
Ni Yueshan responded from inside the carriage: "Okay."
The carriage traveled for about two hours before arriving at a place with people. However, on both sides of the road, many pedestrians were coughing and had sick looks on their faces, which looked like they had the flu?
Ni Yueshan lowered the car curtain in surprise.
In ancient times, colds were no small problem.
Ni Yueshan raised her voice to Jing Yuchen outside, "It's best not to stay overnight in this small town. The virus can spread through droplets in the air and is easily contagious. Find a doctor to check on Gou Qiong's condition and get some more medicine to boil and take on the way."
Jing Yuchen hesitated for only a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."
I have seen too many refugees on the road. The curses others say may just be simple and incurable diseases.
Duan Gouqiong is particularly weak during the confinement period and should avoid contact.
After Jing Yuchen found a doctor and prepared medicine for Duan Gouqiong, the team did not delay and quickly left the town.
Gradually, the number of people began to decrease. A guard walked outside the carriage and asked, "Princess Jinhe, there is a stream ahead, under the trees. It's cool and refreshing, and the horses can rest and eat some grass. Princess, what do you think?"
"Yeah." Jing Jinhe responded lightly.
The team stopped. Jing Jinhe looked around and saw that there was no inn to rest. She sighed and wiped the sweat off her face with a silk handkerchief. Then she asked, "How far is it from the capital?"
"If we keep going, we'll arrive tomorrow!"
"Okay, then let's take a break and start again."
She turned her head and saw Ni Yueshan getting off the carriage and washing her face with a wet towel by the stream. She sneered, "How rough."
Ni Yueshan pretended not to hear. She stood up and returned to the carriage.
The guards resting nearby began to cough violently. One of them asked, "Are you catching a cold?"
Jing Jinhe turned away unhappily and said, "Then don't ride a horse. Just walk, sweat a little, and get some sun. You'll be fine soon!"
The guard stood up and responded respectfully: "Yes!"
Jing Jinhe snorted coldly and returned to the carriage.
After the team had a good rest, they set out again. Ni Yueshan reached out and touched Duan Gouqiong's forehead, and it was still burning hot.
She frowned, opened the curtain, and looked at Jing Yuchen: "Can the internal force help her resist the cold?"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise: "If I feel weak, you must make chicken soup for me."
"No problem." Ni Yueshan answered very readily. Jing Yuchen had no choice but to get into the carriage.
In the evening, a guard in the team fainted on the road, and the team stopped for a moment. Jing Jinhe just felt angry.
"Why are you bringing a sick person to the capital? Do you want to infect this princess? Throw some silver and money at him, and let him recover before returning!"
After roaring angrily, Jing Jinhe spoke again in a rage: "There will be no rest tonight. Hurry up and hurry on your way. Tomorrow morning, this princess will see the gates of the capital!"
Ni Yueshan had been taking care of Duan Gouqiong and had no energy to care about anything else. He just let the carriage sway and continue on its journey without stopping.
Early in the morning, in the capital.
Jing Jinhe was still looking at herself in the bronze mirror when a guard outside the carriage reported, "Princess, the city is full of refugees trying to get in. The city gates are still closed, so no one can get in at the moment."
Jing Jinhe's expression changed. She put down the bronze mirror and asked, "What are you doing? Didn't you declare your identity as a princess?"
"It's been made clear. The gatekeepers said that if we insist on opening the gate, refugees will only take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, which will then affect the people inside. We hope that the princess can stay outside the city for a while and choose a suitable opportunity to welcome her back into the city!"
Jing Jinhe threw the bronze mirror in his hand and roared, "How dare you!"
Jing Yuchen looked at him calmly without saying a word.
It seems this "curse" has spread far and wide...
