If he doesn't get to the bottom of this matter this time, similar incidents will surely happen again in the future.
He didn't expect that the person who wanted to destroy him was his most respected uncle. It was all because of Li Si'er. His uncle was really infatuated.
A fierce and vicious woman can be spoiled like this, there is probably no other person in the world like this.
Su Peisheng was extremely curious when he saw his master's face change after seeing the letter.
Just then a guard rushed in.
He knelt on one knee and saluted, looking at the Fourth Master, whose face was serious and whose body was trembling slightly. "Master, many victims outside are suddenly experiencing chest tightness, coughing, and vomiting. Some have even developed varying degrees of fever and rashes. Many doctors have examined them, and after discussing it, they all say that this is... I'm afraid it's the plague."
When the Fourth Master heard the guard's words, he immediately stood up, his pupils suddenly shrinking. He tightened his grip on the letter slightly, looking at the guard below in disbelief and said, "What did you say?"
"My lord, there is a plague among the victims." The guard's voice trembled slightly, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and said it again.
Everyone knows that plague is contagious and can kill people. They have been outside all this time and have seen many victims. They don't know if any of their people have been infected.
When Su Peisheng heard the word "plague", he felt a bolt of lightning in his head and felt dizzy. He staggered uncontrollably. Plague... plague.
The Fourth Master's fingertips, gripping the letter, turned slightly pale. He hadn't expected a plague to strike. He calmed himself and immediately issued an order, "Immediately dispatch personnel to provide protective measures. Separate the sick victims from the healthy ones. Immediately send personnel to seal the city gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave..."
The Fourth Master gave orders one by one, but the number of people he brought was limited after all, and there were many victims here. He had to report the situation here back to the capital and ask the Emperor to send some doctors from the Imperial Hospital.
As soon as the order was passed down, the people below immediately went to do it.
The Fourth Master immediately wrote a letter back to the capital to report the situation in detail.
Su Peisheng was almost anxious to death. These days, his master had been shuttling among the victims, and he was really afraid that his master would also be infected with the plague.
The Fourth Master wrote the letter and put it in an envelope, "Su Peisheng~"
"Hey, master, I'm here." Su Peisheng quickly stood up.
The Fourth Master handed him the letter and said, "Send someone who has never come into contact with the disaster victims and have him take this letter back to the capital as fast as he can."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Su Peisheng took the letter and didn't dare to delay at all. He immediately ran out with the letter.
When Longkodo heard that a plague had broken out in the disaster-stricken area, he was so frightened that he loosened his grip on his tea and the cup almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he caught it in time, but the water in the cup still spilled all over him.
He put down his teacup, stood up, and stared at the guard who had brought the news with a startled look. His forehead was wrinkled like a river, and his voice trembled slightly, almost unnoticeably, as he said, "Plague...Plague, are you sure you heard correctly?"
"I heard it clearly. The Fourth Prince has already ordered the sick victims to be isolated and the city gates to be closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Sir, what should we do now?" The guard was also a little scared.
This disease is fatal. They also went to the disaster area a few days ago and don’t know if they will be infected.
"What are you afraid of? There are so many people here, it's impossible for everyone to be infected."
Longkodo stood up. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid, but he was willing to make a fool of himself in front of his subordinates.
Longkodo walked back and forth, then looked at the guard and said, "Go find the doctor and ask how to protect yourself from this. It would be best if you could ask if there is any medicine that can prevent it."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The guard looked happy.
"Go quickly." Longkodo waved his hand.
If he had known there would be a plague here, he would not have come. When the emperor sent someone to convey the message, he thought that all he had to do was escort the food and supplies, and then he could return to the court.
Who knew that a plague would break out here? It would be such a waste if I risked my life.
Longkodo stayed in the room for a while, thinking of the fourth brother. Now they had to put aside their prejudices against each other and work together to come up with a good countermeasure.
He doesn't want to lose his life here.
Longkodo frowned, thought for a long time, and finally walked out.

Wen Mianmian was playing with a few children with the Luban Lock, which was specially made for the children by Wang An.
After making several different ones, the three children are now addicted to the fun of Luban Lock.
"Hahaha, look, mom, I solved it. Am I awesome?" Chenchen proudly held up the solved Luban lock to show his mother.
Wen Mianmian clapped her hands in agreement and said with a smile, "Great! Chenchen is really good."
"Mom, I also untied it." Xuanxuan also raised his chubby little hand, and unwilling to be left behind, he took the untied Luban lock to show Wen Mianmian.
"Xuanxuan is also very good." Wen Mianmian rubbed Xuanxuan's little head.
Xuanxuan was very happy.
Only Tiantian couldn't untie it after a long time. Her chubby little face was wrinkled into a ball, looking so cute.
Tiantian was a little anxious when she heard that her younger brothers were all praised by their mother, but she was the only one who hadn't solved it yet.
As she was untying the knot, Tiantian suddenly burst into tears.
When Wen Mianmian and Xuanxuan heard Tiantian's crying, they all looked over at the same time.
Wen Mianmian turned around and hugged Tiantian, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Tiantian? Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tiantian threw herself into Wen Mianmian's arms, no longer wanting the Luban lock in her hand, and cried heartbreakingly, "Wow~ Mother, why can't I unlock it? My brothers have unlocked it, but I can't, hiccup..." When she said this, Tiantian hiccuped.
"Am I really stupid? I can't even unlock the Luban lock, woooooooo~"
All her brothers had untied their knots, but she hadn’t.
Tiantian cried so sadly. When Wen Mianmian heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she quickly suppressed it.
If she laughed out loud now, the little girl would definitely cry even harder, and even stare at her with her round eyes and accuse her of making fun of her.
It will be even harder to coax her then.
"Not stupid, not stupid. Our Tiantian is the smartest." Wen Mianmian patted her back gently and comforted her.
Xuanxuan and Chenchen also came over to comfort her, "Don't cry, sister, you are not stupid."
"But, hiccup... I can't untie it, wuwuwu~"
Tiantian's tears flowed freely, and the clothes on Wen Mianmian's chest were soaked by the little girl's tears.
