If I want to run away from the outer chamber, I will criticize the prince madly and take me into the

Chapter 52 Blood is rampant and Guanzhou is in crisis
When Chu Yan said this, his expression was serious and did not look like he was faking it at all. Cui Ying's hand tightened unconsciously.

She didn't reply to him, and Chu Yan didn't ask any more questions. There were some words that he knew were lies, but he still wanted to ask, hear, and get an answer.

Not long after, Cheng Chong came back with news. It was similar to what Cui Ying said. This plague was indeed no ordinary plague. The doctor who was sent said that at least it was still within control.

However, if the supply of medicinal materials is insufficient in the future, it is likely to spread, and by then the situation will not be controllable with medicine.

"There is a mountain between Yunzhou and Guanzhou. There is a delicious herb on that mountain called Juchi. It is shaped like a chrysanthemum and has serrated leaves. It can be boiled into a decoction with common herbs for treating plague, which can play a preventive role."

Cui Ying got up from Chu Yan and told Cheng Chong that she knew this earth recipe was commonly used by country people for prevention, and it could at least have some effect.

If the plague really breaks out, it can at least reduce a lot of losses and save some people.

"Do as she says and go ahead."

Chu Yan gave an order and Cheng Chong nodded in agreement: "Commander Xiao has reported all the situation in Guanzhou to His Majesty. I heard that Your Majesty has sent people to Guanzhou."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Chong glanced at Chu Yan. The man sat back on the chair without saying a word. After a while, he raised his hand to let him leave.

Cui Ying looked at this scene and suddenly thought of the time he was injured and murmured to himself while holding her hand.

The relationship between Emperor Qi and Chu Yan seemed not as good as she imagined.

It is said that Chu Yan's mother was Empress Zhuang Hui, whom Emperor Qi loved most. After all, Empress Zhuang Hui had passed away for more than 20 years, and the annual memorial day for Emperor Qi was held with great fanfare.

Logically speaking, if he loves the house and the bird, he shouldn't have this attitude towards Chu Yan.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chu Yan looked at Cui Ying and asked. Cui Ying shook her head and said, "I didn't think about anything."

"Yingying."

He called her name and raised his lips with a slight smile. Cui Ying met his gaze and felt a little nervous.

Chu Yan has a pair of very beautiful eyes. When those eyes look at you, it seems that all the thoughts in the world are hidden. She doesn't like to look at him.

The earth recipe given by Cui Ying indeed prevented a large-scale plague outbreak in Guanzhou City, but when Cui Ying learned that the plague this time was caused by a blood disease that had not been common in a century, Cui Ying felt bad.

Blood is a more terrifying existence than the plague. Plague can be cured through human intervention. However, once infected with blood, it not only spreads quickly and widely, but patients with mild symptoms can become seriously infected in a short period of time.

Bleeding from the mouth and nose continues, and even non-infected people can become infected if they are contaminated with the patient's blood.

Even Emperor Shenghua couldn't suppress the infection of blood.

Cui Ying was anxious, especially when she saw that Chu Yan's injuries were not yet healed.

She had read in ancient books that in places infected with hemorrhagic disease, there was only one way to stop the infection, and that was to close the city and burn it.

"Amber, Dongyue, don't go out these days. Remember to boil everything you use in hot water three times."

Cui Ying's voice was somewhat calm as she ordered the two of them to do things.

The two looked at her and became nervous.

"Go ahead."

After saying that, she patted Hu Hue and Dongyue on the shoulders, turned and entered Chu Yan's house.

"Huaiwei."

The girl slowly walked up to him. Chu Yan was also very busy these days. In addition to the raging blood, there was a rumor that the prince was a disaster star in Guanzhou City, which caused a wave of rumors in Guanzhou. .

"What's wrong?" Chu Yan put down the pen in his hand and raised his hand to rub his forehead. Cui Ying looked at him and said, "I want to go out of town. There are still useful herbs from the mountains of Juchi last time."

She walked around the table and walked to him to rub his forehead: "The blood is not incurable, but it spreads too fast and people can't react in time. Those doctors have been running around a lot, and they have to find a way, and they can't just sit back and wait for death. "

Chu Yan raised his head slightly, and he held her hand in his. The girl's hand was soft and warm, dispelling a lot of irritation.

"Do you know where the hematuria comes from?"

“The first plague quarantine area was just outside Guanzhou City, next to Guanzhou’s moat. But one day, many corpses of those who had died of the plague floated in the moat, and what followed was blood. "

Listening to Chu Yan's words, Cui Ying held his hand back: "Is there someone who wants Guanzhou to turn into a dead city?"

"How clever. To be precise, there is someone who wants to depose the prince."

Chu Yan's face was calm and his tone was always calm, as if the person they were targeting was not him.

He has been the crown prince for twenty-five years. From birth to now, even if he went to Dongyi Kingdom as a hostage, he has never been deposed. The courtiers were not sure what Emperor Qi was thinking, and there were two royal brothers above him who were eyeing him.

The life of a royal person has never been comfortable.

In the imperial city, there were dangers everywhere, and in the East Palace, undercurrents were surging. After several life and death experiences, he never dared to truly close his eyes and sleep for a moment under the cover of night.

"If it's just for power, do you have to give up the lives of a whole city? They don't know what the blood will bring. Guanzhou has become a dead city, and the whole city has to be buried with it."

Cui Ying's body was trembling a little. She opened her lips, but she didn't know what else to say.

She knew that some people would risk everything for power, like Cui Yunliang, who would go against everything just to secure his current position. She also understood that high positions were built with bones.

But this is a city with millions of people. Just to pull Chu Yan from the position of prince, a city has to be buried with it. These people are not crazy.

"Are you scared? What I have experienced over the years is thousands of times scarier than these."

Chu Yan chuckled and took her into his arms. His brows softened a little, and he ran his fingers through her black hair and said slowly: "Father wants Gu's life, and so does Emperor Brother, because Gu was born Not expected."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to Guanzhou, and nothing will happen to Gu. After all, I will be with you for a long time."

His forehead was touching hers, and there were emotions in his dark eyes that Cui Ying couldn't see through, but they were so reassuring.

"Your Highness."

Cui Ying's hand held the corner of his clothes and looked away. She called him, and Chu Yan hummed.

"Your Highness is very good. The people of Guanzhou will remember you."

Even though he went too far in other matters, Cui Ying still thanked Chu Yan, and the people of Dashuo never said that Chu Yan was unworthy of being king.

But that's all, Cui Ying thought, at least she didn't change her thoughts and plans because of this.

What she wanted has always been freedom.

"Then can I leave the city? Ying Dong or Cheng Chong can follow me. I know those medicines, but others don't. It's best for me to go."

Cui Ying was afraid that Chu Yan would refuse, so she explained first.

Listening to Cui Ying's words, Chu Yan let go of her and traced his fingertips on the back of her neck. She heard him say: "Yingying, remember to go home."

Chu Yan emphasized the word "go home", with tiny stars in his eyes. He did not reject her.
