The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 378
"Miss, do you think the Crown Princess punished Miss Su Si? They are all ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion." Ban Xia raised doubts.

"Don't worry, the princess will definitely not let that Miss Su Si go." Shen Xuan replied affirmatively.

"Why?" Ban Xia immediately asked.

"Think back carefully about the situation at that time. That Miss Su Si was thinking too much. She dared to seduce the crown prince in front of so many people. Can the crown princess let her go?" Shen Xuan answered aloud, explaining to the two maids. confused.

"No way? Miss Su Si, too?" Ding Xiang exclaimed, this is completely the rhythm of wanting sisters to serve a husband together!
"Why not? The concubine has been married to the prince for so many years, and now she has only given birth to a boy. The slaves heard that in order to consolidate the interests of the family, they will marry the prostitute daughter into the mistress, and the concubine will follow the past as a concubine. Yes." Ban Xia retorted loudly.

"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with us, so don't discuss it in the future. Send someone to find out who the woman in green is?" Shen Xuan ordered, but she was picked on by the other party, and Shen Xuan didn't know the other party's identity yet. Identity is really aggrieved.

Shen Xuan could have inquired about it in the Prince's Mansion, but the information obtained in that way was far less detailed than that obtained by the dark guard.

The carriage returned to the mansion soon, Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou heard that their brother and sister had returned, so they hurried out to inquire.Only at this moment, after hearing Shen Chaoqiu's answer, did Shen Xuan know that the crown prince was called into the palace by the sage just now, that's why the banquet ended so quickly.

On July [-]th, at four o'clock in the unitary hour, the Shen family sat around eating watermelon after dinner.chatting.Suddenly, the figure of Butler Bai appeared in the front hall.

"Miss, is Master Xue here?" Butler Bai reported to Shen Xuan.

"Where is it?" Shen Xuan asked.

"It's so late, why is that kid Yaoxi here?" Zhou muttered softly.

"Miss Hui, Young Master Xue is still waiting at the gate, he seems to be in a hurry." Butler Bai replied.

"Why didn't you come in here?" Father Shen also asked suspiciously.

"Father, mother, I'll go and have a look." Shen Xuan heard that there was something urgent, she stood up quickly, left a word, then turned and left.

Seeing Shen Xuan's eager footsteps, the Shen family's parents looked at each other and muttered in their hearts: Hey, the woman is outward, sooner or later she will be from someone else's family.

Shen Xuan didn't know what Shen's father and Zhou's were thinking at all. It took Shen Xuan a little more than a stick of incense to reach the gate and saw Xue Yaoxi standing there. There was a horse beside him. The rhythm of leaving later.

Xue Yaoxi, who was standing in the dark, saw Shen Xuan's figure appear, his eyes flashed the light, and he walked a few steps to meet him.

"Why are you here at this time? Why don't you go in?" Shen Xuan asked Xue Yaoxi, directly asking the doubts in her heart.

"It's running out of time, and I'm going out of the city soon." Xue Yaoxi explained, keeping his eyes on Shen Xuan.Can't get enough of it.

Thinking of the urgent matter that Butler Bai said just now, Shen Xuan asked eagerly, "What happened?"

Seeing Shen Xuan's unstoppable eyes, Xue Yaoxi sighed helplessly in his heart, and then explained in a low voice, "There seems to be a disease in the north, and the Holy One sent me to investigate."

"What? Epidemic?" Shen Xuan exclaimed, this so-called epidemic is a plague. In this backward dynasty, getting the plague is almost the rhythm of waiting for death.

"Why did they send you there? Are there other people in the same company?" Shen Xuan asked worriedly, feeling uneasy in her heart. The news was really beyond her expectations.

"Don't worry, King Qi is also going with me this time, most of me are accompanying to protect King Qi's safety." Hearing the worry in Shen Xuan's words, Xue Yaoxi hurriedly comforted him.

"King Qi? At this time, he is not afraid of death!" Shen Xuan replied mockingly when he heard that King Qi was going with him.

Hearing Shen Xuan's bold remarks, Xue Yaoxi did not reprimand him. Knowing that Shen Xuan needed to vent his emotions at this time, he calmed down and said, "Don't worry, no one will die. I will definitely come back alive. King Qi They don't leave until tomorrow, so I'm going to check it out first."

Under Xue Yaoxi's comfort, Shen Xuan slowly relaxed, knowing that the emperor's order had been issued and could not be changed.Suppressing all the emotions in his heart, he asked eagerly, "What's going on? How could there be a disease?"

This disease generally occurs in the aftermath of a disaster, and is formed by bacteria produced by decomposing human and animal carcasses.Shen Xuan would not be surprised if there was an epidemic in the south of the Yangtze River, because there had just been a flood there.But why is there an epidemic in the north, and there hasn't been any floods in the north recently? It's a complicated situation!

"The news in the newspaper said that some victims of the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River fled all the way to Longfeng Town. When they got there, they collapsed and had various physical conditions. At first, everyone didn't pay attention to it. After a few days, they found out The few people who traveled together had the same situation, and were finally diagnosed as an epidemic..." Xue Yaoxi explained in a low voice, without any feeling of leaking the secrets of the court.

"Wait." Shen Xuan interrupted Xue Yaoxi's narration, and asked confirmingly, "Which place did you just say? Longfeng Town?"

"Yes, Longfeng Town!" Xue Yaoxi replied, seeing Shen Xuan's trembling body after hearing the answer, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so excited to hear about Longfeng Town?"

"Oh my God, my second brother is in Longfeng Town right now. He was treating people at the time, but it has been eight days and he hasn't come back? Is he?" Shen Xuan said tremblingly, worried that Shen Chaoxia would also be infected with the disease .

"Second Brother?" Xue Yaoxi repeated, and after thinking of something, he continued to say, "Why did Second Brother appear there? Didn't he follow others to learn medical skills?"

"On the seventh day of the seventh month, a maid came to the mansion..." Shen Xuan simply explained the ins and outs of the incident.

After listening to Shen Xuan's explanation, knowing Shen Xuan's worries, Xue Yaoxi persuaded, "Don't think about it, maybe the second brother and the others are on their way back, or they were delayed because of other things."

Hearing Xue Yaoxi's hypothetical guess, Shen Xuan didn't say much. In fact, the two of them knew very well that the chance of such a situation happening was very small. The biggest possibility was that Shen Chaoxia and the others were already trapped in Longfeng Town.

"Don't worry, when I get there, I will definitely check it out, and I will bring my second brother and the others back." Seeing the figure of the ink inkstone and ink bamboo not far away, Xue Yaoxi knew it was time to leave, with a firm tone promise.
