Chu Yunxi immediately said: "I will obey the prince's order."
Xiao Mubei then smiled helplessly and said to Emperor Suining: "Your Majesty, I am sorry to make you laugh."
Emperor Suining laughed loudly, "I envy you so much that I can't wait. Then you should leave the palace immediately and prepare. The sooner you leave, the better. Remember, you must come back safely. When you come back, I will definitely give you a credit."
"According to the order."
After leaving the palace, the two of them first went back to Prince Dingbei's Mansion. They were both very worried about the emperor as he hadn't been back for so many days. Fortunately, the emperor took the medicine that Chu Yunxi had left for him on time, and Hongyu and Xiaoshan took good care of him, so his health improved day by day.
Seeing that Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei were both fine, the emperor was finally relieved. Emperor Sui Ming scolded them with a stern face, "You are so old, but you still can't take care of yourself. If anything happens to you, who will take care of us two old men?"
Chu Yunxi smiled secretly. Emperor Sui Ming had become more humane and humorous since he stopped being an emperor. Xiao Mubei was choked by the question for a while before he smiled awkwardly, "Father, we are fine..."
Emperor Sui Ming knocked on Xiao Mubei's head in frustration, "Am I not telling you to be careful in the future?"
Xiao Mubei hurriedly responded. Chu Yunxi suppressed her laughter and listened to Xiao Mubei's bitter face saying, "It's just that His Majesty sent us to Hongye County..."
The emperor was laughing secretly, but when he heard Xiao Mubei's words, his expression immediately became serious, "Isn't Hongye County the source of this epidemic?"
Chu Yunxi replied: "That's right."
"Didn't the Sixth Lord already send people over? Why can't it be handled?" Emperor Sui Ming also asked hurriedly.
Chu Yunxi replied: "The situation is not very good, so the prince and I need to go there, but Grandfather and Father, don't worry, I will take good care of the prince."
The two emperors were naturally confident in her medical skills, but the emperor still said, "You must not only take good care of him, but also take good care of yourself."
Chu Yunxi felt warm in her heart and responded.
Without wasting any more time, Chu Yunxi told Hongyu to take good care of the emperor, prescribed the medicine he should take for the next half month, and left with Xiao Mubei.
Hei Mu had also recovered and followed Xiao Mubei this time. They were accompanied by Bai Yu, Zi Han and twenty purple-robed guards. Emperor Suining also sent a team of a hundred imperial guards to follow. After the group was assembled, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi set off with the team overnight.
After a night of no rest, a group of people finally arrived in Hongye County before noon the next day.
The gates of Hongye County were tightly closed. Outside the gates, Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei heard chaos inside the gates. There were no soldiers on duty on the city walls. Xiao Mubei frowned and asked Bai Yu to go forward and knock on the door.
Bai Yu shouted for a long time before a soldier stood on the city wall and looked down. Bai Yu held the token in his hand and shouted, "The King of Dingbei and the Queen have been ordered to come to Hongye County. Open the city gate immediately."
"King Dingbei?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked happy. He shouted and went down the city wall without even responding to Bai Yu.
But after a while, the noisy noises inside suddenly stopped. After a while, the city gate creaked open. Bai Yu drove the carriage in. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a large group of people standing on the street. They were held back by soldiers with weapons and standing on both sides. The soldiers wore homemade masks on their faces. At this moment, no one spoke, and the scene was extremely silent.
Xiao Mubei got out of the carriage. At this time, a general came over and knelt on the ground, saying loudly: "I am Luo Daqun, the last general, and I pay my respects to His Majesty!"
Xiao Mubei said: "General Luo, please stand up."
At this time, one of the people shouted, "Are you sent by the court to kill us?"
The people immediately became agitated again. Xiao Mubei used his inner strength and said in a deep voice, "I am here to save you. We have brought medicine and doctors. From today on, I will stand with you. I promise you that I will not leave until the epidemic in Hongye County is eradicated and everyone is cured."
The people were talking among themselves, and they seemed to be discussing whether what the King of Dingbei said was credible. Another person plucked up the courage to speak loudly, "But even the imperial physician has no way to treat this disease. Although you are a prince, you are not a doctor. Do you have a way to cure this disease?"
Xiao Mubei said in a deep voice: "I have a way. Do you know that many people in Hongye County fled to the capital before, causing an epidemic to break out in the capital? Unfortunately, my princess, who is also the coroner of the Dali Temple, discovered the epidemic during the autopsy and was accidentally infected. The princess was pregnant, but now, my princess is fine, and she came to Hongye County with me to treat everyone, because the princess herself is a doctor with excellent medical skills, and the epidemic in the capital was also controlled by her. Now, most of the infected people in the capital have recovered, and the epidemic will be over soon. As long as everyone cooperates with us and cooperates with the princess's treatment, I believe it won't be long before Hongye County will be able to return to normal life as before."
The people looked at Xiao Mubei with half belief and half doubt. Xiao Mubei turned around and helped Chu Yunxi out of the carriage. Chu Yunxi stood side by side with Xiao Mubei in the carriage and smiled faintly. Although she was wearing a mask and a veil on her face, her temperament was outstanding. Although she didn't say a word, the people saw that the prince was willing to let such a weak woman like the princess come to Hongye County. He must be very confident in curing the epidemic here.
Hope gradually rose in everyone's hearts again, and one person shouted, "Can the princess really cure the plague in this city?"
Chu Yunxi's eyes moved around, and she said calmly, "Of course, give me three days, and you will definitely see the results. However, I require you all to stay indoors during these three days. The soldiers will deliver food to every household. If anyone gets sick, they must be sent to the isolation area for treatment as soon as possible without delay. Can everyone do this?"
There was another round of whispers. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were not in a hurry. They stood in the carriage and waited quietly. In the breeze, their sleeves fluttered. They stood side by side, looking very outstanding. The people could not help but be impressed by their grace. Finally, someone said, "I can do it."
"I can too."
"I can."
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, there was a chorus of responses from below. Chu Yunxi smiled and looked at Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei gave her an approving look. The riot was finally quelled by the two of them without bloodshed.
