Chapter 196: The Plague Breaks Out

"What did you say?" Xin Nianyan's eyebrows tightened, "Where did the news come from?" ”

"It's all over the outside, miss, what should I do!"

The little candle whirled anxiously under the eaves.

"How is the prince?"

Xin Nianyan raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Candle's shoulder, paused and continued to ask.

"And my uncle, how are they?"

Xiao Zhu shook his head, "I don't know, miss, the extra outside has not been reported, that is, there is an outbreak in Xuansha City, and many people have died." ”

Knowing that no matter how much he asked, he couldn't ask anything, Xin Nianyan looked at Xiao Candle.

"You go out and listen, and come back to me if you have any new news."

Candle nodded, and went out again into the snow.

Xin Nianyan stood under the eaves, raised his hand to catch a piece of sprinkling snow, and crushed it in his palm.

What are you afraid of, this day has finally come.

She took off the signal firework from her waist and was about to set off one, but then paused and thought for a moment.

"Spring grass." She raised her voice.

"Miss." The spring grass waiting under the eaves walked towards this direction.

"Prepare, I'm going out."

She couldn't wait for the message from the Flying Smoke Pavilion to come, she had to go and see for herself.

"Yes." Chuncao blessed her body, and quickly turned around and went out to make arrangements.

After a cup of tea, a carriage stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xin Nianyan was about to board the car, when she heard Gu Shuang behind her call her.

"Yan'er, where are you going with such a big snow?"

Xin Nianyan turned around, "Go to the shop and come back later, don't wait for me to eat." ”

With that, he turned around and got into the car.

The carriage soon drove out into the snow, and in the blink of an eye it was gone, leaving only two long ruts in the snow.

Gu Shuang's brows were tightly locked, and she didn't know why, she always had a bad premonition.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at Beliu Villa.

The roads outside the city were uncleaned, and it was difficult for horse-drawn carriages to travel, so the delay was longer than usual.

Shi Wu held an umbrella to shield Xin Nianyan from the heavy snow, and went all the way into the villa.

After entering the villa, Shi Wu obediently went to the living room to wait, and did not follow Xin Nianyan again.

There was no snow clearing in front of the cabinet, Xin Nianyan was wearing a blue cloak, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the white velvet on his hood was blowing lightly.

Seeing this, the cold wind upstairs frowned, raised his hand to pick up the umbrella on the side, stepped on the window lattice and jumped down, and flew down lightly.

"Miss, why are you here?"

He said as he opened his umbrella and put it on her.

The tip of Xin Nianyan's nose was a little red from the cold, which was particularly pitiful.

"I've heard news from the border."

Han Feng knew it in his heart, and he really came for this.

"I've already arranged for someone to deliver a message to the Prime Minister's Mansion, why did Miss come over by herself?"

The two of them said that they had entered the cabinet.

The cold wind shook the snow off the umbrella and put it away.

"I don't want to wait, I'm worried about my two uncles."

Xin Nianyan shook his head and stepped upstairs.

Han Feng lowered her eyebrows, but she knew in her heart that she was worried not only about her uncle, but also about King Han.

"How's it going?" Xin Nianyan asked.

"Not optimistic." Cold Wind frowned as well.

When I went to the council room, there was a stove in it, and the whole person was warm.

Han Feng picked up a letter from the long table and handed it to Xin Nianyan.

Xin Nianyan took the letter and sat down on the side and looked at it.

The cold wind walked up to her and raised his hand to sweep away the fine snow above her head.

Xin Nianyan didn't even raise his eyes, staring at the letter in his hand tightly.

The letter said that after King Han arrived at the border, he joined up with General Qiu Xuanji and won several battles in a row, but did not find the crown prince.

That's why I never sent the message back.

Now there is an outbreak of epidemic in Xuansha City, and the spread speed is extremely fast, but in just three days, 30,000 people have fallen ill.

The tens of thousands of people who fell ill have been ordered to quarantine, but with little success, and people continue to be infected with the epidemic so far.

Xuansha City is located at the junction of the two countries, and the soldiers on both sides have fallen ill and have now been forced to a truce.

Xin Nianyan's gaze kept moving downward, and when he saw the name of his uncle among the sick generals, even if he had been prepared, he still trembled fiercely.

She suddenly tightened the letter in her hand and clenched it into a ball.

"Miss, don't worry, someone in the DPRK and China has already proposed to let the imperial doctor send medicine to the border to stop the epidemic." Cold Wind said with relief.

Xin Nianyan closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair to think, but did not speak.

This time, the imperial doctors who went to the border were almost wiped out, and it was meaningless.

In the last epidemic, the two frontier countries were mixed, and nearly 300,000 people died.

Later, the miracle doctor intervened to stop it, and the national strength of the two countries was sharply reduced, and they were forced to stop fighting for several years.

She was silent for a long time, and if it weren't for the frowning of her brow, the cold wind would have thought she was asleep.

"Where's Mr. Ning?" Xin Nianyan opened his eyes, his eyes were unprecedentedly clear and resolute, shining with light that seemed to be able to penetrate all fog.

"In the medical hall."

The cold wind answered.

Xin Nianyan stood up, pulled the hood of the cloak, and walked in the direction of the medical hall.
