As this matter concerned the plague, Xuanyuan Ziming did not dare to let his guard down, let alone joke about the emperor’s safety. Therefore, in the end, he did not enter the palace himself. Instead, he asked Little Zhu Zi, who had been staying in the residence, to write a letter and send it in.

As for why he didn’t write it himself, it was naturally because he was afraid that the letter he wrote would bring about an epidemic.

Ji Luo didn’t say anything about his cautiousness. She let MO Yuan burn the clothes she had changed out of and went straight home.

“Plague?” Shen Yijia was shocked. “Mother, you said that there’s a plague in Phoenix City?”

She Imew what the plague meant, but she had never seen how terrifying it was. Song Jingchen’s expression changed drastically.

“That’s right.” Ji Luo nodded with a solemn expression. “This matter hasn’t blown up yet. Go out of the city with Ah Chen and find an empty place to stay for two days. If you’re not feeling unwell, you can return to Great Xia directly.”

The Valley of Heavenly Secrets was behind the murder of Xuanyuan Ce, and the people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets had mixed in with the Wu Kingdom’s envoys and entered Phoenix City.

They ran away before the incident happened, and the envoys of the Wu Kingdom were thrown into prison by Xuanyuan Qi. The relations.h.i.+p between the Xuanyuan Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom was completely broken, and there was no possibility of cooperation.

Actually, Song Jingchen had achieved his goal. He originally planned to take this opportunity to cooperate with Xuanyuan Qi, but now that there was a plague in Phoenix City, Xuanyuan Qi might not be able to free himself.

From what Ji Luo had heard previously, Ji Yunxi was clearly involved in the plague.

They were probably trying to stall Xuanyuan Qi and prevent him from interfering in the matters of Great Xia and the Wu Kingdom.

Perhaps they wanted to use the plague to trap Song Jingchen in Phoenix City. If she guessed correctly, the Wu Kingdom would definitely use this opportunity to start a war against Great Xia.

Ji Luo pressed between her eyebrows. Initially, she thought that Ji Yunxi was going to poison her. After all, this was her usual method. She did not expect it to be a plague.

“Mother, aren’t you coming with us?” Shen Yijia asked.

“Everyone has their own responsibilities. I’m a doctor. Since I’ve found out about this, I can’t sit back and do nothing.” Ji Luo looked at Shen Yijia apologetically. “Jiajia, I’m very relieved to have Ah Chen take care of you. Can you return to Great Xia and wait for me to look for you?”

She thought of the couple in the medical center and the patients who didn’t know anything. If she left just like that, she probably wouldn’t be able to get over it for the rest of her life.

Shen Yijia was stunned. She knew that Ji Luo was right. She asked them to leave first for their own good, but for some reason, she felt uncomfortable.

She didn’t care so much about righteousness. She just wanted the people she cared about to be fine. As for the lives of others, she didn’t care.

However, in order to save unimportant people, her mother actually wanted to abandon her again?

It had been less than two months since they reunited.

Her heart was filled with disappointment.

Someone grabbed her hand suddenly. Shen Yijia looked at Song Jingchen and heard him say, “Mother, we’re not leaving.”

Ji Luo frowned. “Ah Chen, you…”

“It’s not that Great Xia can’t do without me, but Jiajia is different. It wasn’t easy

for her to reunite with Mother. Can Mother bear to push her out again?” He had thought it through before saying that.

Even if he and Jiajia set off now, it would take them at least three months to reach the capital of Great Xia. However, if they could resolve the plague as soon as possible and get Xuanyuan Qi to send troops, it would only take a month to reach the border between the Xuanyuan Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom.

“What if…

“What if I can’t find a way to treat the plague? What if you stay and get infected with the plague?” she thought.

She did not dare to bet her daughter’s life on this.

“There’s no ‘what if’. If we still can’t find a solution within half a month, my husband and I will leave immediately,” Shen Yijia said gloomily.

Back then, her mother had sent her away, and stayed behind to face the danger alone. Shen Yijia had no choice. Now that she had a choice, she wanted to stay by her side.

Ji Luo looked at the couple and closed her eyes. “Alright.”

Xuanyuan Ce also learned about the plague from Chu Feng. When he came out of the backyard, the first thing he said was to ask them to leave, including Ji Luo.

Ji Luo glanced at him. “We’ve already decided to stay. If I can help your Xuanyuan Kingdom tide over this crisis, please persuade the king to send troops.”

“I promise you.” A sudden voice sounded from outside the door.

They all looked over at the same time.

Xuanyuan Qi walked in with Eunuch Wu and cupped his hands solemnly at Ji Luo. “As long as Madam is willing to stay and help, I can guarantee that I won’t abandon Great Xia..”
