Chapter 715: Chapter 712: Fear of Unforeseen Changes_1

Nanny Tong clapped her hands in delight and said loudly, "Aren’t they all better now! I heard from Yingshuang that... those who took the medicine earlier are now helping to care for the sick!"

Bai Qingyan nodded. "That is indeed a great blessing!"

"I just heard from Xiao Yinshuang that the refugees are calling Doctor Hong a living Buddha, and they want to set up a longevity tablet for him!" Nanny Tong’s smile deepened the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

As soon as Nanny Tong finished speaking, Chun Tao rushed in with a letter, not even stopping to bow, and handed it to Bai Qingyan. "Eldest Miss, a letter from Second Miss! The guard said... the messenger fell off his horse and passed out after saying to deliver it to you."

Bai Qingyan’s heart sank. She steadied herself and opened the letter.

[The state treasury is tight due to the construction of the Nine-Tiered Terrace. The Crown Prince has issued a secret order to kill the epidemic sufferers in Huayang City and Qinhuai City, to leave no living beings, and to burn the corpses.]

Bai Qingyan gritted her teeth, her chest filling with rage, her fingers almost tearing the paper.

Because the state treasury was tight due to constructing the Nine-Tiered Terrace, they decided to massacre the people of Huayang City and Qinhuai City, who were suffering from the epidemic?!

What a good Crown Prince! What a good son of the Emperor!

The people of the two cities were suffering from a disaster, requiring a large expenditure from the state treasury. To focus on the Nine-Tiered Terrace, the Crown Prince wanted to leave no living beings in the cities.

In the Crown Prince’s heart, the Nine-Tiered Terrace the Emperor wanted was more important than the lives of the people.

Bai Qingyan closed her eyes to calm herself, her mind racing...

From the time Bai Jinxiu got the news and sent someone to Shuoyang, the Crown Prince’s orders should already be on their way to Huayang City and Qinhuai City.

"Chun Tao, go immediately to Doctor Hong’s courtyard and ask him to write down the prescription for the epidemic treatment! I need three copies! Prepare one and wait for me outside the Bai Mansion gate! Hurry!"

"Yes!" Chun Tao obeyed and ran out of the room, heading towards Doctor Hong’s courtyard.

Bai Qingyan then turned to Nanny Tong. "Nanny Tong, send someone to call Steward Hao. Have him bring ten loyal and reliable people! It must be fast!"

"Yes!" Nanny Tong turned and left.

In the spacious room, only Bai Qingyan remained. Her eyes were calm as she burned Bai Jinxiu’s letter and called the maid by the door to help her change clothes.

Seeing that the letter was almost burned, Bai Qingyan threw the paper into the ink wash basin and unwrapped the iron sandbag from her wrist.

When Nanny Tong returned, she saw a maid kneeling by the couch, helping Bai Qingyan put on deerskin boots. Bai Qingyan had already changed into a thick outfit, with a fur cloak lying beside her.

"Nanny..." Bai Qingyan smoothed her sleeves and said to Nanny Tong, "Nanny, please help me with one more thing. Spread the news about the Crown Prince’s massacre order in Huayang City and Qinhuai City! The more people know, the better!"

Only in this way could Bai Qingyan drag her "dying" body to Dadu City with justification to persuade the Crown Prince.
