The vicious female supporting character who is stalked by the villain

The next day, Su Xiangguo united with a small number of officials to appeal to the emperor. They were worried about the outbreak of the epidemic and hoped that the emperor would order the city gates to be sealed and strictly check whether anyone was infected.

This move aroused the incomprehension of most officials. Li Shaoshi and others felt that this was an attempt to make false claims and shake people's hearts.

The emperor was obsessed with alchemy recently and was very impatient with such unfounded words, so he waved his hand and didn't want to say anything more.

Fang Muxi stood as straight as a pine and cypress, blinked, and finally closed his eyes.

He knew that no one would believe what they said now. Only when the tragedy really happened would these people realize their previous arrogance.

Although this situation will be more chaotic and more conducive to Lin Xueman's revenge, it is the common people who will suffer in the end.

I just hope that the sufferings of the people have not been in vain. He and all the people in this world are waiting for a wise king to come to power and restore a truly peaceful age to the world.

Not long after, the plague broke out without warning, and the disease spread outside the city. In just a few days, dozens of people died and countless others were infected.

The cause was in a county outside Kyoto. Many people suffered from mouth and tongue sores, coughing and other problems. In more severe cases, they even vomited blood and died.

The people in Kyoto were talking a lot.

"I heard that there is a disease outside the city, do you know?"

"Sick? What's wrong?"

"Shh...I heard it's an epidemic..."

"It's impossible, right? Don't talk nonsense!"

"How can that be possible? I heard that those who were sick coughed and vomited blood!"

"Yes, I have a relative, and three or four people in his village have died!"

"My God!"

These rumors were spread all over Kyoto, making everyone feel insecure. Gradually, no one dared to come out.

Su Xiangguo remonstrated again, and the emperor then entrusted the matter to Fang Muxi and Su Xiangguo, giving them full responsibility for the matter.

Fang Muxi has been waiting for a long time.

The first thing he did after taking charge was to send doctors and officials directly to the county where the epidemic was suspected, so that the doctors could check the disease, confirm whether it was a plague, and then prescribe the right medicine.

At the same time, with the support of Su Xiangguo, Fang Muxi went against all opinions and directly had the city gate closed. No one was allowed to enter or leave Kyoto without permission.

At the same time, Su Xiangguo asked Kyoto Prefecture officials to beat gongs everywhere to remind the people:

Unless there are special circumstances, stay indoors, burn mugwort at home, and be sure to cover your mouth and nose with silk scarves and handkerchiefs when going out to avoid infection.

Perhaps because Kyoto took precautions early and took too strict measures, no one in Kyoto has suffered from the epidemic for the time being.

And Su wanted to stay in Su Mansion every day, doing nothing but sitting by the window, holding his chin and looking at the big tree not far away.

Qingyun and others watched Su Xiang doing nothing every day, just sitting by the window and looking at the scenery outside, and their hearts were filled with worry.

Gao Lan frowned and lowered his voice: "Miss sits by the window and looks outside every day. She even talks less."

Qinglai also felt heavy. "Before the city was closed, the princess would come to talk to the young lady. Now that everyone is stuck at home, the young lady doesn't even talk much. I only feel a little energetic when I drink iced drinks."

"Don't worry about it, just do what you should do." Qingyun looked calm, as sensible as an intimate elder sister, "The young lady has her own concerns, we just need to protect her."

"That makes sense." Qinglai nodded, turned around and left, "I'm going to make smoothies for the lady to make her happy."

After Qinglai left, Qingyun suddenly became indignant, and his image as a big sister instantly collapsed, "Damn Ye Qi! If he hadn't left, would the young lady be so worried? What a bastard! Don't come back if you can!"

"..."

Hearing Qingyun scolding his master, Gao Lan silently touched his nose.

Qingyun was so courageous. He scolded his master so many times and jumped back and forth on his death line, but nothing happened. She admired it.

Su Xiang was completely unaware of these small actions of Qingyun and the others. She was indeed worried about Lin Xueman.

Half a month is almost here, but Lin Xueman hasn't come back yet. Will he... be infected with the plague outside?

Thinking of this, Su Xiang shook his head again.

No, she gave Lin Xueman a prescription to treat the plague. As long as he drinks it, there won't be any problems... Moreover, Lin Xueman is the final villain of the novel and cannot die easily.

Only at this time, Su Xiang was extremely grateful that Lin Xueyuan was the ultimate villain and there was no need to worry about anything happening to him.

When those in the outer city confirmed that it was the plague, everyone in Kyoto was so frightened that they did not dare to leave their homes.

Su wanted to see clearly.

Drought, plague, and the ensuing disasters are beyond the ability of people in this era to resist and bear. Coupled with the greed and ugly behavior of officials during previous disaster relief, it is enough to make their already unstable people's hearts even more shaky.

At this time, the people began to question the ability of the country's leaders, and they increasingly lost confidence in this dynasty that was about to decay.

Just like in the original novel, they will constantly recall the peaceful scene when General Lin was alive and the weather was smooth and the country was peaceful and the people were safe.

The more the people remembered General Lin's goodness, the more dissatisfied they became with the emperor's ruthless act of exterminating the Lin family, and the foundation of the country began to shake.

Finally, before the first patient appeared in Kyoto, Lin Xueyuan came back.

At that time, Su Xiang was reading a book and eating the rice dumplings made by Qingyun for her.

When the weather is hot, she likes to eat something cold.

Qingyun and Qinglai stayed aside and did not speak, only fanning her gently.

Gao Lan was staying at the door, but suddenly her ears twitched, her eyes flashed, and she coughed.

"Cough...cough..."

Su Xiang was interrupted by her coughing and turned around, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Qinglan couldn't help but frown, "Why did you cough suddenly?"

Qinglai also looked at her with concern.

"It's okay... Maybe I was greedy for cold drinks last night and ate more smoothies." Gao Lan waved his hand guiltily, "It's okay, I'll just drink some medicine."

"Just in case, you need to drink some medicine." Su Xiang turned to Qingyun and told Qingyun, "Qingyun, go and make some medicine for Gao Lan."

Qingyun nodded and retreated, and Gao Lan followed her out.

Su Xiang continued to read with her head down. After finishing the rice dumplings, she said calmly: "Qinglai, take the bowl away."

Qinglai obediently took the bowl and went out.

At this time, the window suddenly opened, and a gust of wind blew in. Su Xiang just turned around and before he had time to look, he was hugged by a person.

The man held her in his arms with all his strength, tried his best to suppress the longing and heat in his heart, and just whispered in the girl's ear.

"Su Xiang, I'm back."

Su Xiang was stunned for a moment, and when he heard Lin Xue'an's energetic voice, he finally put his heart at ease, and couldn't help hugging the other person back and curling his lips.

"You came back in time, Lin Xueman."
