Shang Shixu and Yize rushed to Bai Wangshu's yard to find him.

It is early summer now. Bai Wangshu rolled up his sleeves and watered the flowers in the yard.

She also deliberately posed to show her perfect right face.

Bai Wangshu took such pains because he had an extraordinary hearing ability.

I had already heard the footsteps of Shang Shixu rushing here.

But Shang Shixu was destined to disappoint him. Her mind was now full of the Lingnan plague.

I had no intention of appreciating the beautiful face that Bai Wangshu had deliberately created.

Shang Shixu ran towards Bai Wangshu with hurried steps and a serious expression.

Bai Wangshu also noticed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward.

"Sister, please run slower. What happened to make you so anxious?"

Shang Shixu supported Bai Wangshu, took a few breaths, and then quickly explained the whole story.

Bai Wangshu looked troubled. Since ancient times, plague has always been the most difficult to deal with.

Some emperors simply abandoned the people of an entire city and only managed to stop the spread of the plague.

There were even dynasties that failed to deal with the plague, causing the people to suffer for more than fifty years.

This led to peasant uprisings and the fall of the dynasty.

Bai Wangshu ran back to the room and came out hurriedly after a while.

"I'm ready, sister, when are we leaving?"

Shang Shixu shook her head. She was the prime minister and needed the emperor's approval before she could go to Lingnan to control the plague.

"I will wait for the emperor's summons. Wangshu, you and Yize will go to Lingnan first.

Yize's younger brother lives in Lingnan, and you will have support when you go there."

Bai Wangshu nodded, and the three of them said goodbye here, their eyes full of determination.

Have a safe journey…

Shang Shixu summoned Wushe: "There is a plague in Lingnan, I need help, are you willing to go with me?"

Wushe said without hesitation: "I will follow you till death!"

"Okay, tomorrow I will ask the emperor to go to Lingnan to deal with the plague.

You and I are master and servant, and I will never let your body be buried in a foreign land!"

Shang Shixu found the medical books at home. She knew a little about pharmacology.

Look through medical books and perhaps you can find a way to save your life.

"Knock, knock, knock, Prime Minister, the palace has issued an urgent summons. His Majesty has summoned you to the Yangxin Palace for a meeting. Please go to the palace immediately."

When Shang Shixu opened the door of the study, he saw the eunuch sweating profusely.

"Prime Minister, please follow me quickly. His Majesty has given you permission to ride your horse to the street. You must arrive at the Yangxin Palace within a quarter of an hour."

"I accept your order!"

Shang Shixu used Qinggong to reach the gate in a few steps.

She jumped lightly, climbed onto the horse, and pulled the reins tight.

"drive!"

The red-maned horse raised its head and neighed, running towards the direction of the palace.

Shang Shixu controlled her trembling hands. She was finally summoned by the emperor.

This anxiety must be because of the plague in Lingnan. As long as she recommends herself to the emperor,

She could go and save the people of Lingnan in person. Most of the people in the court were corrupt, and she was really worried about others going.

After speeding all the way, Shang Shixu finally arrived at the Meridian Gate.

The guards at the Meridian Gate opened the gate and shouted to Shang Shixu, "Prime Minister, His Majesty has ordered that you ride your horses to the Yangxin Palace."

Riding a horse in the palace is a unique experience, but Shang Shixu no longer had the heart to appreciate it.

Eunuch Qian, who was standing at the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, saw Shang Shixu coming on horseback from afar, and hurriedly took his men to meet him.

"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Prime Minister, you are finally here. Please dismount and follow me. His Majesty is very anxious and is waiting for you."

Shang Shixu casually threw the horse to the attendant beside him and followed Eunuch Qian into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"You bunch of useless people, not only do you have no way to cure the plague, but you also dare not go to Lingnan to cure the plague.

I usually keep you around just to make you retreat in times of crisis, idiot! "

As soon as he stepped into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he heard the emperor's angry curses.

Those ministers deserved it. They should do their job and fulfill their responsibilities. This is the principle that everyone should follow.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

When the emperor saw Shang Shixu coming, he hurriedly stood up and helped her, as if he had seen his savior.

"My dear Shang, please get up quickly. You are finally here. I need you! Those good-for-nothings are really trying to piss me off to death."

Shang Shixu sneered in her heart. The dog emperor remembered her now. Haha.

Even if I am not convinced, the most important thing right now is the plague in Lingnan.

Shang Shixu had to continue acting with the dog emperor, and she pretended to be unaware.

He asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, what is the matter that has made you summon me so urgently?"

The emperor gulped down a glass of water and planned to finish his speech in one breath.

"Lord Shang, a plague has broken out in Lingnan, and people are dying in droves. It is also spreading.

There is no one in the whole court who can share my worries. Now I only have you.

You must think of a solution, otherwise, my people and my kingdom will be finished!"

Tears seemed to flash in the emperor's eyes. Was he worried about the suffering of the people, or was he worried about his throne?

Shang Shixu's eyes were firm; the emperor's words were exactly what she wanted.

"I am willing to go to Lingnan to deal with the plague. Please grant me your permission, Your Majesty!"

The emperor was so overjoyed that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my dear Lord Shang. This journey is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. You must be extra careful."

Shang Shixu raised his head, his eyes firm, "Your Majesty, as an official appointed by the court, I should help the country solve its problems. If I can quell the plague and save the people from danger, I will not regret it even if I have to survive a narrow escape."

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to go to Lingnan to deal with the plague!"

Outside the Yangxin Palace, Jiang Huaixu, Fang Chenglan and Yunze hurried over.

"Your Majesty, I, Jiang Huaixu, would like to go to Lingnan with Lord Shang."

"Your Majesty, I, General Fang Chenglan, am also willing to accompany Lord Shang to Lingnan."

Yunze was about to speak when he was interrupted by the emperor: "Okay, okay, this is my subject.

Lord Jiang, you will go to Lingnan with Lord Shang.

Lord Fang, along with the outbreak of the plague comes riots. I need you to be on standby in the capital.

As for Lord Yun, you should stay in the Astrology House and pray for the people."

Even though Yunze and Fang Chenglan were unwilling, they had no choice but to obey the emperor's arrangements.

Everything was ready. The emperor arranged the accompanying personnel and sufficient relief supplies, and urged Shang Shixu and Jiang Huaixu to leave.

Before he even left the Meridian Gate, he was stopped by the eldest prince.

He knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I beg you to let me go to Lingnan. The people of Lingnan are waiting for me!"

The emperor angrily shouted at the attendants: "What do you do for a living? You can't even keep an eye on a person. Why don't you help the eldest prince back?"

The eldest prince broke free from the servants' pull, continued to kneel, and kowtowed to the emperor.

"Father! I beg you, Lingnan is my fiefdom, how can I abandon it, Father!"

The eldest prince kept begging, his voice filled with tears, and the blood from his head flowed down his neck.

This scene deeply hurt the emperor.
