The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

When Su Muxue saw Su Yi enter the VIP room, she couldn't help but happily call him "Fifth Brother". But when she saw Zhao Yefan, she pretended not to see him. She just casually picked up a green hairpin at hand and asked Mu Jin if she liked it.

When Su Muxue asked Mu Jin to go out for fun today, she originally wanted to refuse.

Later, when she heard that Su Muxue was coming to Shuyu Tower to give her a gift, she thought about it and agreed.

Mu Jin came to Shuyu Tower not because Su Muxue wanted to give her a gift. Her main purpose in coming to Shuyu Tower was to ask whether Shuyu Tower could take back the jewelry that Su Yi had bought for her as an apology. After all, she was in urgent need of money to go to Nangong Divine Sect to treat Eleven's amnesia.

Unexpectedly, I met Su Yi again in Shuyu Tower today, whom I just met yesterday.

Mu Jin thought that he was not shameless enough to ask Zhao Yefan in front of Su Yi how much silver he would have to buy back the jewelry Su Yi had given him.

Seeing Su Yi coming, Mu Jin was a little uninterested. She looked up at Su Yi.

"Why did King Yi find time to come here today? Is he here to see the princess?"

Su Yi looked at Mu Jin and curled his lips slightly: "That's not the case. It's just that I'm short of money recently. I bought an antique porcelain vase from Boss Zhao before, and I want to ask him if he can still recycle it."

When Mu Jin heard Su Yi say this, her eyes lit up. She pretended to be indifferent and asked Su Yi.

"Oh? Can this Shuyulou still recycle the things I bought here before?"

Su Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Yefan.

"So, Boss Zhao, I'm short of money lately. Can I still recycle the porcelain bottle I bought from you?"

If Su Yi was short of money, then Zhao Yefan wouldn't have to work in Shuyu Tower anymore.

This Shuyu Tower is just one of Su Yi's industries. He is sure that with his hard work in running this Shuyu Tower for Su Yi, even if Shuyu Tower is closed now, it will be enough for Su Yi to spend for ten lifetimes.

But Zhao Yefan didn’t know what Su Yi was going to do next, so he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Zhao Yefan didn't respond, Mu Jin became more anxious than Su Yi, and couldn't help but call out Zhao Yefan.

"Boss Zhao, King Yi is asking you."

Su Yi glanced at Mu Jin who seemed a little impatient, and the corners of his lips rose slightly in an unintentional arc.

Zhao Yefan pulled the corners of his mouth hard and said to Mu Jin with a forced smile.

"Of course, it's just that few people buy things in Shuyulou and then sell them back to the building. After all, every item here can be used as a family heirloom."

"Then what is the original price for recycling?" Mu Jin asked anxiously.

Zhao Yefan glanced at the calm Su Yi and said, "Fifty percent off? I still need to ask our boss about this. After all, this is the first time in so many years since the building opened that someone has bought something in the building and then sold it back."

Mu Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Zhao Yefan say that there would be a 26% discount on the treasures. The treasures that Su Yi gave her were originally purchased for 13 yuan, and a % discount would mean yuan. There would be some money left after paying for Eleven's medical treatment, so the money for the medicine for his treatment would be settled.

"Fifth brother, are you short of money? You have even fallen to the point of having to sell things. If you tell others about this, not only will you lose face, but also mine! I will make up for the shortfall you face." Su Muxue said dissatisfiedly.

Su Yi knocked Su Muxue's head with his fan: "I just don't like that porcelain bottle, and I'm looking for an excuse to ask Manager Zhao to take it back. Go and look after your hairpins, don't make trouble!"

At this time, a waiter came to find Zhao Yefan.

"What's the matter?"

The shopkeeper said, "The gates of Beijing were suddenly closed this afternoon, and we have a batch of goods that cannot enter the city."

When the people in the VIP room heard the emergency closure of the Beijing Gate, they were stunned. It was not curfew at night, and the sudden closure of the Beijing Gate must have meant something had happened.

Zhao Yefan asked the waiter if he knew why. The waiter said that there was a notice posted outside the city gate. In order to curb the spread of the plague in the capital, the city gate will be officially closed from today. The time of opening will be notified separately.

In addition, the imperial court also recruited doctors who could produce prescriptions to curb the plague. The court rewarded them with 1,000 taels of silver and allowed them to meet the emperor and ask for grace as a reward.

Plague? When the waiter said this, several people couldn't help but frown. Even Su Yi, who usually greeted people with a smile and was indifferent to everything, couldn't help but put away his smile at this time.

Although these people had never experienced the plague, from their history books and their understanding, the plague was as terrible as a flood or a beast, and it could lead to the destruction of families and the death of people.

Among these people, Su Yi was the first to know that an epidemic had broken out among local refugees after the Rilong earthquake.

Judging from the changes in physical symptoms of those who had the plague, the plague can remain dormant in the human body for up to half a month before manifesting itself. In the early stages, there is only a high fever, which is then gradually followed by difficulty breathing and chest tightness, and finally the whole body becomes swollen and death occurs due to respiratory failure.

Su Yi told the people in front of him what he knew.

"It has been dormant for half a month. Doesn't that mean that the plague is already lurking in some people's bodies? Doesn't that mean that many people have been infected without knowing it and have passed it on to others?" Zhao Yefan said in surprise.

Mu Jin stood up suddenly. She was a modern person, so she certainly knew what the plague represented. Facing the plague was a thorny problem for the modern society with advanced science and technology and medicine. To contain the epidemic, the wasted manpower and material resources would even affect the economic development of the entire society, the country, and the world.

Mu Jin looked at Su Yi and said, "You said yesterday that if a large-scale plague breaks out, people from the Nangong Divine Sect will come out to treat the world. Do the people from the Nangong Divine Sect know about this? Have they started to treat the people?"

Mu Jin didn’t know whether the people of Nangong Divine Sect were as magical as the legend said. After all, in this world with advanced medicine, it takes a huge price to curb the plague. However, the things of our ancestors should not be ignored. They might be really magical.

"This king sent someone to invite him half a month ago. I think he will arrive in Beijing in the next two days."

Su Yi had already started taking measures half a month ago, but the capital city only received the news to close its gates today. Mu Jin really doubted whether Su Yi in front of him was really as the world saw him as, a good-for-nothing, dissolute prince who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long?

If Su Yi always maintains the appearance that is not recognized by the world in front of outsiders, why does he show a different side in front of himself?

Mu Jin thought so, but Su Yi was not within her concern at the moment.

At this moment, Mu Jin had no intention of staying in Shuyu Tower to inquire about the matter of recovering the treasures. After all, even if he had money now, he might not be able to leave Beijing in a short time.

She asked the people in front of her to go back home and prepare food and other medicines for treating physical weakness and dampness and heat in the market.

He also told them not to go out unless necessary in the near future. If they really had to go out, they must sew a thick face towel and tie it around their mouths and noses, and then burn it when they return home. They must wash their hands and faces frequently, and also prepare a yard in the mansion. If anyone has a fever, no matter who they are, they must be isolated and not released until they recover.

Seeing Mu Jin explaining the precautions to everyone with a serious face, Su Yi teased Mu Jin with a lazy smile.

"Ah Jin, have you ever studied medicine? I think what you said is much more relevant than what those old guys in the Imperial Hospital said."

Mu Jin sneered at Su Yi, "Thank you, King Yi, for the compliment. If anyone from the Nangong Divine Sect is willing to come out, please let me know."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, he said hello to Su Yi and his sister as well as Zhao Yefan, then walked out of Shuyu Tower with Qing'er and Eleven who was guarding outside the VIP room.
