The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 280

Qingyan and Murong Jingxuan didn't know how they had listened to the conversation. According to that man, the real manipulator behind the scenes should be Second Prince or anyone who assisted him. They hadn't mentioned a name, so no one knew exactly who was behind it.

They only knew that the ultimate beneficiary of this case was Xuanyuan Yvfan.

On her way back home, Qingyan had been thinking about the rabbit pestilence, but she found that she could do nothing about it. Maybe she could find other ways to prevent it from spreading.

When they returned to the village, the clamor in the day had disappeared, replaced by a serene scene. But no one would have thought that many patients living here were waiting for the death.

Murong Jingxuan wanted to send Qingyan back to the yard, but Qingyan refused. Qingyan said frankly, "maybe only in this way can I feel at ease.".

＊＊＊

The problem of the rabbit pestilence hasn't been solved well. Only the minor patients in the village have been cured, but those people still don't believe what Qingyan said. They can only live with the infected people.

This situation lasted for a whole month till the new year's Eve.

They couldn't catch up with the dinner in the new year's Eve and could spend New Year's Eve in a village. Emperor Hongjia initially declared that they could came back, but Xuanyuan Yvzhen didn't want to leave. He thought it was not bad to live among those ordinary people.

"You've done a lot for the people of the Mao City, and we are all clear with your contributions." An elder man looked at them and said kindly, "if it weren't for you guys, I would have been dead."

Even though some people had been cured, they still could not find a way to control the rabbit pestilence. There were people constantly sent in, dying, being victims, but none of these could stop them from staying.

"Your Highness, the letter is 800 miles from the Captial City." Wu Keshan looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yvzhen's face and handed the document to Xuanyuan Yvzhen.

Xuanyuan Yvzhen's expression suddenly changed when he looked at the document in his hand. When Qingyan picked up the document her face also suddenly changed.

"Yanyan, fourth prince, what's wrong with you?" Murong Jingxuan looked at them and said with a smile. But when he took over the stuff that Qingyan kicked, he couldn't smile.

Because the letter said:

In order to prevent the pestilence from spreading, all the infecred people will be killed on the spot if there was no antidote.

While speaking, Murong Jingxuan burnt the letter to ashes with his power. "We've worked hard here for the people's welfare, and he said those words!"

"Jingxuan, you know my father well. He wouldn't have done such things if we hadn't delayed for too long." Looking at Murong Jingxuan, Qingyan said resignedly.
