Chapter 1012: Chapter 1013: Tell the Truth Honestly Chapter 1012: Chapter 1013: Tell the Truth Honestly Pri Minister Li continued, “The Crown Prince is unconscious, barely clinging to life… I believe, the longer this epidemic drags on, the more it will endanger counties around Nanshen City, and even threaten the entirety of Xiyun. To prevent this situation, I hope that after the Crown Prince breathes his last, the city will be slaughtered.”
The court officials imdiately followed Pri Minister Li’s lead and knelt down, shouting in unison, “We hope that after the Crown Prince breathes his last, the city will be slaughtered!”
Seated on the Dragon Chair, the Emperor of Xiyun trembled with fury, “The Crown Prince is not yet dead, and you all are already wishing him dead here?”
“Emperor—”
An official tried to say sothing, but the Emperor of Xiyun didn’t let him speak and fiercely said, “In Nanshen City, not only is the Crown Prince there, but also Prince Yi, Princess Yi, the Crown Princess Consort, and still alive are over three thousand of My subjects. Unless I die, I will absolutely not slaughter the city!”
Having said this, the Emperor of Xiyun stord off.
Since his birth, this was the first ti the Emperor of Xiyun had encountered an epidemic problem. He didn’t care how the predecessors handled it; under no circumstances would he slaughter the city now!
ng General’s Mansion.
ng Lanqing, upon learning the current situation in Nanshen City, felt extrely uneasy.
Old Lady ng, although aware of the outbreak in Nanshen City, didn’t know the current situation and called ng Lanqing to her room to ask him in secret.
“Lan Qing, tell your mother honestly, how are things now in Nanshen City? How are Prince Yi and the others? And your brother, is he alright?” Old Lady ng’s face wore a look of concern.
Fearing that his mother couldn’t handle the shock, ng Lanqing did not reveal that Zhuqing had contracted the epidemic. He simply said, “Lord and Lady are all well, Zhuqing is fine too, it’s just Se Se’s brother…”
“What happened to Se Se’s brother?” Old Lady ng imdiately asked anxiously.
At that mont, outside the door, Gong Juese was holding a piece of cloth to find Old Lady ng, intending to make clothes for her, but she overheard Old Lady ng’s words and stopped in her tracks.
ng Lanqing sighed deeply before he gravely said, “Se Se’s brother has contracted the epidemic.”
“This…”
Old Lady ng was about to say that the doctors who went to treat the epidemic had also caught it, aning the epidemic was incurable, but she had barely started speaking when the door was abruptly pushed open.
Gong Juese, looking utterly distraught, burst in and yelled at her and ng Lanqing, “My brother won’t get the epidemic! He won’t! He won’t! He won’t!”
“Se Se, calm down, you…”
Startled by Gong Juese’s appearance, ng Lanqing quickly got up, attempting to soothe Gong Juese, but Gong Juese shook off her hand and rushed out.
“Se Se!” ng Lanqing imdiately chased after her.
As soon as Gong Juese left Old Lady ng’s room, she ran back to her own, ignoring the wet nurse holding her son; she just began packing her luggage.
ng Lanqing followed her in and saw Gong Juese packing a bundle, promptly asking, “What are you doing?”
Gong Juese didn’t even look at ng Lanqing and said, “I’m going to Nanshen! I want to find my brother!”
“But you promised your brother you wouldn’t go to Nanshen.”
“I’ve changed my mind.” Gong Juese was frank.
“…” ng Lanqing fell silent for a mont before trying a different approach to retain Gong Juese, “You don’t care about the child anymore? Look at our son, he’s still—”
Before ng Lanqing could finish, Gong Juese said, “You take care of the child, or give him to Mother to raise.”
