Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 1349 - 1348: Just Worried They Might Hurt You

So it’s joyfully decided.

If the Prince truly cannot tolerate her anymore and refuses to keep her by his side, she will go to Chu Qianli and beg her for shelter.

After all, Yuxing has seen through it—there’s always a tangled web of feelings between the Prince and Miss Chu.

When the Prince learns Fen Ling’s true nature and distances himself from that malicious woman, perhaps he will return to Chu Qianli.

Then she’ll follow Chu Qianli, work for her. When Chu Qianli and the Prince reunite and marry soday, wouldn’t it an she’s serving the Prince too?

Thinking this way, her mood instantly lightened, and she no longer feared her secret being exposed.

Yuxing opened the door and was about to step out.

Unexpectedly, Fen Ling suddenly fell to her knees with a thud: "Yuxing, I beg you, don’t treat like this! I’m pleading with you!"

"You shouldn’t beg . I won’t soften my heart toward you."

Letting the Prince stay with such a malicious woman would be her betrayal of the Prince! She couldn’t do it.

"If you have anything to say, you should tell the Prince yourself."

"Yuxing!"

Yuxing ignored her and stepped away.

...

Chu Qianli and Feng Yexuan hurriedly exited because they had just received news sent back by Xi Jiu’s n.

Sothing went wrong in the critically ill ward.

"Princess, the patients suddenly started complaining about stomach pain. The pain ca on quickly, and many are tossing and turning in agony."

Xi Jiu explained the situation to Chu Qianli as he led her forward: "So patients are in so much pain they’ve fainted, while others are trying to break out."

"Our guards are blocking them, but the patients are completely uncontrollable. So guards have been scratched and bitten; now everyone is on edge, wanting to stop them but fearing to approach."

The guards who were scratched and bitten have already withdrawn to receive treatnt from the physicians.

But those were patients infected with the epidemic! Being scratched or bitten by them guarantees infection.

The guards are now worried to death; most of them dare not approach, only using wooden sticks to push the patients back.

If this continues, not only will the guards fail to hold their ground, causing heavy losses, but the patients will endure even greater harm.

After laying out the situation, Xi Jiu’s face was full of worry: "Princess, what should we do? The temporary calm won’t last much longer."

"Especially with the cries and wails from the critically ill ward—it will definitely alarm the villagers and spread quickly. People’s trust in you, Princess, will plumt unprecedentedly."

This was another concern on Xi Jiu’s mind.

On one hand, they couldn’t hold the critically ill ward. On the other, they couldn’t guarantee that the villagers wouldn’t flee en masse.

Once they escape, surrounding villages will also beco disaster zones!

The situation will spiral completely out of control.

Unless... unless, as Chu Minghao suggested, the escapees are to be killed without rcy—that might prevent the spread of the epidemic.

But Xi Jiu knew the Princess would never choose that path.

Those were lives, all living, breathing people!

Before they even reached the critically ill ward, the cries of patients could already be heard from afar.

Chu Qianli grew increasingly anxious and quickened her pace.

Feng Yexuan, however, stepped forward to block her path before she could enter.

"Such a widespread bout of stomach pain is likely linked to the new dicine you developed for them today."

"You suspect ?" Chu Qianli froze mid-step, her heart instantly sinking.

Feng Yexuan, on the other hand, seed helpless. Noticing her guarded expression, his voice softened: "I’m rely worried... that they might harm you."
