Chapter 846 Is there a plague in the city? (3 more)
"Mom..." Chunlan was beaten so hard that she tilted her body and fell on the table nearby.
"You are getting bolder and bolder now!" Aunt Jiang bit her back molars and tried to lower her voice and said, "You dare to listen to anything, don't you?"
Chunlan had already been frightened by what she had heard before.
Although Mrs. Shen and Aunt Jiang both spoke in a reserved manner, it is not difficult to tell by combining their words that the eldest man actually had evil thoughts towards Liu Yaxuan back then.
What else was done is unknown.
Mrs. Shen didn't want to take the elder man over to see a doctor because she was afraid that he would cause trouble again when he saw Shen Tianshu, who looked very similar to Liu Yaxuan.
This news was so shocking that Chunlan was stunned to the spot.
If Aunt Jiang hadn't seen her and pulled her out, she wouldn't have known how long she would have stood there!
Chunlan was sobered up by Aunt Jiang's slap, and suddenly asked: "Then about the death of the second lady..."
Grandma Jiang was so angry that she slapped her again: "Are you really not afraid of death? How dare you ask?"
But her move was equivalent to giving a positive answer.
Chunlan couldn't help but tremble all over. Is this the truth behind Liu Yaxuan's death?
Aunt Jiang warned her daughter: "I don't even ask you how much you heard, but no matter what you know, it will rot in my stomach and no one is allowed to say it, do you hear me?
"If this matter spreads, not only will the Shen family be turned upside down, but your life and mine will also be in danger!"
"I heard it..." Chunlan responded with a trembling voice.
Looking at the two slap marks on Chunlan's face, Grandma Jiang said angrily: "Okay, you won't be on duty these days. I'll give you a leave of absence and say you're sick.
"Take advantage of these few days to give me a chance to adjust my condition. If the old lady sees the clues after I return, your mother and I will be killed by you!"
After saying that, Aunt Jiang turned and left. Chunlan then sat down on the ground, shaking all over. It took a long time before she took a deep breath.
She never expected that there would be such a dirty secret behind what happened back then.
But although she felt sorry for Shen Tianshu who lost his mother at a young age and suffered a lot of grievances, Chunlan also understood in her heart that just like her mother said, this matter must be kept in her stomach and cannot be mentioned to anyone.
Shen Tianshu didn't know all this and was packing his things when he went out.
Since she was nominally going out with Li Zihan, Mingyu quickly brought people to pack several boxes of luggage for her.
Clothes from summer and autumn, things that we are used to every day, as well as jewelry for hair and face, purses and handkerchiefs, and medical books that we read every day, are all packed in the box.
Shen Tianshu was about to take two sets of clothes to change on the road, when he suddenly thought that since he had to travel day and night, it would be more convenient to dress up as a man.
So she ordered: "Mingyu, go out and buy me two sets of men's clothes that I can wear."
Mingyu was caught off guard by Shen Tianshu packing his things in such a hurry to go out, and after hearing these words, he couldn't help but talk about it.
"Young lady left in such a hurry as soon as she left the house. As long as we can give you two days, we can get you two sets of clothes!"
"No matter how good the ready-made clothes are, they are not as delicate and comfortable as those made at home."
"It's just a temporary wear for a few days, there's no need to pay too much attention to it."
Shen Tianshu focused on packing his medicine box, packing everything he could think of that might be needed, and also brought a lot of patent medicines to treat external injuries and pills to treat internal injuries.
Early the next morning, Li Zian sent someone to pick up Shen Tianshu.
After arriving at the palace, Li Zihan's side was all ready, and the team left Prince Rui's palace in a mighty manner and went straight to the other courtyard outside the city.
After leaving the city, Shen Tianshu changed into men's clothes in the carriage and tied his hair to the top of his head. He quietly left the team with Li Zian and others halfway and rode in another direction.
The next few days were spent on the road non-stop.
Just like the last time he went to Juzhou, Li Zian took Shen Tianshu with him on horseback.
It's just that the relationship between the two people is different now, and their moods when riding together are naturally very different.
Last time, Shen Tianshu kept his back straight the whole time and did not dare to relax, but this time he was able to take a nap directly in Li Zian's arms when he was really tired.
Because they were worried about Qi Zihao's condition, no one made any stops except for necessary rest along the way.
Not only did Shen Tianshu often have to eat on horseback, he also had to feed Li Zian.
In the last two days, everyone even changed horses without changing people, and drove crazily day and night without rest.
Except for Shen Tianshu who could barely take a nap in Li Zian's arms, everyone else's eyes were red from the sleep.
After driving for seven or eight days under the stars and under the moon, the group finally arrived at Fuping County, a small border town.
When Li Zian took him off the horse, Shen Tianshu felt that his legs were no longer his, and he could not stop trembling while standing on the ground.
If Li Zian hadn't supported her, she would have fallen directly to the ground.
Yan Laosan didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. After receiving the news, he hurriedly came out of the city to welcome them.
"Your Majesty, the general is recuperating at the county government house. The soldiers are camping outside the city to rest. Because the general has been unconscious, everyone is a little worried these days. You see..."
Li Zian understood what he meant, nodded and said, "I understand."
He helped Shen Tianshu sit aside and said: "I'm going to see the soldiers who have returned from victory first. Since they are here, I always want to boost their morale. You first follow Yan Laosan to see how Qi Zihao is doing. That’s it, I’ll go find you in a moment.”
After speaking, Li Zian called two female secret guards over and asked them to take care of Shen Tianshu.
"Okay." Shen Tianshu agreed simply. After getting used to it, her legs felt much better. Although she was still shaking a little, she was able to walk with the help of others.
Li Zi'an followed Qi Zihao's adjutant and went straight to the officers and soldiers stationed outside the city. Only then did Yan Laosan suddenly change his expression and said to Shen Tianshu eagerly: "Ms. Tong, the situation in the city is very bad now. The weather is hot again. Plus there are many injuries..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Tianshu's expression changed.
"You mean, there's an epidemic in the city?"
Yan Laosan nodded with an ugly look on his face and said: "I initially suspected this. I have now ordered people to guard various intersections in the city to separate the people from the injured soldiers as much as possible. …”
Before Yan Laosan could finish his words, Shen Tianshu already knew his intention of sending Li Zian away.
She made a decisive decision: "Enter the city immediately, close the city gate, and don't allow anyone to enter or leave!"
Before entering the city, she told Xie Heng: "If the prince goes crazy in a while, even if he is knocked unconscious, he will never be allowed to enter the city."
