However, Qin Song knelt on the ground with cupped fists, looking troubled. “An hour ago, this subordinate went down the mountain to the city and realized that the city was under heavy guard. No one could enter and the people inside couldn’t come out either.”

“Heavy guard?!” Censor Zhang was shocked. “How is that possible? His Majesty has ordered for the treatment of tens of thousands of people. It’s impossible for him to block the way into the city.”

Ye Siming’s eyes darkened. After thinking quickly, he said, “Qin Song, I don’t care what method you use. After you enter the city with the token, go to the Jiang Manor to ask for help. Jiang Xiaoran is flexible and will think of a solution.”

“Yes.”

Qin Song was like a bolt of lightning as he quickly rode away.

Ye Siming then instructed the other officials, “Pull out all those who are already dead and check the list. The rest of the soldiers, find a place to dig a hole and prepare to bury them.”

The surroundings were filled with earth-shattering cries.

At this moment, the cold rain seemed to have landed on everyone’s hearts.

Ye Siming finished giving instructions.

He saw Gu Nuo’er standing behind the crowd and looking at the commoners who had lost their loved ones in a daze.

Ever since the child was born, she had been raised in the palace.

She had never seen so many people die overnight.

Those people lay on the ground, dead.

As there were too many people, the soldiers prepared to stack them on the tow cart.

Groups of people who had been living were now placed coldly like dead meat.

It was impossible for this not to be a shock to the child.

A figure blocked in front of her and an umbrella reached out from above to block the chaotic rain.

“If you’re afraid, don’t look.”

Ye Siming pressed her into his arms.

His palm was slender and warm. When he gently held the child’s small hand, it gave her a lot of security.

However, Gu Nuo’er still couldn’t help but cry.

Tears rolled down her cheeks like bean-sized pearls.

She cried very softly. “There was a grandfather who was… who was talking to me yesterday. But today..”

Ye Siming sighed quietly.

“Life and death are fated.

He gently hugged the child. “Don’t cry. I’m here.”

Gu Nuo’er wiped her tears with her small hands. “Elder Brother Siming, there’s no doctor now. Let me do it.”

Ye Siming was stunned. “You?”

Her soft voice was firm. “I know how to treat this illness!”

If the doctors didn’t come, they couldn’t just let this group of people wait for death.

Gu Nuo’er looked up at him. “Do you believe me?”

At this moment, Ye Siming seemed to have been struck by something.

In a daze, he actually felt that Gu Nuo’er’s small face in front of him overlapped with the beautiful, enchanting, and cold face of the fish demon.

Ye Siming nodded slowly.

“I do.”

Gu Nuo’er immediately turned around and instructed the soldier proficiently, “I want the Myriad Scented Grass and Thin Jade Flower. The former can be found where the mushrooms grow densely under the tree. Each plant has only three dark green leaves!

“The latter grows by the water and its petals are a yellowish-white. There’s a big pool at the back of the mountain. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be plenty of the flowers between the gaps of the rocks. Hurry up and go.

The more the better.”

Everyone knew her identity and didn’t dare to delay. They quickly split up and scattered in all directions.

Only Ye Siming stood in the rain, his pitch-black eyes darkening.

She had just mentioned… pool.

There was a long distance between the pool at the back of the mountain and Ning’an Village.

How did the little thing know about the place?

At this moment, in the Jinluan Hall.

“Bastard!” Gu Yihan instantly cut off the head of an official who was kneeling on the ground.

In an instant, blood burst out and splattered all over the ground!

Gu Yihan’s eyes were red. “Who closed city gates? I didn’t give the order and you even dared to fake an imperial edict.. Do you guys think I’m dead?!”
