Everything is ready, all we need is an east wind.
Now he just had to wait for the result.
However, this time it took him by surprise, for what came was not an east wind but a 'west wind' that was completely the opposite!
"What did you say!" Xue Zhan's face was full of shock. "What on earth is going on?"
Ye Zhe's eyes were filled with solemnity. "I'm afraid the enemy has ill intentions."
Mo Liandi's eyes curled up with a touch of mockery. "They're coming for me. Ye Lin, I'll leave this matter to you."
A cold light flashed in Ye Lin's eyes. "That old fool must be at his wit's end to do such a heinous thing!"
Was he really not afraid of retribution?
Mo Liandi gave a cold laugh. "He's always unscrupulous."
Xue Zhan waved his folding fan and said calmly, "Going to such lengths to use this plague against you, he has really put a lot of effort into it."
"The old man should be approaching Quanzhou soon. I'll go and meet him."
Ye Lin said with a smile, "Since you care so much about the Grand Commandant, why do you always oppose him? Is there anything that can't be talked about?"
Xue Zhan couldn't help but glare at Ye Lin. "Mind your own business!"
Mo Liandi said indifferently, "A Nan has already gone to the Grand Commandant."
With Xue Nan and Heng Niang there, Xue Changsheng would be fine.
Xue Zhan raised his eyebrows. "He actually agreed?"
What did Mo Liandi exchange with him?
Ye Lin frowned. "Who is this A Nan?"
However, no one answered him. It was only Ye Zhe who said calmly, "You'll meet him someday."
...
In the eastern part of the capital city.
At this moment, the eastern part of the city was filled with wails. Many people were complaining bitterly.
At this time, a pale - faced man was cowering in the corner in panic, muttering to himself, "This is retribution."
"The Prince of Guo'an has rebelled... This must be a warning from Heaven!"
"Why are we being tortured like this?"
"Execute the traitor and save the common people! Otherwise, more and more people will die!"
"Execute the traitor and restore peace to the Great Liang!"
"Execute the traitor!"
...
Not far away, a petite figure was hiding in the corner, tugging at the angry middle - aged man.
"Uncle, isn't the Prince of Guo'an far away in Quanzhou? How is this related to him?"
The man noticed the movement beside him, frowned subconsciously, and looked down. He saw a chubby and cute young boy looking at him curiously.
"Of course it's related to him. If he hadn't rebelled and angered Heaven, how could such a disaster have befallen us?"
"That's right. This must be a warning from Heaven!"
"I wasted my respect for him before. He's just a hypocrite!"
"I just hope that His Majesty can execute the traitor soon and restore peace to us!"
Hearing this, the child fell silent for a moment, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
This child was none other than Yun Xi, who had followed Ye Lin here.
"So that's how it is. This man is so despicable. I even respected him before!"
The man nodded in agreement. "Who says it isn't?"
After a while, Yun Xi's figure appeared beside a doctor who was feeling a patient's pulse.
The doctor frowned, his eyes full of confusion. "Strange..."
Yun Xi frowned. "What's strange?"
Then he told the doctor what he had just heard in detail.
A dark look flashed in Ye Lin's eyes. He had thought that the plague might be real but was being exploited by that old fool. But now... this plague was really strange.
The two of them were busy all day before returning to a remote courtyard.
Ye Lin sent Yun Xi back to his room and carefully instructed him, "I'll be back later. Don't leave casually."
Yun Xi frowned. "Can't you take me with you?"
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Yun Xi got a flick on the forehead from Ye Lin. His eyes were full of gritted teeth. "I'm telling you, I never intended to bring you here. You came secretly. Now that you're here, you have to listen to me!"
He really owed this kid!
Yun Xi waved his folding fan in a pretentious manner. "I came here to protect you in case you died here. Don't be ungrateful."
Ye Lin snorted coldly and then said nothing more. He turned around and left.
Seeing this, Yun Xi shrugged and lazily returned to his room.
About a stick of incense later.
Ye Lin's figure appeared in another small courtyard. Looking at the man sitting under the tree in the yard, a smile flashed in his eyes. "Xiao Heyuan?"
Xiao Heyuan was slightly stunned. When he turned around and saw Ye Lin, his eyes were full of shock. He subconsciously stood up. "Why are you here!"
The capital city was heavily guarded now. How did he get in? Wasn't he afraid of being caught by Mo Yun's people?
Xiao Heyuan naturally knew the person in front of him. He had been by Xue Zhan's side for many years.
A smile flashed in Ye Lin's eyes. "Don't worry. Those people can't stop me. I'm here to ask you for a favor!"
Xiao Heyuan hesitated for a moment. He had a vague guess in his mind. "Are you here about the plague?"
Ye Lin nodded. "Have you seen the corpses? Is it really a plague?"
A solemn look flashed in Xiao Heyuan's eyes. "Of course I've seen them. It does seem like a plague, but I always feel that something is strange, and I can't figure it out."
If only Miss Liu were here.
A cold look also flashed in Ye Lin's eyes. "You can't figure it out either?"
Sure enough, there was something fishy about it.
Xiao Heyuan nodded. "If Miss Liu were here, she might be able to tell something."
Ye Lin blinked. "The Princess?"
How could he forget? The Princess was a great coroner. But... I'm afraid the Prince wouldn't agree.
"Try your best to investigate for me. I'll leave first."
Xiao Heyuan also understood that the capital city was really unsafe now. "Okay, I'll do my best."
In Quanzhou.
Ye Zhe frowned slightly as he looked at the letter in his hand. This matter was really troublesome.
"I heard that there's a plague in the capital city?"
A soft voice came, making Ye Zhe slightly stunned. Then he said respectfully, "Princess."
Looking at the letter paper in Ye Zhe's hand, Liu Rumei frowned slightly. "Is Ye Lin in trouble?"
A gloomy look flashed in Ye Zhe's eyes. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the letter paper. "It's nothing. He can handle it."
The Prince would never let Miss Liu take risks! He was very clear about this in his heart.
Liu Rumei frowned even more. "Is the plague not that simple?"
Ye Zhe nodded. "Yes, Princess. Don't worry. Ye Lin will bring Yun Xi back safely."
Watching Ye Zhe leave, a thoughtful look flashed in Liu Rumei's eyes. "Sixi, help me with something."
