Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453: Incurable (1)

The Crown Prince ultimately did not personally enter the General Residence; instead, he entrusted the matter to Gu Qingheng, emphasizing that he must control the epidemic, prevent its spread, and make every effort to aid those injured soldiers.

If the worst were to occur… then proper consolation must be carried out.

And he would surely seek revenge for everyone.

The angered Crown Prince then led his troops straight to Governor’s Office Pass.

Gu Qingheng certainly did not dare to neglect the matter. If the epidemic were not handled properly, there would be no need for the Yuan troops to intervene; the entire Great Xuan Dynasty could be thrown into chaos on its own.

However, although the six Military Doctors left behind were experienced Doctors, controlling the epidemic was not so simple, especially for the soldier who had initially been bitten by the madman and had been in a high fever and unconscious. Although one Military Doctor managed to save the man’s life with a folk remedy, it could not cure him. He was still breathing but remained unconscious.

And the fever of those soldiers who fell ill later on seemed not to have lessened.

“Big brother, no illness has been found elsewhere,” Gu Yao reported as he led a thorough inspection of Jin City these past few days, “it’s only present in the General Residence. The Military Doctors said that a dead rat had been fed some sort of poison, a very rare one that they have never seen before, and thus they cannot find an antidote… Fortunately, the well in the General Residence is separate and not connected to other places, so other water sources are temporarily uncontaminated… Only…”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Qingheng had been writing something with his head down and suddenly looked up.

“It seems that one of the Military Doctors has also become infected…”

Gu Qingheng couldn’t help but stand up: “I’ll go take a look.”

“Big brother, you can’t go,” Gu Yao hurriedly stopped him, “the disease is said to be transmissible through breathing; I’ve already cleared out anyone within a mile of the General Residence.” Though there were hardly any people left to begin with.

Gu Qingheng’s brows furrowed: “Is there really no solution?”

“Big brother, as it stands, the Military Doctors are somewhat at a loss…” Gu Yao looked quite distressed, “Maybe we could ask Sister-in-law to take a look?”

“No,” Gu Qingheng shook his head decisively, “Although her Medical Skills are not bad, but…” he didn’t want her to take the risk.

“Or maybe seek help from Dao Xuzi…”

Gu Qingheng remained silent. If they really could get help from the senior master, then the problem shouldn’t be too big, only…

Just then, the sound of an eagle’s cry came from outside. Soon after, Xiaohei walked in with a steady gait.

A smile appeared on Gu Qingheng’s face as he reached out to pat Xiaohei’s head, then took the letter from his leg.

Yang Ruxin briefly mentioned her situation in the letter, then told him that she would be heading home in the next few days, and telling him that since they couldn’t celebrate his birthday together this year, they should strive to do so next year.

The smile at the corner of Gu Qingheng’s mouth became even more tender, and then he tied the letter he had just finished writing onto Xiaohei’s leg: “Go.”

Xiaohei took a solemn step out, and right upon leaving the tent, he let out a cry and soared into the sky.

Gu Qingheng glanced at Gu Yao: “Let’s go and take a look.”

“Big brother…”

But Gu Qingheng paid him no heed and strode out of the tent.

Yang Ruxin returned to the Dong Family in Hangzhou, first wrote a letter to Gu Qingheng, and then introduced Yang He to everyone, especially Yang Miao. From now on, to outsiders, they would be sisters.
