I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 906 His White Moonlight 39
The woman didn't say anything more, because she was already barely breathing and had no strength left to speak.

She lay on the makeshift bed, looking up at the ceiling with blank eyes, as if looking through the ceiling at those memories.

The woman's face was serene, with a hint of relief.

Yuwen Xue realized that something was wrong with the aunt and quickly went out to call a doctor.

But when she and the doctor arrived, the woman had already stopped breathing.

At that moment, Yuwen Xue's mind went completely blank.

Yuwen Xue didn't realize what had happened until the woman was carried out by fully armed men and all the bedding and sheets she had slept in were taken away and disinfected.

Her vision became increasingly blurry, and a warm stream flowed from her eyes, but she dared not wipe it away.

Because she hadn't changed her clothes yet.

After she changed her clothes and saw Yu Muhuai, she burst into tears.

Yu Muhuai looked helplessly at Yuwen Xue in his arms and sighed silently.

Anyone who didn't know better would think I was bullying you.

After that, Yuwen Xue witnessed the deaths of several more patients.

She never cried like that again after that.

Having seen more and more corpses, Yuwen Xue grew stronger and stronger, eventually becoming able to face death with composure.

Witnessing the life and death of others had a great influence on Yuwen Xue.

She has gained a clearer understanding of life. Things that might have been life-or-death in the past are now just minor emotional matters to her.

When Yu Muhuai saw Yuwen Xue again after some time, he felt that her temperament had changed a lot.

She has become much more composed and reserved, no longer the naive and spoiled princess she once was.

Lou Yunsheng was also somewhat stunned.

He didn't know exactly how Yuwen Xue had changed, but he just felt that she was different from before.

Moreover, Yuwen Xue's attitude towards Lou Yunsheng also changed.

For a while, she was very averse to Lou Yunsheng, the kind of person who would avoid him whenever she saw him. If she had no choice but to talk to him, it was as if she was forcing herself to hold something back.

But now, when facing Lou Yunsheng again, she is very calm, neither humble nor arrogant, neither sad nor happy.

They truly became the most familiar strangers.

She used to be overjoyed to see him, but now she ignores him.

It seems love has disappeared.

Is love really this easy to disappear?

Lou Yunsheng reached out his hand, but grasped nothing.

He stood there, looking sadly at his empty palm, then closed his eyes, clenched his fist, placed it on his chest, and felt the sound of his heart breaking.

Lou Yunsheng felt an indescribable sense of panic and loneliness, like a traveler alone in a desolate desert, desperately seeking a spring of water.

Anxious, yet at a loss.

He was once again immersed in his grief and couldn't pull himself out.

The guards exchanged bewildered glances: their master was being greasy again.
A few days after coming up with the bad idea, Qianran was ordered to leave the city again.

The population of Gushui City is large, and one-time supplies are not enough. He also needs to coordinate with various grain merchants, herbal medicine merchants, and so on to transport supplies.

Fortunately, Lou Yunsheng had saved up a lot of money over the years. His secret guards also had people specifically responsible for logistics and making money, so his funds were sufficient to cover the expenses.

However, now they have to support the entire city's living needs, plus additional medical expenses, so the costs are quite high.

When Yu Muhuai negotiated prices with the merchants, he did so entirely in the name of the Prince Duan's residence. Therefore, in the end, the entire cost would fall on Lou Yunsheng's shoulders. The merchants knew that the Prince Duan was a man of integrity, and they had all heard about what happened in Gushui City, so they offered the lowest possible cost price and were not in a hurry to collect the full payment immediately.

But it's still an amount that would frighten people if they said it out loud.

When Qian Ran brought the supplies into the city and reported the expenses to Lou Yunsheng, Lou Yunsheng's eye twitched.

Besides the sound of a heart breaking, he also heard the sound of a heart bleeding.

It's all Zhang Chengdong's fault, it's all the fault of those corrupt officials who embezzled supplies halfway through, it's all Lou Yunxian's fault.

Thinking of this, Lou Yunsheng felt a surge of hatred.

Fortunately, the situation in Gushui City is improving day by day thanks to everyone's efforts.

A month later, the number of new patients in the city was close to zero.

After that, the number of patients in the quarantine sites in the city decreased every day, and the air seemed to become fresher and fresher.

More than a month passed between the initial vacating and disinfection of the first quarantine site and its conversion into other rooms, and the completion of cleaning the last quarantine site.

It took the entire Valley City more than two months to finally completely defeat the plague.

After the last patient recovered from the epidemic, Lou Yunsheng sent his trusted confidant by fast horse to the capital to inform the emperor of the good news.

However, Gushui City is not yet under lockdown and will need to be observed for a period of time before the city gates can be opened to completely declare the end of the epidemic.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy and causing them to take any adverse actions, Lou Yunsheng sent his men out secretly via back roads.

The city gates remained tightly locked, blocking out all probing glances from the outside.

Life in the city continued as usual.

Lou Yunsheng did not announce the victory over the epidemic to the public for the time being, so the people in the city continued to live their lives as usual.

The people were unaware that the number of patients in the city had been reduced to zero. Most people stayed indoors and carried face masks and protective clothing when they went out.

Lou Yunsheng was mainly worried that if he told the people about this, they would become too excited and want to leave the city as soon as possible, which would expose the news.

Therefore, remaining inactive is the best option at present.

However, despite the seemingly calm surface, undercurrents were surging beneath the surface.

More than two months ago, after the court discussed the plague in Gushui City, there has been no further news about it.

It seems that Gushui City has been deliberately forgotten by people.

Letters are sent out from Valley Water City regularly, but people outside the city are not allowed to leave. So the letters have to be handed out and then delivered to the capital by people outside.

However, none of these letters were able to reach the capital.

They were all stopped halfway.

Lou Yunxian's men would certainly not allow any news related to Gushui City to reach the capital.

They would also open the letters and peek inside.

They were very satisfied with this content.

The first two letters both stated that the situation in the city had been effectively controlled. Although the people did not listen at first, they eventually worked hard to fight the epidemic.

This caused Lou Yunxian and his group a great headache.

They had no intention of letting Prince Duan achieve victory in the fight against the epidemic. Seeing that there was progress in the city, they prepared to do everything they could to obstruct the actions within Gushui City.

Just as Lou Yunxian's men were racking their brains for ideas, they received a third letter.

The letter stated that the situation in the city had begun to deteriorate again.
