The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

It took a lot of effort to isolate all the infected people. If they escaped, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

"The prefect has been notified to arrest the person. Once caught, he will be locked up alone."

Shen Ruzhou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

After working hard these past few days to treat the disease, we can’t let it go to waste just like this!

Half an hour later, Commander He came to report: "Your Majesty, the turmoil in the military camp has subsided. My subordinates have also sent people to repair the collapsed wall. It will be repaired as soon as tomorrow!"

Bei Xiuyan looked in the direction of the city gate and responded indifferently, "Yes."

"How are the riots in the city being handled?"

Commander He looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I don't know this. If your Majesty needs it, can I send someone to talk to you?"

Shen Ruzhou said from the side: "Your Majesty, so many people ran away. It would be terrible if they were not brought back in time, causing the plague to further expand."

If these people only make trouble within the city, the scope of the plague will expand to the entire city, but once they flood into other cities, then... the consequences will be disastrous!

Bei Xiuyan put one hand behind his back and rubbed his finger. There was no emotion on his face, "Prepare your horse and go to the prefect's Yamen."

Shen Ruzhou's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's go now."

She hurriedly ran back to the tent and packed up the medicine box.

Time was running out and it was too late to hitch the carriage. Commander He only brought a few fast horses.

Bei Xiuyan took a step forward with his long legs and flew onto his horse. His tall figure sat on the horse with a majestic appearance.

Shen Ruzhou was stunned for a moment and then fell into trouble.

She doesn't know how to ride a horse. If she calls for a carriage again, wouldn't it be a hindrance to the prince?

Just when she was hesitating whether to bravely mount the horse and give it a try, Bei Xiuyan stretched out his long arm around her slender waist and placed her on his horse.

Shen Ruzhou was shocked at first, but by the time she realized it, she had fallen into a generous and safe embrace.

She quickly grasped the reins and raised her heart high, "Thank you, Regent."

Bei Xiuyan's voice came from above his head, "Hold on."

Shen Ruzhou not only tightened her grip, she moved her stiff body and tried hard to move forward. As soon as she moved a little further, a pair of big hands behind her grabbed her waist and grabbed her back.

"Sit tight and don't move."

Shen Ruzhou froze for a moment, and she smiled awkwardly, "I didn't move. I was just worried that it would affect the prince's riding."

"Ah!"

Bei Xiuyan pinched the horse's belly, and the horse galloped out. His indifferent voice was mixed with a hint of warning, "If you move again, I can't guarantee whether you will be thrown off."

Shen Ruzhou immediately grasped the reins, her back pressed against Bei Xiuyan's chest. As the horse's hooves rose and fell, the two of them bumped up and down together, and the occasional collisions between their bodies made his heart itch.

She couldn't help but think of the last time she fell on Bei Xiuyan when changing protective clothing. At that time, she felt that his chest was tight and warm, giving people an indescribable sense of security...

Shen Ruzhou Teng blushed when she realized what she was thinking. She bit her lip and wished she could disappear immediately!

Bei Xiuyan sat condescendingly, taking in Shen Ruzhou's reaction. A rare smile slipped through Bing's eyes just now.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the prefect's Yamen.

Magistrate Xu heard that the regent was coming and hurried out to greet him.

"Xu Yuandao, the governor of Kyoto, has met the regent."

Magistrate Xu is not tall, but he is not light. His round belly makes it difficult for him to kneel down and salute.

Beixiu Yan waved his hand and said, "Prefect Xu, there is no need to be polite. How are things going?"

Xu Yuandao touched his round belly, waved his hand broadly, and smiled flatteringly, "Everything has been taken care of. Prince Regent, please rest assured."

"So fast?"

Shen Ruzhou was shocked. Xu Yuandao looked at him like a man with nothing to do but his appearance. He didn't expect that he could do things so neatly despite his appearance? !

Bei Xiuyan glanced at him indifferently, feeling oppressed, "With so many people and soldiers, Prefect Xu caught them all so quickly and isolated them?"

Xu Yuandao said with a smile on his face, "Yes, no subordinate would dare to neglect the things you have ordered from you, the regent."

Shen Ruzhou couldn't believe it, so she stepped forward and confirmed further.

"It took a long time for the military camp to isolate the soldiers one by one according to the severity of their illness. However, Magistrate Xu moved faster than the military camp. I wonder what kind of superb method was used?"

"Haha, that's it!" Xu Yuandao said proudly after hearing the other party praise him for doing things quickly: "It didn't take much effort, they were all locked up together."

Shen Ruzhou was so shocked that her heartbeat stopped for a moment, and she said sternly: "How can we be locked up together?"

Magistrate Xu waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, these people have come into contact with people infected with the plague, and they will die sooner or later. Why bother trying to distinguish them? We can just lock them together. When they are all dead, they will all be clean."

"you!"

Shen Ruzhou was so angry that his hands were trembling, "You, a dignified official of the imperial court, are so indifferent to human life. You are taking the emperor's salary to share the emperor's worries, but you only do perfunctory things with the salary of the imperial court, and don't care about the lives of the people at all. You are not worthy at all." Be the parent and official of the people!"

"What do you, a woman, know?"

Xu Yuandao looked up and down at Shen Ruzhou, but it was unreasonable for her to be just a woman and to be gesticulating against him as a dignified official of the court.

He was very disdainful of Shen Ruzhou's accusation, "This has been the way we deal with plagues since ancient times. There is nothing wrong with it. Sacrificing a few hundred people here is to save more people. It's a good deal!"

"I am in charge of one area under the emperor's order, so naturally I have to consider the people of the whole city. I can still distinguish what is more important than what is more important."

"fallacy!"

Shen Ruzhou's breathing was rapid, almost violent, "You are simply incompetent! You can't save the people, so using such words as rhetoric is simply ridiculous!"

"Who are you calling incompetent?"

Xu Yuandao was not convinced. This was in front of the prince. This woman simply didn't know how to live or die!

"I'm just following the routine, what's wrong? On the contrary, it's you, a woman, who doesn't take care of your husband and raise your children at home, but shows up in public at such a time. It's simply contrary to the law of heaven, and has no law-"

"The king thinks you are the one who has no law, right?!"

Beixiu Yan shouted angrily, his tone was so cold that it was almost freezing, "Since Magistrate Xu can't be an official, let someone else do it."

Xu Yuandao's expression changed greatly, "What did I do wrong, and why should I be punished? Please explain to the regent."

Bei Xiuyan looked at him condescendingly, his eyes stern, "I don't need to explain to you what I do. Someone, drag this mediocre official down."

"Yes!"

He Tong and others dragged Xu Yuandao down.

"Prince Regent, I am right, but I am unjust!"

Xu Yuandao's voice disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Here, Shen Ruzhou had already called the master of the government office and asked where the captured people were being held.
