Chapter 50: Venturing into Gusu City
When she arrived at Lan Cheng'an's villa, Song Qingwan finally understood what it meant to be like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. This was actually the villa of a small local prefect?
On the plaque above the gate of the villa are inscribed the two big characters "Lanyuan". The characters are strong and powerful, and golden as if they were plated with gold powder.
Only after entering the villa did I realize that it was very large. The buildings inside were ingenious, with an exquisite layout and staggered layout. The pavilions, towers, and winding corridors all had been meticulously crafted.
There are stone bridges, rockery and ponds in the courtyard, with gurgling water, fish playing, lotus leaves in the fields and the fragrance of flowers in the air.
Song Qingwan was shocked. Perhaps not all the nobles in the capital had such villas, which showed how wealthy the Jiangnan area was.
Lan Cheng'an arranged Zhao Huaijin and his party in the guest room and assigned a maid to serve them.
"Master Lan, we don't need maids to serve us here, let them go back."
"This...I see that there is no maidservant serving His Majesty, I am afraid that He may be neglected."
"It's enough to have the princess here."
Zhao Huaijin looked at Song Qingwan on the other side, and Lan Chengan immediately understood and gave an expression that said "I understand".
Zhao Huaijin was speechless but too lazy to explain. He made the excuse that he was tired and asked Lan Chengan to go down, saying they could talk about it tomorrow.
"Why did the prince reject Lord Lan's kindness?"
"Awan, are you still hoping that he will arrange those women for me? You can tell at a glance that they are not proper maids, okay?" Zhao Huaijin looked helpless.
"So men can see it too?" Song Qingwan was very surprised.
She felt something was wrong when Lan Cheng'an and the maids came in. How could the maids dress up like that and flirt with her? She smelled of perfumed powder when she came in.
"Hmph! If I can't even see through these tricks, then I'm a prince in vain." Zhao Huaijin looked arrogant.
"Oh my, you're panting even though I told you you're fat? Your Majesty looks like a gentleman when he does this."
"How am I not a gentleman? How can you talk about your husband like that?"
"Yes, yes, you are a gentleman, but I am not, I am not." Song Qingwan leaned forward and looked at Zhao Huaijin with lustful eyes.
This time, Zhao Huaijin was not shy at all. He turned around, looked at Song Qingwan's face and gave her a kiss.
"You... are being rebellious. If you dare to kiss my face today, you'll dare to kiss my mouth tomorrow. Watch out!" Song Qingwan pounced in front of Zhao Huaijin and started tickling him.
“Hahahaha…hahahaha…” Zhao Huaijin was afraid that Song Qingwan would fall so he didn’t dare to make any big movements. He covered his arm while the two of them were making a mess.
On the second day, Zhao Huaijin proposed to go inside Gusu City to take a look, but was stopped by Lan Chengan.
"The city is full of people suffering from the disease. How can Your Majesty take such a risk?"
"Master Lan, do you mean that I have come all the way here just to live in this villa?"
"I don't dare."
"If you don't dare, then get out of the way. The prince and the princess will personally investigate the people's sentiments."
"Yes, I obey."
Seeing that his attempt to stop them was futile, Lan Cheng'an had no choice but to send a carriage to take Zhao Huaijin and Song Qingwan to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city opened the gate to let the two in and then closed the gate again.
The lawyer standing beside him came up to Lan Cheng'an with a worried look on his face.
"My Lord, what should we do if something unexpected happens to the prince?"
"Humph! He asked for this. I have entertained him and persuaded him. King Huai is young and ignorant but he still insists on being stubborn. What can we do?"
"What does your Excellency mean?"
"Report the truth. If it's King Huai... Humph, then it may not be a bad thing for us."
"My subordinate understands."
The master looked at Lan Cheng'an, who had a fierce look on his face, and shut his mouth tactfully.
Zhao Huaijin and Song Qingwan had just entered the city and found that Gusu City had almost become a dead city.
The once bustling streets were now deserted, without a single living person. Occasionally a corpse was found on the roadside being eaten by wild dogs, and the stench of decay could be smelled even through the mask.
"Ugh..." Zhao Huaijin couldn't stand it anymore, he leaned against the wall and vomited.
Song Qingwan also felt uncomfortable, but she had received desensitization training and was already accustomed to the smell of the dead body.
"Stand here for a while, I'll go over and take a look."
"Awan...be careful." Zhao Huaijin looked worried.
"It's okay, I'll pay attention."
Song Qingwan approached a relatively fresh corpse, put on gloves and unbuttoned the corpse's clothes, and found that the corpse was covered with purple papules. The rash spread all over the body, even on the face.
She checked several other bodies and found that the cause of death was the same. Then she quickly took out a syringe and drew some body fluids and put them back into the space.
"Let's go check out the front to see if there is a medical clinic or pharmacy."
"it is good"
Zhao Huaijin nodded and walked in front, paying attention to the movements around him from time to time. Since Song Qingwan had no martial arts skills, he had to protect her.
Suddenly, a young man ran out from the corner and stabbed at the two men with a knife in his hand.
"I will kill you dog officials, I will kill you callous lackeys!"
"careful!"
Zhao Huaijin dodged and held Song Qingwan in his arms. He stretched out a leg and kicked hard, and the man was kicked away.
"Awan, are you hurt?"
"I am fine."
Zhao Huaijin flew forward, grabbed the man and lifted him up.
"Ajin, let go, he's infected!"
When Zhao Huaijin heard Song Qingwan's words, he immediately threw the man to the ground. The man lay on the ground groaning in pain.
"Who are you? Why are you killing someone with a knife in broad daylight?" Zhao Huaijin protected Song Qingwan behind him and stepped forward to ask.
"Hahahaha... In broad daylight, what a bright day. The sky over Gusu city is dark, all dark, hahahaha..." The man lay on the ground, crying and laughing in despair.
Song Qingwan and Zhao Huaijin looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"What do you mean? How many people in this city are infected?"
"Where are the good people? Where are they? Which family doesn't have dead people? The dead are not allowed to be buried. They are just left like this, waiting to die, waiting to die!"
"What about the government? Why didn't they do anything? Didn't they distribute medicine to you?"
"The government? Aren't you in the same group with them? Why are you asking even though you already know the answer? Isn't it the Lan who gave the order? Shouldn't we wait until everyone in the city is dead before we talk about it?"
Zhao Huaijin looked at the man in front of him who was desperate and crazy, and was horrified. He couldn't believe what he saw.
The Great Sage Dynasty is clearly a prosperous era now, with abundant prosperity, and the people living and working in peace and contentment. Why would this situation occur?
Song Qingwan walked forward, squatted down and spoke softly.
"Don't be afraid. I'm a doctor, and this is the current King Huai. We are not with Lan Chengan. We are here to save you."
The man sat up, light burst out from his dead eyes, and he turned to face Zhao Huaijin.
"Are you really the prince?"
"Yes, I am King Huai."
"My Lord, help! Save the people of Gusu City!"
He was about to kowtow after saying this, but Song Qingwan stopped him.
"Take us to a spacious place first. I will treat you first, and then you can talk slowly."
Along the way, there is not a single person as it seems. Everyone is hiding in the dark!
