After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

"Old Four, what do you think?"

Yinzhen took a step forward, bowed and saluted, looking unperturbed, "Replying to the Emperor, I will follow your arrangements on this matter."

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince secretly sighed that the Fourth Prince was stupid. Such a dangerous and thankless job should naturally be pushed to others.

Kangxi looked at the many sons standing in front of him and felt extremely disappointed.

Now it seems that the fourth child has changed the most and grown the most after getting married.

He sighed in his heart, "In that case, then the third and fourth brothers will go together."

The Third Prince's heart suddenly tightened, as if someone had grabbed him and thrown him to the ground.

Why was it his turn now? He stood there in a daze.

"My son takes orders."

Yinzhen's expression remained calm and he responded in a calm voice.

Then he retreated back into the crowd and stepped on the Third Prince without making a sound.

The other party finally reacted and stepped forward to salute and receive the order.

The other princes breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned.

Having received the imperial edict, Yinzhen immediately returned to his tent to pack his things as time was precious and no time was wasted.

In fact, the eunuchs had already packed his clothes and other things for him. He came back just thinking about writing a letter back to his wife.

But after writing for a long time, his mind was blank and he didn't know how to tell this matter to the young lady.

But I was afraid that telling her would make her worry.

The concubine was so delicate that if she knew that he had gone deep into the city where the plague was raging, she would probably be so worried that she would cry.

The young eunuch guarding the door was already urging them.

He sighed deeply and finally wrote only four words: "Busy, safe."

For safety reasons, the southern tour's camp was stationed dozens of miles outside the city. They needed to ride horses into the city, and the carts behind them were loaded with various medicinal herbs, liquor, and quicklime.

The third prince Yinzhi followed closely behind him, his eyes full of worry for him.

He has been weak since childhood and will definitely not be able to escape. Thinking of this, Yinzhi's nose felt sore and his eyes gradually became moist.

Fortunately, everyone was wearing masks made overnight by the embroiderers, so no one saw him shed tears.

Yinzhi used his legs to hold the horse's belly with a little force, and the horse under him took a few quick steps to catch up with the figure in front.

He tilted his head and asked quietly, "Old Four, are you really not afraid of death?"

Hearing the sob in his voice, Yinzhen pursed his lips under the mask and frowned in slight surprise.

The third brother, a grown man, actually cried? How could his wife tolerate him normally?

He turned his head and looked over, just in time to see the other person's red eyes through the mask, and then immediately looked away as if he had seen a ghost.

"Won't die."

Yinzhen spoke calmly, his tone calm and composed, as if he was just completing a normal official duty.

The team entered Huai'an City from the east gate like a long dragon.

Apart from the garrisons guarding the city gates and the soldiers patrolling the streets, there was no sign of any ordinary people.

All the sick people were gathered in an urban area, and those who were not sick dared to hide at home for fear of being infected with the disease.

The place they were going to was the government office in the city.

While riding on the street, Yinzhen suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you write a letter to your wife just now?"

Although Yinzhi stopped crying, he was still feeling a little depressed.

He replied listlessly, "Of course I wrote it. I told her that I was going to the city with the fourth brother. If she accidentally contracted the plague and died, there was my hidden money in the study, and also..."

Yinzhen's eyes were cold. This damn third brother actually wrote such details in the letter in such a short time.

If the young lady knew about this from her third sister-in-law... he would get angrier the more he thought about it.

"what--"

Yinzhi said a lot of gibberish, but before he could finish, Yinzhen kicked him on the butt. The horse under him was frightened and ran away instantly.

If he hadn't pulled the reins tightly, he would have fallen flat on his face in front of so many officers and soldiers.

"Old Four, what are you doing~~~~"

The horse under him kept crossing various obstacles in front of him, while Yinzhi on the horse shouted at the top of his voice.

His voice trembled in the wind, with a long tail behind it.

A burst of laughter came from the team following closely behind.

This laughter was like a medium, breaking the haze of certain death that had shrouded everyone's hearts, dispersing the panic and uneasiness that filled the air, and making a trace of ease and relief briefly appear on everyone's face.

In the East Three Houses, Xiyu finally received the reply letter from Yinzhen.

Although there were only four short words on it, it finally put her mind at ease.

She called Chunshi in, asked her to wash and dress up, and then went out.

Because of her worries, she hadn't been to the Cining Palace to talk to the Empress Dowager for several days. Today was a good day with a good mood.

Today, the second half of "The Cute Little Fox Chasing Her Husband, the Domineering General Has Nowhere to Hide" will be sold in large quantities in the bookstore, so she asked her fourth brother to send a few copies yesterday.

When she arrived at the Cining Palace and handed the book to Yun Ran, she successfully received an admiring look.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you must know the author of this book, how could you get the genuine book in the first place?"

Hearing Yun Ran ask this, Xiyu's hand holding the teacup shook and the tea in the cup almost spilled out.

She smiled lightly and replied calmly, "If I really knew the author, I wouldn't have to wait so long to read the second half."

Realizing that the tea in her hand had become warm, Xiyu used the lid to push away the foam on top, took a sip, and the unique flavor of the tea spread in her mouth.

"This tea..."

Before she could finish her question, the teacup in her hand slipped to the ground for some unknown reason, making a crisp sound.

The tea soaked the corner of Xiyu's clothes, leaving a wet mark, and broken porcelain pieces splashed up. Fortunately, she reacted very quickly and dodged to the side in time to avoid being scratched on the neck by the broken porcelain pieces.

All this happened so suddenly that her heart beat much faster.

Xiyu's fingers were a little stiff, her expression was a little dazed, and she felt very helpless.

Just now clearly...

"Fourth daughter-in-law, are you okay?"

The Queen Mother noticed that she looked unhappy and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her smile seemed a little forced.

"My granddaughter-in-law is fine, but the clothes are dirty and I'm afraid they need to be changed."

Xi Yu stood up and prepared to go to the side hall to change her clothes, but she was inexplicably panicked and did not notice the broken porcelain pieces under her feet, and she stepped on the ten-centimeter-high bottom of the flower pot without any preparation.

Her body fell forward uncontrollably and fell to the ground, shocking everyone in the hall.

"Fourth sister-in-law!"

Yun Ran quickly stood up and took two steps forward.

Chunshi and Nanny Fanglan helped the person up. Xiyu still looked frightened and felt pain in her knee.

I'm so unlucky today, is it not advisable to go out?
