Both worlds are like dreams

Seeing that everyone was still worried, Lu Wenxuan glanced at Xue Huang on the high platform, and then said: "Everyone, this is Princess Changle of the Beiling royal family. After hearing that there was a plague in Muhua City, she resolutely entered the city to rescue, so the court will not give up this place. Everyone must stay calm and do as we say."

Xue Huang glanced at the crowd. The people were in a panic now. They really needed an identity that could calm the situation down. So she took off her veil and placed the princess's token in front of the crowd. Her voice was clear but firm as a mountain and a rock. "I am Princess Changle of the Beiling royal family. I am willing to live and die with the people of Muhua."

Everyone looked at the woman in white on the high platform, and for a moment they were shocked by her stunning appearance, and her words seemed to reassure everyone. If a princess of the royal family came here in person to save their lives without fear of danger, the court would definitely not give up this place.

At once, hope ignited in everyone's hearts, and they all knelt down, "Greetings, Princess!"

Xue Huang looked at these people worshipping devoutly and sighed helplessly in her heart. She was just a princess in name only, she did not bear the responsibilities of a princess, she only enjoyed the dignity of a princess, but one day she was worshipped by so many people, what virtue did she have?

"Everyone, get up quickly." Xue Huang said. "As General Lu said, go home quickly."

"May I ask the princess?" a woman asked cautiously, "How can we tell whether it is a cold or a plague?"

Xue Huang patiently explained: "The main symptoms of this plague are coughing, general weakness, physical weakness, and night sweats. You should pay attention when you have these symptoms, especially fever. If you have such a situation, you must report it immediately and accept isolation voluntarily. Don't hide it, otherwise not only will you not be able to cure yourself, but you will also implicate your family."

"If we go out for quarantine, does that mean we're dead?" someone else asked.

"That's not the case," Xue Huang explained. "All the people who are sick have been placed outside the city according to their symptoms. The doctors in the city are also doing their best to treat them. This disease is not incurable, it just progresses more slowly. And this disease is also related to a person's physical constitution. You can do some proper labor at home to strengthen your body, so the possibility of contracting the disease will be much smaller. You must boil vinegar for disinfection on weekdays. If you have wine at home, you can also use it to wipe the house. You must always wear a face towel, and it is best to wash it with wine."

The people listened carefully to Xue Huang's words and kept them in mind.

"Okay, everyone go back. If you have any questions, you can go to the General's Mansion to ask."

After hearing her words, the people rushed back home.

"General Lu," Xue Huang landed beside him, "Can you arrange for some people to visit every household every day to check on their situation?"

"No problem." Lu Wenxuan said.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the city gate returned to calm. The ice wall built by the Snow Phoenix also collapsed in an instant, leaving only a pile of ice debris.

Hua Yu came over, took Xue Huang's hand, and said with relief: "You have grown up, and are much more stable than before." She has not forgotten how naughty Xue Huang was when she was in Guigu, doing all kinds of things all day long, and almost demolished the house. Now that she has been traveling with Rong Yu for three years, she has become much more stable.

"I can't just accept their worship for nothing." Xue Huang said with a smile. "I have to do something I can."

"Just now, the secret agent of Tianqi mentioned that the message sent to Shangyang City might be intercepted. What should we do?"

Lu Wenxuan came over and said, "What I'm worried about is that the message was intercepted not by Tianqi's secret agents, but from within Beiling."

"You mean Shen Congfeng?" Xue Huang frowned slightly. "What good will this do him?"

"He has been trying to win me over for so many years, but I have rejected him every time. He never shows mercy to those who cannot submit to him." Lu Wenxuan said.

Xue Huang suddenly remembered what Wei Yunzhou had said to her: In the eyes of Shen Congfeng and his people, there are only two kinds of people in the world, those who can be used by them and those who cannot be used by them. All those who cannot be used by them are potential threats. Xue Huang looked solemn. Shen Congfeng had colluded with Tianqi three years ago. Would he take this opportunity to eliminate the defenders of Muhua City and let Tianqi take the city? "Is there any other way to spread the news?"

"The spy from Tianqi should know something. Maybe we can get something out of him." Lu Wenxuan said. "I will go and interrogate him personally."

"Thank you, General," Xue Huang said, "I will go back to the General's Mansion to see how the alcohol extraction is going."

Hua Yu glanced at Lu Wenxuan and said, “I’ll send her back, and you have to be careful too.”

Lu Wenxuan nodded, mounted his horse and left.

Xue Huang and Hua Yu also returned to the General's Mansion. Nearly 100 kilograms of alcohol had been extracted and stored in jars. But this was far from enough.

"Don't worry," Hua Yu comforted her, "I'll find someone to help. It will be possible."

"Aunt, you have to be careful too." Xue Huang said.

Hua Yu nodded and left the general's mansion.
