"Is it strange that I want to save someone?" Gu Qianyue looked at him suspiciously. "Or, you don't want to?"

“No, no…” The ghost doctor didn’t know what to say for a moment and kept waving his hands.

Then he adjusted his mood and said, "Master, I am a ghost doctor who can only kill people. How can I save people? Isn't this breaking the rules?"

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect this old man to be so principled and only kill people!" Xiao Lan laughed, isn't this the same as Qian Qian before? In the end, Qian Qian chose to save people in order to help me repair it, although many times it was through the hands of others.

Money also goes against one's own conscience, so it must be very painful.

Xiao Lan was laughing until her mood fell to the bottom.

"This conflict?" Gu Qianyue looked at him and said.

"Before you chose to become a ghost doctor, wasn't it just to save people?"

After hearing this, the ghost doctor fell silent. Gu Qianyue was the only one who told the truth. If that incident had not happened, how could I have been burdened with so much bad reputation?

"Despite this, I don't want to save anyone," the ghost doctor refused.

Seeing that being friendly didn't work, Gu Qianyue decided to resort to force. She immediately changed her expression and asked, "Do you think I'm negotiating with you?"

The ghost doctor finally realized that the rumors were true. The leader of Linglong Pavilion was moody and changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

"You make your own choice! Will you follow me obediently to save people, or choose to die?" Gu Qianyue said coldly, taking out a transparent bead in her hand and spinning it.

“Hahahaha…” The ghost doctor laughed awkwardly and said, “Since the Pavilion Master has invited me so kindly, then I will just follow him. There is no need to fight or kill, right?”

Gu Qianyue gave him a look and praised him for his tact.

Then he waved his sleeves and white powder flew towards the ghost doctor's face. The ghost doctor fainted on the ground before he could react.

"Qian Qian, it will be too late if we don't leave now. Someone has reported to the prince and is preparing to send heavy troops to surround the East Palace and search it." Xiao Lan suddenly urged.

Gu Qianyue dragged the old man and disappeared into the dark night.

"Your Highness, we didn't find him!" The guards reported tremblingly, fearing that the prince's anger would be directed at them.

"Waste!" The prince threw down his wine glass and roared.

The staff behind him said: "Your Highness, this should not be a simple matter. It is definitely not something that can be accomplished by one person. There must be a traitor."

The prince listened to his aides and asked them to investigate one by one.

After everyone had left, the prince said gloomily, "Find a way to raise another batch of silver."

"Your Highness, this may be a bit difficult. After all, we have just finished collecting them. If we continue..." The aide said hesitantly.

"The missing batch must be handed over to the emperor, and must be found." The prince looked at him with sinister eyes, and then said, "Are the ministers in charge of these matters really clean?"

After hearing this, the staff shut up and started to arrange the follow-up matters, thinking about how to make those ministers speak money.

The woman on the bed trembled and hugged the quilt, not daring to say a word.

The prince came to the bedside and looked at her sinisterly. Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman's neck, breaking her neck despite her pleas for mercy.

Then the secret guard came out and dragged the woman out and dealt with her.

"Master, who is this?" Fang Zheng looked at the old man and said.

"He is a ghost doctor. Throw him into the dungeon for a few days. Send him to Qingfeng Town when the time is up." After giving the order, Gu Qianyue turned around and left. She really came and went without a trace.

Fang Zheng looked at his dumbfounded subordinate, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take him away quickly."

"No, master, has the Pavilion Master's martial arts improved a lot?" Gu Er asked sincerely.

Fang Zheng yawned and said, "Don't ask about the master's affairs. Hurry up and ask the ghost doctor to go back to his room and sleep. Aren't you sleepy?"

Then Gu Er quickly threw the man into the dungeon and walked away with a swagger. When the people in the dungeon saw Gu Er, they trembled and huddled together.

As the sky brightened, the palace gates gradually opened and all civil and military officials entered in an orderly manner.

"Long live my king!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked around secretly but found that the prime minister was not there. He kept tapping the handle of Longyin with his fingers, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When Eunuch Li saw His Majesty's gesture, he shouted loudly: "If you have anything to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court."

Since there was really nothing to say, everyone prepared to bow and leave the court.

"Your Majesty, please stay." The prime minister came hurriedly with a stack of papers in his hand.

The emperor was somewhat curious about what this old man was up to, so he just waited quietly for him to speak.

The prime minister ran over in small steps, finally stood up at the head of the ministers, then knelt down and presented the stack of crumpled papers with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is the letter I just received. It concerns the safety of the people of our Li country. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."

The eunuch walked down and handed over the prime minister's paper.

The emperor was a little shocked after reading it. How could it be exactly the same as what happened three years ago? Was it man-made or real?

Then he glared at me and asked, "Are these true?"

"Your Majesty, after receiving this letter, I sent people to investigate as quickly as possible last night and found that it was true, and some of them have escaped. I am afraid..." The prime minister did not mention the worst outcome.

The emperor naturally also realized that if the escapees were not caught, the entire Li Kingdom would become a place of plague.

The ministers were somewhat confused. They knew that something big was happening, but they couldn't guess what it was.

The emperor read out the contents of the paper to the eunuch.

When they knew what had happened, everyone started whispering in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, we need to send someone to settle this matter."

At this moment, both civil and military officials kept their mouths shut, just to reduce their presence.

This is not an easy task. There have been plagues before, and no antidote was found in the end, so all the people in the city had to be burned to death.

No one wants to die.

The emperor looked at the people who were cowering and said, "Who among you is willing to go? I will reward you handsomely."

After a long while, no one spoke and the prime minister told him to go, but the people he had promoted stopped him, not wanting him to go and die.

"Your Majesty, why not let the prince go there and make amends for his crime?" said the king's uncle.

The prince's party did not understand why the king's uncle wanted the prince to die, and they did not know whether they should agree or not.

The emperor was hesitant. He didn't want the prince to take risks. Everyone was discussing how to solve this problem.

The sky gradually brightened and rumors began to spread. The people were afraid to discuss the matter because the eldest princess had been killed as a warning to others.

But the version circulating this time is different. It tells the romantic history of the eldest princess and the prince, and also includes details of how the eldest princess killed people.

Jiang Yubai couldn't sleep well that night and woke up at dawn.

He sat on the roof, enjoying the breeze, watching the people outside the wall getting up early and busying themselves making a living, while also waiting for an audience with the emperor.

"Report! Your Majesty, I have something important to report!" A guard came in hurriedly.

Eunuch Li hurriedly took the paper from the guard and handed it to His Majesty.

"Ridiculous!" His Majesty said. "Who is spreading this story?"

"The people of... the entire Shangjing City are spreading the news, but we can't find the source." Faced with the pressure from His Majesty, the guards could not bear it anymore and knelt on the ground in cold sweat.

"Waste, all of you waste!" His Majesty cursed.

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you must get to the bottom of this matter." After saying that, he threw the paper handed to him by the guard to Gu Yuan.

The king's uncle also saw it and knew that the prince could not participate in this matter, so he could only find someone who could help the prince.

After Gu Yuan finished reading the contents of the paper, he knelt down to receive the order.

"Then your majesty, what should we do about Qingfeng Town?" The prime minister said again. He didn't care about the royal family's affairs, he just wanted to solve the current predicament of the people.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you let Prince Jiang give it a try. After all, he is about to inherit the title, and it is time for him to go out and gain some experience." The Chief Censor came out and said.
