Hearing Shen Chu's words, Xie Ming frowned, "What?"
Shen Chu nodded slightly, staring at Xie Ming for a long moment before speaking again, "I thought His Highness wouldn't let me out. It seems I misunderstood His Highness."
I thought Xie Mingxiang was going to keep a beautiful girl in a golden house, but it seems she was overthinking it.
“Why don’t these people leave?”
Shen Chu took the initiative to skip the topic and turned his attention to the disaster victims who were still staying not far away. They all had the same characteristics: tattered clothes, dull eyes, and they still didn't know how to leave after watching the surroundings become empty.
Like...losing my mind.
As soon as this idea came up, Shen Chu couldn't help but frown.
How could this be?
I hope she is wrong.
"Miss, I don't know your last name, I'm sorry."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed out, grabbing a person with one hand, with an expression on his face that was hard to describe.
"These people are sick, there's something wrong with their brains."
what?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
Is there something wrong with your brain in the superficial sense?
This answer did not satisfy Shen Chu, so he spoke again after a moment.
"What do you mean? Are all these people sick at the same time?"
Being able to ride in the same carriage with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the lady in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. The middle-aged man didn't want to say it at first, but changed his mind after seeing Xie Ming next to Shen Chu.
He considered his words for a moment, then said, "It's just... maybe I ate something wrong."
Because many people in Yancheng had nothing to eat later, in order to avoid starving to death, they had to go up the mountain in the rain to dig wild vegetables.
I dug up everything I could eat, and at first nothing happened.
But after half a month, problems began to arise.
Many people who ate wild vegetables began to become mentally retarded. It wasn't serious at first, but later on, their minds became like those of children. Even calling their names had no effect.
"These people are just like that, and we haven't figured out what kind of wild vegetables caused them to become like this."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but lower his head when he said this, feeling a little ashamed to face Xie Ming.
"How do you know so much?"
Shen Chu's expression was grim, and she asked what she wanted to ask.
When asked this question, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "I am a doctor at Rensheng Hospital. These people are under my care, but I can't find a way to cure them..."
After explaining the whole process, the middle-aged man wanted to take the person away, but before he could take two steps away, Shen Chu spoke up and asked him to stay.
"Don't leave yet."
Shen Chu slowly stepped down from the carriage, his gaze sweeping over the middle-aged man and the dull, wooden figures, his eyes quizzical, "Are there many people like this in Yancheng?"
The middle-aged man pondered this question for a while before answering, "Quite a few, at least a few hundred people."
That’s quite a lot.
"Your Highness, are there any people from the Imperial Hospital accompanying you?"
When she called Xie Ming, her tone and attitude were extremely casual, and anyone with eyes could see it.
This shows that she and Xie Ming are extremely familiar with each other.
The middle-aged man also looked at Xie Ming.
If someone from the Imperial Hospital could help, perhaps... he could find the cause of the disease quickly.
But Xie Ming's answer disappointed him.
"No, I hadn't heard of this situation when I left Beijing."
If this news had spread when he left Beijing, he would definitely have brought with him those doctors with excellent medical skills from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
"Indeed, the spies may think these people are born stupid... If Jiang works harder, perhaps he will gain something."
Shen Chu clenched his fingers as he watched him leave with those people whose minds were like those of children.
"Your Highness, do you want to borrow a few people from the Imperial Hospital now?"
She was very close to Xie Ming, and she felt very uncomfortable watching such a tragic situation happen in front of her while being powerless to do anything.
This question has not been answered for a long time.
Shen Chu thought he would not get this answer. Just as he was about to turn around and get on the carriage, Xie Ming's voice came over, "Yes, I will ask them to send the person here as fast as possible."
There was silence all around, and Xie Ming's voice clearly entered Shen Chu's ears, causing Shen Chu to slow down his pace.
"Okay! Your Highness is wise!"
She turned her head with a bright smile on her face.

Because of the continuous heavy rain, every house in Yancheng was covered with moss. Even if the best wood was used, it would still rot severely.
After Xie Ming came here, the county lieutenant of Yancheng arranged the best villa for him. But even in such a nice villa, the first thing Shen Chu saw when he walked in was still moss.
My eyes widened when I saw the green traces on the bluestone slabs.
It seems that there is really no better villa here.
Otherwise, if it were somewhere else, if they heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming here, it would be considered neglectful not to build a new house for Xie Ming on the spot, but Yancheng only offered such a courtyard.
Of course, Shen Chu was not the only one who noticed this. The county lieutenant who brought Xie Ming here was so frightened that he couldn't move his hands and feet properly when he saw this situation.
"Your Highness... This, this must be because they didn't clean it up properly. It's definitely not that Yancheng wants to neglect His Highness the Crown Prince... I will send someone to clean it up immediately."
As he said this, he even wanted to kneel down and apologize.
But Xie Ming didn't care at all when he heard his words, and walked in.
It was as if he didn't notice the moss all over the ground.
The servants following behind the county lieutenant were so frightened that they dared not walk. The county lieutenant stared at them and they didn't say a word for a long time.
It wasn't until the county lieutenant's slap was about to hit him in the face that he finally realized what was going on. He hurriedly began to explain, "I sent someone to clean it up. I came here to check yesterday. It was just one night..."
Who would have thought that these mosses grew so vigorously and could grow so much overnight?
The county lieutenant wanted to say something, but when he saw Xie Ming had already walked in, he had to give up. He glared at him fiercely and hurried to catch up with Xie Ming.
"Your Highness, how about you wait a moment? After everyone has cleaned up this place, it's fine for Your Highness to come in later..."
He really wanted to make amends, but Xie Ming didn't give him the chance. He shook his head nonchalantly and said, "No need. Just make do with it."
This overly easy-going attitude made the Yancheng county party committee a little stunned. He stood there for a while and wanted to continue struggling after a while, but before he could open his mouth, someone took the lead.
The voice came from outside, with some nonchalantness.
"Since my prince can tolerate it, I will tolerate it too."
