After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Lin Yutang was silent for a moment. "Princess, you don't have to apologize to me. However, His Highness must be very angry this time, so you should be careful in your response."

Murong Yuan's face showed joy when she heard this. Is this caring about her?

Lin Yutang didn't care what Murong Yuan was thinking. He was now thinking about how to get rid of Murong Yuan so that he could do things freely.

So, Lin Yutang asked hesitantly, "What are your plans from now on, Princess?"

"Of course I'll follow you, Lin Yutang. You don't want to abandon me and leave alone, do you?"

After recovering a little, Murong Yuan naturally turned into the aloof eldest princess. Her original embarrassment and depression were now covered up by pride. Lin Yutang couldn't help but admire her secretly. It seemed that he had really underestimated this princess. He didn't expect her resistance to be so good.

Or perhaps it should be said that he is a member of the royal family, and his psychological endurance is amazing.

Lin Yutang thought for a moment, then discussed this matter seriously with Murong Yuan. "Your Highness, it's not that I'm unwilling to accompany you. You should also know the purpose of this trip. This plague is no different from any other; it's something everyone is trying to avoid. And the place I'm heading to is the worst-hit area. I'm sure Your Highness has heard about it along the way. I'm truly worried that if your precious body rashly goes to a place like that, the consequences will be unbearable for me."

Murong Yuan gritted her teeth. Although she knew in her heart that Lin Yutang was doing this for her own good, she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. If she couldn't go with Lin Yutang, she would probably be left behind to wait for her brother. But she didn't want to do that. Compared to going with Murong Feng, she hoped to be alone with Lin Yutang.

"Lin Yutang, you don't have to say anything. I won't go back, and I certainly won't stay here alone. In short, wherever you go, I'll go!"

"But the plague..."

"If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid? What's more, if there's any danger, you will definitely protect me, right?" Murong Yuan said it as a matter of course, but it also left Lin Yutang completely speechless.

Well, if there was real danger, he would indeed stand in front of Murong Yuan, but this was purely because of his status. If a royal princess got into trouble in front of him, his career would probably be over.

Seeing Lin Yutang fall silent, Murong Yuan changed her tone. With a hint of grievance and timidity, she pleaded coquettishly, "Lin Yutang, Lin Zhuangyuan, I know you have a kind heart, otherwise you wouldn't have come out to look for me like this. Can you please not leave me? You don't know how scared I have been these past few days!"

Lin Yutang was slightly moved. It was impossible for him not to feel a little emotional. After all, the woman in front of him was of noble status and had probably never encountered such a frustrating thing. It was said that she met a thief not long after she left. Not only did they steal all her money, but they also wanted to humiliate her and even planned to sell her afterwards.

Although these things sound simple, only those who have experienced them can understand the true hardships. Thinking of this, Lin Yutang felt a little more pity for Murong Yuan.

"Alright, but Your Highness, since you wish to travel with me, then you must obey my arrangements. If you feel it is inappropriate, I think it is best for us to part ways as soon as possible."

Murong Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I'll listen to you in everything."

Lin Yutang had no reason to refuse and could only sigh inwardly. Well, let her follow him. Anyway, he couldn't leave her alone now.

So, Lin Yutang and Murong Yuan temporarily settled down outside Pei County. Before the matter was clarified, he really couldn't act rashly. Although the princess had made her position clear, he couldn't take the risk.

Besides, Yu Qingli and her group unexpectedly met Murong Cheng traveling alone on the way back, which scared Yu Qingli and others. The epidemic situation in Pei County is unclear at the moment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already come out privately. This is really not good news.

Murong Yanhui also said that the prince was a little rash this time. He had never been so impatient, but he didn't know why he had lost his temper this time.

So, after some discussion, they decided to let the prince go with them. On the one hand, they could take care of each other, and on the other hand, with Murong Yanhui by his side, the prince's safety would be guaranteed.

Murong Cheng had no objection to this arrangement. Although he was curious about why Yu Qingli, who was supposed to check the store, appeared outside Pei County, he did not ask any further questions.

The most important thing now is to get into the city as soon as possible, especially after Murong Cheng also saw the mass grave, the murderous intent on his face has never disappeared.

An official who is so careless about human life is simply insane and unworthy of being a human being!

Fortunately, Yu Qingli and the others did not have to wait too long before the city gate officer came to their door. All this was within Yu Qingli's expectations, so when the courtyard where they lived was surrounded by soldiers, Yu Qingli and the others were not too panicked. However, Murong Yanhui and Murong Cheng, because of their long-term status as superiors, were too disdainful to even raise their eyelids to such things.

Even if Yu Qingli had not insisted on entering the city secretly, they could have entered openly. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Yan visiting, who would dare to lock them outside the city?

The city gate official was a little surprised when he saw these people who were said to be traveling doctors. Why did they look so noble? However, after they explained their identities, the city gate official believed them a little.

It is said that this miracle doctor was originally a direct disciple of an imperial physician in the palace, and he was allowed to travel around in order to hone his character. The other two are said to be uncle and nephew. The uncle is a good friend of the miracle doctor and a businessman, while the nephew admires the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River and came here to play with his uncle.

Although this explanation was not perfect, it was reasonable and no one could find fault with it. At least it seemed reasonable to the city gate official. After all, they were merchants from the imperial capital, so it was natural for them to look noble. What's more, these people might have inextricable ties with officials in the imperial capital, so he must curry favor with them.

When the city gate officer was looking at Yu Qingli and his group, Yu Qingli was also looking at him.

This city gate officer looked to be in his early thirties, with regular features, but his pair of wretched eyes made him look a bit servile. He was very tall, but he always had a slightly hunched back, probably due to years of habit. Such a person definitely liked flattery.

"Since you have come from so far away, you must be longing for the charm of Jiangnan. How can you live in such a remote and poor place? How about you come with me to the city and take a look?"

After the introduction, Yu Qingli and the others learned the name of the city gate official and his identity. It seemed that this city gate official named Li Fu was a relative of the county magistrate.

No wonder he is still thinking about getting promoted and making money at this time.

Yu Qingli felt extremely disgusted, but her face remained cold as always. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you to make the arrangements."

"It's no trouble, no trouble. I believe the county magistrate will be very happy to have such a miracle doctor come to our Pei County."

Li Fu's lack of support made Murong Cheng's face suddenly darken. If a city gate official was so eager for quick success, what about the so-called county magistrate behind him? What kind of power was behind these people?

The more Murong Cheng thought about it, the angrier he became. The country and the court were slowly decaying because of the existence of these people, and his father's tacit approval and connivance over the years had made these people even more arrogant.

"What happened to this young master?"

Li Fu noticed that Murong Cheng looked a little strange and asked curiously. Murong Yanhui, who was standing beside him, smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, my nephew probably has some difficulty adapting to the local climate, so he looks so bad. He has never suffered such hardship since he was a child!"

"I see. I see you are from wealthy families. How can you live in such a shabby place? Well, I will prepare the carriage. Please wait for a moment."

Murong Yanhui nodded slightly and gave Changkong a look. Changkong understood and took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and put it in Li Fu's hand.

Li Fu's eyes lit up when he saw the gold, and greed flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. It seemed that this man was ambitious. He did not take the gold, but pushed it away. "Since we are in Pei County, how can I let you spend money? Besides, we still have something to ask the miracle doctor!"

Changkong didn't waste any words and directly put the gold into Li Fu's hand. Before he could refuse, he grabbed his wrist and said in a cold voice: "Our master asked you to keep it, so just take it. Otherwise, you will look down on us."

Changkong used a little force on his hands, and Li Fu felt pain, but he didn't dare to resist. He was secretly surprised. After all, he was a returned soldier. This servant looked low-key, but how could he be so strong? As expected, people from the imperial capital should not be underestimated, even if they were just small servants.

Li Fu had a plan in mind, and the smile on his face became even wider. "That's right, that's right. I'll obey you all. I just don't know your names yet. Would you mind revealing them?"

Murong Yanhui smiled lazily, "This is not inconvenient at all. My last name is Huang, and I am the seventh child in my family. This is my nephew Huang Cheng. As for this miraculous doctor, you can call her Doctor Li."

"So it's Master Qi, Doctor Li. Okay, you two wait here for a moment while I go and make the arrangements."

Li Fu said this and left the farmyard. Shortly after he left, Aunt Zhang came in with a slight frown on her face.
