Upon learning that it must be a plague, Song Ruozhen immediately rushed to the military camp.

Gu Ruyan didn't have time to stop her. She only heard her words before she rode off on horseback and disappeared from sight.

"Zhen'er!"

Gu Ruyan sighed helplessly, knowing in her heart that her daughter had gone to find the prince.

Since the incident at the military camp, Zhen'er has been extremely worried. Now that she knows it's a plague, she rushed over, but... if she gets infected, it would be terrible!

"This girl knows how dangerous the plague is. The King of Chu doesn't let her go because he's worried about her safety!"

When Song Jingshen arrived, he heard Gu Ruyan's words. Although he couldn't help but worry, he also understood that this was indeed his fifth sister's style, and could only say:

"Fifth Sister has always been decisive. Now that she has made up her mind, there is no point in trying to stop her."

Besides, my fifth sister is a skilled physician; perhaps she can help the prince?"

Just then, Chu Muyao came out of the palace to find Song Ruozhen. Her mother had specially sent her here, so she had to remind her sister-in-law not to give anyone any leverage over her at this time.

"What did you say? Your Highness really went to the military camp?"

Chu Muyao hadn't seen Song Jingshen for several days. When she suddenly saw him, she subconsciously straightened her clothes and smoothed her hair, her eyes filled with shock.

Noticing that Madam Song was also there, she composed herself, but secretly she was anxious; she had arrived too late.

When her mother gave her instructions, she thought that her sister-in-law would not do such a thing, but who would have thought that her sister-in-law would actually do it?

Song Jingshen nodded solemnly, "When my fifth sister heard that there might be a plague in the military camp, she rushed there immediately."

You just came from the palace. Do you know the current situation in the military camp? Has the imperial physician come up with a treatment plan?

"What did you say?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Chu Muyao's eyes, and for a moment she did not understand what Song Jingshen was talking about.

When did the plague break out in the military camp?

Now it was Song Jingshen who was confused. After a moment of confusion, he understood and lowered his voice to say:

"The military camp is now on high alert, and no one is allowed to approach. Isn't it because of the outbreak of plague?"

Don't worry, we understand the seriousness of this matter and will definitely not leak it out carelessly. You don't need to hide it from us.

However, Chu Muyao became more and more confused as she listened, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"I haven't heard anything about this. The Empress Dowager only sent me to remind my sister-in-law that something has happened at the military camp, and to tell her to stay at home and not go there..."

Just as she finished speaking, Chu Muyao suddenly realized why she had thought her mother was worrying unnecessarily. Her sister-in-law was a sensible person and would not dare to disturb her.

It turns out that the Empress Dowager's purpose was not this, but to prevent her sister-in-law from taking risks!

"Oh no, I'm too late. I couldn't stop my sister-in-law!"

Chu Muyao couldn't help but get anxious, "Your sister-in-law has already run off, what are you still standing here for? Quickly find a horse and go after her!"

"I was just about to chase after you when you suddenly appeared and blocked my way," Song Jingshen said helplessly.

Chu Muyao: "..."

Gu Ruyan looked at the princess and Jing Shen with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She hadn't known that the two were so familiar with each other.

Regardless, the other party was a princess, yet Jing Shen didn't even offer a proper greeting, which was already disrespectful. Surprisingly, the princess didn't seem to care at all.

Seeing the two of them galloping towards the military camp, she finally realized that this was not a good idea!

……

When Song Ruozhen arrived at the military camp, she found that the situation was much more serious than when she had arrived before.

"Your Highness, please wait!"

When the soldiers on guard saw Song Ruozhen arrive, a look of panic flashed in their eyes, and they quickly called out.

"This is a military camp, and no one is allowed to enter at this time. Your Highness, please return!"

This time, however, Song Ruozhen did not hesitate and walked inside without a second thought.

"I want to see the prince."

"Your Highness, don't come any closer! We're going to find the Prince right now!"

The soldiers were in a panic. The prince had previously instructed that no one was allowed to approach, but the princess seemed determined to do so. It seemed that no one could stop her unless the prince intervened.

But remembering that the prince was unwell last night, everyone's hearts sank, and they wondered if the prince would be able to come out now.

"His Highness was unwell all night, and I heard he finally fell asleep just now. I wonder how he is now?"

"There's nothing we can do now. His Highness instructed us not to let the Princess Consort in. If something happens, none of us can afford the responsibility!"

Song Ruozhen didn't miss their conversation, and her heart tightened immediately. She asked, "What did you say? The Prince is ill?"

Neither of them expected the princess to have such good hearing, and a hint of panic flashed across their faces.

"Your Highness, you've misunderstood..."

"Let me in. I'm a doctor too, maybe I can help."

Song Ruozhen looked serious. She understood that Chu Junting was thinking about her safety, but husband and wife are one, and since something happened, they should both bear the consequences.

Moreover, the plague is extremely serious and concerns the lives of many soldiers. If it can be cured, even more lives can be saved.

This is an urgent matter that cannot be delayed!

Hearing Song Ruozhen's words, the group exchanged glances, and couldn't help but sigh at the unwavering love between the Princess Consort and the Prince.

However, military orders are absolute; the prince said no one was allowed to enter, and that meant no one could get in.

"Brother, we are all unwell, and the imperial physicians have yet to find a cure. Are we going to die?"

Chu Yungui's face was grim. He had thought that the two of them were considered the pride of heaven and should not have such tragic fates.

Who would have thought that the epidemic would spread so quickly? In just a short period of time, a large number of people have been infected.

If this continues, I'm afraid not many people in the entire military camp will be able to hold on.

"Don't worry, he won't die that easily."

Chu Junting offered a word of comfort, his expression heavy with worry. The situation was far more serious than he had imagined. He wondered how Zhen'er was doing now.

Just as he was pondering this, a hurried announcement came from outside:

"Your Highness, the Princess insists on coming in to see you."

"What?" Chu Junting's expression changed drastically. "Why is she here?"

However, the moment he said those words, he already had a guess in his mind. He figured that Zhen'er must have foreseen what was happening in the military camp, which was why she came here on purpose.

"No, she can't come. We have to stop her!"

A hint of panic flashed across Chu Yungui's face. It was exactly what he feared most. His brother was most worried that his sister-in-law would come, and sure enough, she did.

However, considering that the Empress Dowager knew how dangerous the military camp was, she still made a special trip to come, which shows that she really cares about her brother.

Otherwise, why would they risk coming all this way?
