The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

His behavior only intensified Fang Qingyou's bad premonition.

At this point, the expressions of all the people in the dark blue robes changed.

It seems something really has happened in Lingnan City?

Luo Qianmo's deep, beautiful eyes were completely black, making it impossible to see his expression. Only a few traces of confusion and worry could be seen in the depths of his eyes.

Before leaving, he entrusted Lingnan City to She Ruifeng. With his abilities and the assistance of Xuanhuang and Xuanqing, Lingnan City should not have any problems.

Moreover, in addition to his overt forces, he also secretly left behind many subordinates.

Under such circumstances, Lingnan City should have been impregnable, so how could something have happened?

"Ruanmengyun, tell me quickly, what exactly happened in Lingnan City?" Fang Qingyou asked anxiously, unable to help but worry.

Fang Runting, Elder Xing, and Mingyue are all in Lingnan City, along with the Lingnan Prefect and the disaster victims—so many lives at stake.

She didn't want anything to happen, and she especially didn't want anything to happen to any of them.

Seeing that Fang Qingyou was so anxious that she was about to cry, Yi Lingyun finally couldn't bear it. She bit her lip and said, "Qingyou, don't worry. We received news a few days ago that there seems to be an outbreak of some disease in Lingnan City."

Although he was willing to tell her the answer, he was unwilling to tell her the truth.

Because the truth is just too terrible.

"Illness, what illness?" Fang Qingyou asked almost immediately.

Before Yi Lingyun could answer, his expression changed drastically.

The illness that made Yi Lingyun and the others look so pale must not be a minor disease; it must be a highly contagious and severe illness.

Realizing what was happening, Fang Qingyou felt her breathing become sluggish.

Does this mean that the disease that broke out in Lingnan City was actually a plague?

Her delicate eyebrows were almost furrowed together. It's no wonder she was worried. So many imperial physicians and folk doctors were in Lingnan City. If they couldn't control the plague, it would probably be just as difficult to deal with as a terminal illness, and it was a highly contagious one at that.

Fang Qingyou bit her lower lip tightly. Xiaoyaozi was still in Lingnan City. Could it be that he was also helpless against the plague?

If that's the case, I'm afraid even she would be powerless to change it.

Thinking of this, my eyes instantly turned red.

If this is true, does it mean that Lingnan City has become a dead city?

Have those people she couldn't bear to part with already disappeared?

I was unwilling to admit this guess, but I felt mostly regret.

If she hadn't insisted on coming to Hengnan Mountain, and if she had stayed in Lingnan City, would the outcome have been different?

It's all her fault for insisting on pursuing the truth about the insect outbreak. If she had come later, after the plague in Lingnan City had subsided, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

She thought she had everything arranged perfectly, and that temporary peace would be permanent peace, but she never expected this unexpected turn of events.

Seeing that Fang Qingyou had bitten her lower lip until it bled without even realizing it, Yi Lingyun felt a pang of heartache and quickly comforted her, "Qingyou, don't worry. Although there's been an outbreak of disease in Lingnan City, the imperial court has already sent people to provide support. Perhaps after a few days, the situation in Lingnan City will have improved."

In fact, the outbreak in Lingnan City was indeed a plague. When he received the news, he was not optimistic about this place that had almost become a dead city, but for now he could only comfort Fang Qingyou.

He didn't know if he was comforting Fang Qingyou or himself. Elder Xing was also in Lingnan City. He wondered if he was alright.

Given his physical condition, he should be fine, right?

The more Yi Lingyun tried to comfort her, the more upset Fang Qingyou became.

Because although he said that, he forgot that he would never lie. His thoughts were almost entirely written on his face. Just by looking at his expression, she knew that her guess was true.

His words were merely words of comfort.

"Ruan Mengyun, thank you for your help today, but I'm in a hurry to return to Lingnan City, so I won't stay any longer. If you come to Kyoto another day, remember to come and find me, and I'll definitely treat you to a meal then." Fang Qingyou said, and was about to leave.

She had originally planned to catch up with Yi Lingyun, but she really wasn't in the mood for it now.

After thinking for a moment, she added as a promise: "Ruan Mengyun, as long as Elder Xing is still alive, I will definitely return to you an Elder Xing who is safe and sound."

As long as Elder Xing is still alive when she returns, no matter how difficult it may be, she will definitely cure him.

If it weren't for her, Elder Xing could have been completely spared this disaster.

After saying that, Fang Qingyou hurriedly took a step.

Seemingly sensing her anxiety, Little White, who had run away to hide, ran out of the woods and ran towards her.

Watching Fang Qingyou's departing figure, Yi Lingyun felt deeply disappointed. He really didn't know how to comfort people. He had meant to make her feel less upset, but instead, he made her even more heartbroken.

"Xiao You..." He wanted to call out to her, but his voice was so low that it was barely audible, probably only he could hear it.

Anyway, Fang Qingyou, who had already run away, definitely couldn't hear it.

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Green Field asked with a bitter face. Although he was somewhat afraid of Elder Xing, the thought that he might not be alive made him feel even more depressed.

Yi Lingyun remained silent, but Elder Liang spoke first.

“Young Master, Elder Xing is in Lingnan City. Perhaps we should go and take a look, but we can’t delay the task of tracking down the remnants of the Demon Shadow Palace.”

Yi Lingyun knew all this, but she was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't have any good ideas, so she asked, "Elder Liang, do you have any thoughts?"

"Young Master, we..."

On the other side, as Fang Qingyou ran away, Yuefei realized what was happening and quickly followed after her.

"girl!"

Luo Qianmo and Xuan Lan also summoned their horses.

Their anxiety was no less than Fang Qingyou's.

Before leaving, Luo Qianmo turned back to look at Yi Lingyun, his dark eyes revealing no emotion.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou had already sat on Xiaobai's back, and Yuefei jumped on behind her, and the two rode away together.

Behind them, Luo Qianmo, Xuan Lan, and the others also chased after them.

In a short while, the group had all left, leaving only a wisp of dust in their wake.

Yi Lingyun followed almost subconsciously, his mind drawn to that slender figure, but Green Field pulled him back: "Young Master!"

Upon seeing this, Elder Liang frowned.

He admired Fang Qingyou, but he could also see that she had a very close relationship with Luo Qianmo. However, he found that his young master's attitude towards her seemed to go beyond friendship.
