Chu Yan held Liu Sanniang’s hand. “Wait a moment.”

Chu Yan went to the kitchen, and Liu Sanniang sat in the courtyard and closed her eyes to sense.

Her face was pale, and her lips were drained of color.

Many people died of the plague.

Chu Yan made chicken soup, and Liu Sanniang drank it slowly.

The sky darkened. After drinking the chicken soup, Chu Yan carried Liu Sanniang into the room. “Rest first.”

Hu Yu could not take her eyes off the lovey-dovey couple while Liu Yuanyuan was expressionless.

The sky gradually brightened outside, and the patrolling soldiers began to be afraid.

These days undoubtedly frightened them. Some people who were sick had twisted minds. When the soldiers knocked on the door, they spat at the soldiers. They were crazy and irrational, shouting, “If I can’t live, no one can.”

When more than half of the people in the street were infected, the street would be sealed off. The commoners cried. The number of infected people had already exceeded 5,000. This was a terrifying number.

Some of the older ones had already pa.s.sed away from the plague, and the younger ones had been tortured.

Once people fell into despair, they would go crazy.

They broke through the defense line and clamored for an explanation. The fear and despair from the plague needed to be channeled, and they desperately needed someone to be responsible for all this.

The commoners swarmed in like a tide, and more people joined in. Those who were infected and those who were not, went all out. The soldiers could not stop them and could only report it immediately.

Xia Hongming was burning with anxiety. “Do they want to die? Who is fanning the flames?”

The general kneeling below was very helpless. “I don’t know who it is, but more and more people are asking the emperor for an explanation. They said that even if they have to die, they have to know who caused this.”

Xia Hongming also felt a headache coming on. Xia Bingguang was still seriously ill and couldn’t be disturbed at this point.

“Your Highness, bad news. Those people who are infected said that they want to look for Miss Liu and ask her to give them an explanation!”

An endless stream of commoners joined in. Their eyes were bloodshot. Because of anger, the burning in their bodies became even stronger. The pain made them even more hateful and angry.

Xia Hongming felt terrified just thinking about it. He quickly instructed, “Quick, mobilize 10,000 imperial guards to protect Miss Liu. Are these commoners crazy?”

When Xia Hongyuan heard Xia Hongming’s angry voice, he walked in and looked at him calmly. “Your Highness, other than protecting Miss Liu, you still have something else to do.”

Xia Hongming frowned. “What is it?”

Xia Hongyuan said calmly, “Go and arrest Daoist Yun Guan. My mother has told me something these past few days. The reason why those commoners want Miss Liu to give them an explanation is because they think that Miss Liu brought this plague to them. If you can catch Daoist Yun Guan, you might be able to give the commoners an explanation.”

These few days were h.e.l.l for the people in the capital.

The palace was heavily guarded and was not in chaos. When Xia Hongyuan and Luo Huamei reunited, Xia Hongyuan stayed in the palace. Luo Huamei told him a lot, including the hatred Daoist Yun Guan had for Liu Sanniang.

Xia Hongming’s face darkened. “d.a.m.n it.”

It was not difficult to guess Daoist Yun Guan’s motive. He wanted to force Liu Sanniang to her death.

“Someone, send a secret order to seize Nebula Temple and arrest those Daoists.”

Xia Hongming was very angry. He knew very well how powerful the public criticism was. The commoners were irrational, and Liu Sanniang was in danger.

Xia Hongming gritted his teeth. “Get prepared. I want to leave the palace.”

Xia Hongyuan lowered his head slightly. “Your Highness, can I go with you?”

Xia Hongming was in charge of the palace. Without his permission, no one was allowed to enter and leave the palace at will.

Xia Hongming nodded. “If you want to come, come. But you’d better inform the empress. She’s your mother.”

Xia Hongyuan nodded. “I will.”

Xia Hongming led the soldiers out of the palace.

Xia Hongyuan also got someone to deliver the message to his mother.

Luo Huamei only asked the palace servant to pa.s.s a message to Xia Hongyuan, asking him to be careful.

Xia Hongyuan packed up and left the palace.

Liu Sanniang’s courtyard was already besieged layer by layer. When Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan discovered it, they could no longer leave.

Liu Sanniang finished the chicken soup calmly. “I’m full.”

Chu Yan’s expression was calm as he wiped the corners of Liu Sanniang’s mouth with a handkerchief.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan walked out. Before Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan could open the door, the door was smashed open. Dozens of people covered in red and infected immediately rushed in.

“Liu Sanniang, did the Star Reaching Tower collapse because of you? Did the plague start because of you? If you don’t give us an explanation today, we will eat you up.”

The man in the lead was a 40-year-old man. He said in a rough voice and looked at Liu Sanniang angrily.

The soldiers protecting Liu Sanniang also tried their best to prevent these people from entering the courtyard.

The man was very angry. He pointed at the soldiers outside the door who were doing their best to push back the infected people. “Liu Sanniang, are you satisfied with watching them risk their lives for you? Aren’t you going to give them an explanation too?”

Liu Sanniang said slowly, “I’ll give you an explanation. As a matter of fact, I’m here to give you an explanation.”

The man’s breathing was rapid, and his eyes were red. “I heard that your blood is the antidote for this plague. Hurry up and cut your wrist and bleed to save our lives.”

The man paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued, “We’re just ordinary people. No matter what you do, you shouldn’t implicate us. I heard that you arc the chosen one. Your flesh and blood will definitely be able to cure this plague.”

The commoners outside went crazy. “Move aside and let us in.”

If Liu Sanniang was the antidote, how could they let her go? They had to drink her blood even if they had to fight to death.

The crowd surged and it was difficult to resist. Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan turned into their original selves.

Hu Yu stood on the wall and shouted at the commoners, “All of you, get lost.”

Liu Yuanyuan slithered to the wall and stuck out her tongue. “This disaster was not caused by my Venerable. My Venerable has already drawn the talismans. Later, she will set up the array to suppress the plague. Calm down and wait..”
