Chapter 800: Leaving the City (1)
As this matter concerned the plague, Xuanyuan Ziming did not dare to let his guard down, let alone joke about the emperor’s safety. Therefore, in the end, he did not enter the palace himself. Instead, he asked Little Zhu Zi, who had been staying in the residence, to write a letter and send it in.
As for why he didn’t write it himself, it was naturally because he was afraid that the letter he wrote would bring about an epidemic.
Ji Luo didn’t say anything about his cautiousness. She let Mo Yuan burn the clothes she had changed out of and went straight home.
"Plague?" Shen Yijia was shocked. "Mother, you said that there’s a plague in Phoenix City?"
She knew what the plague meant, but she had never seen how terrifying it was. Song Jingchen’s expression changed drastically.
"That’s right." Ji Luo nodded with a solemn expression. "This matter hasn’t blown up yet. Go out of the city with Ah Chen and find an empty place to stay for two days. If you’re not feeling unwell, you can return to Great Xia directly."
The Valley of Heavenly Secrets was behind the murder of Xuanyuan Ce, and the people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets had mixed in with the Wu Kingdom’s envoys and entered Phoenix City.
They ran away before the incident happened, and the envoys of the Wu Kingdom were thrown into prison by Xuanyuan Qi. The relationship between the Xuanyuan Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom was completely broken, and there was no possibility of cooperation.
