Chapter 715 - 712: Fear of Unforeseen Changes_1
Nanny Tong clapped her hands in delight and said loudly, "Aren’t they all better now! I heard from Yingshuang that... those who took the medicine earlier are now helping to care for the sick!"
Bai Qingyan nodded. "That is indeed a great blessing!"
"I just heard from Xiao Yinshuang that the refugees are calling Doctor Hong a living Buddha, and they want to set up a longevity tablet for him!" Nanny Tong’s smile deepened the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
As soon as Nanny Tong finished speaking, Chun Tao rushed in with a letter, not even stopping to bow, and handed it to Bai Qingyan. "Eldest Miss, a letter from Second Miss! The guard said... the messenger fell off his horse and passed out after saying to deliver it to you."
Bai Qingyan’s heart sank. She steadied herself and opened the letter.
[The state treasury is tight due to the construction of the Nine-Tiered Terrace. The Crown Prince has issued a secret order to kill the epidemic sufferers in Huayang City and Qinhuai City, to leave no living beings, and to burn the corpses.]
Bai Qingyan gritted her teeth, her chest filling with rage, her fingers almost tearing the paper.
Because the state treasury was tight due to constructing the Nine-Tiered Terrace, they decided to massacre the people of Huayang City and Qinhuai City, who were suffering from the epidemic?!
What a good Crown Prince! What a good son of the Emperor!
The people of the two cities were suffering from a disaster, requiring a large expenditure from the state treasury. To focus on the Nine-Tiered Terrace, the Crown Prince wanted to leave no living beings in the cities.
