Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1291: Blockade

Lan Fan’s smile at the corners of his lips faded.

Chu Minghao wanted to speak, but in the end, under the icy side profile of Chu Qianli, he refrained from saying more.

This woman spoke with an authoritative aura about her, one that astonishingly matched the Emperor’s.

He had initially deemed her an imposter, but now observing her, why did she indeed seem to possess the air of nobility?

After all, she was once the Empress of Longteng Country.

The kingly aura was naturally ingrained, easy to understand.

In any case, this woman was not an easy opponent.

"Xi Jiu, gather the villagers showing symptoms together, and I will check their pulses," she commanded.

Not far away, villagers lay on blankets spread on the ground by the guards, each looking lethargic, some even foaming at the mouth.

Indeed, it looked as though they were poisoned.

"Princess, we all took the medicine last night..."

No one dared to say it was the Princess’s medicine they had taken.

But everyone knew, the medicine from last night was given to them on the Princess’s orders.

Now, one by one, they were feeble, feverish, vomiting and with diarrhea—weren’t these the signs of poisoning?

Chu Qianli glanced at the village chief nearby: "Order everyone to put on their masks."

The village chief was still respectful towards the Princess, although he did not know whether she truly had medical expertise or if the previous night’s medicine was indeed problematic.

But they were people of the Imperial Family; the Emperor’s grace was vast, and the Emperor would not harm them.

"Everyone, hurry and put on your masks."

"But it’s because we took hers..."

"No more talking, hurry up, put on your masks, quick!"

"Hurry up! The Princess is coming! Quickly put on the masks."

The Princess was truly on her way over.

The villagers lying on the ground, weakened, looked incredulously at the approaching figure.

This place...this dirty place, the Princess was actually willing to come here.

Chu Qianli also donned a mask, approaching with a grave expression.

"It may not necessarily be poisoning," she said, turning to glance at Chu Lingyang, "Second Uncle Emperor, don’t go over there yet."

"What do you mean?" Chu Lingyang immediately tensed up, a flicker of unease rising in his heart.

Such caution from the Princess, could it be... could it really be a plague?

Since the collapse of the Moat and the arrival of the flood, it had been only three days.

Three days... If there were symptoms, they should be manifesting about now.

Chu Qianli didn’t say much, just waved her hand to suggest he stay calm, as she herself put on medical gloves and hurried over.

"Princess..."

"I am the Doctor."

Having said that, she already squatted down next to a villager who was filthy from vomiting.

"Prin..Princess..." The villager was uncomfortable, instinctively trying to hide his hands.

He was far too dirty, his clothes stained with vomit, how could he let the noble Princess touch him.

Even though they had taken the medicine from the Princess last night, and now were in such a state, they couldn’t help but harbor some resentment in their hearts.

Yet the resentment and grievances dissipated completely as the Princess personally took his pulse.

The surrounding villagers were all immensely shocked.

Nobody expected that the Princess would not disdain them at all.

Chu Qianli didn’t overthink it, her elegant fingers landing on the villager’s wrist before her.

The more she felt his pulse, the more serious her expression became.

Everyone was on edge.

Who knows how much time passed, Chu Qianli suddenly stood up, turned and looked at the guards, and said in a deep voice:

"All guards put on masks, drink a bowl of the prepared medicine, then bring the villagers showing symptoms here to be centralized. Second Uncle Emperor, order people to quarantine this area!"
