The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 195 - 95: Trip to Chongqing (16) Xiao Jinsen’s Cunning, Danger Approaches_4

Chapter 195: Chapter 95: Trip to Chongqing (16) Xiao Jinsen’s Cunning, Danger Approaches_4

Xiao Xi’s words left Ye Qichi without any room for rebuttal.

Indeed, that’s the case.

Without any surprises, the medicinal herbs should be delivered here by early tomorrow at the latest.

Once the herbs arrive, considering the number of patients here, we would need to work tirelessly for at least two days and nights.

Ye Qichi therefore no longer held back and began to eat heartily.

The steamed buns were cold and hard, only adding a sense of fullness without any other taste.

The same was true for the porridge.

It had already turned a bit sour.

Yet, Ye Qichi endured and ate everything.

Just after finishing.

It seemed like there was some noise outside the door.

Ye Qichi quickly got up.

She thought the medicinal herbs must have arrived.

She said to the soldier, "Go and check, see if it’s Mr. Pang who sent the medicinal herbs in."

"Okay." The soldier also seemed very excited.

He hurried to the door and knocked on it loudly.

Normally, as soon as he knocked, the soldiers outside would respond to him.

But this time, he knocked for a long time, even swelling his hand, almost breaking the door, yet there was no response from anyone.

What also surprised him was.

It was night, and usually the people who transport the bodies had not come.

Although there were no bodies to transport these days, they would still usually come as routine.

Has something happened outside?!

The soldier hurried back to the hall and said to Ye Qichi, "It seems like there’s no one outside."

Ye Qichi was looking at the medical records she had written.

Calculating in secret, how to distribute the medicines.

At that moment, hearing what the soldier said, she visibly froze.

The soldier told Ye Qichi the surprising news.

Ye Qichi also naturally found it strange.

She quickly followed the soldier back to the gate.

The gate was tightly closed.

Ye Qichi moved closer to a crack in the gate, squinting one eye, trying hard to look outside.

Then, she saw outside, surrounded by a group of torches.

There seemed to be a lot of soldiers around, but it was too dark to see clearly, only the burning torches outside were visible.

Ye Qichi couldn’t help but feel an ominous premonition.

The next moment.

She heard someone outside loudly say, "By the Prince’s order, all patients infected with the plague shall be burned to thoroughly control the plague and thus save the other citizens of Yuzhou City!"

The voice was loud.

Not only did Ye Qichi hear it.

But all the plague-stricken patients inside heard it too.

Upon hearing it.

Chaos immediately erupted inside.

Even if they were confined and on the verge of collapsing, the idea of being burned alive was unbearable!

Moreover, Ye Qichi had clearly given them great hope to cooperate in the treatment, and now with their hopes dashed, they were even less accepting.

Ye Qichi hurried back to the hall.

She shouted loudly at everyone, "Everyone, calm down!"

Still, chaos was unleashed.

"Calm down!" Ye Qichi, using all her strength, yelled out.

That shout successfully made everyone turn to look at Ye Qichi.

"The Prince would never issue such an order, I’m certain the Prince would never issue such an order!" Ye Qichi loudly explained.

"What makes you so sure?!"

"Because I am the Princess!" Ye Qichi enunciated every word, revealing her identity.

Everyone looked at Ye Qichi incredulously.

"I have no need to lie to all of you, I am Princess Ye Qichi! The reason I came here to treat everyone is by the Prince’s order." Ye Qichi naturally aimed to earn Xiao Jinxing good public favor, to win over the citizens, "Someone must be trying to frame the Prince now with false charges!"

"Even so, what do we do now? Just wait to be burned alive?!" a person questioned.

Ye Qichi was somewhat silent.

At this moment, they were like lambs, utterly powerless to resist.

"Let’s break out, it’s better than being burned alive!" a man suggested.

His voice trembled with panic.

"Let’s fight our way out!" another man agreed.

More and more people supported the idea, and some were even starting to fidget.

"Nobody move!" Ye Qichi shouted at them, "Going out now will definitely lead to certain death!"

"If we don’t go out, it’s death too!"

"If we don’t go out, there’s still a chance to live!" Ye Qichi said, "Now we are surrounded by soldiers, and once we go out, we’ll be shot by scattered arrows or burned by fires, but if we don’t move, give the Prince a little time, he will definitely come to save us!"

"How can the Prince save us?! The emperor is high above and far away, does the Prince have power here? Although I don’t know about the court affairs, I’ve heard that the Prince is the least favored royal son by the emperor, he is utterly powerless, how can he save us!" a man retorted.

"He can, believe me!" Ye Qichi said with absolute certainty, "as long as I am here, he will definitely come to save me!"

Everyone exchanged glances.

Although no one rebutted Ye Qichi, there was also definitely no agreement.

"Listen to me, going out now, the moment we open the door is certain death, anyone who doesn’t believe is welcome to try!" Ye Qichi said with a commanding presence.

No one dared to move a step.

Ye Qichi’s words had a formidable deterrent effect.

Everyone involuntarily obeyed her.

"I will now teach everyone how to save ourselves!" Ye Qichi did not delay, and hurriedly spoke.

She was certain Xiao Jinxing would come to save them.

Not because she was there.

She had no influence over Xiao Jinxing.

But she was certain only because, if the plague patients here died, Xiao Jinxing would be blamed for it, becoming utterly sinful!

What she could think of.

Xiao Jinxing could also think of.

So, Xiao Jinxing would definitely come!
