Chapter 990: Stay at the Mansion
Chapter 990: Stay at the Mansion
When he saw the contents inside, his eyes narrowed.
He didn't know what was happening outside.
Every day Hu Wei told him that the situation outside was not as serious as described in the ancient kiln.
It just said that there were no people wandering around the city outside.
He thought that maybe they had no food to eat or no money to buy things. The weather was cold during this period, so there were fewer people.
I didn't expect the situation outside the city to be so serious.
This shouldn't be the case! Huang Bofu should have arranged for all the disaster victims outside to be taken care of.
What was going on this year? He had never encountered anything like this before.
He shouted to the guards outside: "Someone come over here."
The guards outside soon came to Si Chen and said, "This princess cannot go out, and I ask you to tell me what's happening outside every day. Such a serious thing happened outside, and you didn't even tell me."
"Miss, what I report every day is true." The guard knelt on one knee.
"Then let me ask you what the situation is like outside the city now?" Si Chen was very angry now.
He can't go out now, and even the guards won't tell him the truth. It's really depressing staying in the palace.
It would be nice if he could do something for the people when he goes out.
"Princess. The prince asked you to stay in the mansion for your own good. There are disaster victims everywhere outside. Many people have died. The mansion is the safest place now." The guard said seriously and solemnly.
"Didn't the royal uncle arrange people to distribute porridge? Many wealthy officials and businessmen also spontaneously donated so much food to open porridge stalls. So many people shouldn't have died." Si Chen looked at the guard in a daze.
The guard said calmly, "Someone is already distributing porridge outside. But there are too many people, and quite a few have frozen to death. The army has arranged for people to clean up. There haven't been any problems yet."
"Okay, go and bring Gu Yao to me now. She has nothing to do at home recently, and it will be safer for her to stay with me." Si Chen instructed the guards around him.
The guard then breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the princess didn't make a fuss about going out.
The guard immediately went down to arrange for someone to pick them up.
Gu Yao paced back and forth in the yard of her home.
Knowing the current situation outside the city, I am very worried.
Once the plague breaks out, there will be massive deaths. How can she contribute her plague prescription?
If she contributes directly, the merit value will definitely be reduced, but as long as someone is saved and she helps others, she will be able to feel the merit.
As long as she is in good health, that's the best, isn't it?
She now exists in this world.
Then live well in this world.
The only person she knew and could get in touch with was the princess.
Her thoughts were spinning in a whirlwind.
"Miss, there are people coming from the palace outside. The princess wants to take you to her house to stay for a while." Tiantian has been worried recently whether the safety outside will affect the city.
Now the princess has come to take the young lady to live in the palace.
The safest places in the capital are probably the imperial palace and the prince's mansion.
If the young lady can stay in the palace for a while, she can live a more comfortable life during this period.
The food in the palace is much better than that in their home, and the young lady can spend a few days in peace.
"Okay, go prepare some clothes for me to change into." Gu Yao said.
This time, she also wanted to go to the palace to talk to the princess about this matter.
Even if she ignored these things, once the plague spread to the capital, her people would not be able to escape.
She contributed the recipe not only to help her subordinates, but also to save herself.
The plague doesn’t care how healthy your body is. Even a strong person will collapse instantly under the attack of the plague virus.
Gu Yao instructed his men to disinfect the yard every day.
She made a plague-blocking potion and sprayed it in the yard every day to ensure safety.
She followed him to the palace, with a heavy mask on her face.
This was made by Gu Yao with the help of Tiantian. It is filled with layers of cotton, which also helps to keep warm.

"Sister, now you're here. I've been playing alone in the mansion and am almost bored to death. Please stay here today and keep me company!" Si Chen is about to explode from boredom.
The princesses in the palace are all now in the palace, and I don’t know whether they can’t come out or they dare not come out.
She couldn't stand other young ladies from wealthy families and always complained about them.
"Well, I came with my luggage this time, so of course I'm going to stay here for some time. But I brought a guard and a little maid with me, so I came with three mouths to feed." Gu Yao laughed.
"Even if there are thirty mouths to feed, the palace can provide them with food. I've asked someone to prepare a yard for you, it's right next to mine, you can stay here as long as you want." Now that she had someone to play with her, she was naturally happy.
It also made the guards feel relieved.
"A lot of people have died outside and were not buried in time. Have you heard about this?" Gu Yao looked at Si Chen with a serious expression.
Si Chen looked at Sister Yao, who was always gentle and kind, and now had this attitude. Many people had died outside, and she had no choice.
A lot of money was also donated from the palace.
The last time a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet was held in the palace, he took the lead in donating 50,000 taels of silver, in addition to 5,000 dan of grain.
The life in their palace is much worse than before.
"Sister Yao, I know that many people died outside. This year is a natural disaster, and I didn't expect such serious consequences. It's only more than a month before the New Year's Eve. Looking at the situation outside, it should be that the people in the army haven't had time to deal with it yet, right?" She had been staying in the palace. She wanted to go out to take a look, but was always stopped by the guards.
The princess also exempted her from paying respects and let her do her own thing.
Is it that the princess doesn't want to control Si Chen? Every time she sees Si Chen, the princess has a headache, worried that Si Chen will make her look bad and lose face. Wouldn't her reputation as the princess in the palace be ruined in the future?
It would be enough to just meet and greet each other on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Si Chen was also happy and comfortable, doing whatever he wanted.
She had always followed the prince in the palace and studied in the palace. She was a good student who slept on the table.
The second half of the year has been uneasy, and Si Chen's biological father, Prince Xian, asked her to stay in the mansion and not run around.
He was also worried that something might happen to his only legitimate daughter.
"Do you know what will happen if people are not buried in time?" Gu Yao said seriously.
"This..." Si Chen suddenly thought of it. He had heard some about it when he was studying before.
Her expression suddenly changed: "Is it a plague? The weather is so cold now, it's not summer, it should be okay, right?"
