"How did the third prince know about this epidemic?" Duan Chengxuan walked quickly into the room.

Within the house, Su Yuwan's face was also filled with worry. The Vice General Zhou who had helped her that day had long been pushed out to take the blame by Duan Chengxuan. Now, she had originally planned to hide this matter from him, but now he had made a mistake.

Cheng Shan followed closely behind, "It was Third Prince's spies who spread the news. I heard that there were refugees who fled into the mountains and disappeared without a trace. I'm afraid that the refugees might leak out."

Duan Chengxuan's expression was gloomy. "What's the situation downstream?"

Six thousand households were flooded and suffered heavy losses. The prescription that the consort had brought was indeed useful, but the location was different. A few doctors were still improving and had yet to show any results. Cheng Shan's face darkened.

The six thousand households were estimated to be over ten thousand refugees, but in the territory under his jurisdiction, there were only a few hundred thousand citizens. The six thousand households would be over ten thousand refugees, but in the lands under his jurisdiction, there were only a few hundred thousand citizens.

Noticing that Duan Chengxuan was silent, Su Yu Wan waved her hand and instructed the others, "Send someone to look for those few refugees. We can't spread the news of this matter."

"Think of a way to treat those refugees. If you don't have enough manpower, send someone to Yue Shan City. We must settle these matters." Duan Cheng Xuan could be considered to have recovered from her shock and instructed the others.

Cheng Shan had only given the orders, but it had never been able to match up with the hearts of men.

Regardless of whether or not Duan Chengxuan and Su Yu Wan were still trying to cover up for him, the Third Prince had long since dealt with the matters of his own territory and changed his name, intentionally disguising himself as a commoner to sneak into Duan Chengxuan's camp.

The few of them travelled day and night, and they had the help of many 'good people' along the way. Everything they did was done by Duan Chengrui in private.

There were only a dozen or so people here. While they were resting in this run-down temple, an old man of forty sat beside Duan Chengrui and patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, if we can't get through this path, then I'm afraid we won't even be able to get through the gates of Sky Flame. You're still young, you don't have to follow me."

Duan Chengrui looked strangely at the old man beside him who couldn't read a few words. "But continue to conceal it, what about your family members?"

"Uncle is advising you, as long as you leave the matter of the complaint to us, you don't have to bet your life on a young man like you. I heard that there are many cabins nearby that can cure the disease, and if you go there, you can go and get food, even if you want to follow us, you can't return." A woman next to him also came over.

Even though this woman was old and white, she had been doing farm work all the way back in high spirits.

Two or three girls and one or two young men were still dissatisfied, and Duan Chengrui shook his head as well. "Your majesty the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, what the hell is the emperor doing!?" "It would be better if Crown Princess Jing personally found a prescription for us and saved our family's lives." The other coarse old man threw the Sargasso Grass in his mouth onto the ground, stepped on it and stood up, "And Uncle is right, isn't that group of officials pressing down on us just for their own black muslin hats, even if we enter the city gates, we will be targeted by those senior officials, you youngsters don't have to face danger."

"That's right. Since we're already at the Sky Flame Gate, why should we risk our lives?"

They started talking all at once. The people who had nothing to do with the disaster now considered each other, so they could only hope that the young ones would not continue forward.

Duan Chengrui wiped away the dust on his face, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment.

He originally came here personally in order to play the card of favors, to let royal father see his good side.

But now, he saw the kindness of these commoners that he had never paid attention to.

Just as they were arguing, they heard a rustling sound from outside. A group of coarse elders touching me, touching you, they all woke up and quickly put out the candles. The group of people hid themselves in a pile of straw.

Duan Chengrui immediately frowned, could it be that in the eyes of these commoners, Sky Flames were not so trustworthy?

After a while, the entrance of the temple was opened, and another man in white pulled her in. With a veil over his face, he narrowed his eyes and said, "My lady has specially arranged for us to bring you into the city."

Another man in black followed from behind, and the young girl also jumped in. Behind her also followed a skinny girl, who was also dressed in black, wearing a black veil, and only had her eyes on them.

"There's no need to hide. This young master in white is extremely skilled, I can tell how many people he has. You must not have eaten or worn anything along the way. I've specially sent something for you. Come and get it." The mischievous girl quickly put down the two large boxes of food and giggled towards the gaps between the piles of straw. "My name is Ah Zi, I'm from Wind Listening Pavilion, I'm not from the imperial court, so there's no need to suspect me."

Duan Chengrui was slightly stunned, and he didn't wait for the people beside him to mutter before walking out.

Under the thin moonlight, he was able to recognize someone with just Gu Danyan's eyes. However, Gu Danyan also saw him clearly and opened her eyes wide: "I didn't expect you to come by yourself …"

"I didn't expect you to come in person." Duan Chengrui smiled helplessly.

The man in white frowned as they looked at each other, but Gu Mingyan stepped forward and said helplessly, "It's inconvenient to reveal my identity, but if you want to reveal your identity, the people here will believe you."

Identity!

Upon hearing these two words, the refugees became excited and looked towards the young man.

Duan Chengrui could only take out his identity card and helplessly said, "It's not the time to reveal it. All you need to know is that this Heavenly Flame can enter."

A few of the refugees' eyes were wide open. The two girls' eyes were even red.

The three words on the medallion had flood dragons, and Navy Tide naturally knew that it was the identity of the third prince.

However, he never expected that the Third Prince would actually accompany these refugees for more than ten days!

A few people rushed out to eat. Ah Zi then went to the horse on the side of the mountain and retrieved quite a few water bags and bedding, consoling them one by one, "Only when you have eaten your fill will you have the strength to cry out grievances. You must report it as it is, and you must not have any selfish thoughts towards officials."

Ah Zi continued to babble on and on while she looked around to prevent anyone from coming over.

The ghost didn't feel reassured about the man in white. He knew that he had hurt Gu Xuan Yan multiple times, and the man in white didn't feel reassured about the man in white. He shouldn't have come for this.

Behind the dilapidated temple, only then did Gu Daiyan dare to remove her veil. She looked at Duan Chengrui helplessly and said, "Even if it's to show your kindness in front of the Emperor, there's no need to keep up for more than ten days."

"If I did not follow them for more than ten days, perhaps I would not know that these refugees are no different from the citizens of Sky Flame." Duan Chengrui held the water bag in his hand and sank into deep thought. "I finally know why you're willing to condescend to be a doctor, regardless of whether you're rich or poor."
