Chapter 129 Feeling Uneasy
"Let me in, let me in! I am the emperor's son-in-law! Let me in quickly!"
If anything happens to me, you won't be able to bear the consequences.
An arrogant young man's voice came from downstairs.
The emperor's son-in-law?
Yu Wanwan attempted to find information about the relevant people from the original owner's memories.
However, it ended in failure.
I've never heard of it at all.
However, it seemed that she was the only one among those present who did not know.
Upon hearing the words coming from downstairs, the generals beside Pei Yi immediately looked anxiously at Pei Yi.
"General, what should we do? Should we let the prince consort in? If he really gets sick and we don't open the city gates to let him in, when the news gets back to the capital and the eldest princess finds out, she will definitely not let us off the hook."
This time, they finally mentioned someone Yu Wanwan remembered.
The eldest princess was the late emperor's favorite daughter and also the emperor's most beloved younger sister.
Back when Yu Wanwan was still in the capital, she had to go to the palace every two days to deliver food and water, trying to make her presence known to the emperor.
He also had many interactions with members of the royal family in the capital.
The eldest princess was among them.
The eldest princess of the Dasheng Dynasty was a rather plump woman with a very kind personality.
She's also very generous.
Yu Wanwan has twenty boxes of gold and silver treasures in her space, all given to her by the eldest princess.
How could such a good person like the eldest princess have such a selfish man?
It seems she doesn't have a very good eye for men.
Pei Yi frowned.
"Send men to restrain him and make sure he doesn't break into the city."
Yu Wanwan raised an eyebrow.
It seems Pei Yi isn't worried that the prince consort will whisper sweet nothings in the princess's ear after he returns.
Noticing Yu Wanwan looking over, Pei Yi explained, "The eldest princess is a reasonable person."
Yu Wanwan thought about it and agreed.
The eldest princess is a reasonable person.
She has her own judgment.
Moreover, the capital city is currently experiencing the same thing.
The eldest princess naturally knew that under these circumstances, not letting him into the city was the best course of action.
They didn't take the prince consort's threats seriously.
But the prince consort thought of himself as something extraordinary.
"Let me go, let me go, what are you doing?"
"I am the dignified prince consort, take your filthy hands away and don't touch me."
"Put me in quickly."
"I'm starving! Get me some food! I want rice and meat!"
"I want to take a shower."
"What are you all standing there for?"
"Are you all deaf? I told you to let me go."
"I will have the princess exterminate your entire clan; you are all doomed."
"Pei Yi, why don't you hurry up and have someone serve me well? When I return to the capital, I will have the princess exterminate your entire general's family."
"I'm giving you one last chance. If you have people serve me well and make sure I eat and drink well, I might consider saying a few good words for you in front of the princess."
Yu Wanwan: "..."
She looked at Pei Yi: "Does the princess have some kind of leverage over this man?"
Otherwise, how could such a pig be made a prince consort?
And you even send a princess to exterminate someone's entire family?
He might as well just say that the princess is plotting a rebellion and wants to become an empress.
Pei Yi immediately understood Yu Wanwan's meaning and chuckled, "The Prince Consort's father was kind to the late Emperor, and their marriage was also arranged by the late Emperor."
Before the marriage, the prince consort hid his true intentions very well.
Yu Wanwan nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand. Men are all like that. They easily reveal their true nature once they get married."
"I've seen this kind of thing many times."
We've seen it a lot in modern novels and TV dramas.
Pei Yi glanced at Yu Wanwan with an ambiguous expression.
And to comment on her words.
She continued, "The princess and he didn't have a good relationship, so she found a reason to have him accompany the ministers to deliver grain to the border."
He thought he would be completely free once he reached the border, so he was in no hurry to return to the capital.
But as the drought worsened, the horses couldn't even find fodder and couldn't continue their journey, so he was stranded in Taiping Town.
Yu Wanwan was not surprised at all. Princess is such a good person. Unless she is hopelessly in love, how could she possibly have a good relationship with someone like this?
She tentatively asked Pei Yi, "Um... what do you think would happen if we locked him up with someone who's already infected?"
Rather than keeping this scumbag around and letting him talk nonsense and cause trouble for the princess.
It would be better to keep him silent forever.
However, Yu Wanwan was just saying it casually.
Her relationship with the princess wasn't particularly good, and even if it were, she wouldn't have the right to help her take another person's life.
Furthermore, she had never even met this prince consort, and had no grudge against him.
Pei Yi didn't say anything, but asked her whether she wanted to go back to the General's Mansion or stay here.
"I'll stay here and keep watch; you just need to leave peace behind and protect me."
As the Grand General, Pei Yi would definitely have to go and keep busy.
He wouldn't let her go with him.
Yu Wanwan could only watch from afar from here.
"Ah."
“I’ll have Peace and Tall Guy stay here with you.”
"If there's any emergency, you can have Gao Lao pass on a message to me."
The tall man told Anger that he wanted to stay in Luo City to help him obtain more information.
Unger immediately agreed.
He is now staying by Yu Wanwan's side, just like He Ping, serving as her personal bodyguard.
He also brought his gyrfalcon.
The speed of a gyrfalcon is much faster than that of ordinary light-footed martial arts.
***
The man who had tried to threaten them with his identity was knocked unconscious by several soldiers wearing masks and gloves and carried towards Taiping Town.
Several large trucks loaded with goods drove out of the city gate below.
Behind the large truck followed dozens of doctors on bicycles.
Behind the bicycle convoy was a group of soldiers numbering several hundred.
This is the only number of soldiers we can send to help right now.
After all, it wasn't safe outside the other side of the city gate.
This busy period lasted all day.
Gao Lao, relying on his ability to be carried and his speed, flew to Taiping Town, took a look around, and came back.
Yu Wanwan was informed that the situation in Taiping Town was more serious than she had imagined.
In reality, the number of people who died from the disease was far more than a few hundred, but at least around two thousand.
Moreover, their plague broke out early, probably two months ago.
Judging from this, it seems that most of the people in Taiping Town have already been infected with the plague.
Therefore, after Pei Yi led his men to Taiping Town, they did not return until nightfall.
Everything that Yu Wanwan had prepared for them was also transported over.
As the sun set, Yu Wanwan had no choice but to take Heping back to the General's Mansion.
Many of the hundreds of soldiers that Pei Yi brought to help were drawn from the general's mansion.
This means that there are far fewer people in the General's Mansion now.
The entire general's mansion became much quieter.
Yu Wanwan was lying alone in her room when she suddenly felt uneasy.
