"This is all because the government jinxes us!"
An old man shouted. His shout was immediately met with enthusiasm.
"The government jinxes us because we are the fiercest area that opposes them! Eeek, what a ruthless government!"
"How dare they do killing in such a way! Even innocent children and babies also die! Damn! They will pay for this!"
Zhu Su could not bear it anymore. He asked, "Isn't this an epidemic? You must assume this as a natural disaster, but why are you actually sure that it is the government who do this?"
"Master Yun tells us!" A man exclaimed in fury, "She said that it is the evil work of a female shaman from Zhou Fan Wang Guo!"
This time Zhu Su's mouth fell open. "Female... shaman?!" How could they accuse him of using a female shaman?! Yun's slander this time had gone too far!...
"Master Yun said that Zhou Wang Fei is a female shaman. To be precise, a female shaman who is very powerful because she has cultivated her power for decades. Because of her blind and dirty love for Zhou Wang, Wang Fei has the heart to kill dozens of innocent people!"
"Such a terrible Wang Fei. I've seen her, she is very beautiful and graceful like a goddess of heaven, yet it turns out that she is a terrible nine-tailed female fox!"
Zhu Su felt as if his brain was struck by lightning. Now they accused Hu Nayin of being the culprit?! Nayin?! How come?!
"You don't even know what kind of person Wang Fei actually is, how can you say such words?!" As Wu Qi scolded, his voice sounded irritated and full of anger.
"That's right. You should suspect the royal physician, or even the Zhou Wang himself who does it, how can you be certain that it is the Wang Fei's job?" Zhu Su asked again. Anger flooded his vein as hearing their sentimental scolding towards Hu Nayin, but he tried to be calm and master his anger.
"Master Yun said, this is Wang Fei's pattern. She knows the pattern crystal clear for decades since Wang Fei is her former disciple." In this part, Wu Qi's heart beat faster. "Master Yun said, Wang Fei is a woman who gets magical power from a very terrible hell, that's why Master Yun doesn't want to admit her as disciple anymore. So terrible, this evil pattern even tangles in halfway, can't be predicted more by Master Yun. That's why Master Yun can't save the victims from death."
Wu Qi's heart kept beating fast nonstop. His hand began to be wet with cold sweat. He knew very well about Hu Nayin's secret - a secret that could possibly take her life right now. The thing he was afraid of, finally arrived...
When Zhu Su heard this fact!
Wu Qi kept observing Zhu Su's face, his body went cold in dread. Indeed, Zhu Su appeared surprised. And he fell silent for a long time. If... His Highness finds out about the dark relationship between Hu Wang Fei and Yun... no! Heaven, please don't let it happen!... Otherwise, Wang Fei will die!
Zhu Su still asked them other questions before he ended the interview session. There was nothing to be afraid of by Wu Qi in his questions or in his actions. Even when Zhu Su closed his notebook and turned around, he still looked normal.
However, His Highness is a cool cat. He is often good at hiding his feelings behind his deadpan expression. I can't be relieved so quickly. I have to seek for solution to prevent Wang Fei from getting into danger!
Zhu Su turned around, left the area, and was about to return to the inn he was staying. But just leaving one kilometer from there, he suddenly felt his head shaking terribly. His steps became irregular.
He was forced to stop walking. His right hand held his head, which was in intense pain.
"Your Highness!" Wu Qi and the others spontaneously supported Zhu Su. "Your Highness, are you alright?"
"Are you infected with the disease?!" Wu Qi asked in a panic.
Zhu Su felt his energy dropped in breakneck speed. It was unnatural. As if all of his energy had been drained at this time. "Th... that..."
The faces of Zhu Su's three bodyguards immediately turned white. The first symptom that local people said, was starting to appear in Zhu Su's body.
"Your Highness. We had better not to go back to the inn, but instead go back to the palace! If you catch the disease, then it's bad! After all, your health is much more important than everything!"
Zhu Su was totally blank. Holding his head, he answered weakly. "Y... yes... we... go home..."
***
Hu Nayin was freaked out as she found Zhu Su had gone out of the palace.
"The gatekeepers said, he went out late at night with Wu Qi, Yan San, and A Nuo." Xia Wen, the court lady who was assigned to be her personal assistant, reported.
Hu Nayin immediately sped off, went to find Liu Ku. He quickly found Liu Ku in his private office. He was busy writing. "Liu Changshi! This is bad!"
Liu Ku put down his brush. "What's bad, my Lady?"
First Hu Nayin looked left and right. After confirming that only the two of them there, she shouted, "His Highness has gone out late at night!"
Liu Ku got to his feet. "What?!?"
"You said, he would change his mind if I am more flirtatious in seducing him and serving his male desires, and I have done my best even though actually I am ashamed and afraid to do it... but why isn't it proven?!..." That was true, at first she was really embarrassed and even scared to do it because the suggestion would make her look vulgar like a hyper prostitute, and in fact, she really disliked to do such since she thought that it was a dishonorable attitude, but she must not lie that she inevitably enjoyed doing it so much. "He still goes out... to Shuanghu District for sure! What should we do?! If he catches the disease... he... he..."
Hu Nayin's hands trembled violently. Liu Ku himself forced his brain to think hard.
"Ah! What's going on there?!" Their attention diverted out of the window. Dozens of maids, eunuchs, and bodyguards were busy pacing back and forth. Their steps sounded restless and frightened. Both of them immediately came out to find out about the real occurrence.
"Wang Fei!" At the same time, Xia Wen approached her, looked terrified. "His Highness Zhou Wang has fallen ill!"
