Everyone came out of the imperial study.

Facing the cold wind, Bai Yi felt even more determined.

Cold clouds flashed across the sky, and a few dim stars flickered.

“General Bai, I wish you… a triumphant return.” Cabinet Elder Liu gave a fake smile, cupped his hands slightly, and left.

Grand Chancellor Ye wanted to say something but hesitated. He patted Bai Yi and Censor Zhang’s shoulders.

“Come back well. I’ll warm up the wine and wait.”

After they left, Censor Zhang walked to Bai Yi’s side. “General Bai, thank you for this. I won’t forget your righteous help in this life.”

Bai Yi shook his head. “This isn’t righteousness. It’s a responsibility for me as a general. Censor Zhang, the journey ahead will be filled with difficulties. Let’s each cherish our lives.”

The two of them agreed to meet at the moat early tomorrow morning and set off.

He would go back tonight and have a good talk with his family.

The reason why Bai Yi was willing to go without hesitation…

There was one more that he didn’t say.

That was, he vaguely suspected that his wife, Madam Bai, also had gotten infected by the epidemic!

However, her condition didn’t seem to be serious and was getting better by the day.

If his wife was really infected with the plague, she would quickly become a miracle that was cured.

However, to be safe, Bai Yi wanted to go deep into the village infected by the epidemic to find a prescription to treat Madam Bai’s condition.

The officials left.

Gu Yihan rubbed his glabella tiredly.

Just now, he didn’t show any uneasiness in front of outsiders.

However, there was no one else now. It would be a lie to say that Gu Yihan was confident in dealing with the epidemic.

A few hundred years ago, before the Great Qi was founded…

Back then, it was still the world of Nanjing.

However, Nanjing encountered a plague that was rarely seen in a hundred years!

White bones were exposed in the wilderness, and there was no crowing from the roosters for a thousand miles.

There were a few records in the history books, but they could make the cruel scene at that time appear one by one.

“Father-

A soft hand gently placed on his arm.

Gu Yihan came back to his senses.

He remembered that his daughter was still in the hall.

He restrained his tired expression and carried the child with a smile.

“Good Nuo’er, are you anxious from waiting? Father will bring you back to the Qiushui Palace now to sleep!”

Gu Nuo’er’s eyes were black and watery. She blinked her long eyelashes.

She placed her small head on her father’s shoulder.

“Father, are you worried about the epidemic?”

Gu Yihan smiled. “That’s right, but Nuo’er, don’t be afraid. Father will definitely protect you well.”

Gu Nuo’er wrapped her small arms around his neck.

“Father, don’t worry. With Nuo’er around, nothing will happen. Father, do you still remember what the title Yaoguang means?”

Gu Yihan smiled and replied, “Yaoguang, the one to supply food to all lives.”

Gu Nuo’er nodded. “Not only that, but Star Yaoguang is also an auspicious star. Nuo’er will make an auspicious sharp sword to cut off all the filth and bad things for Father.”

After saying that, she reached out a small arm and waved it twice.

Gu Yihan was amused and his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a lot.

“Father is very satisfied with Nuo’er’s sincerity. I hope the epidemic can end as soon as possible.”

“Father, for safety, the state school will be stopping classes for the next few days. From tomorrow onwards, can I stay at Elder Brother Siming’s house?

“Elder Brother Siming is skilled and will protect me well. Moreover, Uncle Bai has gone to Ning’an Village. Madam Bai will be afraid if she’s alone at home.

Baby Nuo will go and accompany her.”

Gu Yihan hesitated for a moment and thought about it.

He would probably be very busy these few days and didn’t want Gu Nuo’er to be frightened by the current tricky situation.

Therefore, he nodded and agreed. “Alright, tell your mother about this later too.”

The child replied happily..
