But why did they know Yu Wenye would get sick, and they cleared out all these medicinal herbs from Daxing to Fufeng so far in advance?
Could it be poisoning?
No, impossible!
From the time we returned to Daxing to the expedition to Fufeng, we've eaten and lived together along the way, if it really was poisoning, then I should have been poisoned as well.
Moreover, if it was poisoning, Yu Wenye's symptoms should be from poisoning, not a plague?
But the plague——
These two words made Shang Ruyi's scalp tingle even more, she suddenly looked up and asked the guards, "When you searched for those few kinds of herbs in the city today, did you notice any cases of plague among the citizens?"
The few of them exchanged glances, all shook their heads, and said, "Lady, no, we didn't."
"Outside the city?"
"None either."
"..."
Shang Ruyi's brow furrowed even tighter.
