Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

br>He had hurried all the way back from the frontier without stopping to rest, and the moment he burst into the palace, he fell from his horse.
Fortunately, Chu Yi and his guards happened to pass by on patrol, and after inquiring about his arrival, they brought him to the meeting hall right away.

Xu Chen had the journey back by sheer force of will, and when he heard the Emperor’s question, he replied hoarsely, “More than half of the soldiers at the frontier have contracted an unknown disease overnight, and even the army physician couldn’t identify the cause, but from how contagious the disease is, he infers that it may be a plague.
The Young General sent me back to report the matter to you and ask you to send reinforcements to the frontier, Your Majesty.”

The moment he uttered the word “plague”, fear gripped the hearts of all the court officials in the hall.

Where did this plague come from, and why had it chosen to wreak havoc at the frontier, of all places?

If all the soldiers fell to the plague, how would they be able to go to war? If the enemy were to attack at this time…

Everyone could not help being panic-stricken.

A plague was even more frightening than war.

Frowning, Lu Hetian was about to open his mouth, but Long Yang spoke up before he could.
“How is the Young General doing?”

“The Young General was fine when I left.
He has sealed off all the checkpoints leading to the frontier and imposed a news blackout on the situation in the military camp, so the outside world doesn’t know about the plague yet.”

Xu Chen’s answer managed to assuage Lu Hetian’s worry.

Long Yang breathed a sigh of relief as well.

In the midst of the silence, Xu Chen suddenly added, “The Young General has also humbly requested Your Majesty to send the Empress and the Grand Duchess to assist in curbing the plague at the frontier.”

At his words, an imperceptible frown creased Long Yang’s forehead.

Asking Ling Lihua to go made sense, but how could Lu Tingchen ask the same of Weiwei, knowing that she was pregnant?

However, Lu Tingchen was not a mindless fool.
If he had requested Weiwei’s presence, it must mean that the situation at the frontier was truly bleak.

Lu Hetian did not look too pleased either.
