The plague

just as the emperor announced it. there was immediately mixed reactions, it was as if the room had been split into two. many were stunned; while many were also happy with it. byeol ignoring all of them walked up to the emperor, knelt down and accepted it "I promise your Highness to do my best and to always continue"

"hmm I will fix an auspicious date for the coronation" the emperor said and then proceeded to walk out.

byeol looked around and he noticed something. those who supported him who those who had heard of him or those who were always fascinated with him wanted him to be crown prince. while those who did not support where those who hated him or rather were supporters of The Empress were against him being put as crown prince.

byeol didn't care about them at all. soon he walked out dragging xingye out with him "let's go" his coronation would be in a few days. and in those few days he would have to have his guard up because the empress would never let him be crowned without a fight, "the battle is not yet over" thought byeol "being crowned as crown prince are still baby steps. I still have a long way to go before I think or before I can finally rest".

Recently they had been a huge plague. it wouldn't have been a problem if it was in the modern times considering that it was just cholera but because of the fact that it was ancient Korea the plague had been wiping away all the poor villages. and the plague was spreading rapidly and that was one big problem with cholera. it spread rapidly, byeol had told his men to keep track of all the deaths and symptoms among other things and to make sure they recorded at least an approximation of the deaths.

Feiye "i want you to look for a suitable place like a medical store for me, it should be big so I can treat patients inside of it then tell nanzhi to go around and spread the word that those who are sick should find their way to the medical store. I will treat them for free. also tell one of the men to deliver the report i had you guys compile" byeol had decided to use his knowledge of medicine in his past life to help the people.

beside the fact that he might seem expressionless,cold and stoic he actually didn't want so many people to die. and beside him helping the people would solidify his position as concrete because they would not want to turn their backs on somebody that helped them when they were dying.
