Just half a Shichen later, news that even the Imperial Physician was helpless against the epidemic had spread throughout Longnan County Government.
Following that, Chu Yuntian appeared at the entrance of the Governor's Office and introduced to the people his recurring old illness and how Qi Yue had treated him, while he vehemently denounced Feng Liang.
His exact words were:
"I have always held Feng Liang in high esteem, but who knew he would seize power while I was ill and even frame Miss Qi. You all saw it, Miss Qi has stayed in Longnan and did not leave; she entered the city when Longnan County Government was in dire straits. If it really were her doing, she wouldn't have bothered showing up only to provoke a villain like Feng Liang! To speak unpleasantly, with Miss Qi's character and ability, would she really need to go to such lengths if she were involved in this?"
