After the Crown Prince arrived at the inn, he explicitly stated that he wanted to see the envoy from Bei Xia, but the guards informed him that the envoy was not there.
"Not there?"
How could they not be there?
Given the current situation in the Imperial City, no one dares to wander around, fearing contracting the epidemic, with no medicine to cure it, and carelessly losing their life!
Yet these envoys dare to run around?
Connecting this to Jun Ning's dream, the Crown Prince suddenly thought that these envoys might inherently be carriers of the epidemic, and their wandering might not be out of boredom, but have ulterior motives.
If their intentions were malign, deliberately spreading their epidemic, leading to the entire Imperial City being ravaged by it...
Upon thinking of this possibility, the Crown Prince felt a tightness in his heart and quickly dispatched people to search for these envoys.
