After returning to the main account, Chu Yuci took out the secret letter from his sleeve, but when he saw the contents of the letter, his palms shook violently.
Snapped!
The secret letter fell to the ground.
"Brother Yuci?" Liu Mingyue saw this scene when she walked in, and subconsciously bent down to pick up the secret letter.
As soon as he picked it up, it was snatched away by a big hand.
"Why is Yue'er here?"
Liu Mingyue blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled gently: "You have been busy all day, and Yue'er was worried about your health, so she specially made a cup of soup and brought it to you."
"Put it on the table."
Chu Yuci's face was a little pale and he looked absent-minded.
Liu Mingyue rarely bothered him. After ordering someone to put away the white fungus and pigeon soup, she said a few words of concern and went out.
The heavy curtain of the tent was lowered, separating the inside and outside.
Chu Yuci sat there in a daze, his eyes distracted as if he was from another world...
After a long time, he called Fengxing: "Inform the imperial doctor to boil all the medicine and I will try it myself."
Feng Xing was astonished: "Master! How can you, with your body of thousands of saints..."
"Go quickly!"
Time is running out. No matter what the price, he will not leave the people of Nancheng and Feicheng alone!
Outside the tent, Liu Mingyue looked back, her eyes full of horror.
She saw the contents of the secret letter!
Although I only glanced at it, I saw a few keywords. The Holy Spirit's meaning is... Nancheng and Feicheng have been completely destroyed, and there is a tendency to spread to the surrounding areas. Within three days, if no prescription for the epidemic can be found, it will... …
Execute them all!
The two cities combined have nearly 100,000 people!
Sacrifice two cities and kill them all to save the entire country and take care of the overall situation.
but……
So decisive and cruel!
Liu Mingyue was horrified and covered her mouth, not daring to say a single word. However, a bold idea gradually emerged in her mind:
Can we use the emperor's help to get rid of Ye Jinxiao?
If the people think that Ye Jinxiao was the one to be punished, she will become a sinner accused by thousands of people. At that time, the only way to apologize is to die!
Liu Mingyue held down her frightened and beating heart and said, "Come here, let Dr. Dong and Wang Wu come to see me."
Back in his tent, Dr. Dong came over quickly.
"The lower official has met the concubine."
Wang Wu was a soldier. He was favored by Concubine Liu and was responsible for keeping an eye on Ye Jinxiao's every move.
The two came and reported news related to Ye Jinxiao.
It is not easy to get rid of Ye Jinxiao with the help of the Holy Master. Once exposed, the nine tribes may be killed. Liu Mingyue does not dare to take action easily without complete assurance.
However, she heard a strange news: "She is looking for a monk?"
Wang Wu nodded: "Yes, she had a conflict with the people, and everyone disagreed with burning the body."
"oh?"
Liu Mingyue burst into laughter after hearing this.
Ye Jinxiao, you idiot, do you think that by finding a few monks to recite sutras for salvation, the people will allow the burning of corpses?
Hahaha.
Such a great opportunity, let's see how she kills her spirit!
-
In the evening, Ye Jinxiao extracted 20 copies of the virus from the patient and used the modern medical equipment in the bracelet to analyze and extract it.
In the first half of the night, we were busy prosecuting the virus.
In the middle of the night, I looked for medicine and prepared it.
Another sleepless night.
The next day, I was so sleepy that I heard a loud noise outside. I pinched my temples for a minute before I recovered.
He walked out step by step and saw dozens of soldiers carrying shovels heading in a certain direction.
"Chun Jing, what are they going to do?"
Over there, Chunjing put down her work and ran over, "Sister Ye, they should be going to the back mountain to bury the body."
There are too many people infected with the disease, and many people die every day. There are not enough people to help. When healthy people hear about the epidemic, they are scared and stay away, and no one wants to volunteer.
So the body is buried every three days.
Huh?
etc.
It was buried just the day before yesterday, and today is only the second day. Logically speaking, shouldn't it be buried tomorrow?
There was a lot of crying in the back mountain.
More than fifty corpses were lying on the ground, and the people knelt beside their relatives, crying heartbreakingly: "Dad, you left before the child had time to be filial to you..."
"Mother, mother, wake up!"
"Whoa!"
The epidemic is taking hold and death is widespread.
The soldiers were used to it, digging holes next to them with big shovels.
Liu Mingyue stood under the tree, wrapped in a fox fur blanket, the breeze blew her tender pink skirt, and her black hair was flying. She was quiet and gentle:
"Fathers and fellow villagers, please show your condolences and let the deceased rest in peace."
"Wait!"
Not far away, a cold voice cut in, and Ye Jinxiao strode over, followed by Chun Jing and others.
When the people saw her, their expressions changed.
This is the woman who said yesterday that she would burn the corpse. It is already very tragic that her loved ones died of illness, so why not keep the whole body?
"Why are you here, sister?" Liu Mingyue looked sideways and smiled warmly, like a little white flower bathing in the sun, approachable.
And Ye Jinxiao, who had a cold breath, was like a tough-minded demon.
The people came to Liu Mingyue one after another.
Ye Jinxiao came over and glanced at the scene.
In the eyes of the common people, these are the corpses of their loved ones; but in her eyes, they are the source of infectious diseases.
Unless completely eradicated, the disease will never be eradicated.
"Don't bury these bodies yet."
Liu Mingyue frowned: "Sister, what do you mean?"
She said: "It's already very pitiful for the common people who have contracted the disease and are trapped here. If we can't even give them a place to stay, won't they become lonely ghosts?"
"Since ancient times, the dead have been considered the most important. Even if you have a big deal, you have to let the dead rest in peace first."
The people's eyes were red with gratitude and grief.
right!
Miss Liu is right!
Even if they risk their lives, they still want their relatives and friends who died tragically to be buried in peace.
Liu Mingyue gave the order: "Come, bury him."
"Wait a minute!" Ye Jinxiao interrupted, "I didn't say not to bury it, I just said to wait a little longer. I have something to say to everyone."
"No matter what you say, we will never agree!" A man in green clenched his fist and said.
"No matter how much money we are given, we will not burn the bodies of our loved ones!" A woman's eyes were red.
"We don't want to hear what you say, we want to bury our loved ones!"
"Yes, buried!"
"Bury!"
Everyone clenched their fists and raised them above their heads, "Miss Liu, please make the decision for us!"
Liu Mingyue curled her lips, she didn't care how many people died, no matter how serious the illness was, as long as she complied with public opinion and pretended, she could win the hearts of the people effortlessly.
You have won the hearts and support of the people, but are you still afraid that you will not be able to take the position of concubine?
"Don't worry, everyone, today, all our colleagues who unfortunately died tragically will be buried."
Ye Jinxiao glared coldly: "Liu Mingyue, don't do any harm here. Take good care of your brother Yu Ci. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Liu Mingyue just wanted to confront her.
Yesterday, Fang Zi's incident caused her to lose all face. Today, she just took this opportunity to conquer the people and establish a good image.
She raised her right hand: "Bury."
"Wait!"
"Obey my order and be buried!"
"Liu Ming..."
"Ah~ sister, don't kill me!" Ye Jinxiao stepped forward, but before she touched the corner of Liu Mingyue's clothes, Liu Mingyue fell to the ground, and the beautiful fox fur rug was stained with mud and became dirty.
She was as frightened as if she had seen a ghost, and crawled in panic with her scratched hands: "Sister, I just pity the people and feel sorry for everyone. I didn't mean to go against you!"
