A gust of morning wind blew by, as gentle as before, but with a hint of blood.
Everyone stared at the two corpses in the courtyard, speechless for a moment.
Zheng Yangsheng's death was sudden, and Fu Bing's death was even more sudden.
People are so vulnerable in the hands of illness.
Lin Wanjie also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
There was no chance for treatment, and it was over before it even started.
Someone was about to come over to see the situation of the soldiers. Lin Wanjie shouted: "Don't even come over!"
The sound was so sudden that the other soldiers trembled in fright.
Lin Wanjie was going to say something more when the door suddenly opened.
Princess Nangong Ying's face was pale. She held her hand on the door frame and looked at everyone present. There were tears in her eyes. She was weak, helpless, and pitiful.
"General Zheng is dead...the soldiers are also dead. Why is this happening?"
Nangong Ying was a little confused. She had just experienced a serious illness. Although it was serious, she survived.
Whether it is General Zheng or the palace soldiers, they should be healthier and stronger than themselves, and they should be able to survive.
Nangong Ying was puzzled and also sentimental.
But in the eyes of all the soldiers and servants, the princess's sad look felt inexplicably strange and gloomy.
Everyone took a step back and looked at Nangong Ying warily.
Even Prince Jing glanced at Nangong Ying solemnly.
Nangong Ying was right, she took a step forward, as if to see the dead soldiers in the courtyard.
Prince Jing suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Nangong Ying looked at Prince Jing, her weak eyes still filled with mist, and she frowned in confusion.
"You are not allowed to leave this place!" Prince Jing raised his voice, "This place is sealed and no one is allowed to enter."
"..." Lin Wanjie was stunned and said quickly, "Your Majesty, the princess's illness is improving and she will recover soon. There is no need to keep this place closed. Moreover, the more important thing now is to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the palace to ensure that similar incidents will not occur again. thing."
"Dr. Lin, you have also seen how serious Nangong Ying's illness is! Even a master like Zheng Yangsheng can't last one night. To be on the safe side, she cannot have contact with anyone, and no one in this courtyard can leave. Of course, including Thank you, Doctor Lin."
Prince Jing's face became increasingly ugly. He turned around and left without saying anything to Lin Wanjie.
The soldiers in the courtyard were afraid of something and wanted to leave the courtyard.
But as soon as these government soldiers arrived at the gate of the courtyard, ruthless spears were pointed at them.
"Your Majesty is destined, no one here can leave."
"Your Majesty, we have no contact with the princess, please let us go."
"Yes, we have been in the yard and have never been to the house. Let us out."
"Your Majesty, please have mercy and let us go out. We don't want to stay with the princess."
The few remaining soldiers yelled out with pale faces, and almost knelt down in tears. The courtyard was like an abyss of hell, and they became extremely fearful.
"You have all seen that some of you have become sick and died, so you can only isolate them all."
"Isolation..." Lin Wanjie muttered in a low voice. Although he was doing the isolation thing, he never said the word "isolation".
How did the soldiers outside hear this?
Moreover, the prince's attitude seems to have changed a bit now, as if he doesn't believe in himself anymore...
Lin Wanjie thought about it, took a few steps forward, and asked, "Brothers, I want to ask a question."
The people outside looked at Lin Wanjie from a distance, and then said, "Doctor Lin, just ask."
"Did the prince meet anyone today?"
After a brief silence, a soldier said: "Doctor Lin is really powerful, you can guess this. To be honest, the prince did meet someone."
"Who is it? Which doctor from Hangzhou City is he?"
"Not a doctor, but an alchemist."
"Alchemist?"
"The alchemist said that there will be a catastrophe in the palace, and the root of all this..."
Before he finished speaking, someone interrupted: "What did you say? You don't want to die?"
"Don't want your life? In the current situation, it's hard to say who can save their lives? What are you afraid of?"
The voice paused again, and then continued: "The alchemist said it was the demon concubine who caused trouble..."
"Demon concubine?" Lin Wanjie glanced at Nangong Ying subconsciously.
Nangong Ying also frowned.
Demon concubine!
"What does this matter have to do with the princess?"
Lin Wanjie felt baffled.
Nangong Ying was even more incomprehensible and hurriedly said: "I...I am not a demon concubine! Cough cough cough..."
Because she was too excited, Nangong Ying coughed again, and her body staggered and fell gently to the side.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Lin Wanjie grabbed her and held her against his shoulder.
This action is a bit ambiguous, but in the eyes of the soldiers, who cares whether it is ambiguous or not?
Someone reminded in a panic: "Doctor Lin, stay away from her! Can't you see? It was this witch who brought the disease to the palace and everyone! General Zheng was killed by her! You have to avoid it." she."
"General Zheng's death was due to my negligence..." Lin Wanjie frowned, still blaming himself.
Moreover, from Lin Wanjie's point of view, Zheng Yangsheng's illness was not transmitted by the princess at all.
Perhaps he had been sick before this and just happened to get sick last night.
Because the princess would not infect Zheng Yangsheng so quickly...
The soldiers did not have any medical knowledge and would only believe what they saw in front of them.
General Zheng died after being locked up in his room overnight. It could only have been caused by the infection from the princess.
As for Lin Wanjie, it was because Lin Wanjie's body was too strong and it was not affected for the time being.
Fortunately, Dr. Lin was able to avoid the enchantress in time. If he continued to entangle with her, he would get sick and die sooner or later.
"Doctor Lin, can't you see such an obvious thing? That alchemist is right. It's not the demon concubine who is causing trouble. Why did she recover after getting sick, but General Zheng died?"
"Exactly! If this wasn't a goblin, he would have died long ago."
"It was this goblin who brought the disease to the palace. Dr. Lin, please stop being obsessed with it."
"I...is it me?"
The princess's whispers came to her ears, and even Nangong Ying herself had some doubts, feeling that what they said might be true.
Even if someone is going to die, he should die himself.
Why can I survive this while General Zheng...
"No!" A firm voice suddenly interrupted, and Lin Wanjie sternly refuted Nangong Ying's self-question.
Nangong Ying's delicate body trembled slightly, and looking at Lin Wanjie's firm and tall body, a trace of warmth suddenly flowed through her heart.
Nangong Ying was a little confused, wondering why this man was so sure and convinced?
Lin Wanjie looked at Nangong Ying. This woman represented hope, the hope of the entire Hangzhou. She represented that ordinary people could survive the disease.
How can it be said that it is a monster that brings disaster?
"Don't listen to their nonsense. The princess is the one who brings hope to Hangzhou."
